Dear Mr Speaker,
Re: M r Lawrence Sprlngborg MP; Mr Ray Stevens MP; Dr John McVeigh MP; M r Scott Emerson MP; Ms Tracy Davis MP; Mr Tim Mander MP; Ms Ann Leahy MP; Mr Mark McArdle MP; Mr Rob Molhoek MP; Mr Steve Minnikin MP; Mrs Deb Frecklington MP; Dr Christian Rowan MP; Mr Trevor Watts MP; Dr Mark Robinson MP; and Mr Ian W alker MP.
I \A/ish to draw M r Speaker's attention to a matter of privilege concerning Questions on Notice asked by Mr Lawrence Sprlngborg MP, Mr Ray Stevens MP, Dr John McVeigh MP, Mr Scott Emerson MP, Ms Tracy Davis MP, Mr Tim Mander MP, Ms Ann Leahy MP, M r Mark McArdle MP, Mr Glen Elmes MP, Mr Rob Molhoek MP, M r Steve Minnikin MP, Mrs Deb Frecklington MP, Dr Christian Rowan MP, Mr Trevor Watts MP, Dr Mark Robinson MP and M r Ian Walker MP.
I refer specifically to the Questions on Notice the Members of the Opposition asked on 6 May 2015,19 to 20 May 2015 (inclusive), 2 to 4 June 2015 (Inclusive) and 3 July 2015, including 142, 208, 348, 350, 371, 374, 386, 387,398, 417, 439, 445, 449, 451, 452, 463 and 497.
These Questions on Notice include a pro-forma preamble referring to commitments made by members of the former Liberal National Party (LNP) Government during the election campaign in the lead up to the 2015 election. I have enclosed copies of the questions for your reference.
For example, in Question on Notice 463, the Member for Mermaid Beach, Mr Ray Stevens asked:
'W ith reference to the form er LNP Government's fully funded and costed allocotion of $500,000 made to deliver new play equipment, improved playgrounds and sports field ot the New Farm State School in the Brisbane Central Electorate (funding not contingent on the Strong Choices program) -
Will this allocation proceed under the Labor Government?"
Mr Speaker, I submit that in asking these Questions on Notice to which I refer, the Members of the Opposition deliberately misled the House and are in contempt of the Parliament, in breach of Standing Order 266 of the Standing Rules and Orders of the Legislative Assembly (Standing Orders). There are three elements to be proven In order to establish that a Member has committed the contempt of deliberately misleading the House: 1. The statement must have been misleading; 2. The Member making the statement must have known, at the time the statement was made, that it was incorrect; and 3. In making the statement, the Member intended to mislead the House.
Section 37 of the Parlioment o f Queensland Act 2001 sets out the meaning of contempt of the Assem bly as: 1. C o n te m p tof the Assembly means a breach or disobedience of the powers, rights or immunities, or a contempt, of the Assembly or its Members or committees. 2. Conduct, including words, is not a contempt of the Assembly unless it amounts, or is intended or likely to amount to an improper interference with a. The free exercise by the Assembly or a committee of its authority or functions; o r b. The free performance by a Member of the Member's duties as a Member.
Standing Order 266 of the Standing Orders sets out examples of what might constitute a contempt of the Parliament and, while not limiting the power of the House to the matters contained therein, includes a reference in sub-paragraph (2) to:
Deliberately misleading the House or a committee (by way of submission, statement, evidence or petition);
I submit that the Questions on Notice can be considered "submissions" or "statements" as they are contained in the official record of Parliament.
As outlined above, there are three elements to be proven in order to establish that a Member has committed the contempt of deliberately misleading the House. I will address each of these in turn.
1. The statement must have been misleading
The Questions on Notice referred to herein, contained a preamble stating the projects were "fully funded and costed allocations" that were "not contingent on the Strong Choices program".
M r Speaker, I refer you to the attached copies of these questions for the individual allocations referred to therein.
These statements, stated as fact in a preamble to each of the Questions on Notice, are false and misleading. I have sought advice from the Department of Education and Training for each of these Questions on Notice and my office has been advised that none of these projects were funded or costed by the former LNP Government, nor were they included in the forward estim ates. I believe that the Members of the Opposition, particularly those Members who formed part of the former Newman Government Cabinet and therefore privy to government budget decision making documents, have deliberately misled the House by stating these allocations were “fu lly funded and costed" and “not contingent on the Strong Choices program".
In addition to the advice I received from the department, it is my understanding these proposed allocations were announced during the election period and were conditional on the re-election of the local Liberal National Party candidates, contrary to the statement that these projects w ere "not contingent on the Strong Choices Program." I {enclo'^i herewith copies of articles and social media posts evidencing the election promises referred to in the Questions on Notice contained herein. For ease of reference, I have attached the articles and social media posts to the relevant Question on Notice and marked them as exhibits at the relevant section of this submission.
Mr Speaker, the statements contained in the Questions on Notice referred to herein, are contrary to the information provided by the Department of Education and Training, They are clearly false and misleading. It is my submission the first element is satisfied.
2. The Member making the statement must have known, at the time the statement was made, that It was Incorrect
Mr Speaker, having established the first element, I now turn to the question of whether the Members making the statement must have known, at the time the statement was made, that it was incorrect.
M r Speaker, the following Members were part of the Cabinet of the former LNP Government: • M r Lawrence Springborg MP, Member for Southern Downs; • Mr Tim Mander MP, Member for Everton; • Dr John McVeigh MP, Member for Toowoomba South; • Mr Scott Emerson MP, Member for Indooroopilly; • Ms Tracy Davis MP, Member for Aspley; • Mr Mark McArdle MP, Member for Caloundra; and • Mr Ian Walker MP, Member for Mansfield.
The Members would have been aware that the expenditure referred to in the Questions on Notice would have required approval either of Cabinet, or of the Cabinet Budget Review Committee. Further, these Members approved a State Budget for the 2014/15 financial year that did not include any of the expenditure referred to in the Questions on Notice.
The Queensland Cabinet Handbook provides at page 2: Ministers should ensure there is no announcement of policy initiatives or expenditure commitments which have not been given Cabinet authority or, where appropriate. Governor in Council approval. These Members would have been aware the commitments referred to in the Questions on Notice were not funded or costed in the State Budget in the 2014/15 financial year and that they were contingent on their re-election of the Newman Government in January, therefore being contingent on the Strong Choices program.
