Legislative Assembly 2372 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Wednesday 27 September 2006 ______ ABSENCE OF MR SPEAKER The Clerk announced the absence of Mr Speaker. Mr Deputy-Speaker (The Hon. John Charles Price) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Deputy-Speaker offered the Prayer. Mr DEPUTY-SPEAKER: I acknowledge the Gadigal clan of the Eora nation and its elders and thank them for their custodianship of this land. DEATH OF THE HONOURABLE ERIC LANCE BEDFORD, A FORMER MINISTER OF THE CROWN Mr GRANT McBRIDE (The Entrance—Minister for Gaming and Racing, and Minister for the Central Coast) [10.00 a.m.], by leave: I move: That this House extends to Mrs Bedford and her family the deep sympathy of the members of the Legislative Assembly in the loss sustained by the death on 8 July 2006 of the Hon. Eric Lance Bedford, a former Minister of the Crown. I acknowledge the presence in the visitors' gallery of Jo Bedford and other members of the Bedford family. Today I pay tribute to the late Hon. Eric Lance Bedford, who was born on 19 February 1928 at Concord and who sadly passed away on Saturday 8 July 2006, aged 78 years. Eric was born to Roy Oswald and Clara Rosalind Bedford and I understand his only sibling was a younger brother, Ross, who predeceased him. Eric lived a life of service to the people of New South Wales. He was a schoolteacher, in fact, the first schoolteacher to become a Labor Education Minister in this State. He subsequently served in the New South Wales Parliament from 24 February 1968 to 31 December 1985—17 years, 10 months and 8 days. Following his retirement from Parliament Eric continued to remain active. From 1986 to 1990 he chaired the Local Government Grants Commission, from 1988 to 1998 he was Chair of the Hastings Higher Education Association, and from 1996 to 2001 he was President of the Association of Former Members of the New South Wales Parliament. He also remained an active member of the New South Wales Geographical Society and the Australian Labor Party [ALP], to which in the year 2000 he was awarded life membership—the highest honour in the party. Such a life of service is not possible without family support, and I make special mention of Eric's wife, Jo Bedford. The two of them made a great team. Eric and Jo were married on 6 May 1950. They were fortunate to have three beautiful daughters, Robyn, Julie and Judy. Tragically, the Bedford family was struck by the sad and premature deaths of two daughters, leaving behind grandchildren on whom Eric and Jo have doted. For those who live on—wife Jo, daughter Judy, and the grandchildren, Dominique and Tamara, Nicole and James, Adam and Joel—the spirit of Eric continues to live on also. I first met Eric when I was a member of the Canley Vale branch of the ALP in Western Sydney. Eric was universally well liked and highly respected by all. He was a good-humoured, generous, open and engaging person. He was a talented politician and a worthy Minister holding the ministries of Education, Planning and Environment, Industry and Decentralisation, and Small Business and Technology in the Wran era. In fact, during the period when he was the Minister for Industry and Decentralisation, and Small Business and Technology, he gave me the tie I am wearing today. I found it quite moving when I put it on this morning. I have always kept the tie, and it has always been for me a memory of Eric. Eric was highly valued, well liked and respected by Premier Wran. Eric was someone I both admired and saw as a role model. Many others share my respect and admiration for Eric, and I invited some of those who attended Eric's funeral or provided tributes to have their words incorporated into today's condolence motion. The 27 September 2006 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY 2373 claim is that Gough Whitlam recruited Eric back to the active list of the ALP and encouraged him to seek public office. In his letter to Jo, Gough Whitlam says in part: Our family and many thousands of families will remember Eric's contribution to their lives and grieve with you and your family at this time. From Neville Wran, I quote in part: Above all Eric Bedford's political life was characterised by his loyalty—his loyalty to the Labor Party, his loyalty to the Government in which he served, his loyalty to the leadership and his colleagues, to his family and most of all himself. Few men who have been elected to this chamber (the New South Wales Lower house) have left it with the respect and good will which Eric Bedford enjoyed. I repeat what Neville Wran said: Few men who have been elected to this chamber (the New South Wales Lower house) have left it with the respect and good will which Eric Bedford enjoyed. Terry Sheahan, a Wran Minister and mate of Eric's, delivered the official eulogy, in which he captured the virtues and the spirit of the man. Commenting on Eric's first speech—what used to be known as a maiden speech—on 21 August 1968, Terry says: A genuine inner spirituality also comes through in his sensitive account of the varying needs which his multicultural constituency faced in regard to places of worship and community support services. At one point in his speech he said, simply but emphatically: I consider it my duty to press relentlessly for the alleviation of the problem. And for the next 18 years on the back or on the front bench in Fairfield (1968-81) or Cabramatta (1981-85) he did just that. Janice Crosio, a