21.01.2022 TOUGH ANIMAL CRUELTY PENALTIES UNLEASHED Member for Albury Justin Clancy has today welcomed the NSW Government’s actions against those who harm animals by increasing its penalties for animal cruelty. Mr Clancy said the changes would see an up-to eight-fold increase to current penalties under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act (POCTA).... There is not much more of a despicable act than harming, neglecting or interfering with our beloved animals, Mr Clancy said. Minister for Agriculture Adam Marshall has announced that the NSW Government is set to dramatically ramp up punishments for animal cruelty offenders, and this is something I welcome. We know that most people in the region, and right across the State, do the right thing and look after their animals, but unfortunately there are some who don’t. Once passed, these laws will be the toughest set of penalties in the country. Anyone caught doing the wrong thing will now face dramatically increased financial penalties and Jail time. The proposed increases would introduce the following penalties: Cruelty increased from $5,500 fine (current) to $44,000 and/or 12 months’ imprisonment for individuals and $220,000 for corporations for each individual act of cruelty; Aggravated Cruelty increased from $22,000 fine (current) to $110,000 and/or 2 years’ imprisonment for individuals and $550,000 for corporations for each individual act; Fail to Provide Food & Shelter Increased from $5,500 fine (current) to $16,500 and/or six months’ imprisonment for individuals and $82,500 for corporations for each individual act. Mr Clancy said the changes come off the back of the NSW Government’s crackdown on illegal puppy factories announced last week. We will work with our enforcement agencies, the NSW Police, RSPCA and Animal Welfare League, to ensure these harsh new penalties are applied. I will be also speaking in NSW Parliament this week on a Government bill to include offences against animals such as family pets as part of the state’s domestic and family violence legislation.

19.01.2022 We have had clarity from DHHS and the webpage has been updated accordingly. There are no restrictions on NSW border bubble residents travel within Victoria if they have not travelled north of the bubble border, but it is recommended that travel only be as far into Victoria as necessary. Residents from the border bubble who have been in to NSW beyond the bubble area in the past 14 days will not be able to cross the border from NSW into Victoria - but provided they meet this cr...iteria, both NSW and Victorian border residents are able to travel as they would for their normal day to day activities like work, shopping and eating out. https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/information-cross-border
19.01.2022 ** apologies. The text on the last warning didn't publish. Here is the 3:56pm update ** Severe Thunderstorm Warning for DAMAGING WINDS, LARGE HAILSTONES and HEA...VY RAINFALL For people in Central West Slopes and Plains, South West Slopes, Riverina, Lower Western, Upper Western and parts of Central Tablelands, Southern Tablelands, North West Slopes and Plains and Snowy Mountains Forecast Districts. Issued at 3:56 pm Friday, 23 October 2020. Weather Situation: Severe thunderstorms may produce damaging winds, large hailstones and heavy rainfall that may lead to flash flooding in the warning area over the next several hours. Locations which may be affected include Orange, Moree, Dubbo, Wagga Wagga, Albury, Cobar and Broken Hill. The State Emergency Service advises that people should: * Move your car under cover or away from trees. * Secure or put away loose items around your house, yard and balcony. * Keep at least 8 metres away from fallen power lines or objects that may be energised, such as fences. * Report fallen power lines to either Ausgrid (131 388), Endeavour Energy (131 003), Essential Energy (132 080) or Evoenergy (131 093) as shown on your power bill. * Trees that have been damaged by fire are likely to be more unstable and more likely to fall. * Keep clear of creeks and storm drains. * Don't walk, ride your bike or drive through flood water. * If you are trapped by flash flooding, seek refuge in the highest available place and ring 000 if you need rescue. * Be aware that run-off from rainfall in fire affected areas may behave differently and be more rapid. It may also contain debris such as ash, soil, trees and rocks. * After bushfires, heavy rain and the loss of foliage can make the ground soft and heavy, leading to a greater chance of landslides. * Unplug computers and appliances. * Avoid using the phone during the storm. * Stay indoors away from windows, and keep children and pets indoors as well. * Stay vigilant and monitor conditions. Note that the landscape may have changed following bushfires. * For emergency help in floods and storms, ring the SES (NSW and ACT) on 132 500. The next warning is due to be issued by 7:00 pm.
17.01.2022 CROSS-BORDER MOU SIGNED BY NSW & VICTORIA Member for Albury, Justin Clancy MP and Member for Benambra, Bill Tilley MP have welcomed the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between NSW and Victoria for improved cross border collaboration between governments. The Premier of New South Wales, the Hon Gladys Berejiklian MP, and the Premier of Victoria, the Hon Daniel Andrews MP, have signed the Memorandum confirming the NSW and Victorian Governments’ commitment to strengthen ...cross-border collaboration between the two states. This agreement is the inaugural Memorandum of Understanding between the jurisdictions which is specifically designed to address cross-border issues. It applies to state government agency activities in the border regions of NSW and Victoria, and the respective Local Government Areas. This agreement has been a long time coming and all who live and work in our border communities are looking for improved cooperation by all levels of government both to advance the region’s interests and to iron out border anomalies that impact on our daily lives, said Mr Clancy. Bill and I join in congratulating the Cross Border Commissioners James McTavish for NSW and Luke Wilson for Victoria for their efforts in drawing the attention of our governments to the special needs and opportunities of border communities and economies. Mr Tilley said actions will now speak louder than words. This is a piece of paper that gives our Cross-Border commissioners the authority of their Premiers they need to use this power to rid Border communities of the red tape, duplication of processes and hand brakes on development, he said. This is a piece of paper that tradies, businesses, industry, educators, mums and dads hope will allow Border communities to be treated as one in our case a community with a catchment of close to 200,000 so that we get our fair share of both States’ funding and services. The objectives of this Memorandum of Understanding for Cross-Border Collaboration are to: Provide an authorising environment for both governments to collaborate on areas of mutual interest; Identify and resolve cross-border issues that impede regional economic and social development; Develop opportunities to align planning processes and practices to support efficient infrastructure development; Provide efficient and consistent service delivery to border communities; Enable information sharing and networking opportunities between government agencies, and Develop long-term strategic regional management and cooperation. The NSW and Victorian Governments agree there will be Annual Work List, with actions addressing the Key Focus Areas. The Annual Work List will guide the work of each Cross-Border Commissioner in relation to the NSW/Victorian border.

