OF THE SPEAKER The Clerk announced the absence of the Speaker. The Deputy-Speaker (The Hon. Thomas George), in the absence of the Speaker, took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Deputy-Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Notices of Motions General Business Notices of Motions (General Notices) given. DEATH OF THE HONOURABLE GERALD BERESFORD PONSONBY PEACOCKE, A FORMER MINISTER OF THE CROWN AND MEMBER FOR DUBBO The ASSISTANT-SPEAKER (Mr Andrew Fraser): I acknowledge in the gallery Mr Duncan Beresford Peacocke and his sister, Mrs Jane Beresford Lynch nee Peacocke, son and daughter of the late Gerald Beresford Ponsonby Peacocke, a former member for Dubbo. I also extend the condolences of the House to his family who are unable to be here today and who are spread across the State and the world: wife, Nancy Mabel Peacocke, and children Samuel Beresford Peacocke, Catherine Beresford Peacocke, Benjamin Beresford Peacocke and Angus Beresford Peacocke. Mr ANDREW STONER (Oxley—Deputy Premier, Minister for Trade and Investment, and Minister for Regional Infrastructure and Services) [10.08 a.m.]: I move: That this House extends to the family the deep sympathy of members of the Legislative Assembly in the loss sustained by the death, on 23 May 2013, of the Honourable Gerald Beresford Ponsonby Peacocke, a former Minister of the Crown. As Parliamentary Leader of the New South Wales Nationals, I wish to speak of Gerald Beresford Ponsonby Peacocke, a great Country Party and National Party warrior. As Deputy Premier in a reformist Government, I will also speak of a policy innovator whose contribution in a variety of roles over his many years of public life made a significant difference to many of his fellow citizens. Most importantly, as a husband and father, I offer my deepest condolences to his wife, Nancy; his children and their families—Sam and Helen, Catherine, Duncan, Ben, Angus and Alex, Jane and Stephen; his 11 grandchildren; his great granddaughter, Tabitha; and his brothers and sister, Peter, Margaret and Gareth, and Sylvia. I acknowledge the presence in the gallery of Duncan and Jane. Gerry, as he was known to all of his friends, was born in Warren on 2 June 1931 and died not that far down the road in Dubbo almost 80 years later. In those intervening years he travelled around the world many times, but I think it is true to say that, for Gerry, nowhere compared to the Central West and Western Plains of New South Wales. Indeed, that terrific region of our State was at the heart of his public service. I outline the many elected positions he held in that area as proof of that: deputy mayor of Bathurst City Council 1965; alderman of Dubbo City Council from 1970 to 1976; mayor of Dubbo City Council in 1999; and, of course, the member for Dubbo for 17 years, five months and 15 days from 19 September 1981 to 5 March 1999. My colleague Troy Grant, Gerry's Nationals successor in the great seat of Dubbo, will speak shortly about some of his many achievements for his electorate. Colleagues from both sides of the House no doubt will recall some of the many amusing

    4794 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 23 November 2006 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Joseph Aquilina) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. Mr SPEAKER: I acknowledge the Gadigal clan of the Eora nation and its elders and thank them for their custodianship of country. SEASONAL FELICITATIONS Mr DAVID CAMPBELL (Keira—Minister for Water Utilities, Minister for Small Business, Minister for Regional Development, and Minister for the Illawarra) [10.00 a.m.]: I move: That the House take note of Christmas felicitations. Mr Speaker, I take this opportunity to wish you and yours the very best for this festive season and thank you for your efforts in the Chair. I have said this to you privately and I say it now in the House that I believe yours is sometimes a very lonely task and a very challenging task in keeping the Opposition—and, from time to time, the Government—in some sense of order. I am confident I can say on this occasion on behalf of the whole House that we appreciate your efforts in your role as Speaker. Honourable members know that my appointment as Leader of the House has been recent and, to this point, brief. I appreciate the support and encouragement that many people have given me, but none more so than the Government Whips, Gerard Martin and Alan Ashton. They have supported me in my role as Leader of the House and they have worked very hard throughout the year on behalf of the Government to make sure members understand the time constraints and issues in the House.

    5437 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 20 November 2003 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Joseph Aquilina) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. QUARANTINE STATION PRESERVATION TRUST BILL Bill received and read a first time. Second reading ordered to stand as an order of the day. Mr SPEAKER: I have been advised that the honourable member for The Hills will have the carriage of the bill in this House. ROADS AMENDMENT (TRANSFER OF CROWN ROADS) BILL Bill introduced and read a first time. Second Reading Mr GEORGE SOURIS (Upper Hunter) [10.04 a.m.]: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. It is a great pleasure to introduce this bill, which has a history. First, it is identical to a bill I proposed in 1995. That bill arose as a result of the inability of local government to find meaningful insurance for Crown roads. The Government of the day—the current Government—opposed that bill, but made a commitment to undertake significant consultation with the industry and to set up a task force and a process. Unfortunately, nothing transpired. Crown roads can still be forced onto local government, creating an unfunded mandate whereby the ratepayers can be responsible for their upgrade and/or maintenance. The issue arose from two cases. The first related to Cassels Road in the shire of Singleton, which the Department of Lands forced onto the Singleton Shire Council without consultation and without any form of compensation to cover the capital requirements of the road and its ongoing maintenance.

    TurnNumber Legislative Assembly Page 1 Turn001 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Tuesday, 31 May 2016 The SPEAKER (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 12:00. The SPEAKER read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. Visitors VISITORS Turn002 The SPEAKER: I welcome to the Speaker's gallery Mr Paul Middleton, President, Albion Park Chamber of Commerce, guest of the member for Kiama. Turn003 Private Members' Statements MOTOR VEHICLE REPAIR INDUSTRY Mr RAY WILLIAMS (Castle Hill) (12:11): I have spoken many times in this House of my long association with the motor vehicle repair industry. There are many motor vehicle repair businesses located within the Castle Hill electorate, all eagerly awaiting important amendments to legislation relating to this industry which will be debated in this Chamber later this year. On Friday 13 May this year I had the great pleasure of attending the Future Skills Forum and Innovation Expo and the opening of 3M's Automotive Aftermarket training centre in Blacktown in Western Sydney in support of this industry. The expo was a joint effort to help jumpstart the automotive industry by stimulating industry growth and creating new job opportunities. The highlight of the day was the pledging of more than 100 jobs from businesses to encourage young people into the industry. Greg Preston, Chief Executive Officer of the Australian Association of Progressive Repairers, who organised the event, summed up the industry's situation by saying, "Our industry is in a crisis, with a massive shortage of skilled tradespeople. The ageing workforce, their likely exit from the industry in the next five years and the lack of new blood entering is a reality the industry must come to grips with now and plan to overcome." The good news is there is no shortage of groups and organisations setting up and making a difference, many of whom were in attendance on the day.
