Legislative Assembly Hansard 1982 Queensland Parliamentary Debates [Hansard] Legislative Assembly WEDNESDAY, 15 SEPTEMBER 1982 Electronic reproduction of original hardcopy 878 IS September 1982 Personal Bxplanatioiu WEDNESDAY, 15 SEPTEMBER 1982 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. S. J. Muller, Fassifern) read prayers and took the chair at 11 a.m. PAPERS The foUowing papers were laid on the table— Regulations under^- State Transport Act 1960-1981 Motor Vehicle Driving Instruction School Act 1969 Traffic Act 1949-1982 Motor Vehicles Control Act 1975 Tow-tmck Act 1973 Order in Council under the Metropolitan Transit Authority Act 1976-1979 and the Local Bodies' Loans Guarantee Act 1923-1979 By-laws under the Education Act 1964-1974 PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS Hon. C. A. WHARTON (Burnett—Minister for Works and Housing) (11.1 a.m.), by leave: Yesterday in this House I answered a number of questions from the member for Chatsworth (Mr Mackenroth). Those questions dealt with the application of the new rental assessment scheme to various tenancies. In answering the questions, I misunderstood one question and therefore gave an incorrect answer. The answer I gave to another question may also have been misunderstood, so I take this opportunity to clarify the matter. Mr Mackenroth asked, in general, if the new scheme would be applied to people such as pubUc servants and employees of mining companies who are renting housing provided through the Housing Commission. The answer is that they will not be affected by the new scheme unless they are direct tenants of the Housing Commission, and the vast majority of them are not. The vast majority of those people are living in _ employer tenancy buildings, buildings provided under a separate and quite distinct scheme from that of welfare housing. All of the 6 165 houses mentioned by Mr Mackenroth yesterday are employer tenancy housing and will not be affected by the new rental assessment scheme. Mr BORBIDGE (Surfers Paradise) (11.3 a.m.), by leave: In the "Gold Coast Bulletin" today, under the headline "M.P. using seminar to bring in cash", the secretary of the South Coast Trades and Labor CouncU, Mr Harold Evans, has made certain allegations concerning my involvement in a National Party sponsored seminar on penalty rates in the tourist industry to be held this Friday. Mr Evans has claimed that the seminar has been orchestrated to raise money for National Party fund-raising, by way of a charge of $12. The $12 charge is solely for catering purposes and not one cent wUl be going to the Surfers Paradise election fund. Mr YEWDALE: I rise to a point of order. My interpretation of the comments made by the honourable member is that nothing has been said to suggest that he i» involved, as an individual. To my mind a personal explanation is not in order in the way the honourable member is putting this matter forward. Mr SPEAKER: Order! I will aUow the honourable member for Surfers Paradise to continue. Mr BORBIDGE: Anyone, including Mr Evans, is welcome to attend the scmmar without charge, if he does not wish to participate in the luncheon and catering arrangements. I regret that Mr Evans has again sought to mislead the public on anissue of vital importance to the very people he claims to represent. I completely reject his allegations as deliberate and blatent misrepresentation. ,.. -•.:..••• Questions Upon Notice 15 September 1982 879 PETITIONS The Oerk announced the receipyt of the following petitions— Subsidy on Domestic Electricity Charges From Mr Bums (130 signatories) pyraying that the Parliament of Queensland will ensure that pyensioners and low-income earners are given a subsidy on domestic electricity charges. State Service Superannuation Scheme From Mrs Nelson (1 000 signatories) praying that the ParUament of (Queensland will remove all discrimination from the State Service Superannuation Scheme. Compyensation to Police Officers Injured on Duty From Mr Hooper (863 signatories) praying that the Parliament of Queensland wUl legislate to provide for compensation to police officers injured on duty. Lump Sum Payment to PoUce Sergeant F. Richards From Mr Hooper (854 signatories) pyraying that the Parliament of Queensland wUl ensure a lump sum payment be made to Police Sergeant F. Richards injured in the course of his duty. Pethions received. QUESTIONS UPON NOTICE Questions submitted on notice by members were answered as foUows:— 1. Use of Mercantile Acts for Tax Avoidance Mr Casey asked the Minister for Justice and Attomey-General— With reference to my previous question to him regarding the use of the Mercantile Acts of Queensland for tax avoidance— (1) Is he aware that the promoters of some of these schemes which use the 115 year old Mercantile Acts of (Queensland, promote such things as chestnut-growing in Victoria, the hire of an aircraft anywhere in Australia, thoroughbred syndication on a Hunter River stud in New South Wales and mango-growing in the Northem Territory? (2) As, almost without exception, the promoters of the limited partnership schemes devised under the Mercantile Acts are solicitors, accountants or company directors living in southern States who use Queensland legislation to promote business enterprise in the other States, has the Corporate Affairs Office ever given him any report regarding the conduct and operation of these partnerships, or has he