    NSW 2015 STATE ELECTION GUIDE the Policies of Major Political Parties on Life Issues, Marriage, Religious Freedom and Education

    NSW 2015 STATE ELECTION GUIDE The policies of major political parties on life issues, marriage, religious freedom and education Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, The NSW State Election is on Saturday 28 March. I endorse the words of Archbishop Anthony Fisher of Sydney: “This is an important opportunity for us all to cast our vote in accordance with our conscience and with the profound truths of the dignity of the human person, our right to religious freedom, the preciousness of life, marriage and the family, and the right of parents to educate their children in a way which respects their religious and moral beliefs. Clearly, this is not an exhaustive list of considerations. But I believe they are of special gravity because they shape the very foundations of our free and democratic society and affirm that the dignity of the person is a good for which both Church and State must both work and often together. Let us continue to pray for our leaders, for all those men and women called to public service, and for our fellow citizens as they approach the coming elections that they may recognise and defend those Christian values which have given us the freedoms and the social capital that we cherish today.” Most Rev Peter W Ingham DD (Bishop of Wollongong) LIBERAL/NATIONAL COALITION LABOR THE GREENS Federal Policies NSW Leader – Mike Baird Federal Policies NSW Leader – Luke Foley Federal Policies NSW Greens’ Statement Abortion & Protection No party policy.

    Water As Property: the Social Impact of Water Reform on Agriculturalists in the Murray-Darling Basin New South Wales

    . Water as Property: The Social Impact of Water Reform on Agriculturalists in the Murray-Darling Basin New South Wales Marea Capell A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Social Sciences & International Studies The University of New South Wales Water as Property: The Social Impact of Water Reform on Agriculturalists in the Murray-Darling Basin New South Wales Abstract Marea Capell This thesis contributes to sociology and social policy discussions on water reform in New South Wales, Australia. While the study draws on political economy theory in examining water as ‘property’ under economic rationalism polices, it makes an ethnographic contribution to rural sociology as it traces institutional reform in water management in the late twentieth century. The research is influenced by the theoretical concepts of Emile Durkheim on property relations, Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of field, game, habitus and illusio and Niklas Luhmann’s concept ‘trust’. These sociological perspectives are integral to my research. The empirical research centred on field observation and qualitative interviews with farm managers and senior officers as the State clawed back over allocated water for environmental restoration. The aims of this study were: (a) to observe the implications of restrictions on water use for farmers under the Water Management Act 2000 (New South Wales). (b) to enquire into the strategies used by dryland and irrigation farm managers to cope with cutbacks in water allocations. And (c) to observe if the trust by farmers in government policy is eroding. I found that if the farmers cannot obtain water to develop their land and water further, to continue traditions of intergenerational change, then income is lost throughout the rural communities.

    Mike Baird MP Troy Grant MP Premier of NSW Deputy Premier of NSW

    Mike Baird MP Troy Grant MP Premier of NSW Deputy Premier of NSW MEDIA RELEASE Wednesday 1 April 2015 A FRESH TEAM FOR REBUILDING NSW NSW Premier Mike Baird and Deputy Premier Troy Grant today announced the team that will deliver on the Coalition’s mandate to provide an extra $20 billion for vital infrastructure in our cities and our regions. “This is a Cabinet for today and tomorrow,” Mr Baird said. “The team that Troy and I have chosen represents the perfect mix of experience and new talent to take the State forward. “I am particularly proud that Gladys Berejiklian and Gabrielle Upton will become the first women in NSW history to hold the positions of Treasurer and Attorney General.” Mr Grant said the new Cabinet team will have a strong regional focus, with nine Ministers representing regional communities. “This is a Cabinet that represents all communities across the state,” Mr Grant said. “The benefit of having strong regional representation in Government is more voices at the decision-making table. “These changes mean regional NSW now has individual ministers responsible for crime and safety, tertiary skills and aboriginal affairs while maintaining oversight of protecting our precious land and water resources. “Regional NSW is back at the heart of government.” Mr Grant, a twice-decorated police officer for 22 years, becomes Minister for Justice and Police, Minister for the Arts and Minister for Racing, and is the senior minister in the Justice cluster. Significant changes to the structure of government, reflected in Cabinet appointments, include a new cluster, Finance, Services and Innovation, which will be led by Minister for Finance, Services and Property, Dominic Perrottet.

    100 Broken Barry O'farrell Promises

    BARRY O’FARRELL’S IOO “I’m happy to resign if I don’t deliver on these promises.” Barry O’Farrell, 16 March, 2011 BROKEN PROMISES In the six months since Barry O’Farrell was elected Premier, his Government has broken 100 election promises. Barry O’Farrell signed a contract with the people of NSW promising to deliver on his election commitments, but this doesn’t appear to count for much. On average, the O’Farrell Government breaks an election promise every second day. These broken promises extend across Government, from trashing environmental protections to sacking 5,000 workers and sending the Budget into deficit. Seventeen of the Government’s 22 Ministers have broken an election promise. O’Farrell Ministers breakdown of broken promises: MINISTER: BROKEN PROMISES Barry O’FARRELL: Premier, Minister for Western Sydney 23 GLADYS BEREJIKLIAN: Minister for Transport 11 DUNCAN Gay: Minister for Roads and Ports 10 JILLIAN SKINNER: Minister for Health and Medical Research 9 GREG PEARCE: Minister for Finance and Services, Minister for the Illawarra 8 Katrina HODGKINSON: Minister for Primary Industries, 6 Minister for Small Business CHRIS HartCHER: Minister for Resources and Energy, Special Minister of State, 5 Minister for the Central Coast ANDREW STONER: Deputy Premier, Minister for Trade and Investment, 5 Minister for Regional Infrastructure and Services MIKE BAIRD: Treasurer 4 PRU GowarD: Minister for Family and Community Services, Minister for Women 4 ROBYN PARKER: Minister for the Environment and Heritage 4 ADRIAN PICCOLI: Minister for Education

    21444 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Tuesday 16 March 2010 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. George Richard Torbay) took the chair at 1.00 p.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Notices of Motions General Business Notices of Motions (General Notices) given. PRIVATE MEMBERS' STATEMENTS __________ MENAI ELECTORATE WOMAN OF THE YEAR NOMINEE Ms ALISON MEGARRITY (Menai) [1.05 p.m.]: Last week the 2010 New South Wales Woman of the Year event was held in Parliament House. The Menai electorate nominee was Melinda Cruz. Melinda is the founder and chief executive officer of the Miracle Babies Foundation. This charity raises about $500,000 each year for equipment and resources to assist premature and sick babies. It also provides practical and emotional support for families throughout Australia during their journey through a newborn intensive care unit, the transition to home and onwards. In nominating Melinda I said that her initiative in founding and remaining so committed to the development of an organisation that has supported so many families in my electorate and well beyond it was an inspiration. It was a pleasure to welcome Melinda and her husband, Chris, to the event last week. They are clearly loving and devoted parents to sons Elijah, 7, Dillon, 5, and Jasper, 3. The keynote speaker on the night was Cheryl Koenig, the 2009 Menai electorate and overall New South Wales Woman of the Year. Cheryl acknowledged the inspiring role many women play in promoting a socially just, and thereby cohesive, community. It is her belief that the most crucial investment we can make as individuals is in our shared social wellbeing.
