Berejiklian could scrap new Fire and Emergency Services Levy

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian has put the brakes on the controversial Fire and Emergency Services Levy (FESL), which could now be scrapped.

The FESL was supposed to come in on July 1 to replace the Emergency Services Levy (ESL) but it sparked consternation from several quarters, including from local councils, property owners and unions.

The government is now in the awkward position of having to reverse FESL legislation, which went through in March, to stall the scheme while it works out what to do next.

The new levy would have meant several changes: first, it would be collected by local councils on the state government’s behalf alongside council rates, rather than by insurance companies; second, all property owners would pay the levy, including those whose property is uninsured.

The government has repeatedly said that the ‘vast majority’ of property owners would be better off under the new levy, saving on average $47 per year, and that it would encourage more people to insure their properties. It said the levy was revenue neutral and fairer.

But this figure has been disputed by the firefighters’ union, the Fire Brigade Employees’ Union of NSW (FBEU), using figures from the NSW Valuer-General and formulae contained in the FESL Bill.

The union argued that property owners in some parts of Sydney, such as North Sydney, Mosman and the northern beaches, could end up paying more than double: up to $471 a year, compared with an annual average of $233 under the previous levy.

The FBEU argued too that the proposal shifted the burden from businesses to homeowners with people living in low-risk homes subsidising those in bushfire-prone areas and high risk industries while halving the state’s contribution by around $70 million annually.

Government News understands that some businesses had used the government’s online calculator and been shocked at how much extra they would have to pay under the new levy.

Yesterday [Tuesday] Ms Berejiklian and Treasurer Dominic Perrottet blamed the government’s deferral on the negative impact it could have on small and medium-sized businesses and made no mention of homeowners.

“While the new system produces fairer outcomes in the majority of cases, some people – particularly in the commercial and industrial sectors – are worse off by too much under the current model, and that is not what we intended,” Ms Berejiklian said.

Mr Perrottet said the FESL was a complex reform and there would be challenges during the transition phase.

“It’s not enough for this reform to work on paper – its real-life implementation has real life consequences for families and businesses, and we need to make sure they are not placed under unfair strain,” Mr Perrottet said.

The government would not be drawn on whether the scheme would be scrapped or deferred. Ms Berejiklian said during a media conference yesterday: “If we don’t get a fairer system, we won’t introduce it. But our intent is to defer until we get a fairer system.”

The government has said it will work with local government, fire and emergency services, the insurance industry and others to find a better and fairer path forward.

Reaction

News of the back down took many by surprise yesterday, cheering the firefighters’ union and local councils and aggravating insurance companies.

The FBEU took it as proof the tax was ‘hopelessly wrong’ from the start.

“They had six years, an inquiry and interstate precedent to get this right, and yet they completely stuffed it,” FBEU Secretary Leighton Drury said.

“The FESL is a bad tax, and the wrong way to go. It doesn’t need further review and tinkering, it needs to be scrapped.”

Mr Drury said there should be no levy and fire services to be funded from consolidated revenue, the same as police and other core public services.

The Local Government NSW (LGNSW), the peak body for the state’s local councils, also welcomed the policy rethink.

“Premier Gladys Berejiklian’s announcement that the government will not impose the FESL from July 1 provides an opportunity to pursue a true broad-based levy that replaces both the insurance and existing ratepayer contributions,” LGNSW President Keith Rhoades said.

LGNSW said the FESL was based on the value of unimproved land value of property in NSW and recent land valuations would have meant ‘significant increases’ for many property owners.

“Councils have already done a lot of work to comply with the government’s FESL legislation, and there will now be a need to undo this work – not to mention the associated costs. While this is regrettable, the chance to get the levy right should be our focus,” he said.

Meanwhile the insurance industry reacted angrily to the news and said it would increase policy premiums for property owners.

The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) said insurance companies were ‘shocked and disappointed’ by the decision to delay the FESL, especially as no deadline had been set for a final decision.

“This has significant legal and commercial implications for the industry. It is a logistical and technical challenge that will cause confusion and increase premiums for policyholders,” ICA spokesperson Campbell Fuller said.

“The resumption of ESL collection will come with significant additional costs that the industry will be forced to pass on in full to policyholders.”

He complained that ‘every other mainland state has abolished emergency services levies on insurance with little fuss’.

Mr Fuller said insurers had already spent more than a year and tens of millions of dollars on consultants and IT changes to prepare for the new levy.

The Emergency Services Levy Insurance Monitor, headed by Professor Allan Fels and his deputy David Cousins, had previously been tasked with being the ‘cop on the beat’ to ensure insurance companies removed the levy from policies and passed this on in full to homeowners and businesses.  

The government has said it will now oversee ‘a smooth continuation of the existing system and ensure insurance companies collect only the amounts necessary to meet fire and emergency services funding requirements’.

Penalties for any insurance company that does not heed this are steep: up to $10 million for corporations and $500,000 for individuals.

