THE HON NICOLA ROXON MP Attorney-General Minister for Emergency Management
UNCLASSIFIED THE HON NICOLA ROXON MP Attorney-General Minister for Emergency Management SPEECH TO THE SECUIRTY IN GOVERNMENT CONFERENCE: PROTECTIVE SECURITY – POLICY IN ACTION ***CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY*** TUESDAY 4 SEPTEMBER Acknowledgements Thank you Mike (Mike Rothery, First Assistant Secretary, National Security Resilience Policy Division, Attorney-General’s Department) · Roger Wilkins AO, Secretary, Attorney-General’s Department · Security industry leaders and suppliers · Ladies and gentlemen. Introduction It’s great to join you for this year’s Security in Government Conference, my first as Attorney-General. SIG is considered to be Australia’s premier event on protective security, becoming very well established since its first gathering in 1987. That was certainly a different era. I was studying law at the University of Melbourne. And one of the most popular TV shows at the time was LA Law. While it wasn’t necessarily an accurate portrayal of the law or of legal proceedings, it was entertaining. I remember in one episode a teenage computer hacker was hired to fix the law firm’s phones. I thought the story line was intriguing. Could he really be trusted? I must admit, I don’t recall how the story played out. But I did do a bit of research and was amused to find the episode was written by Anonymous. And I think that’s enough said about that… I’ve also been informed that ’87 was the year the first mobile phone call was made in Australia. Today there are more than 29 million mobile phone and internet services in operation in Australia. Times have certainly changed.

Terry Mccrann: Which Is It Labor … Are We in Recession Or Can We Afford Higher Power Prices? Terry Mccrann, Herald Sun, March 11, 2019 8:00Pm Subscriber Only
Terry McCrann: Which is it Labor … are we in recession or can we afford higher power prices? Terry McCrann, Herald Sun, March 11, 2019 8:00pm Subscriber only Labor’s top duo Bill Shorten and Chris Bowen want to have it both ways. On the one hand, they say the economy is in deep trouble — indeed, that it has actually already slid into recession, according to Bowen, in “per capita” (per person) terms. MORE MCCRANN: WHY BOWEN’S RECESSION CALL IS RUBBISH JAMES CAMPBELL: SCOMO IS ROLLING THE DICE ON BOATS Yet on the other, that households — and even more, small and medium-sized businesses — who are already paying cripplingly high gas and electricity prices, are actually in such great financial shape that they can happily pay higher and higher prices yet. And further, that an incoming Labor government can hit investors with over $200 billion of new taxes and the economy will just keep riding smoothly on. Shadow treasurer Chris Bowen says Australia is already in a “per capita” recession. At least they can’t be accused of hiding any of this. The disastrous economic managers they promise to be — especially Bowen who is on the record as thinking Wayne Swan was one of Australia’s greatest treasurers — is ‘hiding’ not just in plain sight, but in right-in-your face sight. The so-called “per capita recession” that Bowen came out with last week was just rubbish. Yes, the economy slowed in the second half of last year. In the first half, GDP — the measure of Australia’s economic output — was growing at close to a 4 per cent annual rate.

The Hon Nicola Roxon Mp ' Minister for Health and Agein
THE HON NICOLA ROXON MP PETITIONS COMMITTE'E Received in Secretariat^/^/// MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND AGEIN j Petition No: The Hon John Murphy MP Number of Signatures: Chair Standing Committee on Petitions Parliament House CANBERRA ACT 2600 Dear Mr Murphy Thank you for your letter of 22 November 2010 regarding the petition of residents of Goodooga and surrounds about downgrades and reductions to health and emergency services to the area provided by the New South Wales Greater Western Area Health Service (GWAHS) and Ambulance Service of New South Wales. As per Standing Order 209(b), I am providing a written response to you on the matters raised in the petition. I note that the petition calls on the House to pressure the New South Wales Minister for Health, the Hon Carmel Tebbutt MP, and managerial staff of the GWAHS to secure the funding of its 24-hour emergency service and reinstate its ambulance service. The Australian Government is investing a record amount of up to $7.4 billion to implement the most significant reforms to health and hospitals since the introduction of Medicare. Under these reforms, the National Health and Hospitals Network will create a single national unified health system which is nationally funded and locally run to ensure all Australians have access to affordable and high quality health care. In September 2010, the Prime Minister, the Hon Julia Gillard MP, announced further investment through a new regional priority funding round of the Health and Hospitals Fund to improve health services to regional Australia. While the Commonwealth provides support and funding to the states and territories, the current management and delivery of health and hospital services rests with each state and territory government.

PO Box 1160, Melbourne, Victoria, 3001 AWHN CONVENOR'S REPORT, April 2010. This is a quick update on our activities in the final weeks of Conference preparation. The same three projects continue to occupy most of our time: the Conference, lobbying around the new National Women's Health Policy (NWHP) and managing the AWHN Aboriginal Women's Talking Circle Project. The New National Women's Health Policy The consultation and submission processes for the NWHP were completed in 2009. Our understanding is that the policy is being written in the first half of 2010. We have not been able to find out anything about when the policy will be launched. At the beginning of the consultation process, we were told that it would be released in the middle of 2010. Later, we were told we could expect it earlier than that. The Committee thought it would be a great idea if the new policy could be launched at the Conference by the Minister for Health, Nicola Roxon.
