Yasmin Catley MP; The Rt Hon the Lord Mayor of Sydney, Councillor Clover Moore Dear Premier Re: Reopening support for night time industries We write in furtherance of our letters dated 12 and 23 July 2021, with thanks for the support provided to the highly-impacted industries that the Night Time Industries Association (“NTIA”) represents - being hospitality, events and performance, arts, culture, retail and their supply chains. With public funds starting to find their way into private business bank accounts and the reintroduction of mandated rent relief for eligible commercial tenants - for which we thank you - we now turn our attention to the reopening of these industries as safely, efficiently and quickly as possible. In this, we are seeking more clarity on what the roadmap to recovery looks like, as well as reopening principles and support specifically targeted at these highly-impacted industries, which have experienced extreme adverse economic and personal impacts due to the lockdown. It is our understanding that confidence is at an all-time low since the onset of COVID-19.

  • A Labor Government Will 'Civilise the Place', Says Leader Michael Daley
    A Labor government will 'civilise the place', says leader Michael Daley SMH 12 January 2019 Deborah Snow and Alexandra Smith Michael Daley is a self-declared "fish man". Two of the shimmering creatures swim languidly in a small tank in his Parliament House office – the corner suite he took over from Luke Foley when his predecessor flamed out last year. Inside his Maroubra electorate office, his personal study strains to accommodate a five-foot tank, where several venerable specimens are now 20 years old. At home there are more fish (in his young daughter’s bedroom – they’re "forbidden" in the lounge-room), as well as two dogs and a mini rainforest in the backyard populated with frogs, skinks and the odd blue-tongue lizard. Self-confessed "fish man" NSW Opposition Leader Michael Daley in his office at Parliament House. CREDIT: DOMINIC LORRIMER Daley’s father John came from dairy farming stock and he was taught from childhood to "treat animals as individuals," he says. "It's a respect for life - I think that's where the fish come from. I like living things, I like creatures, I like the environment." One suspects it takes a particular kind of patience to keep fish alive for two decades – the same patience, perhaps, that allows you to bide your time to become party leader, having played bridesmaid or runner-up for close to eight years. Daley, now 53, was first talked of as possible successor to the state’s last Labor premier, Kristina Keneally, when she led the party to a crushing defeat in 2011.

  • The Social Justice Newsletter for March 2021
    Welcome to the Social Justice Newsletter for March 2021 New Vinnies NSW report reveals... Inadequate income support payments create reliance on charities according to a new report released by the St Vincent de Paul Society NSW this morning. The report, which shows that the introduction of the coronavirus supplement corresponded with a 75% drop in calls for assistance, comes as the Federal Government looks to pass legislation that will see the JobSeeker rate drop back to less than $44/day. The report shows that calls for assistance have already begun climbing back up as the coronavirus supplement has been cut. From the end of this month, the supplement – currently $150/fortnight – will be removed entirely, while the base rate will be permanently increased by $25/week. This is less than half the amount recommended by the Henry Tax review more than a decade ago. The report shows the extent to which people on JobSeeker need help from charities in order to make ends meet. They account for one in three people who ask the Society for help, and the most common thing they need is food. “If JobSeeker truly is aimed at helping people get back into the workforce, it needs to provide them with resources enough to cover the basics first,” Brooke Simmons, St Vincent de Paul Vice President – Social Justice, said. The Society will continue to call on the Federal Government to increase JobSeeker above the poverty line, including through our support of the Raise the Rate campaign. If you’d like to get involved, you can join a meeting for grassroots and community supporters on Wednesday 24 March, 1pm-2.30pm AEDT.
