  • 2014 Annual Report Secretary’S Introduction
    2014 Annual Report Secretary’s Introduction It gives me great pleasure to present the 2014 annual report. A highlight of 2014 was bringing our work at Unions NSW under a unifying agenda of Jobs, Rights, Services. This ensures we have a constant thread to all we do at Unions NSW. The contrast between our positive agenda and that of the conservatives was evident to all when the federal budget was handed down in May. Its attack on Medicare, pensions, university fees and other aspects of the social wage was a move by the federal government to take the nation down a new road of user pays. The response to the budget from the NSW union movement was magnificent. Actions included regional meetings, acquiring over 11,000 signatures on our petition, and a combined delegates meeting of over 400. This culminated in the Bust the Budget rally in Sydney Square on July 6 attended by around 10,000 people. Our actions together with those of unionists around the country were crucial in ensuring many of the budget measures were defeated. In NSW the Baird government continued pursing its version of the conservative agenda most notably through its moves to privatise the states assets and services. In electricity, health and education, to name a just a few areas, the state government made it clear that their way forward for NSW is to privatise assets and services either by sale or outsourcing. The response by unions to the government’s various announcements was very strong and will continue in 2015. In addition, the obvious inequity of the state government’s workers compensation system was again highlighted with further cuts in 2014 to the employer’s premiums.

FIRE BANS Ministerial Statement Mr MORRIS IEMMA (Lakemba—Premier, Minister for State Development, and Minister for Citizenship) [2.17 p.m.]: Total fire bans are again in place across most of the State today as firefighters battle a number of bushfires in the Blue Mountains, the Hunter Valley, Forbes, Oberon and the South Coast. Hot, dry and windy conditions have resulted in very high to extreme fire danger in many districts. Emergency declarations have been made for a number of the fires now burning. About 900 volunteer firefighters from the Rural Fire Service have been deployed, along with their colleagues from New South Wales Fire Brigades, Forests NSW and the National Parks and Wildlife Service. I acknowledge the employers of all of our volunteers for their ongoing support in allowing them to leave their workplaces to protect the community. The most serious of the fires are those currently burning in the Blue Mountains, where firefighters have been battling two bushfires in the Grose Valley for the past nine days.

  • The Slow Death of a Salesman
    The slow death of a salesman Authors: Deborah Snow, Andrew West, Publication: Sydney Morning Herald Mathew Moore & Damien Murphy Section: News Review Date: 13/09/2008 Pages: 28-29 Words: 4,010 Source: SMH Like Kevin Rudd, Nathan Rees's ambition was enough to put him above other would-be contenders for political leadership. To those outside politics, Nathan Rees's installation as Premier came as a bolt from the blue. But forces working against Morris Iemma had been gathering for months. As a number of Labor insiders tell it, his unwavering support for privatisation of the state's power industry was not the only cause of Iemma's downfall. The NSW Labor headquarters in Sussex Street, under the leadership of its secretary, Karl Bitar, 37, had tu rned against Iemma months before when his disapproval ratings soared. Iemma told colleagues he detected a change in Bitar's attitude towards him from about Christmas. "By March you could see that Morris was doing worse than the party," a source said. "The punters out there thought they had been conned; Morris came in as premier and said it was a new government. They had given him the benefit of the doubt and progress had not been made. So the electorate was pissed off." Against the drum-beat of the polls, the privatisation debate was growing steadily more bitter. Party bosses had kept a tight lid on the festering tensions over electricity during last year's federal election campaign. But once that was out of the way, all bets were off. "Karl Bitar and Joh n Robertson [the UnionsNSW boss] did nothing else from the Monday after the federal election until the state party conference in May except try to manage the electricity debate," said a source.

    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 2nd May 2018 Newsletter #215 Vodafone Warriors v Storm Photos courtesy of www.photosport.nz Storm on Song By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan HREE BLOKES, an African fellah, a Warriors fan and a guy from Melbourne are all waiting outside the Tmaternity unit to see their new children when the nurse comes out and says: “There has been a terrible mix-up and no one is sure whose baby is whose.” So the three blokes talk about it and the Warriors fan takes the initiative and says he will go first and chose a bby. In he goes and comes out with what is clearly the chid of the African fellah. “What are you doing?” says the African fellah. “Well I couldn’t risk going home with a Storm fan,” says the Warriors man. Boom, boom, which is why it shits me no end that Brad Fittler has come out and said the Storm have to be favourites to win the NRL – back to back – after their showing against us. But it is also why I’m not losing too much sleep over what happened on Anzac Day. Bring on the Tigers and let’s get on with it. Fittler says that 50-10 win was a warning shot fired across the bows of all the other clubs. Brisbane went back to back in 1992-93and it has not happened since. Only a fool, damn it, would ever write Melbourne off, so there slow start meant absolutely nothing.

    4210 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 16 November 2006 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Joseph Aquilina) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. Mr SPEAKER: I acknowledge the Gadigal clan of the Eora nation and its elders and thank them for the custodianship of country. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Suspension of Standing and Sessional Orders Mr PETER DEBNAM: I seek leave to suspend standing and sessional orders to permit the introduction and passage through all its stages of the Parliamentary Contributory Superannuation (Criminal Charges) Bill. Leave not granted. CHILDREN AND YOUNG PERSONS (CARE AND PROTECTION) MISCELLANEOUS AMENDMENTS BILL COMPANION ANIMALS AMENDMENT BILL HOME BUILDING AMENDMENT (STATUTORY WARRANTIES) BILL WORLD YOUTH DAY BILL Messages received from the Legislative Council returning the bills without amendment. UNPROCLAIMED LEGISLATION Mr SPEAKER: Pursuant to standing orders, I table a list detailing all legislation unproclaimed 90 calendar days after assent as at 17 November 2006. VICTIMS SUPPORT AND REHABILITATION AMENDMENT BILL Second Reading Debate resumed from 14 November 2006. Mr CHRIS HARTCHER (Gosford) [10.03 a.m.]: The Victims Support and Rehabilitation Amendment Bill arises from a statutory review of the Victims Support and Rehabilitation Act 1996 and various cognate Acts. The support of victims in New South Wales remains a serious and ongoing government and community responsibility. There is genuine concern that the legal system continues to look more to the accused than it does to victims. It is welcome then that the statutory review recommended various proposals to extend the rights of victims to compensation. It recommended to extend the rights of victims to claim for psychological and psychiatric injury; to extend the number of people in a victim's family who can make application to half brothers and half sisters and, in appropriate cases, to grandparents; to make allowances for payments such as funeral expenses; and to make allowances for an assessor to make certain determinations.