Given 16 Members of the Opposition asked pro forma Questions on Notice about the fully funded and costed allocations not contingent on the Strong Choices program, I submit that it could be reasonably inferred that it was centrally coordinated by the Member for Southern Downs, the Leader of the Opposition.
The Member for Southern Downs has been a Member of Parliament for 25 years and would be aware of his paramount duty to the Parliament to ensure any representations made are factually accurate and any scheme or strategy is not designed to mislead the Parliament and the Queensland public.
Further, it is my submission that all Members of the Parliament have a responsibility to ensure statements on the official record, including Questions on Notice, are accurate.
The Parliamentary Code of Ethical Standards at 3.7.2.3 - Deliberately misleading the House, states:
Members may sometimes make incorrect or misleading statements in the House without actually intending to mislead the House. Recklessness by a Member resulting in incorrect or misleading statements to the House is in itself a serious matter. Members hove a duty to correct the official record in the House os soon as it becomes apparent their statements were incorrect or could be misleading.
This implies Members have a duty to ensure the statements are accurate in the first instance. As I have stated above, my office has received information from the Department of Education and Training that none of the allocations or proposed projects referred to in the Questions on Notice were funded or costed, I am also aware these projects were contingent on the former LNP Government being elected, therefore contingent on the Strong Choices Program.
In the alternative, the Members were reckless in making the statements, resulting in incorrect or misleading statements to the House.
In a number of the following instances, Members have asked Questions on Notice after my office had responded to other Questions on Notice of the same nature. The answers my office provided from 5 June 2015 onwards, should have put the Members on notice that the information being used in their pro forma preamble was inaccurate. As stated above, the Code of Ethical Standards states;
Members have a duty to correct the official record in the House os soon os it becomes apparent their statements were incorrect or could be misleading. It is my submission the Members knew in the first instance that the statement was incorrect and misleading, however, even if those Members were to argue that they did not know the statement was incorrect prior to 5 June 2015, they were in possession of that fact after 5 June 2015,
To assist the Speaker, I will now turn to each Question of Notice placed by Members of the Opposition and the media and social media evidence available publicly, establishing the second element of the offence for each Member in that they knew at the time the statement was made, it was incorrect.
The overarching discourse of the 2015 LNP Queensland Election campaign was the Strong Choices platform, led by the former Premier Campbell Newman. On 24 January 2015, ABC News reported in an article entitled, “Queenslond election 2015; Campbell Newman will not guarantee projects if LNP members not elected."
"Campbell Newman says he cannot guarantee the Liberal National Party's big spending promises, even those with bipartisan support, if the party wins government but not the seat a project is in."
This was the theme of the LNP campaign in the lead up to the election on 31 January 2015. The former Ministers, Members and Candidates were aware of the Strong Choices policy platform and were aware that election promises were dependent on the election of an LNP candidate as Member. I [enclosel herewith a copy of the article, marked as "Exhibit A",
Lawrence Springborg MP, Member for Southern Downs, Leader of the Opposition
QON142 (Exhibit B) On 6 May 2015, M r Springborg asked: "W ith reference to the form er LNP Government's fully funded and costed allocation of $150,000 fo r upgrades to the Kuranda District State College to provide on enclosed, weatherproof outdoor facility in the Barron River Electorate (funding not contingent on the "Strong Choices" program) - Will the Minister advise if the allocation will proceed under the State Labor Government?"
On 26 January 2015, the Brisbane Times reported in an article entitled "Queensland State Election: LNP carrots target schools, sports groups": "....while Michael Trout is hoping a new m ultipurpose area fo r Kuranda District State College students will keep the seat of Barron River."
Michael Trout is the former Member for Barron River. This article evidences that five days before the election, the former Member was "hoping" that a new multipurpose area would hold his seat.
The Department of Education and Training has advised this allocation was not funded or costed. It is also a matter of public record that it was not in the 2014-15 State Budget and therefore, not fully funded or costed-1 refer you to the State Budget 2014-15 Capital Statement Budget Paper No. 3 tabled in the Queensland Parliament on 3 June 2014 which I have attached and marked as Exhibit T.
This demonstrates Mr Springborg, having decided to place on the official record of Parliament a question regarding this specific allocation, must have known that the statement was false and misleading.
In addition, I submit Mr Springborg has been reckless in his representations.
QON 445 (Exhibit C) On 3 July 2015, Mr Springborg asked: "With reference to the form er LNP Government’s fully funded and costed allocation of $1,000,000 made towards Cairns State High School High Performance Centre in the Cairns Electorate (funding not contingent on the Strong Choices program) - Will this allocation proceed under the Labor Government?"
On 15 January 2015, the Cairns Post reported in an article entitled "Northern Pride bolsters LNP promise to build sports centre in Cairns" that the former Cairns MP Gavin King confirmed $1 million if he was re-elected on January 31 to build the facility at Cairns State High School.
This article evidences as at 15 January 2015, that the former Member for Cairns was promising to build the sporting facility, if he was re-elected, therefore contingent on the LNP platform of Strong Choices.
The Department of Education and Training has advised this allocation was not funded or costed. It is also a matter of public record that it was not in the 2014-15 State Budget and therefore, not fully funded or costed. I refer you to the State Budget 2014-15 Capital Statement Budget Paper No. 3 tabled in the Queensland Parliament on 3 June 2014 which I have attached and marked as Exhibit T.
This demonstrates Mr Springborg, having decided to place on the official record of Parliament a question regarding this specific allocation, must have known that the statement was false and misleading.
