received by offenders who commit child sexual assault as against sentences for similar offences involving the sexual assault of adults, namely:(i)the BOCSAR Sentencing Snapshot for Child Sexual Assault (No 68, revised May 2013) found that “Prison penalties were imposed on 75 per cent of offenders convicted of aggravated child sexual assault, with an average aggregate sentence of 68 months,

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: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

SEPP with provisions that:(i)extend the SEPP to include other unconventional gas exploration, such as shale and tight sands,(ii)impose 2km exclusion zones around all residences in NSW, not just urban areas,(iii)prohibit unconventional gas mining on agricultural land, water catchments and sensitive environmental places,(iv)remove loopholes that allow councils to opt-out of its provisions,
