Legislative Assembly 8539 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Tuesday 21 February 2012 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 12 noon. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. PRIVATE MEMBERS' STATEMENTS __________ PENRITH LAND CONTAMINATION Mr STUART AYRES (Penrith) [12.00 p.m.]: I draw to the attention of the House action taken by the Office of Environment and Heritage in response to a potential contamination of land as the result of a leaky underground petrol container that was removed in 2008 from a service station on Mulgoa Road, Jamisontown, which is in the Penrith electorate. This Government has been at the forefront in ensuring that petrol stored in underground tanks is secure and taking appropriate action when leaks occur. The elevated concentrations of fuel-related compounds found on the Mulgoa Road 7-Eleven site were declared significant to warrant regulation under the Contaminated Land Management Act on the basis that such compounds potentially had the capacity to move offsite and contaminate areas around Mulgoa Road. The Environment Protection Authority took up the call to investigate sites along McNaughton Street and to assess the spread of any contamination. Fuel was detected along part of the street, but being at a depth of approximately eight to nine metres below the surface any fuel vapour was not anticipated to reach the surface. This is the particular reason I am surprised and even astounded by the response of Labor councillor Prue Guillaume and a report in the Western Weekender, which can only be labelled as an attempt to beat up fear and hype amongst innocent local residents who, because of the action taken by this Government and the body corporate to protect any sites from leaks that may have originated from this 7-Eleven site, have no reason for concern. Residents of the affected properties and the units affected at 80 McNaughton Street were contacted by 7-Eleven through its body corporate to provide an update of developments surrounding the potential contamination of their land. At 9.00 a.m. on Saturday 25 February residents will receive an update on the situation and have the opportunity to ask any questions and raise concerns. This information has been broadcast by 7-Eleven, and the Office of Environment and Heritage has been notified. It is highly irresponsible for a local councillor to whip up fear among surrounding residents without any regard— Mr Paul Lynch: Point of order: Private members' statements usually are not an avenue to attack other people, especially those outside this House. Earlier the member referred in passing to a councillor, but I did not take a point of order at that time. He has now returned to what appears to be an attack on someone outside this House. The SPEAKER: Order! I uphold the point of order. Mr STUART AYRES: Residents of McNaughton Street have every right to feel disappointed that local representatives raised this matter inappropriately rather than consulted with local members or appropriate bodies to ensure that all community members have the correct information. I recognise the leadership of the O'Farrell Government, together with the Minister for the Environment, the Hon. Robyn Parker, on soil contamination. The New South Wales Government has been on the front foot: It has approved $6 million over a three-year period to clean up contaminated sites and extended the role of the Environment Protection Authority as a regulator of these sites. In November last year it provided funding of $450,000 to assist specifically with the clean-up of service station sites across New South Wales—action not undertaken by the previous Government. Clearly, this shows that the O'Farrell Government is committed under the leadership of the Minister for the Environment to ensure that any suspected contamination of land on old service station sites is dealt with appropriately and that funding is available to ensure that communities can respond to any potential contamination. 8540 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY 21 February 2012 The Office of Environment and Heritage has made it clear that it does not believe there is any significant risk to the residents of Mulgoa Road. I repeat: the Office of Environment and Heritage believes that the depth of this fuel leak provides no, or limited, opportunity for fuel vapour to reach the surface. The office does not expect any fuel vapour to be detected by residents and there is no cause for concern. As I said earlier, the 7-Eleven body corporate will hold a further meeting at 9.00 a.m. on 25 February to ensure that residents have access to all the information. The Government continues its work of ensuring that fuel sites prone to contamination are secured appropriately. Penrith residents concerned about this issue are free to contact