What an incredible effort - thank you we could not have done this without our wonderful volunteers. Their kindness, generosity, and unwavering support have meant the world.
They gave their time, energy, and spirit without hesitation. They showed up, again and again, and reminded us all what community, courage, and hope look like in action.
They were the dream team - and together, we became part of something bigger than ourselves.
Thank you for being part of history.

هذا الفيديو مُوَجَّه للجِدَّات والأجداد، الأعمام والعمَّات والأخوال والخالات. الإنتخابات القادمة يوم السبت الثالث من مايو/آيار ستكون تاريخية ونحتاج كل صوت أن يُحسب. صوتك مهم!
يجب أن نتأكد أنك تصوّت بشكل صحيح، وإلا فلن يُحتسب صوتك. إليك بعض الخطوات التي يجب اتباعها:
١. في ورقة الاقتراع الخضراء، ضع الرقم 1 بجانب اسم الدكتور زياد بسيوني، وتأكد من ترقيم باقي المربعات أيضًا، وإلا سيتم إلغاء صوتك.
٢. لا تعرف كيف تُرقم الباقي؟ اسأل أحد متطوعي الدكتور زياد بسيوني عن بطاقة “كيفية التصويت” – سيكونون موجودين في مركز الاقتراع.
٣. إذا أخطأت في الورقة، لا تقلق – اطلب ورقة جديدة من الموظفين هناك.
٤. بالنسبة للورقة البيضاء: اطلب المساعدة من أحد متطوعي الدكتور زياد بسيوني.
٥. مهم جدًا: تأكد من كتابة الأرقام فقط داخل المربعات. لا تضع علامات صح أو خطأ، ولا ترسم أو تكتب أي شيء. إذا فعلت هذا، سيتم إلغاء صوتك.
صوتك مهم جدا! نراكم يوم الانتخابات.

At his medical practice in the heart of Greenacre, Dr Ziad Basyouny has ALWAYS bulk-billed. He knows what the problems are with Medicare, because he`s seen it up close, day in, day out.
The BBC`s Tiffanie Turnbull recently reported:
"inadequate government funding is exacerbating a shortage of critical healthcare workers...
A once-revered universal healthcare system is crumbling at every level, sometimes barely getting by on the sheer willpower of doctors and local communities.
As a result, more and more Australians, regardless of where they live, are delaying or going without the care they need."
It`s going to take more than a bandaid solution to fix it.
