(B) A brief explanation of the Proposals. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Rail Tank Car Explosion, Cairns Hon. B. D. AUSTIN (Nicklin—Minister for Mines and Energy and Minister for the Arts) (10.08 a.m.), by leave: Honourable members wiU recaU that a massive explosion occurted at (Caims on Monday, 17 August 1987, involving a rail tank car of liquid petroleum gas at the depot of Gas Corporation of Queensland Limited. Extensive dams^e occurted to company property and to adjoining residential and industrial properties. Twenty-eight people were injured, of whom 26 sustained bums caused by the boUing liquid expanding vapour explosion (BLEVE) when the rail tanker burst. One victim, a Ministerial Statement 27 October 1987 3423 71 year-old man, died three days later from the effects of bums to more than 80 per cent of his body. The accident has been thoroughly investigated by the Chief Gas Examiner of my Department of Mines under the provisions of the Gas Act 1965-1985, and a detaUed report has been submitted to me. I understand that a coronial inquiry will be held in Caims to establish the cause of death of the victim of the accident. It is almost certain that the Chief Gas Examiner will be called to give evidence before the inquiry and to produce a copy of his report. I have therefore decided that it would be improper for me to release the report prior to the coroner's inquest. However, I am able to inform the House of the essential findings of the investigation and to assure honourable members that steps have been taken, and every necessary step will be taken, to ensure that such a disaster could not happen again. The rail tank car owned by Boral Gas (Qld) Pty Ltd contained about 22 tonnes of commercial-grade liquid petroleum gas when it was delivered to the rail siding in the company's depot at Bunda Street, (Caims, in the aftemoon of Monday, 17 August. During normal preparations for unloading, a substantial leak occurted, probably from a burst hose on the top of the tanker. The resultant gas cloud was ignited by the pilot light of a gas hot-water system in one of the adjoining houses, and the tank car was engulfed in flames. The pressure inside the tank car increased to the point where the pressure rehef valve operated and the vertical jet also ignited. Nine minutes after the initial ignition, while firemen were attempting to moderate the heat from the buming gas, the tank car mptured at one end, releasing its contents and causing a boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion. The remaining section of the tank car was propelled like a rocket across Bunda Street, coming to rest some 109 metres away. Other pieces of the tank car and fittings were thrown in aU directions up to 300 metres away. Miraculously, no person was injured by the flying debris, but extensive damage was done to adjoining properties, including the Caims brewery, a hotel and two houses. While the investigation has established the most probable source of the initial leak of gas, the exact cause is unknown. However, several contributing factors were also identified and some action has already been taken to eliminate them as potential sources in the future. It was clearly established that valves inside the tank car designed to shut off automatically in the event of a msh of liquid—excess flow valves—failed to operate. Immediate action was taken by Boral Gas (Qld) Pty Ltd to inspect other rail tank cars as they arrived at the company's terminal at Pinkenba and to replace any suspect valves. The fire protection system on the site, although complying with statutory requfrements, was clearly deficient in the circumstances. All bulk LPG loading and unloading sites will be required to include a deluge fire protection system. Of prime concem to my Department of Mines is the question of the adequacy or otherwise of the statutory requirement covering such installations, in this case principally standards or codes published by the Standards Association of Australia. Subject to any relevant findings of the coroner's inquest, it is proposed to review the relevant codes or standards through the appropriate committee, on which my Department of Mines is represented. As could be expected, the (Caims gas explosion has aroused considerable concem among statutory authorities and others interested in safety. It is my intention, therefore, to make the findings of our investigations known as soon as possible and as widely as possible. Finally, I must pay tribute to the efforts of the emergency services and others whose selfless regard for the safety of others above their own undoubtedly contributed to the relatively low incidence of injury. 3424 27 October 1987 Ministerial Statement MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Transfer of Basic Nurse Education to Colleges of Advanced Education Hon. L. W. POWELL (Isis—Minister for Education) (10.12 a.m.), by leave: The issue of the transfer of basic nurse education to colleges of advanced education has been the subject of considerable debate for the past few years, and more particularly in recent weeks. The debate is not, from the Queensland Govemment's point of view, about whether or not it should be transferted from hospitals to colleges. It is State Govemment policy that the training should be transferted to colleges. Contrary to what the honourable member for Murmmba alleged in this Parhament recently, I am not opposed to the transfer of nurse education to coUeges of advanced education. In fact, with my backing, the colleges are prepared to undertake basic nurse education at any time when funding is properly provided.

