undertaken by the Harvard School of Public Health, the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) and researchers from the University of Zurich have also demonstrated a strong link between consumption of red and processed meat and premature death,elevated mortality rates among people who eat increased quantities of meat is a result of higher rates of heart disease and cancer,people on low meat or vegetarian diets have significantly lower body weights and body mass indices and that reducing meat consumption can prevent long-term weight gain,over half of all antibiotics produced globally are given to factory farmed animals to promote growth and prevent diseases spreading in cramped and unnatural conditions, andoveruse of antibiotics in farm animals has been linked to antibiotic resistance in animal and human populations.2.That this House congratulate:members of the community participating in or sponsoring someone who is participating in this year’s

of funding from $5.5 million in 2010/2011 to under $600,000 in 2011/2012,in the Blue Mountains no projects were funded, and this result is a massive cut and a major blow to services in the Blue

has confirmed the Government’s support for the skilled migration program that helps address specific skill shortages in the state, andthe Premier spoke after Prime Minister Julia Gillard’s Federal Labor Government launched an attack on the 457 skilled migration visa program and stated: “The 457 visa is the most common way for employers to temporarily sponsor skilled overseas workers to work in Australia. Visa holders may be employed for a period of between three months and four years. New South Wales has been blessed with wonderful immigrants in all walks of life such as Frank Lowy, Gail Kelly and Hazem El Masri. We don’t want to see a situation where people who can make significant social, cultural and economic contributions to New South Wales are shut out due to Federal Labor’s desperate re-election efforts. Despite record nurses and doctors being trained, the New South Wales health system still relied heavily on 2,800 lawful 457 visas holders. More than 1,000 are doctors and 1,600 are nurses. Julia Gillard’s attack on 457 visas would put a wrecking ball through our public hospitals. If you take those highly skilled migrants out of our health system it would quite simply collapse. It’s extraordinary that Julia Gillard would seek to attack hardworking legal migrants while failing to stop illegal migrations. This is a nation built on immigration and the NSW Liberals & Nationals Government will always stand up multicultural Australia”.2.That this House congratulates the Premier for his commitment to multiculturalism and diversity, his recognition of migrant workers and acknowledges the need for the National Section 457 Visa program.(Notice given 25 March 2013—expires Notice Paper No. 153)1196.Ms Westwood to move—That this House notes that:(a)Muswellbrook Hospital’s emergency department is chronically understaffed,(b)Muswellbrook has high emergency department admissions for asthma and lung illnesses, high cardiovascular disease rates, high preventable disease rates and poor access to primary health care, (c)the Muswellbrook community and health care professionals’ calls for the Member for Upper Hunter to secure the additional funding needed to ensure the Muswellbrook Hospital’s emergency department is staffed at a safe level have gone unheeded, and(d)New South Wales nurses are calling on the NSW Health Minister to extend nurse-to-patient ratios to emergency departments, children’s wards, intensive care, rural hospitals and community health services.

spending on TAFE by $800 million and moves have already commenced to terminate the employment of 800 full time equivalent staff members,(c)the extension of efficiency dividends will undermine the

electricity infrastructure including poles and wires to service remote and regional consumers,(ii)generating local jobs in manufacturing, installation, maintenance and development,(iii)reduction in greenhouse gas emissions,(iv)the development of an export market, particularly to South-East Asia and the Pacific region,(v)the provision of a reliable and affordable energy supply for communities in

Minister for Trade and Investment and Minister for Regional Infrastructure and Services the Honourable Andrew Stoner MP, enthusiastically embraced micro-hydro technology, and is reported to have declared that “Dorrigo is the micro-hydro capital of Australia”,(d)the development of micro-hydro installations in New South Wales is severely and unreasonably constrained by the requirement for a full environmental impact assessment for any plant that feeds energy back to the grid, including for a farm or for any other small commercial purpose, and the costs of preparing an assessment are prohibitive and out of proportion to the potential impacts of a micro-hydro plant,(e)while it is important to fully protect the environmental integrity of New South Wales’ rivers, streams and fish stocks, requiring grid-connected household, farm, small business or community micro-hydro systems to go through the same planning process as a new Snowy Mountains scheme is irrational and a restraint on jobs and the development of the micro-hydro export industry,(f)micro-hydro developer and installer Pelena Energy formed in 1998 and relocated to Dorrigo in 2006 and it has a track record of successful installations of six units in the Asia-Pacific region and one in New South Wales, and(g)despite the employment opportunities it created, Pelena was forced to cease trading in April 2013 due to the hostile planning environment.2.That this House:(a)calls on the NSW Minister for Planning to review the planning requirements for the development approval of micro-hydro systems, and work towards establishing cost-effective and proportionate environmental assessment requirements for this technology,(b)calls on the NSW Minister for Resources and Energy Chris Hartcher, the Deputy Premier and Minister for Trade and Investment and Minister for Regional Infrastructure and Services the Honourable Andrew Stoner MP, and Minister for Environment and Heritage the Honourable Robyn Parker MP,

