The dinner
was generously sponsored by the Assyrian Australian Association Nineveh Club
and organised by Mr. Andrew Rohan, the Liberal Party’s candidate for the
state seat of Smithfield at the upcoming state election on the 24th
of March 2006.
Andrew took the opportunity to
explain why he nominated to run in the next state election as the candidate
for Smithfield. “… Over the past 12 years, I have
witnessed essential services in Smithfield such as law & order, health,
education and transport collapse” Said Mr. Rohan.
Andrew told
those in attendance that this was a direct result of the vandalism and
miss-management of the state’s economy by the Carr/Iemma Government and that
as “a concerned citizen” he wanted to put NSW back in front and once again
give the people of Smithfield the voice they deserved in the peoples
parliament of NSW.
Andrew committed himself to:
-
Making housing more
affordable for young families by increasing the First Home Owners Grant
from $7,000, to $10,000;
At the dinner Mr. Debnam also
outlined his vision for NSW and how he would work with businesses in western
Sydney to develop the appropriate policies to service the wants and needs of
this important region.
The Hon. Peter Debnam MP
Leader of the NSW Opposition
