    4794 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 23 November 2006 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Joseph Aquilina) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. Mr SPEAKER: I acknowledge the Gadigal clan of the Eora nation and its elders and thank them for their custodianship of country. SEASONAL FELICITATIONS Mr DAVID CAMPBELL (Keira—Minister for Water Utilities, Minister for Small Business, Minister for Regional Development, and Minister for the Illawarra) [10.00 a.m.]: I move: That the House take note of Christmas felicitations. Mr Speaker, I take this opportunity to wish you and yours the very best for this festive season and thank you for your efforts in the Chair. I have said this to you privately and I say it now in the House that I believe yours is sometimes a very lonely task and a very challenging task in keeping the Opposition—and, from time to time, the Government—in some sense of order. I am confident I can say on this occasion on behalf of the whole House that we appreciate your efforts in your role as Speaker. Honourable members know that my appointment as Leader of the House has been recent and, to this point, brief. I appreciate the support and encouragement that many people have given me, but none more so than the Government Whips, Gerard Martin and Alan Ashton. They have supported me in my role as Leader of the House and they have worked very hard throughout the year on behalf of the Government to make sure members understand the time constraints and issues in the House.

    5437 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 20 November 2003 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Joseph Aquilina) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. QUARANTINE STATION PRESERVATION TRUST BILL Bill received and read a first time. Second reading ordered to stand as an order of the day. Mr SPEAKER: I have been advised that the honourable member for The Hills will have the carriage of the bill in this House. ROADS AMENDMENT (TRANSFER OF CROWN ROADS) BILL Bill introduced and read a first time. Second Reading Mr GEORGE SOURIS (Upper Hunter) [10.04 a.m.]: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. It is a great pleasure to introduce this bill, which has a history. First, it is identical to a bill I proposed in 1995. That bill arose as a result of the inability of local government to find meaningful insurance for Crown roads. The Government of the day—the current Government—opposed that bill, but made a commitment to undertake significant consultation with the industry and to set up a task force and a process. Unfortunately, nothing transpired. Crown roads can still be forced onto local government, creating an unfunded mandate whereby the ratepayers can be responsible for their upgrade and/or maintenance. The issue arose from two cases. The first related to Cassels Road in the shire of Singleton, which the Department of Lands forced onto the Singleton Shire Council without consultation and without any form of compensation to cover the capital requirements of the road and its ongoing maintenance.

    TurnNumber Legislative Assembly Page 1 Turn001 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Tuesday, 31 May 2016 The SPEAKER (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 12:00. The SPEAKER read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. Visitors VISITORS Turn002 The SPEAKER: I welcome to the Speaker's gallery Mr Paul Middleton, President, Albion Park Chamber of Commerce, guest of the member for Kiama. Turn003 Private Members' Statements MOTOR VEHICLE REPAIR INDUSTRY Mr RAY WILLIAMS (Castle Hill) (12:11): I have spoken many times in this House of my long association with the motor vehicle repair industry. There are many motor vehicle repair businesses located within the Castle Hill electorate, all eagerly awaiting important amendments to legislation relating to this industry which will be debated in this Chamber later this year. On Friday 13 May this year I had the great pleasure of attending the Future Skills Forum and Innovation Expo and the opening of 3M's Automotive Aftermarket training centre in Blacktown in Western Sydney in support of this industry. The expo was a joint effort to help jumpstart the automotive industry by stimulating industry growth and creating new job opportunities. The highlight of the day was the pledging of more than 100 jobs from businesses to encourage young people into the industry. Greg Preston, Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Association of Progressive Repairers, who organised the event, summed up the industry's situation by saying, "Our industry is in a crisis, with a massive shortage of skilled tradespeople. The ageing workforce, their likely exit from the industry in the next five years and the lack of new blood entering is a reality the industry must come to grips with now and plan to overcome." The good news is there is no shortage of groups and organisations setting up and making a difference, many of whom were in attendance on the day.
