163. Remapping of old-growth and high-conservation-value public forests: resumption of the adjourned

debate (8 August 2019) of the question on the motion of Mr Field:

(1) That this House notes that:

(a) the Government is planning to allow logging in thousands of hectares of old-growth and

high-conservation-value public forests on the North Coast that have been off limits for

decades,

(b) these forests are rare and important ecosystems which provide irreplaceable habitat for many

threatened species, such as koalas, gliders, quolls, frogs and owls,

(c) they have been protected as part of the nationally agreed reserve system for decades and

have been granted state significant heritage protection for their historical significance,

including to Aboriginal people, aesthetic significance, research potential, rarity and valuable

habitat,

(d) this process is being driven by a desire to access more timber, based on a Forestry

Corporation calculation that new rules under the Coastal Integrated Forestry Operations

Approvals (CIFOA) to protect koala habitat and threatened ecological communities could

result in a small timber supply shortfall of up to 8,600 cubic metres per year,

(e) despite advice from the Natural Resources Commission (NRC) that this wood supply

shortfall “represent[s] the worst case scenario and may never be realised”, the Premier

requested the NRC consider remapping old growth forests and rainforests to meet this

shortfall,

(f) a pilot study of 13 areas of state forest found that remapping could open up 78 per cent of

protected old growth forest to logging, despite all sites having vitally important habitat,

(g) the Government has committed over $2 million to this remapping process, despite this cost

far outweighing the $1.5 million value of buying back the contracts for the maximum

claimed timber shortfall,

(h) the funding is being provided by the Government despite the NRC recommending that any

remapping and rezoning should be paid for by Forestry Corporation as the beneficiary, and

(i) remapping on private land has already opened up over 29,000 hectares of previously

protected old growth forests to logging in recent years.

(2) That this House agrees that remapping old growth forests:

(a) breaks the Government’s commitment to no erosion of environmental values under the new

CIFOA,

(b) is based on timber supply impacts that are not verified and probably do not exist, and

(c) is a subsidy to logging which exceeds the value of the extra wood supply.

(3) That this House call on the Government to:

(a) end the remapping and rezoning of old-growth and rainforest on public and private land,

(b) ensure no areas of forest currently protected will be opened up to logging, and

(c) conserve native forests to protect biodiversity, store carbon and provide new tourism and

recreational opportunities—Mrs Maclaren-Jones. (15 minutes)

"2. That this House notes that the House and its committees have consistently maintained that so-called

statutory secrecy provisions, that is, provisions in statutes which prohibit in general terms the

disclosure of certain categories of information, have no effect on the law of privilege, including the

common law power of this House to order the production of State papers, unless they do so

expressly or by necessary implication.


3. That this House further notes that this position has recently been expressly accepted by the Solicitor-

General and the Crown Solicitor in a legal opinion provided to the Auditor General concerning the

powers of parliamentary committees, in which the Crown Solicitor observed:

The Solicitor General expressed the general view that a statutory prohibition on disclosure

of information will only be held to apply to disclosure to a Parliamentary committee if that

is done expressly or by necessary implication.

I defer to the views of the Solicitor General. … I would only add that the principle applied

by the Solicitor General - that legislation will be presumed not to diminish the “privileges”

of Parliament or its committees, unless it does so expressly or by necessary implication -

has been accepted in several Australian cases.

4. That notwithstanding the power of the House to order the production of State papers subject to

statutory privacy or secrecy provisions, the documents returned to the House under this order of the

House be redacted to remove information subject to the privacy and secrecy provisions of the

Taxation Administration Act 1996."—Mr Buttigieg speaking. (3 minutes remaining)

(c) people with disability must be the decision-makers about their lives and advocacy can assist

people with disability to be fully able participate in decision-making, and

(d) while the NDIS has increased the need for advocacy, it only adds to the full range of work

advocacy organisations do, including improving access to education, transport, housing,

health, justice and more.

2. That this House calls on the Honourable Gareth Ward MP, Minister for Disability Services, to

commit to:

(a) releasing the New South Wales Ageing and Disability Commissioner’s report into disability

(Notice given 13 October 2020—expires Notice Paper No. 79)

824. Mr Latham to move—

That this House:

(a) condemns Westpac for the closure of its 110-year-old branch in Argyle Street, Camden, at a time

when the Camden main street is suffering from two bad building fires and the impact of recession,

and

(b) notes how the more governments assist the big banks, such as the current RBA policy of buying

bank securities, the more the banks mistreat and betray local communities.




That this House: urges the Government to abandon its faulty, poorly designed State Environmental

Planning Policy (Koala Habitat Protection) and instead, act decisively to protect known koala habitats such

as the Kentlyn/Wedderburn/Gilead corridor in South-West Sydney.




(a) the recent Netflix documentary, My Octopus Teacher, has captivated audiences by showing

the rich and complex life of an octopus living in the wild,

(b) octopuses are highly intelligent creatures who have the largest brains of any invertebrate,

relative to their size,

(c) octopuses can exhibit complex behaviours, most notably their ability to change colour and

shape when hunting or hiding from predators, as well as more human-like behaviours such

as navigating mazes, solving puzzle toys and opening jars,

(d) research has shown that octopuses enjoy play, are capable of foresight and have their own

unique personalities that they can pass on to their children,

(e) there is increasing evidence, recognised by RSPCA Australia, that octopuses can feel pain,

and

(f) despite this, octopuses are commercially fished throughout Australia for human consumption

without regard to their suffering, and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979 does

not even recognise octopuses as ‘animals’, which means they have no legal protection

against animal cruelty.

(2) That this House calls on the Government to urgently amend the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

Act 1979 so that octopuses and their cephalopod relatives can be legally protected from animal

cruelty




(a) foie gras is a fatty liver paté that comes from sick, diseased ducks and geese,

ourselves and our environment,

(d) Nutrition Australia NSW is a non-government, non-profit, community based organisation

that:

(i) promotes optimal health by encouraging food variety and physical activity,

(ii) facilitates understanding of good nutrition

(iii) provides education programs for early learning centres, schools, workplaces and aged

(a) the Government is proposing to fast-track preliminary works towards the construction of the

Wyangala and Dungowan Dam projects during October,

(b) these proposed fast-tracked works are occurring outside an approvals process and lack any

transparency, with no business case or environmental impact statement having been

produced ahead of preliminary works,

(c) there is widespread concern that these projects are being fast-tracked without an

understanding of the significant impacts they will have on downstream communities, and

(d) towns in regional New South Wales are no longer facing the prospect of ‘day zero’ removing

any current critical need for these projects along with the justification to fast-track them

before all studies and approvals are completed.

(2) That this House calls on the Government to suspend the fast-tracking of the Wyangala and

Dungowan Dam projects and ensure that no work will commence until such time as all approvals

are in place.

Electrical Trades Union attended the Wellington solar farm site, was denied entry on

Tuesday 15 September 2020 and after briefly entering the site on Wednesday 16 September,

was taken against his will by the site manager to the Wellington Police Station.

