【施政報告】減辣不等《預算案》惹「架空」陳茂波猜疑 李家超：意見完全一致
The new Policy Address will ease two stamp duties: the stamp duty on stock transactions and the stamp duty on property transactions. Both financial policies have previously been announced by the Financial Secretary in the Budget, but this year they were announced first by the Chief Executive. At an afternoon press conference, the media asked whether Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po’s views on easing the measures differed from those of John Lee Ka-chiu, and whether this would give the impression that Chan was being sidelined. Lee stressed that he and Chan were “completely aligned” in their views, and that during the debate process, “I pushed him and he pushed me”, demonstrating strong team spirit. He also referred to the concept of a “red team”, praising Chan for offering “very professional and very committed” views and drawing attention to “risks that had been missed”.
新一份《施政報告》將兩項印花稅「減辣」，分別是股票印花稅及樓市印花稅。兩項財金政策過往都由財政司司長在《財政預算案》中公布，不過今年則由特首「搶先」公布。在下午記者會上，有傳媒問是否因為陳茂波司長在減辣的意見與李家超不一致，又問會否給予「架空」陳茂波的印象。李家超強調與陳茂波意見「完全一致」，辯論過程「我推動佢，佢推動我」，很有團體精神。他又提及「紅隊」概念，讚陳茂波給予「好專業，好有心」意見，提醒「漏咗嘅風險」。

港大規程：立會修訂期完結 「損害校譽罪」及紀律委員會新構成明如期生效
The University of Hong Kong earlier submitted the Hong Kong University Statutes (Amendment) Regulation 2023 to the Legislative Council, proposing to add “damaging the reputation of the University” as one of the “offences” that the Disciplinary Committee may handle, and to change the committee’s composition. The Legislative Council Subcommittee on the Hong Kong University Statutes (Amendment) Regulation 2023 earlier approved several wording amendments at a meeting, but because the amendments “did not involve substantive content,” it decided after the meeting not to move them [1]. The final deadline for Legislative Council amendments was the Legislative Council meeting held yesterday. That meeting ended today (October 19); there was no relevant agenda item and no legislator raised an objection, so the regulation will take effect tomorrow as scheduled. The university has not publicly consulted students to date.
港大早前向立法會提交《2023年香港大學規程（修訂）規程》，擬新增「損害大學聲譽」作紀律委員會可處理之「罪行」之一，亦更改紀律委員會組成方式。立法會《2023年香港大學規程（修訂）規程》小組委員會早前會議曾通過數個字眼微調修訂，惟因「修訂不涉及實質內容」，委員會會後決定不動議上述修訂 [1]。立法會修訂最後限期為於昨日召開的立法會會議，會議今（10月19日）結束，會上無相關議程，亦無議員提出異議，故草案明日將如期生效。校方至今未公開諮詢學生。

保安局：動用300名關愛隊成員、510名公務員協助善後「極端情況」
Hong Kong was affected by typhoons and heavy rain in succession last month, causing flooding in several districts. The Government issued an “extreme conditions” warning for the first time on 8 September, and it remained in force for at least 18 hours. A Legislative Council member asked about the mechanism for issuing the warning and how many Care Team members and civil servants had taken part in the follow-up work. Secretary for Security Chris Tang replied that the Care Teams in Tsuen Wan and Southern District mobilised around 120 and 170 members and volunteers respectively. After the warning was cancelled, the Government activated the civil service “mobilisation mechanism” three times, assigning civil servants from non-emergency departments to assist with the follow-up work. They included around 510 civil servants from 13 bureaux or departments.
香港上月接連受颱風與暴雨影響，多區出現水浸，政府於9月8日首次發出「極端情況」警示，至少維持18小時。有立法會議員問到局方發出警示的機制，以及有多少關愛隊與公務員參與善後工作。保安局局長鄧炳強回覆，荃灣區和南區關愛隊分別出動成員連義工約120人及約170人，並在取消警示後三次啟動公務員「動員機制」，指派非應急部門的公務員協助善後，當中包括來自13個局或部門、約510位公務員。

尚海龍打鑼賀復會惹非議 稱若遇批評「下次唔做喇」
Lau Cheong-kong, the pro-establishment camp’s “class monitor” in the Legislative Council, recently set several “class rules” for the Council’s proceedings after its resumption, hoping to ensure order in the chamber. However, Jesse Hailong Shang of the Election Committee constituency made a conspicuous gesture. While moving a motion, he said he was privileged to have had the “first taste” and deliberately brought a large gong, which he struck forcefully. President Andrew Leung immediately said: “Member Jesse Hailong Shang, you shouldn’t have beaten the gong! Please continue with your speech.”
