Western Sydney Community (WSC), officially known as Dai Le & Frank Carbone W.S.C., is an Australian political party founded in 2023 by independent MP Dai Le and Fairfield mayor Frank Carbone. The party plans to contest electorates in the Greater Western Sydney region at the next federal election.[4]
The party was known as the Dai Le & Frank Carbone Network (DLFCN) from its formation in May 2023 until July 2024.[5] Before its establishment, Carbone said that he thought of naming the party "A Western Voice".[6]
