Club Grants Concessional Tax Rates - Question Without Notice
My question is directed to the Treasurer. If, in the upcoming budget, the Treasurer is going to continue to give clubs overly generous tax concessions for club grants and only tax mega‑rich clubs 26.55 per cent on all pokies profits over $5 million, what is the justification going to be...
Murray-Darling Basin Plan - Adjournment Speech
New South Wales has failed the Murray-Darling Basin. It has failed the communities of the basin, it has failed to protect the rivers, flood plains and wetlands of the basin, and it has failed the many species of birds, frogs, reptiles, turtles and fish that rely on healthy freshwater ecosystems...
Fair Trading Amendment (Fuelcheck) Bill 2026 - Second Reading Speech
As The Greens spokesperson for transport, I speak in support of the Fair Trading Amendment (FuelCheck) Bill 2026. This is a modest but important reform that will strengthen transparency in fuel pricing and availability at a time when households across New South Wales are under significant cost-of-living pressure.

Bowden's Silver and Lead Project - Adjournment Speech
In April 2023 the Independent Planning Commission [IPC] approved an open-cut lead, zinc and silver mine in one of the State's premier food and wine regions. On 16 August 2024, the Court of Appeal overturned that decision. Documents released through the Freedom of Information Act reveal a sustained, coordinated effort...
Gambling Tax Concessions - Question Without Notice
My question is directed to the Treasurer. The most recent Liquor and Gaming NSW data released last week shows that the people of New South Wales lost a record $9.3 billion on pokies last year, which is an 8 per cent increase on the year before. Shockingly, the number of...
