FAIRFIELD state Labor MPGuy Zangari has been ap-pointed the new shadowminister for citizenship andcommunities following lastweek’s reshuffle.

Mr Zangari, the son ofItalian migrants, said theappointment by oppositionleader John Robertson‘‘made sense’’, given Fair-field was one of the state’smost ethnically diverseelectorates.

‘‘First and foremost I willalways have Fairfield as mypriority because those arethe people who elected metheir member of parlia-ment,’’ he said.

‘‘My job will be very sim-ple: to ensure that Labordevelops policies that helpmigrant communities meettheir aspirations in life.

‘‘As the new shadow min-ister, my door is open toevery migrant communityin NSW.’’

Mr Zangari said the NSWgovernment’s cuts to healthand education spending‘‘had gone down particu-larly bad in migrant com-munities’’.

‘‘So many people came toNSW in the first place be-cause of our world-class hos-pitals and schools,’’ he said.

Mr Zangari was amongfour MPs elevated to thefront bench after the resig-nation of roads spokesmanRobert Furolo.

‘‘The eldest son of mi-grant parents, Guy is aproduct of multiculturalAustralia and I know he’llbe a hard-working andproud shadow minister forcitizenship and communi-ties,’’ Mr Robertson said.