(2) That this House

(a) further notes that a number of solar farms are currently under construction across regional

NSW,

(b) supports renewable energy as an important part of reducing the cost of electricity for NSW

households and businesses,

Federal consumer laws, New South Wales regulations requiring fibre content labelling of textile

slaughterhouse practices as factory-farmed animals,

stocking densities of up to 10,000 animals per hectare, while still promoting themselves as

(c) condemns the Federal Government for not providing infrastructure funding in its October Budget

to overcome the third world transport planning, as noted in paragraph (b), by building the Badgerys

Creek-Leppington fast rail link,

(d) notes the foolishness of the Federal Government in not overcoming this rail link problem as it plans

to privatise the new Badgerys Creek Airport after its opening in 2026, with the rail transport debacle

everything they can to make the new airport a white elephant, and

a slow, painful death in the ocean,

fin, making it difficult to trace and enforce this crime.

legislation that would make it an offence sell or consume shark fins.




(a) the Bolivian people made their voices heard in yesterday’s general election, re-electing the

landslide, and

(b) the MAS party victory followed them being deposed in a far-right, US-backed, military coup

last year.

(2) That this House recognises that:

(a) the United States government has a sordid history of backing right-wing coups against

democratically elected socialist governments, particularly in Latin American, and

(b) the Bolivian people should be congratulated on restoring democracy and electing a

government that reflects their wishes, not those of the United States.




(a) odour and waste are common by-products of the intensive animal agribusiness industry,

which are primarily caused by the decomposition of mass amounts of faecal matter and dead

bodies,

be around, they can also pose a serious risk to human and animal health through the

production of harmful ammonia emissions, and

produce harmful nitrous oxide emissions that contribute to climate change, pollute soil and

surface water, and cause run off into the oceans.


(2) That this House acknowledges the serious problems associated with waste and odour produced by

the animal agribusiness industry in Australia.




(a) emus are one of Australia’s beloved native birds, appearing prominently on the

Commonwealth coat of arms,

(b) despite being a protected species in this state, emus are still commercially raised and

slaughtered for their meat, skin, oil, eggs and feathers under a licensing scheme, and

(c) in commercial emu farms, these majestic flightless birds will spend their lives in captivity,

where they are subjected to painful procedures like declawing and feather plucking, before

they are ultimately sent to a slaughterhouse where they will be stunned, hung upside down

while still alive and killed.

(2) That this House condemns the shockingly cruel treatment of an animal which we call our national

emblem.




(a) the Port of Newcastle has developed the concept for a multi-purpose deepwater terminal at

the Port of Newcastle must reimburse the State for compensation which the State has

promised to pay the private operators of Port Botany and Port Kembla if the Port of

Newcastle handles containers in excess of a cap, and

as a massive boost to exporters and economic activity in New South Wales.




That this House urges the Government to immediately remove dangerous gender fluidity Professional

Development courses from the New South Wales education system, starting with the NSW Teacher’s

Federation ‘LGBTIQ Inclusive Schools’ Webinar, most recently conducted on 4 August 2020 by Training

Officer Mel Smith, which instructed school teachers to:

(a) teach gender as a ‘social construct’ rather than biological science,

(b) include gender fluidity teaching in English, Maths, Human Society and its Environment (HSIE),

Personal Development, Health and Physical Education (PDHPE) and library lessons,

(c) organise excursions to the Sydney Aquarium solely on the basis of two male penguins hatching an

egg,

(d) study a drawing of a semi-naked androgynous child and understand that gender is determined solely

by how parents dress the child,

(e) refer to materials from GLSEN, notorious for its advocacy of ‘fisting’, and Minus18, notorious for

its advocacy of penis-tucking and penis-packing,

(f) not inform parents of any information teachers have regarding students coming out about their

gender or sexuality, with Mel Smith saying, “Of course it’s not okay to call people’s parents because

it may not be safe for that child if parents know, it could put them in an unsafe situation, it could

mean they are kicked out of home”, and

(g) appreciate that no copy or record of the Webinar would ever be available to participate again, a

deliberate strategy of keeping parents and the New South Wales public in the dark.

to suffer a number of injuries and illnesses, including acidosis, feedlot bloat, bovine

since feedlot operators are not legally required to provide cattle with any shade from the sun.

(2) That this House further notes that:

Daryl Maguire, the Premier has twice answered in writing, "This is a matter for the

(a) the Forestry Corporation of NSW have earmarked three new areas of South Brooman State

Forest for logging despite significant bushfire damage to the region with 80 per cent of the

region burned,

devastating and remove critical habitat from wildlife who are still recovering from the

bushfires, and

Forest and all other forests in regions that were significantly fire-affected.

percent of electors voted to ban greyhound racing,

(a) while animals in New South Wales should be legally protected from cruelty, significant

(b) even where basic protections do exist, crimes against farmed animals are rarely prosecuted

due to our failing enforcement system which requires private charities to have to fundraise

from the public to pay inspectors and prosecutors,

(c) the pitiful government funding given to animal welfare charities means that while there are

in New South Wales and creating a positive environment to promote Israel and her people,

(c) at the recent Annual General Meeting of the Zionist Council of NSW, Mr Rodney

Naumburger was elected President, having served previously as both Vice-President and

Treasurer of the Council, and

(d) Mr Naumburger is joined by Rebecca Lacey-Ehrlich and Orli Zahava as Vice-Presidents,

and Teneille Murray as Executive Director of the Zionist Council of NSW.

(2) That this House thanks the Zionist Council of NSW for its ongoing work in advocacy, education

and building understanding, particularly with young people.



(1) That this House recognises that animals have been used in war by humans since ancient times with:

(a) horses, donkeys, elephants, and camels transporting soldiers and supplies,

(b) pigeons facilitating long-distance communications between command and the battlelines,

and

(c) dogs acting as scouts, sentries, messengers and bomb detectors.

(2) That this House notes that besides the men and women who have fallen in war, their comrade, their

friend and often their protector, a horse, dog or donkey, have also fallen.


(3) That this House acknowledges reports from surviving soldiers which describe how a horse would,

upon hearing the sound of approaching shrapnel, lie across their 'master' to protect them and take

the worst themselves.

(4) That this House notes that, when the Hon Mark Pearson MLC was visiting le Somme and Pozieres

battlefields in France, he was shown that military buckles and horse shoes would be uncovered from

the earth of ploughed fields.


(a) understands that in the past there was no official recognition of the harm and suffering caused

to these animals and they were routinely abandoned or killed when no longer needed,

(b) notes that it has only been in recent times that Australian animals used in war have been

repatriated, for example, in World War I not one horse, out of the 130,000 sent, was returned

home, whereas we now make sure that our canine veterans are repatriated and cared for upon

their return, and

(c) is pleased that to compensate for previous lack of recognition, the Australian War Animal

Memorial Organisation has adopted the purple poppy which can be worn alongside the

traditional red one as a reminder that animals have and continue to lose their lives in war.

(6) That this House says “We will remember them all. Lest we forget.”




(a) approximately 25 million animals in Australia enter saleyards each year to be sold at auctions

to farms and abattoirs,

(b) busy animal saleyards are highly stressful for animals, starting from the time they are

unloaded from trucks and forced into pens using tools such as electric prods and dogs, and

(c) saleyard animals are crammed into pens so tightly they often cannot move around or stand

up if they fall down, without any protection from the burning sun or access to food and water,

for hours on end, until they are eventually sold to the highest bidder.

(2) That this House acknowledges the routine suffering of animals at saleyards, and the indignity of

treating these sensitive, intelligent living beings as mere objects that can be auctioned for sale.




