Legislative Assembly 1406 15 May 1990 MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Deputy Premier's Visit to China Hon. T. J. BURNS (Lytton—Deputy Premier, Minister for Housing and Local Government) (10.06 a.m.), by leave: Mr Speaker—— Mr Lingard: No wonder you couldn't get a pocket hanky to match that tie. Mr BURNS: I have. I ask the honourable member to look at this. I will collect my money later. I wish to report to the Parliament on my recently concluded visit to the People's Republic of China. Between 25 April and 3 May 1990, I was privileged to lead a Queensland delegation, comprised of representatives of the Queensland Government and the Queensland business community, on a visit to the People's Republic of China. The objectives of the visit were threefold: firstly, to identify a practical means by which the sister State relationship between Queensland and China's premier industrial city, Shanghai, could be further developed in the 12-month period ahead; secondly, to provide official support for the various commercial initiatives being undertaken by the Queensland business community in Shanghai and elsewhere in China; and thirdly, to register with the central Government in Beijing the Government's concern at the state of human rights in China and, in particular, the central Government's handling of the student demonstrations in Tiananmen Square in June 1989. In May of 1989, Queensland began a sister State relationship with Shanghai. At that time the then Leader of the Opposition, Mr Goss, extended full bipartisan support on behalf of the Queensland parliamentary Labor Party to the development of this relationship. Late last month in Shanghai, as a member of the party in Government in Queensland, I was able to reiterate the parliamentary Labor Party's support for this relationship. However, in the 12 months since the initiation of this relationship, as a direct result of events in Tiananmen Square in June of 1989, little has been done to add substance to it. It should be noted, however, that, in stark contrast to the extraordinary measures adopted by the central Government in Beijing, the municipal Government of Shanghai demonstrated a remarkable degree of self-restraint in its management of the human rights situation within the area of its jurisdiction. The Shanghai administration has also been critical of the intervention by the armed forces in Beijing last June and the violence which subsequently ensued. It would therefore, from the perspective of this Government, be pointless and counterproductive to leave the Queensland/Shanghai relationship in some sort of suspended animation for the future. Rather, we should use the relationship as a modest means of maintaining contact with the forces within China which are supportive of reform and the open policy. I am pleased to confirm three significant developments which have occurred in the context of my visit to Shanghai and which have direct relevance to the future of the sister State relationship. First, as a result of my discussions with the Mayor of Shanghai, His Excellency Mr Zhu Rongji, the Shanghai Government announced that it would establish a representative office in Brisbane for the purpose of further developing trade and investment links between Shanghai and Queensland. Second, as an initiative of the Queensland Government, I was able to sign a joint memorandum of understanding with Vice-mayor Liu, representing the Shanghai Government on the exchange of secondary school level language teachers. Under this proposal, teachers of Chinese language will be sent to Queensland on an exchange basis with teachers of English language from the Queensland education system. The object of this exchange program in the long term is to complement the Goss Government's determination to rapidly expand the teaching of foreign and, in particular, Asian languages Legislative Assembly 1407 15 May 1990 in Queensland schools while using the in-country opportunities afforded by the program to develop within the Queensland education system a solid cadre of Chinese-speaking/teaching expertise. It is hoped that this program will commence in the 1991 school year. Third, while in Shanghai, I extended to the mayor and an appropriate vice-mayor an invitation to visit Queensland later this year for the purpose of opening the proposed Shanghai office in Brisbane as well as participating in opening ceremonies for the exhibition of Shanghai bronzes scheduled to commence at the Queensland Art Gallery in September of this year. The exhibition of Shanghai bronzes represents a significant investment on the part of the Goss Government in expanding the cultural relationship between Shanghai and Queensland. This is a major exhibition and it is the first occasion on which these artefacts will travel to Australia. They will be seen in Brisbane before going on to Sydney. At the outset, I said that the second of our objectives in travelling to China was to provide official support for the activities of Queensland businessmen seeking to develop trade and investment links with Chinese corporations. Businesses represented in the delegation came from a wide cross-section of the Queensland business community, ranging from the mining sector through to animal husbandry, food- processing, consultancy services as well as freight-forwarding services. I have been advised that, during the course of our visit, each of the companies represented in my delegation was able to considerably advance its negotiations with its Chinese counterparts. There appears to be considerable potential for the expansion of cooperation between Shanghai and the Queensland sugar industry—potential which I propose to raise with relevant Queensland companies. The visit gave me the opportunity to witness first hand the extensive nature of Mount Isa Mines' commercial interests in China. It was indeed heartening to see Queensland's foremost company demonstrate such an enthusiastic approach to the development of its international market opportunities in this most dynamic region. I wish to inform Parliament that the Goss Government has decided to appoint the managing director of MIM's trading arm—Mintrade Pty Ltd—Mr David Woodall, as chairman of the Queensland China Council. The Government is confident that through this appointment the economic dimensions of the Queensland/China relationship will be put to the forefront in our efforts at the official level to develop the overall relationship.

