Nurses, cleaners, police and reghters are among the 9757 public servants in the Riverina facing wage cuts. NSW Labor Leader Jodi McKay said the NSW Government had thanked the heroes who risked their lives and served NSW during the COVID-19 crisis with a pay cut. “This is a kick in the guts for people like health workers and teachers, bus and train drivers, cleaners, security guards and many more,” she said. “Our public servants have been heroes during the pandemic. They deserve a medal, not a pay cut.” Denise Zak agreed, saying the nurses state-wide are feeling hurt. Mrs Zak said the 2.5 per cent pay increase was aligned with the Consumer Price Index. “We work hard as nurses every day of the week but at the moment during this pandemic it has been very full on for us even in the regional areas with new protocols and practices we have had to embrace in a short time,” she said. “The police, ambulance and teachers are all in the same Livestock, Bulk and Rural Carriers Association president Paul Pulver at the opening of the new truck wash boat at the moment – all NSW nurses feel unsupported. at Red Hill Industrial Estate.

  • Modernised High Frequency Communications System – Riverina Node
    Modernised High Frequency Communications System – Riverina node Recommended Citation Richard Tanter, "Modernised High Frequency Communications System – Riverina node", Australian Defence Facilities, November 02, 2013, https://nautilus.org/briefing-books/australian-defen- e-facilities/modernised-high-frequency-communications-system-riverina-node/ Introduction The Department of Defence has a cluster of communications facilities in the region of Wagga Wagga in the NSW Riverina, including the transmitter and receiver and elements of the Riverina node of the Modernised High Frequency Communications System (MHFCS), described by the local council as “home to some of the most advanced communication technology in the world.”[i] The two facilities, constructed in 2000-2001, separated by about 50 kms, are used by a number of different elements of the Australian Defence Force. For the Australian Defence Signals Directorate (ASD - formerly Defence Signals Directorate), the location of the Morundah Receiving Station means it is a key part of its high frequency communications monitoring and interception capacities directed at foreign military and government targets. The transmitter facility is at Lyndoch on the Collingully – Lockhart road, 35.6 kms due west of Wagga Wagga.[ii] The receiver facility is on the northern side of the Morundah – Boree Creek Road 15.7 km southeast of Morundah.[iii] Both the transmitter and receiving stations are operated remotely from the Network Management Facility at HMAS Harman Canberra (and a backup at Russell Offices).[iv] [caption id="attachment_33355" align="aligncenter" width="850"] 1 Figure 1.

[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.

[Notices of motions given.] Private Members' Statements TRIBUTE TO SUPERINTENDENT JULIAN GRIFFITHS Ms ELENI PETINOS (Miranda) (12:13): I rise to discuss and farewell the outgoing commander from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command, Superintendent Julian Griffiths. Our local media has publicised that Superintendent Griffiths has been moved from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command into the St George Police Area Command. Those of us who have had the opportunity to work with the superintendent, and to know him well, are going to miss him dearly. Media reports have not captured that Superintendent Griffiths is a capable and competent commander who has always been dedicated to serving the local community. He has done that in his capacity as a superintendent of both the Sutherland Shire Local Area Command and the merged Sutherland Shire Police Area Command over the past six years. I was recently told a story about Superintendent Griffiths which highlights the depth of his care and the lengths that he has gone to for the community. It is about the recent fires in the western part of the shire, in Menai, Alfords Point and Barden Ridge.
