  • Hon Natalie Ward
    The Hon. NATALIE WARD (18:08): It is an honour to be in this place and a privilege to speak for the first time. I am humbled to have the opportunity to serve as a member of the Legislative Council. I will serve with humility and courage. I cannot claim to arrive here from a disadvantaged background. I was blessed with a loving, stable, happy family home. My parents worked hard to provide me with an excellent education. It was strong family values and love that allowed me to develop my faith, my work ethic, and a strong desire to serve. I would like to thank my parents, Dianne and David Ward, for igniting my passion to serve. My work as a lawyer and political adviser later exposed me to the reality of the hardships faced by people from many different cultural and social backgrounds. That experience has only further ignited my desire to change things for the better. Many an inaugural speech has contained a moving quote by a revered member of this planet, and I am not going to disrupt the status quo—well, not tonight. It was Martin Luther King who said: Life's most persistent question is, "What are you doing for others?" More exciting than that statement was the resulting holiday in honour of King—a day of service where everyone stops to do something for someone else. King was right when he acknowledged that service makes the world a better place. I acknowledge the volunteers in this State. I acknowledge those in the Rural Fire Service [RFS] and Rotary clubs, on Parents and Citizens boards, lifesavers on patrol, and volunteers at local Shute Shield Rugby clubs—those who passionately commit themselves to their communities.

  • John Barilaro Brad Hazzard Deputy Premier Minister for Health and Medical Research
    Gladys Berejiklian Dominic Perrottet Premier of NSW Treasurer John Barilaro Brad Hazzard Deputy Premier Minister for Health and Medical Research MEDIA RELEASE Wednesday, 28 July 2021 CERTAINTY FOR THE COMMUNITY AS RESTRICTIONS ADJUSTED AND VACCINES RAMPED UP Given low vaccination rates, the current stay at home orders will remain in place for another four weeks (until Saturday, 28 August at 12.01am) across Greater Sydney including the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Shellharbour. This extra time will allow NSW residents to significantly increase the uptake of vaccines in areas most affected by the current outbreak and across the state. Premier Gladys Berejiklian said higher vaccination rates and following the health orders are the only way to guarantee the further easing of restrictions. “Though the Pfizer supply is insufficient there is plenty of AstraZeneca, and updated federal health advice recommends anyone aged 18 and over in Greater Sydney should access the jab,” Ms Berejiklian said. “If you are unvaccinated, please organise a jab as soon as you possibly can, especially if you live in an LGA of concern.” Other restriction changes are as follows: From midnight tonight (28 July): In line with exercise rules, Greater Sydney residents including the Central Coast, Blue Mountains, Wollongong and Shellharbour must limit their shopping to within their Local Government Area (LGA) or, if outside their LGA, within 10km from home, unless the item is not available locally. Given localised case numbers, the Parramatta, Campbelltown and Georges River LGAs will join the five existing LGAs of concern which are subject to an Authorised Workers Order.

Yasmin Catley MP; The Rt Hon the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Councillor Clover Moore Dear Premier Re: Reopening support for night time industries We write in furtherance of our letters dated 12 and 23 July 2021, with thanks for the support provided to the highly-impacted industries that the Night Time Industries Association (“NTIA”) represents - being hospitality, events and performance, arts, culture, retail and their supply chains. With public funds starting to find their way into private business bank accounts and the reintroduction of mandated rent relief for eligible commercial tenants - for which we thank you - we now turn our attention to the reopening of these industries as safely, efficiently and quickly as possible. In this, we are seeking more clarity on what the roadmap to recovery looks like, as well as reopening principles and support specifically targeted at these highly-impacted industries, which have experienced extreme adverse economic and personal impacts due to the lockdown. It is our understanding that confidence is at an all-time low since the onset of COVID-19.

  • Here Is a Strong Desire for an ‘App” to Allow the Public to Easily See Which Beaches Are Crowded And/Or Closed to Further Visitors
    on these spaces increase over the coming months, councils seek two specific actions from the NSW Government to ensure the safety of our communities. Firstly, we request that the NSW Government develop and fund a Beaches and Open Spaces Communications Strategy and Campaign, in consultation with councils, NSW public service agencies and Surf Life Saving NSW. A state led campaign is needed to raise public awareness of the need to be COVID-safe at beaches and popular public spaces, aware of public health order requirements that apply and conscious that they should not attend locations that are already at or nearing capacity. Materials from the Communications Strategy would be used by local governments, Surf Life Saving NSW, NSW Police and other NSW public service agencies to promote public awareness of how Public Health Orders apply to our beaches, and what we can all do, together, to keep these public spaces open for longer as the weather warms and COVID continues. As part of this, there is a strong desire for an ‘App” to allow the public to easily see which beaches are crowded and/or closed to further visitors. The meeting agreed that the suitability of the SLSNSW App as a tool for communicating beach crowding and capacity to the public on a large scale basis should be considered. Government investment in providing an App or helping to modify the SLSNSW app would be appreciated, and it may be an area where Service NSW could assist. Consistent communication about the state’s beaches and improved understanding and compliance by the public would reduce the need for NSW Police to intervene and enforce Public Health Orders on our beaches, and support councils and Surf Life Saving NSW to best manage these spaces in high demand times, allowing them to remain open.
