    209 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 5 May 2011 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Suspension of Standing and Sessional Orders: Bills Mr BRAD HAZZARD (Wakehurst—Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, and Minister Assisting the Premier on Infrastructure NSW) [10.00 a.m.]: I move: That standing and sessional orders be suspended to permit the passage through all remaining stages at this sitting of the Health Services Amendment (Local Health Districts and Boards) Bill 2011. As I indicated yesterday, in this first week of the parliamentary sittings, reluctantly and regrettably it will be necessary for me to move suspension of standing orders on a number of occasions in order to provide appropriate work for this House and to make sure that bills that have been dealt with by this House are available to be dealt with by the Legislative Council. I notified the Opposition last evening and this morning of this situation. By way of confirmation, I indicate to the Opposition formally that, all things being equal—and at the moment it is a moving feast—for the appropriate management of the House at approximately 11.30 a.m. debate on the Health Services Amendment (Local Health Districts and Boards) Bill will be interrupted and the House will deal with the Work Health and Safety Bill and the Occupational Health and Safety Amendment Bill, which are cognate bills. Depending on the number of Government and Opposition speakers, the House should be able to conclude those bills and send them to the upper House.

    NATURAL AREAS MEDIA ARCHIVE: 2007-14 Since TEC was establishment in 1972 our campaigners have worked tirelessly to protect the natural environment. The unique ecosystems which evolved over millenia across the Australian continent, including those that have survived European settlement and the introduction of Northern hemisphere agricultural practices, continue to come under threat from human activities and practices. TEC's goal is to reduce the impact of these activities to preserve the natural environment and all its processes so that it continues to function as a haven for a diverse multitude of flora and fauna, while providing clean air and water for everyone Latest News New native vegetation codes a threat to biodiversity and economy • • Created on Wednesday, 26 November 2014 16:06 New 'self-assessable' codes for clearing native vegetation in NSW will increase the risk of vulnerable plant and animal species becoming extinct and undermine efforts to control soil erosion and salinity. The new codes relax controls on thinning native vegetation, removal paddock trees and permit removal of 'invasive' native scrub using highly destructive techniques such as chain clearing and blade ploughing. TEC Director Mr Jeff Angel said "The Native Vegetation Act 1993 was introduced to stop broadscale land clearing that was driving native plants and animals to extinction and causing soil erosion and salinisation. Relaxing controls on clearing will undermine a decade of effort to repair environmental damage". The new codes have been introduced in response to claims by the NSW Farmers Association that clearing controls have constrained agriculture and reduced farm profits. However, a recent report by the Australia Institute has revealed that the Native Vegetation Act has had a negligible impact on agriculture in NSW with weather and commodity prices the major influence on farming profits.

Cities are a drain on resources, they create pollution which extends over vast areas, and without careful management they degrade and often destroy biodiversity.

    9661 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Friday 29 August 2008 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Richard Torbay) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Notices of Motions General Business Notices of Motions (General Notices) given. CHILD PROTECTION (OFFENDERS REGISTRATION) AMENDMENT BILL 2008 Bill introduced on motion by Ms Tanya Gadiel, on behalf of Mr David Campbell. Agreement in Principle Ms TANYA GADIEL (Parramatta—Parliamentary Secretary) [10.04 a.m.]: I move: That this bill be now agreed to in principle. I am pleased to introduce the Child Protection (Offenders Registration) Amendment Bill 2008. This bill amends the Child Protection (Offenders Registration) Act 2000 to allow for freer exchange of information between agencies involved in child protection. The bill introduces an exemption from the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998 and the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 to facilitate the management of high-risk offenders across multiple agencies through the child protection watch team. The child protection watch team commenced on a trial basis in south-west Sydney in September 2004 after a 2003 election commitment by this Government to establish multiagency child protection watch teams to manage high-risk offenders at a local level. However, the trial did not become fully operational until April 2005 after issues relating to the exchange of information between human services and law enforcement agencies had been resolved. The team consists of representatives from the New South Wales Police Force, the Department of Corrective Services, the Department of Juvenile Justice, the Department of Community Services, the Department of Health, the Department of Housing, the Department of Ageing, Disability and Home Care, and the Department of Education and Training.
