Mental health issues are particularly terrible in the widowed world. Would love to have a chance to discuss that with U soonish.

A Brilliant Speech Robyn , lets hope they listen

Thank you Robyn, well said.

We need all the push for delivery of mental services particularly in the Hawkesbury. More power to you Robyn.

Your awesome Robyn well spoken 😊👍

So true. The government has defunded this sector of public health for far too long with terrible repercussions in the community.

Are you prepared for anything?
Today in Parliament Fire & Rescue NSW raised awareness of the importance of having a working smoke alarm in your home.

Did you know that 44% of house fires start in the kitchen?

People walk away from their cooking, get distracted, play with their mobile phone and before you know it, the kitchen is ablaze.

A fire can start rapidly and have devastating circumstances so #BeFireSafe.

Should be focussing on stopping geoengineering as my multiple emails to you explained in detail.

The Hope Run captured our attention today as Jacky Turano from The Jeremiah Project inspired us and drew attention to homelessness in Hawkesbury and beyond.

Imagine sleeping rough on a cold winter night with an empty stomach, no money and feeling like you had no future.

For many that is their reality and that’s why this run today was so important.

The run was from Parramatta to Vineyard and our 2025 Hawkesbury Woman of the Year made it to the finish line wearing a big smile, as we all cheered her on.

I’m very proud of you Jacky!

Thank you for coming out and cheering our runners on 🏃🏃‍♀️ it was a great day, with a huge turnout. Your support is always appreciated Robyn Preston MP 🫶

What an amazing effort 💐

Congratulations to everyone who ran. Fantastic effort by everyone. So well organised and the atmosphere was amazing. 👏👏

At the Anzac Memorial, Hyde Park, I attended the 19th annual Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Veterans Commemoration Service.

A sombre tribute and a solemn reminder of our history as we honoured former and current Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander veterans.

Such an important ceremony that had students attending from schools in New South Wales and Victoria.

I was honoured to speak with Harry Allie AM BEM.

It was a fitting occasion which was charged with raw emotion, great respect and time for reflection.

To our veterans, I say -
Thank you for your service.

WILLIAM TURNS 100!

It’s not every day that I have the privilege of wishing one of Hawkesbury’s centenarians a Happy Birthday, so it was especially awesome to extend my good wishes to William.

William’s Mum and Dad emigrated to Australia from the UK.

William had an earth moving business for many years in the Castlereagh area and I found out that one of his favourite songs was one my Nan taught me - ‘Good Night Irene’!

Together we sang the melody which brought a smile to his face and mine.

Happy 100th Birthday William!Rumour has it that you had a wild party with the family on the weekend!

Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👍

A big crowd came together recently to celebrate OZ Arab Media’s third annual gala dinner.

Connecting and keeping Arabic speaking Australians up to date with news, cultural happenings and business activities is essential.

Recognising top businesses and non government organisations for their contribution to the community was also a highlight of the evening.

Great to be with many Members of Parliament, Councillors, professionals, community leaders and not-for-profit organisations.

Great you've got old Damien Tudehope there good stuff

Thank you for joining us!

Was glad to see you again Robyn Preston MP

A wonderful event for OZ Arab Media Robyn Preston MP, it was great to see you and so many from the Liberal team on the evening

Today at the Cenotaph in Martin Place, Sydney we remembered the Bomber Command with a commemorative service and a ceremonial parade.

There were many special guests including the Governor of New South Wales the Hon. Margaret Beazley AC, KC senior RAAF personnel, veterans and Joy, a war widow, who at 97 years of age, still insists on attending to pay her respects.

Ten thousand Australians served in Bomber Command during World War II with over four thousand one hundred paying the ultimate sacrifice.

Today we remembered them.

Lest we forget.

There are 70K people living below the Warragamba Dam wall that need to be protected.

Families, businesses, homes, farms, livestock, hospitals, roads, rail, parks and community centres are all impacted when flood waters takeover.

Robyn Preston MP where is our flood resilient Richmond bridge? The one you and your predecessor have been promising for the last 5 state elections while being in government for most of that time!!

Agree Janet..look at the price the community pays for constant disaster recoveries ..And yes divert excess water to where it's actually needed. Seriously what is it with all these short term thinkers??? Grrr

It’s the Hawkesbury get used to it or move away

Look we don't have to live here we choose 2 so don't complain when it floods

Don’t build on our floodplains, develop better evacuation routes, make Warragamba a mitigation dam and build another desalination plant for Sydney’s water supply. That’s what the experts tell us.k

The Hawkesbury towns and surrounding suburbs are built on flood plains. Have been since day dot. Floods, like drought, goes in cycles. Always has, always will. The sensible thing for Government to do, is build further dams upstream and downstream. Put pipelines in out to western areas in the State, with pumping stations to pump excess water to these areas when they need water. The current dam is Sydney's main water supply, Sydney is growing, not just in area, but also population. The current dam was built as a water storage only dam. Structurally, it can not be used as a flood mitigation dam. Raise the wall and structurally convert it to a flood mitigation dam, but also build dams upstream, downstream and put pipelines in to pump water to areas that need it,when they need it. Yes, it will cost $BILLIONS, Government, both State and Federal, are wasting $BILLIONS on irrelevant things now. What price do you put on human life and lively hoods?

Who’s angry. What a load of rubbish

I’d expect local representatives to be sharing safety and awareness information. Poor attempts at divisive ‘comment’ don’t reflect well on you during times of flood events and when people in your electorate are still isolated by floodwaters in local communities. I’d personally love to see you advocate for the recommendations on the Macdonald Valley flood study that was supported by Dom / you in 2018/9 and finally completed by Council.

Stupidity reigns again. A flood mitigation dam will not work here. The studies have been done, please stop giving false hope to those working and living in the flood plains. And please, stop developing on the flood plains.
