The Coalition parties’ share of the vote puts them within reach of victory, but the way in which they work towards the next election—particularly in the area of policy development—will be crucial to them if they are to succeed.

  • Koala Protection Act Sent to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull
    23 May 2016 Australian Press Release: Koala Protection Act sent to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull Koala Foundation The Australian Koala Foundation (AKF) has written to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, Nationals Leader Barnaby Joyce and Greens Leader Richard A.C.N. 010 922 102 Di Natale today to request their support for a Koala Protection Act. The Koala Protection Act is a piece of national legislation that has been formulated by the AKF in consultation with legal teams in Australia and overseas focusing on protecting Koala habitat. Current legislation focuses on the Koala itself but not their habitat. A draft of the Act was enclosed, along with a Statutory Declaration for all leaders to sign prior to the election that states that they will seek to support the Koala via this legislation should they be re-elected. CEO of the AKF Deborah Tabart OAM said that the Act is based on the USA’s Bald Eagle Act that brought the Bald Eagle back from the brink of extinction. She said as Australia’s national icon, the Koala needs the same strength of purpose. “It is not our intention to offend the leaders by requesting they sign a Statutory Declaration, but rather a determination borne of frustration over the AKF’s 30-year experience,” said Ms Tabart. “Since 1988 when I was appointed as CEO of the AKF I have had conversations and correspondence with the who’s who of Australian politics; Environment Ministers at the Federal level and Premiers at the State level."[see notes below] Ms Tabart said the number of Environment Ministers in each State and the Mayors of the 320 Councils in Koala Habitat that she has also corresponded with is too high to remember.

  • MICHAEL BERKMAN ​MP Queensland Greens Member for Maiwar
    MICHAEL BERKMAN ​MP Queensland Greens Member for Maiwar 31 October 2018 Hon Mark Bailey MP Minister for Transport and Main Roads GPO Box 2644 BRISBANE QLD 4001 Via email: ​[email protected] Dear Minister Bailey, I am writing to convey concerns expressed by one of my constituents in relation to the roundabout that connects Boundary Road, Rouen Road and Rainworth Road. I understand that, given this is a State controlled road forming part of the regional road network, some issues such as crossings and signage may overlap State and local government jurisdiction. Accordingly, I am contacting both you and Paddington Ward Councillor Peter Matic to request assistance addressing the concerns outlined below, in the hope that this matter may be resolved quickly. I understand from my constituent, James, that cars frequently speed through the roundabout, either ignoring or unaware of the pedestrian crossing. James tells me he recently had a near-miss incident at the roundabout while pushing his 8 week old daughter in her pram; two cars rapidly passed through the roundabout, apparently unaware of him standing and waiting at the edge of the crossing. He believes that if he had exercised the right of way afforded by the pedestrian crossing, he and his daughter could have been seriously injured. Locals also tell me there are other issues with traffic along Boundary and Rouen Roads in that residential area, and in particular trucks frequently using their engine brake systems. Are you able to advise whether there are any existing plans to upgrade roads or improve signage in this area, or to undertake other traffic management strategies to accommodate this growing residential community? I would also request that your department: 1.

  • 2015 Queensland State Election: an Overview
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2015–16 17 SEPTEMBER 2015 2015 Queensland state election: an overview Dr Joy McCann and Simon Speldewinde Politics and Public Administration Section Executive summary • This paper provides an overview of the issues and outcomes for the January 2015 election for the Queensland Legislative Assembly. Where appropriate, it draws on the Library’s earlier publication on the 2012 Queensland state election.1 • The 2015 Queensland state election result surprised many observers with the dramatic shift in the fortunes of the two major parties. The Australian Labor Party (ALP), having lost government at the 2012 election and retaining just seven seats, emerged with 44 of the 89 seats with a swing of 10.8 per cent. The Liberal National Party (LNP), which had won a record majority of 78 of the 89 seats at the 2012 state election, experienced a swing of 8.3 per cent against it with its seats reduced to 42. Of the remaining seats, two were won by Katter’s Australian Party and one by Independent Peter Wellington. • The election outcome was initially unclear when it was revealed that a Palmer United Party candidate was ineligible as a result of being an undischarged bankrupt. Electoral Commission Queensland (ECQ) indicated that it would refer the Ferny Grove election result to the Court of Disputed Returns but subsequently decided not to proceed based on legal advice, paving the way for the ALP to form minority government with the support of an Independent. • Several key issues emerged during the election campaign including political financing, privatisation and asset sales, the impact of mining on the Great Barrier Reef and anti-association laws.

