INVESTMENT 2019 Australian Infrastructure Investment Report released Today, Infrastructure Partnerships Australia released the 2019 Australian Infrastructure Investment Report in partnership with Allens and Perpetual Corporate Trust. A panel of industry experts discussed the report’s findings, and its implications for investors, regulators, policy makers, and the broader infrastructure sector at an event hosted by Allens this morning. The report captures the views of international and Australian investors who together collectively own or manage circa $490 billion of infrastructure assets across the globe. The 2019 report Source:Infrastructure Partnerships Australia shows Australia still performs well among its international peers as a leading destination for infrastructure investment. However, the report reveals that there are some emerging risks in the Australian infrastructure market that do not have commensurate rewards. Some risks are symptoms of a flourishing and competitive market, but others, including policy uncertainty and regulatory interventions, have little upside for investors, taxpayers or customers. The report provides clear evidence that government needs to work harder to support investor confidence and provide stability to Australia’s infrastructure market. Infrastructure Partnerships Australia thanks Allens and Perpetual for their support of this paper and Allens for hosting the launch event. We also would like to thank all survey respondents for their contribution to the report. SYMPOSIUM Infrastructure Partnerships Australia convenes NSW Major Projects Symposium in Sydney Senior public and private sector leaders gathered in Sydney last week for the NSW Major Projects Symposium. The Symposium is an annual forum centred on major infrastructure planning and investment in NSW. Opened by the NSW Premier, The Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP, the Symposium featured a cross section of government and industry leaders who provided an update on the record NSW pipeline of investments. Speakers highlighted that projects were being delivered in line with a range of policy Source: Infrastructure Partnerships Australia initiatives in NSW around place making and focusing on the needs of their ‘customers’ in designing and delivering network upgrades. Speakers in order of appearance, included: The Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP, Premier of NSW Kim Curtain, Interim Deputy Secretary of Trade, Tourism, Investments and Precincts, NSW Treasury Roch Cheroux, Managing Director, Sydney Water Rebecca Wark, Chief Executive, Health Infrastructure NSW Jodi McKay MP, NSW Opposition Leader Jon Lamonte, Chief Executive Officer, Sydney Metro Ishaan Nangia, Partner, McKinsey & Company Chris Minns MP, NSW Shadow Minister for Transport and Corrections Sam Sangster, Chief Executive Officer, Western City & Aerotropolis Authority, and Amy Brown, Deputy Secretary, Strategy & Delivery, NSW Department of Premier & Cabinet.

PROJECT PIPELINE Te Waihanga releases update of Infrastructure Pipeline This week, the New Zealand Infrastructure Commission (Te Waihanga) published an update to its infrastructure pipeline. The updated pipeline identifies NZ$21.1 billion (A$19.7 billion) worth of projects to be delivered over the next decade. The update follows the formal establishment of Te Waihanga in September. According to the Te Waihanga, NZ$670 million (A$627 million) of work is expected to enter procurement between now and March 2020. The NZ Pipeline is complementary to Infrastructure Partnerships Australia’s own infrastructurepipeline.org, which is supported by the New Zealand and Australian Governments. Ninety-three per cent of the projects captured by the NZ Pipeline fall below the NZ$100 million threshold for infrastructurepipeline.org. In addition to providing further visibility, the pipeline will assist Te Waihanga in developing its 30-year strategy. Stakeholder consultation on the strategy is expected to commence shortly.

