NSW Parliament – Macquarie Room Parliament of New South Wales
01:15:34 - 01:16:36
Speaker 1
the first hearing of the committee's inquiry into emerging combat sports and comparable activities. I acknowledge the Gadigal people of the Eora nation, the traditional custodians of the lands on which we're meeting today. I pay my respects to elders past and present and celebrate the diversity of Aboriginal peoples and their ongoing cultures and connections to the lands and waters of New South Wales. I also acknowledge and pay my respects to any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people joining us today. My name is Sarah Kaine and I'm chair of the committee.
I ask everyone in the room to please turn their mobile phones to silent. Parliamentary privilege applies to witnesses in relation to the evidence they give today, however it does not apply to what witnesses say outside of the hearing. I urge witnesses to be careful about making comments to the media or to others after completing their evidence. In addition, the Legislative Council has adopted rules to provide procedural fairness for inquiry participants. I encourage committee members and witnesses to be mindful of these procedures.
Welcome Mr. Kane and thank you for making the time to give evidence. Could you please state your name and position title and swear either an oath or an affirmation?
01:16:36 - 01:16:44
Speaker 8
My name is Darren Kane. Relevantly, I'm the chair of the Combat Sports Authority of New South Wales and I'll take an oath.
