After the election of the President and Deputy President in the Legislative Council, nominations for the position of Assistant President were opened today with two nominations received. A ballot was held and the NSW Legislative Council Opposition Whip Shaoquett Moselmane was elected.
The newly elected Assistant President thanked his Labor Party colleagues for their support and expressed gratitude to the other Legislative Council members for their vote of confidence.
