I am speaking to you from the traditional lands of the Gu-ring-gai people. I acknowledge them and pay my respects to their Elders, past, present and emerging.
Can I remind everyone that the land on which we gather is, was and always will be aboriginal land.
First up, I’d like to acknowledge the impact that the COVID019 pandemic has had on the volunteers who are the lifeblood of the member organisations of the Nature Conservation Council.
I’d like to begin by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land and pay my respects to owners past, present and emerging.
Can I thank the Sydney Morning Herald for the opportunity to address this Sustainability Summit.
The “Herald” is an important institution in the history and daily life of our state. Its enduring contribution to public debate reflects the commitment of the people who work there and the continued importance of daily newspaper journalism.
Berowra Waters Inn is a day in the country, a water-access-only foodie’s paradise sited in dense bushland just an hour north of Sydney’s centre. At least, that’s how it used to be. The Glenn Murcutt-designed, glass-walled 1980s icon was considered among Australia’s most expensive and cutting-edge restaurants, the place for those raking it in when greed was good.
After being elected as Member for Hornsby in March 2011, I have embarked on many initiatives that the community and I see as pivotal issues for Hornsby. I see and understand the needs of the community and am proud to play my part.
