Hansard 6 August 2002 6 Aug 2002 Legislative Assembly 2569 TUESDAY, 6 AUGUST 2002 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE Tabling of Documents; Restrictions on Identifying At-risk Children Mr SPEAKER: Order! Honourable members, I note the matter of privilege raised in the House by the Minister for Families on 1 August 2002 in relation to the tabling by the Leader of the Opposition of a document which named at-risk children. I note the Leader of the Opposition's swift action to rectify the potential harm to the children involved. I therefore wish to report to the House that there is no matter of privilege. However, I have provided advice on the general issue to the Leader of the House. I now call the Leader of the House. TABLING OF DOCUMENTS; RESTRICTIONS ON IDENTIFYING AT-RISK CHILDREN Hon. A. M. BLIGH (South Brisbane—ALP) (Leader of the House) (9.32 a.m.), by leave, without notice: I move— That for this session A Member must ensure that when tabling any documents concerning a child or children subject to the Child Protection Act 1999 or the Juvenile Justice Act 1992 the document be tabled in a non-identifying manner such as by replacing any identifying features likely to lead to the identification of the child with a cipher such as '[name withheld]'. A Member choosing to replace an identifying feature with a cipher when tabling a document shall provide the Clerk of the Parliament with the 'key' to the full identifying features relating to the document. Any Member of the Legislative Assembly who so requests shall be granted access to the 'key' to the full identifying features relating to the document by the Clerk of the Parliament. For the purpose of this order, the term 'non-identifying manner' refers to information which if published would identify, or is likely to lead to the identification of, a child the subject of either the Child Protection Act 1999 or the Juvenile Justice Act 1992. Motion agreed to. PETITIONS Police Services, Sunshine Coast Mr Cummins from 2,040 petitioners, requesting the House to support the efforts of the community to have a police station constructed (a) in Buderim on the land that was purchased by the State for this reason next to Middy’s Complex and (b) to possibly house the North Coast Police Headquarters as a 24 hour general duties police station and police specialists such as DNA, forensics, photography and other relevant needs. Port Access Road, Gladstone Mrs E Cunningham from 3,112 petitioners, requesting the House to direct the Minister for Transport to (a) stop the construction of the said Port Access Road, (b) initiate plans to reduce, rather than increase, the number of semi- trailers, B-Doubles and other heavy transport vehicles crossing the centre of the city to or from port facilities and (c) re-asses the further development of the Port of Gladstone to ensure, as opportunities arise, that truck based cargoes are directed away from inner city port precincts to developing facilities at Fishermans Landing and Wiggins Island. Oral Health Therapists Mr Purcell from 18 petitioners, requesting the House to allow dental and oral health therapists to also treat adults rather than being restricted to children and youth under 18 years. Rabbits Mr Robertson from 2,967 petitioners, requesting the House to allow the sale and keeping of domestic pet rabbits in Queensland. PAPERS PAPERS TABLED DURING THE RECESS The Clerk informed the House that the following papers, received during the recess, were tabled on the date indicated— 2570 Ministerial Statement 6 Aug 2002 2 August 2002— Report by the Minister for Environment (Mr Wells) pursuant to section 56A(4) of the Statutory Instruments Act 1992 Report by the Minister for Primary Industries and Rural Communities (Mr Palaszczuk) under section 56A(4) of the Statutory Instruments Act 1992 STATUTORY INSTRUMENTS The following statutory instruments were tabled by The Clerk— Queensland Building Services Authority Act 1991— Queensland Building Services Authority Amendment Regulation (No. 2) 2002, No. 190 Parliamentary Service Act 1988— Parliamentary Services By-law 2002, No. 191 Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002— Personal Injuries Proceedings Regulation 2002, No. 192 Fisheries Act 1994— Fisheries (BHC) Quarantine Declaration 2002, No. 193 Fisheries Act 1994— Fisheries (BHC) Disease Declaration 2002, No. 194 MINISTERIAL RESPONSE TO A PETITION The following response to a petition, received during the recess, was tabled by The Clerk— Response from the Minister for Natural Resources and Minister for Mines (Mr Robertson) to a petition presented by Mr Livingstone from 2,982 petitioners regarding the Coominya Fishing Club and the leasing of land to private fishing clubs along the Wivenhoe Dam shoreline— Queensland Government 2 Aug 2002 Mr R. D. Doyle The Clerk of the Parliament Parliament House Alice and George Streets Brisbane Qld 4000 Dear Mr Doyle I refer to your letter of 10 May 2002 forwarding a copy of a petition lodged in the Queensland Legislative Assembly requesting the House to require the Coominya Fishing Club to remove the locked gate at McLean's Point and not allow further leasing of land to private fishing clubs along the Wivenhoe Dam shoreline. McLeans Road does not extend beyond the locked gate and the portion of land at McLean's Point is not owned by the State Government, but is owned by the South East Queensland Water Corporation Limited, a private entity. As a freehold owner, the Board of the Corporation can lease out its land, as well as issue licences over its land. The Corporation has licensed the portion of land to the Coominya Fishing Club. The petitioners should contact the South East Queensland Water Corporation Limited. Thank you for bringing this matter to my attention. Yours sincerely (Sgd) STEPHEN ROBERTSON MP MINISTERIAL STATEMENT National Jet Systems; Oracle Corporation Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.35 a.m.), by leave: Queensland's push to become the aviation hub of South-East Asia will receive a further boost this afternoon when I officially open the new National Jet Systems maintenance hangar at Brisbane airport. This investment of more than $4 million is further evidence of the state's growing aviation industry. I thank my colleague the Minister for State Development, Tom Barton, for his involvement in helping to make this development possible. I thank also the Minister for Employment, Matt Foley, for his assistance in this general strategy. National Jet Systems already employs 48 highly qualified engineering and support staff in Brisbane and the new hangar means the company is now aiming to double that work force in the long term. In addition, there are 40 pilots and 37 flight attendants who depend on the engineering staff to keep their aircraft in the skies. 