Hansard VOLUNTARY ASSISTED DYING BILL 2017 NSW 16 November 2017
VOLUNTARY ASSISTED DYING BILL 2017 Second Reading Debate The PRESIDENT: Before I call the Hon. Walt Secord, on behalf of all members I welcome all visitors in the public gallery to the New South Wales Legislative Council. I know they are here to watch the proceedings. A number of rules apply not only to members but also to people in the public gallery who will be listening to the debate. No matter what they think about what is said, they need to listen to the debate quietly. Applause, jeering or any other gestures are not permitted. Visitors are also not to attempt to talk to members in the Chamber. If they have something to say to those who are seated next to them I ask them to do so quietly. There should be no audible conversation. Photographs and filming are not permitted apart from the media photographers who have been authorised to do so. Please follow any instructions by officers of Parliament. No signs or other props are to be utilised during the debate. The Hon. WALT SECORD ( 10:41 ): I contribute to debate on the Voluntary Assisted Dying Bill 2017 which was introduced by the Hon. Trevor Khan, Deputy President and Chairman of Committees and a Nationals member of Parliament. I acknowledge that this bill was developed in conjunction with an informal parliamentary working group comprising a number of members from various parties. This bill, while simple, is historic. It has significant and far-reaching implications and it encapsulates more than the simple slogan of the right to die. -

I would also like to pay respect to the Elders past, present and emerging of the Eora nation and extend that respect to other First Nations people present.

Putting People First Policy & Agenda Committee Report
STATE CONFERENCE 2014 Labor STATE CONFERENCE 2014 PUTTING PEOPLE FIRST POLICY & AGENDA COMMITTEE REPORT 1 2014 STATE CONFERENCE CONFERENCE POLICY AND AGENDA COMMITTEE REPORT Introduction The Conference Policy and Agenda Committee was established following a rules change at the 2012 Annual State Conference. The Committee is responsible for setting the agenda of the Conference, as well as making recommendations to the Conference regarding policy items that have been submitted. The Committee formed the following nine sub-committees to draft recommendations for the submitted motions ■ A Healthy Society ■ Australia and the World ■ Building Sustainable Communities ■ Country Labor ■ Education and Skills ■ Indigenous People and Reconciliation ■ Our Economic Future ■ Prosperity and Fairness at Work ■ Stronger Democracy and Social Justice A Healthy Society The previous Federal Labor Government had many achievements in health policy. The Committee wishes to recognise the work undertaken by the former Government, particularly Health Ministers Nicola Roxon and Tanya Plibersek. Labor can be proud of its record, including the National Health Reform Agreement, the Preventative Health Taskforce, cigarette plain packaging, the Living Longer – Living Better plan and the rollout of the eHealth system. Unfortunately, the election of the Abbott Coalition Government has put these achievements at risk. We have already seen $50 billion ripped from the health system, which could see over 300 hospital beds closed in NSW alone. The universality of Medicare is at stake with the introduction of an up-front fee for patients when they see a GP. This co- payment will remove the incentives to take preventative health actions. The Doctors Reform Society, AMA, ANMF, College of GPs and eminent health economists are all in opposition to the GP co-payment system. -

Michael Daley MP NSW Labor Leader
MEDIA RELEASE Michael Daley MP NSW Labor Leader Thursday 14 February 2019 LANDCARE NSW TO GROW UNDER A DALEY LABOR GOVERNMENT Michael Daley and Labor will invest $32.5 million in 3,000 Landcare, Bushcare and Rivercare groups across the length and breadth of NSW. Deputy Leader of the Opposition and Shadow Minister for the Environment, Penny Sharpe, and Shadow Primary Industries Minister, Mick Veitch, joined with Landcare volunteers at Gladesville to make the announcement. Labor’s commitment will double current funding and enable the organisation to deploy more front line and regional co-ordinators to assist volunteer groups with on ground works, resourcing, strategy and securing other partnerships. “The 60,000 volunteers that make up Landcare NSW do a fantastic job in caring for our country – from rehabilitation and addressing salinity and soil erosion, to weed control and improving the water quality of our creeks and rivers - but they need the ongoing support of Government,” Mr Daley said. Ms Sharpe said: “This funding doubles the existing capacity of Landcare in NSW, and will put more local and regional coordinators on the ground where they are needed most.” Landcare NSW also acts as an umbrella group for a range of volunteer groups including Rivercare and Dunecare. It takes a community-based approach to managing and protecting natural resources –conserving our environment, creating more productive and sustainable farms, and helping build more cohesive and resilient communities. A recent report commissioned by Landcare NSW suggested the value of their work across the state was worth conservatively $500 million per annum. “Labor has no hesitation in giving Landcare the support it needs,” Mr Veitch said. -