In addition, I submit Mr Springborg has been reckless in his representations.
Further, the Member for Southern Downs would have had the opportunity to view the answers provided by my office to other Questions on Notice submitted by Members of the Opposition with this pro forma preamble, as well as tfie answer lu his own Question on Notice submitted in May. The answer to Question on Notice No. 142 he submitted on 6 May 2015 was tabled on 5 June 2015 - 2 days after his second Question on Notice.
I submit that the Member for Southern Downs was aware, at least by 5 June 2015, if not earlier that the statement regarding allocations being fully funded and costed was inaccurate and misleading. As Leader of the Opposition, the Member further had an obligation to inform other Members of the Opposition that further questions of this nature would be inaccurate and misleading, in dereliction of their obligation to Parliament.
In addition, 1 submit the Member for Southern Downs was reckless, for if he had performed the requisite due diligence to fulfil his obligation to Parliament, he would have been aware the representations he made were false and misleading. in support of the second element of the offence of contempt of Parliament, I note Mr Springborg was a Cabinet member of the former Newman Government and was privy to funding approvals of Cabinet and the State Budget. The Member for Southern Downs was aware this expenditure was not approved by the former Government and therefore, was not fully funded or costed and was contingent on the Strong Choices platform, as per the reports in the Cairns Post and the Brisbane Times.
M r Tim Mander MP, Member for Everton
QON 449 (Exhibit D) On 2 June 2015, M r Mander asked; "W ith reference to the form er LNP Government's fully funded and costed allocation of $3,000,000 made to construct a new multipurpose hall at Enoggera State School in the Ashgrove electorate (funding not contingent on Strong Choices program) ~ Will this allocation proceed under a Labor Government?"
On 11 January 2015, the Brisbane Times reported in an article entitled, "Queensland Election: Ashgrove Election Plan gets $18 million: "A further $3 million is promised to Enoggera State School for Its school hall..."
This article evidences as at 11 January 2015, that the former Premier was promising to fund the building of a hail at Enoggera State School. As the former Premier stated in media, promises were contingent on the re-election of LNP members, therefore contingent on the Strong Choices program .
The Department of Education and Training has advised this allocation was not funded or costed. It is also a matter of public record that it was not in the 2014-15 State Budget and therefore, not fully funded or costed. I refer you to the State Budget 2014-15 Capital Statement Budget Paper No. 3 tabled in the Queensland Parliament on 3 June 2014 which I have attached and marked as E xhibit T.
This demonstrates M r Mander, having decided to place on the official record of Parliament a question regarding this specific allocation, must have known that the statement was false and misleading.
In addition, I submit Mr Mander has been reckless in his representations. QON 348 (Exhibit £} On 2 June 2015, M r Mander also asked: "With reference to the form er LNP Government's fully funded and costed allocation of $150,000 to put down a bitumen surface ot Gravely State School car park in the Ferny Grove Electorate (funding not contingent on Strong Choices program) - Will this allocation proceed under a Labor Government?"
On 29 January 2015, the former Member for Ferny Grove Dale Shuttleworth posted on his facebook page:
"If re-elected on January 31^'-1 am committed to giving our schools on even bigger boost by fixing the dangerous stage area at Patricks Road State School, left by the previous Labor Government, fixing the dangerous and neglected cor park ot Grovely State School and improving the resources of our local school dental program."
This social media post evidences as at 29 January 2015, two days before the election, that the former Member for Ferny Grove promised to fix the stage at Patricks Road State School - if he was re-elected, therefore being contingent on the LNP platform of Strong Choices,
The Department of Education and Training has advised this allocation was not funded or costed. It is also a matter of public record that it was not in the 2014-15 State Budget and therefore, not fully funded or costed. I refer you to the State Budget 2014-15 Capital Statement Budget Paper No, 3 tabled in the Queensland Parliament on 3 June 2014 which i have attached and marked as Exhibit T.
This demonstrates M r Mander, having decided to place on the official record of Parliament a question regarding this specific allocation, must have known that the statement was false and misleading.
In addition, I submit Mr Mander has been reckless in his representations.
I submit that the Member for Everton was aware, at least by 5 June 2015, if not earlier that the statement regarding allocations being fully funded and costed was inaccurate and misleading.
In addition, I submit the Member for Everton was reckless for if he had performed the requisite due diligence to fulfil his obligation to Parliament, he would have been aware the representations he made were false and misleading.
In support of the second element of the offence of contempt of Parliament, I note Mr Mander was a Cabinet member of the former Newman Government and was privy to funding approvals of Cabinet and State the Budget. The Member for Everton was aware this expenditure was not approved by the former Government and therefore, was not fully funded or costed and was contingent on the Strong Choices platform, as per the report in the Brisbane Times and the post on the Mr Shuttleworth's facebook page. Dr John McVeigh MP, Member for Toowoomba South
QON 497 (Exhibit F) On 4 June 2015, Dr McVeigh asked: "With reference to the form er LNP Government's fully funded and costed allocation of $150,000 made towards providing new toilet facilities fo r the students at the Algester State School in the Algester Electorate (funding not contingent on Strong Choices program) - Will this allocation proceed under a Labor Government?"
On 28 January 2015, the Southern Star - Springwood reported in an article entitled ‘‘Pledges focus on schools":
"Students at Algester State School could benefit from a $150,000 upgrade of their toilet facilities if Algester state LNP MP Anthony Shorten is re-elected on Saturday."
This article evidences as at 28 January 2015, three days before the election, that the former Member for Algester was promising $150,000 if he was re-elected, hence contingent on the LNP platform of Strong Choices.
The Department of Education and Training has advised this allocation was not funded or costed. It is a matter of public record that it was not in the 2014-15 State Budget and therefore, not fully funded or costed.
This demonstrates Dr McVeigh, having decided to place on the official record of Parliament a question regarding this specific allocation, must have known that the statement was false and misleading.

