    Speech by Vicky Darling MEMBER FOR SANDGATE Hansard Wednesday, 11 October 2006 MAIDEN SPEECH Ms DARLING (Sandgate—ALP) (4.48 pm): Firstly, Mr Deputy Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Speaker on his appointment. This Assembly has chosen well. I know that he will provide excellent guidance to the new members of parliament. I feel honoured and proud to be the representative of the people of the electorate of Sandgate in this Assembly. I thank the voters of Sandgate for putting their faith in me and I pay tribute to my predecessor, Gordon Nuttall. The electorate of Sandgate is a truly special part of Queensland. It takes in the suburbs of Taigum, Bracken Ridge, Fitzgibbon, Deagon, Brighton, Sandgate and Shorncliffe. It is bounded by Bramble Bay to the east, the electorate of Aspley to the west and the electorate of Nudgee to the south. I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land which makes up the Sandgate electorate. The local Turrbul people have lived in the region for thousands of years. They referred to the land we now call Brighton, Sandgate and Shorncliffe as Warra, which means an open sheet of water. Lieutenant John Oxley first sailed past Warra and saw its people on 29 November 1823. The first government auction of land occurred in 1853, and by the summer of 1866 Sandgate was a growing seaside holiday village with three- bedroom seaside cottages renting for three pounds a week. Sandgate State School, which my children now attend, was opened in 1873 and in 1882 the Sandgate rail line opened.

  • Women's Political Participation in the Society
    Women’s Political Participation in the Context of Modernisation: A Comparative Study of Australia and Bangladesh A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University By Fardaus Ara Murdoch University Perth, WA, Australia 2017 ii Declaration I declare that the work presented in this thesis is, to the best of my knowledge, original and it has not been previously submitted either in whole or in part, for a diploma or degree at any educational institution. The research was initiated and developed by me. All other work, including data collection, quantitative and qualitative analyses, and the write-up, was also done by me. Specific contributions were made by others, and these have been noted and acknowledged. (Fardaus Ara) iii Abstract Many proponents of modernisation theory assert that economic growth leads inevitably to social development. Ronald Inglehart, Pippa Norris and Christian Welzel, in their revised modernisation theory, claim that along with socio-economic development, modernisation fosters cultural change that in the long run leads to greater gender equality in all sectors including politics. However, they have identified structural, institutional and cultural barriers to the political participation of women; cultural being the strongest force that sometimes resists gender equality despite economic development. Women are now participating in all sectors of politics. However, globally they are marginal in politics as candidates, elected representatives, ministers, the prime minister, political leaders, mayors and so on, regardless of the level of socio- economic development within countries. There is no country either developed or developing that has ensured equal participation of women in politics.

    11 February 2013 Approval process for 4th Gladstone LNG EIS just as flawed Rushed and pressured public servants were given impossible deadlines to approve Queensland’s massive new coal seam gas industry including three LNG plants for Curtis Island and raise questions about whether the public good and environmental impacts were ever properly assessed. Environment group Save the Reef says political pressure and staff cutbacks have increased workloads on the public service under the Newman Government and that it is deeply concerned about whether the 4th LNG plant will be stringently assessed, as it is supposed to be, to protect the environment and public interest. Save the Reef spokesperson Dr Libby Connors urged the current state government not to make the same mistakes. ‘Thanks to those rushed approvals, environmental harm has occurred. The Condamine river has methane bubbling up through it and the Great Barrier Reef is threatened with World Heritage Area ''In Danger" listing.’ Save the Reef says it is disturbing to note a government spokesperson was reported as stating that the industry was operating ‘with no evidence of significant environmental damage or adverse outcomes’. A public servant who issues an environmental authority that does not meet the criteria of the Environment Protection Act 1994 may be guilty of official misconduct. The Newman government is currently considering the approval of a 4th LNG plant for Arrow which is owned by Shell CSG (Australia) Pty Ltd for Curtis Island in Gladstone Harbour, part of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. This is despite the fact that just last year Shell re-affirmed its 10 year commitment to UNESCO not to develop oil and gas facilities in World Heritage Areas.
