  • 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.

    1162 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 26 May 2011 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. TRIBUTE TO ROBERT GOULD Mr JOHN ROBERTSON (Blacktown—Leader of the Opposition) [10.00 a.m.], by leave: I acknowledge the students in the public gallery from St Andrews Primary School at Marayong. On behalf of the Opposition I acknowledge the passing of Bob Gould; a great contributor to this city's intellectual and political capital over many decades, who died suddenly on 22 May 2011. This House is a place of robust debate and differing· views. We often find ourselves in agreement on matters but more often in disagreement—sometimes quite passionate and heated disagreement. But regardless of which point on the political spectrum we come from I think we all agree that all points are needed. We agree that diverse views, contrary views, majority and minority views are all equally important contributors to the healthy and robust debate that underpins our democracy. We should never silence in this place the dissenting view but rather allow it to have its voice. There would not be one member of this House who can say that he or she has not experienced moments of being in the minority and yet was afforded the respect and right to state his or her case. Bob Gould was far more than the proprietor of the business that bears his name; he was also a great contributor to keeping this principle front and centre in the life of this city.

  • Attorney General Hands out Pardons [PDF, 22Kb]
    Hon Greg Smith SC MP Attorney General Minister for Justice MEDIA RELEASE Friday 13 May 2011 ATTORNEY GENERAL HANDS OUT PARDONS The NSW Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Greg Smith SC, will hand out ‘pardons’ to ‘inmates’ who take part in the Whitelion bailout event at Yasmar Juvenile Detention Centre tomorrow. Thirty CEOs, managers and business staff from around Sydney will pay $1500 each to don prison overalls and be locked up overnight in Yasmar, a former juvenile detention facility in the inner-western suburb of Haberfield. All the Friday-night ‘inmates were due to arrive at the facility at 5.30pm for processing. They include Sydney Opera House CEO Richard Evans, former rugby league international and CEO of Central Coast Bears, Greg Florimo, as well as senior managers from Nandos, Westpac and two directors from Whitelion’s major partner Schweppes Australia. Mr Smith said he was delighted to be able to pardon participants. “The businesses who have already signed up with Whitelion are ensuring young offenders are given the opportunity to have a reliable job, make a decent wage, and stay on the right track in life,” Mr Smith said. “Whitelion has a deep commitment to making a real difference to the lives of young people. They work closely with Juvenile Justice staff to provide our young offenders in NSW with real jobs and real wages. “Secure employment builds confidence in young offenders, and can help them realise their full potential and significantly reduce their risk of reoffending. “We now call upon NSW businesses to get on board with the Whitelion employment program.” Whitelion is not-for-profit community organisation that works with young people in the juvenile justice system to provide job training, work experience, short-term placement and supported ongoing employment.

  • Chris Holstein Inaugural Speech.Pdf
    Inaugural Speeches Inaugural Speeches Extract from NSW Legislative Assembly Hansard and Papers Thursday 26 May 2011. Mr CHRIS HOLSTEIN (Gosford) [7.16 p.m.] (Inaugural Speech): As I rise in this honourable place to make my inaugural speech I officially acknowledge the traditional owners of this land and pay my respects to elders past and present. To those of this Fifty-fifth Parliament of New South Wales I offer my congratulations; to all those elected to this House and to the other place, especially those elected for the first time, and to my Central Coast colleagues Chris Spence, the member for the Entrance, and Darren Webber, the member for Wyong, and my northern colleagues Garry Edwards, the member for Swansea; Andrew Cornwell, the member for Charlestown; Robyn Parker, the member for Maitland; and Tim Owen, the member for Newcastle. The Hunter is very much part of my heritage. I look forward to the challenges ahead, expecting at times that we will not agree. But a difference of opinion is what makes democracy work, more so when the right to a different opinion is respected. Tradition tells me, and rightfully so, to mention my predecessor Marie Andrews, the member for Peats and subsequently the member for Gosford, from 1995 to 2011—a much- respected member of the community and one who showed commitment to her constituents. I wish her the best in her retirement. I also acknowledge a past member for Gosford in the gallery this evening, Malcolm Brooks, previously a fellow city councillor, shire president, mayor, mentor and, at times, an opinionated opponent, but also very much a friend.