(a) approximately 396 million fish and 3.8 billion shellfish are killed in Australia each year,

through a combination of recreational fishing, wild-catch commercial fishing and intensive

aquaculture,

(b) the number of fish killed each year can only be estimated, because the industry measures

their deaths by tonnage, rather than recognising the billions of individual animals affected,


(c) there is a growing body of scientific evidence which demonstrates that fish are highly

intelligent animals that feel pain and suffer in a similar way to humans, which is deeply

concerning given the cruel ways in which fish are killed by sharp fishing hooks, crushing in

fishing nets and suffocation, all without pain relief, and

(d) if fish could scream, we would not disregard their pain and suffering the way we do now.

(2) That this House recognises the painful and unnecessary death of each and every individual fish

killed for human consumption this year.




(a) the Government has announced plans to close three public schools in Murwillumbah, and

(b) the proposed plan is to create a single Murwillumbah Education Campus in 2024.


(a) the local community has raised significant concerns with the plan including the lack of

consultation with Parents and Citizens Associations, the Teachers Federation or local

teachers, and

(b) there are further concerns that the proposal is driven by a desire to flog off public land for

development.

(3) That this House notes that closures of public schools and the sale of public school sites across New

South Wales has left many growing communities without adequate facilities and this has been

widely recognised as a mistake.

(4) That this House calls on the Government to hit pause on the proposed closure and undertake a

comprehensive consultation process with the local community.




(a) on Tuesday 26 October 2020 police in Victoria forceably removed the land protectors who

were in place to protect trees sacred to the Djab Wurrung people,

(b) chainsaws and bulldozers then cut down the centuries old and culturally powerful directions

tree as part of a highway duplication project, and

(c) the role of police in facilitating the destruction of Aboriginal cultural heritage is seriously

concerning.

(2) That this House notes with concern that:

(a) Sydney solidarity action with the Djab Wurring people on Saturday 7 November was met

with a huge police presence from the NSW Police, and


(b) in the course of the protest the NSW Police claimed to be acting on the instructions of the

City of Sydney despite the fact no such instructions existed.

(3) That this House supports:

(a) the Djab Wurring people and all those allies who have stood with them to protect these

important cultural sites, and

(b) the work of Australian Greens Senator Lidia Thorpe in advocating for her community.

(4) That this House affirms the fundamental importance of cultural self-determination for First Nations

people in every state and territory in this country.




(a) Australia is the third fastest growing vegan market in the world,

(b) according to a report released by Food Frontier, one in three Australians are now consciously

limiting their meat consumption, and

(c) eliminating animal flesh and secretions from our diet has significant benefits for our health

and the environment, and saves the lives of roughly 100 animals every year.

(2) That this House congratulates and thanks all Australians who have adopted a plant-based diet.




(a) around the world, more than enough food is produced to feed the growing global population

– but more than 690 million people still go hungry,

(b) a major problem is that approximately 45 per cent of the world’s crop-based calories are

being used by the animal agribusiness industry and to generate biofuels, rather than directly

feeding humans,

(c) crop-based calories are being redistributed away from those going hungry, and are instead

being used as livestock feed to produce animal-sourced foods for affluent countries,

(d) because of the inefficient feed to flesh conversion ratio of eating animal foods, by simply

shifting toward plant-based eating, we would greatly improve the access, availability and

equity of the global food supply, and

(e) we need to urgently transition out of animal agribusiness, where animals are purpose bred

for their flesh or bodily fluids, and instead use crops to feed humans directly.

(2) That this House notes that we must all move toward a plant-based diet as a critical component to

ending world hunger and to ensuring there is enough food available to feed the world.





(a) The NSW Minister for Skills Mr Geoff Lee MP made a promise to TAFE teachers and

support staff in May 2020 which would have given them their first pay rise since November

2018, and

(b) TAFE Teachers and Related Employees have not received a pay raise in either 2019 or 2020,

while the cost of living has continued to increase.

(2) That this House affirms that a deal is a deal.

(3) That this House calls on the Minister to deliver a timetable for the much-needed pay rise to TAFE

workers by the end of this week.




(a) 140 years ago Willow Grove was built at 34 Phillip Street, and

(b) Willow Grove is a beautiful and important heritage site in Parramatta and much cherished

by locals and travellers alike.


(a) The Government’s plans for Willow Grove include essentially demolishing it and building

a replica elsewhere in Parramatta,

(b) This plan is opposed by the North Parramatta Residents Action Group, the Construction

Forestry Maritime Mining And Energy Union and Darug Elders among others, and

(c) On Tuesday 17 November the local community marched in Parramatta to stand up for the

crucial heritage of Willow Grove and against its proposed demolition.

(3) That this House calls on the Government to protect Willow Grove for future generations to enjoy.

(1) That this House affirms its support for those institutions of our civil society which make New South

Wales one of the most successful multicultural states in the Western Hemisphere.


(a) on 14 November 2020, the Armenian National Committee hosted its annual Gala and dinner

at the Doltone Ballroom, Sydney,

which Australians of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds can meet in the spirit of tolerance,

(c) the following community leaders were invited to the Gala:

(i) the former Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords, the Rt Hon Baroness Caroline Cox

of Queensbury,

(ii) Mr John Alexander MP,

(iii) Dr Hugh McDermott MP,

(iv) Mr James Robins,

(v) Revd the Hon. Fred Nile, MLC

(d) a topic of considerable debate during this year’s Gala was the ongoing conflict in the

Nagorno-Karabakh region, also known as the Republic of Artsakh, and the recent ceasefire

agreement, brokered by the Russian Federation, which has been entered into between the

parties, and this has given hope for peace in the region, and

(e) the terms of the ceasefire are:

(i) prisoners and the bodies of the deceased are to be swapped between the combatants,

(ii) internally displaced persons will be placed under the control of the UN Commissioner

for Refugees,

(ix) Azerbaijan to guarantee the safety of those in transit through the Lachin Corridor,

(x) Armenia to guarantee the safety of those in transit between Azerbaijan and the

Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic.


(a) we stand with the victims of this conflict and reaffirm our commitments to international

peace, and

commit to reinforcing values that we hold in common, namely, to promote peace and

goodwill between Australian’s of all ethnic and cultural backgrounds.



*944. Cannabis Legalisation Bill 2021: resumption of the adjourned debate of the question on the motion of

Ms Faehrmann : That this bill be now read a second time (5 calendar days from 18 February 2021)—Mrs






of Education, or the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning relating to Berry Patch

(a) on 12 November 2020, the owner of travelling reptile show ‘Crocodile Encounters’ appeared in

court over six charges of animal cruelty relating to his failure to provide food, water and veterinary

care to two lizards: a Bearded Dragon and a Spencer’s Monitor,

(b) an expert veterinarian found the emaciated lizards had not had enough food in five weeks or water

for three days, and the Bearded Dragon was suffering from hind limb paresis, a necrotic tail injury

and a skin condition due to inappropriate handling,

(c) the Court imposed a fine of just $2,528.14 to the owner of ‘Crocodile Encounters’ and refused the

RSPCA’s application to impose a five-year animal ban,

(d) the outcome of the ‘Crocodile Encounters’ case means that this convicted animal abuser can

continue to run his travelling reptile show, where he is responsible for the wellbeing of at least 21

animals, without any consequences, and

(e) the ‘Crocodile Encounters’ case highlights the complete failure of our current animal cruelty laws

to appropriately punish offenders and protect animals, and demonstrates the need for mandatory

animal bans for convicted animal abusers.





