Federal Member for Paterson Meryl Swanson has been officially sworn into office today as the Governor General opens the 45th Parliament in Canberra.
The former 2NURFM announcer is incredibly honoured to be in Canberra and is excited to find her seat in the chamber and get down to business.
“It is a momentous day for me personally, but it will be good to get down to work after a long campaign and a long recess. I’m looking forward to participating in it and getting some decisions made for the people of Paterson and more broadly, the people of Australia.”
Tomorrow will mark the first day of sitting in Parliament for the new parliamentarians, as legislation starts rolling into the chamber.
