Thank you Andrew (and Wil and Ava!) @thebut

❤️ Thank you Andrew (and Wil and Ava!) @thebutcherscafe

We say farewell after 17 years to a local legend - Andrew from Fairlight Butcher who has decided after a great stint to hang up the apron and hand in the knife 🔪.

Friendly face, epitomised community, generous in heart, time and meat servings! Andrew has earned a bit of time off.

Really appreciated being able to hand over a Community Recognition Statement to Andrew and a chat today with Wil and Ava.

We wish you all the best and thank you for being such a community minded shop in our beautiful part of the world.

A great morning with @northernbeaches_sc Manly at

A great morning with @northernbeaches_sc Manly at @nswparliament 👍

Always love having local students come to Parliament!

Thanks for the questions and chat.

Low altitude. Lacking in political courage. Sad NS

Low altitude. Lacking in political courage. Sad NSW Labor.

No, not the usual comments section after trolls have woken up…just pointing out how NSW has well and truly lost its mojo 2 years into this ALP Government.

Objectively, NSW now ranks as the LAST (only ahead of Northern Territory and ACT) in the CommSec ‘state of the states’ report.

A sad position for Australia’s powerhouse state…it shouldn’t be this way.

NSW Labor campaigned two years ago and here’s three things said they would do:

- Fix our Northern Beaches buses (remember the Bus Taskforce)…finally now we have some new buses on order thanks to solid community outrage and lobbying.

- Fix the Health system (wait times are up, nurses still awaiting wage deal, mental health system under massive pressure)

- Housing affordability…gets worse week by week.

Absolutely agree, our former Government didn’t get everything right and we stuffed up along the way. But we had a strong vision and wanted to deliver for communities across the state.

We don’t need people talking down NSW and complaining about how hard it all is and how there’s no money…we need some courage, vision and a plan!

😬 I’m sure in your own jobs you couldn’t sit there and tell your boss or customers that it was the fault of the person employed two years ago…that’s what NSW Labor do, rear vision mirror blame game every day.

Anyway - there’s plenty of work to be done!
So I’ll get back to it. Buses, school upgrades, road improvements etc… 🚀

Note: 🎥 they really didn’t like me bringing up the crazy plan to rip up @mooreparkgolf ⛳️

DCE…don’t go! LIVE from @nswparliament

🦅 DCE…don’t go! LIVE from @nswparliament

Regardless of his decision, let’s give DCE the respect and love he deserves as a Manly legend.

A bit of jest, maybe the Daly Cherry Evans Corso could be fitting?

Either way, DCE holds a special place in our Manly hearts and he’s a legend that we should cheer on with pride from Fortress Brookie.

Happy birthday to the NSW ALP Govern

🤦‍♂️ Happy birthday to the NSW ALP Government who haven’t built a thing in two years.

Australia needs NSW needs to be firing on all cylinders. Yet after nearly two years in power, the NSW Labor Government appears to have settled on mediocrity as their default position.

They had more than a decade to plan their alternative vision for NSW,…where is the clear plan for NSW from the Labor Government?

When the rest of Australia (bar the socialist state of Victoria) is getting on with reforms and programs to set them up for success, NSW runs the real risk of being left behind in the dust. What results has this Government got to show as we finish up in 2024 and approach the middle of their term?

When NSW goes well, so does Australia…unfortunately we aren’t going so well.

The iconic Beachwatch program is facing the axe 🪓 thanks to lazy NSW Labor…Can you help? 👇🏼

Please be a voice for the ocean and advocate to the NSW Labor Government to continue the Beachwatch program as it is likely to discontinue on 30 June 2025 at many beaches across the Sydney region.

What’s changing? 🌊

In December 2023, the NSW Government advised Sydney councils that they would now need to fund its Beachwatch program or risk losing water quality monitoring in their Local Government Areas.

Why does this matter? 🌊

Discontinuing the Beachwatch Program would remove an essential source of public health information about water quality and beach safety.

What can you do? 🌊

We urge you to support our advocacy by writing to the Labor Minister for the Environment and calling on the NSW Labor Government to:

* retain Beachwatch as a state-funded program
* engage in meaningful consultation with coastal stakeholders to find a sustainable, long-term solution to water quality monitoring.

You’re also encouraged to share this issue with your networks to raise awareness of the threat of Beachwatch discontinuing and the potential impacts on Sydney’s coastal users.

We’ve only got until 30 June 2025

💡 TLDR: Let’s make Manly Town Hall a world class live entertainment venue!

World class acts in Manly - let’s go!

✅ Live music
✅ Theatre
✅ Cinema

A lot of the hard work and planning has been done, but the idea has been put in the too hard basket.

We can revisit the opportunity and turn this building around from being a money pit for Council, to an income generating asset. (Not to mention it’s just a good idea and would deliver great benefits for our community).

Stay tuned…

Then @ayahmanly DELIVERED

💙 Now ➡️ Then @ayahmanly DELIVERED ✅

A community driven vision, now delivering exactly what it set out to do - providing expert level care, compassion and support to young adults and their families who find themselves in need.

The Manly AYAH is the only one it’s kind in the State. Open now for a little over 2 years, more than 200 people have made use of the facility.

Proudly located in our community, it has welcomed people from as far away as Parkes and Bourke - providing a home away from home.

I’m so proud of how our community has embraced the AYAH and there is so much more to do!

Don’t miss out on the upcoming @manlyinflatableboatrace which is back for the first time in years to support the Hospice.

It was a huge effort to get this project funded, built and open - and we can all be so proud of it.
