    5437 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 20 November 2003 ______ Mr Speaker (The Hon. John Joseph Aquilina) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. Mr Speaker offered the Prayer. QUARANTINE STATION PRESERVATION TRUST BILL Bill received and read a first time. Second reading ordered to stand as an order of the day. Mr SPEAKER: I have been advised that the honourable member for The Hills will have the carriage of the bill in this House. ROADS AMENDMENT (TRANSFER OF CROWN ROADS) BILL Bill introduced and read a first time. Second Reading Mr GEORGE SOURIS (Upper Hunter) [10.04 a.m.]: I move: That this bill be now read a second time. It is a great pleasure to introduce this bill, which has a history. First, it is identical to a bill I proposed in 1995. That bill arose as a result of the inability of local government to find meaningful insurance for Crown roads. The Government of the day—the current Government—opposed that bill, but made a commitment to undertake significant consultation with the industry and to set up a task force and a process. Unfortunately, nothing transpired. Crown roads can still be forced onto local government, creating an unfunded mandate whereby the ratepayers can be responsible for their upgrade and/or maintenance. The issue arose from two cases. The first related to Cassels Road in the shire of Singleton, which the Department of Lands forced onto the Singleton Shire Council without consultation and without any form of compensation to cover the capital requirements of the road and its ongoing maintenance.

  • A Environmentalists Perspective on Conservation in North East
    This summarises the highlights of my work as an environmentalist, along with some of my wins and losses. It tells events from my perspective, though I do not seek to take credit for all events and outcomes I describe, rather I seek to put what I was doing in the context of other events. Mostly I was one of many people contributing towards achieving our mutual goals, though some battles were very lonely. My conservation work has been voluntary and generally unpaid. I have had a lot of help along the way, most particularly from my current partner whom I have been with since soon after NEFA started. Contents 1.

  • 100 Broken Barry O'farrell Promises
    BARRY O’FARRELL’S IOO “I’m happy to resign if I don’t deliver on these promises.” Barry O’Farrell, 16 March, 2011 BROKEN PROMISES In the six months since Barry O’Farrell was elected Premier, his Government has broken 100 election promises. Barry O’Farrell signed a contract with the people of NSW promising to deliver on his election commitments, but this doesn’t appear to count for much. On average, the O’Farrell Government breaks an election promise every second day. These broken promises extend across Government, from trashing environmental protections to sacking 5,000 workers and sending the Budget into deficit. Seventeen of the Government’s 22 Ministers have broken an election promise. O’Farrell Ministers breakdown of broken promises: MINISTER: BROKEN PROMISES Barry O’FARRELL: Premier, Minister for Western Sydney 23 GLADYS BEREJIKLIAN: Minister for Transport 11 DUNCAN Gay: Minister for Roads and Ports 10 JILLIAN SKINNER: Minister for Health and Medical Research 9 GREG PEARCE: Minister for Finance and Services, Minister for the Illawarra 8 Katrina HODGKINSON: Minister for Primary Industries, 6 Minister for Small Business CHRIS HartCHER: Minister for Resources and Energy, Special Minister of State, 5 Minister for the Central Coast ANDREW STONER: Deputy Premier, Minister for Trade and Investment, 5 Minister for Regional Infrastructure and Services MIKE BAIRD: Treasurer 4 PRU GowarD: Minister for Family and Community Services, Minister for Women 4 ROBYN PARKER: Minister for the Environment and Heritage 4 ADRIAN PICCOLI: Minister for Education
