Mr PRESIDENT:



(a) Today is World Environment Day, a day to reflect on our precious natural environment and in particular the unique marine environment and marine life that call NSW coastal waters home.

(b) The NSW community loves the coast and the marine environment as can be shown by the large numbers of surfers, fishers, divers, sailors and holiday makers that use our remarkable coastline, estuaries and ocean; and has been on display by the huge community effort in the last few days to clean up from the disastrous container ship spill off the NSW coastline that has caused tonnes of plastic and other debris to be scattered across the coastline and lost into the ocean.

(c) Our oceans and marine life are under growing threat from climate change, pollution and in particular plastic pollution, historical overfishing and coastal development.

(d) Despite these threats, after seven years of Liberal/National Government and extensive reforms to marine environment legislation:

a. the Government's own audit recommendation to expand marine park protections have not been implemented and marine protections have gone backwards,

b. The Government has failed to put in place legislated emissions reduction targets and is more than $250 million dollars underspend on climate action,

c. NSW lags the rest of the country and many jurisdictions in the world in failing to legislate to ban or reduce the use of single use plastic bags and other wasteful single use plastic items that kill and injure thousands of marine animals every year;

d. The failed shark net program continues to kill hundreds of turtle, dolphins, rays and non-threatening sharks every year in NSW with little to no public safety benefit and at the expense of more effective non-lethal means.

'

2. That this House caJI on the Government to:

(a) Get serious about the protection of the marine environment, preserve and expand our marine park network, take action against single use plastics, legislate to reduce the state's carbon emissions, and protect threatened marine animals by removing damaging shark nets.

(a) Sir David Attenborough was born 8 May 1926, turning 92 years of age last month,

(b) Sir David is an English broadcaster and naturalist, best known for writing and presenting, in conjunction with the BBC Natural History Unit, the nine natural history documentary series that form the Life collection, which form a comprehensive survey of animal and plant life on Earth,

(c) in 1936, Sir David attended a lecture by Grey Owl (Archibald Belaney) at De Montfort Hall, Leicester, and was influenced by his advocacy of conservation and profound knowledge of the flora and fauna of the Canadian wilderness and by his warnings of ecological disaster should the delicate balance between them be destroyed,

( d) the idea that mankind was endangering nature by recklessly despoiling and plundering its riches was unheard of at the time, but it is one that has remained part of David Attenborough's own credo to this day.

( e) Sir David married Elizabeth Ebsworth Oriel who died in 1997, with whom he had two children, Robert and Susan,

(f) his son Robert is a senior lecturer in bioanthropology for the School of Archaeology and Anthropology at the Australian National University in Canberra,

l:\LC\House Papers\Loqs and Notices 2018\General notices\Pearson 180605 Sir David Attenborough.doc

(h) the series also established many of the hallmarks of the BBC's natural history output, and that by treating his subject seriously and researching the latest discoveries, Attenborough and his production team gained the trust of scientists, and

3. That the House notes the following statement by Sir David Attenborough arising from observing the Reef 58 years since the first time: "The Great Barrier Reef is in grave danger.

Mr BUCKINGHAM says-

Mr PRESIDENT:



a) On 5 June 2018 charges under Section 201 of the Crimes Act 1900 against Bev Smiles, Stephanie Luke and Bruce Hughes for 'interfering with equipment belonging to a mine' and 'rendering useless a road belonging to a mine' were dismissed in court due to insufficient evidence;

b) These charges follow their arrest on 12 April 2017 after peacefully protesting outside Peabody Energy's Wilpinjong coaJ. mine in the Upper Hunter Valley;

c) Bev, Stephanie and Bruce were the first people to be charged under the draconian anti-protest laws introduced in 2016 and faced a possible 7 year jail sentence for standing up to protect their community;

d) In his decision the Judge said that if the police had instead brought the charge that they had 'interfered with equipment associated with a mine' they probably would have been found guilty and may have faced jail due to the breadth of the definition of the term 'associated with'.

e) The judge also said that because the defendants were found not guilty he did not have to consider the issue of whether the laws breach the implied freedom of political communication and so this issue remains untested.

2. That this House expresses its alarm that three upstanding members of the community could have been jailed under current laws for simply be standing on the road for a few hours engaged in peaceful protest.

3. That this House agrees that Section 201 of the Crimes Act 1900 as currently written is clearly overreach, trespasses on the implied right to free'.!9:m" of political

communication and should be repealed. {/;--(/ "

Mr PRESIDENT:



a) On 31 May 2018 Port Waratah Coal Services announced that they have cancelled plans to build a fourth coal terminal at the Port of Newcastle because "the capacity of the existing coal terminals ... are likely to be sufficient to cater for future growth in coal exports";

b) In response to the announcement, a spokesperson for the Port ofNewcastle said that this "is further evidence of the need for the Port ofNewcastle, and indeed the Hunter Valley economy to diversify as rapidly as possible";

c) This is a clear admission from the coal industry that the unrealistic growth forecasts for coal exports, including in the NSW Government's Intergenerational Report, will not be realised;

d) The decision is symptomatic of a global trend away from fossil fuels and towards clean, renewable energy, as reality catches up with the great lie that we can continue to export coal in an age of climate change;

2. That this house congratulates the determined community campaigners who have spent over six years working to block T4's approval and construction;

3. That this house celebrates the decision to cancel T4 as it means that we can now open up Newcastle's port capability to more diversity rather than having it quarantined for a coal industry that is on its last legs;

4. That this House calls on the NSW government to: a) Use this decision as a catalyst to develop a serious plan for a just transition

away from the coal industry b) Fix the broken planning system which led to the terminal being approved

despite evidence that it did not stack up economically, e cirynmentally or socially. /'
