Welcome

Hi and welcome to my website!

I am the Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Education and Aboriginal Affairs and I first entered the NSW Legislative Council in 2003.

As a former teacher and a community services and child care advocate, I bring a grass roots and personal approach to the issues shared by all residents of NSW and in particular, those in my home area of the Hunter region.

This website contains my media releases, speeches and newsletters, as well as useful links to the NSW Parliament, info on how to write a petition and also contacts in the Liberal Party and the community.

Please take the time to contact me and tell me about the issues that are important to you.

Robyn Parker, MLC
