The principal role Legislative Council. of the President is to preside over the House. Together with the Speaker of the During 2017-2018 the 56th Parliament continued its legislative program with 77 Bills passed, Legislative Assembly, the President is jointly responsible for the Parliamentary 15 of which were amended in the Legislative Council. I am particularly proud of the passage precincts. of the Aboriginal Languages Bill, which recognises the languages of our first peoples. The Legislative Council embarked on a tremendous amount of committee work this year with 47 inquiries being established and 20 reports being tabled. This has been a record year for Legislative Council committees with 24 committee inquiries being active at one time. In 2017- 2018 we welcomed two new members, the Hon Wes Fang MLC and the Hon Natalie Ward MLC following the well-earned retirement of two esteemed colleagues, the Hon Duncan Gay and the Hon Greg Pearce, with 46 years of parliamentary service between them. I thank them for their valued service to the Legislative Council and the people of New South Wales. I am immensely pleased that this report provides updates on a number of significant projects undertaken by the department including the launch of the Annotated Standing Orders of the New South Wales Legislative Council by Ms Susan Want and Ms Jenelle Moore. This publication provides a complete resource detailing the operation, history and rationale of each of the Council’s 234 standing orders. I’m sure it will serve as an enduring guide for members and parliamentary officers alike for years to come. The department proudly continued to support the parliament’s engagement with the wider community with several events throughout the year, including our annual Australia Day, Family Fun Day and Sydney Open festivities, as well as our management of the Fountain Court art exhibition space and school talks conducted by our Chamber Support team. On behalf of all members I express my gratitude to the Clerk and all staff of the department for their dedication to supporting the Legislative Council throughout the year.

The 2017/18 reporting year became one of the more dramatic years in the recent history of The Clerk provides expert advice the New South Wales Legislative Council. on parliamentary law, practice and During this reporting period, two long serving members of the Legislative Council, the Hon procedure to the President, ministers and members of the Legislative Council. Duncan Gay and the Hon Greg Pearce, resigned and were replaced by the Hon Wes Fang The Clerk is also responsible to the and the Hon Natalie Ward respectively. Since the end of the reporting period, there has President for the efficient and effective been one further change in the membership of the House, with Dr Mehreen Faruqi resigning administration of the Department of the from the Legislative Council to fill a casual vacancy created in the Australian Senate by the Legislative Council. resignation of (former NSW MLC) Senator Lee Rhiannon. Dr Faruqi’s place was taken by former MLC, Ms Cate Faehrmann. As foreshadowed in last year’s report, in 2017/18 the NSW Parliament was honoured to host two significant inter-parliamentary conferences: the 47th Presiding Officers and Clerks Conference and the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association (CPA) Australia and Pacific Joint Regional Conference. The Office of the Clerk of the Parliaments has continued to take primary responsibility for the administration of the CPA during this period and was centrally involved in arrangements for those very successful conferences. Two important publications were officially launched in 2017/18, details of which are special features in this annual report: the third monograph in the Legislative Council’s oral history series: The Legislative Council and responsible government: Egan v Willis and Egan v Chadwick; and The Annotated Standing Orders of the New South Wales Legislative Council. We are very proud of both publications, which add to the collection of scholarly works on parliamentary law and practice. The publication of the first of these publications, timed to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the Egan cases, proved to be particularly timely in view of developments in the first half of 2018. For most of the 56th Parliament, since the 2015 election, the Government has had a fairly comfortable time in the Legislative Council. As with the 50th Parliament (1991-95) the Government has only required two additional votes to win divisions. Consequently, it was unusually rare during the 2015-2017 period for the Government to lose control of business, relatively few amendments were made to legislation and there was a 20 year low in the number of orders for the production of documents agreed to. With a member of the Government crossing the floor on a small number of occasions in the first half of 2018, however, the dynamic in the chamber shifted substantially and a number of very interesting procedural developments resulted. Twenty years after the Egan cases, 2018 saw a majority in the House for the first time challenge the refusal of a government to produce documents on the grounds that they were, or contained, “cabinet information”. The documents in question, a number of business cases for large capital projects and a consultant report on an area of public policy, were eventually produced - with redacted versions tabled and made public and unredacted versions dealt with as being the subject of claims of privilege.
