The Speaker read the prayer and acknowledgement of country. [Notices of motions given.] Bills GAS LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (MEDICAL GAS SYSTEMS) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Kevin Anderson, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr KEVIN ANDERSON (Tamworth—Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation) (12:16:12): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. I am proud to introduce the Gas Legislation Amendment (Medical Gas Systems) Bill 2020. The bill delivers on the New South Wales Government's promise to introduce a robust and effective licensing regulatory system for persons who carry out medical gas work. As I said on 18 June on behalf of the Government in opposing the Hon. Mark Buttigieg's private member's bill, nobody wants to see a tragedy repeated like the one we saw at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital. As I undertook then, the Government has taken the steps necessary to provide a strong, robust licensing framework for those persons installing and working on medical gases in New South Wales. To the families of John Ghanem and Amelia Khan, on behalf of the Government I repeat my commitment that we are taking action to ensure no other families will have to endure as they have. The bill forms a key part of the Government's response to licensed work for medical gases that are supplied in medical facilities in New South Wales.

[Notices of motions given.] Private Members' Statements TRIBUTE TO SUPERINTENDENT JULIAN GRIFFITHS Ms ELENI PETINOS (Miranda) (12:13): I rise to discuss and farewell the outgoing commander from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command, Superintendent Julian Griffiths. Our local media has publicised that Superintendent Griffiths has been moved from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command into the St George Police Area Command. Those of us who have had the opportunity to work with the superintendent, and to know him well, are going to miss him dearly. Media reports have not captured that Superintendent Griffiths is a capable and competent commander who has always been dedicated to serving the local community. He has done that in his capacity as a superintendent of both the Sutherland Shire Local Area Command and the merged Sutherland Shire Police Area Command over the past six years. I was recently told a story about Superintendent Griffiths which highlights the depth of his care and the lengths that he has gone to for the community. It is about the recent fires in the western part of the shire, in Menai, Alfords Point and Barden Ridge.

However, ministers are still divided on whether the Premier herself will be leading the team come 2023 while there is also speculation if veteran Liberal minister Brad Hazzard will close the door on an impressive 30-year state political career. While one Macquarie Street source claimed the reshuffle was “imminent”, the majority of ministers believe the end of March made the most sense given it would be after Budget Estimates. One minister is putting money on the days after March 26, the 10-year anniversary of the NSW Coalition’s election victory. “If you have a look at the sitting calendar, the month of April is free to allow the newbies to get on top of their new ministries,” the Minister said. As for who will stay or go, most believe the Premier will formally dump sidelined Sports, Multiculturalism and Veterans minister John Sidoti to create a vacancy. Sidoti, has been under investigation over his property interests by the NSW Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) since September 2019, with no sign of an outcome.

To our utter disgrace this is now the Margaret Tighe situation in Victoria, Tasmania and Queensland with South Australia poised to follow suit after the usual “government inquiry”. Amazingly Sydney has been rocked by large anti-abortion protests in its streets and outside its parliament. Clearly the churches have played a major role in turning out the protestors. The sad reality is that abortions have been widely available in New South Wales for many years – late abortion included. An abortion clinic even operated opposite the NSW Parliament building in Macquarie Street. Many years ago, on enquiring at a Written by Jane Landon.
