25.01.2022 Scott Morrison promised he would get all stranded Australians home by Christmas. It’s another announcement the Prime Minister won’t deliver on. Yet Mathias Cormann is flying around Europe on a government jet to get himself a job while Australians remain stranded. Unbelievable.

24.01.2022 Very pleased to open the Looped Festival at Little Bay to encourage a circular economy and recycling in our community. Great initiative of Seaside Scavenge.

22.01.2022 Catching up with Randwick City FC's Purple Hearts team in Kensington to see their new playing gear and training equipment purchased with the help of Stronger Communities grant funding.

21.01.2022 Happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating today in our community. May the Year of the Ox bring you good health, luck and prosperity.

20.01.2022 Today is #ProbusDay and an opportunity to appreciate the important role our local Probus South Pacific clubs play in bringer older Australians together and keeping up vital social connections.

20.01.2022 At Randwick City Council’s citizenship ceremony to welcome our newest Australian citizens. Congratulations!

19.01.2022 Episode 2 of the Kingsford Smith summer diary. New Years Day run swims at Clovelly.

19.01.2022 The Liberals’ cut to JobKeeper means that from today nearly 30,000 workers in #KingsfordSmith will be even worse off during this Morrison Government recession while over 1.2 million employees in our state will struggle. Why is Scott Morrison risking more jobs in our community now?

18.01.2022 IMPORTANT COVID 19 UPDATE- The NSW Government has announced new restrictions relating to New Years Eve.

18.01.2022 Labor has announced a new policy to provide employment rights for gig economy workers and protections to stop jobs being contracted out for lower wages and conditions. If you are a worker, Labor is on your side.

18.01.2022 The Morrison government is failing our community’s expectation that we do our fair share to cut emissions and combat climate change.

17.01.2022 Prime Minister, why won't you stand up for Qantas workers in your area and across Australia who have been sacked and replaced by workers on lower wages and conditions? Transport Workers Union - TWU

17.01.2022 Our nation must find a way to reduce carbon pollution over the coming decades - only Labor has a plan to do this.

17.01.2022 Delighted to join the mighty Windgap Warriors in Banksmeadow for their end of year presentation. Well done to all!

15.01.2022 Standing in solidarity with Qantas workers at the airline’s head office in Mascot. Why has the Morrison Government abandoned our aviation sector and let Qantas rip off workers? @TWUAus

14.01.2022 Saying thank you to our awesome workers from the aged care sector and proud members of the HSU NSW. You’ve made a huge contribution this year and deserve to be paid fairly for your service to our community.

14.01.2022 A reminder that Local Sporting Champions grants are closing at the end of this month. Follow Sport Australia for more details about grants of up to $700 for our talented young athletes in Kingsford Smith. sportaus.gov.au/grants_and_funding/local_sporting_champions

13.01.2022 Checking out the world leading solar research at UNSW Centre for Advanced Photovoltaics with Labor’s Energy spokesman Chris Bowen. I am very proud of the groundbreaking renewable energy research that is taking place in our community & delivering quality jobs now. @chrisbowenmp @unsw

13.01.2022 We will remember them. Remembrance Day at the National War Memorial.

13.01.2022 Another day, another pork barrel from the Liberals. This time it is public safety funding. There is no taxpayer funded program they won’t rort for their own political purpose. https://www.smh.com.au//dutton-diverted-grant-money-to-han

11.01.2022 Happy New Year from our Federal Member for Kingsford Smith Matt Thistlethwaite MP

11.01.2022 Meet Harry. Fed up with so much plastic in our oceans Harry and his dad established Good Citizen to recycle plastic waste into sunglasses. They are making such a difference that Harry addressed the United Nations this year to show we can have a sustainable future.

10.01.2022 Joining the Step Out Speak Out Walk at High Cross Park in Randwick as we call for an end to violence against women in our community. #stepoutspeakout2020

10.01.2022 What happened to Qantas? Our national carrier used to embody the great Australian value of a fair day's pay for a fair day's work. Now they are contracting out workers' jobs, being busted for wage theft and the Morrison Government stands by and does nothing. @TWUAus

09.01.2022 I am totally opposed to any attempt to remove the curfew or lift the movements cap at Sydney Airport and I will fight any attempts by the Liberals to lift them. www.skynews.com.au/details/_6196169690001

08.01.2022 On National Police Remembrance Day we honour and remember officers who died in the line of duty. We thank you for your service to our community and will never forget you. #NPRD2020 Police Association of NSW

07.01.2022 Thanking the volunteers from the B'nai B'rith Courage to Care NSW organisation in Kensington for their work in helping individuals to stand up to prejudice.

06.01.2022 Port Botany is already one of the most polluted areas in Australia, we don’t need a massive incinerator built in Matraville to spew even more damaging emissions over our community. Please sign our petition and help say ‘No Matraville incinerator’! mattthistlethwaite.com.au//stop-the-matraville-incinerator/

02.01.2022 Susan Ryan was a great friend and mentor. She was a champion for equality, women’s rights and Labor values, but most importantly she was just a lovely person. She will be sadly missed in our community. RIP Susan.

02.01.2022 Celebrating the inauguration of the Botany Randwick Rotary club. Two great clubs and their volunteers coming together to help others in our community.

01.01.2022 Labor has announced a major policy to make child care cheaper and help working families. Fees have gone up by 36 per cent since the Coalition was elected in 2013, but Scott Morrison isn’t making it easier for families to get ahead. Find out more about our policy here: alp.org.au/policies/women_economic_recovery

01.01.2022 At B'nai B'rith Courage to Care NSW in Kensington to hear about the great work their volunteers are doing teaching anti-discrimination with the support of a Kingsford Smith Volunteers Grant.
