- Councillor Matt Whitman, District 13 Hammonds Plains-St. Margaret's​
"Last night was the most incredible fundraiser that I’ve been at. I have a small understanding of how difficult it is to ‘herd the cats’ and get people to send in the registration forms. But your team, and in my case, I dealt with Basim, was amazing. We had a great time, the Premier was typically amazing and people were in a fun mood. I think having protesters helps us understand that we are always going to have opposition to ‘good government’. Well done. A record night!" ...

"Basim’s talent, hard work and dedication were a key factor in the successful campaign we ran. He leads our fundraising efforts and was highly effective in engaging with donors and securing the funding we needed to launch a multi-faceted, highly professional campaign. I am pleased to recommend Basim for any corporate fundraising endeavour. He will be a valuable asset to any project. I was most impressed with the fact that his contacts not only helped fund this particular project but that we created relationships with these individuals to enable us to approach them again for assistance and support in the future." ...
