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 provision of government services and disproportionately affect the lower socio-economic community members, and the long term costs to society and to the State Government will be greater than any so-called budget savings, and(d)the Gillard-O’Farrell education funding reforms could be paid for with other, less socially destructive revenue measures, including ending subsidies to the state’s

to as micro-hydro, offers substantial economic and environmental benefits, particularly for regions of New South Wales such as the Dorrigo Plateau,(b)these benefits include: (i)reducing investment in 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

developing nations with health, economic development and educational benefits,(c)when he was in opposition, the Member for Oxley, which area includes the Dorrigo region, and now Deputy Premier, 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.

organ donation scheme in 2008 and since that time, 95 per cent of all livers transplanted by Mr Jiefu have come from executed prisoners, and(f)Mr Jiefu’s actions, if committed in Australia, would be a

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

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

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

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,

No. 174)1418.Dr Kaye to move—1.That this House notes that:(a)reports of draft material relating to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment Report, scheduled for release in September 2013, indicate that:(i)current estimates of the degree of certainty that that anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are driving changers observed globally are now at 95 per cent, up from 90 per cent in the 2007 Assessment Report and 66 per cent in the 2001 report,(ii)sea-levels could rise by 82 centimetres this century,(b)while the science of predicting the impacts of global greenhouse gas emissions on the climate is imperfect, the growing certainty of the consequences for humanity, the planet and the economy demands a strict risk-management response that moves to rapidly cut anthropogenic emissions to zero,(c)the Federal Coalition Opposition’s Direct Action Plan will reward the big polluters and fail to reduce the nation’s emissions by even the promised 5 per cent while the repeal of the carbon price will undermine employment in the renewable energy industry and encourage increased carbon intensity, and(d)the Federal Labor Government’s plan to float the carbon price will result in a deep slide in the price, creating uncertainty and stymying development in the renewable energy industry. 2.That this House calls on the O’Farrell Government to recognise the urgency of reducing the state’s emissions and the likely failure of any federal action to meaningfully respond to climate change regardless of which party wins the September election by:(a)abandoning plans for two new fossil fuel power stations at Mt Piper and Bayswater,(b)stopping the privatisation of the electricity industry that will lock New South Wales into carbon-intense electricity generation for decades to come,(c)working with households and industry to assist them to reduce their power bills and carbon footprints with a meaningful rooftop solar bonus scheme and energy efficiency standards and assistance,(d)withdrawing the Draft Wind Energy Planning Guidelines and work with the industry to attract new investment and jobs and develop new mechanisms for community ownership of windfarms,(e)investing in new solar thermal power stations with overnight storage, and(f)ending the ideological and partisan war on the carbon price by removing the misleading statements that retailers have been forced to place on household power bills.(Notice given 20 August 2013—expires Notice Paper No. 174)*Council bill____________________Committee Reports—Orders of the Day(Debate on
