Hansard 1 August 2001 1 Aug 2001 Legislative Assembly 2037 WEDNESDAY, 1 AUGUST 2001 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PETITIONS The Clerk announced the receipt of the following petitions— Penalties and Sentences Mr Neil Roberts from 78 petitioners, requesting the House to amend law with more severe penalties for perpetrators of crime. Copperfield River Dam Mrs C Scott from 415 petitioners, requesting the House supply funds through the Department of Natural Resources/SunWater so as to enable the continuous operations of the Copperfield River Dam. PAPERS MINISTERIAL PAPER The following ministerial paper was tabled by The Clerk— Minister for Health and Minister Assisting the Premier on Women's Policy (Mrs Edmond)— Food Safety Standards Costs and Benefits—An analysis of the regulatory impact of the proposed national food safety reforms. MINISTERIAL PAPER The following ministerial paper was tabled— Premier and Minister for Trade (Mr Beattie)— Public Report of Ministerial Expenses for the year ended 30 June 2001. MINISTERIAL EXPENSES Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.32 a.m.): As a continued commitment to the people of Queensland, I today reaffirm my promise of increased accountability, transparency and efficiency of expenditure by tabling the latest public report of ministerial expenses. It is provided every six months and was enhanced last financial year by providing extra detail on office costs. Considering that an additional ministry and a parliamentary secretary's office have now been added to the government's structure and the significant work being undertaken by my ministers, I believe the report clearly shows that expenditure is being maintained at a reasonable level. There has been an increase of only three per cent in overall expenditure. This is despite an impact on salaries due to the public sector enterprise bargaining agreement which started at three per cent. I table the report. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Queensland Economy Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central— ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.33 a.m.), by leave: Queenslanders can now be proud of living in a state which has a growing international reputation of being Australia's Smart State. For many years we had to put up with being a northern afterthought from some of our southern colleagues. Now Queensland is the vibrant Smart State with a vision and strategies that will deliver long-term, New-Age jobs for Queenslanders and those who may choose to defect to paradise from the southern states. That is why Queensland is leading the way out of the GST-induced downturn, with a resurgence in business confidence. An employer survey by TMP Worldwide released today shows that a third of all Queensland employers plan to create jobs in the next three months and only six per cent are planning to shed jobs. The major industries in which there will be significant growth—these are not exclusive—are 2038 Legislative Assembly 1 Aug 2001 tourism, telecommunications and transport, all areas that the Queensland government has been focusing on. The QCCI barometer of business conditions recorded the highest ever quarterly increase in June. The Commonwealth skilled vacancies survey is showing strong growth in Queensland, while the national trend is still heading down. Latest statistics show that the total value of building approvals rose 19.1 per cent over the last 12 months—much greater than the 4.9 per cent rise recorded nationally. The value of non- residential construction has leapt 31.2 per cent in that period. Queensland exports are also booming. As Minister for Trade I am delighted. In 2000-01 exports of goods from Queensland grew by 29 per cent to $21.4 billion—well above the 22 per cent growth recorded nationally. Food exports from Queensland rose 21 per cent to $4.3 billion. Coal and fuel exports rose 36 per cent to $7.3 billion. Processed mineral exports rose 29 per cent to $3.1 billion. Exports of Queensland machinery and transport equipment rose 27 per cent to almost $1 billion. Being a Smart State means working to our strengths. Our strengths in biotechnology, research and IT are already yielding results. Queensland's own Peplin Biotech has researched, developed and patented three new cancer-fighting discoveries. As the Minister for Innovation knows, the company made this announcement last week. I made the announcement jointly with it. I am advised that one of the discoveries has the potential to eventually help defeat HIV, which is the fourth biggest killer of people worldwide. It may be many years before any commercial application is available, but Peplin Biotech will use these patented discoveries to advance its new generation cancer treatments with Australian and international pharmaceutical companies. Peplin Biotech is a Smart State company that was founded only three years ago and was listed on the Australian Stock Exchange in September last year. At the joint launch the CEO paid tribute to this government's policy for bringing about not only its formation but also its success. The company employs 26 people, including 20 researchers, and hopes to double that number in the next six months. Peplin Biotech's success story shows the enormous possibilities that exist for biotechnology companies. Its cancer cures cover breast cancer, prostate cancer and skin cancer—all major killers. It is a demonstrated success of my government's 10-year plan to make Queensland a major hub for biotechnology in the Asia-Pacific region. Queensland also has strengths in adding value to our agricultural production. The Orafti chicory project is an excellent example. The Minister for State Development, Tom Barton, made reference to this yesterday. With the support of Trevor Strong, the member for Burnett, he made this happen. If it were not for Tom Barton this would not have happened. This $250 million project will deliver 200 direct jobs and up to 600 indirect jobs to the Wide Bay region. State Development delivers again. This project will also provide a useful secondary crop for between 300 and 500 canefarmers around the Childers area. It delivers all the things we are seeking through our Smart State approach: regional investment, which will bolster the economic structure of a stressed region of the state; new jobs in a new export industry; new supply opportunities for local businesses; higher land productivity through soil regeneration; and $150 million in engineering contracts up for grabs by local industry. There is, however, one cloud on the horizon. Phillips Petroleum has announced today that it is deferring indefinitely the pipeline from the Timor Sea gas fields to Darwin. The problem is the proposed tax regime of East Timor. Members will know that we are keen to see Timor Sea gas come to Queensland, particularly for the Mount Isa region, the north-west Carpentaria province, Townsville and so on. The companies were expecting to pay 50 per cent of their corporate tax at the Australian rate of 30 per cent and 50 per cent at East Timor's rate of 44 per cent. Under the new arrangements announced last month, the companies would pay 90 per cent of their tax at East Timor's higher rate and only 10 per cent at the Australian rate. Opposition members interjected. Mr BEATTIE: I would not get excited. Members opposite will understand why this is a problem. Their coalition mates got this wrong. So here they are whingeing, undermining major projects again. National Party members are trying to undermine major projects. They do it every day. We work; they whinge. Under the new arrangements announced by the federal government last month, the companies would pay 90 per cent of their tax at East Timor's higher rate and only 10 per cent at 1 Aug 2001 Ministerial Statement 2039 the Australian rate. Further, East Timor's UN advisers are proposing a profits tax, which would extract a further $US500 million over the life of the project. Phillips, Shell and Woodside were given undertakings by East Timor that the new regime would be no more onerous. While the Howard government and the East Timor administration have sorted out a distribution of tax revenue amongst themselves, they do not appear to have properly considered the impact on the developers of Timor Sea gas. Quite clearly, the federal government should understand that without a Timor Sea gas project there will be no tax revenue to share. It is imperative that Foreign Minister Downer ensures that East Timor and their UN advisers understand the importance of this project to Australia, and northern Australia in particular. A sensible tax regime needs to be put in place which will ensure that East Timor receives the income it so desperately needs. If this does not happen, then the Liberal-National government federally will have allowed the future growth of Darwin to slip through its fingers together with a major opportunity for a new supply of competitive gas to Queensland and the rest of Australia. Another problem here, of course, is the change in depreciation rates for pipelines from 20 to 50 years being mooted by the ATO and the federal government. That needs to be changed, because that is another major negative. We want this project to happen. It is imperative that the federal government acts now and acts quickly to ensure that it becomes reality. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Goodwill Games Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.41 a.m.), by leave: We are now just 28 days away, as at today, from the biggest sports event in Brisbane's history, the 2001 Goodwill Games. Banners are appearing all over town, volunteers are undergoing training, and the line-up of athletes is almost complete.
