12 November 2020 – New Lambton Public School
PARLIAMENT OF NEW SOUTH WALES LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FIRST SESSION OF THE FIFTY-SEVENTH PARLIAMENT Motion ___________ 12 November 2020 NEW LAMBTON PUBLIC SCHOOL Ms SONIA HORNERY (Wallsend) (12:05:46): That this House: (1) Notes a recent change to the intake boundary of New Lambton Public School will see six streets very close to the school and four students excluded from attending the school. (2) Notes 68 families attending the school live outside the catchment area. (3) Calls on the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning to change the boundaries to include these six streets. There is no denying that New Lambton Public School is above capacity. Last year I met with Federation of Parents and Citizens Associations of NSW representatives and wrote to the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning requesting action to reduce enrolment numbers. As a result of that action, the department changed enrolment boundaries. But in June this year the education department changed the boundaries without any proper community consultation. An online survey asked for feedback. The problem was that the Sydney‑centric generated consultation was only shared with the current school community. No attempt was made to make parents who live in the streets that were proposed to change aware of the survey. Does that make sense? No. My office was informed of the survey just 24 hours before it was due to close. The survey was extended after our intervention. Thankfully, my office and a group of dedicated parents made contact with as many residents as possible, giving them an opportunity to have their say. -

The Speaker read the prayer and acknowledgement of country. [Notices of motions given.] Bills GAS LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (MEDICAL GAS SYSTEMS) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Kevin Anderson, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr KEVIN ANDERSON (Tamworth—Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation) (12:16:12): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. I am proud to introduce the Gas Legislation Amendment (Medical Gas Systems) Bill 2020. The bill delivers on the New South Wales Government's promise to introduce a robust and effective licensing regulatory system for persons who carry out medical gas work. As I said on 18 June on behalf of the Government in opposing the Hon. Mark Buttigieg's private member's bill, nobody wants to see a tragedy repeated like the one we saw at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital. As I undertook then, the Government has taken the steps necessary to provide a strong, robust licensing framework for those persons installing and working on medical gases in New South Wales. To the families of John Ghanem and Amelia Khan, on behalf of the Government I repeat my commitment that we are taking action to ensure no other families will have to endure as they have. The bill forms a key part of the Government's response to licensed work for medical gases that are supplied in medical facilities in New South Wales. -

[Notices of motions given.] Private Members' Statements TRIBUTE TO SUPERINTENDENT JULIAN GRIFFITHS Ms ELENI PETINOS (Miranda) (12:13): I rise to discuss and farewell the outgoing commander from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command, Superintendent Julian Griffiths. Our local media has publicised that Superintendent Griffiths has been moved from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command into the St George Police Area Command. Those of us who have had the opportunity to work with the superintendent, and to know him well, are going to miss him dearly. Media reports have not captured that Superintendent Griffiths is a capable and competent commander who has always been dedicated to serving the local community. He has done that in his capacity as a superintendent of both the Sutherland Shire Local Area Command and the merged Sutherland Shire Police Area Command over the past six years. I was recently told a story about Superintendent Griffiths which highlights the depth of his care and the lengths that he has gone to for the community. It is about the recent fires in the western part of the shire, in Menai, Alfords Point and Barden Ridge. -

Ausgrid Hunter Region Linesmen
PARLIAMENT OF NEW SOUTH WALES LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FIRST SESSION OF THE FIFTY-SEVENTH PARLIAMENT Motions ___________ 4 June 2020 AUSGRID HUNTER REGION LINESMEN Ms SONIA HORNERY ( Wallsend ) ( 11:03 ): I move that this House: (1) Notes during the 2007 tempest storm, there were 100 linesmen employed by Ausgrid in the Hunter region. (2) Notes during the 2015 east coast low storm, the number of linesmen had been halved to 50. (3) Urges the Minister for Energy and Environment to explain why there are only 17 linesmen in 2020. On the June long weekend 13 years ago Wallsend was devastated when a terrible storm, combined with king tides and driving winds, brought down power lines and flooded most of the electorate. Hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses up and down the coast were left without power for days. Thankfully the 100 linesmen employed by Ausgrid worked tirelessly to restore electricity. In 2015 an east coast low threatened further flooding and brought down trees and powerlines across the electorate. Homes and businesses were again left without power. My office in Wallsend was dark for several days after the storm and it was a real worry to me because we knew that people were calling for assistance but we could not help them. Once again, linesmen at our local Ausgrid worked tirelessly to restore power but this time their number had been halved. Only 50 linesmen were employed by Ausgrid in 2015. Earlier this year another torrential storm threatened to break the banks of Wallsend's Ironbark Creek, and both Wallsend and Lambton were flooded. -