(a) approximately 6 million turkeys are slaughtered each year in Australia, with most being

killed for Christmas dinners,

(b) to meet Christmas time demand, turkeys can be slaughtered and then frozen for up to three

years prior to be sold at the supermarket,

(c) farmed turkeys are bred to grow and gain weight unnaturally quickly, so that they are ready

for slaughter at just 10-12 weeks old,

(d) the rapid growth of farmed turkeys can cause heart failure, fluid in the abdominal cavity and

bone fractures, as these animals struggle to stay upright under their unnatural body weight,

(e) health problems are exacerbated for turkeys kept in intensive confinement at high stocking

densities, where the lack of space and ability to move can cause lameness, foot pad burn,

hock burn, breast blisters and, in some cases, death, and

(f) male breeder turkeys are forced to grow so big they cannot naturally procreate, and so are

hand masturbated by workers in the animal agribusiness industry who then artificially

inseminate the female turkeys.

(2) That this House encourages everyone to keep turkeys off their plate this Christmas, and enjoy one

of the many healthy, delicious plant-based alternatives instead.




(a) the annual Family Matters Report has found that under current policy settings the number of

First Nations children in out-of-home care will more than double by 2029,

(b) First Nations children make up 37 per cent of the total out-of-home care population, but are

only 6 per cent of the total child population in Australia,

(c) First Nations children are 9.7 times more likely to be removed from their families than non-

Indigenous children,

(d) eighty-one per cent of First Nations children are on long-term guardianship orders, which

means they are in state care to the age of 18 and they are at serious risk of permanent

separation from their families, cultures and communities, and

(e) ninety-five per cent of adoptions of First Nations children have been to non-Indigenous

carers, and they all occurred in New South Wales and Victoria.

(b) address systemic racism in institutions like the Department of Communities and Justice that

harms so many First Nations families and children,

(c) invest in early intervention to help families stay together and keep First Nations children

with their families,


(d) address underlying issues that cause children to come into care such as transgenerational

trauma, poverty, family violence, drug and alcohol issues, mental health, and

elders central to decision-making about their kids.


958. Mr Shoebridge to move—'


(a) Recent information from the NSW Inspector of Custodial Services has revealed that women

at the Mary Wade Correctional Centre are subject to routine and random strip searches,

(b) An overwhelming number of women in prison have experienced significant trauma

including as victims of sexual abuse and domestic violence, meaning strip searches can be

particularly traumatising,

(c) Prisons in NSW do not collect data on the number of searches conducted, meaning it is

almost impossible to properly oversight the use of searches, and

(d) Strip searches are a serious invasion of personal privacy and dignity and their use should be

limited to the circumstances where they are truly necessary.


(a) On 19 November 2020 a coalition of civil society groups under the banner of the Ban Strip

Searches In NSW Coalition will be staging a protest at Silverwater Correctional Centre

against the strip searching of women prisoners.

land and aquatic animals that are farmed and killed annually by the Australian animal

agribusiness industry, and

(c) the Animal Justice Party's have addressed the enormous harm caused by animal

agribusinesses to animals, the environment and human health.


(2) That this House recognise that unless Australia makes a major shift towards plant-based agriculture,

billions more animals will suffer, the climate emergency will worsen, human health will deteriorate,

and our very existence on earth will remain under threat.


961. Mr Buttigieg to move—


(a) Cumberland Council’s economic position has been gravely impacted by the Government’s

forced amalgamations policy, the cost has been approximately 41 million dollars over the

last three years,

(b) in Cumberland Council’s 2020 Economic Statement, the General Manager, Hamish

McNulty indicated the Council is looking to outsource Education and Care services

including childcare, senior’s living units, the operations of its swim centres and placing

uncertainty over the future of golf courses and The Holroyd Centre,

(c) Cumberland Council has highly-rated education and care centres that have been vital for

community members, including; preschools, childcare centres, Out Of School Hours

Services and family day care. There are seventeen childcare centres benefiting 600 families,

some of those have been servicing the community for 30 to 40 years,

(d) loyal council workers have continued to carry out key services during the Covid-19

pandemic that ensure Cumberland’s diverse community is cared for, including children from

refugee communities, children with disabilities, and children from low income and

underprivileged families,

(e) Labor councillors are highly concerned that privatising Cumberland council services and

outsourcing jobs means that the Council will no longer be able to ensure they are delivering

inexpensive, culturally sensitive, disability friendly and high-quality services to the

Cumberland community and withdrawal of some services could occur,

(f) outsourcing services to the private sector will jeopardise the jobs of hard-working Council

employees,

(g) council staff and the United Services Union committed to work with the council to find cost

savings, in an effort to reduce costs and keep services in-house, and

(h) despite Mayor Steve Christou committing to work with staff and the United Services Union

on a solution, the Mayor has now walked away from his commitment.

(2) That this House condemns the decision of Cumberland Council Mayor Steve Christou and the

General Manager of the Council, Hamish McNulty to outsource essential Council services to the

private sector.

(3) That this House calls on Cumberland Council Mayor Steve Christou and the General Manager of

the Council, Hamish McNulty to not abandon loyal council workers and to stop proceeding with

the outsourcing of vital services for the Cumberland community.




(1) That the Procedure Committee inquire into and report on the appropriateness of and alternatives to

(a) replacing the Lord’s Prayer with a minute’s silence for prayer and reflection,

(b) replacing the Lord’s Prayer with prayers from a number of different religions, to be recited

either together each day or in turn on separate days,

(c) replacing the Lord’s Prayer with a secular reflection on Members’ responsibility to the

a few times a year.

(3) That this House calls on the Government to allow special consideration of requests for longer visits

and other exemptions as needed for those who live more than 1 hour from the facility where their

family member is being held.



(1) That this House notes with concern the repeated failure of the Greater Sydney Commission to abide

for Agriculture and Western New South Wales, Mr Adam Marshall MP, with the

concurrence of the Minster for Energy and Environment, Mr Matt Kean MP, removed

protections in six sanctuary zones in the Batemans Marine Park by introducing an amnesty

on prosecutions for illegal fishing in these areas,

(b) this decision occurred without consultation, without notification of Native Title claimants,

was outside the current marine park review, and has no scientific basis,

(c). internal emails between National Parks and Wildlife Service staff said that “opening up

Sanctuary Zones even for a few months will very likely completely negate all the benefits

that have been built up over the past 10 years since these areas will be heavily targeted by

fishers, putting conservation outcomes and spill over benefits for fisheries in adjacent areas

back 10 years”,

(d) the International Union for Conservation of Nature has put Minister Kean on notice that the

internationally-recognised Green-listing of Montague Island is now at risk as a result of

removing protections in this area due to the implications for, and availability of, food sources

for the seabirds of Montague Island,

(e) since the amnesty announcement there has been a groundswell of support from the South

Coast community for the protection of sanctuary zones given their ecological and economic

value to the region, their role in supporting healthy fisheries and in building the resilience of

the marine environment to mitigate the impacts of climate change and pollution impacts, and

(f) on Saturday 21 November 2020, over 300 people, including families, recreational fishers,

traditional owners, scientists, divers, surfers, kayakers, business and ecotourism operators,

conservationists and other diverse users of the marine park, paddled their surfboards and

kayaks into the Batemans Marine Park at Narooma in support of the Save Batemans

Sanctuaries campaign, to send a message to the local member Mr Andrew Constance MP,

and the NSW Government that they want the marine sanctuaries restored and a evidence

based and transparent review of the Batemans Marine Park.


(a) immediately restore sanctuary protections in Batemans Marine Park, and

(b) return to a transparent and evidence based approach to the design and management of the

Batemans Marine Park.




