Today I visited a local Women’s and Girls’ Emergency Centre in Burwood to announce a $20,000 grant to go towards much needed repairs and improving child safe areas at the refuge.

Helen, Katie and all their staff do amazing work in supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our community. Their passion and genuine care for their clients shines through in everything they do.

As the local member I’m proud to be able to support such an important service.

In the 2016-17 Budget, the Turnbull Government announced $100 million funding for the ‘Third Action Plan’ – initiatives to combat domestic violence.

This funding was in addition to the $100 million Women’s Safety Package which was announced as the first act of the Turnbull Government.

We are determined to combat the scourge of domestic violence in our society.

Today, I’m delighted to announce that a re-elected Turnbull Government will contribute $1.3 million to Burwood Football Club and $1 million to Abbotsford Juniors Football Club (AJFC).

This money will go towards the redevelopment of the facilities at Campbell Park in Chiswick and Centenary Park Burwood. Our local sports clubs are the life blood of our community, contributing to the health and wellbeing of our children – I’m so proud to support them!

I played on these two grounds as a kid (albeit for Strathfield Strikers!) and some of my fondest memories are of coaching my son and daughter at these grounds. As your local member, I will ensure that families can continue creating their own special memories. Who knows, our kids could be the future Caltex Socceroos who are playing on Campbell Park or Centenary Park in the coming weekends!

Both Abbotsford Juniors and Burwood FC are important community organisations and these contributions will help them continue their brilliant work.

If Western Sydney Wanderers FC or Sydney FC need coaching assistance, I’m available whenever needed (with the sunnies!).

I was pleased to announce yesterday that a re-elected Turnbull Government will contribute $300,000 towards works required to the church of Saint Nectarios Burwood.

The Government’s investment in the church building of St. Nectarios will help the parish community continue to undertake their magnificent work throughout the Inner West.

Our local Greek-Australian community is an outstanding example of all that is great about multicultural Australia, and there is no better example of the Greek-Australian community than the members of the Parish of St. Nectarios.

Father George Liangas and his team are continually giving to our community and I am delighted to be able to recognise their important work with this proposed federal government support.

It was great to show Steven Ciobo MP some of the wonderful businesses here in Reid during his visit today. We spoke with entrepreneurial local business people who are exporting wine, meat products, logistics and e-commerce services to China, and heard how the recently signed trade agreements have boosted their business success.

The Turnbull Government is committed to helping local businesses like these thrive by creating new opportunities and reducing the small business tax rate.

A re-elected Turnbull Government will continue to deliver even more opportunities for local businesses with our ambitious trade agenda.

And thank you to 85 Degrees Coffee Australia in Burwood for the delicious pastries and cakes!

This afternoon I visited the Elderly Australian-Chinese Home in Burwood to see their “Thursday Elderly Activity” (TEA) held every Thursday. The program is designed to prevent social isolation and is very well received – another great initiative run within our local community. It was a fun afternoon with many smiles and laughs being shared!
