Statement on Prue Car
The thoughts of the entire Government are with our colleague and our friend Prue Car as she begins treatment following her breast cancer diagnosis.
I know Prue well. She is a fighter, and I know she will face this challenge with the same determination and grace that she brings to everything she does.
I fully support her decision to take the time she needs to focus on her health and recovery, and I know she will be supported by expert care and the love of her family, friends, and colleagues.
I also echo her important message about early detection and encourage everyone to stay on top of their health checks.
I have asked Courtney Houssos to act as the Minister for Education and Early Learning and the Minister for Western Sydney until Prue returns.
Prue remains as the Deputy Premier of NSW, as we look forward to welcoming her back when she’s ready.
