NSWCFA Update from Exec Committee to Affiliates 3 Sep 2020 3 Sep 2020 Monthly update from the NSWCFA Executive Committee 3 Sep 2020 This email includes a summary of minutes from our latest NSWCFA exec committee meeting plus some other relevant documents. The file attached contains: • Latest Exec Committee minutes • Letter to Fisheries Minister Adam Marshall about delay in approving regulations to ban “opera house” style yabby traps • Letter to Premier Gladys Berejiklian about Minister’s delay in approving regulations to ban “opera house” style yabby traps • Submission by Central Acclimatisation Society about the NSW government’s draft strategic plan for Crown lands • Submission by Monaro Acclimatisation Society about the NSW government’s draft strategic plan for Crown lands • Examples of signage the NSWCFA has been discussing alerting recreational fishers to access issues on waterways • Letter to Minister Adam Marshall about delay in release of minutes from meetings of Recreational Fishing NSW Advisory Council and Recreational Fishing Trusts • Letter to Minister Adam Marshall about delay in reviewing and making public a study and report into options for recreational fishing in Sydney water impoundments (a study paid for by the Recreational Fishing Freshwater Trust) • Letter to Environment Minister Matt Kean supporting culling of feral horses from Kosciuszko National Park Correspondence is on website to read We have linked to a page on our website so you can read some of the recent correspondence—we will keep that up to date so that member organisations can see what’s going on. If there is a topic especially relevant to your club, you can support our efforts by writing to NSW DPI Fisheries, various ministers and shadow ministers, your local members, Recreational Fishing NSW Advisory Council (which controls the Recreational Fishing Freshwater Trust Expenditure Committee), etc. Give us a ring or email if we can give you any info that would help you do that. About the monthly Exec Committee meetings The monthly Exec Committee meetings happen via Zoom at 6.30 pm on the evening of the last Wednesday of each month. They last about an hour and have been very productive since we started them, long before the COVID-19 situation. Zoom meetings are working well COVID-19 seems to have given our meetings a bit of a boost—Zoom attendance doesn’t require much time, travel or expense, and we get through the business without too much stuffing around. The meetings are mainly for members of the Exec Committee but there’s nothing that’s top secret...if clubs have anything urgent that they think needs dealing with sooner rather than later, contact your regional vice president (listed on the website www.freshwateranglers.com.au) or your club delegate, or the Hon Secretary via [email protected] so that the issue can be addressed, and if appropriate, you can be part of the Zoom meeting. The Exec Committee meetings usually include some of our members who are delegates to the Recreational Fishing NSW Advisory Council, the Recreational Fishing Freshwater Expenditure Trust Committee and the Recreation Fishing Alliance of NSW, giving us good channels into those bodies. Quarterly meetings are now on Zoom Of course, the main items of business are still discussed at the NSWCFA’s quarterly general meetings. All clubs get a full set of notices, minutes and financial reports for those meetings, via emails to their delegates, which we hope they pass on to their members. Contact us Give me a ring or email if we can help. Main email is [email protected], and my phone is 0425 211 313.

