The Parliamentary Speaker and tradition The tradition of Speakership in the Westminster parliamentary system is a long and enduring one, commencing with the appointment of the first British Speaker, Sir Thomas Hungerford, who was appointed in 1377. From these earliest times, the Speaker has been the mouthpiece or representative of the House, speaking on behalf of the House in communicating its deliberations and decisions, to the monarchy, the Executive and also others. The Speaker represents, in a very real sense, the right of freedom of speech in the Parliament, which was hard won from a monarchical Executive centuries ago. The Parliament must constantly be prepared to maintain its right of…freedom of speech, without fear or favour.1 Amongst the numerous powers, responsibilities and functions vested in Speakers via the constitution, standing orders and conventions, and in addition to being the spokesperson of the House, the main functions of the Speaker are to preside over the debates of the

    Speech by Hon. Cameron Dick MEMBER FOR GREENSLOPES Hansard Wednesday, 22 April 2009 MAIDEN SPEECH Hon. CR DICK (Greenslopes—ALP) (Attorney-General and Minister for Industrial Relations) (7.30 pm): I start tonight by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land where this parliament stands who have served and nurtured this land for centuries. I pay tribute to them and their great role in our history. It is in this reflection of history that I begin tonight. In December 1862, three short years after the birth of our great state, whose 150th anniversary we celebrate this year, the sailing ship Conway arrived in the small Queensland settlement then known as Moreton Bay. History little records the fate of the Conway, its passengers and its crew, but one thing is known about that day in December 1862: that is the day my family arrived in Queensland and began its Queensland journey. Almost 150 years later, that journey has taken me to this place, the Queensland parliament. I stand tonight as a representative of the people in our state’s legislature, not only as a fifth-generation Queenslander but also with great humility and honour as a son of the state seat of Greenslopes, the electorate I now serve as a member of parliament. My first thanks this evening go to those people who make up the community of Greenslopes. It is a wonderful and diverse community and I look forward to serving them to the best of my ability. This electorate is very dear to my heart. It was at Holland Park, in the Greenslopes electorate, that I was raised as a boy.

I refer you to the second reading of the. La September 2010. I believe that Dr Bruce Flegg MP, Member for Moggill and Michael Crandon MP, Member for Coomera are in breach of standing order 260 which relates to the declaration of pecuniary interest in debate and other proceedings. As indicated in the Register of Member's Interests, both members hold substantial property holdings which has land tax implications and therefore means they had a direct and material interest in speaking against the bill and of how it passed. In speaking against the bill, the members did not declare their interests at the beginning of their speech as required under section (1) of standing order 260. I would appreciate your investigation of this matter and your advice on the outcome of your deliberations.

    Does the Gender Composition of an Opposition Influence Its Role on Women’S Issues?

    Does the Gender Composition of an Opposition Influence its Role on Women’s Issues? John E.S. McCulloch1 Abstract It might be reasonably assumed that when a political party develops a ‘critical mass’2 of women MPs these women will seek to address issues in the community that are discriminatory against their sex, and that their party will begin to develop a more consciously positive attitude towards promoting (or at least not opposing) legislation designed to improve the status and well-being of women. Indeed, in the case of a party in government, this trend is well illustrated in Australia by the Hawke Government’s innovative legislation designed specifically to improve the status of women, during the period 1984-87. In the case of a party in opposition, however, the trend is much less clear-cut, and this paper explores some paradoxes in the roles of Australian Oppositions. Introduction Eight pieces of legislation in four Australian parliaments — Commonwealth, Queensland, Victorian, Tasmanian — have been examined as examples of how opposition (and to a lesser extent, government) MPs, especially women, have behaved in promoting (or at least not opposing) legislation designed to improve the status and well-being of women. All eight bills deal with controversial issues including equal employment for women, euthanasia, homosexuality, domestic violence, abortion and RU486. It is not argued that these are exclusively women’s issues nor, in the case of euthanasia, that it is a woman’s issue at all. What is 1 University of Queensland 2 ‘Critical mass’ is a term borrowed from physics to explain the representation and behaviour of women MPs.

Other characteristics include: the 18 19 predominance of realpolitik in accounts of executive power and a tendency to emphasise ‘practice 20 21 over theory, commentary over fieldwork, and teaching over research’ (Rhodes and Wanna 2009, 22 23 129-30).

    Queensland January to June 2004

    Political Chronicles 605 Queensland January to June 2004 JOHN WANNA Political Science Program, Australian National University, and Politics and Public Policy, Griffith University A Re- Pete Landslide at the 2004 State Election Premier Peter Beattie caught the opposition completely by surprise announcing the state election on 14 January, while most Queenslanders were still on holiday. The Opposition Leader, Lawrence Springborg, working on his farm, raced back to Brisbane, while the Liberals' Leader, Bob Quinn, caught an early flight interrupting his family holiday in Sydney. Just as with the 2001 poll, Beattie's timing meant the campaign would occur over the summer break with few paying attention to politics. Beattie's repeat of a successful tactic reeked of opportunism. Beattie brought on the snap poll in an attempt to clear the air over systemic maladministration exposed in the Families Department. The department charged with protecting children had failed to act in hundreds of cases of child abuse — especially children in foster case and particularly indigenous children. The public inquiry held by the Crime and Misconduct Commission (CMC) in 2003 discovered a culture of cover- up in the besieged department. Even when given evidence of cases of sexual abuse it felt powerless to act and often did not forward matters to the police. The CMC produced an interim report in January 2004 citing 110 recommendations for change. Beattie admitted publicly that both his government and the department "had failed" and that he would provide funding to implement the reforms (Courier-Mail, 7 January 2004). He stated his intention of seeking a mandate to fix the foster care crisis.
