National Party faithfuls from all over the Central West flocked to Parkes last Friday for the official opening of an
electorate office of the Nationals’ Member for Riverina and Deputy Prime Minister, Michael McCormack. “This is a really important day for me and the Central West,” said Michael. “We are here to help, whether you vote for the Nationals or not. Please tell others to pop in.”
The MP said he was in the process of appointing a full-time staff member for the office as he would not be able to be in Parkes all the time. “I will pop in as often as I can.”
Parkes Mayor Ken Keith said it was really important for the community to have access to politicians. “We are really pleased to see you have chosen Parkes for your second office.”
