Parliament Speeches
That this House acknowledges the recent meeting of the Parliamentary Friends of Youth Justice Reform, bringing together members of Parliament, experts and advocates to discuss meaningful reform in child justice.
I seek leave to have the second reading speech incorporated in Hansard.
I recognise the importance of this motion because Tropical Cyclone Alfred was the first tropical cyclone—or ex‑tropical cyclone or tropical low or whatever meteorological term we are using, and I do wish to be exact—to hit New South Wales since Tropical Cyclone Nancy in 1990. It was a pretty significant event.
My question is directed to the Minister for Transport. Is the Minister aware of the recent comment from the president of the Australian Uyghur Tangritagh Women's Association,
I take note of an answer provided to me by the Minister for Transport and say that it was inadequate.
I am advised that buses are procured in New South Wales from approved suppliers as determined by Bus Panel 4. Bus Panel 4 is a formal and long-standing procurement process operated by Transport for NSW [TfNSW].
My supplementary question for written answer is directed to the Minister for Domestic Manufacturing and Government Procurement.
I share with the House the success of the 2025 Guyra Lamb and Potato Festival. The event has been bringing the community together for over 30 years, held over 10 days in January of each year.
I highlight the Minns and Albanese Labor governments' deplorable decision to rip more than $14 million of funding, committed by the previous Coalition governments, from the New England community.
