Tesch appointed as disability parliamentary secretary
Member for Gosford Ms Liesl Tesch has been appointed as Parliamentary Secretary for Families and Communities and Parliamentary Secretary for Disability Inclusion.
"It is a privilege to be entrusted with such an important portfolio," said Ms Tesch.
"To say I am excited is an understatement.
"I have had a long discussion with Minister for Families and Communities and Minister for Disability Inclusion Ms Kate Washington, and look forward to working with her.
"Minister Washington has been a champion and a role model in her role as a Shadow Minister.
"I come into this position with a deep friendship and respect for her and am confident I can complement Minister Washington's work.
"As Parliamentary Secretary, I will work to create a more accessible and inclusive state and continue to work on behalf of vulnerable people and communities across New South Wales.
"I campaigned hard to see the Sydney Harbour Bridge be made accessible for the Invictus Games and have continued to ensure the NSW Parliament is accessible.
"Changes like these are what make me so excited to see a more inclusive New South Wales.
"It is just a glimpse that if even the NSW Legislature is still inaccessible, there is still so much work to do."