On 15 January 2015, the form er Member for Brisbane Central, Robert Cavallucci tweeted:
"Kelvin Grove SS to get new indoor sports centre as part o f my local plan, 20 new classrooms already delivered ttqldpol"
In the tweet, there is a link to a media release on Mr Cavaliucci's website, which no longer exists: http://www.robertcavalluccl.com.au/2015/01/kelvin-grove-state-college-to-get-5-5-m-sports- hall-under-lnp/
From the link it can be inferred the release was titled "Kelvin Grove State College to get 5.5m sports hall under LNP."
This social media post evidences as at 15 January 2015, the form er Member for Brisbane Central was promising to build the sports hall, as part of his local plan - Implying his plan for the electorate if he was re-elected, hence contingent on the LNP platform of Strong Choices.

QON 398 (Exhibit L) On 2 June 2015, M r Molhoek asked: "W ith reference to the form er LNP Government's fully funded and cosfed allocation of $150,000 mode to install new lighting at Stretton State School (sic) in the Stretton Electorate (funding not contingent on Strong Choices program) - Will this allocation proceed under a Labor Government?"
On 28 January 2015, the Southern Star-Springwood reported in an article entitled "Pledges focus on schools": "Meanwhile, Stretton state LNP MP Freya Ostapovitch said she would push for new lighting at Stretton State College's football field if she won a second term ."
This article evidences as at 28 January 2015, three days before the election, that the former Member for Stretton was promising to "push for new lighting" if she was re-elected - contrary to the assertion made by the Member for Southport that the allocation was fully funded and costed.
The Department of Education and Training has advised this allocation was not funded or costed, it is also a matter of public record that it was not in the 2014-15 State Budget and therefore, not fully funded or costed. I refer you to the State Budget 2014-15 Capital Statement Budget Paper No. 3 tabled in the Queensland Parliament on 3 June 2014 which I have attached and marked as Exhibit T.
This demonstrates M r Molhoek, having decided to place on the official record of Parliament a question regarding this specific allocation, must have known that the statement was false and misleading.
In addition, I submit M r Molhoek has been reckless in his representations.
I submit that the Member for Southport was aware, at least by 5 June 2015, if not earlier, that the statement regarding allocations being fully funded and costed was inaccurate and misleading. In addition, I submit the Member for Southport was reckless for if he had performed the requisite due diligence to fulfil his obligation to Parliament, he would have been aware the representations he made were false and misleading.
M r Steve Minnikin MP, Member for Chatsworth