Both men had similar roles when Victoria did the same thing, following the 2009 Bushfires Royal Commission recommendations.

New rules see licence strikes cleared

 

By Andy Young

The NSW Liquor Amendment (Reviews) Bill, which was passed by the State Parliament last week, will see strikes recorded against licensed venues removed.

The changes to the laws will see strikes now recorded against the licensee rather than the venue, as The Shout reported earlier this week.

Minister Paul Toole said it would be “impractical” for the previous strikes to remain in place when moving forward with the new scheme as it would mean that two different schemes would be in place at the same time.

Arthur Laundy, whose hotel The Steyne in Manly received a strike, told TheShout that he felt “vindicated in as much as right from the start I have said that I don’t believe this is a fair rule”.

“I’ve said it right from the start, the government got it right with the clubs, but they didn’t get it right with the hotels,” Laundy said. As I explained to someone yesterday who was struggling to understand the issue: you own a trucking company and you employ drivers, if a driver goes out and has a serious accident, who should get the penalty? The driver of the truck, or the owner of the truck? He said, good analogy, I understand.”

He added: “I own the hotel, but I’m not at the hotel. I’m not the licensee. I’ve never considered it was a fair rule. I’ve argued now for some years on exactly that line. People have called me this morning to say it was a good victory, and I’ve said it was fair. I don’t think I asked for anything that was unfair.”

NSW metro councils set to lose planning powers on big DAs

 


NSW Planning Minister Anthony Roberts. Pic: Facebook

 

The Greens have come out swinging against the NSW government’s proposal to devolve local council’s planning powers on big projects to independent panels.

The reforms, which Planning Minister Anthony Roberts will take to Cabinet on Thursday, state that development applications over a certain [as yet unspecified] value will be taken out of the hands of metropolitan councils and given to Independent Hearing and Assessment Panels (IHAPs).

Cabinet will also decide on the value of DAs to be decided by IHAPs.

However, there is talk that smaller regional councils may be able to choose whether to use IHAPs or not. The IHAPs are currently optional but are used by larger metro councils, such as Canterbury Bankstown.

NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian will be hoping the move – touted as a probity measure – will allow the government to outwit Opposition Leader Luke Foley, who has been pushing hard for developers and real estate agents to be banned from standing for local council election, sparked by former Auburn Deputy Mayor and property developer Salim Mehajer’s windfall from DA decisions he voted on while on council.

Labor banned property developers from standing for pre-selection at any level of government in 2013, precipitated by then Prime Minister Kevin Rudd’s intervention in the NSW branch to stamp out corruption.

Last year NSW Premier Mike Baird banned councillors from voting on DAs where they could benefit financially, reverting to how the situation had been before 2012.

But Greens MP and Planning spokesperson David Shoebridge said stripping councils of their planning powers would ‘do nothing to restore integrity or accountability to the NSW planning system’ and was ‘a real step backwards’.

“Councillors are elected by their local community to make the tough decisions about their local area in a way that is transparent and accountable. This is directly contrary to that,” Mr Shoebridge said.

 “This is yet another example of the Coalition government stripping democratically elected councils of their decision-making and authority.”

He said that the changes would give the government the chance to handpick people from the property industry to make decisions on DAs.

Instead, he said the government should ban property developers and real estate agents from standing for office.

Local Government NSW, the peak body for councils in the state, is opposed to IHAPs being mandatory for councils.

LGNSW President Keith Rhoades said in January this year that he was concerned they would create another layer of administration and decision-making.

 “We’re concerned about the Planning Minister being given powers to impose local planning panels on councils, and about excluding councillors from those panels, because being the voice of the community is what they were elected to do,” Mr Rhoades said.

 “We are opposed to any persistent erosion of the rights of communities and councils to have a real say in the future of their neighbourhoods via local planning powers.

 “It is not clear what the criteria for replacing councillors with a local planning panel would be, and this needs clarification so there is no risk of arbitrary decisions.”

Why the seemingly tidy, leaked proposal for hospital funding may be a problem policy

NSW edges ahead with digital strategy but must keep promises, says expert

NSW is edging ahead of other states and territories when it comes to offering a ‘seamless digital experience’ when people transact with government but it needs to keep the digital journey consistent for users, says an expert.

The new NSW digital strategy, launched last week, promises to focus the state’s efforts on improving the way the government deals with customers, digitalising as many transactions as possible and simplifying processes.

Designing our Digital Future went public at last week’s CeBIT conference where the NSW Finance Minister, Victor Dominello, said the new strategy “represents a bold vision for ICT reform and cultural change within the NSW government”.

“This is not just an upgrade; this strategy provides the backbone for the delivery of next level, improved, user-centric services,” Mr Dominello said.

The aim is to make government services ‘more connected, customer focused and outcomes driven’ and it hinges on three things: customer experience, data and being ‘digital on the inside’.

