Last Saturday voters in New South Wales elected a Minns Labor government. We saw huge swings in the state seats in my local area: Parramatta, Drummoyne, Strathfield and Auburn. These results would not have been possible without the support and help of the extraordinary volunteers and Labor branch members. For years they have kept the light on the hill shining brightly, because Labor supporters are true believers. They get involved because of their commitment to making our community a better place for all.

I would like to especially thank Greg Davis and Felicity Davis Rafferty. Greg is a retired flood engineer who is committed to ensuring we urgently act on climate change. Felicity works in the higher education sector and wants to make our education system more equitable. During my own election campaign, they stood beside me at the early morning train stations and at prepoll, and they helped me put up posters. They made me believe it was possible to win.

They were there again for Julia Little, the Labor candidate for Drummoyne. Their passion, values, commitment and care for our local community have inspired and driven me. I am grateful to them and all of the true believers, who are the backbone of our great movement. Thanks to Greg and Felicity for your continuous and unwavering support. I will not let you down.
