PAPERS MINISTERIAL PAPER The following ministerial paper was tabled— Hon. R. J. Welford (Attorney-General and Minister for Justice)— Queensland Law Reform Commission— Report No. 55 Part 2—The Receipt of Evidence by Queensland Courts: The Evidence of Children and Part 2A—Summary of Recommendations. NOTICE OF MOTION Members of Parliament, Ethical Standards Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.33 a.m.): I give notice that I will move— That this House adopt the Statement of Fundamental Principles, contained in Part 2 of the proposed Code of Ethical Standards for Members of the Queensland Legislative Assembly, and recommended by the Members' Ethics and Parliamentary Privileges Committee in its report tabled last year. The Statement of Fundamental Principles is consistent with my Government's commitment to constitutional reform, good government and ethical conduct, and consists of the following six important principles— 1. Integrity of the Parliament The public's confidence in the institution of Parliament is essential. Members are to strive at all times to conduct themselves in a manner which will tend to maintain and strengthen the public's trust and confidence in the integrity of Parliament and avoid any action which may diminish its standing, authority or dignity. 2. Primacy of the public interest Members are elected to act in the public interest and make decisions solely in terms of the public interest. Members also have a continuing duty to declare any private interests relating to their public duties as they arise, and to take steps to avoid, resolve or disclose any conflicts arising in a way that protects the public interest. 352 Ministerial Statement 5 Apr 2001 3. Independence of action Parliamentary democracy requires that members make decisions, and be seen to make decisions, in accordance with the public interest and not because they are under any financial obligation or influence. Therefore, members are not to place themselves under any financial obligation to outside individuals or organisations, including the executive government, that might influence them in the discharge of their duties and responsibilities, and must act at all times in accordance with rules set down by the Parliament for outside appointments. 4. Appropriate use of information In the course of their duties members often receive information which is either confidential or prized (that is, not available to the general public). Members are not to misuse any confidential or prized information, particularly for personal gain. 5. Transparency and scrutiny It is vital to parliamentary democracy that the public has confidence in the integrity of the decision–making process of Parliament. To ensure transparency, public scrutiny and public confidence, it is necessary that each member disclose their pecuniary interests on a continuing and ad hoc basis when the need arises. 6. Appropriate use of entitlements Members are provided certain entitlements to assist them to discharge their duties and responsibilities. Members are to ensure that they comply with any guidelines for the use of these entitlements. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Roma Street Parkland Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.36 a.m.), by leave: There is a big day of celebration planned for Brisbane tomorrow when stage 1 of the $72 million Roma Street Parkland is officially opened by the Minister for Public Works and me. It is an event that I am eagerly looking forward to, because this project has turned a virtual wasteland into the heart and lungs of Brisbane. This has been a tremendous project that has transformed the old railway yards into a beautiful people's place that will be an irresistible magnet to local residents and which will put us on the map internationally. It has been a big project which, at its peak late last year, employed 250 people. Their efforts have created a truly unique asset for present and future generations of Queenslanders. The state government has spent $72 million to develop the Roma Street Parkland on 16 hectares covering the former rail yards and the existing Albert Park in Brisbane's CBD. I urge all members to get out and see the parkland for themselves. It features a spectacular garden containing displays of subtropical foliage and flowers, a massive water wall and other water features and a one hectare lake. There is also a 250 metre pedestrian bridge linking the parkland with the CBD via Albert Street and an activity precinct with provision for a market plaza, as well as future retail and food outlets. Other features include a lookout and bridge crossing the fern gully, a boardwalk linking the Spectacle Garden and Parkland Boulevard and provision for a pedestrian bridge linking the parkland to Petrie Terrace. The Roma Street Parkland is being developed in partnership with the Brisbane City Council by the state government. To give the House some idea of the scope of this project, the transformation of the Roma Street Parkland site has involved the shifting of enough soil to cover the Gabba cricket ground to a height of two metres. This parkland is the largest subtropical garden in a city centre anywhere in the world. Workers have planted 1,200 mature trees, 100,000 shrubs, 1,800 unique species such as grass trees, staghorn and elkhorn, and 350 palms. Close to 300 Queenslanders nominated a name for the new parkland, with Roma Street Parkland or variations being the most popular. Wherever one lives, they can 'virtually' visit a special Roma Street Parkland through a web site—www.romastreetparkland.com— which features a tour of the parkland and an interactive model of the project. The Roma Street Parkland will be officially opened at 10 a.m. tomorrow by the minister and me. On Friday night there will be a concert at the parkland which will feature people such as Christine Anu and George, a local band. This is proof we are delivering on our commitments. For years governments dithered over the redevelopment of the Roma Street Parkland. This government delivered. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Goodwill Games Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.39 a.m.), by leave: Queensland has an enviable and much-deserved reputation for staging big events. The 5 Apr 2001 Ministerial Statement 353 Commonwealth Games in 1982 are still talked about as one of the best and friendliest games ever. World Expo in 1988 was another triumph for the state, and now we are lining up to do it all again with the Goodwill Games in 2001. Indeed, later on this year Queensland and Brisbane will host CHOGM. It is clear that both the Queensland and Australian business communities have great faith in our ability to stage such major events. Yesterday as Premier I represented Queensland at a special event, the 2001 Goodwill Games combined sponsors launch. It was clear from both the number and the quality of sponsors in 2001 Team Goodwill, the collective name given to sponsors of this major international sporting festival, that business is anticipating another Queensland success. They in turn help to make the games successful, because these companies' promotional support of the Goodwill Games will bring greater exposure to Queensland as a major international destination, whether it be for a holiday or for a major event. I have to say: I am impressed by the diverse range of Queensland and national companies sponsoring the games. Their support offers an array of markets for promoting the Goodwill Games, which will translate to further promotion of Brisbane and Queensland, nationally and internationally, in an unprecedented way. With the Goodwill Games set to be broadcast to millions of households around the world, the international exposure for Brisbane will be enormous. In fact, 450 million households worldwide will be able to see the Goodwill Games. Queensland has never before had that level of exposure. From 29 August to 9 September the Goodwill Games will bring more than 1,300 athletes to Brisbane for 12 days of spectacular sporting action across 14 sports. The games will generate 18,000 bed nights in 16 Brisbane hotels. They will create 2,000 jobs and pump $170 million into the local economy. As I said, they will be beamed to 450 million households worldwide.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    6. The oppositional parties in the Parliament, 1957–1968 Parliamentary opposition to the Nicklin government came from a host of diverse players in the decade between August 1957 and January 1968. Especially after the Labor split of 1957, opponents of the Coalition government were a dispirited and dishevelled band, most of whom appeared as individualistic dissidents. Each had their own particular fights to fight and wars to wage. Each had different enemies in sight. Labor’s Jack Duggan and the QLP’s Ted Walsh never spoke to each other again privately after the split, despite afterwards sitting together in the Assembly for more than a decade, and frequently interjecting against each other. Adversarialism was not only a matter of formal battlelines drawn across the Chamber. Indeed, some of the most intense acrimony was found within the oppositional groups among remaining members who survived the 1957 split. If occasional internal conflicts simmered through the government side of politics, they at least demonstrated the capacity to remain in office while enjoying the comforts and trappings of power. The circumstance of being in government was sufficient to instil a collective solidarity between the Coalition parties, which was evident most strongly in the ministry. In contrast, the oppositional members were far more fragmented and querulous. They demonstrated little prospect of ever forming a single cohesive opposition. Indeed, after only one term in government, the Liberals were describing Labor as the weakest opposition in Queensland’s political history. Only towards the mid-1960s did the Labor opposition gradually develop any coherence and commitment of purpose.