  • Maiden Speech
    Speech By Michael Berkman MEMBER FOR MAIWAR Record of Proceedings, 22 March 2018 MAIDEN SPEECH Mr BERKMAN (Maiwar—Grn) (4.52 pm): I begin, as so many have done before me, by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet—the Jagera and Turrbal people— and their ancient culture, traditions and lore. I stand here on their land and acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereignty has never been ceded—that this parliament sits on stolen land. If we are to make amends for the colonisation and the dispossession and genocide of the last 230 years—and we should—clear recognition of first nations’ sovereignty and the negotiation of treaties with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples must be a priority for our state, country and community. I pay my respects to elders past and present and I thank them for their ongoing custodianship of this vast and unique continent. I lament that since invasion we have not only disrupted your connection to country but fallen far short of following your example and fulfilling our duty to care for this land and preserve it for future generations. It was a great honour to have local elder Uncle Des Sandy attend as my guest for the opening of this parliament. We discussed that I was not only the first member of the Queensland Greens to be elected to this chamber but also the inaugural member for the newly created seat of Maiwar. He asked me a question that surprised me: ‘What does Maiwar mean?’ As I understood it, Maiwar was the local Indigenous people’s name for what we now call the Brisbane River, but Uncle Des’s response spoke volumes to me about the depth of his understanding of and connection to his country and just how much we have to learn from our first nations people.

  • Queensland January to June 2005 PAUL D
    Political Chronicles 595 Queensland January to June 2005 PAUL D. WILLIAMS Griffith University The Economy — Mixed News The year began satisfactorily for the government when a mid-year review forecast a revised budget surplus of $1.1 billion, or $450 million higher than expected (Courier- Mail, 13 January 2005). Equally pleasing was a Queensland unemployment rate of 4.3 per cent, which allowed Queensland, for the first time in twenty-five years, to boast Australia's lowest level (Courier-Mail, 8 April 2005). But some regions grew faster than others, with the Darling Downs becoming Queensland's "powerhouse" with an unemployment rate of just 2.3 per cent (Courier-Mail, 1 February 2005). The state's inflation rate of 0.5 per cent for the June quarter — or 2.5 per cent annually — remained comparable with the national average (www.abs.gov.au/ausstats) . Such robust growth encouraged the Beattie Government to resist Commonwealth proposals to further reform industrial relations. In 2003-04, exports valued at $26.2 billion showed a real decline of 3 per cent, while imports rose 10 per cent. Coal and beef were among the hardest hit, despite generating overall revenue of $8 billion (Courier-Mail, 2 February 2005). Other crises included the closure of a Bundaberg sugar processing plant with the loss of 100 jobs, and Queensland Rail's loss of contract with its largest freight customer, Toll Holdings, a loss attributed to cost increases of up to 48 per cent (Courier-Mail, 11, 22 February 2005). SEQ Infrastructure and the Budget — Counterbalance to Crises The Beattie Government pre-empted its own budget with the announcement in late April of its long-awaited Southeast Queensland Regional Plan, a bold $55 billion capital works vision covering some 230 separate projects designed to accommodate the one million additional residents expected to settle in the state's southeast over the next 596 Political Chronicles twenty years.

  • Submission to Senate Inquiry
    Submission to Inquiry by Senate Select Committee into Certain Aspects of Queensland Government Administration related to Commonwealth Government Affairs 1. The Select Committee was established to inquire into and report on a range of issues pertaining to aspects of Queensland Government administration relating to Commonwealth Government affairs including “any other matter the committee considers relevant”.1 It is submitted that as part of its work it would be reasonable for the Select Committee to inquire into the following matter. 2. In 2013 the Education, Employment and Workplace Relations References Committee of the Australian Senate reported on its inquiry into “Conditions of Employment of State Public Sector Employees”. The Committee had received submissions from many people who had been adversely affected by the Newman LNP Government’s decision in 2012 to cut the jobs of thousands of Queensland government workers (including those holding temporary and permanent positions). The majority report of the Committee, while supporting the managerial prerogative of State governments to make decisions pertaining to their respective public sector workforces,2 concluded: Public sector reform is a contentious issue. The committee understands that staffing reductions and voluntary redundancies can have a significant impact on the individual workers affected, as well as families and communities. The committee trusts that state governments do not make these decisions lightly, and carefully consider the consequences of such reforms.3 3. It is submitted that the Newman Government’s decision to cut thousands of public sector jobs was highly ill-considered given the devastating consequences it had not only for the individuals concerned and their families but also for the whole Queensland economy.