former Wran Minister, Federal member and Mayor of Fairfield City, was Eric's next-door neighbour, so to speak, in the adjoining electorate. Janice was also part of the strong western Sydney Labor representation in the Wran era, many of whom came from a local government background, like George Pacullio, John Aquilina, Janice Crosio and Pam Allan. Janice says of Eric, simply but powerfully: Eric was a wonderful human being and a genuine Man of the People. Nick Lalich, the current Mayor of Fairfield City, a long-time friend and colleague of Eric's and a former pupil when Eric was a teacher at Liverpool Boys High, says in part: As far as a teacher goes, I remember Eric as a fairly hard teacher, but I felt he was very fair. I copped a lot of canning from Eric and probably deservedly so. Nick goes on: As a State Member he did a lot of work for Cabramatta and for the Fairfield community which we are indebted for. Greg Friedewald, Press Secretary to Eric from June 1980 to December 1985, says of Eric: First and foremost he was a wonderful person. As his Premier, Neville Wran said at his funeral he was probably too nice a bloke for the cut throat world of politics. Greg refers to Eric's achievements that are not well documented since his passing, namely his involvement in the Wran Government's environmental achievements: … saving of the forests, the move to lead free petrol, waste management and the management of critical national parks like Kosciusko and Lake Mungo. Eric's staff are acknowledged in Terry Sheahan's eulogy. I would like to conclude with an Eric story provided by his former press secretary Michael Ross, who worked for Eric between 1976 and 1980: Eric had two major dislikes: He hated queuing for food, and he hated dinner suits. He promised all of us when he retired, he would have a party we would all be invited to at Zanzibar, his retirement property at Logans Crossing, near Kendall (where he 2374 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY 27 September 2006 proudly flew the State flag from a flag pole.) And, he would run his dinner suit up the flag pole, and salute it, and then bring it down and burn it in the open fire. And that he duly did! I am told that story is true. It says something of the character of Eric Bedford. I lay on the table for the information of members, as part of my comments today, the correspondence from Gough Whitlam and Neville Wran, the eulogy delivered by Terry Sheahan, which covers the life of Eric Bedford better than I could ever do, and the correspondence from Greg Friedewald, Eric's press secretary. Mr IAN ARMSTRONG (Lachlan) [10.13 a.m.]: I join the Minister for Gaming and Racing, and Minister for the Central Coast in extending my appreciation for the life of Eric Bedford, particularly in this place, and my sympathy to his wife, Muriel, and family. I think Mr Speaker, John Aquilina, and I are the only members of the current Parliament to have served with Eric Bedford. I came to this place in 1981, at which time Eric Bedford was Minister for Planning, and he then went on to become the Minister for Education after the next election. The Minister has outlined Eric Bedford's history in this place well, including some of the lighter side of Eric. He was a most pleasant man. He was one of the old school; there is no doubt about that. He played politics hard, but very professionally and with great sophistication. There was none of the pedestrian chitter-chatter nonsense, and so forth, that sometimes goes on in parliaments these days. Eric Bedford and his colleagues were tough debaters, they were good researchers, they were good thinkers, and they had a mission to be in this place because they respected very much their responsibilities in having been elected to the Parliament to achieve something on behalf of the people of New South Wales, and particularly those in their electorates.

  • Chairman's Report
    Chairman’s Report The Union will record a small deficit in 2002 however given that the Union’s grant from NSW Rugby Union was reduced in 2001/2002 by half and the Union did not reduce its level of service nor cut programs during the 2002 season this is a fair result. Future savings are anticipated given that in September the Union Office relocated with NSW Rugby Union who have granted rent free office space to the Union at the Sydney Football Stadium. This move was first discussed in 1996 and to finally see it come to fruition has been very pleasing. Early reports suggest that the relocation has been well received by the staff, NSWRU and affiliates alike. We look forward to fostering stronger relations with NSW Rugby Union into the future as a result. A 20% increase in sponsorship revenue has helped minimise costs to clubs and I would like to thank Canterbury International, Coca-Cola, Ricoh, Gilbert, Beiersdorf Australia (Leuko), Australian Rugby Review and major sponsors Interfuse all of whom have been associated with the Union for in excess of five years. The Union also thanks Big Sister Laundry and Icons of Sport for their support. On the representative scene it was pleasing to see NSWSRU take on NSW Country for the first time in many years and I hope that this can once again be an annual representative fixture. Thank you to Peter Duckworth, Peter Walsh and their Management Team for their efforts in preparing a quality representative team and program. I wish to thank my fellow Management Committee Members for their efforts throughout the last year.

