MINISTRY Mr BOB CARR: In the absence of the Minister for Health, I will answer questions on his behalf. LEGISLATION REVIEW COMMITTEE Report Mr Barry Collier, as Chairman, tabled the report entitled "Legislation Review Digest No 7 of 2004", dated 11 May 2004. QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE ______ GOULBURN BASE HOSPITAL WOUND CLINIC PATIENT TREATMENT Mr JOHN BROGDEN: My question without notice is directed to the Premier. How does he defend the treatment of Jean Campbell, a patient at Goulburn Base Hospital wound clinic, who, for a period of more than two months, was forced to take home her used bandages for her leg ulcers and wash them before returning to the clinic to have the same bandages reapplied? Why was she not given new bandages? Mr BOB CARR: I will seek advice from the health department on that issue. The management of the area health service has recently received more than $1 million in additional funding. The Government required the resignation of the chair of the area health service board and there has been a comprehensive management clearout. Mr SPEAKER: Order! Before I call on the honourable member for Strathfield I warn the House early that I will not tolerate members yelling out from their seats in a deliberate attempt to interrupt the flow of proceedings. Members will show the House some respect and the Premier and Ministers answering questions will be treated with decorum. I warn members early that they will be called to order if the behaviour we have just witnessed persists. 11 May 2004 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY 8701 SEXUAL ASSAULT PROCEEDINGS Ms VIRGINIA JUDGE: My question without notice is directed to the Attorney General. What is the latest information on alternative arrangements for victims giving evidence in sexual assault proceedings? Mr BOB DEBUS: A number of recent high-profile cases have brought into sharp relief the distress experienced by victims giving evidence in sexual assault proceedings and the potential for that distress to be intensified when a case is set out down for retrial. The question is how to ameliorate that distress without enhancing the risk of further legal challenge or undermining the credibility of the complainant in the eyes of the jury. There are both practical and legal questions to overcome in bringing about any reform in this most difficult area. The Government has previously moved to improve protection for victims of sexual assault in various ways, including putting in place arrangements for the provision of closed-circuit television in sexual assault cases involving children, greatly increasing the number of witness officers available to support victims of crime, restricting cross-examination in committal proceedings, piloting a new sexual assault jurisdiction for child assault cases in Sydney west and Dubbo and, most recently, prohibiting cross-examination of victims by unrepresented accused. Building on the experience gained during the reform of the child sexual assault jurisdiction, and following the recommendations of the Law Reform Commission of this State, I can advise the House that the Government is moving to enable adult victims of sexual assault to give evidence through the use of closed- circuit television [CCTV] and other alternative means. There is presently some capacity for adult complainants to give evidence through CCTV. However, it is a discretion that is exercised very rarely. The Government will move to create a presumption that a complainant who gives evidence in sexual assault proceedings has the ability to give evidence through a means such as CCTV and the complainant will be entitled to have a support person with him or her in court or in a remote witness facility. It is important to bear in mind that not all victims of sexual assault will wish to give evidence through means such as CCTV. Some of our most experienced prosecutors in sexual assault believe that the healing process for victims begins when they have faced their attackers in court. A powerful argument may be made that a jury gives much greater weight to the testimony of a witness that it has seen in person in court. Nevertheless, the best advice of experienced prosecutors

Mr SPEAKER: I acknowledge the Gadigal clan of the Eora nation and its elders and thank them for their custodianship of country. DISTINGUISHED VISITORS Mr SPEAKER: I welcome to the public gallery His Excellency Mr Kabir, the High Commissioner of Bangladesh, and Mrs Kabir, and Mr Anthony Khouri, the Consul-General of Bangladesh, who are guests of the honourable m embers for Macquarie Fields. FIRE BANS Ministerial Statement Mr MORRIS IEMMA (Lakemba—Premier, Minister for State Development, and Minister for Citizenship) [2.17 p.m.]: Total fire bans are again in place across most of the State today as firefighters battle a number of bushfires in the Blue Mountains, the Hunter Valley, Forbes, Oberon and the South Coast. Hot, dry and windy conditions have resulted in very high to extreme fire danger in many districts. Emergency declarations have been made for a number of the fires now burning. About 900 volunteer firefighters from the Rural Fire Service have been deployed, along with their colleagues from New South Wales Fire Brigades, Forests NSW and the National Parks and Wildlife Service. I acknowledge the employers of all of our volunteers for their ongoing support in allowing them to leave their workplaces to protect the community. The most serious of the fires are those currently burning in the Blue Mountains, where firefighters have been battling two bushfires in the Grose Valley for the past nine days.

  • The Slow Death of a Salesman
    The slow death of a salesman Authors: Deborah Snow, Andrew West, Publication: Sydney Morning Herald Mathew Moore & Damien Murphy Section: News Review Date: 13/09/2008 Pages: 28-29 Words: 4,010 Source: SMH Like Kevin Rudd, Nathan Rees's ambition was enough to put him above other would-be contenders for political leadership. To those outside politics, Nathan Rees's installation as Premier came as a bolt from the blue. But forces working against Morris Iemma had been gathering for months. As a number of Labor insiders tell it, his unwavering support for privatisation of the state's power industry was not the only cause of Iemma's downfall. The NSW Labor headquarters in Sussex Street, under the leadership of its secretary, Karl Bitar, 37, had tu rned against Iemma months before when his disapproval ratings soared. Iemma told colleagues he detected a change in Bitar's attitude towards him from about Christmas. "By March you could see that Morris was doing worse than the party," a source said. "The punters out there thought they had been conned; Morris came in as premier and said it was a new government. They had given him the benefit of the doubt and progress had not been made. So the electorate was pissed off." Against the drum-beat of the polls, the privatisation debate was growing steadily more bitter. Party bosses had kept a tight lid on the festering tensions over electricity during last year's federal election campaign. But once that was out of the way, all bets were off. "Karl Bitar and Joh n Robertson [the UnionsNSW boss] did nothing else from the Monday after the federal election until the state party conference in May except try to manage the electricity debate," said a source.

  • Nsw Government Supports Bid to Bring Back the Bears
    NSW GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS BID TO BRING BACK THE BEARS Monday 30 August 2010 The NSW Government has thrown its support behind the Central Coast community’s push to bring back the Central Coast Bears – investing $100,000 to support the club’s bid for a National Rugby League licence. The funding will allow the Bears to appoint a strategic business manager, who will develop a business case to press the NRL for the Bears to become the Central Coast’s Rugby League team. The project manager also will be involved in community consultation, market research, data and information collection and reporting on the overall economic and community benefits of securing a NRL licence. “The Central Coast is a region in its own right and we think it deserves its own team in the Rugby League,” NSW Premier Kristina Keneally said. “We’re proud to support the people of the Central Coast in their bid to bring back the Bears.” Local State Labor parliamentarians David Harris, Grant McBride and Marie Andrews welcomed the announcement. “The Central Coast is a fantastic place to work, live, and visit,” Mr Harris said. “The Central Coast is also among the top three “nursery” regions for junior rugby league – which means it plays a key role in the development of new players for the code. “A regional team in the NRL will further boost the profile of this great area, helping attract business and investment to the region.” “We’ve seen from the success of the Mariners what a strong local sporting team means to our community,” Ms Andrews said.
