  • MICHAEL BERKMAN ​MP Queensland Greens Member for Maiwar
    MICHAEL BERKMAN ​MP Queensland Greens Member for Maiwar 31 October 2018 Hon Mark Bailey MP Minister for Transport and Main Roads GPO Box 2644 BRISBANE QLD 4001 Via email: ​[email protected] Dear Minister Bailey, I am writing to convey concerns expressed by one of my constituents in relation to the roundabout that connects Boundary Road, Rouen Road and Rainworth Road. I understand that, given this is a State controlled road forming part of the regional road network, some issues such as crossings and signage may overlap State and local government jurisdiction. Accordingly, I am contacting both you and Paddington Ward Councillor Peter Matic to request assistance addressing the concerns outlined below, in the hope that this matter may be resolved quickly. I understand from my constituent, James, that cars frequently speed through the roundabout, either ignoring or unaware of the pedestrian crossing. James tells me he recently had a near-miss incident at the roundabout while pushing his 8 week old daughter in her pram; two cars rapidly passed through the roundabout, apparently unaware of him standing and waiting at the edge of the crossing. He believes that if he had exercised the right of way afforded by the pedestrian crossing, he and his daughter could have been seriously injured. Locals also tell me there are other issues with traffic along Boundary and Rouen Roads in that residential area, and in particular trucks frequently using their engine brake systems. Are you able to advise whether there are any existing plans to upgrade roads or improve signage in this area, or to undertake other traffic management strategies to accommodate this growing residential community? I would also request that your department: 1.

  • Maiden Speech
    Speech By Michael Berkman MEMBER FOR MAIWAR Record of Proceedings, 22 March 2018 MAIDEN SPEECH Mr BERKMAN (Maiwar—Grn) (4.52 pm): I begin, as so many have done before me, by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet—the Jagera and Turrbal people— and their ancient culture, traditions and lore. I stand here on their land and acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereignty has never been ceded—that this parliament sits on stolen land. If we are to make amends for the colonisation and the dispossession and genocide of the last 230 years—and we should—clear recognition of first nations’ sovereignty and the negotiation of treaties with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples must be a priority for our state, country and community. I pay my respects to elders past and present and I thank them for their ongoing custodianship of this vast and unique continent. I lament that since invasion we have not only disrupted your connection to country but fallen far short of following your example and fulfilling our duty to care for this land and preserve it for future generations. It was a great honour to have local elder Uncle Des Sandy attend as my guest for the opening of this parliament. We discussed that I was not only the first member of the Queensland Greens to be elected to this chamber but also the inaugural member for the newly created seat of Maiwar. He asked me a question that surprised me: ‘What does Maiwar mean?’ As I understood it, Maiwar was the local Indigenous people’s name for what we now call the Brisbane River, but Uncle Des’s response spoke volumes to me about the depth of his understanding of and connection to his country and just how much we have to learn from our first nations people.

    .A FUTURE FOR ALL OF US. Stacey Rawlings Queensland Manager Engineers Australia by email only to [email protected] Thursday 16 November 2017 Dear Stacey, ENGINEERS AUSTRALIA POSITION STATEMENT QUEENSLAND GREENS RESPONSE Thank you for the opportunity to respond to your position statement. The Queensland Greens is the party for our planet and for creating and building our future. This state election campaign has proven once again that the major parties are incapable of articulating a real positive vision for the future of Queensland - and once again, it has been up to the Greens to show them how it’s done. Engineering as a profession is not only central to so many of the drivers of Queensland’s economy, we believe engineers are key to solving our problems today, to build a better tomorrow. Just this campaign, we’ve announced a number of massive, fully-costed packages that would be of interest to your members: • A Home for All - The Queensland Greens’ plan to build a million affordable homes over 30 years, creating 160,000 jobs in the first ten years. You can find out more at greens.org.au/qld/homeforall. • Power for People - The Queensland Greens’ plan to invest $15 billion over 5 years to build Queensland’s secure and publicly-owned sustainable energy future, creating 5,500 jobs every year. You can find out more at greens.org.au/qld/powerpeople. • A Queensland Public Infrastructure Bank - The Queensland Greens’ plan to create a $10 billion infrastructure bank to build publicly-owned infrastructure all across Queensland, creating a state- wide jobs and investment boom, and focusing on upgrading schools and hospitals in high-need areas and supporting regional communities diversifying out of extractive industries or hit hard by climate change.

  • 14 October 2020 Mr Paul Wright National Director
    14 October 2020 Mr Paul Wright National Director, Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation Via email: ​[email protected] 2020 Queensland state election - policy platform Dear Paul, Thank you for your email of 1 October 2020, enquiring about the Queensland Greens’ policy platform ahead of the 2020 Queensland state election. It’s clear that Australians for Native Title and Reconciliation (ANTaR) is setting a vital agenda for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs policy in Australia. For your reference, the ​Queensland Greens’ election platform for the 2020 State Election is online at: https://greens.org.au/qld/plan​. Our long-standing broader policy platform is here: https://greens.org.au/qld/policies​. As I’m sure you would understand, if the Greens find ourselves in a balance-of-power scenario there is an enormous list of competing priorities, and the final decision on any negotiated outcome rests with the party as a whole. However, many of the priorities you have identified align with our agenda. ​Our fully costed plan​ sets out our agenda to create thousands of good secure jobs and fully fund public health and education, funded by making big mining corporations, banks and developers pay their fair share in tax. As requested, I have responded to your priorities below. All statements are complementary to statements by the Greens’ spokespeople, including myself, and other policy documents that are on the public record. 1. Treaty The Greens firmly support a treaty process, to be led by the Indigenous community, and on this basis we are committed to taking the current Queensland government treaty-making process forward.