On 21 January 2015, the South East Advertiser reported in an article entitled "MP's pledge fo r $5m school hall":
"Liberal Greenslopes MP Ian Kaye pledged $5m fo r a new school at Cavendish Road State High School If re-elected. He made the announcement with Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek last week, saying a state of the art facility would accommodate a range of activities."
This article evidences as at 21 January 2015, ten days before the election, that the former Member for Greenslopes promised $5 million if he was re-elected - contrary to the assertion made by the Member for Chatsworth that the aiiocation was fully funded and costed.
The Department of Education and Training has advised this allocation was not funded or costed. It is also a matter of public record that it was not in the 2014-15 State Budget and therefore, not fully funded or costed. I refer you to the State Budget 2014-15 Capital Statement Budget Paper No. 3 tabled in the Queensland Parliament on 3 June 2014 which I have attached and marked as Exhibit T.

On 30 January 2015, the day before the election, the former Greenslopes Member Ian Kaye posted on his facebook page:
"My plan fo r Greenslopes should I be re-elected tomorrow is:
16 strengthen the QLD economy to ensure job creation and opportunities fo r oil Queenslanders and provide first class health and education services. You can't hove strong services without a strong economy.
Some of what I will deliver locally in the next term for Greenslopes: • A new hall fo r Cavendish Road State High School. • Upgraded lighting on the ovals at Coorparoo Juniors AFL and Coorparoo Secondary College. • Assistance to the Canossa Kindergarten fo r new playground equipment following their recent loss. • Replacement of aging playground equipment at Coorparoo Primary School."
This social media post evidences as at 30 January 2015, the day before the election, that the former Member for Greenslopes promised the replacement of playground equipment at Coorparoo Primary School during his next term - if he was re-elected. He also states that "you can't have strong services without a strong economy", implying the commitments are contingent on the Strong Choices platform.
The Department of Education and Training has advised this allocation was not funded or costed. It is also a matter of public record that it was not in the 2014-15 State Budget and therefore, not fully funded or costed.

17 (funding not contingent on Strong Choices program) - Will this allocation proceed under a Labor Government?"
On 15 January 2015, the Pine Rivers Press reported in an article entitled, "Schools centre of election pledges":
"Sitting LNP M P for Pine Rivers Sean Holswich was due to announce today a $2.85 million renovation o f the school hall at Bray Park State High School if he and the LNP are returned.
'If I am re-elected as part o f an LNP Government, / will deliver this new and improved hall fo r the Dray Pork High School community', M r Holswich said."
This article evidences as at 15 January 2015, mere weeks before the election, that the former Member for Pine Rivers was promising to deliver a new and improved hall for Bray Park State High School if he was re-elected - contrary to the assertion made by the Member for Nanango that the allocation was fully funded and costed.

18 On 23 January 2015, a media release on Mr Andrew Cripps' MP website entitled, "LNP Delivers fo r Northern Beaches Community" reports:
"Member for Thuringowa Sam Cox has been delivering important school and safety upgrades with the announcement of air-conditioning o f the Northern Beaches SHS school hall and a pedestrian crossing on Veales Rood.
Air-conditioning the school hall will provide a facility that is better suited to our climate, not just fo r students hut fo r everyone in the Northern Beaches area."
This media release evidences as at 23 January 2015, a week before the election, that the former Member for Thuringowa was planning to deliver air conditioning of the Northern Beaches State High School and does not assert that the planned air conditioning was funded or costed - merely that he planned to deliver It.
The Department of Education and Training has advised this allocation was not funded or costed. It is also a matter of public record that it was not in the 2014-15 State Budget and therefore, not fully funded or costed. I refer you to the State Budget 2014-15 Capital Statement Budget Paper No. 3 tabled in the Queensland Parliament on 3 June 2014 which I have attached and marked as Exhibit I .

From the link it can be Inferred the release was titled "Windsor and New Farm state schools receive $ lm in funding for stage 1 of their master plans."
This social media post evidences as at 15 January 2015 that the former Member for Brisbane Central was promising to provide a share of $1 million in funds to New Farm State School - implying the funding would be received if he was re-elected, hence contingent on the LNP platform of Strong Choices.