sought any report from them regarding these matters? (3) If so, wiU he table these reports in ParUament or make them avaUable on a confidential basis to the Opposition spokesman for Justice with a statement indicating the action he has taken, if any, to prevent the misuse of these out-of-date Queensland laws? Answer:— (1) I am advised that there are Umited partnershipys registered in the office of the Registrar of Titles, the nature of business of which includes those mentioned by the honourable Leader of the Opposition. However, in most cases the specific location of the operation of the business is not shown. (2 & 3) I understand that officers from the Australian Taxation Office regularly inspect aU documents lodged for registration, wUh the full co-operation of the Titles Office. As the collection of taxes is a matter for the Australian Taxation Office, no doubt any necessary direct action would be a matter for that <^ce. To date, the activities in respect of the regular inspyections have not led to any specific requirement for investigations to be carried out by the Office of the Commissioner for Corporate Affain. 880 15 September 1982 QHestions Upon J^cjticf However, as I have previously stated in this House, I am currently awaiting receipt of a report from the Law Reform Commission concerning the Mercantile Acts. The contents of that report wUl provide a basis for any further action that may be considered desirable. At that time I will be in a position to advise the honourable Leader of the Opposition in greater detail. Tax Payable by Iwasaki Sangyo Co. (Aust.) Pty Ltd Mr Casey asked the Minister for Justice and Attorriey-Gieheral— (1) Is he aware that the annual retums lodged whh the Corporate Affairs Office of the Iwasaki Sangyo Co. (Aust.) Pty Ltd, whose registered office is the 17th floor of the T & G Building, Queen and Albert Streets, Brisbane, clearly showed that, since its formation, this company has paid no tax in Australia despite the fact that shareholders' capital lodged for investment in Australia has been earning a huge interest sum each year? (2) Is he also aware that the company is currently in dispute with the Common­ wealth Taxation Department for the amount of $368,000 which they claim is due and payable for income tax in 1979 and subsequent years? (3) As this means that substantial additional income is due to Queensland from this venture under the tax-sharing arrangements whh the Commonwealth, what actioh can the Corporate Affairs Office take to expedite this matter? Answer:— (1 to 3) The audited accounts of Iwasaki Sangyo Co. (Aust.) Pty Ltd as at 30 June 1981 have 'been lodged with the Office of the Commissioner for Corporate Affairs. In Note 3 to those accounts reference is made to taxation matters. This document is a matter of pubUc record and is avaUable for inspection: at the Office of. the Commissioner for Corporate Affairs. However, from information supplied to me it is my understanding that the company is in dispute with the Australian Taxation Office over the matter of a refund of tax already paid. In any event, the Leader of the Opposition should exercise a much greater degree of tolerance in regard to taxation matters in view of his own experience of difficulty in business affairs in the past. Penalty for Illegal Parking in Bus-stopys Mr Prentice asked the Minister for Transport— Has the Govemment refused to aUow the requested increase in the penalty for illegal pyarking in bus-stops and, if so, what is the reason for such refusal? Answer:— The penalty for illegal parking in a bus-stop was increased by 100 per cent on 1 November 1980 from $5 to $10. Applications have been received from the Lord Mayor of Brisbane, the Right Honourable W. C. R. Harvey, seeking a further amendment to the Traffic Regulations to provide for a penalty of $20. Any amendment to the Traffic Regulations as they presently stand increasing the penalty for illegal parking in a bus-stop wouW have repercussive effects throughout aU local authority traffic areas and geiieraliy throughout the State. I have also received representations from othei- local authorities aiul the CjtjM and Towns Local Government Association Queensland seeking to impose lesser penalties than a maximum prescribed in the Traffic Regulations. The whole question of parking penalties, both in traffic areas and seneraUyf currently under review, and a decision will be made when my inquiries are oomp'e'^' d^stion^'tjpon NbtiiCe tS SeptembeF: 1982 881' 4.

It contains a substantial masonry industrial complex with considerable landmark and iconic values. The Milton brewery includes two highly visible neon signs (‘XXXX’ and ‘Mr Fourex’) and dominates the townscape of Milton and the surrounding area. The iconic value of these elements is reinforced by the depiction of the present Milton Road buildings on the labels of the brewery’s products and in their advertising. The business and location are firmly linked to perceptions of the city’s and state’s identity. The building containing the brewing tower, designed by architects, Addison and Macdonald, has architectural significance as a good example of the Interwar Functionalist style. The extent of the listing boundary includes the building envelope of the 1940s brick building on Milton Road and the adjacent 1950s brick building extending to the western boundary, the 1919 flywheel and the XXXX and Mr Fourex neon signs.
