Ryan Park

Shadow Minister for the Illawarra Ryan Park MP earlier this month requested Premier Mike Baird to put politics aside and inject some bipartisan assistance into the Illawarra region as a matter of urgency. 

The Baird Government needs to come clean on the future of ethanol production in NSW, following a secret review of the 6 per cent ethanol mandate. 

How will the Corrimal of the future look? That is exactly what residents have been wondering for a long time and will now have the change to have their say. 

The Draft Corrimal Town Centre plan is being developed and Member for Keira Ryan Park has said it is time for local residents to have their say about how Corrimal can be improved, enhanced or changed. 

The Baird Liberal Government has failed to meet the on-time running target for Sydney Buses in each of the past three years, according to the independent Auditor-General’s report into the performance of Sydney’s public transport.  

I am urging Keira residents to nominate local seniors who give their time freely and make contributions to the community. This is an opportunity for their efforts to be acknowledged.  

Many will know that I have been a long-time advocate for the availability of medicinal cannabis, and today I have thrown my support behind NSW Labor Leader Luke Foley and his determination to see that chronically ill people in our community can access the benefits that this drug can bring in terms of pain relief and quality of life.

Mt Keira has long been talked about needing revitalising and now I have been able to secure the first funding boost that will enhance the already picturesque Mt Keira Scout Camp facility.

Mr RYAN PARK (Keira) [12.15 p.m.]: I inform the House of a very important issue in my electorate concerning Corrimal Beach, which over the past 12 months has lost an enormous part of its beach area owing to dune erosion issues. Corrimal Beach is home to several hundred junior lifesaving club members, about 300 of whom registered over the past few weeks. Last week I met on site with council representatives, the President of Corrimal Surf Life Saving Club, Tony Cartwright, and members of the club to assess the situation and to see what can be done.

Gough Whitlam will forever be remembered as the architect of Modern Australia – he was a true leader whose policies shaped the nation as we know it.

The NSW Liberal National Government has today voted against a bill that would have seen soaring TAFE fees capped at the current levels.
