Dear Community friend,
I informed you earlier that I have been preselected by the Labor Party to lead the Labor ticket for the forthcoming council election on 8 September. This is the first time a first generation migrant from the Indian Sub-continental heritage has been selected to ‘Lead’ a ‘Council ticket’ by a major ‘Political Party’ in Australia, to my knowledge.
A picture of the members of my team is below. The other members are John Townsend, Daniel Bott, Vasantha Puvanendiranathan, Quang Lam and Dr. Susan Smythe. I would like to request you to forward this picture and the message of this nomination to all your friends who live in Strathfield Council area.
This pre-selection is a very significant challenge for our community and I shall need a lot of help and support in terms of volunteers and resources to make a success of this challenge for our community.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like to extend any help and support.
Working together we can make Australia an increasingly better place for all Australians. Working together we can build an Australia where every child can have increasigly more access to opportunities to become the best they can be, regardless of any disadvantage that birth or social circumstances might impose on them and where mutual respect for each other can continue to increase.
Best regards.
Yours most sincerely,
Raj Datta