(a) there have been five tragic deaths of food delivery drivers in five months,


(b) food delivery drivers the majority of whom are visa holders earn well below minimum wage

and have no access to leave, superannuation, workers compensation, training or safety

equipment, and

(c) during the pandemic, Uber Eats forced an estimated 44 per cent reduction in the pay and

conditions of food delivery workers while consumer spending on food delivery increased by

more than 350 per cent across some areas of Sydney.


(a) recognise that all workers have a right to fair pay and conditions,

(b) recognise that all workers must have the right to workers compensation if they are injured

or killed at work, and

(c) take steps to end the hyper exploitative cruel and dangerous abuse of gig economy workers

in the delivery industry.

and any requests for supplementary funding of the NSW Electoral Commission and make

recommendations to government as to its funding priorities in accordance with the resolution

Moama, housing up to 200 breeding dogs and 120 puppies, opened for public consultation,

(b) the development application was submitted by Ashley Fenn, who has previously been linked

to an illegal puppy farm in Victoria,

(c) since the Victorian Government banned puppy farms in 2018, an increasing number of

breeders are moving across the border into New South Wales to take advantage of our lax

animal protection laws, and

(d) as long as puppy farms remain legal in New South Wales, applications for large-scale puppy

factories will continue to overwhelm local councils and anger local communities, who do

not want to see dogs intensively farmed.

(2) That this House calls on the Government to urgently ban puppy farms in New South Wales.




(a) on 17 December 2020, the Port of Newcastle sent a contract shooter to kill a colony of cats

living on the Stockton Breakwall,

wounds and permanently blinded, while others were missing and presumed dead as a result

of this cruel, botched operation,

(c) many of the Stockton Breakwall cats had already been de-sexed and microchipped as part of

a long running, responsible trap-neuter-return and care program, while others had already

been rehomed, and

massive community outcry and protest.

(2) That this House condemns the cruel and unjustified actions of the Port of Newcastle, and calls on

the Government to support responsible trap-neuter-return and care programs.

(1) That this House notes that the following Greens-initiated Local Government NSW 2020 Conference

motion was carried by the Board of Local Government NSW on 11 December 2020:

"That Local Government NSW:


1. Notes that:

a. animal welfare and the care and control of companion animals are state

responsibilities in NSW but that these responsibilities are largely met by local

councils,

b. unscrupulous breeding in puppy farms financially impacts on councils due to

increased compliance costs and shelter, rehabilitation and rehoming costs, and

c. puppy farms are cruel and inhumane.

2. Notes that:

a. the Domestic Animals Amendment (Puppy Farms and Pet Shops) Act 2017 (Vic)

prohibited the sale of breeders’ puppies in pet shops and restricts the number of fertile

female dogs kept by breeders in Victoria,

b. Victoria’s tougher regulations resulted in large-scale breeders indicating they are

seeking sites in NSW to continue their activities, and

3. Urges the NSW Government to strengthen NSW Legislation to:

a. transition pet shops to registered not-for-profit adoption centres to rehome dogs and

puppies from approved rescue organisations and shelters,

b. limit animals kept by breeders and owners, including by limiting numbers of fertile

female dogs on premises,

c. ensure breeder identifications numbers are required for all litters, including the

removal of loopholes for “one-off litters”, and

d. instigate a common database and better co-ordination between enforcement agencies

across jurisdictions.

4. Notes that euthanasia is a significant concern to councils and residents across NSW and is

an animal welfare issue, and urges the NSW Government to act to reduce the rates of

unwanted and abandoned animals by:

a. funding free desexing programs and education programs for pet owners, especially in

areas with high dumping rates, and supporting more “pet-friendly” rental

1013. South32 Dendrobium Extension Project Approval Bill 2021: resumption of the adjourned debate of the

question on the motion of Mr Latham: That this bill be now read a second time (5 calendar days from 17

March 2021)—Mrs Maclaren-Jones. (20 minutes)



That this House strongly urges:

(a) the Minister for Families, Communities and Disability Services, the Honourable Gareth Ward MP,

and the Children’s Guardian to inform child care centres and preschools in New South Wales that

there is nothing in the Child Safe Standards guidelines that requires or justifies the reading of gender

diversity books to three and four year old children, and

(b) the Minister for Education and Early Childhood Learning, the Honourable Sarah Mitchell MLC, to

work with her federal counterpart to prevent the age inappropriate teaching of gender diversity

material in New South Wales preschools and child care centres.



That this House:

(a) condemns the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment Secretary, Mr Jim Betts, for his

insult to Indigenous people by persisting in paternalistic, virtue signalling gestures in New South

Wales strategic planning documents, the modern equivalent of offering beads and blankets,

(b) notes that the Draft Aerotropolis Precinct Plan, November 2020, facilitates the construction of an

international airport, large housing estates, commercial, tourism and industrial zones, and new

roads, rail lines and Metro stations, clearing away the vegetation and environment once occupied

by Indigenous people,

(c) condemns Mr Betts for trying to dress up this huge urban development pavement, concreting and

construction exercise as a “significant Connection to Country”, indeed, his false and misleading

claim that the number one driver of the Aerotropolis development is Indigenous “Connecting to

Country”,

(d) also condemns Mr Betts for placing Indigenous dot-patterns on the Aerotropolis plan, as if this

pathetically-shallow tokenism somehow makes the document Indigenous,


(e) urges the Minister for Planning and Public Spaces, Rob Stokes, MP, to get rid of Mr Betts for his

insults to Indigenous Australians and at least, recognise the truth, the full truth of what something

like the Aerotropolis is doing to the vegetation and environment once occupied by the Indigenous

peoples of Western Sydney, and

(f) also notes that the Indigenous consultation for the Aerotropolis plan involved just 132 people, or

0.22 per cent of Western Sydney’s Indigenous population, and the 132 were said to be suffering

“consultation fatigue”, again demonstrating the tokenism and shallowness of the Jim Betts

approach.




(a) when he released the Government's Net Zero Emissions by 2050 policy in March 2020, the

Minister for Energy and Environment, Matt Kean MP, could only identify 240 new jobs per

annum, compared to the 75,000 coal-reliant jobs in the Hunter Valley his policy puts at risk,

(b) Minister Kean also said on the parliamentary record that his Department had modelled the

Net Zero policy and had “used modelling by the Commonwealth Government for this

purpose”, the only Commonwealth modelling available to them was the 2019 CSIRO

Australian National Output Technical Report.

(c) the 2019 CSIRO report states:

(i) a carbon price of $200 per tonne is needed to get to Net Zero 2050, that is, eight times

higher than Julia Gillard’s carbon tax,

(ii) by 2050 every person in New South Wales will be $25,000 worse off under Net Zero

Emissions, compared to a no-policy-change outcome,

(d) when the Arden Government in New Zealand modelled its Net Zero 2050 policy, with an

exemption for agriculture, it identified a 16 per cent sacrifice in GDP growth and household

income, with the equivalent Australian figure at 30 to 40 per cent,

(e) the Deputy Premier, John Barilaro MP, has said that a Net Zero 2050 policy with no

exemptions will destroy agriculture and mining in our State,

(f) Minister Kean has said he supports a Federal Government exemption for agriculture, even

though his own 2050 policy includes agriculture, and

(g) when the Australian Workers Union and the Mining and Energy Division of the CFMMEU

briefed Federal Labor MPs in October 2020, they said that coal is needed in Australia for

decades to come and gas-power permanently for manufacturing jobs, they said that a ‘hard

switch’ to renewable energy in Australia puts at risk 250,000 resource sector jobs and over

3 million manufacturing and supply chain jobs, including 172,000 directly in Sydney.


