Member for Barwon, Roy Butler, has tried to amend and delay the NSW government’s rushed laws in the wake of the Bondi terror attack, saying they don’t address the circumstances behind the attack while unfairly penalising regional people.
The NSW government recalled parliament to rush through laws that can prevent protests, restrict firearm ownership and move firearms licence appeal hearings to the Supreme Court.
A NSW parliament e-petition opposing the laws that was sponsored by Mr Butler has broken records for becoming the fastest to ever gather so many signatures.
The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has declined to investigate concerns raised by the Member for Barwon, Roy Butler MP, and the Australian Floodplain Association regarding the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder’s (CEWH) unmetered water diversions and new water entitlements on the Warrego River at Toorale Station.

Also, to service all in the local area, from Wee Waa to Walget, Rowena, and Pilliga, as well. Services include self-service washers for $6 and dryers for $6. All new 10-kilo machines, 2 washers and 2 dryers. Also available is a drop-off and pick-up service for bags of washing, which will be washed, dried and folded for those who do not have the time to do it themselves.
