Anzac Bridge maintenance It is 15 years since the Anzac Bridge opened to traffi c and the RTA has pre- pared a maintenance program to ensure its effective operation in the future. The RTA proposes to: * Install temporary lifts, scaffolding and work platforms to undertake the maintenance work. * Install permanent access systems (gantries) to hard-to-reach parts of the bridge, such as the underside of the deck and bridge towers.

I would like to thank officials responsible for Crown Lands for the provision of information and personal briefings that have facilitated a very smooth transition. The term of the previous Trust Board expired on 26 May 2016. From 27 May 2016 pursuant to the Crown Lands Act 1989, the Minister Responsible for Crown Lands appointed an Administrator in the absence of a Trust Board. My appointment as Administrator commenced on 27 August 2016 for a period of two years. In August 2018, I was appointed Land Manager Administrator for a further 12 month term commencing on 27 August 2018. Following the Government’s decision in November 2016 to enable Greyhound Racing to continue in NSW, activities at Wentworth Park have entered a period of stability and of “business as usual”. Our relationship with the holder of the licence deed to conduct greyhound race meetings, the Greyhound Breeders Owners and Trainers Associa- tion has remained very positive.

    Chapter 1 Introduction Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? Section 1.2: Problems of sex, gender and parliament Section 1.3: Gender and the Parliament, 1995-1999 Section 1.4: Expectations on female MPs Section 1.5: Outline of the thesis Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? The Sydney Morning Herald of 27 August 1925 reported the first speech given by a female Member of Parliament (hereafter MP) in New South Wales. In the Legislative Assembly on the previous day, Millicent Preston-Stanley, Nationalist Party Member for the Eastern Suburbs, created history. According to the Herald: ‘Miss Stanley proceeded to illumine the House with a few little shafts of humour. “For many years”, she said, “I have in this House looked down upon honourable members from above. And I have wondered how so many old women have managed to get here - not only to get here, but to stay here”. The Herald continued: ‘The House figuratively rocked with laughter. Miss Stanley hastened to explain herself. “I am referring”, she said amidst further laughter, “not to the physical age of the old gentlemen in question, but to their mental age, and to that obvious vacuity of mind which characterises the old gentlemen to whom I have referred”. Members obviously could not afford to manifest any deep sense of injury because of a woman’s banter. They laughed instead’. Preston-Stanley’s speech marks an important point in gender politics. It introduced female participation in the Twenty-seventh Parliament. It stands chronologically midway between the introduction of responsible government in the 1850s and the Fifty-first Parliament elected in March 1995.