Close The meeting closed at 7:40 pm. 26 Aug 2020 Executive Meeting minutes pre distribution draft as at 26 Aug 2020 pg. 2 20 August 2020 The Hon Adam Marshall, MP Minister for Agriculture and Western New South Wales GPO Box 5341 SYDNEY NSW 2001 Opera House “Platypus” Traps Dear Minister, In our letter to you of 21 May 2020, the New South Wales Council of Freshwater Anglers (NSWCFA) asked specifically when you intend to ban the use of opera house traps by recreational anglers and when you expect to release the outcome of consultations between Fisheries NSW and licensed commercial yabby fishers in the Western Division of NSW on the use of opera house traps. But your recent response (your reference OM20/3819) failed to provide this advice. We ask again, when are you going to ban the use of opera house traps? We continue to be disappointed with your response—while this matter has been before you for well over a year now, platypus and other wildlife continue to die in what can be described as “platypus traps”. We note that: • The use of these traps has been banned in Victoria and, more recently, in the ACT; • Your own Recreational Fishing NSW Advisory Council in its February 2019 minutes endorsed a recommendation to prohibit the use of opera house traps; • your colleague, The Hon Matt Kean, MP, Minister for Energy and the Environment, is concerned about the impact of these traps on native wildlife, and supports measures that will help and preserve native wildlife species. We cannot understand why you continue to delay banning the use of these traps when you had the opportunity to do so well before any supposed disruptions caused by COVID-19. NSW Council of Freshwater Anglers Inc PO Box 537, Paddington NSW 2021 Email [email protected] Web www.freshwateranglers.com.au ABN 22 497 104 592 Thank you for your invitation to discuss opera house traps with Mr Peter Turnell, but members of the NSWCFA, have, over more than 18 months, had discussions with Mr Turnell and other departmental officers on this subject, to no avail. Mr Turnell does not have the authority to sign off on the regulation—only you, as Minister, have that power. The NSWCFA considers the delay in introducing the ban unacceptable and is investigating other ways of achieving this ban. Yours faithfully Peter Gibson President NSW Council of Freshwater Anglers cc Mr Peter Turnell Group Director, Recreational &Aboriginal Fisheries 2 20 August 2020 [email protected] Feedback on the draft State Strategic Plan for Crown land Please see the following submissions in respect of the draft State Strategic Plan for Crown land Introduction These submissions have been prepared on behalf of the Central Acclimatisation Society Inc, which was initially incorporated under the Fisheries Act and subsequently under the Associations Incorporation Act.

  • Macquarie St Politics: Death by Disunity
    Macquarie St politics: Death by disunity The Daily Telegraph September 28, 2016 Andrew Clennell NATIONALS IN REVOLT AS MINISTERS PRESSURE BAIRD BACK when Barry O‟Farrell was opposition leader, he took the politically opportunistic decision to block Morris Iemma‟s electricity privatisation. Apart from the chance to thoroughly stuff up a premier (successfully, as it turned out), there was another reason O‟Farrell went for the move. He did not want to split with the Nats. O‟Farrell knew the importance of not having the Nationals and Liberals divided. Ironically, once premier, O‟Farrell took a similar proposal to his party and then the Parliament. It won in the Nationals party room by one vote. Former deputy premier Andrew Stoner‟s enduring legacy is that he kept the Nationals together. Troy Grant is not having quite the same success when it comes to greyhounds. Nationals leader Troy Grant NSW Premier Mike Baird. One big problem is that, as Racing Minister, it was he who took the minute to cabinet recommending the greyhound industry be banned. As story after story appears of Grant possibly resigning if the party loses the Orange by-election; of Nationals speaking out against the greyhound racing ban, and the fact that three MPs crossed the floor and two of them were later sacked as parliamentary secretaries, the sense is created of a divided government lacking discipline. It reminds me of 2008 when Labor fell apart over electricity privatisation. In such circumstances, pressure just builds and, sooner or later, something has to give. And just as O‟Farrell was going against his business base to take advantage of the Iemma government division over electricity, Opposition Leader Luke Foley is preparing to cash in on moving against the inner-city Left to cause dramas for this premier over greyhounds.

    GOVERNOR'S SPEECH: ADDRESS-IN-REPLY The PRESIDENT: I ask members to extend the usual courtesies to the Hon. Niall Blair, who is about to make his inaugural speech. The Hon. NIALL BLAIR [12.32 p.m.] (Inaugural Speech): May I commence by congratulating you, Mr President, on your appointment and also acknowledging all other members of this place in the Fifty-fifth Parliament. I stand before you today in this place and in front of the many people who have contributed to my being elected to the Fifty-fifth Parliament to outline to the House what I stand for and hope to achieve during my time in Parliament. As a first-generation Australian, I reaffirm my commitment and dedication to this great country and to the people of the New South Wales. In order to outline to the House what I intend to achieve while in this place I must go back and explain the events and environment that have influenced me and impacted upon my life to date. As I mentioned, I am the first of my family to be born in Australia with my parents emigrating in the 1970s from the then troubled Northern Ireland. My parents came to Australia through a recruitment program arranged by the New South Wales Government to fill a skill shortage of high school teachers from countries all over the world. My father came out first and settled with his best friend from university, the late Angus Payne, and his wife, Dorothy, on the New South Wales Central Coast. When my mother followed some months later my parents were married and, after a number of different postings to high schools throughout New South Wales, they finally settled in Goulburn.