(a) publicly release the economic modelling for the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 policy, and

(b) exempt all trade-exposed industries in New South Wales from the policy, including

agriculture, mining and manufacturing.




That, in accordance with Recommendation 5 of the Public Accountability Committee in its report entitled

'Budget process for independent oversight bodies and the Parliament of New South Wales – Final report',

dated February 2021, and paragraph 2 of the resolution of both Houses establishing the Joint Standing

Committee on Electoral Matters, this House refers to the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters

for inquiry and report the adequacy of the funding allocation of the NSW Electoral Commission for the

2023 election, in particular taking into account the latest advice around issues of electoral integrity arising

from foreign interference in elections.




(a) the NSW Legislative Council Standing Committee on State Development tabled its report

‘Defence industry in New South Wales’ on 7 June 2018.

(b) recommendation 2 of that report stated: "That the Parliament of New South Wales support

the establishment of a Joint Committee on Defence and Space Industries in New South

Wales", and

(c) the Government response to the report supported that recommendation in principle and

observed that the establishment of such committees was a matter for the Parliament.

(2) That a joint select committee be established to inquire into and report on Defence and Space

Industries in New South Wales, and in particular:

(a) any matter connected to defence and space industries in New South Wales, and

(b) the implementation of the 15 recommendations made by the State Development Committee

in its report 'Defence industry in New South Wales'.

(3) That, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the standing orders of either House, the committee

consist of eight members comprising:

(a) four members of the Legislative Council, of whom:

(i) two are government members,

(ii) one is an opposition member,

(iii) one is a crossbench member, and

(b) four members of the Legislative Assembly, of whom:

(i) two must be government members,

(ii) two must be an opposition or crossbench member.

(4) That the Chair of the committee be a member of the government in the Legislative Council, and the

Deputy Chair be an opposition or crossbench member.

(5) That, notwithstanding anything in the standing orders of either House, at any meeting of the

committee, any four members of the committee will constitute a quorum, provided that at least one

member of each House is present at all times.

(6) That members may be appointed to the committee as substitute members for any matter before the

committee by providing notice in writing to the Committee Clerk, with nominations made as

follows:


(a) nominations for substitute government or opposition members are to be made by the Leader

of the Government, Leader of the Opposition, Government or Opposition Whip or Deputy

Whip, as applicable, and

(b) nominations for substitute crossbench members are to be made by the substantive member

or another crossbench member.

(7) That, unless the committee decides otherwise:

(a) submissions to inquiries are to be published, subject to the Committee Clerk checking for

confidentiality and adverse mention and, where those issues arise, bringing them to the

attention of the committee for consideration,

(b) the Chair’s proposed witness list is to be circulated to provide members with an opportunity

to amend the list, with the witness list agreed to by email, unless a member requests the Chair

to convene a meeting to resolve any disagreement,

(c) the sequence of questions to be asked at hearings is to alternate between government,

opposition and crossbench members, in order determined by the committee, with equal time

allocated to each,

(d) transcripts of evidence taken at public hearings are to be published,

(e) supplementary questions are to be lodged with the Committee Clerk within two business

days, following the receipt of the hearing transcript, with witnesses requested to return

answers to questions on notice and supplementary questions within 21 calendar days of the

date on which questions are forwarded to the witness, and

(f) answers to questions on notice and supplementary questions are to be published, subject to

the Committee Clerk checking for confidentiality and adverse mention and, where those

issues arise, bringing them to the attention of the committee for consideration.

(8) That this House requests the Legislative Assembly to agree to a similar resolution and name the

time and place for the committee’s first meeting.


*1025. Public Health Amendment (Vaccination Compensation) Bill 2021: resumption of the adjourned debate

of the question on the motion of Revd Nile: That this bill be now read a second time (5 calendar days from

17 February 2021)—Mrs Maclaren-Jones. (20 minutes)


(1) That this House notes the correspondence received from the General Counsel of the Department of

Premier and Cabinet on Friday 20 December 2020, in response to the resolution of the House of

Wednesday 18 November 2020 relating to an order for papers regarding floodplain harvesting

regulation, advising that the Natural Resources Access Regulator is not subject to the control and

direction of the Minister and that the Legislative Council should liaise directly with the Regulator

in relation to the resolution.

(2) That, under standing order 52, there be laid upon the table of the House within 14 days of the date

of passing of this resolution the following documents created since 21 September 2020 in the

possession, custody or control of the Natural Resources Access Regulator relating to floodplain

harvesting regulation:

(a) all documents relating to the disallowance of the Water Management (General) Amendment

(Exemptions for Floodplain Harvesting) Regulation 2020, and its impact or implications,


(b) all documents relating to the legal status of floodplain harvesting, and

(c) any legal or other advice regarding the scope or validity of this order of the House created


(3) That the Clerk communicate the terms of this resolution to the Natural Resources Access Regulator.




passing of this resolution the following documents created since 1 January 2017 in the possession, custody

or control of the Premier, Department of Premier and Cabinet, Minister for Transport and Roads, Transport

for NSW, Minister for Police and Emergency Services, or NSW Police Force relating to Mr Brad Burden:

(a) all documents relating to Mr Brad Burden’s appointment to the Office of the Premier in 2017,

(b) all documents relating to Mr Brad Burden’s departure from the Office of the Premier in 2019,

(c) all documents relating to Mr Brad Burden’s engagement as a contractor by Transport for NSW in

2019,

(d) all documents relating to any security clearance process undertaken by Mr Brad Burden in respect

of both his employment in the Office of the Premier and his engagement as a contractor by Transport

for NSW, including but not limited to security assessments and supporting documents, and

(e) any legal or other advice regarding the scope or validity of this order of the House created as a result





(a) prior to the implementation of the NSW Rock Fishing Safety Act 2016 around 400,000 NSW

Recreational Fishing Licence fees from the Saltwater Fishing Trust fund have been allocated to

collaborative Rock Fishing Safety, education and Awareness programs,

(b) these programs targeted how to safely fish from New South Wales coastal rock platforms;

improving a fishers knowledge; understanding coastal weather patterns; what is appropriate safety

apparel when fishing on high-risk rock fishing platforms including life jackets, wetsuits and

appropriate footwear; and other key safe fishing devices that assist rock fishers in fishing safely,

(c) these collaborative rock fishing education packages took into consideration the expertise,

experience and knowledge of many experienced rock fishers from multiple New South Wales

recreational fishing associations,

(d) these structured educational programs promoted safe fishing and basic weather safety to those that

participated,

(e) the “Don’t Put Your Life on the Line!” campaign was so successful other Australian states and

some European countries adopted it as best practice,

(f) despite the success of these campaigns the introduction of the Rock Fishing Safety Act 2016 by the

Government contradicted the best practice collaborative education package and removed any


reference to appropriate footwear or other safe rock fishing apparel like wetsuits and other floatation

apparel,

(g) the Government ignored best advice to practically investigate, assess and test various types of life

jackets that are recommended under the Rock Fishing Safety Act 2016 and listed as the Australian

standard,

(h) in 2018, under the then Minister for Police and Emergency Services, the Honourable Troy Grant,

the Rock Fishing Safety Act 2016 was made an opt-in or opt-out decision for coastal councils,

