I support the Road Transport Amendment (Non-registrable Motor Vehicles) Bill 2026 and the measures it contains to strengthen safety and enforcement around illegal e-bikes and other non-registrable motor vehicles.

My question is directed to the Premier. The old site of The Forest High School is vacant public land in a prime location next to the Northern Beaches Hospital that has already been rezoned for 1,000 dwellings and a town centre. This is the...

My question is directed to the Minister for Health. Staff at Northern Beaches Hospital were promised that entitlements would transfer across from Healthscope to NSW Health with the hospital becoming public.
