On 21 November, I had the pleasure of visiting the Panania senior citizens' group at the Panania Senior Citizens' Centre. As always, it was a fantastic visit, chatting with some of the ladies who were on a break from their Tai Chi class and talking about local issues in the Panania region and the broader East Hills region. One of the issues that many residents are concerned about, as I am, is the extraordinarily unacceptable proposals of Bankstown council in relation to high-rise development in the Panania area. That is an issue on which I will continue to represent the views of our community. I do thank Wyn Byrnes and everyone who was at that centre on that day. Wyn has been involved with the senior citizens' centre for many years and puts a great deal back into our community.

On 4 November I had the pleasure of attending the All Starz Performing Arts Studio in Peakhurst. This is one of the top dance schools anywhere, located in New South Wales. Hundreds of students come from all over Sydney to attend, from preschoolers right through to adult dancers. It was great to visit and present the Banks dance awards at All Starz in Peakhurst. Thank you to Belinda Agostino and Priscilla Severino.