The existing site known as ANZ Stadium will be redeveloped into a permanent rectangular venue with 70,000 seats, in addition to corporate, member, and food and beverage facility upgrades. Expressions of Interest for pre- qualification will close on 29th of November 2019, with Request for Tender expected to be issued by February 2020. Source: Shutterstock The release of EOIs follows the publication of Infrastructure NSW’s final business case summary for the project in September 2019. While NSW Government's 2019-20 Budget did not expressly provide funding for the project in FY2019-20, $810 million is budgeted under the Restart NSW and Rebuilding NSW funds. TRANSPORT Productivity Commission releases draft report on National Transport Regulatory Reform This week, the Productivity Commission released its draft report on National Transport Regulatory Reform, examining progress against a reform pathway established by the Council of Australian Governments in 2009. The Commission notes that reform in the domestic freight transport sector has been slow and has not delivered the expected productivity gains. The draft report outlines the challenges for freight transport policy, which include the need for more flexible approaches to safety regulation, progressing changes in infrastructure provision and funding, and adopting new technologies to lift both safety and productivity. The purpose of the COAG reforms was to improve safety and productivity by establishing national laws and regulators across the heavy vehicle, rail and maritime sectors, as well as to address competition issues within freight transport markets. According to the Commission’s report, reform has delivered more consistent Source: Shutterstock regulation across most jurisdictions, but considerable work remains around enforcement and compliance. Submissions to the draft report are due by 15 January 2020 and the final report is expected to be delivered to the Federal Government by April 2020. Industry news Melbourne Airport has confirmed it will proceed on a north-south runway orientation as its third runway. The decision comes after the completion of a technical review, which found that a north-south orientation would provide a superior outcome in terms of availability, capacity, long-term investment profile and community impacts. Formal approvals for the project will now be sought, with the third runway expected to be operational by the end of 2025. Napier Port has awarded the NZ$173-190 million contract to build its multi-purpose 350-metre wharf to HEB Construction as part of the Napier Port – Wharf and Dredging project. Essential dredging works will be undertaken by Heron Construction and Dredging Limited. Construction is expected to begin in the first quarter of 2020 and the Wharf completed by late 2022. The South Australian Government has announced that Keolis Downer will deliver on-demand bus trials in Mount Barker and the Barossa, which will be funded by a $1.7 million grant. Keolis Downer were awarded the right to run these trials following a competitive process. Trials in both areas will commence in early 2020 and run for six months. The Federal Government has released its draft guidance note on the economic infrastructure staples tax concession. Under the concession, the Federal Treasurer has the discretion to approve applications for a 15- year concessional withholding tax rate for infrastructure projects with estimated capital expenditure of $500 million or more and that are deemed to be in the ‘national interest’. The draft note also indicates that the concession would apply a withholding tax rate of 15 per cent for non-resident investors – instead of the regular 30 per cent – for projects approved by the Treasurer. Federal Treasury is seeking feedback on the draft guidance note by 17 January 2020. According to media reports, a consortium comprising Tetris Capital, DIF Capital Partners and Sarah Constructions have been selected to deliver the South Australian Schools PPP. The $200 million project involves the design, construction, commissioning, financing and maintenance of two large schools in Munno Para, in Adelaide’s northern suburbs, and Aldinga, to the south of Adelaide, over the next 30 years. The Federal Government has announced a review of the Northern

  • The Scriptures Today Invite Us to Open Our Minds and Hearts to the Lavish Love of Our God
    The Scriptures today invite us to open our minds and hearts to the lavish love of our God. When the Israelites asked for food in the desert, God gave them exactly what they needed. Their grumbling didn’t put him off; he fed them with manna and quail. God only asked them to trust in his loving care for them. When crowds of people gathered around Jesus, he not only fed them; he gave them more than they could eat. God’s only desire in both instances was to show his lavish love in such a way that it would move people to trust him with their lives. When the people asked Jesus what they were to do to accomplish the works of God, he gave them a simple answer: believe in the one sent by God – believe in me. Then Jesus identifies himself: I am the bread of life, come down from heaven to give life to the world. All who come to him will never hunger or thirst. All of us believe that Jesus is the bread of life for us. We desire to place our trust and confidence in God’s loving care for us. We have also found that there is a challenge involved in this trusting. The challenge comes in our willingness to embrace God as he is, and not as we might like him to be. Confidence in God’s loving Providence means accepting with our whole being that God will provide for us, but not always as we might want or expect. Hoarfrost on the ground in the early morning was not what the Israelites expected, but it was bread from heaven as God had promised.

  • Michael Daley Elected NSW Labor Party Leader, Promising to 'Press the Reset Button'
    Michael Daley elected NSW Labor Party leader, promising to 'press the reset button' SMH November 2018 Lisa Visentin Maroubra MP Michael Daley has secured the leadership of the NSW Labor Party, and pledged to "fix the planning system in NSW" should he be elected Premier in March. New NSW Opposition Leader Michael Daley and Deputy Leader Penny Sharpe speak to media. CREDIT: DOMINIC LORRIMER The newly elected leader laid out his vision for government as one "built on four pillars", naming investment in education and hospitals, easing the cost of living, jobs, and overdevelopment as his core priorities. "We will make Sydney more liveable and stop unfairness and overdevelopment in the planning system," Mr Daley said. Mr Daley comfortably defeated Kogarah MP Chris Minns in the leadership vote 33 to 12 on Saturday. Penny Sharpe, an upper house member and Labor's environment spokeswoman, was elected deputy unopposed. Mr Daley addressed voters directly in his first press conference as Labor leader, promising to "press the reset button" in the wake of former leader Luke Foley's spectacular fall from grace. "I'm not here to save the furniture. We are here to win the 2019 election," Mr Daley said. Michael Daley hugs his wife Christina after the NSW Labor party leadership ballot. CREDIT: DOMINIC LORRIMER With just four months until the state election, Mr Daley's speech resembled an election pitch. He declared there to be "something horribly wrong at the heart" of the NSW Liberal government, describing his opponents as "a government of bankers, by bankers, for bankers." The Berejiklian government was quick to launch its attack on Mr Daley as representative of NSW Labor's old guard, highlighting his erstwhile connections with corrupt former MPs Eddie Obeid and Ian Macdonald.

