D. E. Nicholson, Murrumba) read prayers and took the chair at 11 a.m. QUESTIONS AVAILABILITY OF COPIES OF WORKERS' COMPENSATION ACTS Mr. Houston, pursuant to notice, asked The Treasurer,- Are "The Workers' Compensation Acts, 1916 to 1965" being consolidated and printed? If so, when is it expected that copies will be available for public purchase and what provision has been made to satisfy the needs of people who require copies at present? Answer:- "Conso!idation of the Workers' Com­ pensation Acts has been completed. The Regulations under the Acts, including recent amendments of Regulations, are being included in the publication to make it as up to date as possible. I am advised that every possible effort is being made with the printing and issue of the consoli­ dated publication so that it will be available as early as possible. Although copies of the Acts are not at present available, an excellent booklet obtainable from the State Government Insurance Office free of cost sets out concise, up-to-date information concerning a worker's entitlement to compensation. I am assured by the general manager of the State Government Insurance Office that he will be only too pleased to furnish any further details concerning the Acts, should any Honourable Member so request."

  • Appendix 3G Further Perspectives on the Financial Benefits of Local Government Amalgamations
    3G-1 Appendix 3G Further Perspectives on the Financial Benefits of Local Government Amalgamations Appendix 3G has five sections which support the section in Chapter 3 on estimates of the financial benefits of local government amalgamations. The first section further examines the KPMG estimates that savings of up to $845 million per annum could be achieved in NSW through local government amalgamations. This first section also includes a critique of the KPMG estimates by Judith McNeill. The second section presents a Darwinian survival perspective to the debate on the preferred sizes of local governments. The third section briefly discusses the self-limiting effect whereby the strength of the argument in favour of local government amalgamations must in some senses diminish with each successfully achieved amalgamation. The fourth section, in Table 3G-3, provides a compilation of extracts from 113 Australian and international literature sources which provide valuable insights on the local government amalgamation debate generally and which appear to provide important lessons for this current study. KPMG's Financial Benefit Estimates Consultants KPMG explored four local government amalgamation options, and establishes estimates of cost savings possible through each of these options, in a 1998 report prepared for the Property Council of NSW. Table 3G-1 below summarises the key findings in this report, where savings estimates are based on 1995-96 data.

    A Appendix A: Committee visits to remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities As part of the Committee’s inquiry into remote Indigenous community stores the Committee visited seventeen communities, all of which had a distinctive culture, history and identity. The Committee began its community visits on 30 March 2009 travelling to the Torres Strait and the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland over four days. In late April the Committee visited communities in Central Australia over a three day period. Final consultations were held in Broome, Darwin and various remote regions in the Northern Territory including North West Arnhem Land. These visits took place in July over a five day period. At each location the Committee held a public meeting followed by an open forum. These meetings demonstrated to the Committee the importance of the store in remote community life. The Committee appreciated the generous hospitality and evidence provided to the Committee by traditional owners and elders, clans and families in all the remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait communities visited during the inquiry. The Committee would also like to thank everyone who assisted with the administrative organisation of the Committee’s community visits including ICC managers, Torres Strait Councils, Government Business Managers and many others within the communities. A brief synopsis of each community visit is set out below.1 1 Where population figures are given, these are taken from a range of sources including 2006 Census data and Grants Commission figures. 158 EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS Torres Strait Islands The Torres Strait Islands (TSI), traditionally called Zenadth Kes, comprise 274 small islands in an area of 48 000 square kilometres (kms), from the tip of Cape York north to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia.
