State MP Janelle Saffin has been in politics – state and federal – for more than 30 years.
In the seat of Lismore, she is well known and after the 2022 floods she was given the role of NSW parliamentary secretary for Disaster Recovery.
Yesterday, March 17, Ms Saffin was appointed to the State Government cabinet as Minister for Recovery, the Minister for Small Business, and the Minister for the North Coast.
Janelle will no longer be parliamentary secretary for Disaster Recovery.
Premier Chris Minns said Ms Saffin is one of the most experienced MPs in State Government.
“She has been instrumental in helping the Lismore community and surrounds recover from the 2022 floods as well as the recent impacts from ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred,” Mr Minns said.
“She has intimate knowledge of the workings of the NSW Reconstruction Authority and will be a very strong advocate and voice for the North Coast as well as small businesses across the state.”
Congratulations to Minister Saffin.
