Mr MATT KEAN (Hornsby—Minister for Innovation and Better Regulation) (19:39): Tonight I pay tributeto an organisation in Hornsby that hasstepped up to help our farmers in a big way. Berowra Apex has been responsible for organising a convoy of 14 cars and trailers to do a 16-hour round trip to deliver much-needed cash and supplies to farmers who are doing it really tough at the moment.
The Hornsby area is buzzing with anticipation for the revamped quarry site. This park will provide a safe space for local residents to spend quality time with family and friends for many generations to come. To read details about the project, open the PDF below.

"Adolescence is a challenging time. Trying to find your place in the world and who you are is something that is never easy. For those adolescents who identify as LGBTI that challenge is far harder. All the research shows that LGBTI people are at a far greater risk of self-harm and suicide than their peers. So it is absolutely appropriate that we expect our schools to cultivate an atmosphere of tolerance, respect and care for those people who may be different. However, the so called Safe Schools Program goes much further than that..."
