  • Peter Lawlor, MP, and the Queensland Government TABLE of CONTENTS Lt1troductlon
    Statement of Peter Joseph Lawlor I, Peter Joseph Lawlor of care of Gall Standfield & Smith, Solicitors, PO Box 259 Southport in the State of Queensland do solemnly and sincerely declare that: 1. I was the Member for Southport in the Queensland Parliament for the period between 2001 and 2012. 2. I was admitted to practice as a solicitor in Queensland in 1981 and practised as such until I was elected to Parliament in 2001. 3. I was the Minister for Tourism and Fair Trading between 26 March 2009 and 20 February 2011. In this role I had responsibility for racing in Queensland. The relevant government unit responsible for racing during this time was the Office of Racing within the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation. 4. I have had a long interest in thoroughbred racing. I was a committee member of the Gold Coast Turf Club (GCTC) for 15 years prior to 2002 when I resigned my position after having been elected to the Queensland Parliament. Prior to my resignation, I was the Deputy Chairman of the GCTC. I was also a member of the Racing Appeal Authority from about 1994 until I entered parliament in 2001. 5. I did not consider that it was my role as Minister to be actively involved in the management of any code of racing in Queensland. My understanding of the recent history of racing in Queensland is that the industry itself had sought independence from government. This was required for membership of the Australian Racing Board, which was necessary to play any role in the development of the Australian Rules of Racing and related regulatory matters.
