Donald Thomas Harwin) took the chair at 2.30 p.m. The President read the Prayers. The PRESIDENT: I acknowledge the Gadigal clan of the Eora nation and its elders and thank them for their custodianship of this land. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL CHAMBER WATER LEAKAGE The PRESIDENT: Earlier this morning some water penetration occurred along the northern end of the Legislative Council Chamber roof during heavy rain. Re-roofing works above the historic section of Parliament House, including the Legislative Council Chamber, are still ongoing. The contractor responsible for the works has addressed the cause of today's water penetration. Final completion and inspection of all the works are due early April, subject to weather. Members will note that one of the benches along the northern wall, which is indicated by signage, remains wet. Members are asked to use alternative benches for today. Some issues with the condition of the wallpaper in the Legislative Council Chamber predate this incident and the Department of Parliamentary Services is investigating options for its replacement. CENTENARY OF FIRST WORLD WAR The PRESIDENT: A century ago this week the first Australian troops arrived in the port city of Marseilles to contribute to the defence of France on the Western Front. Most arrived from their homeland but many disembarked already battle hardened from Gallipoli and in the Middle East. Within weeks they had travelled north by train to the battlefields. By early April they had taken over sectors of the front line and engaged with the enemy. They remained until the end of the war. In total some 295,000 of our countrymen were to serve on the Western Front. Nearly half became casualties and more than 46,000 lost their lives. As the Australian troops were arriving in Marseilles on 19 March 1916 the longest and most costly battle in history was just unfolding. The Battle of Verdun commenced on 21 February 1916 and lasted until 19 December that year. In a geographical area only about 10 times the size of Centennial Park, over the course of an interminable 303 days, two armies engaged in endless slaughter in atrocious conditions. Over a quarter of a million were killed: more than the current population of Hobart. A further 700,000 were casualties: a number exceeding the combined populations of Newcastle and Wollongong today. This was the terrible, true face of the so-called Great War. German General Erich von Falkenhayn stated his objective was to make the forces of France and its allies "bleed to death". French General Robert Nivelle replied, "On ne passe pas"—they shall not pass. Looking back, one can but say, "Lest we forget." Pursuant to sessional orders Formal Business Notices of Motions proceeded with. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Formal Business Notices of Motions Private Members' Business items Nos 634, 636 and 650 outside the Order of Precedence objected to as being taken as formal business. CLIMATE CHANGE AND GLOBAL TEMPERATURE Motion by Ms JAN BARHAM agreed to: (1) That this House notes that: (a) the United States Government's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's [NOAA] analysis showed that the global annually averaged temperature in 2014 was hotter than any other year since records began in 1880; 7330 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL 15 March 2016 (b) NOAA's analysis showed that the global annually averaged temperature in 2015 was hotter than the previous year, making last year the hottest on record; (c) NOAA's most recent monthly analyses show that December 2015 and January 2016 are the first two months on record in which global annually averaged temperatures have been more than one degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and that January 2016 was the ninth consecutive month in which the monthly temperature record has been broken; and (d) although NOAA's analysis of the February 2016 temperature data has not yet been released, two independent preliminary analyses of temperature data reported by meteorologist Mr Eric Holthaus at Slate on 3 March 2016 suggest that the global average temperature in February 2016 may have been even hotter than the previous month, and that for the first time on record the monthly averaged temperature for the Northern Hemisphere exceeded two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. (2) That this House notes that global temperatures continue to rise and without urgent action across all countries, levels of government and sectors of society and industry to reduce greenhouse gas emissions global warming will present an increasing risk to the natural environment, biodiversity and human health and wellbeing.

  • The Origins and Establishment of the Australian Council for International Development
    02 The Origins and Establishment of the Australian Council for International Development In Canberra, where the Australian Council for International Development is located, whole suburbs are devoted to industry associations and peak bodies there to capture the ear of government. It is often assumed that these industry peak bodies’ own members drove the process of coming together to advocate for their cause. The case of ACFID is quite different: it was a determined individual, Sir John ‘Jack’ Crawford, a former public servant with no NGO connections, who brought a disparate group of Australian development NGOs together into a single council in the mid-1960s. Without him there may not have been a single peak body for NGOs with the near universal representation of Australian development NGOs it has today; or at the very least it may have formed much later. In 1965 there was scepticism among NGOs about the need for a peak body, and it was not until the early 1970s that ACFID was able to establish a clear identity and become a very active council. This chapter describes how ACFID came about. Part of the rationale for establishing ACFID lies in the post-war aid scene in which newly independent countries and their international supporters, including NGOs, were struggling to meet the post-war and postcolonial challenges. While there were aid programs before World War II, and some of the common NGOs today such as the Red Cross, Save the Children, and others have their origins in the nineteenth or early twentieth centuries, these were largely concerned with disaster relief, health, education, and welfare.

