  • Building a Better Normal Act Greens 2020 Policy Platform
    BUILDING A BETTER NORMAL ACT GREENS 2020 POLICY PLATFORM THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE IMPORTANT TIME TO BUILD A BETTER NORMAL. In these unprecedented times, the decisions we make now will shape the future of our society. If the bushfires and smoke over the summer, and now the COVID-19 pandemic have shown us anything, it's that business as usual cannot continue. While the old parties and status quo are seeking a return to normal, the ACT Greens have a plan to use this once in a lifetime opportunity to redress the inequalities and injustices inherent in our current systems—to build a better normal. This means bringing the same boldness, decisiveness and energy the ACT Greens brought to climate action to reimagining our community in a way that benefits everyone for decades to come. It’s clear that now is both the right time and the best opportunity to build a better normal, by ensuring everyone has a home, by greening our suburbs, acting on climate change, and providing meaningful secure work. Our community can achieve amazing things when we put our minds to it and work together. We know we need to make our environment and activities more sustainable, and our community and infrastructure more resilient. We’re at a critical moment, and have the opportunity to rewrite the rules to ensure a cleaner, greener community where everyone is supported to thrive. The ACT Greens play a unique role in the Australian political landscape and have been working hard over decades to set policies in the ACT that help shape a fair and sustainable future.

  • As the Hon. Jan Barham Is About to Make Her Inaugural Speech I Ask Honourable Members to Extend to Her the Usual Courtesies
    GOVERNOR'S SPEECH: ADDRESS-IN-REPLY The PRESIDENT: As the Hon. Jan Barham is about to make her inaugural speech I ask honourable members to extend to her the usual courtesies. The Hon. JAN BARHAM [5.21 p.m.] (Inaugural Speech): I acknowledge that this Parliament is on the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation and I offer my respect to the Elders past, present and future. I acknowledge that I am from the Bundjalung nation and the land of the Arakwal people and I pay my respects to those Elders, past and present, and the community members that I am proud to work with and to call friends. Today I speak in the House for the first time as one of six Greens members of the New South Wales Parliament. I acknowledge those members of The Greens who have served here before me. I congratulate all those who sit in this House. I have been privileged to work with my local Aboriginal community for over 15 years. Since 1994 I have had a close association with the Arakwal people and have worked in support of the long process that has led to the completion of three Indigenous land use agreements [ILUAs]. I congratulate the former Government and particularly former Premiers Carr and Iemma and Minister Debus on their commitment to the outcomes. I acknowledge also the long-term commitment of Ian Cohen. In 1994 he gave his word to support the Elders and he did. In 2007 I was honoured to be asked to officiate at an event at the Cape Byron headland where Premier Iemma acknowledged the finalisation of the Indigenous land use agreement stages two and three that advanced the negotiations with the State Government.

  • Komisaruk Family
    Komisaruk family Updated by Chaim Freedman 18/02/2020, to replace the material in his book “Eliyahu’s Branches, the Descendants of the Vilna Gaon and His Family”, Avotaynu 1997. Dov Ber (Berel) Komisaruk, born 1776 in Girtegola, Lithuania,1 (son of David Komisaruk [1747 - ] and Khana ?), died 1843 in Rassein, Lithuania.2 Oral tradition held that Berel came from a prominent family of scholars and communal leaders in Kovno. Lithuanian records prove that the family came from the city Rassein which was located in Kovno Gubernia (province).When the Jews were compelled to adopt a surname in 1804 Berel and his brothers or their father registered their surname as "Komisaruk". Later generations used various forms of this name: Komisaruk, Komesaroff, Komisar, Comisaroff, Comisarow. A full explanation of the reason for these variations and the historic basis for the family's activities in Rassein can be found in "Our Fathers' Harvest" (Chaim Freedman, Israel 1982, supplement 1990.) Berel Komisaruk and his family appear to have held a license to farm taxes which the local Jewish community was obliged to pay to the Russian government. In their case the particular tax was that due to the supply corp of the army, the Komisariat. This was probably the origin of this surname. Tradition claims some relationship with the famous Soloveitchik family of Kovno. Other than their common Levitic descent, this has not been established. The Soloveitchik family was amongst the founders of the Kovno community in the early 18th century. The 1816 Revision List for Rassein city includes two family groups with heads of family Leib, son of David Komisaruk and Velvel, son of David Komisaruk.

This article reports on an examination of the New South Wales (‘NSW’) Legislation Review Committee’s findings and recommendations in relation to all criminal law bills during the period 2010–12 and assesses the impact of the Committee’s recommendations on the passage of bills through the NSW Parliament. It considers whether the potential for scrutiny committees to play an effective role in delineating the legitimate boundaries of criminalisation is realised in practice.

Introduction 1.1 The Australian Greens recognise the right of every employee and volunteer to be able to attend work, participate in the Greens and to perform their duties without being subjected to any form of sexual harassment, intimidation or assault. It is the obligation and responsibility of every member of the organisation to ensure that the workplace, and our party activities, are free from sexual harassment. 1.2 The Australian Greens recognise that sexual harassment is unlawful and can be subject to criminal and civil sanctions. We also recognise that it limits the ability of people to participate fully in their workplaces, in organisations and in our democracy, and can have serious negative effects both on the health and wellbeing of the person targeted by the behaviour, and on the culture and morale of an organisation. 1.3 We are fully committed to eliminating sexual harassment in the workplace and in our party. This policy is designed to help us all achieve that aim. 2.
