For next week in NSW Legislative Assembly (House)..... we have the Business Paper No.42 (same as Notice Paper for the FEDS) for Tuesday 12th March. So what does it say will happen on 12th March????

"" BUSINESS PAPER
Tuesday 12 March 2024
GOVERNMENT BUSINESS
ORDERS OF THE DAY—

7 Environmental Planning and Assessment Amendment (Sea Bed Mining and Exploration) Bill; resumption of
the adjourned debate, on the motion of Mr Paul Scully, “That this bill be now read a second time.” (Introduced
7 February 2024—Mr Mark Hodges*).""

Item No 7 is the resumption of the bill that was tabled back on 7th Feb by THE GOVERNMENT. IMO I believe this resumption is 'debate' and then vote (maybe same day?? maybe later???).

So we should find out Tuesday a 'little' more on the future of this Bill - which I am of the opinion - WILL be passed as it is (currently) supported by both parties.

Also.....

""1 Minerals Legislation Amendment (Offshore Drilling and Associated Infrastructure Prohibition) Bill;
resumption of the postponed debate, on the motion of Mr Rory Amon, "That this bill be now read a second
time." (Introduced 22 June 2023; postponed to 2.30 pm, Wednesday 13 March 2024 pursuant to resolution of
the House of 22 November 2023, lapses 14 March 2024).""

This is the Private Members Bill that has been recommended by Parliamentary Committee that it should not pass. So we shall see on 13th March @ 2:30pm whether or not it will 'pass'. It seems that this bill will lapse on 14th March (I assume if nothing happens to this Bill on 13th March then it will just DIE on 14th March???)\

So 12th March in NSW Legislative Assembly will be an IMPORTANT day! Might have to watch the 'Live Feed' - if there is one????