I’ve had Education Minister John-Paul Langbroek in the electorate and he has seen himself the impact on the school community. l^lpswichWest WoteforChoat ffstrongerqid"
This social media post evidences as at 29 January 2015, two days before the election, that the former Member for Ipswich West promised $100,000 to Brassall State School for flood mitigation works as part of his five point plan for Ipswich West, implying the funding would be available on his election.
The Department of Education and Training has advised this allocation was not funded or costed. It Is also a matter of public record that it was not in the 2014-15 State Budget and therefore, not fully funded or costed. I refer you to the State Budget 2014-15 Capital Statement Budget Paper No. 3 tabled in the Queensland Parliament on 3 June 2014 which 1 have attached and marked as Exhibit T.
This demonstrates Mr Watts, having decided to place on the official record of Parliament a question regarding this specific allocation, must have known that the statement was false and misleading.
In addition, I submit M r Watts has been reckless in his representations.
1 submit that the Member for Toowoomba North was aware, at least by 5 June 2015, if not earlier, that the statement regarding allocations being fully funded and costed was inaccurate and misleading.
In addition, I submit the Member for Toowoomba North was reckless for If he had performed the requisite due diligence to fulfil his obligation to Parliament, he would have been aware the representations he made were false and misleading. Mr Speaker, 1 submit the second element is established and the Members knew at the time the statement was made, it was Incorrect.
3. In making the statement, the Member Intended to mislead the House
Mr Speaker, by allowing the false and misleading statement in the Questions on Notice to remain on the official record, the Members have indicated they do not intend to ensure their statements to the House are accurate and have also demonstrated that they intend and continue to mislead the House.
The Member for Toowoomba North, Mr Trevor Watts MP, has issued media citing the Question on Notice in support of his claim that had the LNP won the state election, the hall at Toowoomba State High School would have been built. M r Watts is intentionally and deliberately misleading the Parliament and the public, as the media in question is subsequent to
21 the answer tabled to his Question on Notice - advising that the hall was not funded or costed. I lenciosej herewith a copy of the article for your reference, marked "Exhibit S".
The first Question on Notice with this pro forma preamble was submitted on 6 May 2015 and answered by my office on 5 June 2015. I refer you to the Question on Notice no. 142, in which my office advises Mr Lawrence Springborg MP, Member for Southern Downs and the Leader of the Opposition, that there was no commitment of funding, neither was the allocation costed.
This answer put all Members of the Opposition on notice that the preamble being used in a pro forma fashion, was incorrect and misleading, yet the subsequent Questions on Notice submitted continued to use the same preamble.
Further, Standing Order 115 of the Standing Orders sets out the rules for questions, which include:
{bj Questions shall not contain: (i) lengthy or subjective preambles; (ii) arguments; (Hi) inferences: (iv) imputations;
I submit that all the Questions on Notice referred to herein, contain lengthy or subjective preambles, infer and impute the proposed projects or allocations were fully funded, costed and not contingent on the Strong Choices program - which is false and misleading. M r Speaker, I am confident this submission provides sufficient information to establish the Members of Parliament referred to herein, have made statements to the House that are misleading, knew them to be incorrect and that, in so doing. Intended to mislead the House.
It Is my submission, M r Speaker, that you would be satisfied that the Members of Parliament are in breach of Standing Order 115 and 266 of the Standing Rules and Orders of the Legislative Assembly, and are In contempt of Parliament. I also submit the Members are in breach of section 3.7.2.3 of the Code of Ethical Standards of the Legislative Assembly and are in contempt of Parliament.
I therefore ask, Mr Speaker, that you refer this matter to the Ethics Committee for its consideration of whether the Members of Parliament are in breach of the Standing Orders and Code o f Cond>]Ct.
Yours sincere

ANSWER: I thank the M em ber for his question. 1 am advised by the Department that there was no com m itm ent of funding by the form er LNP Government through the capital works program for this project. Further, I am advised that Infrastructure Services have not viewed any plans and therefore have not been able to cost the project to confirm the cost estimate. However, the Honourable M em ber would be aware that capital funding for the 2015/15 year has been placed under considerable pressure owing to the previous LNP government's decision to allocate m ore than a third of the capital budget to pay down a significant component of the Public Private Partnership that they entered into - 1 am advised this is contrary to the advice of the Department of Education. This com m itm ent of more than $100 million from the capital works budget for 2015/16 has placed significant constraint on other new capital works in the upcoming financial year for projects like this one. I can further advise that the recently announced federal budget includes up to a $6 billion reduction in funding for all Queensland schools once again placing significant pressure on school funding. I can assure the Honourable M em ber that while his leader has been silent on the Abbott Government cuts to Queensland schools, I will continue to lobby the Federal Minister for Education to stop these cuts and I urge the Honourable M ember to do the same. I can assure the Honourable M em ber that the Local M em ber Grace Grace, a strong advocate for state schools, is in regular contact w ith me regarding schools in her electorate. 1 would be happy to receive any documentation from the member to substantiate the details in his question that are contrary to the advice I have received from the departm ent.

STATE CAPITAL PROGRAM - PLANNING AND PRIORITIES______ INTRODUCTION The Queensland Government is delivering critical infrastructure, at the same lim e as repairing the State's financial position, with a comprehensive approach to delivering an etlicient capital program, to ensure the coininimity receives the maxiinuin benefit from its investments. This involves comprehen.sive planning and prioritisation o f the capital program, rigorous cc-aluation o f the c'alue for money o f proposed capital investments and innovative and efficient flmding and deliveiy solutions. CAPITAL PLANNING Infrastructure for Economic Development Queensland is continuing to implement significant reforms to the way infrastmclure is planned, prioritised, funded and managed. Our infraslmcture frameworks and industiy specific strategies are being dri\’en by growth promoting objectives ~ supporting the four pillar economy - tourism, agriciiliiire, resources and construction.

