  • Opening Address
    Opening address Andrew Laming MP1 1Federal Member for Bowman, Shadow Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Health Services and Indigenous Health Thanks Leigh for kicking off Plenary One ‘Shaping a Bright Rural Future’—I hope as a warm-up act, Jack Snelling and I do ok. Thanks to this year’s conference convenor Marie Lally, to your Conference Advisory committee and the Organising group. And of course the Tutti Choir for your inspiring intro. Distinguished guests, Jack, South Australian Senator David Fawcett, to Australian professional Colleges, most notably ACRRM, NACCHO and AIDA and RACGP, to AGPN, ANF, Allied Health networks, the RFDS; the physios, the psychs and the physios, the Chiros, Pharmacists the Optoms, the Ambos and paramedics, the Rural nurses, Doctors, Dentists, students and health researchers, to the Australian Health and Hospital Association, CRANAPlus, the CWA, Catholic Health Australia, ICPA, the health consumer groups, Rural HWorkforce, and RH Education Foundation, to the health consulting firms, private sector providers. What a perfect weekend in Australia’s most understated capital city, we are celebrating the work of rural, remote and Aboriginal health professionals. For many of you, rural health’s watershed moment was 1991. Many here today recall the Toowoomba Conference when ‘modern’ rural health was born. You’d agree it provided the foundation for what has been two-decades of uninterrupted advance in the status of (and investment in) rural, remote and Aboriginal health. Much of that momentum creation can be traced back to the AHMAC Rural Health Taskforce AND the Rural Health Support E&T program. Given this is a two yearly event this 11th meeting is as close as it gets to a 21st birthday for rural health.

Home> Fletcher> Interviews> 2016 > Transcript-612 ABC Brisbane Mornings with Steve Austi n Transcript-612 ABC Brisbane Mornings with Steve Austin INTfHVllW I ' ! J , IL (I I (I ?(JI C1 Steve Austin: Queensland's Main Roads Minister Mark Bai ley sought a meeting with Federa l counterpart Pau l Fletcher and other parties over the M1 upgrade at the Gateway merge. You 'd know that money was promised prior to the federal election; the state would like more. Mark Bailey got the meeting, came out of Sydney meeting yesterday saying his federal counterpart is -quote-ripping off Queenslanders, unquote. Well I'll speak with Mark Bailey in a moment, who's still in Sydney, but the Federal Minister for Urban Infrastructure Paul Fletcher was there. I spoke to him early this morning and asked him what they agreed at the meeting. [Excerpt] Paul Fletcher: First of all I made the point that the Commonwealth is ready to put its money forward earlier if that assists the Queensland Government to come up with its 50 per cent share and provide that at a later stage of the project. Steve Austin: So you're prepared to get the project going now? Paul Fletcher: Well we're ready to make our money avai lable now. The 50 per cent funding we've provided, we're ready to provide that cash as soon as possible. The second thing that I asked Minister Bailey to do, and I believe we've reached agreement on this is for t he Queensland Government to go out to construction companies and get from them firm prices as to what they will cha rge, and expressions of interest or a tender process.