(i) many councils chose to opt-out, leaving high-risk rock fishing locations with minimal safety signage

and no enforcement controls including the Wollongong City council where Hill 60 is located,

(j) in the last month, five rock fishers have been swept off the rocks and to their deaths at Hill 60 in

the Wollongong City council LGA,

(k) in 2017-18 the Rock Fishing Safety Awareness Program aimed at the non-English speaking CALD

communities was significantly disrupted by the then Police and Emergency Services Minister Troy

Grant by transferring responsibilities and resourcing to the then NSW DPI and Fisheries Minister,

the Honourable Niall Blair, thus absolving the Police and Justice Department of any responsibilities,

(l) further to this disruption, in April 2019 the Government removed the Rock Fishing Safety Act from

the DPI and Fisheries portfolio under the Honourable Adam Marshall and reinstated it into the care

and control of the current Minister for Police and Emergency Services, the Honourable David Elliott

along with the Minister for Local Government, the Honourable Shelly Hancock,

(m) by removing and reinstating the Rock Fishing Safety Act across three portfolios and four ministers;

the safety of New South Wales rock fishers has been put at further risk, and no responsibility has

been taken by the Government to properly resource, fund or raise awareness for rock fishing safety,

(n) no member of the Government can provide concise or accurate answers as to how much money has

been collected through fines issued for rock fishing violations and whether that money has been

returned to the NSW Recreational Fishing Trust fund to assist in further campaigns for rock fishing

safety programs,

(o) fishing associations like the Recreational Fishing Alliance of NSW and the Australian National

Sports Fishing Associations NSW Branch spend considerable time and funds to maintain rock

fishing platforms and provide safety for public recreational fishers,

(p) one such initiative by these groups, the ANSA NSW Angel Rings (orange life buoys placed on

stainless steel posts at known high-risk rock fishing spots), have successfully saved the lives of

nearly 100 rock fishers since 1994,

(q) a group of dedicated fishers and community volunteers continue to oversee the Angel ring network,

(r) the Governments Rock Fishing Safety Act 2016 is an abject failure and has failed to protect the

public and the New South Wales rock fishing community, particularly those from non-English

speaking CALD communities, and

(s) the Rock Fishing Safety Act 2016 needs to be formerly amended to recognise appropriate footwear

and that wetsuits can act as safe fishing and buoyancy apparel and still allow a person to swim

safely.




That leave be given to bring in a bill for an Act to amend the Rock Fishing Safety Act 2016 to extend the

application of the Act to high risk rock fishing locations anywhere in New South Wales; to require persons

to wear appropriate footwear when rock fishing; and for related purposes.

(Rock Fishing Safety Amendment Bill)



(1) That this House expresses its condolences to the family and friends of Helen Marston who died on

29 January 2021 in Melbourne at the age of 53 after surviving breast cancer for more than five

years.


(a) Helen Marston was the Chief Executive Officer of Humane Research Australia for more

than 15 years, and

(b) during that time she was an energetic campaigner:

(i) challenging the use of animal experiments,

(ii) promoting more humane and scientifically-valid non animal methods of research.

(3) That this House understands that even while being treated for breast cancer, Ms Marston raised

concerns about the use of animals in cancer research stating:

(a) “Rats and mice are most often used – despite their anatomic, genetic and metabolic

differences to humans”, and

(b) “In fact many cancers have already been cured in mice, but they simply don’t work in

humans, suggesting that perhaps we should move away from these inappropriate and

misleading models of human disease and embrace other more relevant methods of research.”

(4) That this House acknowledges that Ms Marston’s accomplishments included:

(a) establishing the Humane Charities List,

(b) serving on government committees,

(c) winning the Lush Cosmetics Public Awareness Award, and

(d) writing and publishing a children’s book ‘Leo Escapes from the Lab.’




(a) International Nurses Day 2021 will be celebrated on Wednesday 12 May, the anniversary of

Florence Nightingale’s birth, and

(b) this year’s theme for International Nurses Day is “Nurses: A Voice to Lead”, with the sub

theme for 2021 being “A Vision for Future Healthcare”.


(2) That this House commends the outstanding contribution of each and every nurse and midwife across

the health care workforce in NSW and thanks them for their dedication.

(3) That this House acknowledges the ongoing efforts of the NSW nursing and midwifery workforce

in keeping the community safe from COVID-19, and caring for those who have contracted the virus.



(1) That this House commends the NSW Government for accelerating the $750 million redevelopment

of Royal Prince Alfred Hospital,

(2) That this House recognises the importance of this redevelopment, which includes the delivery of a

new building, more inpatient beds and an expanded emergency department, to ensure that the

hospital continues to serve Sydney’s growing community into the future,

(3) That this House notes that this project is expected to create thousands of jobs and will make an

important contribution to the State’s COVID-19 Recovery Plan, and

(4) That this House notes the NSW Government began the transformation of this site with the Professor

Marie Bashir Centre, which opened in 2014.




(a) in 2020 the NSW Government paid $302,000 (excluding GST) to Mr Cameron Hepburn of

Aurora Energy Research for the modelling of Minister Kean’s Electricity Infrastructure

Roadmap,

(b) in October 2020 Mr Hepburn held 275,000 shares in Aurora Energy Research, a company

he founded,

(c) Mr Hepburn also has financial links to Mr Michael Photios' and Ian Hancock's Blueprint

Institute (as a member of its Strategic Council and in doing research work on Institute

projects), a clear conflict of interest given the substantial lobbying and business interests Mr

Photios and Mr Hancock hold in renewable energy and their influence within the New South

Wales Liberals moderates faction, of which the Honourable Matt Kean MP, Minister for

Energy and Environment, is a prominent member and political beneficiary,

(d) Mr Photios and Mr Hancock own and manage the PremierState and PremierNational

lobbying firms, with multiple renewable energy corporate clients, and also Clean Energy

Strategies, a company dealing financially in Power Purchasing Agreements for renewable

energy,

(e) in his modelling for the Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap, Mr Hepburn used a false

assumption of 1 Gigawatt rooftop solar generation in NSW, 2.5GW below the actual level,

meaning he over-estimated by 2.5GW the amount of utility solar and wind farm power

needed in New South Wales, a financial bonanza for the Photios/Hancock corporate

interests,

(f) Minister Kean selected someone from the Blueprint Institute to do the modelling for his New

South Wales electricity policy that produced an outcome financially beneficial to those who

own and run the Blueprint Institute, an abuse of office and evidence of corrupt conduct,


(g) in answer to Legislative Council Question on Notice 3486, Minister Kean stated that Mr

Hancock’s sister, Ms Ava Hancock, works as his Policy Director for Energy and has declared

a conflict of interest in relation to her brother’s renewable energy holdings, yet Minister

Kean has allowed this conflict to become a permanent part of his ministerial office,

(h) Ms Hancock would have been part of the decision to select Cameron Hepburn from her

brother’s Blueprint Institute to undertake the economic modelling that now underpins huge

financial benefits for her brother, and

(i) this energy policy-making cartel is riven with conflicts of interest, abuses of office and

evidence of corrupt conduct that should be investigated by the Independent Commission

Against Corruption.

(2) That, under section 73 of the Independent Commission Against Corruption Act 1988 this House

refers to the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) for investigation and report:

(a) the circumstances under which Mr Cameron Hepburn, Aurora Energy Research was

commissioned by the Government to undertake the modelling for the New South Wales

Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap,

(b) any financial, commercial or other links between Aurora Energy Research and the Blueprint

Institute,

(c) any personal or other relationships between the Office of the Honourable Matt Kean MP,

Minister for Energy and Environment, and the Aurora Energy Research and the Blueprint

Institute,

(d) the methodology used in Mr Hepburn's modelling for the New South Wales Electricity

Infrastructure Roadmap, and

(e) any related matters the Commissioner deems necessary.

