On Saturday we saw democracy in action in the best possible way. I observed polite, reasonable conversations and behaviour between volunteers and voters. Thank you to all the volunteers who dedicated hours of their time to have conversations at stations, mobile offices and train stations, especially during pre-poll and last Saturday's election day. Because of your efforts, New South Wales now has a Labor government which will deliver on the public services that residents have been crying out for.

I'm confident that the election of a Minns Labor government will mean the residents and communities of south-west Sydney, especially those in the electorate of Werriwa, will finally see proper planning and delivery of the infrastructure they need to work and learn in our community: a cap on tolls to help ease the cost-of-living pressures, more certainty for teachers and schools, and, more importantly, a lift at Macquarie Fields. It will be a change for the better.

I look forward to working with all the elected members to deliver for our community. I congratulate Anoulack Chanthivong, the member for Macquarie Fields, and Greg Warren, the member for Campbelltown, for their re-election. I also congratulate the new members Charishma Kaliyanda, Sally Quinnell and Nathan Hagarty—fingers crossed for Mick Maroney in Holsworthy, which is still too close to call. Thank you for all the work that you do, and thank you again to our volunteers.
