Legislative Assembly Hansard 1984 Queensland Parliamentary Debates [Hansard] Legislative Assembly THURSDAY, 1 NOVEMBER 1984 Electronic reproduction of original hardcopy Motion of Condolence 1 November 1984 2111 THURSDAY, 1 NOVEMBER 1984 Mr SPEAKER (Hon J. H. Waraer, Toowoomba South) read prayers and took the chair at 11 a.m. GOVERNMENT AIR WING Return to Order The following paper was laid on the table— Retura to an Order made by the House on 28 August, on the motion of Mr Stephan, in relation to the operation of the Goverament Air Wing during the year 1 July 1983 to 30 June 1984, showing— (1) Total number of aircraft assigned to the Air Wing; (2) Total flying time; (3) Total number of passengers carried; (4) Names of all Ministers who traveUed on any of the aircraft. MOTION OF CONDOLENCE Death of Hon. T. G. Newbery Hon. Sir JOH BJELKE-PETERSEN (Barambah—Premier and Treasurer) (11.2 a.m.), by leave, without notice: I move— "(1) That this House desires to place on record its appreciation of the services rendered to this State by the late Honourable Thomas Guy Newbery, a former member of the Parliament of Queensland and Minister of the Crown. (2) That Mr Speaker be requested to convey to the widow and family of the deceased gentleman the above resolution, together with an expression of the sympathy and sorrow of the members of the Parliament of Queensland, in the loss they have sustained." Thomas Guy Newbery was an honoured member of this House and a valued friend to many, not only in his former electorate of Mirani, but throughout the country. Besides being a political colleague, Tom Newbery was a personal friend, a man I respected greatly. To me he was a dear and trusted friend and I was deeply saddened by his passing. Our friendship goes back a long way, beyond the political arena. We were associated in business together in the early days. Throughout that association and through his political career I always found Tom to be a man one could rely on and trust. There is a saying, "Good men lift up all those who live in their time." Tom Newbery was such a man. Much of his life was devoted to the service of the community, and he gave his time unselfishly and in great volumes for the progress of the Sarina/Mackay region and later, as a Minister of the Crown, of Queensland as a whole. He had many achievements but perhaps the most satisfying for him—and the most unheralded in the public sense—was his work in the Police portfolio. He took over the job at a most difficult time. Morale in the force was at an all-time low. There was almost universal dissatisfaction among the force with the then commissioner, and that was being reflected in work output and a high number of resignations of experienced officers. As Minister he toured the State doing what he did best—meeting local residents and police and talking to them first-hand about their working conditions and problems 2112 1 November 1984 Motion of Condolence with the administration. He sought and received Cabinet approval for funds for housing and office improvements. He presided over a series of administrative changes, including the professional stmcturing of the police Public Relations Branch, all of which was soon reflected in a substantial lift in police morale, which reached its highest level for many years. Intakes at the Police Academy doubled, resignations of senior officers decreased and the force built up to its full approved strength after being below strength for six of the previous seven years. He moved on from that post with the force operating efficiently, working harder and achieving a crime clear-up rate among the highest in the westem world. Tom Newbery was bora in Mackay on 23 March 1914, and was educated at the West Plane Creek, Laburnum Grove, Langdons Creek and Sarina State Schools, and at All Souls School at Charters Towers. He was a man of many talents and in his time was a motor agent and insurance inspector, sugar-cane-farmer, grazier, earth-mover and mine-owner. Tom Newbery held several directorships, including one on the Plane Creek sugar- mill, where he was deputy chairman for 12 years and a member for 30 years, as well as being a member of the board of the Australian National Power Alcohol Distillery for 14 years. He was a member of the Queensland Sugar Cane Technologists Association for 11 years, a member of the Australian Sugar Producers Association and the Queensland Canegrowers Association for 29 years. Tom was also a foundation member of the Mackay District Development Bureau and a member of the Mackay Club, the Sarina RSL and various bowling clubs. He was a member of the Sarina Shire Council for 28 years, its deputy chairman for nine years and chairman for 10 years, chairman of the Mackay Regional Electricity Board for 15 years and chairman of the Zelma Grasstree Goldmining Syndicate and other mineral leases in 1980. He took an interest in politics and joined the Country Party as a Young Country Party member in 1931. He was the first Young Country Party member to enter politics, being elected to represent the seat of Mirani in a by-election on 15 May 1965. Tom was in Parliament less than 10 years when he was appointed Minister for Tourism, Education and Cultural Activities on 23 December 1974. Then followed appointments as Minister for Tourism and Marine Services, Minister for Police and, finally. Minister for Culture, National Parks and Recreation. He was Leader of the House for three years and served on several Government party committees—local government and marine activities, works and housing, irrigation, primary industries and others. Tom Newbery represented his electorate of Mirani with the dedication that we expected of him, and, even with the onerous duties of ministerial office, he still served his constituents to the full. Honourable members only have to look down the list of positions that he held and organisations to which he belonged to realise that he was not afraid of work and, in fact, revelled in it. I would best describe Tom as a happy, considerate, caring person and a gentleman in every sense. His press secretary then is now my press secretary. It would be tme to say that all his former staff and the very many people with whom Tom came in contact throughout his business, local government and political life had nothing but the highest regard for the way in which he treated others and the standards of conduct that he set for himself Tom Newbery served a sound apprenticeship in preparation for his service to this House and to the people of Queensland. When he was elevated to Cabinet rank, he continued with his community service, while carrying out his ministerial duties with the same dedication that he had shown over previous years. Motion of Condolence 1 November 1984 2113 He had the tmst of all, and I am sure that it can be tmly said that he was a friend to all, no matter which side of the political fence they were on. To his widow, Jessie, his three children, and to the rest of the family, I offer my personal sympathy, and I am sure that all members of the House will join with me in extending sincere condolences. Hon. W. A. M. GUNN (Somerset—Deputy Premier and Minister Assisting the Treasurer) (11.9 a.m.): I second the motion moved by the Premier and Treasurer to express sympathy to the family of the late Thomas Guy Newbery. Tom Newbery was elected to Parliament in May 1965 in the by-election for the seat of Mirani left vacant by the death of the Honourable Ernest Evans. As has been the case with so many members of this House, his move into politics came as a natural extension of his service to local goverament and to the community. As the Premier and Treasurer has said, he was a member of the Sarina Shire CouncU for 28 years. Of this period, he spent a total of 19 years as chairman or deputy chairman. He was a director of the Plane Creek sugar-mill, deputy chairman for 12 years and a member for more than 30 years. He was also a director of the Australian National Power Alcohol Distillery for 14 years, a member of the Queensland Sugar Cane Technologists Association for 11 years and a member of both the Australian Sugar Producers Association and Queensland Canegrowers Association for more than three decades. Community service was inbuilt in Tom Newbery. Tom was young when his father died trying to save a drowning swimmer in Louisa Creek. A proud north Queenslander, his desire to see north Queensland achieve its full potential led him into party politics as a teenager. He joined the Country Party in 1931 and was the first Young Country Party member to enter State politics. Tom Newbery brought to Parliament a wealth of knowledge gained as a cane-grower, earth-mover and mine-owner, and, through his involvement with local goverament and community organisations, he was always conceraed with ensuring that the needs of the north were recognised. In his maiden speech, Tom extolled the contribution of the Mirani electorate in particular and north Queensland generally to the economy of this State. At the same time, he gave notice that he would ensure that the needs of the mral sector for water, electricity, better roads, secondary schools and Govemment services were recognised and met. In the 15 years that he spent as a hard-working Minister and parliamentarian, he contributed significantly to the deliberate and planned development that is the hallmark of this State.
