Member for Manly, James Griffin has called on the NSW Labor Government to deliver Coalition reforms to make childcare and preschool more affordable and easier to access for the Manly Electorate’s working parents, rather than adding to the struggle caused by Labor’s cost-of-living crisis.

Mr Griffin said the Minns Government should not attempt to use changes to federal childcare subsidies as a smokescreen to short-change NSW parents.

“Even with the Commonwealth subsidies, access to childcare for thousands of families will be better supported with state funding and ripping that away would have a devastating effect on families in the Manly Electorate,” Mr Griffin said.

Shadow Minister for Energy and Climate Change, James Griffin has called on the NSW Labor Government to reconsider energy bill relief for households as energy price rises increase pressures on household budgets.

“From 1 July energy prices in the Manly electorate and across New South Wales increased by around 20%, adding pressure to household budgets already feeling the squeeze under Federal Labor’s cost of living crisis,” Mr Griffin said.

“Half of all NSW households will receive no energy bill relief for seven years under this Labor Government, which dumped the Liberal and Nationals Government’s $250 rebate.”

The Member for Manly said, “A re-elected Coalition Government would have provided every household in NSW with $250 off their energy bills by simply looking for a better deal.

Member for Manly, James Griffin says a NSW Government grant to the Brookvale Arts District is welcome recognition of the local arts scene and a financial boost to its further development.

Mr Griffin said BAD will use the funding to promote two key programs.
