Consequently the full text of any question will be printed only twice: when notice is given; and, when answered. During any adjournment of two weeks or more a Questions and Answers Paper will be published from time to time containing answers received. 1962 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Wednesday 29 April 2020 Publication of Questions Answer to be lodged by Q & A No. 48 (Including Question Nos 2334 to 2378) 31 March 2020 Q & A No. 49 (Including Question Nos 2379 to 2398) 01 April 2020 Q & A No. 50 (Including Question Nos 2399 to 2488) 02 April 2020 Q & A No. 51 (Including Question Nos 2489 to 2516) 07 April 2020 Q & A No. 52 (Including Question Nos 2517 to 2554) 08 April 2020 Q & A No. 53 (Including Question Nos 2555 to 2638) 09 April 2020 Q & A No. 54 (Including Question Nos 2639 to 2744) 28 April 2020 Q & A No. 55 (Questions—Nil) - 1963 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Wednesday 29 April 2020 25 FEBRUARY 2020 (Paper No. 48) *2334 WILCANNIA DESALINATION FACILITY—Mr Roy Butler asked the Minister for Water, Property and Housing— Will the Government fund the purchase, installation and associated running costs of a desalination facility for the township of Wilcannia? Answer— As a result of recent rainfall in South East Queensland, meaningful flows are currently passing down the Barwon Darling River. These flows have already significantly improved the situation in a number of towns and are expected to benefit more communities along the river to the junction with the Murray. Central Darling Shire Council, the water utility responsible for provision of water to Wilcannia, can source water from the Darting River or groundwater to provide potable water to the community. Following the first flush of water in the Darling River, it is expected that Council will be able to return to their Darling River source for the potable water. The Department of Planning, Industry and Environment will continue to monitor tile situation, with NSW Health and Council, and may choose to implement water quality improvements such as Desalination (Reverse Osmosis) in the future to respond to its water quality risks. *2335 COLLARENEBRI 4WD AMBULANCE—Mr Roy Butler asked the Minister for Health and Medical Research— (1) Why is the Collarenebri 4WD Ambulance being transferred to the Walgett Ambulance Station? (2) Will the Collarenebri Ambulance Station be receiving a replacement 4WD Ambulance? (a) If not, why not? Answer— (1) NSW Ambulance regularly evaluates vehicle locations based on community need. In November 2019, the 4WD ambulance located at Collarenebri was transferred to Walgett ambulance station to assist with the 2019-20 bushfire emergency. The vehicle has remained at Walgett due to recent flooding in the region. The 4WD ambulance may be deployed to incidents in Collarenebri and surrounding communities as required. (2) Yes. *2336 WESTERN LANDS LEASES AT LIGHTNING RIDGE.—Mr Roy Butler asked the Minister for Water, Property and Housing— Considering the response to LA Q0123, will the Deputy Premier honour the commitment he made to the people of Lightning Ridge in June 2019 that the Western Lands Lease rent increase would be pegged at the first year and not the subsequent three years after? Answer— There will be no further rent increases for term residential Western Lands leaseholders for the upcoming financial year. They will be assessed annually. *2337 DUNGOWAN DAM—Mr Roy Butler asked the Minister for Water, Property and Housing— (1) Considering that the development plan has progressed, will the entire 22 gigalitres of capacity, made up of 16 gigalitres of new water and six gigalitres of replacement old storage, be licenced as Tamworth Regional Council (TRC) supply water? (2) What will the volume be of the effective Sustainable Diversion Limit (SDL) or cap diversion, expressed as a reliability factor of the 22 gigalitres of possible storage capacity? (3) How will this long-run diversion be accounted for within the Peel and Namoi water accounting system? (4) How will the cost, which is estimated at $480 million, be recovered from users? (5) What does the Integrated Quantity-Quality Model (IQQM) water modelling and the TRC demand- cycle modelling show as an annual improvement in reliability for TRC, stated in megalitres or gigalitres per annum? Answer— I am advised: 1964 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Wednesday 29 April 2020 (1) Dungowan Dam will increase town water supply for Tamworth by around 7 gigalitre (GL) per annum. (2) The Basin Plan Sustainable Diversion Limit will not change. (3) The diversions will be accounted for within the current state and Basin Plan accounting frameworks. (4) Further consultation with stakeholders will be undertaken before any decision is made about the final funding strategy for the project. (5) The modelling undertaken for the project feasibility study demonstrates that there is an increase in the long-term reliability for Tamworth and other critical water users in the Peel. Further detailed analysis will be undertaken for the development of the Final Business Case. *2338 WAMBELONG BUSHFIRES 2013—Mr Roy Butler asked the Minister for Police and Emergency Services— (1) Will the current review into the recent bushfires in New South Wales include a review of the actions of the National Parks and Wildlife Service during the Wambelong bushfire event that took place in the Warrumbungle National Park on 12 January 2013? (a) If not, why not? Answer— The terms of reference for the NSW Independent Bushfire Inquiry are publicly available at www.nsw.gov.au⁄improving-nsw⁄projects-and-initiatives⁄make-a-submission-to-the-bushfire-inquiry⁄nsw- independent-bushfire-inquiry-terms-of-reference. *2339 