  • Policy Awareness Campaign Update: August/September
    Policy awareness campaign update: August/September Misinformation continues about restrictions placed on children who are opted out of SRE Specifically, the misinformation centres on what activities can be undertaken by children not enrolled in scripture while scripture classes take place. Errors made relate to both the legislation and Department of Education (DoE) policy, and are made and disseminated in the procedures and supporting materials provided by DoE to schools and available on the DoE website. Legislation: The first misinformation relates to the legislation – specifically the NSW Education Act 1990 (No. 8). Often activists or commentators make the mistake of stating the prohibition on students attending non-scripture undertaking meaningful activities is enshrined in law. In fact, the law (Sections 32, 33, and 33A of the Act) does not restrict any learning or activities while other students attend scripture classes. Those restrictions are instead applied through the Department of Education’s policies. Policy: The second misinformation relates to the Religious Education Policy. The current policy does not restrict ethics classes taking place during periods when scripture is taught. Nor does it seek to restrict what children not participating in scripture are to be allowed to do. In 2010 DoE removed a discriminatory paragraph that declared children who were not in SRE were only able to engage in activities that: should neither compete with SRE nor be alternative lessons in the subjects within the curriculum or other areas, such as, ethics, values, civics or general religious education. This was replaced with this paragraph: Schools are to provide meaningful activities for students whose parents have withdrawn them from special religious education.

  • Donato's Inaugural Speech
    22 February 201 B !B Donato’s inaugural speech: “The people of Orange rioted” against the status quo At 1:00pm today, Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party Member for Orange Philip Donato delivered his inaugural speech in the NSW Legislative Assembly. “It is a great privilege and honour that I stand here in this chamber today to deliver this speech to this house as the newly elected Member for Orange,” Mr Donato said. “I had never dreamed of being in the position in which I now stand. An unexpected opportunity presented itself and I embraced it, welcoming a new challenge with great enthusiasm and optimism.” He highlighted the challenges for the Orange electorate that he wishes to pursue in Parliament. “In Orange, there’s not enough parking at our hospital, and we don’t have a dedicated palliative care ward. The closure of Myer, Electrolux, and a mining downturn has meant that the whole community has suffered job losses. “Forbes was hit by some of the most devastating floods in history, causing the closure of the Newell Highway for over six weeks: a highway that is yet to be flood-proofed. “Our education and early childhood indicators are generally below the State average, and we need more funding delivered to these schools to lift these benchmarks. “If the same were occurring in Sydney there would be riots in the streets – but the people of Orange have rioted: they’ve elected me.” Mr Donato added that a School of Medicine for Charles Sturt University, roads funding and reducing the rural road toll are key priorities for him.

  • Legislative Assembly- PROOF Page 1
    Tuesday, 4 August 2020 Legislative Assembly- PROOF Page 1 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Tuesday, 4 August 2020 The Speaker (The Hon. Jonathan Richard O'Dea) took the chair at 12:00. 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.
