The new Member for Robertson has been officially sworn in at the opening of the 47th Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia in Canberra on Tuesday July 26, 2022.
Member for Robertson, Dr Gordon Reid MP says that he is honoured and humbled to have been officially sworn in at the start of the new federal parliamentary term.
“I am honoured by the privilege of representing the people of Robertson in the 47th Parliament of Australia. It is also exciting to think about the positive contributions I can make, as part of the new Albanese Labor Government, for the community I was born in, raised in and now represent in our nation’s parliament.” Dr Reid said.
“I look forward to getting down to the business of helping secure a better future for the people of the Central Coast and delivering on the election promises that I made during the recent federal election.” Dr Reid said.
Dr Gordon Reid MP is the 15th Member to represent the Federal Division of Robertson, which was named after Sir John Robertson, the fifth Premier of New South Wales. Dr Reid is the 7th Member from the Australian Labor Party to represent the division.
“I was also pleased to have in the gallery watching the swearing in ceremony, my beautiful partner Shaylee, my supportive mother and father, Leanne and Bryan, along with my sister, Grace. It meant so much to me to have my family watching and be by my side during this historic occasion”. Dr Reid said.
“As a proud Wiradjuri man, the commitment of our new government to implement the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full, is something I am extremely proud of.” Said Dr Reid.
Dr Reid has re-emphasised the policy commitments of the new Albanese Labor Government.
“The new Albanese Labor Government is committed to delivering on the better future Australians voted for and embraced at the federal election. Protecting and strengthening Medicare, making childcare cheaper, investing in and supporting renewable energy and ensuring there are secure and sustainable jobs on the Central Coast”. Dr Reid said.
“It has been an amazingly insightful experience meeting with my new parliamentary colleagues from around our great nation and seeing the internal workings of the federal parliament”. Said Dr Reid.
“I would like to congratulate the new Speaker and Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives for the 47th Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia, Mr Milton Dick MP and Ms Sharon Claydon, who will both make exceptional Speakers”. Dr Reid said.