DOPPLER RADARS BREWARRINA AND HILLSTON-IVANHOE—Mr Roy Butler asked the Deputy Premier, Minister for Regional New South Wales, Industry and Trade— (1) When will work commence to install the Doppler radars near Brewarrina and Hillston-Ivanhoe, as committed to in the 2019-20 NSW Budget? (a) When will the radars come online? Answer— The Government has committed to funding the construction of three Doppler weather stations for the potential benefit of approximately 170,000 people living in Western New South Wales. Indicative information regarding when the radars will be installed and operational is publicly available, and the Government will provide further updates on the radars as appropriate. *2340 EARLY ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT VIA TELEHEALTH FOR POLICE AND AMBULANCE OFFICERS—Mr Roy Butler asked the Minister for Health and Medical Research— Will consideration be given to extending the Police Ambulance Early Access to Mental Health Assessment via Telehealth program to the Western and Far West Local Health Districts considering the benefits for isolated communities? Answer— Yes. Planning has already been commenced by the Western NSW Local Health District to trial its Mental Health Emergency Care telehealth service in the community. I am advised the service will initially be piloted in Cowra for three months. This will enable police and ambulance paramedics who are responding to a person in an emergency mental health situation to link to a mental health professional via video so that the person can be remotely assessed. *2341 AMBULANCE VEHICLE NUMBERS—Mr Roy Butler asked the Minister for Health and Medical Research— (1) When NSW Ambulance reviews ambulance vehicle numbers, are waiting times due to inter-town call-outs considered as a factor for increasing the number of ambulances stationed in a particular town? (2) What is the method used for reviewing service times? Answer— (1) A range of factors are considered when reviewing NSW Ambulance resources, including the time taken for ambulances to return to station after responding to incidents in other towns. (2) NSW Ambulance provides quarterly activity and performance data to the Bureau of Health 1965 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Wednesday 29 April 2020 Information (BHI). This includes response times. *2343 REGIONAL SENIORS TRAVEL CARD—Mrs Helen Dalton asked the Minister for Regional Transport and Roads— Why are Disability Support Pension recipients and Carer Payment recipients aged over 65 not eligible to receive the regional seniors travel card? Answer— I am advised: Eligibility criteria for the program is available on the Service NSW website. There are no plans to change the eligibility criteria at this time. Carers and those on a disability pension are encouraged to check if they are eligible for existing support programs including the Companion Card, the Taxi Transport Subsidy Scheme and Community Transport. Transport for NSW is currently reviewing the programs which support travel for carers and disability pensioners to ensure their effectiveness in regional New South Wales and to consider if there are ways to improve awareness of such programs. The Government will continue to work to improve access to transport services for those with a disability and their carers across regional New South Wales, including by boosting public transport services in regional areas. *2344 MANDATORY DRUG TESTING PUBLIC HOSPITAL STAFF NEW SOUTH WALES—Mrs Helen Dalton asked the Minister for Health and Medical Research— (1) What is the Mandatory Drug Testing Policy for nurses, doctors and administration staff within all New South Wales public hospitals? (a) When was this policy brought into practice? Answer— (1) and (1) (a) I refer the Member to the NSW Health Code of Conduct. Health practitioners requiring registration to practise in Australia are also bound by registration standards for their profession.

  • Thesis August
    Chapter 1 Introduction Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? Section 1.2: Problems of sex, gender and parliament Section 1.3: Gender and the Parliament, 1995-1999 Section 1.4: Expectations on female MPs Section 1.5: Outline of the thesis Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? The Sydney Morning Herald of 27 August 1925 reported the first speech given by a female Member of Parliament (hereafter MP) in New South Wales. In the Legislative Assembly on the previous day, Millicent Preston-Stanley, Nationalist Party Member for the Eastern Suburbs, created history. According to the Herald: ‘Miss Stanley proceeded to illumine the House with a few little shafts of humour. “For many years”, she said, “I have in this House looked down upon honourable members from above. And I have wondered how so many old women have managed to get here - not only to get here, but to stay here”. The Herald continued: ‘The House figuratively rocked with laughter. Miss Stanley hastened to explain herself. “I am referring”, she said amidst further laughter, “not to the physical age of the old gentlemen in question, but to their mental age, and to that obvious vacuity of mind which characterises the old gentlemen to whom I have referred”. Members obviously could not afford to manifest any deep sense of injury because of a woman’s banter. They laughed instead’. Preston-Stanley’s speech marks an important point in gender politics. It introduced female participation in the Twenty-seventh Parliament. It stands chronologically midway between the introduction of responsible government in the 1850s and the Fifty-first Parliament elected in March 1995.

