Mayor Ned Mannoun thanks NSW Multiculturalism Minister Steve Kamper and Minister Anoulack Chanthivong for meeting with the leaders of the Australian Islamic House Masjid at Edmondson Park to discuss how the state government can assist following the recent threats. It was sad to hear how members of the local Islamic community have endured years of Islamophobic comment, culminating in the threat made over the last 24 hours. The State Government has promised more will be done to protect faith communities from hate speech, and the Islamic community was grateful that their concerns were heard. Mayor Mannoun also thanks Local MPs Charishma Kaliyanda, Nathan Hagarty and Tina Ayyad as well as Shadow Multiculturalism Minister Mark Coure for coming and showing support for our community.

Liverpool City Council is clamping down on abandoned trolleys, which are cluttering the city’s streets, parks and rivers. Mayor Ned Mannoun is calling for stronger state laws, as current legislation makes it difficult for Councils to immediately impound all abandoned trolleys. Mayor Mannoun says trolleys are being randomly dumped across Sydney, and the owners are not doing enough to retrieve them. Liverpool Council is now impounding as many dumped trolleys as possible and will be issuing fines to their owners who fail to act. At this stage, Council is not imposing fines, this will happen if the problem isn’t resolved. All impounded trolleys that are not reclaimed will be fed through the Council’s scrap metal shredder.