    Full Day Hansard Transcript (Legislative Assembly, 11 May 2011, Corrected Copy) Extract from NSW Legislative Assembly Hansard and Papers Wednesday, 11 May 2011. GOVERNOR'S SPEECH: ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Fourth Day's Debate Debate resumed from an earlier hour. Mr GUY ZANGARI (Fairfield) [6.17 p.m.] (Inaugural Speech): Mr Deputy-Speaker, I congratulate you on your election as the Deputy-Speaker. We look forward to your distinguished service to the House and to the people of New South Wales. It is a privilege to address the House this evening. It is a sincere honour to be elected to the oldest Parliament in the country and the Fifty-fifth Parliament of New South Wales. It is equally an honour to be the elected representative for Fairfield. Life's journey is characterised by the people you meet and the family you are part of. People are shaped and formed by their experiences throughout life, and I need to thank many people for shaping and moulding me into the person I am today. My life has been an experience of two halves. The first is to have grown up in the inner-western suburbs of Sydney with my parents and siblings; the second is to have been tertiary educated and to work, live and raise a family in the outer-western Sydney suburbs. I am always a westie and proud of it. I begin by acknowledging the people who assisted the Fairfield Labor Party campaign. My campaign director, Adrian Boothman, is a former student of Patrician Brothers' College, Fairfield. His tireless efforts, constant support and advice were and remain invaluable.

  • Trailing Clouds of Glory Did They Come
    TRAILING CLOUDS OF GLORY DID THEY COME... Bert Penwill, Griff Hunt and Rugby in Victoria Ron Grainger 2015 TRAILING CLOUDS OF GLORY DID THEY COME... 'There is a history in all men's lives' William Shakespeare Although a generation apart, two men who were to make a major contribution to Victorian Rugby shared much in common, not least that both came anointed with the mystical oil of Welsh Rugby, specifically of the Newport variety, though not of a 1st XV vintage. Nevertheless, both made their mark early in the city of that name, not only in rugby but in other sports, notably aquatic. Both were born in England, but were living in Newport by the age of ten, both commenced employment before joining the Territorials and then seeing active service in the British Army before coming to Australia where they later became deeply involved in the organisation and management of Rugby Union in Victoria. The big difference between them lay in their ages, Griffyth George (Griff) Hunt being born in 1911, the same year in which Herbert Garfield (Bert) Penwill, then aged thirty-one, left England for Australia. But as a closer look soon reveals, there were other differences, not least those associated with the social, economic and technological developments of the times. Their service to the State Union covered the beginning and end of its first fifty years and the following accounts inevitably include comment on those times and on the development of the Victorian Rugby Union (VRU) over that period. Before then, successive Unions in the Colony of Victoria had arranged rugby matches against British, New Zealand and New South Wales teams, but organised club competition had been spasmodic.

    Chapter 1 Introduction Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? Section 1.2: Problems of sex, gender and parliament Section 1.3: Gender and the Parliament, 1995-1999 Section 1.4: Expectations on female MPs Section 1.5: Outline of the thesis Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? The Sydney Morning Herald of 27 August 1925 reported the first speech given by a female Member of Parliament (hereafter MP) in New South Wales. In the Legislative Assembly on the previous day, Millicent Preston-Stanley, Nationalist Party Member for the Eastern Suburbs, created history. According to the Herald: ‘Miss Stanley proceeded to illumine the House with a few little shafts of humour. “For many years”, she said, “I have in this House looked down upon honourable members from above. And I have wondered how so many old women have managed to get here - not only to get here, but to stay here”. The Herald continued: ‘The House figuratively rocked with laughter. Miss Stanley hastened to explain herself. “I am referring”, she said amidst further laughter, “not to the physical age of the old gentlemen in question, but to their mental age, and to that obvious vacuity of mind which characterises the old gentlemen to whom I have referred”. Members obviously could not afford to manifest any deep sense of injury because of a woman’s banter. They laughed instead’. Preston-Stanley’s speech marks an important point in gender politics. It introduced female participation in the Twenty-seventh Parliament. It stands chronologically midway between the introduction of responsible government in the 1850s and the Fifty-first Parliament elected in March 1995.