CAPITAL DELIVERY - PROJECTS QUEENSLAND Projects Queensland is a unit within Queensland Treasury and Trade, established to enhance the Queensland Govem inent’s infrastructure evaluation and procurement capability. Over the last i 2 months. Projects Queensland has led the development of some o f the State's most significant infrastructure projects, such as Queensland Schools. Government Wireless NetW'ork, Toowoomba Second Range Crossing and New Generation Rolling Stock. The key role o f Projects Queensland is to engage w ith the private sector to explore oppoitiinities for better investment in public infrastructure and sei-vicc delivery. Projects Queensland plays an important pari in the Governm ejit's strategy to provide greater value, restore Queensland’s financial strength and regain Queensland's A A A credit rating, w hile providing infrastructure and services for future growth. Projects Queensland also plays an important role, in conjunction with Government-owned coiporalions. in the development and delivery o f tlnancc solutions for resource related infrastructure projects where the potential for piivate finance exists. The specific responsibilities o f Projects Queensland are to; • prepare preliminai'v evaluations for key projects with the greatest potential as Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) • prepare business cases and manage tender processes and contract negotiations for ail traditional government financed infrastructure where the expected capital cost is greater than $ 100 m illion (or other projects identitletl as veiy high risk) • assist agencies in project assessment, tendering and contract negotiations, and other advisoiy and re\'iew services for traditional govemm ent financed projects with an estimated cost below $100 m illion • prepare business cases lor all projects approved as potential PPPs • manage tender processes and contract negotiations for all projects approved to proceed as PPPs • actively engage with the private sector to develop funding models to encourage private investment in infrastructure • develop and deliver finance solutions for Go\'em iiient-owned coiporation infrastructure projects where the potential for private finance exists • review and maintain the government's key infrastnicturc policies (ciuTently the Project Assurance Framework and the Value for Money Framework). Capital Statement 2014-15 11 Road projects that are considered to be 'standard' or not suitable for private finance remain the responsibility o f the Dcpailm ent of Transport and Main Roads ander the Queensland Transport and Roads Investment Program (Q TR IP). with Projects Queensland undertaking a review role as required for these projects. I'he scope o f Projects Queensland’s responsibilities ensures a consistent approach to the assessment o f projects, resulting in more effective prioritisation, selection of the appropriate procurement and financing options, and better targeting of projects as potential PPPs. This supports the establishment o f a pipeline o f privately tlnanced projects and ensures consistency o f dealings v\ith the pri\'ate sector on government p ro je c ts . Key Projects Toowoomba Second Range Crossing The Toowoomba Second Range Crossing (TSRC) is a proposed bypass route to the north of Toowoomba, approximately 41 kilometres in length, running from the WaiTego Highway at Ilelidon in the east to the Gore Highway at Athol in the west via Charlion, The TSRC w ill provide safer and more et'ficieni passenger and freight movements on this impoitant part o f the National Land Transport Network. The State and Commonwealth Governments have publicly announced a total funding commitment of $1.6 billion for the TSRC. Projects Queensland w ill manage the TSRC procureinent through a multi-phase competitive bid process. TSRC is expected to reach contract award in early 2015 and to be operational from m id-2018. Bus and Train (BaT) The Bus and Train (BaT) project is a proposed new 5.4 kilometre north-south tunnel that combines a railway and a busway in a single, double-decked, 15 metre-wide tunnel beneath the Brisbane River.

As electricity demand has remained subdued over the last couple o f years, the oversupply has remained. C’onsumption o f electricity has been impacted by consumers adopting more energy efficient practices and the iiigh uptake o f rooftop solar photovoltaic (P V ) capacity in Queensland. The current situation sees low pool and contract prices. Further, market-dominated venically integrated private competitors (w ith both generation and retail businesses) have been able to depress pool prices to protect ihcir retail positions. The Queensland wholesale electricity market is expected to improve over the foi'wvard estimates period. This is largely driven by the expected commencement o f operations by three liquefied natural gas projects in Queensland, which w ill have significant demand for electricity to meet their production requirements, as well as diverting gas away from electricitv- generation. This is expected to impact positively on demand over the next five years, \^'ith energy grouih moderating in the following five years. Another key factor in the market outlook is the Australian Govenim enl’s proposed removal o f the carbon pricing scheme. This w ill lower costs for coal fired generators such as CS Energy Limited and Stanwell Corporation Lim ited and improve their competitiveness. C'S Energy Limited and Stanwell Coiporation Lim ited w ill spend $342 million in 2014-15 on the rnaintenance o f existing plant and suppotling operations. Their focus w ill remain on the elficient. reliable and safe operation o f their existing plant and equipment. Networks The netw'ork energy Goveniment-owned coiporations in Queensland (Energex Lim ited (Energex). Ergon Energy Corporation Litniled (Ergon) and Queensland Electricity Transmission Corporation Lim ited (Powerlink)) are regulated by the Australian Energy Regulator (A ER ) under a re\'enue cap arrangement which applies for the five year determination period. In re.sponse to electricity market conditions and the findings o f reviews undertaken by the Queensland Govemment, Energex, Ergon and Powerlink have all reduced their capital expenditure forecasts, tlirough the deferral and/or removal o f projects. I'he entities have also had a significant focus on cost reduction and efficiency. W ithin this context, capital programs have been closely examined to ensure expenditure is prudent. Budgeted capital expenditure in 2014-15 of $2.4 billion w ill continue the provision of a reliable transmission and distribution network. In the face o f continued Capital Staleriienl 2014-15 17 softening in cicctncity demand forecasts in Queensland, capital expenditure on the electricity netw^ork is expected to reniaiii moderate over the coming years. Education and Training The Depariment of Education, Trajiiing and Employinent w ill make capital purchases of $410.5 m illion in 2014-15. This includes $394.9 million for schools, $10.9 million for early childhood education and S4.7 m illion for training. The department w ill make capital grant payments o f $107.6 m illion to other organisations. Highlights o f the department's capital program include; • $93.8 m illion to continue preparations to introduce Year 7 as the first year of secondaiw schooling from 2015 by building, refurbishing and reconfiguring stale school classrooms and llexible learning areas • S23 million to construct a new secondai 7 school at Highfieids • $59.3 m illion for the 2014-15 allocation to the $1.4 billion Queensland Schools PPP project for 10 new schools in SEQ. with the first two schools to commence at Burpengaiy and Pimpama in 2015 • $24.4 m illion to continue the delivery of the Australian Govcrnmem Trade Training Centres in Schools Proiiram. t8 Capital Statement 2014-15 3.

