Stronger Country Communities Applications 41k Premier NSW--- GOVERNMENT & Cabinet Ref: A3776112 Mr David Blunt Clerk of the Parliaments Legislative Council Parliament House Macquarie Street Sydney NSW 2000 Dear Mr Blunt Order for Papers - Stronger Country Communities applications I refer to the above resolution of the Legislative Council under Standing Order 52 made on 5 August 2020 and your correspondence of 6 August 2020. I am now delivering to you documents referred to in that resolution. The documents have been obtained from: • Office of the Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW, Industry and Trade • Department of Premier and Cabinet (DPC). I note that DPC has not been able to produce all documents within the time available and will provide a second tranche of documents by 16 September 2020. Enclosed at Annexure 1 are certification letters from the following officers certifying that, to the best of their knowledge, either all documents held and covered by the terms of the resolution and that are lawfully required to be provided have been provided, or that no documents are held: Chief of Staff of the Office of the Premier Chief of Staff of the Office of the Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW, Industry and Trade Chief of Staff of the Office of the Minister for Local Government Secretary of NSW Treasury Secretary of the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE). Enclosed at Annexure 2 is an index of all the non-privileged documents that have been provided in response to the resolution. In accordance with Item 5(a) of Standing Order 52, those documents for which a claim for privilege has been made have been separately indexed and the case for privilege has been noted. Enclosed at Annexure 3 is an index of all privileged documents and submissions in support of the case for privilege. I note that submissions in support of a claim of privilege may sometimes reveal information that is privileged. To the extent that they do, such submissions should be considered to be subject to the same confidentiality as the documents over which the privilege claim is made. 52 Martin Place, Sydney NSW 2000 • GPO Box 5341, SYDNEY NSW 2001 Tel: (02) 9228 5555 • www.dpc.nsw.gov.au · I note that on 1 July ·2019, all persons employed in DPC who were principally involved in the administration of legislation allocated to the Deputy Premier, Minister for Regional New South Wales, Industry and Trade, including the provision of support for the portfolio responsibilities of that Minister, were transferred from DPC to OPIE pursuant to clause 21 of the Administrative Arrangements (Administrative Changes - Public Service Agencies) Order 2019. On 1 May 2020, those staff were transferred from OPIE to Regional NSW pursuant to clause 8 of the Administrative Arrangements (Administrative Changes - Regional NSW and Independent Planning Commission) Order 2020. Under the terms of a Memorandum of Understanding between DPC and Regional NSW, Regional NSW is permitted to use DPC's electronic document management system to store its records. I note that Regional NSW is responsible to the Deputy Premier, Minister for Regional NSW, Industry and Trade, and is responsible for the administration of the Stronger Country Communities Fund (SCCF), but is not named in the resolution of 5 August 2020. This may have been an oversight, as Regional NSW was named in a previous resolution under Standing Order 52 in relation to the SCCF and returned over 100 documents to the House under that resolution on 24 June 2020.

  • Nationals Boycott of Joint Party Room a Charade
    8 September, 2020 Nationals Boycott of Joint Party Room a Charade The NSW Nationals threat to go to the crossbench over the Koala SEPP guidelines and new tree protection laws is more smoke and mirrors led by Clarence MP Chris Gulaptis and has now engulfed the whole party in a political charade, orchestrated by the Nationals leader John Barilaro. “On one hand we have the Premier waxing lyrical about how great it is to be a “progressive green tory,” whilst the Nationals pretend to advocate for coastal bush seats,” Robert Borsak, leader of the Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party said. National party ministers, Melinda Pavey, Adam Marshall and John Barilaro rubber-stamped the Koala SEPP and snuck it through during the catastrophic Black Summer bushfires. For the Nationals to pretend they weren’t complicit in its implementation is a lie to the people they allegedly represent. “How can anyone in the bush take the Nationals seriously when they have to beg for their supper from a Liberal elite that takes them and their electorates for granted,” Mr Borsak said. “If the Nationals want to be taken seriously Mr Barilaro should resign his position as Deputy Premier, quit his portfolios and lead all the Nationals to the crossbench. “Whatever happened to the boast that the Nationals are “at the Cabinet table” and “have their hand on the cheque book”, if this were true their current charade would not be necessary,” said Mr Borsak. The Koala SEPP grossly infringes on the freedom of our farmers and property owners and does so using flawed science.

The Speaker read the prayer and acknowledgement of country. [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.
