Walt Secord congratulates Dave Sharma
NSW Parliamentary Friends of Israel deputy chair and NSW Labor frontbencher Walt Secord has officially congratulated newly elected Liberal Federal MP for Wentworth, Dave Sharma on his victory in the weekend election.
He also paid tribute to outgoing Wentworth MP Dr Kerryn Phelps and her spouse, Jackie Stricker-Phelps.
While Mr Secord said he and Mr Sharma may diverge on some key policy areas, they were united when it came to issues affecting the NSW Jewish community and the State of Israel.
“I congratulate Dave Sharma on his election. I also commit to providing my bipartisan support to him when it comes to working on issues affecting the Jewish community such as communal security and support for the State of Israel.”
“I look forward to seeing him at hundreds of Jewish functions over the next few years. I have already bumped into him at the Big Kitchen and at the recent Zionist Council of NSW Yom Ha’atzmaut celebrations.”
“In short, I extend a hearty mazel tov to Dave Sharma and his family and wish them well in his endeavours as a new parliamentarian.”