  • The Making of a Not-So-Accidental Politician Ann Symonds Described
    The Making of a Not-so-Accidental Politician Ann Symonds described herself an accidental politician and, when she arrived in the Legislative Council to fill a casual vacancy, some of her Labor colleagues were inclined to agree. Who was this housewife from the affluent Eastern Suburbs of Sydney? Barney French, MLC, heard her fighting ‘maiden’ speech and wondered aloud ‘What would you know about the workers?’1 Ann’s male colleagues soon discovered that she was no privileged newcomer parachuted into a Council seat, but her path to Labor activism had been rather different from their own. A Good Catholic Girl Elizabeth Ann Burley (always known as Ann) was born in Murwillumbah on 12 July 1939. Welcoming a child on ‘the Twelfth’ – the day when Ulster Protestants celebrate the triumphs of William of Orange – was mortifying to her mother, Jean, and the rest of Ann’s Catholic family. Even her father Frank, who ‘had a healthy disrespect for the Church’ was reluctant to inform his parents about the birthday.2 Although some members of the Burley family were active in the Labor party – one of her uncles sponsored Johno Johnson into the local branch – Ann was not one of those children who grew up handing out how-to- vote cards. It was Catholicism rather than Labor politics that shaped her childhood, although the distinction between the two was not so clear-cut in the New South Wales of the 1940s. Ann’s Catholic education – at Mount St Patrick’s Primary, Murwillumbah and later as a boarder at St Mary’s College, Lismore – stimulated her love of music, theatre and the visual arts.

  • A History of the Askin Government 1965-1975, Phd Thesis, Loughnan
    A History of the Askin Government 1965-1975 Paul E. Loughnan BA [History], MA [History] A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of New England October 2013 Dedication This dissertation is dedicated to my family and good friends; Kate, Anthony, Benjamin Samuel, Thea and Mike. I will always be grateful for their patience, encouragement and unswerving support. And I have no doubt that they were instrumental in the completion of this PhD degree. Acknowledgements The debt to my Principal supervisor Dr Tim Battin is immense. At the beginning of the candidateship the circumstances were such that without his concurrence to take me on I would not have been able to undertake and complete this dissertation. At no time did I ever have any reason to doubt his professionalism and his commitment to the academic process. From my PhD experience this approach is essential and engenders the confidence required to complete such a rigorous project. As a result I still retain the belief that it is a privilege to be a candidate in the University’s PhD degree. I acknowledge my debt to the late Dr Mark Hayne who was my first lecturer at UNE when I began my tertiary education as a mature age student. He rekindled my interest in history and encouraged me to undertake research projects. My good fortune continued when Associate Professor Frank Bongiorno arrived at UNE. His professionalism and dedication to history was inspiring. Frank supervised my Masters dissertation which culminated in my PhD candidateship. He continued his commitment and interest in my pursuits by generously allocating time to this dissertation.

Dr MARJORIE O'NEILL (Coogee) (17:01): I first acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we are gathered: the Gadigal people of the Eora as well as the Bidjigal people who occupy the eastern suburbs coastline and the electorate of Coogee. I pay my respects to them, their elders past, present and emerging. I apologise to all Indigenous Australians for all the harm that has been inflicted upon them by me or any member of my family past or present. I acknowledge that the State of New South Wales has not yet done what needs to be done to acknowledge the injustices inflicted upon our First Nations people. I commit to doing my best to ensure that this Parliament starts treaty or treaties negotiations with our First Nations people. I enter this House standing on the shoulders of giants, from where I can clearly see the purpose of my being here. Giants like Kristina Keneally, who put at the heart of her Government a care for the most vulnerable in the community, particularly people with a disability, a Premier who legalised same-sex adoption, improved emergency department wait times, and properly funded schools and TAFE all the while maintaining a budget surplus during the global financial crisis. I stand on the shoulders of Bob Carr, whomForbes Magazine called "dragon slayer" for his landmark tort law reforms, a Premier who created 350 new national parks, and the first Premier in the State's history to retire debt.
