PRIVATE MEMBERS' STATEMENTS __________ AUSTRALIAN DEAF GAMES 2018 Mr GREG APLIN (Albury) [12.11 p.m.]: Albury has been named as one of the host cities for the XVIII Australian Deaf Games in 2018. The games will attract competitors from Australia and the Asia-Pacific to regional New South Wales to participate in this major social sports and cultural festival. The games are held generally every three to four years, with the most recent games taking place in January this year in Adelaide. The next Deaf Games have been moved forward by two years in order to better line up with international competitions.

The Australian Deaf Games are the pinnacle of deaf sporting events in Australia, which is open to participants who are deaf, hard of hearing, hearing impaired or cochlear implantees. Most of the officials and the majority of visitors to the games are deaf or hard of hearing. Why do we need these games? The Deaf Games give deaf and hard-of-hearing people an opportunity to participate in a national competition format that was developed to encourage involvement and to facilitate real competition. The games also help to promote the development of deaf sport in this country. It is good news that the 2018 games will be held in a regional area where they can produce many worthwhile outcomes. More than 1,000 athletes who will compete in 15 sports are expected to attend the games.

  • Building a Better Normal Act Greens 2020 Policy Platform
    BUILDING A BETTER NORMAL ACT GREENS 2020 POLICY PLATFORM THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A MORE IMPORTANT TIME TO BUILD A BETTER NORMAL. In these unprecedented times, the decisions we make now will shape the future of our society. If the bushfires and smoke over the summer, and now the COVID-19 pandemic have shown us anything, it's that business as usual cannot continue. While the old parties and status quo are seeking a return to normal, the ACT Greens have a plan to use this once in a lifetime opportunity to redress the inequalities and injustices inherent in our current systems—to build a better normal. This means bringing the same boldness, decisiveness and energy the ACT Greens brought to climate action to reimagining our community in a way that benefits everyone for decades to come. It’s clear that now is both the right time and the best opportunity to build a better normal, by ensuring everyone has a home, by greening our suburbs, acting on climate change, and providing meaningful secure work. Our community can achieve amazing things when we put our minds to it and work together. We know we need to make our environment and activities more sustainable, and our community and infrastructure more resilient. We’re at a critical moment, and have the opportunity to rewrite the rules to ensure a cleaner, greener community where everyone is supported to thrive. The ACT Greens play a unique role in the Australian political landscape and have been working hard over decades to set policies in the ACT that help shape a fair and sustainable future.

  • As the Hon. Jan Barham Is About to Make Her Inaugural Speech I Ask Honourable Members to Extend to Her the Usual Courtesies
    GOVERNOR'S SPEECH: ADDRESS-IN-REPLY The PRESIDENT: As the Hon. Jan Barham is about to make her inaugural speech I ask honourable members to extend to her the usual courtesies. The Hon. JAN BARHAM [5.21 p.m.] (Inaugural Speech): I acknowledge that this Parliament is on the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora nation and I offer my respect to the Elders past, present and future. I acknowledge that I am from the Bundjalung nation and the land of the Arakwal people and I pay my respects to those Elders, past and present, and the community members that I am proud to work with and to call friends. Today I speak in the House for the first time as one of six Greens members of the New South Wales Parliament. I acknowledge those members of The Greens who have served here before me. I congratulate all those who sit in this House. I have been privileged to work with my local Aboriginal community for over 15 years. Since 1994 I have had a close association with the Arakwal people and have worked in support of the long process that has led to the completion of three Indigenous land use agreements [ILUAs]. I congratulate the former Government and particularly former Premiers Carr and Iemma and Minister Debus on their commitment to the outcomes. I acknowledge also the long-term commitment of Ian Cohen. In 1994 he gave his word to support the Elders and he did. In 2007 I was honoured to be asked to officiate at an event at the Cape Byron headland where Premier Iemma acknowledged the finalisation of the Indigenous land use agreement stages two and three that advanced the negotiations with the State Government.

  • Legislative Council
    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ORAL HISTORY PROJECT LC Members Ante-Room, Parliament House, Sydney Wednesday 12 September 2018 The discussion commenced at 10:00 am PRESENT Mr David Blunt Dr David Clune Mr Richard Jones Wednesday, 12 September 2018 Legislative Council Page 1 Dr CLUNE: How did you become a member of the Legislative Council? Mr JONES: I got involved in politics back in 1971-72 when I was trying to stop the destruction of Myall Lakes, which is now a national park. I wrote back and forth to Premier Robin Askin, as he was then. He said, "Well, you may know about publishing, Mr Jones, but you know nothing about politics", which was like a red rag to a bull. So I abandoned my career and that new trail led me to standing for the Legislative Council in 1988. I gave up an extremely highly paid job back in 1972 to campaign for the environment. I was at the top of my earning capacity. I was general manager of Hamlyn House. I had a property portfolio I was building up as well. Anyway, I gave all that up. I was approached by Armon Hicks, who was Lis Kirkby's offsider, to stand for the upper House back in 1984. He said, "Would you like to be an MLC?" I said, "I would rather be a senator actually", just jokingly. He said, "If you want to be an MLC follow this path. First of all you have to stand for the lower House. You have to stand in the next election"—which was 1984—"for Warringah", where I got about six per cent.

The days of being blinded by the sunlight flashing off Manu Vatuvei’s gold teeth are Iover. The big fellah is off to Salford in the English Super League, having been granted an early release from the contract he had with us to the end of the 2018 season. It is a strangely empty felling, given I have been cheering for the bloke for a decade. “Manu is a club legend,” managing director Jim Doyle said. “We didn’t make this decision lightly but after years of service we didn’t want to stand in his way.” I can’t say anything this week that I did not say last week, so farewell Warrior No 115, and thanks for the 226 appearances, some of them great, some not, but you will always be “The Beast” to me, even if, having come to know you a little bit, it is the most ill-suited name they could possibly have given you. I will miss your presence, I will miss your smile, I will miss your laughter. I will miss your carries, I will miss your all or noth- ing approach, and I will miss your tries. It is going to be a long time before anyone overhauls that all-time try-scorer record of 152.

  • Komisaruk Family
    Komisaruk family Updated by Chaim Freedman 18/02/2020, to replace the material in his book “Eliyahu’s Branches, the Descendants of the Vilna Gaon and His Family”, Avotaynu 1997. Dov Ber (Berel) Komisaruk, born 1776 in Girtegola, Lithuania,1 (son of David Komisaruk [1747 - ] and Khana ?), died 1843 in Rassein, Lithuania.2 Oral tradition held that Berel came from a prominent family of scholars and communal leaders in Kovno. Lithuanian records prove that the family came from the city Rassein which was located in Kovno Gubernia (province).When the Jews were compelled to adopt a surname in 1804 Berel and his brothers or their father registered their surname as "Komisaruk". Later generations used various forms of this name: Komisaruk, Komesaroff, Komisar, Comisaroff, Comisarow. A full explanation of the reason for these variations and the historic basis for the family's activities in Rassein can be found in "Our Fathers' Harvest" (Chaim Freedman, Israel 1982, supplement 1990.) Berel Komisaruk and his family appear to have held a license to farm taxes which the local Jewish community was obliged to pay to the Russian government. In their case the particular tax was that due to the supply corp of the army, the Komisariat. This was probably the origin of this surname. Tradition claims some relationship with the famous Soloveitchik family of Kovno. Other than their common Levitic descent, this has not been established. The Soloveitchik family was amongst the founders of the Kovno community in the early 18th century. The 1816 Revision List for Rassein city includes two family groups with heads of family Leib, son of David Komisaruk and Velvel, son of David Komisaruk.
