  • JOINT STATEMENT Premier and Minister for the Arts the Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk Minister for Education and M
    JOINT STATEMENT Premier and Minister for the Arts The Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk Minister for Education and Minister for Tourism, Major Events, Small Business and the Commonwealth Games The Honourable Kate Jones Premier welcomes direct flights from Shanghai to Brisbane Queensland has become the first Australian state to sign a Memorandum of Understanding with China Eastern Airlines in a landmark agreement set to deliver a $22 million tourism boost for the State, Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced today. Ms Palaszczuk said the agreement came off the back of a meeting she had with China Eastern during her trade trip in China last month. Minister for Tourism and Major Events, Kate Jones, signed the MOU in China overnight. Ms Palaszczuk said the agreement secured a new, year­round Shanghai­Brisbane direct service which will commence in November 2016 with three flights each week. “This new service is a win for tourism, bringing approximately 36,500 additional travellers and generating more than $22 million for the economy each year,” she said. “It comes in addition to a seasonal China Eastern service between Shanghai and Cairns providing access for up to 13,000 visitors each year to Tropical North Queensland, the state’s northern gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.” Minister Jones said the development underlined the Palaszczuk Government’s commitment to growing the Asian visitor market. “Chinese travellers represent Queensland’s largest international visitor market by expenditure, spending more than $833 million in the year to June 2015, an increase of 43% on the last financial year,” she said. “Queensland attracted 360,000 visitors from mainland China in 2014­15 and Tourism Research Australia forecasts China will overtake New Zealand as Australia’s dominant tourism market within five years.

  • Hon. Cameron Dick
    Speech by Hon. Cameron Dick MEMBER FOR GREENSLOPES Hansard Wednesday, 22 April 2009 MAIDEN SPEECH Hon. CR DICK (Greenslopes—ALP) (Attorney-General and Minister for Industrial Relations) (7.30 pm): I start tonight by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land where this parliament stands who have served and nurtured this land for centuries. I pay tribute to them and their great role in our history. It is in this reflection of history that I begin tonight. In December 1862, three short years after the birth of our great state, whose 150th anniversary we celebrate this year, the sailing ship Conway arrived in the small Queensland settlement then known as Moreton Bay. History little records the fate of the Conway, its passengers and its crew, but one thing is known about that day in December 1862: that is the day my family arrived in Queensland and began its Queensland journey. Almost 150 years later, that journey has taken me to this place, the Queensland parliament. I stand tonight as a representative of the people in our state’s legislature, not only as a fifth-generation Queenslander but also with great humility and honour as a son of the state seat of Greenslopes, the electorate I now serve as a member of parliament. My first thanks this evening go to those people who make up the community of Greenslopes. It is a wonderful and diverse community and I look forward to serving them to the best of my ability. This electorate is very dear to my heart. It was at Holland Park, in the Greenslopes electorate, that I was raised as a boy.

  • Ap2 Final 16.2.17
    PALASZCZUK’S SECOND YEAR AN OVERVIEW OF 2016 ANN SCOTT HOWARD GUILLE ROGER SCOTT with cartoons by SEAN LEAHY Foreword This publication1 is the fifth in a series of Queensland political chronicles published by the TJRyan Foundation since 2012. The first two focussed on Parliament.2 They were written after the Liberal National Party had won a landslide victory and the Australian Labor Party was left with a tiny minority, led by Annastacia Palaszczuk. The third, Queensland 2014: Political Battleground,3 published in January 2015, was completed shortly before the LNP lost office in January 2015. In it we used military metaphors and the language which typified the final year of the Newman Government. The fourth, Palaszczuk’s First Year: a Political Juggling Act,4 covered the first year of the ALP minority government. The book had a cartoon by Sean Leahy on its cover which used circus metaphors to portray 2015 as a year of political balancing acts. It focussed on a single year, starting with the accession to power of the Palaszczuk Government in mid-February 2015. Given the parochial focus of our books we draw on a limited range of sources. The TJRyan Foundation website provides a repository for online sources including our own Research Reports on a range of Queensland policy areas, and papers catalogued by policy topic, as well as Queensland political history.5 A number of these reports give the historical background to the current study, particularly the anthology of contributions The Newman Years: Rise, Decline and Fall.6 Electronic links have been provided to open online sources, notably the ABC News, Brisbane Times, The Guardian, and The Conversation.

  • 2021-03-24 Letter to Minister Bailey Re Lambert Road Traffic
    24 March 2021 Minister for Transport and Main Roads Mark Bailey MP Via email: [email protected] CC: Minister for Education Grace Grace MP Via email: [email protected] Request for a meeting to discuss trac congestion in the Lambert Rd precinct Dear Minister Bailey, I am writing to you about a significant trac and transport issue impacting my electorate that I would appreciate discussing with you or your sta. By way of background, the trac issues around the Lambert Rd precinct in Indooroopilly are a long-standing concern for local residents. The pressure added around school drop o and pick up times is enormous in this part of the neighbourhood. The precinct currently hosts more than 5,000 students at Indooroopilly State High (ISHS), St Peter Lutheran College (St Peters), Brigidine College and Holy Family Primary School. Some but not all of those students currently catch public transport, walk or cycle to school, and we don’t at this stage have a clear picture of the relevant transport mode share at all of the schools. The State Government’s recent proposal to build a new primary school on the grounds of Indooroopilly State High School has highlighted the extent of residents’ concerns about the trac issues, and the negative impact it’s having on their lives and ability to move around their neighbourhood. During the consultation process for the school, hundreds of residents made submissions, and contacted me and the Education Minister to oppose this proposed location for another school, primarily because of the significant trac issues the precinct is already facing.
