The ANZAC Day Dawn Service at McQuade Park, Windsor attracted a huge crowd who came to pay their respects and to honour those past and present serving members who have defended our freedom and the country we live in today.

Thank you to Leon Walker and the volunteers from Windsor RSL Sub-Branch for organising the ceremony.

It was great to see generations coming together this morning to honour our veterans and serving Defence personnel.

If you have ever been to Hawkesbury Hospital for treatment, surgery or as a visitor, you quickly acquire a sense of respect for the staff who so devotingly care for us.

Why then should they be disrespected when NSW Health takes over the operation of this hospital from 1 July 2024?

Many loyal Health Care workers have accrued annual leave and long service leave whilst employed at the hospital under St John of God Health Care.

As they transition to NSW Health, they have not been given any assurance that their entitlements will transfer across too.

It’s just not good enough and we need to support these amazing workers, who were there for us through the bushfires of 2019/2020, the seven floods we have had in the past four years and of course the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hawkesbury Hospital Health Care workers should not be disadvantaged in this changeover.

Today I stood beside them without fear or favour.

You can support the hospital staff too by contacting the Minister for Health, Ryan Park MP and insisting that staff entitlements should be carried over to NSW Health from 1 July 2024.

Massive thanks for your presence and message of support! You handled that loud hailer like an expert!

Thank you Robyn for your support in this issue. We appreciate your efforts on our behalf.

Do they have unions in Australia?

Thanks for your support Robyn Preston MP. Let’s hope the Hon Ryan Pike takes the time to read our pleas for support for our wonderful Hawkesbury District Health Service staff. Fires, floods and pandemics have not stopped them from caring for the community. Let’s hope this issue that could be fixed doesn’t stop them.

Thank you so much for coming and supporting us today, it means a lot 💞💞💞

Anzac Day is a time to honour and remember those who served and gave their lives in the Great War. In the years since, Anzac Day has evolved into a day of remembrance for all who have served and who sacrificed their lives in conflicts that Australia has participated in.

In dawn services and marches around the country, we connect to the Anzac Spirit to pay respect to all Australians killed in military operations, our Veterans and our current serving members.

Anzac Day can be a time of heightened emotions for Defence and Veteran personnel. If you or someone else you know needs extra support, please call Open Arms on 1800 011 046 or visit .

We will remember them. Lest we forget.

A sunny Sunday brought a big crowd out to the Hawkesbury Show again today and there were plenty of smiles as entertainers frolicked about and folk marveled at the displays, food choices and crowd stopping super stunts.

Congratulations to the 2024 Annual Hawkesbury Show volunteers and committee members for organising one of the biggest and best shows I have ever seen.

We were so happy to be part of the Alpaca activities this year with our show team (both 4 legged and 2 legged) plus our #tokenllama Hokey Pokey!! Can’t wait for next year!!!!

Another top day at the Hawkesbury Show which saw special guest Johanna Griggs from Better Homes and Gardens Australia, officially open the 2024 Show.

Next came the Show parade and then the announcement of the winner and runner up of the 2025 Sydney Royal AgShows NSW Hawkesbury Young Woman.

Add to that the wood chopping competition, RAAF displays, cattle, goat, sheep, poultry and other animal judging and it was a pretty full day.

Thank you to everyone who dropped by my stand to have a chat.

I will be there tomorrow, so I hope to see you there.

HAWKESBURY SHOW 2024!

As my Uncle Kevin would say - ‘What a corker of a day!’

There was so much going on at the Show today and the weather was perfect.

You really need more than a day to appreciate everything, so if you are coming along tomorrow or Sunday, come on over to my stand and say hello.

I would welcome your conversation about what’s important to you.

When you take in the sites you will be amazed at the stunning display of craft, art and produce and tomorrow is the official opening with a grand parade which is one of the highlights.

I hope to see you there.

Have a great day

Not your first coffee from the tractor I’m guessing Robyn 😁

Great advocates for the Hawkesbury.

Two wonderful women leaders from the Lib party & for the Community!

Great place

The event that unfolded at Bondi Junction has left people shocked, frightened and with a great sense of sadness.

It was so surreal and it is something we don't expect to happen in this country.

What should have been an afternoon shopping experience like any other, turned into chaos, lives were taken, people were seriously injured and others were inflicted with the trauma of this ordeal.

Those watching also became victims as we saw the terror unfold before us, now burdened by fear or anxiety. Parents should try to limit the exposure of this incident because it can add to the distress of teenagers in particular and younger children.

The Australian Red Cross has a booklet on its website to help parents
The Kids Helpline is available 24 hours on 1800 551 800. Parents can get counselling support on that number as well.

NSW Health has now declared a disaster mental health response and are deploying additional highly skilled staff trained in trauma and grief counselling. Some of those staff will be at Bondi Junction today.

Adults needing help can call the 24 hour NSW Health, Mental Health Line on 1800 011 511 or Lifeline on 13 11 14.

PITT TOWN EVACUATION ROUTE MUST BE UPGRADED NOW!

Opposition Leader Mark Speakman MP and Wendy Tuckerman MP were able to see for themselves, the condition of the evacuation route at Pitt Town, when they visited Hawkesbury this week.

Thanks to Sarah McMahon - Mayor of Hawkesbury, Chris Bell and Peter Ryan from Pitt Town Progress Association for also joining us.

Having a safe passage for more than 3,000 locals to escape floodwaters is essential, but this evacuation route needs an upgrade.

The flood inquiry of 2022 recommended it be upgraded - which is estimated to cost around $12 million.

I am calling on the Labor Government to fund this vital project.

Premier Minns won’t commit to building the Warragamba Dam wall, so how about saving Pitt Town families and their livestock when they have to escape the raging waters…. and it will happen again!

How about it Premier Minns?

Comment on Facebook PITT TOWN EVACUATION...

And what about Cornwallis?

Fair point but the coalition had 10 years prior to the current State Govt to do things about it? Why wasn’t it as important under their watch?

Warragamba doesn’t address all the issues.
What about the residents on the other side of the river?

Is there any resolution about the keys to enable use of the evacuation route because on Monday meeting of the Progress Association we were told it was held by Mr ??
👍🤓🙏

where is Susan Templeman as the Feds should be chipping in as well. Didn't see her out and about for as photo op during the recent flood

Is Pitt Town the only suburb that matters to you when it comes to evacuation routes Robyn Preston MP?
There are many many roads that go under prematurely and trap people with houses way below 22m which is how high most of Pitt town is, and most of the locals complained because it’s hard to get in and out for work!
How about focusing on ALL major evacuation routes being upgraded to 2024 standards and open to a minimum of 17m! It’s the least they can do for us!

Hi Robyn

The state election was held last year in March and before that we had 3 major flood events where your party and coalition party were in power. The state of the evacuation route was very much the same then as it is now. You had time to fund this vital issue whilst in government and as the member for Hawkesbury. Sarah also had ample time to apply pressure to her state colleagues whilst they were in government. Partisan politics is really disgusting especially when it comes to the Hawkesbury and that applies to both sides.

So what are you doing about it? Tagging the Premier on social media is not going to work. As the State member, what have you done to progress this? All we are seeing at the moment is photo ops with the Mayor in a desperate bid to get the Libs back onto Council.