the local electorate office, the 7-Eleven body corporate directly, or the Office of Environment and Heritage. COWS CREATE CAREERS PROGRAM Mr CLAYTON BARR (Cessnock) [12.05 p.m.]: I inform the House that once again the Cessnock electorate is representing New South Wales and doing the State proud. I am not talking about famous luminaries from my area like Casey Stoner, Chad Reed or Jennifer Hawkins. Rather, I refer to a group of year 10 agriculture students from Cessnock High School who have been chosen from the Cows Create Careers program to represent New South Wales at the Australian Dairy Conference. I pass on my best wishes and the best wishes of this House as they travel to Phillip Island this week to show off their work. The Cows Create Careers program involves agriculture students from around the country who have been selected to compete in their school team against other school teams from their region. The competition requires the students to care for three dairy calves for almost a year and put together a power point presentation, letter and poster about career opportunities in the dairy industry. After almost an entire year's work, research and preparation, not to mention caring for their little calves, the students presented their work, along with other Hunter schools, at Tocal College and were judged the best team in the region. Cessnock High School has now won both junior and senior divisions in the competition for the third successive year—an extraordinary achievement given that agriculture is such a popular course in our region and especially when it is sometimes suggested in this House that this local member has no agricultural background. It is clearly a credit to the teachers in the agriculture program at the school. But that was not the end of it. The Cessnock High School team of Lauren McGowan, Madison King, Natalie Lasky, Jenna-May Ryan, Courtney Scott and Abby Noone were then selected by the Dairy Industry Association to represent New South Wales at a national conference in the Moo'in Transfer competition—a different challenge altogether. With six weeks' notice the girls put together a television advertisement to convince consumers to buy milk at $3 per litre in recognition of the energy, effort and time involved in preparing a litre of milk—a tough challenge given the current circumstances. Only two of the girls will speak for thirty seconds each: One before and the other after the presentation. Along with parents and staff I was fortunate enough to watch a mock run of their presentation. I applaud their application and the effort that has gone into their work. They demonstrated a careful analysis of and care for the industry. I am sure they have a good chance of winning the competition. In fact, they left for Victoria today, accompanied by their teacher, Mr Greg Matthews, and will return on Thursday. Greg is a teacher of high regard and long standing, and imminent retirement. It is a testimony to Greg's love and passion for agriculture and for his students that these students from little old Cessnock will be on the national stage. This success is an endorsement of the whole electorate of Cessnock. People refer to statistics—and I include myself in that—and bemoan the low levels of education and tertiary education in my electorate. Achievements such as these may be small in the scheme of all that we do in this place, but they are big in showcasing the skills, abilities and overall potential of our area. I am proud of the members of this team; they should be even prouder of themselves. I commend them to the House. Mr DONALD PAGE (Ballina—Minister for Local Government, and Minister for the North Coast) [12.10 p.m.]: On behalf of the New South Wales Government I congratulate the year 10 agricultural students of Cessnock High School on their wonderful local achievements and on representing New South Wales in the national competition to be held today and tomorrow. On behalf of all members I wish them well. I also acknowledge the wonderful contribution made by their teacher, Mr Greg Matthews, who has obviously done a wonderful job over many years at Cessnock High School. We thank him for his contribution in preparing these students for this national competition. PARKES ELVIS FESTIVAL Mr TROY GRANT (Dubbo—Parliamentary Secretary) [12.11 p.m.]: The memory of the hip swivelling, pelvis gyrating, pop culture icon of his day whose awe-inspiring journey from an impoverished 21 February 2012 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY 8541 upbringing in Memphis to the man who would go on to be referred to ever after as the King of Rock 'n' Roll is honoured each year when the township of Parkes, within the electorate of Dubbo, throws open its doors to the world and welcomes Elvis Presley fans to celebrate the life and music of this most remarkable man.

  • Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia
    Australian Journal of Politics and History: Volume 53, Number 4, 2007, pp. 614-667. Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia January to June 2007 JOHN WANNA The Australian National University and Griffith University Shadow Dancing Towards the 2007 Election The election year began with Prime Minister John Howard facing the new Opposition leader, Kevin Rudd. Two developments were immediately apparent: as a younger fresher face Rudd played up his novelty value and quickly won public support; whereas Howard did not know how to handle his new “conservative” adversary. Rudd adopted the tactic of constantly calling himself the “alternative prime minister” while making national announcements and issuing invitations for summits as if he were running the government. He promised to reform federal-state relations, to work collaboratively with the states on matters such as health care, to invest in an “education revolution”, provide universal access to early childhood education, and to fast-track high-speed broadbanding at a cost of $4.7 billion. Rudd also began to stalk and shadow the prime minister around the country — a PM “Doppelgänger” — appearing in the same cities or at the same venues often on the same day (even going to the Sydney cricket test match together). Should his office receive word of the prime minister’s intended movements or scheduled policy announcements, Rudd would often appear at the location first or make upstaging announcements to take the wind from the PM’s sails. Politics was a tactical game like chess and Rudd wanted to be seen taking the initiative. He claimed he thought “it will be fun to play with his [John Howard’s] mind for a while” (Weekend Australian Magazine, 10-11 February 2007).

  • Stephen Bali Inaugural Speech.Pdf
    Inaugural Speeches Inaugural Speeches Extract from NSW Legislative Assembly Hansard and Papers Tuesday 21 November 2017. Mr STEPHEN BALI (Blacktown) (16:36): Parliamentary colleagues, distinguished guests and my dear family. I acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation and I pay my respects to elders past and present for their custodianship of the land on which we meet. I also acknowledge the Dharug people whose ancestors walked the Blacktown electorate. It is an incredible honour and a humbling experience to address this historic Chamber, the oldest Parliament of Australia, and to represent the needs and aspirations of the people of Blacktown. To do so as the son of a refugee says much about the equality and opportunity of Australian society. I recognise in the gallery the Ambassador to Hungary, His Excellency Dr Attila Gruber, and the Polish Consul General, Ms Regina Jurkowska. My family story has much in common with many of the constituents of Blacktown, and indeed with many members of this Chamber. My parents came to Australia by boat as refugees after the 1956 Hungarian communist revolution. My father, Karoly—known as Charlie—was 20 years old and learnt English on the boat. My mother, Eva, was a teenager accompanying her family who were settling in Melbourne. My father travelled the countryside, working wherever he got a job. They met and married in 1959 and moved to a house in Doonside, which was the home of my Aunt Gizi. When Gizi returned to Hungary my parents took over the mortgage on the fibro house, which is still my mother's home today.

  • Submission to the Inquiry Into the Functions, Processes and Procedures of the Standing Committee on Environment and Public Affairs
    Submission to the inquiry into the functions, processes and procedures of the Standing Committee on Environment and Public Affairs 18 December 2019 Hon Matthew Swinbourn MLC Standing Committee on Environment and Public Affairs Parliament House 4 Harvest Terrace, West Perth, WA 6005 Dear Chair, Thank you for the invitation to participate in this inquiry. My submission addresses sub-section (a) of the inquiry’s terms of reference, namely the role of petitions in a modern parliament. The submission draws primarily from research conducted for my 2018 Australasian Parliamentary Review article, Parliamentarians’ Actions within Petition Systems: Their Impact on Public Perceptions of Fairness (see attached). Judging modern politics: A climate of mistrust and disengagement The question of what role petitions should play in a modern parliament is raised in the context of widespread loss of public confidence and trust in political institutions throughout the developed world.1 In Australia, recent public attitudes to politics can be summarised as: [A]cross the age range citizens are judging their politics not through the lens of complacency but more through the lens of righteous indignation with a democratic politics too influenced by powerful sectional interests, and too prone to allowing politicians to break their promises with impunity.2 Although the exact causes remain unclear, a range of factors may be contributing to this decline, including poor political performance, falling interpersonal trust, and a polarising media sector.3 Yet whatever the reason for this mistrust and resentment, the consequence is an increased sense of economic and political disenfranchisement: citizens no longer believe they can influence policy, or that they are listened to or treated fairly by their political leaders.
