Clampdown on animal activists

Animal rights activists who illegally trespass on NSW farms will, from next month, face hefty, on-the-spot fines as part of a shake-up of biosecurity laws.

The State Government will today unveil new penalties which would see illegal trespassers face fines of up to $220,000 per person and $440,000 for corporations.

Agriculture Minister Adam Marshall said trespassers posed a serious biosecurity risk which could potentially wipe out entire farming operations.

"This is just the first part of a broader package of reforms which the Government is working on and we'll be introducing further new penalties and rules, including jail time, in the not too distant future," he said.

Deadly crash in Taree

A woman and an infant have been cut free from a fatal car crash which left one man dead in the state's mid-north coast at the weekend.

On Saturday afternoon, emergency services were called to Hillville, just south of Taree, after a Holden Commodore left the road and collided with a large tree.

A male passenger, 22, sustained serious injuries and died at the scene while the female driver, 21, and a two-year-old infant were trapped in the vehicle.

Both were stabilised and freed. The infant, who had multiple fractures, was airlifted from the scene.

Smoke-free zone proposed for North Sydney

A community engagement process undertaken by North Sydney Council found respondents were worried about second-hand smoking.

The Heart Foundation is urging North Sydney Council to vote for a smoke-free CBD when it considers a proposal to introduce a smoking ban at a meeting tonight.

Between October 2018 and February 2019, the council sought community input on the proposal and found 80 per cent of those who made submissions supported a smoking ban in the CBD.

"Smoking bans reduce involuntary exposure to tobacco smoke, support ex-smokers, create a cleaner environment, and promote a positive health message," NSW Heart Foundation chief executive Kerry Doyle said.

A report tabled at tonight's North Sydney Council meeting recommends a six-month "promotion" period ahead of the ban.