6 Aug 2002 Ministerial Statement 2571 Nationwide, the company employs more than 1,000 people and now owns its own hangars in Perth, Broome, Adelaide, Darwin and Brisbane. It provides a wet leasing service for Qantas's Airlink in Queensland, runs scheduled services to Christmas Island and the Cocos Islands, and provides fly-in fly-out services to remote locations like the Cooper Basin gas fields at Moomba and Ballera and the Ok Tedi mine in Papua New Guinea. It also has air charter and air cargo services. Brisbane airport offers a well-located maintenance zone, good aviation weather, plenty of room for growth—unlike Sydney airport—and proximity to the Asia-Pacific region. Boeing, Smiths Aerospace, Asia Pacific Aerospace, Jetcare, and EADS's subsidiary Australian Aerospace also operate in Brisbane. In addition, Qantas is establishing a heavy maintenance facility for its fleet of 36 Boeing 767 aircraft, while Singapore Airlines will create an advanced flight training facility on the Sunshine Coast. Virgin Blue is headquartered in Queensland, while Australian Airlines will bring 350,000 passengers a year into far-north Queensland from late October. Singapore Airlines, Air New Zealand and Qantas are also introducing new flights. So our plans for establishing Queensland as a major hub for aviation in our part of the world are well on track. Aviation is moving north. That is a great tribute to the strategies of Smart State in developing new industries and new opportunities. While I am talking about new opportunities, Queensland's Smart State reputation has been enhanced further through Oracle Corporation, the world's largest enterprise software company, expanding its Brisbane Software Development Centre. Oracle, which provides enterprise software to many of the world's largest and most successful businesses, achieved revenue for the 2002 American fiscal year of $US9.7 billion. Through this expansion, Oracle Corporation Australia Pty Ltd has created 20 new jobs for software developers. The development centre has also finalised its first contribution of locally developed software to the Oracle E-Business Suite, which is a complete set of business applications that runs entirely on the Internet and is being used by more than 2,000 clients worldwide as of the end of Oracle's financial year 2002. Mr Speaker, to save time I seek leave to include the rest of the ministerial statement in Hansard. Leave granted. Software developed at The Centre will focus on the financial component of The Oracle E-Business Suite. The State Government has been a strong supporter of Oracle's Brisbane Software Development Centre and we are delighted to see it create more jobs for Queenslanders. The export of locally developed software is another example of the outstanding IT developments within our 'Smart State'. It was only two years ago during a trade mission to the USA that I announced Oracle was to establish the centre in Brisbane.

    The Things They Carried By Tim O’Brien The Things They Carried First Lieutenant Jimmy Cross carried letters from a girl named Martha, a junior at Mount Sebastian College in New Jersey. They were not love letters, but Lieutenant Cross was hoping, so he kept them folded in plastic at the bottom of his rucksack. In the late afternoon, after a day's march, he would dig his foxhole, wash his hands under a canteen, unwrap the letters, hold them with the tips of his fingers, and spend the last hour of light pretending. He would imagine romantic camping trips into the White Mountains in New Hampshire. He would sometimes taste the envelope flaps, knowing her tongue had been there. More than anything, he wanted Martha to love him as he loved her, but the letters were mostly chatty, elusive on the matter of love. She was a virgin, he was almost sure. She was an English major at Mount Sebastian, and she wrote beautifully about her professors and roommates and midterm exams, about her respect for Chaucer and her great affection for Virginia Woolf. She often quoted lines of poetry; she never mentioned the war, except to say, Jimmy, take care of yourself. The letters weighed 10 ounces. They were signed Love, Martha, but Lieutenant Cross understood that Love was only a way of signing and did not mean what he sometimes pretended it meant. At dusk, he would carefully return the letters to his rucksack. Slowly, a bit distracted, he would get up and move among his men, checking the perimeter, then at full dark he would return to his hole and watch the night and wonder if Martha was a virgin.

  • Tomorrow's World
    TOMORROW’S WORLD 1 15 SHORT STORIES 2 TOMORROW’S WORLD FIFTEEN SHORT STORIES 3 4 INTRODUCTION Les quinze nouvelles qui composent ce recueil ont été écrites par des élèves de troisième des trois lycées français d'Italie : le Lycée Chateaubriand de Rome, le Lycée Stendhal de Milan et le Lycée français Jean Giono de Turin. Elles ont été sélectionnées par leurs enseignants d'anglais. Le 23 mai 2008, au siège de la FAO, un jury composé d'experts en a distingué et primé cinq. A cette occasion, les lauréats ont pu lire, devant l'auditoire, tout ou partie de leur oeuvre. Il s'agissait pour les élèves d'écrire en classe une nouvelle de science fiction de type écologique d'environ 1500 mots, décrivant le monde de demain et portant sur des thèmes tels que : l'eau, l'alimentation, l'énergie, les épidémies et pandémies, les changements climatiques et la population. Tout au long de l'année, ils ont été entraînés par leurs professeurs tour à tour à la compréhension de l'écrit et à l'expression écrite, à travers la nouvelle, la science fiction, ainsi que les thèmes écologiques. Ils ont eu recours à un large éventail de supports : des textes mais aussi des affiches, des films, des documentaires. Les nouvelles qui sont proposées ici sont donc l'aboutissement d'une démarche actionnelle qui aura duré la plus belle partie d'une année scolaire. Une année de labeur parfois ingrat (ah, l'angoisse devant la page blanche !) mais aussi de plaisir, comme en témoigne un sondage réalisé auprès des écrivains en herbe.
