Legislative Assembly 17850 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Tuesday 22 September 2009 __________ The Speaker (Mr George Richard Torbay) took the chair at 1.00 p.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Notices of Motions General Business Notices of Motions (General Notices) given. PRIVATE MEMBERS' STATEMENTS __________ BONDI ROAD CLEARWAY PROPOSAL Mr PAUL PEARCE (Coogee) [1.09 p.m.]: Today I bring to the attention of the House a matter of concern to my electorate, namely, the proposal by the Roads and Traffic Authority to create a clearway on the southern side of Bondi Road westbound, between the hours of 3.00 p.m. and 7.00 p.m. every Saturday, Sunday and public holiday from December until the end of February. This system was trialled last year and was found to be detrimental to my community. The Roads and Traffic Authority guaranteed that a full review would be undertaken, including the impact on the community and local businesses along Bondi Road. The Roads and Traffic Authority produced a typical report, which deals purely with traffic flow issues. The history of the matter is that for a number of years the Roads and Traffic Authority wanted a clearway down Bondi Road to increase the amount of traffic going to Bondi Beach. In reality, once motorists reach the beach, there is nowhere to park. It is fairly common knowledge that if every resident with a vehicle in Bondi Beach in fact parked their car on the road, there would be more cars than there are on-street parking spaces, and that is before any visitors arrive! The rationale of encouraging more traffic into the Bondi basin is nonsensical. I will leave the debate on that to my colleague the member for Vaucluse in whose electorate Bondi is situated. My concern relates to the southern side of Bondi Road in the electorate of Coogee. The Roads and Traffic Authority carried out a trial under the guise of creating improved public transport flow. I have a copy of the report and assessment on this matter prepared by the Roads and Traffic Authority. It should be noted that the report contains a number of fallacies. For a start, the measurement refers to traffic flow and does not involve any increase in bus journeys. The only difference is a couple of minutes saved from point to point in bus journeys; there is no increase in the number of bus journeys. However, there is an increase in the amount of traffic flowing up Bondi Road in a westerly direction. Therefore, the argument that this will encourage greater public transport usage is nonsense. To the contrary, it will encourage people to drive their vehicles into the Bondi basin in the false expectation they will have somewhere to park and then be able leave the area. The proposal fails to take into account the detrimental affect this will have on the amenity of the area. Interestingly, the Roads and Traffic Authority sent out surveys to residents, covering virtually the entire area of the basin between Bondi Road and Curlewis Street to the north. However, the impact is on the southern side of Bondi Road in the electorate of Coogee, where surveys were only handed out back one street length into the neighbourhood. Needless to say, very few responses were received. However, I circulated a couple of thousand letters and received many responses from residents in that area in opposition to the proposal. I have also been in regular contact with the chamber of commerce. I state for the information of the House that with respect to the loss of access by vehicles into Bondi Road shopping centre, 17 per cent of respondents who were surveyed had driven into Bondi Road, which is a strip shopping centre with limited off-street parking. The Roads and Traffic Authority has dismissed the argument of traders on the basis that they did not provide the authority with financial data that indicated a fall in profits. First, the Roads and Traffic Authority had no right to ask for that data and, second, a number of traders 22 September 2009 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY 17851 indicated a willingness to provide the data on a commercial-in-confidence basis. Those businesses are suffering a 10 per cent to 15 per cent reduction in trade on Saturday and Sunday afternoons and public holidays. They are small businesses, the ones most affected, and this is a critical period in their trading week. The Roads and Traffic Authority is dismissing the rights of those traders and this may result in the decline of this strip shopping centre. The only beneficiary in this instance will be Westfield at Bondi Junction. There is also some half-baked proposal in relation to parking alternatives, which assume availability for a residential parking scheme on the southern side. This survey shows that these parking spots are already 90 per cent occupied. These are all residential properties and there is no capacity for a residential parking scheme in that area to offset the loss of parking in Bondi Road. It will be a net loss for Bondi Road, a net loss to my community, and I call on the Roads and Traffic Authority to rethink this nonsense. TANILBA BAY FITNESS CENTRE PROPOSAL TILLEGRA DAM Mr CRAIG BAUMANN (Port Stephens) [1.14 p.m.]: Today I speak about two petitions currently circulating in my electorate, both very different but both sparking a great deal of interest in Port Stephens. The first is a petition put together by stage three students at St Philips Christian College, Salamander Bay. The students are currently studying the role of government and they decided to experience the State parliamentary system for themselves by presenting a petition on an issue of which the children are very supportive, that is, providing more services and things to do for young people in Port Stephens, particularly on the Tilligerry Peninsula where youth crime is a serious concern. The students decided a possible solution to the problems facing youth in Port Stephens was to establish a fitness centre on the site of a disused supermarket at Tanilba Bay. The proposal has some merit; the fitness centre could provide a range of activities for children, getting them healthy and active and giving them something to do rather then being caught up in vandalism and other antisocial activities. Earlier this month I visited St Philips Christian College at Salamander Bay where the students explained to me what the petition was all about and also told me what they had learnt about government so far. For years 5 and 6 students, their knowledge was impressive. This was really apparent when it came to question time. Some students clearly had a good grasp of the parliamentary process, with one asking specifically how many debates I had won in this House. Regardless of whether the school's petition, which already has hundreds of signatures, will gain any traction with the Government, it is certainly a fruitful learning exercise for the students, and I look forward to tabling the petition later this year. Petitions in Port Stephens have proven to be effective in forcing this State Government to wake up and listen. One example is the Myall River issue. I have raised the issue of the ailing river in this House many times as well as the subsequent pleas for help from the local community. In answers to questions on notice and during Question Time, as well as in local media reports, the Government has repeatedly refused to acknowledge any serious problems with the river, despite mass fish kills, murky brown water and drastically low salinity levels. In October last year I tabled a petition from the local community with more than 3,000 signatures calling on the Government to address the issue. Today, after continued lobbying, a public protest and a private meeting with the Minister, the Government has finally agreed to fund a study into how to fix the Myall River— an admission there is something wrong. This is an unbelievable win for the people of Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest. Now the people of Port Stephens are turning their attention to a fresh petition—fighting increased water charges to fund the Government's ludicrous Tillegra Dam project. Let me start by saying water storages in the Hunter region are currently at around 95 per cent capacity, and have been for some time. Even in the thick of the recent drought, one of the worst on record, Port Stephens still did not go on water restrictions. Yet this Labor Government, in all its wisdom, is planning to increase water charges for Hunter water ratepayers by more than $200 over the next four years to pay for the Tillegra Dam, and that is after pulling over $300 million out of Hunter Water surpluses in the last few years. The Tillegra Dam, at least where the Hunter is concerned, is not needed and certainly is not wanted. There is a huge question mark over exactly who is going to use the water storages of the Tillegra Dam. Is it the Hunter, the Central Coast or Sydney? Just last week, freedom of information documents revealed the Government has intentionally stopped referring to the Central Coast in comments and material about Tillegra 17852 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY 22 September 2009 Dam, probably because the Government knows that will raise the ire of Hunter ratepayers, who are solely paying for a water supply for the Central Coast. Taxpayers in Port Stephens are already paying for the $2 billion desalination plant in Sydney that they will never use.

