Queensland Parliamentary Debates [Hansard] Legislative Assembly THURSDAY, 15 OCTOBER 1981 Electronic reproduction of original hardcopy Ministerial Statements 15 October 1981 2613 THURSDAY, 15 OCTOBER 1981 Mf SPEAKER (Hon. S. J. MuUer, Fasafern) read prayers and took the chair at 11 a.m, ' '../ , I*APERS The foUowing papers were laid on the table, and ordered to be printed:— ' Reports— State Fire Services CouncU for 1980-81 - . Rural Fires Board of Queensland for 1980-81 Queensland National Fitness Council for Sport and Physical Recreation for 1980-81 Noise Abatement Authority for 1980-81 The foUowing papers were laid on the table:— Orders in CoimcM imder— Financial Administration and Audit Act 1977-1978 Itorbours Act 1955-1980 Metropolitan Transit Authority Act 1976-1979 Twentieth Report of the Totalisator Admin^tration Board of Queen^and for the year ended 30 June 1981 MINISTERIAL STAlEMENTS Queensland Film Corporation; "Holiday World" Television Series Hon. J. A. ELLIOTT (Cunningham—Minister for Tourism, National Parks, Sport and The Arts) (11.3 a.m.): On Tuesday, 13 October, the honourable member for Lytton made attacks on two members of rhy department, well knowing that they, as public servants, cannot defend themselves. He referred to the Deputy Co-ordinator of the Department of The Arts, National Parks and Sport, Mr Allen CaUaghan, and to the Director of Sport, Mr Stan Wilcox. In his usual carel^s handling of the truth, the member for Lytton implied that Mr CaUaghan had been appointed to a position in my department and then became the Director of the Queensland Film Corporation. The member for Lytton went on to say— "He (Mr CaUaghan) is such a good operator that when a television series called 'Holiday World' was being made, a plastic island was set up in Melboume. He could not even convince the producers to make the picture on an island off the Queensland coast. If honourable members do not believe that they can check it out. They can send the Melboume man back to have a look." Firstly, Mr C!aUaghan is chairman of the Queensland Film Corporation as part of his duties as deputy coordinator. He does not receive any additional salary or allowances. Since he became chairman, four feature films and the television series "SUent Reach" have been shot in Queensland, and four more feature fibns are scheduled. Mr Bums: I wUl show you a photo of the plastic island. Mr BLLIOTr: The honourable member would do better to keep to bit parts, such as playing barman, as he is fairly well known for that. The series to which the member for Lytton referred was caUed "HoHday Island" and was made for the Channel 0/10 network. The Queensland Film Corporation was approached to invest in the series on the basis that it would be filmed entirely in studios in Melboume. The corporation decUned the proposal because there would be no benefit to Queensland. I was parliamentary representative on the corporation at that time, and the Queensland Film Corporation had doubts about the viability of the series. The corporation's judgment was vindicated when it was canceUed after a few episodes. I would also point out that both Mr CJallaghan and Mr WUcox were permanent members of the Public Service when they were appointed and stiU are eligible to apply for any position. 2614 15 October 1981 Ministerial Statements Steaming Coal Hon. I. J. GIBBS (Albert—^Minister for Mines and Energy) (11.6 a.m.): I am taking this opportunity to answer the totally inaccurate statement made by the honourable member for Nudgee in the House yesterday. His continual complaint that Queensland is underselling its steaming-coal resources is becoming somewhat boring. Never has Blair Athol Coal Pty Ltd released pricing detaUs of the contract to supply 72 miUion tonnes of fuel coal over 15 years to the Electric Power Development Company Ltd and Japan Coal Development Company Ltd; nor does the State Govemment expect it to release these details. The ALP shows an abysmal ignorance of the fiercely competitive world steaming-coal market and Queensland's ability to obtain a share of that market. It is primarUy the concern of the company at what price it seUs its coal. It is strictly a business deal in the free-enterprise society, endorsed by this Govemment but not by the Opposition. The companies are developing the coal reserves to make a profit. They make their profits through their ability to sell coal in the world market and by remaining competitive. The world is not just sitting back waiting for production to begin at Blair Athol. Overseas buyers can sign contracts in many countries, including the USSR and China. We cannot control the price of the free market. Far from being a "sell-out" as the honourable member suggested, the contract on an energy adjusted basis provides the highest f.o.b. price ever negotiated anywhere in the world for