  • 2019 Nsw State Budget Estimates – Relevant Committee Members
    2019 NSW STATE BUDGET ESTIMATES – RELEVANT COMMITTEE MEMBERS There are seven “portfolio” committees who run the budget estimate questioning process. These committees correspond to various specific Ministries and portfolio areas, so there may be a range of Ministers, Secretaries, Deputy Secretaries and senior public servants from several Departments and Authorities who will appear before each committee. The different parties divide up responsibility for portfolio areas in different ways, so some minor party MPs sit on several committees, and the major parties may have MPs with titles that don’t correspond exactly. We have omitted the names of the Liberal and National members of these committees, as the Alliance is seeking to work with the Opposition and cross bench (non-government) MPs for Budget Estimates. Government MPs are less likely to ask questions that have embarrassing answers. Victor Dominello [Lib, Ryde], Minister for Customer Services (!) is the minister responsible for Liquor and Gaming. Kevin Anderson [Nat, Tamworth], Minister for Better Regulation, which is located in the super- ministry group of Customer Services, is responsible for Racing. Sophie Cotsis [ALP, Canterbury] is the Shadow for Better Public Services, including Gambling, Julia Finn [ALP, Granville] is the Shadow for Consumer Protection including Racing (!). Portfolio Committee no. 6 is the relevant committee. Additional information is listed beside each MP. Bear in mind, depending on the sitting timetable (committees will be working in parallel), some MPs will substitute in for each other – an MP who is not on the standing committee but who may have a great deal of knowledge might take over questioning for a session.

Peter Poulos Monday, 7 June 2021 Legislative Council Page 1 CORRECTED The CHAIR: Welcome to the hearing of the Regulation Committee's inquiry into environmental planning instruments. This inquiry is focusing on State environmental planning policies, or SEPPs. We are examining how SEPPs are made and whether the current requirements for making and scrutinising SEPPs are adequate, including whether they should be disallowable by Parliament. Before I commence, I would like to acknowledge the Gadigal people, who are the traditional custodians of this land. I would also like to pay respect to the Elders past, present and emerging of the Eora nation and extend that respect to other First Nations people present. Today we will hear from a number of legal groups and peak and environmental bodies as well as the New South Wales Government. Before we commence I would like to make some brief comments about the procedures for today's hearing. Today's hearing is being broadcast live via the Parliament's website. A transcript of today's hearing will be placed on the Committee's website when it becomes available. In accordance with the broadcast guidelines, media representatives are reminded that they must take responsibility for what they publish about the Committee's proceedings.

  • 1 20 July 2020 the Honourable G
    20 July 2020 The Honourable G. Berejiklian Premier of New South Wales 52 Martin Place Sydney, 2000 NSW MODERN SLAVERY ACT 2018 SHOULD COME INTO FORCE Dear Premier Berejiklian, We, the under-signed 76 organisations, representatives and 40 individuals, urge you as leader of the Government of NSW to expedite the passage of this Act so that it can be brought into force on 1 January 2021, as recommended by the Inquiry Report submitted by the Standing Committee on Social Issues on 25 March 2020. Bringing the Act into effect on 1 January 2021 represents an avoidable delay of two and a half years since the original Act was passed and assented. In that time, hundreds of thousands if not millions of people, both here in Australia and internationally, will have been deceived into a life of slavery. It is imperative that the Act is not delayed any longer. The Standing Committee recognises that the NSW Modern Slavery Act is an important addition to the Commonwealth Act. This legislation positions NSW as a world leader in addressing modern slavery and in the wake of COVID-19 should inform your Government’s job creation initiatives to create better working conditions and prevent the scourge of modern slavery here and overseas. The Inquiry’s recommendations have received broad support, and there appears to be no reason why the legislative amendments cannot be drafted as a matter of urgency and brought before the Legislative Council and Assembly without further delay. Research is clear that with more people out of work, more people will be prepared or pressured to accept lower workplace standards.

    News Former detective, vegan bodybuilder snatch final spots Lisa Visentin 435 words 16 April 2019 The Sydney Morning Herald SMHH First 2 English © 2019 Copyright John Fairfax Holdings Limited. Upper House A retired police detective and a vegan bodybuilder will enter the NSW Parliament as new MPs for One Nation and the Animal Justice Party, after results for the upper house were finalised yesterday. Rod Roberts, a former police sergeant from Goulburn, became the second One Nation MP elected to the Legislative Council after he scraped into the 21st and final seat after preferences were distributed yesterday. Mr Roberts, who retired from the NSW police force in 2000 and now runs a small business in workplace safety, said he was "nervous and excited" about his new career. A self-described former Liberal voter, Mr Roberts said he joined One Nation because the Liberal Party "have moved away from their core values". "I believe One Nation speaks for the common man, the everyday person in the street," Mr Roberts said after learning of his election. Mr Roberts was elected from the second spot on the One Nation ticket, which was led by party leader Mark Latham. "Mark and I are good friends. We've only [got to] know each other over the last eight or nine months but I believe we've formed a good relationship." Mr Roberts said he counted One Nation's federal leader Pauline Hanson as a "very, very good friend". He said his two-decade-long career as a police detective - over the course of which he says he led investigations into murders and kidnappings - left him well-placed to negotiate with other parties.

    REPORT ON PROCEEDINGS BEFORE STANDING COMMITTEE ON STATE DEVELOPMENT URANIUM MINING AND NUCLEAR FACILITIES (PROHIBITIONS) REPEAL BILL 2019 CORRECTED At Macquarie Room, Parliament House, Sydney, on Monday 11 November 2019 The Committee met at 9:15 PRESENT The Hon. Taylor Martin (Chair) The Hon. Mark Banasiak The Hon. Mark Buttigieg The Hon. Wes Fang The Hon. Scott Farlow The Hon. Mark Latham The Hon. Natasha Maclaren-Jones The Hon. Mick Veitch (Deputy Chair) Monday, 11 November 2019 Legislative Council Page 1 The CHAIR: Welcome to the first hearing of the uranium mining. The inquiry has been established to inquire into the Uranium Mining and Nuclear Facilities (Prohibitions) Repeal Bill 2019. The object of this bill is to repeal the ban on uranium mining in New South Wales, which has been in place since the enactment of the Uranium Mining and Nuclear Facilities (Prohibitions) Act 1986. This inquiry is a fact-finding mission to consider if New South Wales should investigate the viability of nuclear power as an energy source. Before I commence, I acknowledge the Gadigal people, who are the traditional custodians of this land. I also pay respect to the Elders, past and present, of the Eora nation and extend that respect to other Aboriginals present. Today we will hear from a panel of witnesses representing NuScale power, SMR Technology and the Energy Policy Institute of Australia. I do not believe that is accurate. That may apply to the previous hearing. Before we commence, I will make some brief comments about the procedures for today's hearing. Today's hearing is open to the public and is being broadcast live via Parliament's website.
