    SPECIAL ADJOURNMENT Page: 20933 The Hon. JOHN HATZISTERGOS (Attorney General, Minister for Citizenship, Minister for Regulatory Reform, and Vice-President of the Executive Council) [5.00 p.m.]: I move: That this House at its rising today do adjourn until Tuesday 9 March 2010 at 2.30 p.m. The PRESIDENT: I remind members that the Hon. Shaoquett Moselmane is about to make his inaugural speech. I ask members to respect the tradition in this Chamber of extending to the member the courtesy of being heard in silence. The Hon. SHAOQUETT MOSELMANE [5.01 p.m.] (Inaugural Speech): With the indulgence of honourable members I rise to deliver my inaugural speech, and in doing so, I pay tribute to the traditional owners of this land, the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, particularly the elders, past and present. I wish to acknowledge the presence of my family, who continue to be my foundation and whose support strengthens my resolve to achieve every single day. Also in the public gallery are many distinguished friends who have come to lend their support. Thank you, one and all. It is a great honour and a privilege to stand here in this historic place representing the Australian Labor Party—a Labor Party that represents a history of commitment to giving all Australians a fair go regardless of race, colour or religion. I am deeply conscious of this responsibility, and I am aware of the community and media interest that I have attained as the first Australian of Arabic-Lebanese-Muslim heritage to enter Australia's oldest Parliament.

INDEPENDENT COMMISSION AGAINST CORRUPTION AMENDMENT BILL Message received from the Legislative Assembly agreeing to the Legislative Council's amendment. PRIVILEGES COMMITTEE Report: Person Referred to in the Legislative Council (Ms S. Scheff) Motion by the Hon. Peter Primrose agreed to: That the House adopt report No. 29 of the Privileges Committee, entitled "Report on Person Referred to in the Legislative Council (Ms S. Scheff)", dated April 2005." Pursuant to standing orders the response of Ms Scheff was incorporated. _____ Reply to comments by the Hon John Hatzistergos MLC as Minister for Justice in the Legislative Council on 26 October 2004 The following comments are provided in response to statements made by the Hon John Hatzistergos on 26 October 2004 during question time. The statements referred to The Australian Prisoners’ Election Newspaper of which I am the editor. In addition, I am referred to and identified in the following statement: Following that complaint a summons was issued in the Supreme Court by a person whose name I often see in relation to such matters but I can never remember, no matter how many times I see it and even though it is in front of me at the moment. I believe that the statements made by Mr Hatzistergos damage my reputation as the editor of the newspaper because they inaccurately represent the circumstances surrounding the Supreme Court action and the content of the newspaper.

    Full Day Hansard Transcript (Legislative Council, 24 March 2009, Proof) Proof Extract from NSW Legislative Council Hansard and Papers Tuesday, 24 March 2009 (Proof). LAW ENFORCEMENT (POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES) AMENDMENT (SEARCH POWERS) BILL 2009 Second Reading The Hon. JOHN HATZISTERGOS (Attorney General, and Minister for Industrial Relations) [3.48 p.m.]: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. I seek leave to have the second reading speech incorporated in Hansard. Leave granted. The Government is pleased to introduce the Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Amendment (Search Powers) Bill 2009. The bill introduces a scheme for a new class of search warrant—the covert search warrant—to assist police and other law enforcement agencies in the investigation of serious criminal offences, and creates new search warrant powers in relation to the examination of computers. The bill is part of the New South Wales Government's ongoing commitment to providing law enforcement agencies with the necessary armoury to respond effectively to major crime and keep the community safe. The essential feature of the new covert search warrant scheme is the power to enter and search premises without the occupier's knowledge and delay the subsequent notification to the occupier. The use of covert search warrants is not intended to be an everyday event. In addition to the legislative restrictions of the scheme, which I will expand upon shortly, covert search warrants will not be necessary in many cases. Furthermore, the execution of a covert search warrant is considerably resource intensive and logistically difficult. Surveillance teams are required to ensure that the occupier is elsewhere, a covert entry to the house must be made, the area needs to be monitored to ensure that the occupier does not return, and so on.
