  • Inaugural Speech of the Honourable Ben Franklin
    INAUGURAL SPEECH OF THE HONOURABLE BEN FRANKLIN The Hon. BEN FRANKLIN [3.36 p.m.] (Inaugural Speech): Today I speak in the Address- in-Reply debate to the Governor's Speech formally opening the Fifty-sixth Parliament of New South Wales. I do so noting that we are meeting today on the traditional lands of the Gadigal people. I acknowledge them as custodians and traditional owners of this land and I extend my respect to their elders, past and present. Mr President, in the Governor's address last week he implored us to: ... remember that [we] are here to speak for [our] community and it is their interests that come first. Although we will be on differing sides of many debates, as long as we diligently seek to honestly reflect the wishes of our communities every one of us will have fulfilled that role. I stand here as a passionate advocate for representative democracy and I believe that the many and varied voices that sit here in this Chamber are an absolute validation of that ideal. I am particularly delighted to be entering this place with three good friends from three different parties: Scott Farlow, a former work colleague and now great mate who is one of the most decent and honourable people I know; the irrepressible Bronnie Taylor who is clearly The Nationals yin to my yang; and Courtney Houssos, who, along with her husband, George, has been a good friend for many years—although that friendship was not quite strong enough to stop The Nationals smiting Country Labor from the electoral landscape at this election and many more to come.

  • I Care for Palliative Care. Our Stories
    I Care for Palliative Care. Our stories. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people should be aware that this document contains images and names of people who have passed away. Our goal. Our goal is to ensure that every person with a life-limiting cancer who needs specialist palliative care has access to it, when they need it, wherever they live in NSW. The NSW Government can help achieve this by providing funding for: • 10 additional full time palliative physicians, at a minimum • 129 extra full time palliative care nurses • Culturally appropriate specialist palliative care services for Aboriginal people For more information on our I Care for Palliative Care campaign visit canact.com.au/palliative_care Cancer Council NSW 1 From the CEO When our loved ones are diagnosed with a terminal illness they deserve the best possible care and support. Palliative care gives patients and their families the quality time they need to make the most of the life that they have left. It enables them to have positive conversations about where and when they would like to die, when that time comes. But, right now, that’s not always possible. It doesn’t happen because there’s a shortage of specialist palliative care services across NSW. There aren’t enough palliative care doctors and nurses to meet the needs of the community and many Aboriginal people are unable to access culturally appropriate palliative care. I know how important this issue is to the community, and how further action from the NSW Government would be welcomed. Patients, families, doctors and nurses, have begun sharing their personal and professional experiences of palliative care.
