BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Postponement of Business Government Business Orders of the Day Nos 1 to 3 postponed on motion by the Hon. Tony Kelly. FIREARMS ACT 1996: DISALLOWANCE OF FIREARMS AMENDMENT REGULATION 2009 The PRESIDENT: Pursuant to standing orders the question is: That the motion proceed as business of the House. Question resolved in the affirmative. Motion by Ms Lee Rhiannon agreed to: That the matter proceed forthwith. Ms LEE RHIANNON [11.10 a.m.]: I move: That, under section 41 of the Interpretation Act 1987, this House disallows the Firearms Amendment Regulation 2009, published on the New South Wales Legislation Website on 13 November 2009 and tabled on 24 November 2009. This regulation seeks to allow security guards, if authorised, to possess and use pistols and certain shotguns that they are currently not permitted to use. It will expand the range of weapons available for security guards to use in carrying out their duties and to store in their homes. The change means that security guards can use high-powered handguns and shotguns. We must ask why such a regulation is necessary. What significant event has occurred to warrant New South Wales gun ownership laws being watered down? Why would we encourage the circulation of high-powered firearms within the community when we should be doing the opposite? Since the Port Arthur massacre in 1996 it has been clear that there was a loophole in those laws; and while we banned semiautomatic long arms, we did not ban semiautomatic short guns, which is clearly needed. What we are seeing here is a weakening of the laws, not taking them in the direction of ensuring that public safety is the top priority. The types of firearms that this regulation would allow individual security guards to own are the same types of firearms used by Allen Xiang. Armed with five loaded handguns, Mr Xiang, on 21 October 2002, killed two classmates and wounded five others at Monash University. In the six months before these killings Mr Xiang became a licensed gun owner and bought seven firearms, including a CZ 9-millimetre handgun that was used in the shooting. Prior to the shootings he had become a member of the Sporting Shooters Association and had attended target practice. Ammunition holsters, firearm cleaning instruments and another two Beretta pistols were also found in his home. These are some of the weapons that security guards can now use under the regulation we are debating. 10 March 2010 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL 21127 The regulation will also allow security guards to own the same type of weapons used on 13 March 1996 by Thomas Hamilton, who shot and killed 16 children, one adult and then himself in Dunblane Primary School, Scotland. This was the deadliest single targeted mass murder of children in the history of the United Kingdom. Hamilton used two 9-millimetre Browning high-powered pistols and two Smith and Wesson 357 magnum revolvers. Again, these are the types of firearms that the Government thinks is okay for New South Wales security guards to use. Again, I remind members that it has not been established why security guards need to have a wider choice of weapons. They are already armed; they already have many weapons to choose from. Why should these extremely dangerous weapons be made available to security guards? Crime statistics show that more of these weapons are being stolen and are moving into the illegal market. Theft of firearms is on the rise across Australia and particularly in New South Wales. What these weapons have been used for, and the fact that more of these weapons are falling into illegal hands, is relevant to this debate. A report by the Australian Institute of Criminology showed that 1,712 firearms were reported stolen in Australia between 2007 and 2008. This was an increase of close to 200 from the previous year. Almost a quarter of these thefts occurred in New South Wales. More recently, on 20 October 2009, 12 semiautomatic high-powered Glock handguns were stolen from the security firm with the interesting name of Westshore in Morley, Western Australia. Over a period of six weeks from November to December 2009, 18 firearms were stolen from private residences in Mount Isa, Queensland. On 13 January this year the Sydney Morning Herald reported that in New South Wales there is a growing trend for criminals robbing armed vans and stealing the guns of private security guards. So it is obvious that changing the regulation to allow security guards to access a wider range of dangerous weapons will result in more of these weapons ending up in circulation. That cannot be disputed. Less than 70 per cent of stolen firearms are recovered by police. It is believed that the majority of them make their way onto the black market. This situation is bad enough without a further dilution of gun control laws by unnecessarily putting high-powered weapons into the hands and homes of security guards. It is clear that the theft of guns is on the rise and that security guards are being targeted by individuals looking to get their hands on these weapons. In light of this, it is expected that a responsible government would introduce regulations to remove high-powered firearms from circulation and make it tougher to access them. We should be seeing legislation come before this House if the Government and the Opposition are sincere when they take up their law and order agendas. That is where we need to tighten the current laws. As I said, this regulation will facilitate increased circulation of these firearms. This is not the first instance of the New South Wales Government introducing legislation or regulations that weaken the gun ownership laws. New South Wales has the dubious distinction of being the first State to water down the national uniform gun laws adopted after the Port Arthur massacre. Let us remember that those national uniform gun laws were a big breakthrough. As I have said before in the House, and I am happy to say it again, it is to the credit of the former Prime Minister, John Howard, that after much public pressure—I certainly acknowledge that—he followed through and brought forward national uniform gun laws in the face of incredible and often angry opposition. In this debate the Government should set out why it has chosen to weaken the gun control regulatory regime, because that is the outcome we are facing.

