  • Ap2 Final 16.2.17
    PALASZCZUK’S SECOND YEAR AN OVERVIEW OF 2016 ANN SCOTT HOWARD GUILLE ROGER SCOTT with cartoons by SEAN LEAHY Foreword This publication1 is the fifth in a series of Queensland political chronicles published by the TJRyan Foundation since 2012. The first two focussed on Parliament.2 They were written after the Liberal National Party had won a landslide victory and the Australian Labor Party was left with a tiny minority, led by Annastacia Palaszczuk. The third, Queensland 2014: Political Battleground,3 published in January 2015, was completed shortly before the LNP lost office in January 2015. In it we used military metaphors and the language which typified the final year of the Newman Government. The fourth, Palaszczuk’s First Year: a Political Juggling Act,4 covered the first year of the ALP minority government. The book had a cartoon by Sean Leahy on its cover which used circus metaphors to portray 2015 as a year of political balancing acts. It focussed on a single year, starting with the accession to power of the Palaszczuk Government in mid-February 2015. Given the parochial focus of our books we draw on a limited range of sources. The TJRyan Foundation website provides a repository for online sources including our own Research Reports on a range of Queensland policy areas, and papers catalogued by policy topic, as well as Queensland political history.5 A number of these reports give the historical background to the current study, particularly the anthology of contributions The Newman Years: Rise, Decline and Fall.6 Electronic links have been provided to open online sources, notably the ABC News, Brisbane Times, The Guardian, and The Conversation.

  • Queensland Election 2009
    Parliament of Australia Department of Parliamentary Services Parliamentary Library Information, analysis and advice for the Parliament RESEARCH PAPER www.aph.gov.au/library 2 June 2009, no. 34, 2008–09, ISSN 1834-9854 Queensland election 2009 Dr Mark Rodrigues Politics and Public Administration Section Executive summary • The 2009 Queensland state election, held six months early on Saturday 21 March 2009, was announced on YouTube by Labor Premier Anna Bligh. • In order to defeat the 11 year old Government, the newly merged Liberal National Party (LNP) lead by Lawrence Springborg, required a substantial swing of 8.3 per cent to gain an additional 20 seats. • This was the first election in Australia since the onset of the global economic downturn. Jobs and management of the economy were dominant themes in the election campaign. New electoral boundaries and three tropical cyclones also framed the context for the election. • Under the banner of ‘Keep Queensland strong’, Labor primarily campaigned on creating 100 000 new jobs, maintaining its record spending on infrastructure and developing a football stadium on the Gold Coast. • The LNP campaigned on ‘Change for a better Queensland’ and proposed to apply a three per cent funding cut to public sector spending, maintain two children’s hospitals in Brisbane, and implement a $726.9 million infrastructure investment program. • Pre-election polling indicated a tight finish with the LNP ahead 51–49 on a two-party preferred basis. However, despite a 4.7 per cent (first preference) swing against Labor, the Government was returned with 51 of the 89 seats. Bligh became the first female to be elected Premier in Australia.

Australian Politicians’ use of the Social Network Tool Twitter To be published in the Australian Journal of Political Science 45(4) 2010 Will J Grant,1 Brenda Moon2 and Janie Busby Grant3 --------- The recent emergence of online social media has had a significant effect on the contemporary political landscape, yet our understanding of this remains less than complete. This article adds to current understanding of the online engagement between politicians and the public by presenting the first quantitative analysis of the utilisation of the social network tool Twitter by Australian politicians. The analysis suggests that politicians are attempting to use Twitter for political engagement, though some are more successful in this than others. Politicians are noisier than Australians in general on Twitter, though this is due more to broadcasting than conversing. Those who use Twitter to converse appear to gain more political benefit from the platform than others.

    Queensland Legislative Assembly i Nmnber:_gCoOorA(fe<^ lobled Dj------ 8y leave Perk's Signature:. 17 June 2020 1 i JUN 2020 Hon. Curtis Pitt MP is; %- Speaker of the Legislative Assembly 3 * Dear Mr Speaker I am writing to ask you to refer the Member for Miller to the Ethics Committee for misleading the House. This matter relates to a baseless claim made during the time for Ministerial Statements about the procurement of the New Generation Rollingstock program. I have attached submissions to assist you in making this determination. If you require any additional material, please do not hesitate to contact me. SHADOW MINISTER FOR TRANSPORT AND MAIN ROADS MEMBER FOR CHATSWORTH SUBMISSIONS CONCERNING A MATTER OF PRIVILEGE OF DELIBERATELY MISLEADING THE HOUSE FACTUAL MATTERS 1. This matter arises from the Member for Miller’s (the Member) contribution during Ministerial Statements on 21 May 2020, as reported in Hansard at page 1058: The LNP talks about backing business, but history shows otherwise. They abandoned Queensland workers when they sent contracts overseas to build trains. I/Ve returned those contracts to Queensland, where they belong. Queensland Rail has an agreement with Downer that will support local rail jobs in Maryborough for years to come. This partnership supports Maryborough’s economy, nurtures a new generation of skilled rail workers, and ensures projects are delivered by Queenslanders for Queensland. (Emphasis added) 2. The New Generation Rollingstock Train Commission of Inquiry Final Report was comprehensively accepted by the Palaszczuk Government. It found that it was the Bligh Labor Government who commenced the process to purchase new trains other than by a direct contract with EDI Rail- Bombardier.
