People living in our Electorate of Lismore now can take their own virtual tour of the NSW Parliament, learning about its rich history and democratic processes.
NSW Labor has pledged to boost funding for 25 extra counsellors for the NSW Sexual Violence Helpline if it wins Government in 2023, a move welcomed by Janelle Saffin MP.
Janelle Saffin MP has welcomed as a major win for farmers the NSW Labor Opposition’s pledge to establish an independent Biosecurity Commission with real teeth and resources.
Janelle Saffin MP is seeking a formal review of two guidelines under the $75,000 Primary Producer Grant which she says is making it harder for farmers to access much-needed financial assistance after natural disasters such as floods, bushfires and storm events.
Janelle Saffin MP has hailed Lismore Square’s reopening as a great example of how the city can ‘build back better’ from catastrophic flooding in late February this year.
Janelle Saffin MP is encouraging not-for-profit organisations, schools and local councils to apply for between $10,000 and $200,000 under the NSW Government’s Clubgrants Category 3 Infrastructure Grants program. Applications close on 18 July 2022.
Janelle Saffin MP again has written to NSW Treasurer Matt Kean asking him to allocate $7.5 million from the NSW Budget to enable 66 new townhouses to be built on flood-free land in Lismore. She says it’s time for the Government to act decisively on the Northern Rivers’ housing crisis, compounded by floods.
Janelle Saffin MP has asked the NSW Government to consider extending its trial of its Washing Machine Replacement Program to include flood-impacted residents and widening its scope to include more white goods retailers.
Janelle Saffin MP from day one advocated for the Northern Rivers Reconstruction Corporation. This powerful regional authority goes to work from Friday and she says the task of ‘building back better’ from the floods demands a strategy, funding and empathy for affected local communities.
Janelle Saffin MP again has gone into bat for more than 230 Norco employees, local dairy farmers and small businesses who rely on the co-operative, calling for a State rescue package to help rebuild its flood-damaged ice-cream factory in South Lismore. The package comprises of extra funding and a holiday from payroll tax.
