The Deputy Speaker (The Hon. Thomas George) took the chair at 12.00. The Deputy Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country Visitors VISITORS The DEPUTY SPEAKER: I extend a warm welcome to my guests Uday Huja, Jason Alcock, Dany Karam, Christopher Smith and Buddika Gunawardana, who are chefs from The Star visiting the Parliament today. [Notices of motions given.] Private Members' Statements TRIBUTE TO SUPERINTENDENT JULIAN GRIFFITHS Ms ELENI PETINOS (Miranda) (12:13): I rise to discuss and farewell the outgoing commander from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command, Superintendent Julian Griffiths. Our local media has publicised that Superintendent Griffiths has been moved from the Sutherland Shire Police Area Command into the St George Police Area Command. Those of us who have had the opportunity to work with the superintendent, and to know him well, are going to miss him dearly. Media reports have not captured that Superintendent Griffiths is a capable and competent commander who has always been dedicated to serving the local community. He has done that in his capacity as a superintendent of both the Sutherland Shire Local Area Command and the merged Sutherland Shire Police Area Command over the past six years. I was recently told a story about Superintendent Griffiths which highlights the depth of his care and the lengths that he has gone to for the community. It is about the recent fires in the western part of the shire, in Menai, Alfords Point and Barden Ridge.

  • Barton Deakin Brief: 2019 NSW State Election 28 February 2019
    Barton Deakin Brief: 2019 NSW State Election 28 February 2019 The 2019 New South Wales (NSW) State Election will be held on Saturday 23 March 2019, with the incumbent Liberal-National Coalition Government seeking a third term in office following its wins at the 2011 and 2015 state elections. The Coalition is led by the Premier and Leader of the NSW Liberal Party, the Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP. The Opposition is led by the Leader of the NSW Labor Party, the Hon Michael Daley MP. The NSW Government will officially entered caretaker mode on 1 March 2019. This Barton Deakin Brief previews the 2019 NSW State Election. Electoral System Under the NSW Constitution, elections are held on the fourth Saturday in March every four years. NSW is divided into 93 electorates (comprehensive electoral maps can be accessed here), with one representative elected from each electorate to the Legislative Assembly, the Lower House. The 42 members of the Legislative Council, the Upper House, represent NSW as a whole across an eight-year term. At each State election, half these members retire and an election is held for 21 positions. NSW has compulsory voting. Optional preferential ballots are conducted in single-member seats for the Legislative Assembly and across the entire State for the proportionally elected Legislative Council. Current Parliamentary Composition At the 2015 NSW State Election, the Liberal and National Parties (the “Coalition”) received 54.3% of the state-wide two-party preferred vote, winning 54 seats to the Labor Party’s 34 seats in the Legislative Assembly. The result represented a 9.9% swing to Labor since the 2011 election.

  • Appendix 3I Border Anomalies
    3I-1 Appendix 3I Border Anomalies Appendix 3I first describes articles or letters on border anomalies that have appeared in the Albury-Wodonga area Border Mail newspaper. A compilation of literature extracts on border anomalies and closely related subjects is then presented in Table 3I-2. Articles and Letters on Border Anomalies in the Albury-Wodonga Border Mail Newspaper The Border Mail newspaper has served Albury-Wodonga and surrounding areas since 1903 (Border Mail website, accessed 2 September 2005) and has an extensive archive of articles, from recent years at least, which can be accessed via the internet. Its website states that the Border Mail "is distributed throughout a 130km radius of Albury Wodonga with the average daily circulation being 26,790 (ABC 2000)". It is also "just one of four independently owned newspapers in regional Australia". A search through the Border Mail archive revealed that at least 87 articles or letters to the editor have appeared in the Border Mail on the subject of Border Anomalies between March 2001 and August 2005. And at least 11 such articles mentioned the estimated number of such anomalies, as summarised in Table 3I-1 below. It is probably impossible to determine a single exact number of border anomalies. A greater or lesser number could be estimated depending on whether such anomalies are defined more narrowly or more broadly. Anomalies associated with criminal laws, for example, could be considered as just a single anomaly associated with criminial law as a whole, or hundreds or even thousands of anomalies at the level of slight differences in legal definitions and processes associated with each separate category of crime and criminal law.

  • Comprehensive Albury Timeline
    ALBURY & DISTRICT TIMELINE Please advise any corrections or omissions to [email protected] This timeline is to reflect more recent interpretations of history. Pre- Pre-European settlement: Indigenous people occupied this part of the Murray Valley for 1824 tens of thousands of years. By the 1820s those in the Albury district spoke a Wiradjuri language, though may have recently displaced a group known as the Jeihi. Different language groups occupied areas south of the Murray. Most people would have spoken more than one language. The Wiradjuri, the largest nation in NSW, occupied a large west of the Great Dividing Range. In 1824, Wiradjuri warriors, led by Windradyne, fought a war against the British in the Bathers district, ending in an extermination campaign that massacred indigenous men, women and children. Weeks later, and against this background, Hume and Hovell led an expedition through Wiradjuri country from Yass to Albury, but encountered no hostility from the Wiradjuri. Historians believe that in the 1840s indigenous Australian groups in the Albury-Wodonga region were still numerous. In later decades, many died as a consequence of settler violence, being pushed off their lands and contracting diseases brought by the Europeans. Indigenous Australians occupation of the district began as early as 40,000 years ago – it was Wiradjuri Ngurambanggu country, an area known as Bungambrawatha; the Murray River was known as Milawa Billa; the meeting ground east of Albury known as Mungabareena; and Dight’s Hill to the west of Albury known as Jingera. A large rock, has been placed at Mungabareena inscribed, ‘Gawaimbanna-Gu Wiradjuri Nguranban’ – ‘Welcome to Wiradjuri Country.’ Official unveiling ceremony November 19, 1994 by Mayor Jim Paterson and Pastor Cec Grant Wiradjuri elder.