  • The Ayes Have It: the History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    7. The Pizzey–Chalk interlude, 1968 With the retirement of Frank Nicklin as Premier in January 1968, the Queensland Parliament entered a period of turbulence and uncertainty. Nicklin had been the leader of the Country Party continuously since June 1941, accumulating a total of 26.5 years at the helm. He had been Premier for 10.5 years and had governed the state competently and conscientiously. He had stamped his own personal integrity and probity on the character of the government and had quietly maintained a guiding hand over the cabinet and party room. In the Parliament, he was uniformly held in high regard not only by his own Country Party colleagues but by his Coalition partners and members of the opposition. He had maintained a sense of decency in the Assembly that was recognised by friend and foe alike. At the time of his retirement, Nicklin had attained many parliamentary achievements, not the least of which was the general acceptance of the Coalition parties as the natural parties of government. He had also, perhaps more conscientiously, sustained the Country Party as the dominant party in the Coalition despite consistently polling fewer votes than the largely urban-based Liberal Party. Nicklin’s retirement at seventy-two years of age was not exactly a surprise; it had been expected for some time. His health and energy were waning and he had spent some weeks in hospital during the final months of his record- breaking premiership. It was widely believed that Nicklin had hung on to the job for so long simply to beat the previous record of Labor’s Forgan Smith as the longest-serving premier (Forgan Smith had served 10 years and three months).

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    9. The slide towards uncertainty, 1969–1972 The Parliament resumed after a break of seven and a half months—a relatively long intermission but by no means unusual in those days. When an election was due in the new year (from March to June), it was common practice for the Parliament to adjourn in late November or early December (before Christmas) and to not reconvene for another six to eight months. This was the pattern followed throughout the 1940s to the mid-1950s and again from 1962 to 1972. The thirty-ninth Parliament would run from 5 August 1969 to 10 December 1971 (202 sitting days in the three-year term or 67 days a year) and not meet again before the May 1972 election. It was the last Parliament to meet with 78 members and, for the first time since winning government, the Coalition governed with a reduced majority. Under Nicklin, the Coalition’s majority had risen from nine in 1957 to 10 in 1960, to 14 in 1963 and 16 in 1966, but fell back to just 12 after the 1969 election—Bjelke-Petersen’s first electoral test as leader. With the benefit of hindsight, it is clear the 1969–72 Parliament was to become Labor’s high-water mark in its period in opposition, when for a few years it posed a credible challenge to the government. It was also a period when the Premier was at his most vulnerable politically—a condition deeply troubling to his own party colleagues, who would eventually be incited to rebel against his leadership.

  • Margaret Keech
    Speech by MARGARET KEECH MEMBER FOR ALBERT Hansard 5 April 2001 FIRST SPEECH Ms KEECH (Albert—ALP) (2.30 p.m.): I am honoured to speak in this House for the first time as the member for Albert, the first woman ever to do so. In standing here today, I acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which this House of the Queensland people stands. I also respectfully acknowledge the traditional owners and the present indigenous people who call the electorate of Albert home. The magnificent win by Peter Beattie's Labor team nearly seven weeks ago was not only a victory for the Australian Labor Party but also a celebration of strong leadership, unity and integrity. Labor's policy priorities of jobs, health and education are the very same priorities of the working families in my electorate. The people of Albert—and most of them are present in the public gallery today—recognised the fact that Labor has delivered in the area and as a result registered a two-party preferred vote to Labor of 63 per cent. This is even more historic when, for the first time in 114 years, Labor won every booth on primary votes. I say this to the people of Albert: thank you for the trust you have bestowed in me and the Beattie Labor government. I will repay your trust by working hard every day and every night and by giving you a strong voice in government. I place on record my thanks to Cameron Milner, who was my initial organiser but later went on to become the ALP State Secretary and director of the successful election campaign.