a long-term agreement of this nature. Mr Vaughan showed his complete ignorance on mining matters yesterday when he asked what the term "energy adjusted" meant. For his sake, and that of other members of the Opposition who are quick to criticise without knowing the facts, I inform him that "energy adjusted" means that different prices are paid according to the thermal value. In other words, payment is made for the energy received from the coal, not for the actual tonnage. My advice to the honourable member would be to refrain from making statements about matters pertaining to mining and energy untU he fuUy understands these simple terms and definitions. Queensland's known reserves of steaming coal have more than doubled in the last decade to 7 (XX) mUlion tonnes. The Quensland Government has first caU on all steaming-coal deposits and will continue to ensure that adequate reserves are retained for domestic power- generation needs. The expansion of the Blair Athol mine to meet export commitments would mean jobs for 450 workers during the construction phase and provide direct employment for a work­ force of 370 when the mine reaches full production. The contract provides for deliveries to commence in 1984 at the rate of 3 milUon tonnes per annum, rising to 5 miUion tonnes per annum in subsequent years. Finally, for the honourable member to suggest that the Blair Athol contract be renegotiated with Government involvement is to spell out clearly the ALP's intention to nationalise the mining industry should it ever return to power. Governments should never become involved in such operations. They merely create the right economic climate for free enterprise to succeed. Indeed, this policy has been successful. One only has to remember back to the pre-1957 days when the mining industry was struggUng to survive, let alone making a profit. Under free enterprise, the mining industry has flourished. That policy has seen the value of the State's mineral production escalate from a mere $108m 20 years ago to $1,813m last year. (Queensland is now a decentralised State, the economy is healthy and its people enjoy many more benefits as a result. One wonders what the ALP would do with the mining industry when it cannot even control the affairs of its own party. Allegations by Member for Archerfield About IUegal GambUng Casinos Hon. R. J. HINZE (South Coast—Minister for Local Government, Main Roads and Police) (11.10 a.m.): On Tuesday of this week, the honourable meniber for Archerfield used the protection offered by this House to cast a slur on the integrity of aU members present and senior officers of the Queensland Police Force. Ministerial Statements 15 October 1981 2615 The honourable member's allegations of the existence of iUegal gambling casinos, a (Queensland mafia controUed by a body of godfathers, and his comparison of the Fortitude Valley area to Kings Cross in Sydney, are a malicious exaggeration and cannot go unchallenged. The accusations attracted considerable media attention and gave the impression that police had ignored the existence and operation of large-scale iUegal gaming and vice in the VaUey area. Quite simply, that is not tme. Yesterday, in this House, I provided the honourable member for Archerfield with a unique opportunity to restore his credibility. The honourable member has become infamous for his wUd and unfounded allegations and for his apparent interest in prostitution, Ulegal gammg and violence, for reasons best known to himself. Approximately 24 hours ago I called on the honourable member to provide to this House any evidence he had to substantiate his alarming accusations. I also provided the honourable member with an opportunity of discussing his particular claims with the Commissioner of Police and his senior officers. I have to inform the House that not one single scrap of evidence has been produced by the honourable member to back up that very serious matter. The honourable member for Archerfield contacted the Commissioner of Police yesterday afternoon and again bluntly refused to provide detail of his allegations. One would have thought that the unique opportunities made available to the honourable member opposite to assist poUce in their inquiries would have been taken advantage of. It is now quite obvious, Mr Speaker, that the honourable member for Archerfield does not have any evidence to back up his claims. Following my ministerial statement to Parliament yesterday, the honourable member for Archerfield virtually sprinted up to the "Press" room on level 6 of this buUding in a last-ditch bid to save his credibility. He made various panicky statements to the effect that it was not his responsibiUty to produce evidence. Again last night, on the television program "Today Tonight", the interviewer, John Barton, made a complete fool of the honourable member.

