Sal El Kheir
Candidate for the Auburn electorate
Auburn NSW Australia 1928
Candidate for the Auburn Electorate
Sal El Kheir was born in Sydney to migrant parents and raised with the values of hard work, service and responsibility. For more than twenty years, he worked at Woolworths, learning firsthand the pressures faced by ordinary families trying to keep their homes running, raise their children and build a future with dignity. Alongside his working life, Sal has supported families through community outreach programs, giving his time to those who needed practical help, connection and care.
Sal is now standing to represent the people of Auburn because the community deserves more than neglect, excuses and decisions made over its head. Auburn is a hardworking, young and diverse electorate, yet too many residents are being left behind. Below, I have outlined why I am running for the Auburn seat.
Carnarvon Gold Course
One of the area’s important recreational and green spaces, Carnarvon Golf Course, remains under threat from proposals to convert it into cemetery land, with the club itself stating that although the lease is secure until 2035, the long-term future of the site remains uncertain.
Education
Cumberland’s Year 12 completion rate sits below Greater Sydney, while parts of Auburn perform lower again, with part of Auburn recorded at 58.9 per cent of people aged over 15 having completed Year 12 or equivalent in 2021.
Cost of living
Families are facing pressure from housing, cost of living and access to services, while older research on Auburn identified serious transport disadvantage across the former Auburn LGA.
