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. -

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. -

INAUGURAL CEREMONY October 10 2018 “I know that there are vast numbers of men who support woman and huge numbers of women who want more so together let’s create the mother of all paradigm shifts.” Jenny Morris Chrissy Amphlett PHOTOGRAPHER: TONY MOTT 2 1 “I know that there are vast numbers of men who support woman and huge numbers of women who want more so together let’s create the mother of all paradigm shifts.” Jenny Morris Chrissy Amphlett PHOTOGRAPHER: TONY MOTT 2 1 A FEW WORDS Message From AWMA Founding Director Message from the Premier & Ministers & Executive Producer It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the first Australian Women in Music Awards. VICKI GORDON We’re proud that Queensland is the inaugural home to this phenomenal program. The Queensland Government is committed to promoting the work of women in all fields, including the arts, and positions of leadership. We have pledged to appoint 50 per cent women to government boards by 2020, because we know that companies This evening we will make Australian music history. that appoint more women do better. The inaugural Australian Women in Music Awards is the result of many Australian women contribute a great deal to the country’s contemporary music industry, and yet only one in five voices and many visions coming together, all of whom refuse to allow registered songwriters and composers in our nation are women. Women also represent almost half of all Australians women’s contribution in the Australian Music Industry to be sidelined with a music qualification, and yet hold only one in four senior roles in our key music industry organisations. -

T Begin forwarded message: From: lsuru Neelagama < Sch 4 CTPI Date: 2 November 2016 at 5:39:02 pm AEST To: kirbyanderso Sch 4 CTPI Subject: National Heavy Vehicle Registration Scheme Hey mate, hope you are well. As discussed with Tanya the following dot points sum up the issue: • The Premier as Transport Minister signed Queensland up, not only to participate in, but also to be the host state for the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR). • The NHVR is set up to deliver red tape reduction, business growth, jobs for industry and lowered freight costs and better road safety for the community. • At the upcoming Transport and Infrastructure Council meeting the NHVR is asking jurisdictions for some cash to build a regulatory platform. • This regulatory platform is essential to the regulator delivering business and safetyReleased benefits to Queenslanders under and nationally. RTI Act - TMR • Queensland, which in essence was being asked to contribute about $15 million over three years has said no via cabinet. • If the NHVR, employing 200 odd people in Queensland is rendered ineffective because its host state can't stump up spare change, it will be embarrassing for the Premier as Minister who signed onto the reform. -

From: Environment [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, 19 August 2016 8:28 AM To: DLO EHP Subject: FW: Media Madness and the Tree clearing laws From: s.73 - Irrelevant information @scenicrim.qld.gov.au] Sent: Friday, 19 August 2016 8:00 AM To: External - Mount Coot-tha Electorate Office <[email protected]>; Environment <[email protected]> Subject: Media Madness and the Tree clearing laws Dear Steven I'm writing to you out of frustration, in regards to the vegetation management laws. I'm a technical professional whom works within both the agricultural and natural resource sector and I'm a very strong supporter of your proposed tree clearing regulations. But I'm dismayed at your media strategy to try to sell the changes to the public and the agricultural sector. Your proposed changes will not only benefit the environment but also improveDES the long term sustainability of the agricultural sector itself. I'm highly surprised that your media people and technical professional did not develop an engagement strategy around these benefits. by As a professional whom works daily with the agricultural industry I release, that if agriculture is to have a long term sustainable future, that farmers need these tree protection laws. In short many farmers need to be "saved from themselves" and furthermore, their grandchildren will thank you. 2009 Now that your proposed legislation failed I suggest you reset your narrative from vegetation to trees and the benefits that these "trees" have to agriculture and the loss to the long term sustainability of the Ag industry, that short sighted people (the LHP , Agforce and the Katter party) has perpetrated on the hard workingAct farmers of this State in the name of political point scoring e.g. -