Pelena Energy, was not provided with an opportunity to bid for any of these funds, and(c)calls on the O’Farrell Government to develop and implement plans that financially support existing and proven on-the-ground expertise in micro-hydro, especially in areas with suitable water flows such as the Dorrigo Plateau.

Federal Government for funds under the Health and Hospitals Fund in 2010,in 2011, Armidale Hospital was the Hunter New England Health service’s highest priority for funding under the Federal fund, but an application was not submitted by the O’Farrell Government,the Honourable Julian Skinner MP, Minister for Health, misled the Parliament of New South Wales by telling Parliament that the Commonwealth Health and Hospitals Advisory Board had not issued an invitation to resubmit the Armidale Hospital bid, however a subsequent freedom of information request from Federal Member for New England, Mr Tony Windsor MP, revealed that NSW Health had blocked the application, on 4 November 2012, the Minister was reported by the Australian Newspaper to be “furious” that Nationals Leader the Honourable Andrew Stoner MP had decided to allocate $10 million to the hospital without consulting her, and The Australian reported that “Government sources fear a backbench revolt over the decision, which many view as pork barrelling to ensure renegade National Party candidate Richard Torbay wins the seat of New England from independent MP Tony Windsor”, andclearly the people of Armidale can have little confidence

agronomist Nathan Ferguson, including: “If not for the restructure or if my position had have remained unchanged, I would definitely have stayed… the choice was to go to Local Land Services, reapply for a position, take a pay cut, and have a position that included natural resource management, cattle, crops and agronomy.”3.That this House:notes that Mr Ferguson has been the district agronomist for six years, andcondemns the O’Farrell Government and Minister Katrina Hodgkinson MP, Minister for Primary Industries, for their appalling handling of the Local Land Services creation and for failing to value vital staff like Mr Ferguson.(Notice given 22 May 2013—expires Notice Paper No. 163)1331.Mr Whan to move—1.That this House notes the Nationals Member for Monaro’s two year report which claims as achievements:scrapping the phase-out of unleaded petrol, an initiative which the Nationals promised to support before the election which would have assisted regional employment through promoting a domestic fuel source in ethanol, andopposing a solar farm in the Australian Capital Territory.2.That this House condemns the Nationals for their antipathy to the development of alternatives to fossil

answer from the Minister for Roads and Ports on behalf of the Minister for Primary Industries to question on notice no. 3726 asked by the Honourable Steve Whan regarding Forestry Corporation (FCNSW) occupation permits.2.That this House notes that:in answer to a question regarding the number of occupation permits the Minister stated that the Forestry Corporation no longer issues “Occupation Permits” and provided no further information,in response to a question about permits to “not-for-profit” organisations the Minister said FCNSW does not identify organisations as “not-for-profit” or otherwise,the new terminology which has gone up on the FCNSW web site since the original question was asked is that occupation permits are now “Special Purpose Permits”, however the term “Occupation permit” still exists on accompanying, presumably current, policy documents,under the current permit categories the corporation does differentiate between commercial and non-commercial,the Bermagui Dirt Surfers Mountain Bike Club have been informed by the Forestry Corporation that the annual fee for their permit to utilise Bermagui State Forest will rise from $330 in 2010 to $1,100 next year, andthe Honourable Katrina Hodgkinson MP, Minister for Primary Industries, has after more than two months still failed to respond to written representations from the Honourable Steve Whan regarding the Bermagui Dirt Surfers club fees.3.That this House concludes that the Minister’s answers to question on notice no. 3726 were deliberately oblique and that she is clearly unable to explain or defend the price gouging undertaken by her agency.4.That this House condemns the Minister for her lack of respect for her obligation to answer parliamentary questions and for her inept administration of her portfolio.(Notice given 22 May 2013—expires Notice Paper No. 163)1333.Mr Foley to move—That a select committee be appointed to inquire into and report on the current and future agistment of horses at
