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

Inquiry Into the Provision of Education to Students with Disabilities or Special Needs

 As the Chair of this Inquiry, I would like to thank the hundreds of parents, teachers and schools who participated and provided submissions to the committee. The inquiry identified significant inadequacies in the NSW education system for students with disabilities and special needs. Parents and teachers spend an enormous amount of time, energy and money advocating for their children with disabilities or special needs to receive the same educational opportunities as other children and its about time their voices were heard. For more information on the inquiry and the final report, click here.

 
NSW Liberals & Nationals Oppose Tillegra Dam

The NSW Liberals and Nationals will oppose the construction of Tillegra Dam near Dungog in NSW. Since Tillegra Dam was first announced, as a diversion from the NSW Labor Government's political scandals, Hunter residents have raised their concerns about the project many times with me. The project was never part of the State Plan and was never about securing water for the region. Hunter residents would be paying more for their water for a dam that we don’t need and this is on top of increasing prices for electricity, vehicle registration costs and property tax.

 
NSW Liberals/Nationals Budget Reply - A Plan For NSW

 Leader of the NSW Opposition Barry O'Farrell has given his budget reply speech to Parliament, outlining several key policy areas to take NSW forward. In Government, the NSW Liberals and Nationals will establish Restart NSW, a capital fund to build essential infrastructure including public transport, roads and infrastructure to support people working in front line services. The fund will have a specific mandate to grow economic productivity in NSW and a clear goal of listing NSW economic growth to above the national average.
