Quotes attributable to Member for Whitlam, Stephen Jones:

“I know local families are doing it tough at the moment. The upcoming Dapto Family Morning is all about fun activities for the kids and bringing our community together with local service providers.

“Our government is delivering significant cost of living support such as energy bill relief and cheaper child care, but it’s also important parents and carers have access to the latest information.

“Being a parent myself, I know looking after a toddler or two is no easy feat. I’m looking forward to hearing from locals about what I can do as their local representative to improve things.

“Dapto is one of the fastest growing regional suburbs in New South Wales, and I can’t think of a better place to hold this event. There’s just one week to go until RSVPs close, so I’m encouraging anyone who wants to attend to get in contact with my office to book their spot.”