  • Moving Towards the Entrenchment of Parliamentary Committees (Neil
    49TH PRESIDING OFFICERS AND CLERKS CONFERENCE WELLINGTON 8 – 13 JULY 2018 ** Paper to be presented by Neil Laurie Clerk of the Parliament, Queensland Moving towards the entrenchment of parliamentary committees Moving towards the entrenchment of parliamentary committees 2018 celebrates the 30th anniversary of the re-introduction of parliamentary committees in the Queensland Parliament. Committees went into abeyance in the Queensland Parliament from 1922 when the Legislative Council was abolished and it became unicameral until 1988 with the introduction of a Public Works Committee. The Committee system was overhauled in 2011 into a comprehensive, modern system. Further reforms in the 55th Parliament have moved Queensland closer to entrenching committees as an integral part of the parliamentary process; especially as regards the consideration of legislation. Some history re the Queensland committee system From its commencement in 1860 the Queensland Parliament had a very active committee system. Bills were regularly considered by committees and other issues, such as state development projects, were the subject of extensive inquiry.1 From the commencement of the 20th century, coinciding with the rise of political parties, committees went into decline. Only a handful of select committees (excluding domestic committees) were established after 1904 (apart from a brief period of increased committee use from 1912 to 1914, during the 19th Parliament). There were no select committees established after 1915. In 1922 the Legislative Council was abolished. This was also the effect death-knell for committees. Apart from domestic committees (the Library Committee, Refreshment Room Committee, Privileges Committee and Papers Committee etc.) there was not a single select committee established between 1915 and 1974.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    14 . The demise of the Coalition and the Nationals governing alone, 1981–1983 In 1980, backroom plans had been already entertained for a stand-alone National Party government supplemented by a few Liberal ‘ministerialists’— opportunists who would cross over and side with whatever the next ministry turned out to be in order to remain part of the next government. Historically, ‘ministerialists’ were typically senior parliamentarians who, forgoing party loyalties, decided to collaborate as individuals in the formulation of a new government. After the 1980 election, however, any such musing was put on hold as the two conservative parties lapsed back into coalition. This time, the Nationals clearly imposed their dominance, taking the prime portfolios and consigning the ‘leftovers’ to the Liberals. Labor began to refer to the junior partners as ‘Dr Edwards and his shattered Liberal team’—the losers who were ‘now completely the captive of the National Party’ (QPD 1981:vol. 283, p. 7). Despite his vitriolic attacks against the Premier and the National-led government, Llew Edwards retained his position as Deputy Premier and Treasurer—positions he would keep until he was deposed by Terry White on the eve of the Coalition collapse in August 1983, although there was an unsuccessful attempt by dissident Liberals to remove Edwards in November 1981. When the Premier learned about the dissident Liberal plan to topple Edwards, with Angus Innes taking the lead, he declared Innes an ‘anti-coalitionist’ and someone with whom he would not work. Instead, Bjelke-Petersen began hatching plans to form a minority government with whomsoever among the Liberals who would give him support; and then to govern alone until mid-1982.

  • Knox Family Stories
    Stories about my Knox Ancestors Bruce Fairlie December 20, 2015 1 2 1 Introduction While researching the details of my mother’s lineage, I became in- terested in the the fascinating stories associated with a number of her ancestors. I have chosen several of them to look at in rather greater detail, and their stories are presented in here. 3 2 Knoxes in London William Knox was one of my great-great-great-grandfathers. He was born about 1782 or 1793, perhaps in Scotland, perhaps in a foundling hospital in London. In any case, he was in London in 1820 when he married Dorothy (Dorothea) Fleming. Dorothy was born in Scotland, in about 1795. They wasted no time in starting a family, their first child, William, being born in August 1820 and a second, Margaret Janet, in February 1822. At about the same time, the congregation of the struggling Cale- donian Chapel at Cross Street, Hatton Garden in London were in need of a new minister. A Mr Laurie, one of the Elders of the Chapel, while on business in Glasgow ’talent spotted’ Edward Irving, who was at that time an assistant to the pre-eminent Dr Thomas Chalmers at the Tron Church. He asked Edward to undertake a four-week trial as minister at the Chapel in London. The trial was a success, and Irving was offered the job. Indeed, so keen were the Elders to have him that the obligatory need for the pastor to preach in Gaelic was removed, the Elders getting a Bill passed to annul this requirement.

