40% of last year's NSW State team going to the Nationals were from our very own Manly Warringah Gymnastic Club in Cromer. An outstanding achievement by a great club not relying on a single cent of Government funding. The Club is growing and needs a new home.

Policy by press release just doesn't work when it comes to energy. I stand for energy security and a properly regulated market.

I joined Nick Dole and Miriam Corowa to talk about the year ahead. We discussed President Trump's immigration policy in the United States, housing affordability in Australian cities and whether or not the Government should be looking at changing the date of Australia Day.

Watch the full interview below.

I will be holding mobile offices across the Northern Beaches to have a chance to meet you. Come along, let me know how I can help you, and what priorities you think your Government should focus on.

Devastating that the Christmas period drowning toll is 18. One drowning in our pools or waterways is one too many. I'm a proud supporter of Kids Alive do the Five. All parents and families please visit Kids Alive do the Five and swim safe this summer.

Hundreds of local athletes have protested against the state of the running track at Narrabeen.

Local Member for Mackellar, Jason Falinski, addressed a public rally of several hundred athletes and parents at the Narrabeen Athletics track on Saturday calling for its urgent upgrade.

Member for Mackellar, Jason Falinski, has criticised the ATO for bringing Northern Beaches small business to a standstill, costing each local small business thousands of dollars a day.

“At the weekend, the ATO website was taken offline for “maintenance” over the weekend. Nearly three business days’ later and the ATO Business Portal, Tax Agent Portal and BAS Agent Portal are all still offline.” Falinski said.

We have been fighting for better connectivity on the Northern Beaches for a long time.

Local Member for Mackellar, Jason Falinski, and Minister for Communications, the Hon. Mitch Fifield, officially switched on the NBN for Avalon, Bilgola, Palm Beach, Whale Beach, Bilgola, Clareville and parts of Newport in Avalon this morning, making superfast broadband available to more than 8,000 homes and businesses.

“The Australian Government’s National Broadband Network will boost productivity and provide a platform for innovation to ensure the economic and social benefits of the internet are available to every Australian,” Minister Fifield said. “The development of digital technologies has reduced business costs, changed how our children study and learn, and created many more ways to engage socially.”

Jason Falinski added: “we have been fighting for better connectivity on the Northern Beaches for a long time. As at the election the NBN was not available in Mackellar. I have personally pushed to have the roll out accelerated in our area. The NBN represents a vital piece of infrastructure needed to keep our thriving businesses growing, enabling work from home, which will reduce traffic congestion, and for schools to provide a 21^st century education to our children.”

“Since being elected, I have spoken to countless residents and business owners in Mackellar about what bringing connectivity would mean to them. I am very proud to stand here with the Minister today to show you that the Turnbull Government, our Government, is delivering for the Northern Beaches.”