  • Nsw Government Supports Bid to Bring Back the Bears
    NSW GOVERNMENT SUPPORTS BID TO BRING BACK THE BEARS Monday 30 August 2010 The NSW Government has thrown its support behind the Central Coast community’s push to bring back the Central Coast Bears – investing $100,000 to support the club’s bid for a National Rugby League licence. The funding will allow the Bears to appoint a strategic business manager, who will develop a business case to press the NRL for the Bears to become the Central Coast’s Rugby League team. The project manager also will be involved in community consultation, market research, data and information collection and reporting on the overall economic and community benefits of securing a NRL licence. “The Central Coast is a region in its own right and we think it deserves its own team in the Rugby League,” NSW Premier Kristina Keneally said. “We’re proud to support the people of the Central Coast in their bid to bring back the Bears.” Local State Labor parliamentarians David Harris, Grant McBride and Marie Andrews welcomed the announcement. “The Central Coast is a fantastic place to work, live, and visit,” Mr Harris said. “The Central Coast is also among the top three “nursery” regions for junior rugby league – which means it plays a key role in the development of new players for the code. “A regional team in the NRL will further boost the profile of this great area, helping attract business and investment to the region.” “We’ve seen from the success of the Mariners what a strong local sporting team means to our community,” Ms Andrews said.

    1162 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY Thursday 26 May 2011 __________ The Speaker (The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 10.00 a.m. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. TRIBUTE TO ROBERT GOULD Mr JOHN ROBERTSON (Blacktown—Leader of the Opposition) [10.00 a.m.], by leave: I acknowledge the students in the public gallery from St Andrews Primary School at Marayong. On behalf of the Opposition I acknowledge the passing of Bob Gould; a great contributor to this city's intellectual and political capital over many decades, who died suddenly on 22 May 2011. This House is a place of robust debate and differing· views. We often find ourselves in agreement on matters but more often in disagreement—sometimes quite passionate and heated disagreement. But regardless of which point on the political spectrum we come from I think we all agree that all points are needed. We agree that diverse views, contrary views, majority and minority views are all equally important contributors to the healthy and robust debate that underpins our democracy. We should never silence in this place the dissenting view but rather allow it to have its voice. There would not be one member of this House who can say that he or she has not experienced moments of being in the minority and yet was afforded the respect and right to state his or her case. Bob Gould was far more than the proprietor of the business that bears his name; he was also a great contributor to keeping this principle front and centre in the life of this city.

Massive investment in regeneration and renewal continues apace and Oldham has the region's largest town centre based indoor shopping area. Businesses are benefiting from the new M60 motorway which now puts Oldham less than 25 minutes away from Manchester Airport. Anew bus station and the anticipation of the Metrolink tram system coming to Oldham soon further strengthen the appeal of the town for investment and new opportunities. Add to this superb opportunities for education and training, including anew Business Management School, exciting developments in tourism and the arts like the newly opened Huddersfield Narrow Canal and the soon-to-be opened Art Gallery and the desirability of Oldham becomes even clearer.