The following definitions are applicable throughout this document; • capital purchases propeity, plant and equipment outlays as per the financial statements excluding asset sales, depreciation and revaluations; and • capital grants capital grants to other entities and individuals (excluding grants to other Government departments and statutory bodies). Capital purchases and capital grams include infonnation for all bodies defined as reporting entities for the purpose o f whole-of-Governincnt financial reporting requirements, excluding Public Financial Coiporations. Projects without a recorded total estimated cost are ongoing. The entities included in scope for the Capital Statement are listed in Appendix A. CAPITAL CONTINGENCY Consistent with the approach adopted in previous years, a capital contingency reserve has been included. This reserve recognises that while agencies budget to fully use their capital works allocation, circumstances such as project lead-in times, project management constraints, unexpected weatlier conditions and capacity constraints such as the supply o f labour and materials may prevent full usage. On a whole-of-Government basis, there is likely to be underspending, resulting in a can-yover o f capital allocations.

I reject the baseless claim of Minister Jones in her referral of this matter to you. It is purely an exercise in desperation and cheap politics designed to distract from the real issues regarding Education, that the Government has failed to deliver an improved situation for schools. For evidence, Minister Jones draws on a local paper story in which another MP, not me, is cited and interpreted by a local journalist. To start with, I am not mentioned in the story and secondly this Fairfax paper is notorious for its political interpretations. Further, Minister Jones misrepresents the various forms of funding used by the LNP to fund projects, just as she and her colleagues misrepresented the LNP asset leasing plan as asset sales. I am advised that the project in question was contained in the LNP’s fully costed and audited election costings, and would have been delivered by the LNP MP, Mr Davies if he had have been re-elected. I trust this helps you as Speaker to reject the claim made by Minister Jones as baseless, lacking any substance, seriously flawed in argument, political in motivation and a waste of resources - your time as Speaker, her staffs time in putting this flimsy case together, and my time in responding to this trumped up allegation. 21 ... nicctoratc OlTice: Kniiner Place, iO Waleiloo Slrect, ( levehind ♦ PO Box 1.^99, Cleveland Qi U 4163 07 3286 2726 07 3286 5418 clcve!and(d'piu'liaiiient.([Id.gov.au : \v\vw.maikiobiiisoniiip.com.an ! humbly request that you rule the referral out as lacking solid substance, and take no further action in this matter against me.

It was raised that the following three elements must be addressed where it is alleged a member has committed the contempt of deliberately misleading the house. 1. The statement must have been misleading: 2 The member making the statement knew at the time the statement was made that it v;as incorrect; and 3. In making the statement, the member intended to mislead the House. When reviewing these elements, I note the Minister in her voluminous referral of this matter in turn has appeared to mislead the House as to the nature and method of costing election commitments. In an attempt to justify her referral the Minister asserted that in order for a project to be fully funded and costed it must have either been done by the Department, or be contained in the Budget forward Estimates. This does not appear to be correct in this circumstance. The LNP’s 2015 election costings contained multiple components and included: 1. Projects contained in the Budget Papers and forward estimates at the time; 2. Projects contained in the LNP's fully costed and audited election costings not contingent on asset leases: and 3. Projects contained in the I NP's fully costed and audited election costings contingent on asset leases. The projects identified by the Minister in her referral appear to fall within the second category of projects. I appreciate your thorough consideration of this matter and look forwarded to receiving your future correspondence. Yours sincer STEVE MINNIKIN MP ■'Member for Chatsworth Unit 1.
