Mr Deputy-Speaker (Mr John Charles Price) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Deputy-Speaker offered the Prayer. AUDIT OFFICE Mr Deputy-Speaker tabled, pursuant to section 38E of the Public Finance and Audit Act 1983, Performance Audit Report entitled "e-Government: User-friendliness of Websites", dated June 2002. Ordered to be printed. CRIMES AMENDMENT (POLICE AND OTHER LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS) BILL MINING LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (HEALTH AND SAFETY) BILL Bills received and read a first time. BILL RETURNED The following bill was returned from the Legislative Council with amendments: Property, Stock and Business Agents Bill Consideration of amendments deferred. PARLIAMENTARY REMUNERATION AMENDMENT (RECOGNISED OFFICE HOLDER) BILL Second Reading Debate resumed from 18 June. Mr TINK (Epping) [10.04 a.m.]: The Opposition accepts the Government's reasoning in support of the bill and does not oppose it. Mr TORBAY (Northern Tablelands) [10.05 a.m.]: I have read with interest the public comments about this legislation. I fail to understand the reasons for it, other than to assume that both the Government and the Opposition have come to an arrangement of not following the rules that have previously been put in place. In other words, when something happens that requires a change of rules to meet certain circumstances, the parties get together and make an arrangement. As an Independent member of this Parliament I oppose the bill and indicate clearly that I do not think there has been enough public debate in this Chamber on it.

(042) 270926 of previous week 26 July 1988 University Receives Superb Gift of Japanese Works of Art Professor Howard Worner, CBE, Director of the Microwave Applications Research Centre at the University, has presented the University with a superb collection of Japanese works of art. The collection includes prints and original works by leading Japanese artists from the 18th century to contemporary times. Most of the works were presented to Professor Worner—an admirer of oriental art—during his term of office as the Chairman of the Victorian Brown Coal Coimcil. The exquisite nature of the collection is an indication of the high esteem in which he was held by the Japanese. Professor Worner is interested in contributing to other aspects of the University community apart from science and engineering. He is of course playing a pioneering role in the development of microwave energy. And he is also providing funds for an annual sculpture competition, with the winning works to be permanently displayed on the campus. John Eveleigh, Senior Lecturer in the School of Creative Arts, writes: 'By any standard, to be an active, innovative leader of a Professor Howard Worner CBE with one of his presentation works university microwave applications research team, Howard Worner, in his mid-seventies, is an exceptional human Fuji was in Claude Monet's house at Giverny, in France. being.