The Speaker read the prayer and acknowledgement of country. [Notices of motions given.] Bills GAS LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (MEDICAL GAS SYSTEMS) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Kevin Anderson, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr KEVIN ANDERSON (Tamworth—Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation) (12:16:12): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. I am proud to introduce the Gas Legislation Amendment (Medical Gas Systems) Bill 2020. The bill delivers on the New South Wales Government's promise to introduce a robust and effective licensing regulatory system for persons who carry out medical gas work. As I said on 18 June on behalf of the Government in opposing the Hon. Mark Buttigieg's private member's bill, nobody wants to see a tragedy repeated like the one we saw at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital. As I undertook then, the Government has taken the steps necessary to provide a strong, robust licensing framework for those persons installing and working on medical gases in New South Wales. To the families of John Ghanem and Amelia Khan, on behalf of the Government I repeat my commitment that we are taking action to ensure no other families will have to endure as they have. The bill forms a key part of the Government's response to licensed work for medical gases that are supplied in medical facilities in New South Wales.

  • Colonialism, Capitalism, and the Rise of State Schooling in British Columbia, 1849-1900 Trent University
    COLONIALISM, CAPITALISM, AND THE RISE OF STATE SCHOOLING IN BRITISH COLUMBIA, 1849-1900 A Thesis Submitted to the Committee on Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts and Science TRENT UNIVERSITY Peterborough, Ontario, Canada, Anishinaabe Territory © Copyright by Sean Carleton 2016 Canadian Studies Ph.D Graduate Program May 2016 ABSTRACT Colonialism, Capitalism, and the Rise of State Schooling in British Columbia, 1849-1900 Sean Carleton This dissertation examines the historical relationship between settler colonialism, capitalism, and the rise of state schooling in what is now known as British Columbia between 1849 and 1900. It aims to “unsettle” conventional views of Canadian schooling history by bringing accounts of Indigenous and non-Indigenous education into one analytical frame, and it shows how the state used different forms of schooling for both Indigenous and non-Indigenous children—company, common, public, mission, day, boarding, and industrial schools—to assist colonial-capitalist social formation in the Pacific Northwest. In combining interdisciplinary insights from Indigenous studies, historical materialism, political economy, and critical pedagogy, the dissertation highlights the ways in which state-supported schooling facilitated capitalist accumulation by colonial dispossession. The central argument of the dissertation is that between 1849 and 1900, colonial, provincial, and federal governments strategically took on greater responsibility for schooling as a way of legitimizing the state and supporting the emergence of a capitalist settler society. KEYWORDS: Settler Colonialism; Capitalism; Education; Indigenous Peoples; Violence; Indian Residential Schools; History; Political Economy; British Columbia; Canada. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I gratefully acknowledge the funding I received from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) to complete this dissertation.

  • Warragamba Dam) Bill 2018
    New South Wales Parliament Legislative Assembly Water NSW Amendment (Warragamba Dam) Bill 2018 17 October 2018 I contribute to debate on the Water NSW Amendment (Warragamba Dam) Bill 2018. I want any interjections by Government members of Parliament, who sit opposite carping and moaning during Opposition speeches, to occur early. This is a bad bill introduced by a crooked Government on behalf of vested interests and Liberal Party donors in the property development industry. Nothing more, nothing less. This is the same criminal Government that was responsible for water theft along the Murray River. The impacts of the proposal to raise the dam wall are very well established. We will see hundreds of square kilometres of pristine world heritage area national park flooded in my electorate. We will see sacred Aboriginal sites inundated and destroyed. We will see huge cost imposts placed on taxpayers. And we will see rampant property development take hold on areas that were until now deemed too dangerous to build upon. But, do not take my word for it. Do not take the word of the Blue Mountains member who self-identifies as an environmentalist and conservationist. Let us go to the testimony of that Western Sydney traitor, the Minister for toll roads and the member for Penrith, Stuart Ayres. On 9News he was pictured standing in an empty field in front of a flood level marker that maxed out at four metres high and he cast his arm out wide and said: As far as the eye can see, to that tree line, all the way around, that's the urban development land.
