It was a somber occasion today as we commemorated the sacrifice of the Merchant Navy in WW1 and WW2 and remembered the victims of yesterday’s terrible attack. #LestWeForget

After a challenging weekend for Sydney nothing better symbolises the tenacity, resilience, pride, hope and sorrow of the city than the Opera House honouring those who were caught up in Saturday’s awful attack.

The UK and Australia share so much history but perhaps nowhere is this shared heritage more important than in our military history and sacrifice. Perhaps the most moving service that we join is the Australian War NSW service where we acknowledge those left behind. #LestWeForget

I have been to a number of #ANZAC commemorations at the Kokoda Track Memorial Walkway. This year’s service was perhaps the most poignant with Captain Brickacek from the RAN telling of his time in Afghanistan and his troopers who were killed. #LestWeForget

Inspiring way to start the day with the Aurora Education Foundation launch of their 2024 RISE Impact Report. An amazing initiative that is providing the evidence and methodology to enhance indigenous educational success.

This Yom HaShoah we gathered with NSW Jewish Board of Deputies to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the Holocaust in Hungary. A powerful reminder of the human cost of the Holocaust as people read the names of their family members who had been murdered.

Yesterday we had students from Sir George Norton visit NSW. We were lucky enough to be hosted at NSW Parliament House in both the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council to hear about the important work they do directly from the Speaker, Deputy President and members of both chambers.

Visiting QtopiaSydney offered an opportunity to learn about LGBTQ+ history and culture in Australia and taught me so much. Thank you Elaine and George for showing us around.

It has been a delight to live & work in Sydney. I’ve been lucky enough to do amazing things, work with amazing people and meet some of the most friendly and collegiate Sydneysiders possible. Representing the UK in NSW has been an honour and I leave it in safe hands with Ed Kitt

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. #ArmisticeDay #Remembrance

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

We will remember them.