08.01.2022 Yesterday afternoon was a real buzz for me. The little community of Ournie was heavily impacted by the bushfires at the start of the year - smack bang in the middle of both the Green Valley & Dunn’s Road fires. Several weeks ago I met with the community & they told me of their hopes of replacing the old school that served as their community hall with a new community hub. ... It was pretty special then to go back to Ournie yesterday afternoon with Julia Ham Snowy Valleys Council to let them know we have secured bushfire recovery funds from the NSW & Commonwealth governments to realise their dream of the community hub. Here’s cheers to a gem of a little community & the rebuilding of their community hub!

06.01.2022 I’ve just been to a media release here at Parliament House to hear RSPCA CEO Steve Coleman & NSW Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall MP announce a crackdown on illegal puppy factories. As a vet I can speak of the beautiful bond between pet & owner. I can also speak for many good breeders who do the right thing. This announcement today supports those who do the right thing and focuses on taking action against cowboy breeders who do not care for animal welfare.

03.01.2022 Given the general risk in Greater Sydney, new measures are required to reduce the transmission potential of COVID-19 while maintaining economic activity. The following measures for Greater Sydney (including Wollongong, Central Coast and Blue Mountains) are effective from midnight tonight; - Face masks will be mandatory in the following indoor settings: shopping (retail, supermarkets and shopping centres)... - Public/shared transport, indoor entertainment (including cinemas and theatres) - Places of worship, hair and beauty premises. - Face masks will also be mandatory for all staff in hospitality venues and casinos and for patrons using gaming services. Compliance will start from Monday, 4 January 2021 with $200 on the spot fines for individuals for non-compliance. Children under 12 are exempt but are encouraged to wear masks where practicable. People are still encouraged to limit non-essential gatherings and reduce their mobility where possible to further minimise the risk of transmission in the community. Whilst these measures do not apply to areas outside Greater Sydney (including Wollongong, Central Coast and Blue Mountains), we urge all residents and visitors across the State to practise COVID safe behaviours and get tested even if symptoms are mild. We thank the community for their patience and understanding. https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectio//Pages/default.aspx