Watson played a large role in nineteenth century society as a property owner, politician and builder, and he had worked as a contractor on buildings designed by Stombuco. The building was constructed during the boom of the 1880s, when masonry buildings began to replace timber shops in the Valley. It was leased to a range of small business tenants, whose nationalities (Chinese, Greek and German) reflected the multicultural nature of the Valley from the late nineteenth century. History Until the mid-1880s, Wickham Street was a quiet and sparsely populated street. Although the section between Duncan and Brunswick Streets hosted the Roman Catholic chapel from the late 1850s and the Prince Consort hotel from the early 1860s, Anne Street (as it was then spelled) was the main commercial district of Fortitude Valley. The Valley itself was a quiet and sparsely populated town until the 1880s, when an economic boom encouraged the construction of brick and stone buildings, replacing wooden ones. Residents of the Valley also began demanding better services, including improved transport, roads and sewage systems.

It also provides evidence of the continuing development of Hamilton during the late nineteenth century as one of Brisbane’s most elite residential suburbs where many fine homes were built overlooking the Brisbane River. History This striking Victorian residence was designed by Brisbane architects, John Hall & Son circa 1887 for Mrs Kate Quinlan. Kate Quinlan was a partner in the firm of Fitzgerald, Quinlan and Co. that established the Castlemaine Brewery at Milton in 1877-78. Mrs Quinlan named her new home Marie Ville. Marie Ville is built on the lower slopes of Toorak Hill at Hamilton, overlooking Kingsford-Smith Drive (once named Hamilton Road) and the Brisbane River. During Brisbane’s penal period, this area was the thoroughfare leading to the Female Factory at Eagle Farm. In the decades after free settlement, the district became one of Brisbane’s most elite residential enclaves, with the construction of the stone mansions of Toorak and Eldernell (later Bishopsbourne) on Toorak and Hamilton Hills in the 1860s.

  • STOMBUCO Andrea Giovanni

    STOMBUCO Andrea Giovanni

    Andrea Stombuco (John Oxley Library, State Library of Queensland) Andrea Giovanni Stombuco (c.1820-1907) was born in Florence, Italy. Newspaper death notices state that he was born in 1820, conflictingly an 1882 oath of allegiance states he was 44 years old, and cemetery records note that he was 82 years old when he died in early 1907!. Stombuco left Italy when he was quite young and travelled extensively in Russia and America. He then spent some years in South Africa, where he is said to have owned a quarry and worked in the stone-building industry. At Cape Town he married fifteen year old Jean Frances Miles in late1849. The discovery of gold in Australia drew Stombuco to Victoria in 1851; he travelled to the Eaglehawk diggings near Bendigo with Jean and their infant daughter Marie. Andrea turned to sculpture, monumental masonry, building and later, architecture. He endeavours to establish a position as a sculptor included a group of statuary executed in cement, wax and marble - exhibited in the rotunda of the Intercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne in 1866, colloquially known as Judge Barry's Exhibition. He worked in Melbourne, was contractor for Catholic churches at Kyneton, Malmsbury and Taradale (all north-west of Melbourne on the road to Bendigo), and for some of the stonework of Ballarat Cathedral. Stombuco moved to Goulburn, NSW in 1869, where he was appointed Catholic diocesan architect by Bishop William Lanigan. He carried out a number of projects there, but is best known for the first part of the nave of the Cathedral of St Peter & Paul at Goulburn in 1871-72.

    The Influence of the National Park Concept on Kosciusko National Park

    THE INFLUENCE OF THE NATIONAL PARK CONCEPT ON KOSCIUSKO NATIONAL PARK By MONICA MCDONALD BA(Hons) Australian National University A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Resource and Environmental Studies. February 1981 i DECLARATION Except where otherwise indicated, this dissertation is my own work. (Monica McDonald) February 1981 ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I wish to thank the New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service for granting me access to the Kosciusko National Park Files and the Service's staff at Sawpit Creek for their aid in this respect. Many thanks also to Alec Costin for supervising my researches. iii ABSTRACT An introductory study of the development of the national park concept and its influence upon decision-making and the ecological condition of the Kosciusko National Park. The study concentrates upon conflicts and the contradictions within the national park concept and between the national park land use and other land uses. These conflicts centre around the aims of national parks to preserve the natural ecological condition of an area and to allow public recreational use of that area. Further complications arise over the definitions of 'natural ecological condition' and 'democratic public use'. The history of Kosciusko National Park from 1944 (when it was established as Kosciusko State Park) to 1980 demonstrates the continued lack of resolution of these conflicts, from a period when little was known about natural l ecosystem management to the present, when the ecological impacts of recreational uses are more widely understood. An additional feature of the Park's history has been the making of decisions important for the area's preservation as a national park without consideration of basic national park aims.
