    Leading � rec�very Annual Report 2019–2020 TARONGA ANNUAL REPORT 2019–2020 A SHARED FUTURE � WILDLIFE AND PE�PLE At Taronga we believe that together we can find a better and more sustainable way for wildlife and people to share this planet. Taronga recognises that the planet’s biodiversity and ecosystems are the life support systems for our own species' health and prosperity. At no time in history has this been more evident, with drought, bushfires, climate change, global pandemics, habitat destruction, ocean acidification and many other crises threatening natural systems and our own future. Whilst we cannot tackle these challenges alone, Taronga is acting now and working to save species, sustain robust ecosystems, provide experiences and create learning opportunities so that we act together. We believe that all of us have a responsibility to protect the world’s precious wildlife, not just for us in our lifetimes, but for generations into the future. Our Zoos create experiences that delight and inspire lasting connections between people and wildlife. We aim to create conservation advocates that value wildlife, speak up for nature and take action to help create a future where both people and wildlife thrive. Our conservation breeding programs for threatened and priority wildlife help a myriad of species, with our program for 11 Legacy Species representing an increased commitment to six Australian and five Sumatran species at risk of extinction. The Koala was added as an 11th Legacy Species in 2019, to reflect increasing threats to its survival. In the last 12 months alone, Taronga partnered with 28 organisations working on the front line of conservation across 17 countries.

    Tuesday, 4 August 2020 Legislative Assembly- PROOF Page 1 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Tuesday, 4 August 2020 The Speaker (The Hon. Jonathan Richard O'Dea) took the chair at 12:00. 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.

    30 June 2010 Research Director Environment and Resources Committee Parliament House Brisbane, QLD 4000 By email: [email protected] Website: www.parliament.qld.gov.au/erc Dear Sir/ Madam, Response to Environment and Resources Committee Inquiry into Growing QLD’s Renewable Energy Electricity Sector The Clean Energy Council (CEC) is the peak body representing Australia’s clean energy and energy efficiency industries. Its priorities are to: create the optimal conditions in Australia to stimulate investment in the development and deployment of world’s best clean energy technologies; develop effective legislation and regulation to improve energy efficiency; and work to reduce costs and remove all other barriers to accessing clean energy. The CEC works with members and the government to identify and address the barriers to efficient industry development in the stationary energy sector and energy efficiency. The clean energy industry and its members contribute to the generation of electricity using wind, hydro, solar, biomass, geothermal and ocean energy as well as the emerging technologies and service providers in the energy efficiency sector including solar hot water and cogeneration. The CEC welcomes this opportunity to provide a submission in response to the QLD Parliament Environment and Resources Committee’s Inquiry into Queensland’s Renewable Energy Electricity Sector. Policy Opportunities With its diverse clean energy industry, abundant energy resources and its commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the effects of climate change, Queensland is an ideal location to become a leader in the renewable energy industry. To transform to a low carbon economy will require the accelerated deployment of proven clean energy technologies such as wind, hydro, biomass, photovoltaic and cogeneration and the accelerated development of emerging technologies such as solar thermal, geothermal and wave/ocean power.
