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. -
Greasing the Wheels I
GreasingThe systemic weaknesses the that Wheels allow undue influence by mining companies on government: a QLD case study Hannah Aulby Mark Ogge TheAustraliaInstitute June 2016 Research that matters. ABOUT THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE The Australia Institute is an independent public policy think tank based in Canberra. It is funded by donations from philanthropic trusts and individuals and commissioned research. Since its launch in 1994, the Institute has carried out highly influential research on a broad range of economic, social and environmental issues. OUR PHILOSOPHY As we begin the 21st century, new dilemmas confront our society and our planet. Unprecedented levels of consumption co-exist with extreme poverty. Through new technology we are more connected than we have ever been, yet civic engagement is declining. Environmental neglect continues despite heightened ecological awareness. A better balance is urgently needed. The Australia Institute’s directors, staff and supporters represent a broad range of views and priorities. What unites us is a belief that through a combination of research and creativity we can promote new solutions and ways of thinking. OUR PURPOSE – ‘RESEARCH THAT MATTERS’ The Institute aims to foster informed debate about our culture, our economy and our environment and bring greater accountability to the democratic process. Our goal is to gather, interpret and communicate evidence in order to both diagnose the problems we face and propose new solutions to tackle them. The Institute is wholly independent and not affiliated with any other organisation. As an Approved Research Institute, donations to its Research Fund are tax deductible for the donor. Anyone wishing to donate can do so via the website at https://www.tai.org.au or by calling the Institute on 02 6130 0530. -
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. -

Andrew Powell
Speech By Andrew Powell MEMBER FOR GLASS HOUSE Record of Proceedings, 11 March 2021 ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Mr POWELL (Glass House—LNP) (12.08 pm): I acknowledge the Governor of Queensland and I am privileged to again rise to reply to his address, the fifth time I have had the opportunity to do so. At the outset I acknowledge the people of Glass House. To those of you who voted for me and for the LNP, I say thank you. To those of you who did not, I also say thank you. It is because of you I remain humble. Let me be honest: while I accept the outcome of the 2020 election, I am bitterly disappointed. I am disappointed that Deb Frecklington, the member for Nanango, is not the Premier of this great state. The member for Nanango has to be the hardest working, most personable, friendly and genuine leader I have had the privilege of working alongside. I commend her for all of the effort she put in not only during the election campaign but across the three years of her leadership. Queenslanders will only know in the future what they have missed out on with the member for Nanango not becoming the Premier. I am equally disappointed that the member for Nanango’s vision for Queensland will not come to fruition—a vision that, as the then shadow minister for infrastructure, manufacturing, planning and a range of other things, would have seen an economy booming through investment in infrastructure, roads, dams, the New Bradfield Scheme and, more importantly, in frontline services to ensure all Queenslanders get their health needs met, their education needs provided for and their child protection and youth justice needs delivered. -
