  • Mandatory Sentencing ______
    SYDNEY LAW SCHOOL Distinguished Speakers Program 15 May 2014 __________________________ MANDATORY SENTENCING ____________________________ Nicholas Cowdery AM QC Adjunct Professor, Sydney Institute of Criminology Former Director of Public Prosecutions, NSW Former President, International Association of Prosecutors Inaugural Co-Chair, Human Rights Institute, IBA Member, NSW Sentencing Council ________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION In her evidence to the Independent Commission Against Corruption in March 2014, former Labor Premier of NSW, Kristina Keneally, said of a particular allegedly falsified Cabinet Minute from the time of the Labor government: “This was the cabinet minute that wouldn't die until I drove a stake through its heart.'' Unfortunately, we are still waiting for the politician to come along to drive a stake through the heart of mandatory sentencing. Instead, it rises from its grave periodically, shifting its shape (as mandatory sentencing, mandatory minimum sentencing, grid sentencing, “baseline” sentencing, arguably standard non-parole periodsi and so on) and haunting us apparently at the whim of the politicians in power. I am delighted to have been asked to present this lecture, sponsored by the Rule of Law Institute of Australia, of which I am a Board Member. This is a serious issue for the rule of law and for criminal lawmakers and legal practitioners and academics everywhere. It is not the first time I have spoken on this subject and I shall come back to the position in Victoria a little later. CRIME AND PUNISHMENT First, a few comments about crime and punishment. Crimes are created by politicians – they legislate to proscribe certain conduct and to create penalties for breach of those proscriptions.

  • MEADOWBANK EDUCATION and EMPLOYMENT PRECINCT SCHOOLS PROJECT - STATE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION No: SSD-9343
    RE: SUBMISSION - MEADOWBANK EDUCATION and EMPLOYMENT PRECINCT SCHOOLS PROJECT - STATE SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION No: SSD-9343 Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission. I object to the planning application to relocate Marsden High School situated since 1959 (60 years) on an attractive spacious 5.4 hectare site with excellent transport links at 22a Winbourne St, West Ryde (close to Victoria Rd) to part (about 60%, that is approximately 1.98 hectares) of the 3.3 hectare site adjacent to the TAFE NSW Meadowbank Campus at 2 Rhodes St Meadowbank. The application aims to increase built capacity for high school students, ultimately catering for 1,500 students and a 120 place Intensive English Centre (IEC), that is, 1,620 students and provide high quality classrooms and collaborative learning spaces. There is a need for more classrooms for high school students, but the application seeks to crowd 1,620 students into a 1.98 hectare area which is only 36%, or about a third, of the existing Marsden High School site. This does not make sense planning or educational sense. I note that a primary school catering for 1,000 students will be sharing the proposed 3.3 hectare school site, that is, 2,620 school students overall. Adjoining the site is the approximately 6 hectare TAFE campus which will cater for 13,000 to 14,000 students and is subject to a separate State Significant Development Application. In contrast, nearby Epping Boys High School enjoys a 9.15 hectare school site. Essentially I consider the planning for the high school as outlined in the application documents to be flawed as it lacks a holistic approach, lacks context, has a narrow, focus and contains some factual errors.

  • Excellence Innovation Success
    The fortnightly newsletter of Castle Hill High School EXCELLENCE INNOVATION SUCCESS Volume 10 29 June 2012 PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Trial Higher School Certificate countdown Students in Year 12 will have the opportunity in the coming holiday break to continue preparations for their Trial HSC examinations which will commence in Week 2 of Term 3 on Monday July 30. The careful management of the two week break so that there is plenty of timetabled study, together with selected recreational and leisure time is the perfect recipe for minimising stress. Students are encouraged to exercise and/or get some fresh air, eat well and healthily starting with a large delicious breakfast, sleep for at least 8 hours a night, drink water, establish a study timetable and follow it religiously, plan for treats like a film, favourite TV show or social occasions, organise and tidy the study area and restrict social media (perhaps even ban it for the fortnight!). For parents of HSC students, I say it every year (but I think it’s worthwhile repeating) – all we can do is provide healthy, delicious food, back away from constant reminders about study (it’s definitely time to release them), offer a kind and ready ear, be particularly nice to them (even if they are moody and remote) and keep your fingers crossed. The Higher School Certificate is without question one of life’s great challenges, so much more public, accountable and competitive than ever. There is so much pressure on young people these days. Our support of them is critical. New pergolas The final touches have just been made to our new shade structures.