  • Cricket Memorabilia Society Postal Auction Closing at Noon 10
    CRICKET MEMORABILIA SOCIETY POSTAL AUCTION CLOSING AT NOON 10th JULY 2020 Conditions of Postal Sale The CMS reserves the right to refuse items which are damaged or unsuitable, or we have doubts about authenticity. Reserves can be placed on lots but must be agreed with the CMS. They should reflect realistic values/expectations and not be the “highest price” expected. The CMS will take 7% of the price realised, the vendor 93% which will normally be paid no later than 6 weeks after the auction. The CMS will undertake to advertise the memorabilia for auction on its website no later than 3 weeks prior to the closing date of the auction. Bids will only be accepted from CMS members. Postal bids must be in writing or e-mail by the closing date and time shown above. Generally, no item will be sold below 10% of the lower estimate without reference to the vendor.. Thus, an item with a £10-15 estimate can be sold for £9, but not £8, without approval. The incremental scale for the acceptance of bids is as follows: £2 increments up to £20, then £20/22/25/28/30 up to £50, then £5 increments to £100 and £10 increments above that. So, if there are two postal bids at £25 and £30, the item will go to the higher bidder at £28. Should there be two identical bids, the first received will win. Bids submitted between increments will be accepted, thus a £52 bid will not be rounded either up or down. Items will be sent to successful postal bidders the week after the auction and will be sent by the cheapest rate commensurate with the value and size of the item.

    Journal of the Melbourne Cricket Club Library Issue 40, Summer 2009 This Issue From our Summer 2009/10 edition Ken Williams looks at the fi rst Pakistan tour of Australia, 45 years ago. We also pay tribute to Richie Benaud's role in cricket, as he undertakes his last Test series of ball-by-ball commentary and wish him luck in his future endeavours in the cricket media. Ross Perry presents an analysis of Australia's fi rst 16-Test winning streak from October 1999 to March 2001. A future issue of The Yorker will cover their second run of 16 Test victories. We note that part two of Trevor Ruddell's article detailing the development of the rules of Australian football has been delayed until our next issue, which is due around Easter 2010.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    14 . The demise of the Coalition and the Nationals governing alone, 1981–1983 In 1980, backroom plans had been already entertained for a stand-alone National Party government supplemented by a few Liberal ‘ministerialists’— opportunists who would cross over and side with whatever the next ministry turned out to be in order to remain part of the next government. Historically, ‘ministerialists’ were typically senior parliamentarians who, forgoing party loyalties, decided to collaborate as individuals in the formulation of a new government. After the 1980 election, however, any such musing was put on hold as the two conservative parties lapsed back into coalition. This time, the Nationals clearly imposed their dominance, taking the prime portfolios and consigning the ‘leftovers’ to the Liberals. Labor began to refer to the junior partners as ‘Dr Edwards and his shattered Liberal team’—the losers who were ‘now completely the captive of the National Party’ (QPD 1981:vol. 283, p. 7). Despite his vitriolic attacks against the Premier and the National-led government, Llew Edwards retained his position as Deputy Premier and Treasurer—positions he would keep until he was deposed by Terry White on the eve of the Coalition collapse in August 1983, although there was an unsuccessful attempt by dissident Liberals to remove Edwards in November 1981. When the Premier learned about the dissident Liberal plan to topple Edwards, with Angus Innes taking the lead, he declared Innes an ‘anti-coalitionist’ and someone with whom he would not work. Instead, Bjelke-Petersen began hatching plans to form a minority government with whomsoever among the Liberals who would give him support; and then to govern alone until mid-1982.

TOHILL 26-10-2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The subject site; 70 Park Road, Yeronga (also described as Lot 3 on SP300888) forms the Yeronga Priority Development Area (PDA). The PDA is approximately three hectares and includes parts of Villa Street and Park Road in Yeronga. The redevelopment of the site facilitates the construction of a new community centre for Yeronga as well as opportunities to support residential development, small-scale retail and improved active transport. This report has been prepared by Wolter Consulting Group on behalf of Economic Development Qld in support of the proposed development to conduct operational works for clearing of significant vegetation over the land. The subject site has undergone extensive testing and investigation during demolition works.
