I have previously responded to you on this matter in my letter of 10 July 2003. The information provided in that letter remains current. If you need to discuss this issue further, please call Mr Terry Hill, the Department of Main Roads' district director in Rockhampton, on 4931 1501. Yours sincerely (Original signed by Minister) Steve Bredhauer Minister for Transport and Minister for Main Roads Member for Cook MINISTERIAL STATEMENT UNiTAB Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.31 a.m.): I would like to advise the House that later today or tomorrow I will be making a statement in relation to UNiTAB, but I am not in a position to do that at this point in time. 4092 Ministerial Statement 15 Oct 2003 MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Refugee Week Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.32 a.m.): Refugees have made a vital contribution to the development of Queensland's vibrant multicultural society. We will have an opportunity to focus on this contribution from 20 October to 26 October during Refugee Week. At a time when the world is plagued by conflict, we need to be reminded of the everyday difficulties faced by refugees who are forced from their homes as a result of persecution or the threat of violence. The government will be involved in a number of Refugee Week activities. AUSTCARE will manage and sponsor this important week with state government funding assistance of $8,000 under the Multicultural Assistance Program. There will be a wide range of community group events throughout Queensland so everyone has an opportunity to get involved. Today, my parliamentary secretary, Darryl Briskey, will host an afternoon tea in the Speaker's courtyard for a number of refugees who have settled in Queensland. Education Queensland has facilitated a student competition for short stories, poems, banners, postcards and T-shirts. There is also an exhibition of photographs and artwork by and about refugees currently on display in the foyer of the Executive Building. These photos and paintings demonstrate the nature of the difficulties that are endured by refugees. They also depict the strength of the human spirit, showing refugees overcoming their experiences and settling successfully in their new country. This government is committed to helping refugees rebuild their lives. I will spell out how we have done that. I seek to incorporate that in Hansard for the information of all members. Leave granted. On 27 November 2000, the Government noted the significant humanitarian issues associated with the arrival of refugees holding Temporary Protection Visas in Queensland and decided that Queensland Government agencies should provide the same level of services to refugees with Temporary Protection Visas as refugees holding Permanent Protection Visas. Currently, services funded by the State Government available to refugees include: • rental bond loans; • access to public housing; • support to access the private rental market; • access to state schools for children at no cost; • English as a Second Language tuition for children in school; • employment programs run by the Department of Employment and Training; • English Language tuition through TAFE Colleges; and • all full-fee vocational courses, subject to availability. Since 2000, the Government has supported a number of initiatives of benefit to these refugees. Funding was allocated to three projects through my Department's Multicultural Assistance Program, to provide settlement assistance and training activities. Queensland Health also provides support to people who hold Temporary Protection Visas. The Queensland Integrated Community Health Clinic was officially opened in October 2002, using the Mater Hospital as a base. The clinic provides primary health care services to humanitarian entrants and asylum seekers with complex health needs. The Logan-Beaudesert Health Service District has also finalised a project to build strong partnerships between people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, general practitioners and the Health Service District. The Department of Families has a case management role in the care of unaccompanied refugee children and young people, and provides funding to Mercy Family Services to provide the day-to-day casework for these children and young people. Greenslopes State School runs an English as a Second Language program, consisting of a full time teacher and two bilingual teacher aides for newly arrived refugee students. An Arts Therapist has also been employed to assist students in working through a process of recovery. The school collaborates with Queensland Program of Assistance to Survivors of Torture and Trauma on these projects. The Refugee Student Support Program at Greenslopes State School has hosted visitors from other countries studying best practice programs. A Guide to the Role of Police in Australia was launched in June 2003 to explain the role of police in Australia to prospective and newly-arrived migrants, refugees and tourists. 15 Oct 2003 Ministerial Statement 4093 The Guide, produced both as a booklet and a CD Rom, is available in eight languages. This Government supports the aims of Refugee Week and I encourage all Queenslanders to extend the hand of friendship to those refugees who are living in our community and make them feel welcome. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Mining Services Industry Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.33 a.m.): I want to congratulate 13 Queensland companies for joining a delegation of Queensland mining equipment and services providers, which leaves for China on 24 October. The aim of the mission, a joint initiative of the Queensland Department of State Development and Austrade, is to explore new export opportunities which have resulted from increased commercial activity in the People's Republic of China. Queensland is being increasingly recognised as a world-class supplier of mining equipment and services so as commercial activity in China increases it becomes an attractive export prospect. This group is the first of its kind in terms of bringing together companies from the mining services industry that have limited experience with exporting. Nine coalmining equipment manufacturers from the Mackay area industry network—MAIN—and firms from other areas of Queensland will be participating in the mission. Some of the newest, most innovative and competitive companies providing engineering services to the Australian coal industry are located in the Mackay area. The focus of the mission for participants from central Queensland will not only be to promote individual expertise but the capability and capacity of the mining and engineering service cluster as a whole. The Queensland government's Trade and Investment Commissioner from Shanghai, Zijian Zhang, will be visiting the Mackay region and will brief the central Queensland mission participants at a meeting today, 15 October. The delegation will attend the China Coal and Mining Trade Show in Beijing and visit coalmines in remote parts of China. The companies are: Anderson Industries (Qld) Pty Ltd, Australian Bearings Corporation Pty Ltd, Elgin Mining Equipment Pty Ltd, G&S Engineering Services Pty Ltd, JSIS Engineering Pty Ltd, Longwall Associates Australia Pty Ltd, Magnum Industries Pty Ltd, Monduran Pty Ltd, Central Queensland Institute of TAFE, ComEnergy (Brisbane), Mincom Ltd (Brisbane), Rylson Group (Brisbane), and SIMTARS (Brisbane). MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Goodwill Bridge Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.35 a.m.): I am delighted to learn that the Queensland Heritage Council has nominated the Goodwill Bridge for heritage listing. The bridge will be two years old next Tuesday, 21 October, and I cannot think of a more fitting way to mark its birthday. Heritage is not just about old things and it is flattering that an independent body has chosen to make this move, particularly considering the flak that I and my government have worn over the Goodwill Bridge. There is no doubt Brisbane residents and visitors alike have taken to the bridge with enthusiasm with more than 60,000 people walking and cycling across it each week.

