    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.

  • QUEENSLAND January to June 2001
    552 Political Chronicles QUEENSLAND January to June 2001 JOHN WANNA and TRACEY ARKLAY School of Politics and Public Policy, Griffith University Playing Smart Politics with a Divided Opposition On 23 January, after embarking on a three week "listening tour" around the state's shopping centres, jumping on public transport and swimming with sharks, the Premier Peter Beattie called an early election for 17 February 2001 — with six months of his first term remaining. The campaign ran for 26 days, the shortest permissible under the Electoral Act. The catalyst for the snap poll was the damage to Beattie's government caused by the "electoral rorts" scandal involving mainly the powerful Australian Workers' Union faction. While the initial allegations of electoral fraud had involved pre-selection battles in two Townsville seats, the repercussions were much wider engulfing the entire party and bringing down the Deputy Premier Jim Elder and two backbenchers, Grant Musgrove and Mike Kaiser. However, Beattie's political opponents were divided and Labor benefitted from a four-way split among the conservative side of politics and some other conservative independents. From the outset of the campaign, Beattie attempted to present his team as "clean" and free of rorters. He argued that the evidence to the Shepherdson inquiry (see previous Queensland Political Chronicle) demonstrated that the rorters were "just a tiny cell of people acting alone, and they have resigned or been expelled, and I don't believe anyone else is involved" (Courier-Mail, 17 January 2001). As the campaign commenced, it became clear that Labor's campaign was not just organised around the Premier; Beattie was Labor's campaign.

    Australian Journal of Politics and History: Volume 54, Number 2, 2008, pp. 289-341. Political Chronicles Commonwealth of Australia July to December 2007 JOHN WANNA The Australian National University and Griffith University The Stage, the Players and their Exits and Entrances […] All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances; [William Shakespeare, As You Like It] In the months leading up to the 2007 general election, Prime Minister John Howard waited like Mr Micawber “in case anything turned up” that would restore the fortunes of the Coalition. The government’s attacks on the Opposition, and its new leader Kevin Rudd, had fallen flat, and a series of staged events designed to boost the government’s stocks had not translated into electoral support. So, as time went on and things did not improve, the Coalition government showed increasing signs of panic, desperation and abandonment. In July, John Howard had asked his party room “is it me” as he reflected on the low standing of the government (Australian, 17 July 2007). Labor held a commanding lead in opinion polls throughout most of 2007 — recording a primary support of between 47 and 51 per cent to the Coalition’s 39 to 42 per cent. The most remarkable feature of the polls was their consistency — regularly showing Labor holding a 15 percentage point lead on a two-party-preferred basis. Labor also seemed impervious to attack, and the government found it difficult to get traction on “its” core issues to narrow the gap.

Our Government recognises the importance of building our State's research capacity, in terms of facilities and workforce. Under the Smart State Strategy: Investing in Science: Research, Education and Innovation and Smart State Strategy 2005-2015: laying the foundation, the Queensland Government has made a significant investment in establishing 36 new research institutes and more than 230 research scholarships and fellowships. This investment into research infrastructure was based on the principle that by establishing world class research facilities, Queensland would attract and retain world class researchers. A successful example of this principle is demonstrated by the Queensland Brain Institute, which opened in November 2007 at the University of Queensland. Since its establishment, the Institute has attracted Professor Bartlett, a world renowned neuroscientist from Victoria, who now heads a team of researchers in Neural Plasticity Research. The establishment of the Queensland Brain Institute has also attracted a significant number of researchers from interstate and overseas. Following this investment in establishment of a number of research institutes, the newly released Smart State Strategy 2008-2012: a new direction is now focusing on investing in people.

  • Queensland January to June, 2009
    Political Chronicles 603 Queensland January to June, 2009 PAUL D. WILLIAMS School of Humanities, Griffith University Overview The first half of 2009 saw some of the most remarkable developments in recent Queensland political history. A state election that recorded a number of firsts — including the unexpectedly easy return of the first woman premier in Australia — coupled with a declining economy, a tough state budget, the proposed sale of 604 Political Chronicles government-owned corporations, and the rapid surge in support for a troubled opposition despite its convincing defeat just weeks before. If nothing else, this period underscored the vagaries of state politics. January The Liberal-National Party (LNP) opposition, emboldened by its successful amalgamation in mid 2008, came out swinging at year's beginning. Opposition leader Lawrence Springborg kicked off his unofficial election campaign in early January with a curious policy launch at an Ipswich motor cycle store. But conservative forces were soon distracted when Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce sounded out pre-selection possibilities for the lower house seat of Dawson and, later, a Northern New South Wales district. Joyce soon abandoned the plan for want of support. Premier Anna Bligh was forced into her own backflip when she scuttled a move to allow drivers to claim the 8.3 cent per litre petrol subsidy directly from service stations. The Premier soon backflipped again, this time over plans to axe unprofitable Queensland Rail rural freight lines. Meanwhile, the Queensland economy appeared to stall, with 1,300 jobs lost in just two months (Courier Mail, 15 January 2009). The year's first community cabinet, in Townsville, thus doubled as a jobs summit.

  • Queensland July to December 2000
    Political Chronicles 265 Queensland July to December 2000 JOHN WANNA Politics and Public Policy, Griffith University Once again, as the millennium year came to a close, Queensland politicians demonstrated they had not lost the talent for entertaining the nation. Not content with producing the One Nation whirlwind between two successive minority governments, politics in Queensland saw the Labor party inflict major damage upon itself as evidence of electoral rorting began to emerge. With Labor's credibility in tatters, Premier Peter Beattie ended the year hounding electoral rorters from his own party, losing his Deputy Premier and another backbencher in the process and with clouds hanging over other Labor members associated with the Australian Workers Union faction. The grubby revelations of skulduggery and forgery that provided much media entertainment, were brought on by factional infighting and pay-back politics mainly inside the AWU faction. For Labor, the one bright note from the whole incident was the unshakeable personal standing of Beattie (remaining around 58 per cent throughout the crisis), which paradoxically appeared to be enhanced by his uncompromising "clean out the rorters" stance. Labor remained more popular than the Coalition throughout the entire second half of 2000 despite the electoral forgery allegations. The government was riding high in the polls in June with 62 per cent support on a two-party preferred basis and 49 per cent primary support (its highest level of support since the immediate post-Fitzgerald days of 1989-92). Labor held its ground in July-August (retaining 49 per cent primary vote) despite losing slightly in two-party preferred terms (down by 4 per cent to 58 per cent).
