The Speaker read the prayer and acknowledgement of country. Announcements THOUGHT LEADERSHIP BREAKFAST The SPEAKER: I inform the House that we had two outstanding leaders of Indigenous heritage at our Thought Leadership breakfast this morning. I thank all those members who attended that event. In particular I thank our guest speakers: Tanya Denning-Allman, the director of Indigenous content at SBS, and Benson Saulo, the incoming Consul-General to the United States, based in Houston. I thank both of them and note we will have another event in November. [Notices of motions given.] Bills STRONGER COMMUNITIES LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (DOMESTIC VIOLENCE) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Mark Speakman, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr MARK SPEAKMAN (Cronulla—Attorney General, and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic Violence) (09:46:44): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. The Stronger Communities Legislation Amendment (Domestic Violence) Bill 2020 introduces amendments to support procedural improvements and to close gaps in the law that have become apparent. Courts can be a daunting place for victims of domestic and family violence. The processes can be overwhelming. Domestic violence is a complex crime like no other because of the intimate relationships between perpetrators and victims. Those close personal connections intertwine complainants and defendants in ways that maintain a callous grip on victims. This grip can silence reports of abuse, delay reports when victims are brave enough to come forward, and intimidate victims to discontinue cooperating with prosecutions.

  • Book 2. the Roach Family
    Book 2. The Roach Family- From Winterbourne, Gloucestershire, England 1. Roach – the name and early history The name Roach as for our early family (sometimes spelt as Rouch, or alternatively in other families as Roche which is still used) is old in English history dating from the early Norman period. In English, its origins are topographic as originally it was the name for someone who lived by a rocky crag or outcrop, from the Old French roche translated into Norman as rocque , both later replaced in English by rock . That is, it may be a direct derivative in either language of the word, rock applied as a description of a person. Alternatively, its use can come from the town or village of habitation rather than a particular person, examples being from such towns so named of Roach in Devon, Roche in Cornwall and South Yorkshire or from Roche Castle in Wales, the particular family themselves perhaps never having had an ancestor directly associated with a rocky outcrop. Although it is originally a Norman or Breton (these now being parts of France) name transferred to England, it is also common in Ireland although it is not indigenous there as again it is of Norman origin with habitational roots. Whichever of these is the origin of our family’s name, its earliest manifestation is thus from France, from Normandy, Brittany or nearby counties. Examples in France are Les Roches in Seine-Maritime, Normandy or La Rochelle in Charente-Maritime which is further south between Brittany and Aquitaine, both names also deriving from the Old French .