  • Report on Proceedings
    Report on Proceedings OVERVIEW Sydney Law School’s Constitutional Reform Workshop held in Yangon from 8-10 May, 2013, was, by all accounts, a highly successful event. It dominated Myanmar media in the days following the event, and (re)introduced into the national discourse important discussions regarding, among other things, mechanisms for constitutional change, the future of the military within Myanmar politics, and the nature of federalism as a panacea for ethnic conflict. The workshop was hailed as an exemplary model of a collaborative, country-specific, and locally focused development project. It brought together varied, and politically significant, groups to talk amicably and in good faith about Myanmar’s stable and peaceable transition to constitutional democracy. There was a general agreement across the spectrum of participants that the current constitution (adopted in 2008) has weaknesses and inconsistencies that constitute obstacles 1 to Myanmar's transition to becoming a fully democratic and stable member of the global community. It was clear by the end of the workshop, that the discussions furnished there had cemented the project as an important building block towards improved constitutional governance and accountability in Myanmar. The workshop was a key first step towards deeper reflection over constitutional reform, and created a foundation for further projects of this type to create an ongoing conversation over Myanmar’s transitional trajectory. A diverse and extensive cross section of Myanmar society attended the workshop, including Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and other senior members of the National League for Democracy, as well as key figures within the Union Solidarity and Development Party and ethnic nationalities parties.

  • Introduction 2017, Jakarta, 1 September 2016
    CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS 2ND INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTIONS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA 13-14 JULY 2017 BANGKOK THAILAND CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS 2nd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS INSTITUTION IN SOUTHEAST ASIA 13-14 July 2017 Bangkok Thailand 1 Introduction As independent, state-funded bodies with broad, internationally-endorsed mandates to protect and promote human rights, National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs) serve as a vital bridge between the government and civil society, and play a distinct role in ensuring the effective implementation of international human rights standards at the national level. However, in Southeast Asia, NHRIs find themselves established in transitional or repressive regimes, posing unique obstacles to the promulgation of their mandate. The capacity to investigate human rights violations, to conduct national inquiries or public hearings and to secure remedies for human rights victims of NHRIs in the region of Southeast Asia are often not satisfactory. To address the potentials, challenges and opportunities of NHRIs in the Southeast Asia Region, Asia Centre in collaboration with ASEAN-China International Studies Program, the Lutheran World Federation and with the support from the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy convened the Centre’s 2nd International Conference on “National Human Rights Institutions in Southeast Asia: Challenges of Protection”. It was held at the Centre’s premises in Bangkok, Thailand on 13 and 14 July 2017. Over the course of two days and nine panels, the conference assembled over 29 presenters and 44 participants from across the ASEAN, New Zealand, Nepal, India, the U.S. and the U.K. Two of the six Southeast Asian NHRIs—the Myanmar National Human Rights Commission (MNHRC) and Indonesia National Commission on Human Rights (Komnas HAM)—were in attendance along with a representative from the New Zealand National Human Rights Commission.

  • Legislative Assembly- PROOF Page 1
    Thursday, 22 October 2020 Legislative Assembly- PROOF Page 1 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday, 22 October 2020 The Speaker (The Hon. Jonathan Richard O'Dea) took the chair at 09:30. The Speaker read the prayer and acknowledgement of country. Announcements THOUGHT LEADERSHIP BREAKFAST The SPEAKER: I inform the House that we had two outstanding leaders of Indigenous heritage at our Thought Leadership breakfast this morning. I thank all those members who attended that event. In particular I thank our guest speakers: Tanya Denning-Allman, the director of Indigenous content at SBS, and Benson Saulo, the incoming Consul-General to the United States, based in Houston. I thank both of them and note we will have another event in November. [Notices of motions given.] Bills STRONGER COMMUNITIES LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Mark Speakman, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr MARK SPEAKMAN (Cronulla—Attorney General, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence) (09:46:44): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The Stronger Communities Legislation Amendment (Domestic Violence) Bill 2020 introduces amendments to support procedural improvements and to close gaps in the law that have become apparent. Courts can be a daunting place for victims of domestic and family violence. The processes can be overwhelming. Domestic violence is a complex crime like no other because of the intimate relationships between perpetrators and victims. Those close personal connections intertwine complainants and defendants in ways that maintain a callous grip on victims. This grip can silence reports of abuse, delay reports when victims are brave enough to come forward, and intimidate victims to discontinue cooperating with prosecutions.
