Member for Albury Justin Clancy will this morning host a visit to Corowa by NSW Leader of the Opposition Mark Speakman. The visit will reaffirm the strong and positive connections that have long existed in the township and discussed the importance of community safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The visit marks the first time a NSW or Federal Government leader has toured Corowa following an upsetting October 12 neo-Nazi demonstration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Leader of the Opposition Mark Speakman said Corowa embodies the best of New South Wales \u2014 where unity triumphs over division, and community strength shines above hate.
\u201cI\u2019m committed to ensuring that every town and every member of the community feels safe and valued in our state,\u201d Mr Speakman said.
Mr Clancy invited Mr Speakman, the former NSW Attorney General, to visit the historic Murray River town, home to 6000 people, in a show of unity with the Corowa community.
\u201cMark and I will be in Corowa today, standing together with the local community against the recent white supremacist activity. What happened last month is not who we are. The Corowa community we all know and enjoy is jam-packed with genuine, kind, and honest people and it\u2019s a privilege for me to represent this community in my role as the Member for Albury.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis community sticks together when the going gets tough, they\u2019ve experienced natural disasters, COVID border lockdowns, and the recent resurrection of their beloved Corowa-Rutherglen Football Netball Club in the O&M after a few tough years on the paddock.
\u201cI also want to acknowledge the ongoing efforts of the Federation Council and the Corowa Chamber of Commerce in promoting harmony, along with the unity and resilience shown by residents, local businesses, sporting, and community groups. You are all remarkable.
Mr Clancy and Mr Speakman pledged continued support for the Corowa community, reaffirming the NSW Opposition\u2019s commitment to upholding the important values that underpin NSW communities, including trust, respect, collaboration, and inclusivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
