(Community Recognition Notices, 9 November 2022, Legislative Assembly, NSW Parliament)

On behalf of the Sydney Electorate, I acknowledge the passing of respected Woolloomooloo resident Auntie Selena. Auntie Selena was a long time resident, local community leader and Aboriginal Elder. She was a forthright advocate for the community and a fighter for justice and a fair go. She was especially concerned to make sure that young people in Woolloomooloo have safe access to facilities, services and support including for sport and recreation activities. I worked with Auntie Selena on support for local housing tenants and found her a staunch campaigner to retain and fix up social housing in the precinct. She made sure that decision makers knew about problems and needed to fix them. The Woolloomooloo community will be poorer for the loss of Auntie Selena's passionate activism and community support.
