Redfern Social Programs (18/02/2004)
Tonight I again call on all levels of government and the Australian community to do all we can to ensure that the tragedy of "TJ" Hickey's death in Redfern means that the Redfern Aboriginal community gets help to fight its way out of grief...
State Arms, Symbols and Emblems Bill (26/02/2004)
in reply: I agree with the honourable member for Liverpool that symbols are important and that our identity is important. I also join with him in rejecting the misrepresentation and the nonsense that we heard when this bill was last debated...
Mental Health Services (3/03/2004)
Tonight I speak yet again about the crisis in mental health services and urge the Government to respond immediately. The 2002 Senate inquiry into mental health services called for revolutionary improvement in long-neglected mental health services...
Moore Park Car Parking (11/03/2004)
I raise, yet again, vehicle parking on Moore Park. The Centennial Park and Moore Park Trust still has no strategy to remove on-grass car parking and no plan to stop that commercial abuse of public land...
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Amendment (Tail Docking) Bill (6/04/2004)
I welcome this legislation, which is based on the landmark and long-overdue decision of the Primary Industries Ministerial Council meeting last October to introduce a national ban on cosmetic tail docking by this month...
Dual Diagnosis (4/05/2004)
I speak tonight about the lack of effective treatment for people who have both a mental illness and substance abuse problem, usually called "dual diagnosis", which is increasing and fast becoming the norm...
Public Housing (12/05/2004)
There is a crisis in public housing and I call upon the State and Commonwealth governments to make a long-term commitment to maintaining public housing and expanding affordable housing. A report by the...
Filming Approval Bill (12/05/2004)
I oppose the Filming Approval Bill. The bill is designed to facilitate commercial filming in national parks, wilderness and marine park areas. This bill gives full discretionary power to the Minister for...
Redfern-Waterloo Partnership Project (14/09/2004)
I welcome the Government's two-year extension of the Redfern-Waterloo Partnership Project, although more time will be needed for real change. Meaningful dialogue must be established with both the Aboriginal and non-indigenous communities...
Local Government Amendment (Discipline) Bill (21/09/2004)
The Local Government Amendment (Discipline) Bill proposes amendments to the Local Government Act. I strongly support the introduction of a minimum, mandatory code of conduct to be adopted by all councils...
Alcohol and Drug Services (22/09/2004)
Tonight I again draw to the attention of the House the urgent need for expanded alcohol and drug services in the light of newly published evidence-based research. This is important in my electorate, particularly in the Redfern and Kings Cross areas...
Sydney Conde Nast Traveler Award (19/10/2004)
I thank the Government for extending the speaking time for this debate. I welcome the recognition that Sydney has received. The Condé Nast Traveler awards are internationally recognised as the most prestigious tourism awards...

Research carried out by Catherine Robinson for the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute [AHURI]—published in July 2003 as Understanding Iterative Homelessness: The Case of People with a Mental...
Threatened Species Legislation Amendment Bill (19/10/2004)
I call on the Government to make a genuine commitment to threatened species conservation, with a significant commitment to funding in order to save species from the threat of extinction. Once threatened...
Death of Mr Anthony Michael McGrane, OAM, a Member of the Legislative Assembly (20/10/2004)
As a city Independent I pay tribute to Tony, a country Independent. It is still strange to see that vacant space on the crossbenches every parliamentary sitting day. I thank Tony for his contribution to this Parliament...
Historic Houses Amendment Bill (27/10/2004)
I acknowledge and commend the important work of the Historic Houses Trust and those who have been involved over its 24-year existence. However, I express some concerns about the bill that have been raised by other speakers...
Redfern Waterloo Authority (28/10/2004)
In 1999 The Block became part of my electorate when the boundaries changed, and at that time I was horrified at the lack of action on serious problems. In response to my calls for co-ordinated action to deal with the human degradation...
Crown Street Reservoir (11/11/2004)
Tonight I shall talk about the Crown Street reservoir, which is bounded by Crown, Campbell, Riley and Reservoir streets in Surry Hills and is State heritage listed. The reservoir was built in 1859. It is Australia's oldest working reservoir...
Smoke-free Environment Amendment Bill (16/11/2004)
There are compelling reasons to support the Smoke-free Environment Amendment Bill, which will ban smoking in pubs and clubs from 2007. My electorate of Bligh has a large number of entertainment precincts—such as Fox Studios...
Redfern-Waterloo Authority Bill (17/11/2004)
In 1999 the Block came into my electorate. I was confronted by the desperation, high unemployment, crime and urban blight that characterised the Block. Since that time things have improved, but I am sad to say that the change has been marginal...
Department of Housing Russian-speaking Tenants (17/11/2004)
I want to speak about Russian-speaking Department of Housing tenants in my electorate. According to the most recent census, people who speak Russian at home make up just 1 per cent of the population in Bligh...

Redfern-Waterloo Authority Legislation (8/12/2004)
Tonight I take the opportunity to again express my grave concerns about the Redfern-Waterloo legislation, which is at present going through the Legislative Council, and which went through this House a couple of weeks ago...
Government (Open Market Competition) Bill (9/12/2004)
I remind the House that the aim of the Government (Open Market Competition) Bill is simple. The bill, which has gone through the Legislative Council, will provide open and transparent government. It is...
Redfern-Waterloo Authority Bill (9/12/2004)
I expressed concern about this bill when it was debated in this House. The bill gives the Minister unprecedented power to override normal planning controls, going so far as to enable him to take control of other areas at will...
