(The Hon. Shelley Elizabeth Hancock) took the chair at 12 noon. The Speaker read the Prayer and acknowledgement of country. VISITORS The SPEAKER: Order! I welcome the students in the gallery who are visiting Parliament today. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE Notices of Motions General Business Notices of Motions (General Notices) given. Pursuant to sessional order private members' statements proceeded with. PRIVATE MEMBERS' STATEMENTS __________ TRIBUTE TO CARLO FAVORITO Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) [12.13 p.m.]: I acknowledge in this House the contribution of former Canterbury Councillor Carlo Favorito, who served the residents of east ward of Canterbury City Council for more than 27 years and who was also a member of the Liberal Party for many decades. He was also formerly a Liberal candidate for the State electorate of Canterbury. Mr Favorito died peacefully on Tuesday night in hospital, surrounded by family and friends after a long battle with dementia. He was 75 years old. Mr Favorito arrived in Australia more than 40 years ago from Italy to carve out a better life for his family and established a very successful real estate agency in Earlwood in 1970. He was a former managing director of Century 21 Favorito Real Estate and was also active in public life—as I mentioned, he gave 27 years of service to the residents of east ward of Canterbury City Council. He was elected to council in 1984 and worked tirelessly for his constituents until his retirement in October 2011. It is fitting that Canterbury City Council decided only last year to name a space adjacent to the Earlwood Senior Citizens Centre, on the corner of Homer Street and Joy Avenue, the Carlo Favorito Square. I have known Carlo Favorito and his family for a very long time. The renaming of this square honours him, his hard work and his commitment to his local community, which he served for such a long time. As I mentioned, Carlo arrived in Australia some 40 years ago, later he established a very successful real estate agency in Earlwood and he was very active in the local chamber of commerce. The agency, Century 21 Favorito Real Estate, continues to operate today and is run by his son, daughter and granddaughter together with the entire extended family. In 2004 the New South Wales local government association awarded Councillor Favorito the outstanding service award in recognition of his work on the council, particularly with regard to the Canterbury traffic committee and the city development committee. The naming of the square acknowledges that Carol Favorito is the longest serving councillor in the history of the City of Canterbury. It pays homage to a man who dedicated himself to a life of public service. I also put on the record that as part of that council he was joined by and worked closely with many current councillors, including Mayor Brian Robson and of course Liberal councillor and good friend Michael Hawatt. Despite retiring a few years ago, Carlo remained a popular figure in the Canterbury community, and Earlwood in particular, and it was only appropriate that the council name this square in his honour to mark his dedication and his many years of service as a councillor on Canterbury City Council. On behalf of my family, I extend to his wife, Josie, and the Favorito family my sincere condolences at the passing of this great man who contributed so much to the local community. Rest in peace, Carlo Favorito. 21 March 2016 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY 7817 PORT KEMBLA COMMUNITY INVESTMENT FUND Ms NOREEN HAY (Wollongong) [12.17 p.m.]: On the weekend Mr Gareth Ward, the Parliamentary Secretary for the Illawarra and South Coast, announced a $99 million Port Kembla Community Investment Fund, which will see $1 million each year pumped into the community. I am on the record as opposing the sale of the port, and I stand by my position at that time. I remind the House, as I have done in the past, that no letters were received from me requesting a share of the money until after the port was sold and the