  • Inaugural Speech
    INAUGURAL SPEECH The PRESIDENT: I remind honourable members that this is the member's first speech and she should be given all due consideration. Before the honourable member starts, I welcome into my gallery members of the Hon. Rose Jackson's family, including her husband, Sam Crosby, their children, Oscar and Charlotte, her father, Mr Martin Butler, her mother-in-law, Mrs Bronwyn Crosby, and her brother, Joe. I also welcome into the public gallery the Hon. Chris Bowen, member for McMahon in the Australian Parliament. I welcome you all in the House this evening for the member's first speech. The Hon. ROSE JACKSON (18:01): The land we are on is called Eora. The first people here were the Gadigal. In 1909 this Parliament passed the Aborigines Protection Act, which gave legal force to the Aborigines Welfare Board and its wide-ranging control over the lives of Aboriginal people. In doing so, it introduced one of the deepest sources of our national shame by codifying the board's power to remove Aboriginal children from their families. I acknowledge the Gadigal today in this place not as a mere hat tip or commonplace convention but in solemn acknowledgement that the laws that gave the New South Wales Government power to steal the children of Aboriginal families, to take the babies from their mummies, were laws that were made in this very room, in this Parliament House, by our predecessors. The lives and resilience of the Gadigal should serve to inspire and humble us. They should stand as a profound warning: What we do here matters.

  • 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.

