The Parliament acted in response to increased concern about drive-by shootings. The controversial nature of the new consorting law was acknowledged by Parliament in requiring the NSW Ombudsman to prepare this report about the first three years of the operation of the new consorting law. The new consorting law makes it a criminal offence for a person to continue to associate or communicate with people who have been previously convicted of an indictable offence, after receiving an official police warning.

  • The Hon. Sco Morrison MP Prime Minister of Australia Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 2 November, 2020 Dear Prim
    The Hon. Sco Morrison MP Prime Minister of Australia Parliament House Canberra ACT 2600 2 November, 2020 Dear Prime Minister, We write to express our professional concern about the ramifications of the failure of the Hon Angus Taylor MP to fulfil his responsibilities of the office of the Minister for Emissions Reduction. We are health and medical professionals, organisations and supporters bearing witness to the harm Mr Taylor’s failure to reduce emissions is causing to the health of Australians. We are also united by our concern about the climate crisis and the impact it is having on the safety and wellbeing of Australians and our neighbours. Public health is inextricably linked to climate health. Climate damage is here now — and it is killing people. In failing in his responsibilities to reduce emissions, Mr Taylor is contributing towards rather than reducing the harm the following is now causing: There is already a noticeable impact from increased frequency and intensity of bushfires, floods, dust storms, drought and extreme heat, biodiversity decline, and over-allocation, reduced quality and increased salinisation of freshwater in Australia . i As a result, Australians are already seeing higher rates of respiratory illness, ii diarrhoea iii and morbidity requiring hospital admission iv during hot days, and higher rates of suicide in rural areas during drought years. The burning of fossil fuels such as coal and gas that drives global warming is also a major contributor to air pollution - this silent killer is linked to the premature deaths of 3,000 Australians each year. Higher levels of air pollution are also associated with 1 / increasing illness and death related to ischaemic heart disease, chronic obstructive airways disease, lung cancer and asthma, v, vi and also with adverse outcomes in pregnancy, including low birthweight and stillbirth.