  • Coalition.Pdf
    Kezia Griffin, ‘Maintaining a Relationship: The Queensland Coalition’ Centre for the Government of Queensland Summer Scholar Journal , 1, 2010-11 The official merger of the Queensland National and Liberal parties occurred in 2008 and saw the creation of the Liberal National Party (LNP). Since the amalgamation many have doubted the long term success and practicality of maintaining such a close partnership, and given inter and intra party conflict which has been a feature of coalition politics in the past, these critics are not without credibility. The fundamental argument against the amalgamation of the Liberal and National parties is that they are essentially two separate entities with different constituents and policy agendas. Though united by opposition to the Labor movement, the Liberals predominantly represent ‘business interests and conservative urban voters’ while the National Party has always aimed to be a ‘voice for rural interests’1. With this in mind it is difficult to envision how a cooperative coalition and now united party can be maintained while their greatest shared value is their opposition to Labor. History itself provides few answers to this question with the Liberal and National parties in Queensland butting heads over countless issues in regard to their varying social agendas. Amongst other issues, matters of economic management and trade hold major stumbling blocks for the cooperation of the two anti-Labor parties. This was evident in the debate in federal parliament in 1997 in which the Howard government, in true

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    15 . The implosion of Joh Bjelke- Petersen, 1983–1987 The 1983 election ended the ‘constitutional crisis’ by providing the Nationals with exactly half the seats in the Parliament (41) and the opportunity to supplement their ministry with Liberal ministerialists who would agree to join the new government. The Premier had a number of options to secure his majority. Many of the surviving former Liberal ministers were not generally regarded as ‘anti-coalitionists’ in the previous government. The six potential ministerialists who might have been persuaded to change allegiances were: Norm Lee, Bill Lickiss, Brian Austin, Don Lane, Colin Miller and even Bill Knox. According to the Courier-Mail (15 July 1983), when two Coalition backbenchers, Bill Kaus and Bob Moore, had quit the Liberals and joined the Nationals in July, two Liberal ministers, Norm Lee and Bill Lickiss, already had indicated they would consider jumping ship. It was almost as if a race to defect was on. The two other Liberals to survive the 1983 poll, Terry White and Angus Innes, would not have been acceptable to the Premier and his senior ministers. In total, six of the eight Liberals had been ministers (although Miller had served for just 13 days after White was sacked and before the resignations of all the Liberals were accepted). Knox had been a minister since 1965 and Lee and Lickiss had been ministers since early 1975. They had some pedigree. Austin and Lane (and White) each had one parliamentary term as minister. Two Liberals, however, took the issue into their own hands. The day after the election, Austin and Lane had discussed the prospects of defecting and swapping parties, with Austin saying ‘I’m sick of this…I reckon we ought to give ’em the arse.

  • Political Chronicle QUEENSLAND
    Political Chronicle QUEENSLAND Queensland politics over the last six months of 1983 were dominated by a series of tumultuous events. The state's twenty-six year old coalition government disintegrated, and was replaced for the nine-week period leading up to the state election by a National party minority government. At that election the Nationals secured 41 out of the possible 82 seats, though with the defection to them, a matter of days after the election, of two former Liberal ministers (who, incidentally, were returned as Liberal members on election day), the National party was able to form a government in its own right. For its part, the Liberal party in Queensland was almost destroyed as a political force in this state as a result of this series of events. An interesting feature of the events which took place in August was that, while the coalition break-up was sparked by incidents in the state Parliament, the Parliament itself was not involved in any of the events (e.g. the formation of a minority government) which were to follow. In this respect, the actions of the state governor, acting on the premier's advice, were to prove of considerable political significance. The Coalition Crisis The coalition crisis was set in motion on 4 August by the action of Terry White, at the time a Liberal minister in the state's coalition government, in supporting in the Legislative Assembly a Liberal backbench motion for the suspension of standing orders. White's support of this motion, which in its intent was aimed at bringing forward debate about the possible establishment of a parliamentary public accounts committee in Queensland, was interpreted by his own party leader (Dr Edwards) and by the premier (Mr Bjelke-Petersen) as a breach of ministerial responsibility.
