What a wonderful day Saturday was.  Thank you to the people of Bradfield for showing your support.  I am honoured and humbled to have been elected as your Member for Bradfield.  

For all those who have helped me during the past few weeks and on polling day, a special thank you.  We could not have had this result, without your support and hard work.

Visiting the polling booths during the day with my predecessor, Brendan Nelson, I was reminded of the magnitude of the task ahead.  Brendan was welcomed everywhere he went and the warmth and good wishes he received showed the high regard with which he is held in the community.  It is a daunting task to follow in his footsteps.

However I am eager to take on this challenge.  Throughout the campaign, I said I would be a strong Liberal voice for Bradfield.  Now it will be time to turn that talk into action, on issues including over-development, Hornsby Hospital and against Labor’s growing debt.

Thank you for putting your trust in me.  I look forward to serving the people of Bradfield.