(3) A message be sent to the Legislative Assembly informing it that the Legislative Council has this

day agreed to the resolution and, pursuant to section 73 of the Independent Commission Against

Corruption Act 1988, requests the Legislative Assembly to pass a similar resolution.

(4) That in the event that the Legislative Assembly does not pass a similar resolution and inform the

Legislative Council within two sitting days of receipt of a message from the Legislative Council,

the Clerk is to communicate the resolution of the House to the Independent Commission Against

Corruption.




(a) cellular agriculture, sometimes referred to as ‘slaughter-free agriculture’, involves the

production of animal products, such as meat and dairy, from cell-cultures,

(b) experts agree that cellular agriculture has the potential to transform the way food is produced

globally, and eliminate much of the harm caused by the animal agribusiness industry to

animals, the environment and human health,

(c) in January 2021, it was announced that the New South Wales-based company VOW Foods

raised $6,000,000 USD to develop their cutting-edge cellular meat products, and


(d) with a growing demand for alternative proteins, particularly in Asia, Australian companies

are well-placed to profit and become leaders in this emerging industry—but only if they have

proper financial and regulatory support from the Government.

(2) That this House calls on the Government to provide greater support to cellular agriculture

companies in Australia.




(a) the Government has proposed a bill to set aside settlement agreements for past child abuse,

(b) the bill seeks to allow New South Wales courts to set aside historical settlement agreements

for child abuse,

(c) the power imbalance between institutions and victims means many past settlements were

effectively coercion rather than a fair response to the harm done, and

(d) historically survivors of child sexual abuse almost always entered into unfair settlements

under unfair laws and with deeply inappropriate moral pressure from the organisations that

abused them.

(2) That this House notes with concern that::

(a) the current draft of the Civil Liability Amendment (Child Abuse Settlement) Bill 2020 does

not deliver on the Attorney General’s promise to allow unfair settlements to be set aside so

that victims of historic child sexual abuse can achieve justice, and

(b) a large number of organisations have made submissions noting their concerns with the

proposed model.

(3) That this House calls on the Attorney General, the Honourable Mark Speakman MP, to ensure the

final model proposed to the Parliament respects and supports victims and survivors by delivering a

fair and workable pathway to justice.



That this House notes the extreme community dissatisfaction with the politicised distribution of bushfire

and council grants by the Coalition Government.

(1) That this House notes that the return to the order of the House of Wednesday 18 November 2020

regarding bushfire reports by Noetic, received on Wednesday 9 December 2020, did not produce

any reports from Noetic as ordered.

(2) That, under standing order 52, there be laid upon the table of the House within 7 days of the date of

passing of this resolution the following documents, excluding any documents previously returned

under an order of the House, in the possession, custody or control of the Minister for Police and

Emergency Services, Resilience NSW, NSW Rural Fire Service, the Office of Emergency

Management, or Fire and Rescue NSW relating to bushfire reports by Noetic:

(a) all documents prepared by Noetic relating to call taking and dispatch models and fire

emergency communication centres in New South Wales, and







(a) nearly one in five young people in the Hunter region are unemployed, and

(b) the Hunter community was not consulted about the recent decision to sell the site of Scone

TAFE and that it found out about the sale from the real estate listing.

(2) That this House calls on the Government to reconsider the sale of the site of Scone TAFE.




(a) some residents of Sydney are paying $6,000 a year in tolls,

(b) this Government has imposed a new toll on the old M5 East flooding local suburbs with

traffic, and

(2) That this House calls for an inquiry into:

(a) the cost of tolls for New South Wales drivers,

surrounding Brooman and Shallow Crossing State Forests which are currently slated for

logging,

(b) from logging trucks damaging the roads to continued breaches of logging rules, it is clear

this industry has lost its social license, and

(c) the spread of fire over the last fire season demonstrates how recently-logged forests are more

fire-prone, while non-logged forests with intact canopy and moist understory provide natural

barriers to fire.


(2) That this House commends the activists and citizen scientists who are working hard to protect what

they can in these forests, including by marking out trees that are supposed to be protected under the

current rules.

(3) That this House affirms that:

(b) the forests on the South Coast have enormous potential, not as woodchips but as places for

tourism, local engagement and recreation,

(c) with modest investment we could create networks of walking and mountain bike trails,

places to camp, sensitive eco-tourism and kayak trails, while also protecting these forests,

and

(d) protecting these forests from logging doesn’t mean locking them up, it can mean opening

them up in a way that has never been possible before, while delivering enormous

environmental and sustainability benefits.

(4) That this House calls on the Government to make a plan for the future of these forests, with an end

to native forest logging and a real plan for the future of the workers in and around these forests.

into the shocking and tragic death of Baby Z, conducted by Deputy State Coroner, Magistrate

Harriet Grahame.


(a) Baby Z was just two years, seven months and six days old when he died at Wollongong

Hospital in August 2012 from a traumatic head injury,


(b) the inquest into Baby Z’s death attempted to understand the broader systemic failures that

contributed to his death,

(c) Magistrate Grahame found that despite multiple reports that Baby Z was at risk of significant

harm, he did not receive a face to face assessment by child protection caseworkers prior to

his death,

(d) Magistrate Grahame stated that it is ‘both shocking and completely unacceptable’ that

around 70 per cent of children who are the subject of a Risk of Significant Harm report do

not attract a statutory response, and

(e) Magistrate Grahame also stated that the responsibility for protecting children and young

people “cannot be shifted by creating a culture where overworked or under-skilled staff can

close reports, claiming a lack of resources or competing priorities.”.

(3) That this House expresses its alarm regarding the tragic death of Baby Z and the Deputy State

Coroner’s findings regarding the New South Wales child protection system.




(a) it is a shocking reality that, in New South Wales, there have been no animal bans imposed

on perpetrators as a result of a conviction of bestiality,

(b) the lack of animal bans for bestiality means that animals in our community are not being

protected from potential sexual abuse, and

(c) the community does not want to see individuals convicted of sexually abusing animals

having any future interaction with animals.

(2) That this House calls on the Government to introduce mandatory, lifetime restrictions on owning

or working with animals for individuals convicted of bestiality.




(a) Buddy is a beagle cross kelpie who was used in medical experimentation for the first nine

years of his life,

(b) most Australians would be horrified to discover that dogs and cats are being experimented

on, yet statistics released by the Government show that over 5,000 dogs and cats were used

for research in 2019,

(c) Buddy is one of the very few survivors of medical experimentation to ever be released, with

the Government reporting that only 30 dogs were rehomed from research facilities in the

past year,

(d) in 2018, the former Minister for Agriculture promised to develop mandatory regulations for

the rehoming of cats and dogs used in research – but over two years later, this has still not

happened, and


(e) even though taxpayer money is used to fund the continued breeding and use of animals like

Buddy in experimentation, the Government refuses to say exactly how much money is given

to this industry, and there is no transparency about the types of experiments taxpayers are

funding.

(2) That this House calls on the Government to enact ‘Buddy’s Law’, which will give companion

animals the ‘Right to Release’ from medical experimentation facilities, and end the hidden use of

taxpayer dollars on animal research.