  • RACQ Ipswich Motorway Policy Analysis
    Policy Analysis 9/05 Economic & Public Policy Ipswich Motorway Introduction The Ipswich Motorway is a vital link between Brisbane and Ipswich. It connects Ipswich and Granard Roads at Rocklea to the Warrego and Cunningham Highways and Brisbane Road at Dinmore. For many years, it formed part of the National Highway System (NHS), which was a Commonwealth Government funding responsibility. Since the release of the Commonwealth’s AusLink land transport policy in June 2004, the Ipswich Motorway has been part of a broader National Network. The AusLink policy decreed that the states must share costs of the National Network, particularly in urban areas. The Ipswich Motorway is one of Queensland’s most congested roads, with stop-start conditions during morning and afternoon peak periods. It also has one of the highest vehicle accident rates in Queensland. Yet, the upgrading of this hopelessly inadequate and dangerous road has been subjected to extraordinary delays because of political bickering and dithering. This document summarises the history of recent proposals to upgrade the Ipswich Motorway, analyses Commonwealth and State Government policies regarding the road, and outlines RACQ’s position. Background The Ipswich Motorway upgrade project has been dogged by delays, conflict between governments, and political manoeuvring. In the meantime, road trauma and congestion continue to worsen on this very sub-standard stretch of the National Network. The following brief chronology highlights key events in this sad, sorry saga. 1997 The Integrated Regional Transport Plan for South East Queensland, which was released in 1997, proposed commencement in 1997-98 of a major investigation in respect of an Ipswich Motorway upgrade.

  • Calling out the Military: a Theoretical and Jurisprudential Justification of the Expansion of Domestic Military Powers Anasuya Datta
    CALLING OUT THE MILITARY: A THEORETICAL AND JURISPRUDENTIAL JUSTIFICATION OF THE EXPANSION OF DOMESTIC MILITARY POWERS ANASUYA DATTA I INTRODUCTION Historically, military involvement in domestic affairs was associated with authoritarianism and military dictatorships.1 Since the 1688 Glorious Revolution, British political culture has been hostile towards domestic military deployments, due to parliamentary supremacy ensuring that power rested with Parliament, not the Executive’s discretion alone.2 The absence of using military forces domestically was considered fundamental to liberal democracy.3 However, there are tensions between this and the state’s responsibility to protect its citizens in emergencies. In Australia, Part IIIAAA of the Defence Act 1903 (Cth) (‘Defence Act’) regulates military call-outs, permitting military involvement in aid of civil power and law enforcement.4 After the 2014 Lindt Café siege, the government was criticised for not calling out the Australian Defence Force (ADF), despite its terrorist nature5 which put the ADF on notice for a potential call-out.6 The New South Wales Police did not declare the event beyond their capabilities, thus not warranting ADF call-out. Arguably the ADF should have been called out to resolve the situation due to its expertise in armed conflict and its aggressive approach which better suits counter-terrorism.7 Since then, the Defence Department has considered reforming Part IIIAAA to facilitate faster anti-terror responses.8 Conversely, Part IIIAAA has been criticised as an overstepping of state power through broad and extensive powers9 in allowing military involvement domestically. Despite criticisms, the unforeseen nature of terrorism requires greater state power to protect.

Voice, Power and Modernity Bruce Johnson It has been argued that sound is one of the oldest ways of defining, encroaching on and enlarging territorial space, of manifesting power. From the war cries of the ancients, to the howling of the urban mob, one of these sounds has been the human voice. Until the late nineteenth century, however, the radius of vocalised space was limited by the body. From the 1870s, for the first time in human history, this dynamic was utterly transformed by the invention of the sound recording and subsequent related technologies. These technologies permitted a spatial increase that has ultimately become global and, through sound storage systems, a temporal enlargement. The small voice, the local voice, the domestic voice, all clamour for transnational public space, yet they can also be turned against their source through various sound-mixing technologies. With reference to case studies, this chapter will signpost the ambiguous relationship between the voice and power in the modern era. *** So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.