  • From Care to Custody: Young Women in Out-Of-Home Care in the Criminal Justice System
    From Care to Custody: Young Women in Out-of-Home Care in the Criminal Justice System Introduction Children in out-of-home care (those children removed from their homes and placed in state care by an order of the Children’s Court) are vastly over-represented in the New South Wales juvenile justice system. The Report of the Special Commission of Inquiry into Child Protection Services in New South Wales (Wood 2008) found that 28 percent of males and 39 percent of females in detention had a history of out-of-home care (Wood 2008:556). The much anticipated Strategic Review of the New South Wales Juvenile Justice System, released in April 2010, noted these figures and stressed that addressing the risk factors of out-of-home care and its links to the juvenile justice system was a ‘sound policy platform’ (Noetic Solutions 2010:88). This is a sadly familiar refrain. While the terminology may have changed (e.g. the term ‘state ward’ is no longer used to refer to this group), little progress has been made to reduce the number of children in care appearing before NSW courts and filling NSW’s juvenile detention centres. In 1992, the NSW Parliament’s inquiry into juvenile justice heard evidence that female state wards were ‘forty times more likely to be detained in custody than other girls’ and were ‘frequently unable to meet the bail conditions regarding an approved place of residence, by default remain(ing) in detention’ (Standing Committee on Social Issues 1992:141). Appalled, the Committee noted that ‘state wards are a particularly vulnerable group to involvement in the Juvenile Justice System’ and urged the then Department of Community Services (DoCS)1 and the Office of Juvenile Justice ‘to continue to monitor the numbers of state wards in the Juvenile Justice System with a view to developing strategies as to how best such young people might be diverted from contact with that system’ (Standing Committee on Social Issues 1992:54).

    Chapter 1 Introduction Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? Section 1.2: Problems of sex, gender and parliament Section 1.3: Gender and the Parliament, 1995-1999 Section 1.4: Expectations on female MPs Section 1.5: Outline of the thesis Section 1.1: ‘A fit place for women’? The Sydney Morning Herald of 27 August 1925 reported the first speech given by a female Member of Parliament (hereafter MP) in New South Wales. In the Legislative Assembly on the previous day, Millicent Preston-Stanley, Nationalist Party Member for the Eastern Suburbs, created history. According to the Herald: ‘Miss Stanley proceeded to illumine the House with a few little shafts of humour. “For many years”, she said, “I have in this House looked down upon honourable members from above. And I have wondered how so many old women have managed to get here - not only to get here, but to stay here”. The Herald continued: ‘The House figuratively rocked with laughter. Miss Stanley hastened to explain herself. “I am referring”, she said amidst further laughter, “not to the physical age of the old gentlemen in question, but to their mental age, and to that obvious vacuity of mind which characterises the old gentlemen to whom I have referred”. Members obviously could not afford to manifest any deep sense of injury because of a woman’s banter. They laughed instead’. Preston-Stanley’s speech marks an important point in gender politics. It introduced female participation in the Twenty-seventh Parliament. It stands chronologically midway between the introduction of responsible government in the 1850s and the Fifty-first Parliament elected in March 1995.

    How the west was lost – the causes and consequences of under- investment in Western Sydney’s infrastructure How the west was lost – the causes and consequences of under-investment in Western Sydney’s infrastructure Mr Alex Gooding Director, Gooding Davies Consultancy Pty Ltd 1 Park Road Lawson, NSW 2783 [email protected] Word count: 5,000 (not including abstract, tables or footnotes) Suggested running head: How the west was lost Suggested key words: infrastructure, planning, public transport, Western Sydney - 2 - ABSTRACT The post-war era saw major suburban expansion in most Australian cities. Unfortunately this was coupled with substantial under-investment in infrastructure, especially public transport. In most cities this pattern of under-investment has been reversed over the last two decades, with Brisbane and Perth investing in rail infrastructure to deal with continued population growth. However, Sydney has failed to follow this trend, with plans for lines in Western Sydney being continuously announced and withdrawn. At the same time several rail lines serving the eastern Sydney have been constructed, a pattern set to continue with the current CBD Metro proposal. Investment in transport infrastructure in Western Sydney has largely been limited to motorways – predominantly funded by tolls – and to bus transitways. A number of factors causing this pattern are common to many Australian cities, but several are unique to Sydney. These include the pattern of development of Sydney’s infrastructure prior to the 1950s, its post-war pattern of growth, the recent and current political and economic environment and continuing resistance in some quarters to investment in public transport, especially rail infrastructure.
