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.

Sitrep 25/2020
SitRep 25/2020 Wage Cut Regulation stopped in Parliament – Now what? A disallowance motion was passed in the Legislative Council on Tuesday to stop the Berejiklian Government cutting public sector worker’s wages. It should Be noted who supported the disallowance motion. In Support: Australian Labor Party - Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party - The Greens - One Nation - Animal Justice Party - Independent Justin Field. Those Against: Liberal Party - The Nationals - Christian Democratic Party. Knowing the motion to stop the regulation to cut our wages was going to Be passed, the Government changed their attack and are now arguing in the Industrial Relations Commission that the Government’s Wages Policy is not a guaranteed 2.5% but anything up to 2.5%. No douBt if this argument is entertained By the IRC the Government will Be offering 0% in Award negotiations to public sector unions when bargaining starts. We are keeping a close eye on a numBer of different award negotiations which are currently Before the IRC and we are in touch with the relevant unions involved. More to follow. Overpayments – Reminder Further to SitRep 20/2020 and 24/2020, FRNSW have completed a series of audits relating to retained members wages during the fire season and were to inform members of alleged overpayments and underpayments. If you have received a notice of overpayment – please do not, in the first instance, sign the agreement. Please contact the HR person in the notice and arrange to have a discussion or explanation of the calculations. Following this if you still have concerns please contact the FBEU office and let us know.

Looking Back at the Years of Campaigning to Achieve Legal Voluntary Assisted Dying in NSW
Looking back at the years of campaigning to achieve Legal Voluntary Assisted Dying in NSW A talk to Dying with Dignity NSW Central Coast Group on 17 August 2018 Richard Mills, Former President, DWDnsw What I am going to look at today: The 2013 campaign: what DWDnsw did and what we learned; The 2017 campaign: some major points; and The institutional influence of the Churches, the doctors and the politicians, and what we can do. The 2013 Campaign In September 2010, a Greens Member of the Legislative Council, Cate Faehrmann, moved to introduce a Private Member's Bill called “The Rights of the Terminally Ill Bill”. It remained at the bottom of the list until May 2013, when, surprisingly, the Government allowed the Bill to be debated. Here was a real test for DWDnsw. A number of things were encouraging. DWDnsw already had close relations with Cate. She had facilitated our annual Parliamentary Forum, and we had been active in advising her on all aspects of her Bill. The latest opinion poll reaffirmed what we already knew. Over 80 per cent of Australians supported voluntary euthanasia for terminally ill patients. The independent think-tank Australia21 had just released a thorough report calling on Australia’s parliaments to embrace assisted dying. There was pressure for law reform in other States, especially South Australia and Tasmania. Overseas, the Canadian province Quebec had announced it would introduce a law to recognise aid in dying as a legal and protected medical practice. A number of legislatures in the United States had assisted dying Bills up for debate, and in Massachusetts, a citizens’ initiative had just failed by the barest of margins - 51% to 49% - to approve an assisted dying law.
