    Tuesday, 4 August 2020 Legislative Assembly- PROOF Page 1 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Tuesday, 4 August 2020 The Speaker (The Hon. Jonathan Richard O'Dea) took the chair at 12:00. 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.

  • YOUTH HOMELESSNESS: Making a Difference!
    YOUTH HOMELESSNESS: Making a difference! Submission Inquiry into homelessness in Australia House of Representatives Standing Committee on Social Policy and Legal Affairs Contact: Associate Professor David Mackenzie Director Upstream Australia University of South Australia COVER LETTER 7 September 2020 Dear members of the House of Representatives Legal and Social Issues Committee, This submission has been submitted by a coalition of organisations that have a common interest in reform and who hold the view that without signifcant change in the way by which we go about addressing homelessness, it will remain a troubling social problem into the future requiring ever increased funding despite a failure to achieve signifcant outcomes – that is, if the status-quo of service delivery remains largely unchanged. Realistically, change cannot happen overnight. Sustainable change does not succeed unless there is a long-term vision for what that change might look like, and how it can be realistically be achieved. As we explain in this submission, the problem of youth homelessness was recognised in Australia well before other countries such as the US, UK or Canada, but, despite several inquiries and plenty of media attention, the response to youth homelessness in Australia has been under-delivered. Have we drifted into simply managing the problem of youth homelessness while issuing a positive rhetoric of concern and action? Is the status-quo of homelessness and other cognate programs designed to actually reduce the number of young Australians who experience homelessness every year? Obviously, these are rhetorical questions! The focus of our submission are young people who experience homelessness, who have developmental and support needs relevant to their stage in the life course, however, the principles of system change addressed in this submission are more generally applicable.

  • Over 180 Organisations Urge Treasurer Frydenberg Not to Cut $56
    Media release – Melbourne, February Over 180 organisations urge Treasurer Frydenberg not to cut $56 million from homelessness services Homelessness services across the country, including domestic and family violence crisis accommodation services, are set to have over $56 million cut from their budgets by June 2021 unless the Federal Government agrees to fully fund services. Homelessness Australia Chair Jenny Smith says “In the last financial year, three in every four people using homelessness services were women and children, many of whom were fleeing family violence. “Cutting $56.7 million from homelessness services means there will be more than 500 fewer frontline workers. That will result in more women and children who are fleeing violence and who need help being turned away, putting them at risk of returning to violence or ending up on the street. “Last year, over 95,000 people missed out on getting support because the resources just weren’t there. Of the 260 people services had to tragically turn away each day, two-thirds of them were women and girls. Over 180 CEOs from front line homelessness services and other sector organisations have signed a joint letter to Treasurer Josh Frydenberg, calling on him to reinstate the scheduled budget cuts before the Federal Budget in May. Homelessness Australia Chair Jenny Smith says cutting funding for services just as demand soars is short sighted and heartless. “Homelessness services are already bracing for a huge rise in demand when the JobSeeker payment is drastically reduced at the end of March. Cutting service capacity right when more people will need support, is put simply, cruel,” Smith says.
