The Speaker read the prayer and acknowledgement of country. [Notices of motions given.] Bills GAS LEGISLATION AMENDMENT (MEDICAL GAS SYSTEMS) BILL 2020 First Reading Bill introduced on motion by Mr Kevin Anderson, read a first time and printed. Second Reading Speech Mr KEVIN ANDERSON (Tamworth—Minister for Better Regulation and Innovation) (12:16:12): I move: That this bill be now read a second time. I am proud to introduce the Gas Legislation Amendment (Medical Gas Systems) Bill 2020. The bill delivers on the New South Wales Government's promise to introduce a robust and effective licensing regulatory system for persons who carry out medical gas work. As I said on 18 June on behalf of the Government in opposing the Hon. Mark Buttigieg's private member's bill, nobody wants to see a tragedy repeated like the one we saw at Bankstown-Lidcombe Hospital. As I undertook then, the Government has taken the steps necessary to provide a strong, robust licensing framework for those persons installing and working on medical gases in New South Wales. To the families of John Ghanem and Amelia Khan, on behalf of the Government I repeat my commitment that we are taking action to ensure no other families will have to endure as they have. The bill forms a key part of the Government's response to licensed work for medical gases that are supplied in medical facilities in New South Wales.

  • “Buster” Unplugged
    “BUSTER” UNPLUGGED. June 2001 Craig “Buster” Mottram is one of the most promising athletes seen in Australia for years. On the eve of his departure for Europe I was fortunate to catch up with Craig for a bit of a chat and a low fat blueberry muffin. N.M. Craig, you leave for Europe tomorrow. How long are you away and what races are scheduled in the lead-up to the World Athletic Championships in August? C.M. I will be away for about three months. First, I fly straight to London and spend a few days there before my first meet, a 3000 metre race in Helsinki on June 14. There‟s also a proposed meet in Lille on the 17th of June but I‟m not sure if I‟m in that yet - that will be a 2000 metre race. Then we move to Rome on the 29 of June for the big Golden League Meeting where I‟ll run the 5000 metres. That will be a new experience for me and I‟m sure it will be a very fast race and a good opportunity for me to run a good time. After that will depend on how I am running and what races are available. N.M. Is it quick times or scalps your aiming for? C.M. Quick times. If you run quick times, you‟ll get the scalps. N.M. What sort of quick times are realistic? C.M. It would be nice to run under 13:15. I‟m not going to say how far under - if I mention 13:10 Troopy might be annoyed! N.M.