Digital by default is the name of the game, with a target of 70 per cent of transactions done digitally by 2019. Improving customer experience is also central to the new strategy, meaning services and policies are designed around customer needs and made as simple, integrated and seamless as possible.

The customer is king

Alok Kulkarni, CEO of customer experience company Cyara, which has a number of government clients, said NSW was edging ahead of other states and territories by putting customer experience at the heart of policy making, service design and delivery and making it easier to deal with government.

The state has already had success with its Service NSW, which gathers a broad range of government services and transactions under one roof, both online and via a network of one-stop shops.

So too has NSW been forging ahead with digital identity, allowing many documents to be ported to mobile phones, with NSW driver’s licences the big one set to follow.

But while the state’s successes are stacking up Mr Kulkarni advised cautious optimism.

He said that for the new digital strategy to work, the government must ensure a consistent experience for users, by building across channels including online, phone and apps and across government departments and agencies.

“It may be hard to work out who is responsible for that [customer] journey end-to-end and the accountability, who owns what,” Mr Kulkarni said.

“It’s no longer an agency that you’re dealing with. You’re dealing with the NSW government.”

Making help available across every channel and providing ‘contextualised assistance’, where customers only had to explain a problem once, would also help provide ‘a consistent personalised journey’.

He said the government also needed to make sure it delivered on its promises to maintain public confidence, which had been dented by recent (federal) government disasters, including the 2016 Census meltdown and Centrelink robo debt.

This would demand strong inter-agency communication and this must be reflected in internal cultures.

Other critical factors included ensuring that digital platforms can serve customers properly.

He said it was important to offer people a similar service to what they already got from the private sector, ‘if not more because they [the government] are meant to be working for them’.

 “It’s very much achievable. The key thing for them is to make sure that they are able to deliver this experience to the customer and help them along the journey, holding the customers’ hand,” he said.

“There’s the ability to leverage shared resources across different agencies and to pool resources to deliver on outcomes.”

The task ahead did not have to be attempted all at once. Instead, services and channels could be rolled out iteratively and brought on one at a time.

Mr Kulkarni also suggested making it easy for customers to give continuous feedback about services and their digital experience so that any problems can be fixed and processes improved.

Data dominance

Data is another essential part of giving people a smoother experience when dealing with government.

The NSW digital strategy says that data will be open, collected and able to be shared digitally, as well as published in real time where possible. It will also be used to underpin policies and service design and should make it more responsive.

Mr Kulkarni said collecting multiple data sources into a single store of data about each individual means people do not have to provide data multiple times. This can also extend to authenticating identity once, having single log-ins where possible and more synergy with documents.

Mr Dominello spoke about two data initiatives at CeBIT: NSW Trends, a one-stop shop for public data on everything from hospital emergency waiting times to customer satisfaction with Service NSW; and dMarketplace, where citizens can consult third-party reviews to chose datasets “along the lines of ‘Trip Advisor’ or ‘Wotif’”.

Digital on the inside

Another key pillar of the strategy is ‘digital on the inside’, which means digital transactions are designed around user needs by streamlining processes across agencies and within clusters to eliminate duplication. Using whole of government platforms contributes to this.

Artificial intelligence can be employed, for example through chat bots, to automate routine tasks and free up frontline staff for more complex queries.

Mr Kulkarni said the changes would have a mostly positive impact on NSW departmental staff.

“I think it’s quite exciting for them. They will be able to service the customer a lot better but they also need to change.

“Some things they are in control of now they might not be in control of any more. They will have to come to terms with that. Agencies will have to make it about the customer.”

The NSW digital strategy will be something every department and agency must grapple with, particularly because slippages against goals will be noticed.

Each department must report every six months to the Government Chief Information and Digital Officer (GCIDO), who in turn will report against strategy goals to the Expenditure Review Committee.

Chief Information Officers must provide a progress report every six months to the GCIDO, Damon Rees.

Changes to NSW Three Strikes Scheme welcomed

 

By Andy Young

The Liquor Stores Association NSW (LSA NSW) has welcomed the proposed changes to the state’s Three Strikes Disciplinary Scheme, which are currently before Parliament as part of the Liquor Amendment (Reviews) Bill 2017.

The Bill is the State Government’s response to the comprehensive review undertaken by the Hon Ian Callinan AC QC last year, which recommended a range of reforms to NSW’s liquor laws, including changes to the Three Strikes Scheme.

LSA NSW Executive Director Michael Waters has welcomed the proposed changes, calling them “sensible and pragmatic”.

“The proposed changes to the Three Strikes Scheme as part of the Liquor Amendment (Reviews) Bill 2017 are sensible, pragmatic, and have been long-awaited by industry,” Waters said.

“Having provision for a proper appeals process, and strikes for serious breaches of liquor laws to be incurred by individual licensees, rather than being attached to the actual licence, are important and common sense improvements that reinforces the importance of making servers directly accountable for their actions.
