Jamie Parker pushes to increase penalties for corruption

Published October 08, 2014 - Sean Nicholls, Sydney Morning Herald State Political Editor

The Greens, in a bill to be introduced by Balmain MP Jamie Parker next week, are pushing for a 10-fold increase to penalties for breaches of donations laws to $110,000, criminal sanctions and an increase to the period within which prosecutions may be pursued, from three years to 10 years.

The party also wants the amount of money that can be spent in each seat reduced, smaller caps on donations to parties and candidates, and more regular reporting of donations.

FERRIES AT ANNANDALE AND WEST BALMAIN

Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.

In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.

Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.

Dear Transport Minister,

New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.

I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.
