Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.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. ROAD TRANSPORT AMENDMENT (ELECTRONIC TRAFFIC INFRINGEMENT NOTICES TRIAL) BILL 2013 Bill introduced on motion by Mr Stuart Ayres, on behalf of Mr Greg Smith, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Mr STUART AYRES (Penrith—Parliamentary Secretary) [10.08 a.m.], on behalf of Mr Greg Smith: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The Road Transport Amendment (Electronic Traffic Infringement Notices Trial) Bill 2013 amends the Road Transport Act 2013 to provide for a proof-of-concept trial by the NSW Police Force for the service of electronic traffic infringement notices—or TINs, as they are more commonly known in the field. The project will occur in five local area commands for four weeks to allow a systems-testing and data-matching process to occur. The project findings will be used by the NSW Police Force to determine whether a larger production trial followed by an independent evaluation should occur. To undertake this four-week project certain legislative amendments are required to enable a traffic infringement notice to be issued in this manner if agreed to by the offender. The bill, therefore, inserts a new section 196A after section 196 of the Road Transport Act 2013 to provide that a traffic infringement notice may be sent via electronic transmission by the NSW Police Force upon the consent of the person concerned. The new section clarifies when the infringement notice will be deemed to have been served, provides for the voluntary provision of email addresses and mobile phone numbers, includes a sunset clause, and provides that children under the age of 16 will not be issued infringement notices electronically. The legislative amendments required for the project have been the subject of consultation with the Office of Liquor, Gaming and Racing; Roads and Maritime Services; Transport for NSW; the Department of Attorney General and Justice; and the Department of Finance and Services. Agreement has been reached to limit the amendments to the statutory provisions necessary for the proof-of-concept trial to be conducted. The NSW Police Force consulted agencies including the State Debt Recovery Office, the Police Association of NSW and other Australian law enforcement jurisdictions. Without the legislative amendments, police will be unable to issue electronic traffic infringement notices in the field. In the five local area commands involved in the project, police will issue electronic notices only with the consent of the individual concerned. Should the person refuse, infringement notices will be issued manually by police and sent by post, in line with current practice. For the duration of the project, 20 tablets have been supplied to police and will be returned to the manufacturer

    by Garson Kanin Welcome MELBOURNE THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS Welcome to Melbourne Theatre Company’s first production for 2017, Born Yesterday. With any revival of a classic, even a 20th century classic, we need to be mindful of the times in which we are presenting it. And a more timely revival of Garson Kanin’s 1946 masterpiece would be hard to imagine. This glamorous, funny but also darkly probing work explores the corruptions and machinations which can ferment when power is put in the wrong hands. In this case it’s the hands of a bullying businessman who winds up in by Garson Kanin Washington DC with the aim of manipulating politics for his own gain. To re-ignite this marvellous play, which had one of the longest runs in Broadway history, MTC Associate Director Dean Bryant has assembled a dream creative team. Dale Ferguson’s 14 JANUARY – 25 FEBRUARY lavish set and costume designs, lit with finesse by Matt Scott, coupled with Mathew Frank’s electric composition and a sensational cast, make this production a thrilling night at the Southbank Theatre theatre, and an interesting coda to America’s brutal presidential election last year. The Sumner And to continue into 2017 we have an outstanding program of theatre lined up. In our Southbank Theatre and Arts Centre Melbourne venues there’s John from Pulitzer-Prize Cast Production winner Annie Baker; Shakespeare’s ultimate tragedy Macbeth, directed by MTC veteran Mrs Hedges / Helen / Manicurist Heidi Arena Director Dean Bryant Simon Phillips; a comedy which many consider to be the funniest play ever written, Noises Ed Devery Tyler Coppin Set & Costume Designer Dale Ferguson Off; and a range of premieres from some of Australia’s most exciting playwrights including Harry Brock Russell Dykstra Lighting Designer Matt Scott Lally Katz, Joanna Murray-Smith and Eddie Perfect.
