  • 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.

  • Annual Report 2014-15 Rebuild Lives Renew Hope Restore Faith Rebuilding Lives Through Housing
    ANNUAL REPORT 2014-15 REBUILD LIVES RENEW HOPE RESTORE FAITH REBUILDING LIVES THROUGH HOUSING A REFLECTION OF ONE OF OUR MACKAY HOUSING OFFICERS SPEAKS VOLUMES TO THE LIFE-TRANSFORMING NATURE OF THE DAILY WORKS HELPING QUEENSLANDERS IN NEED. Do you wear pyjamas to bed? I had never really thought about that question. For people who have never experienced homelessness it is a given that at the end of each day we may change into sleepwear. A tenant called Steve* recently told me that for the first time in his life (he is 50) he owns and changes into pyjamas when he goes to bed. Initially, I didn’t think much about this comment but it sat with me – and when I saw him next I asked him more. Steve told me his story. His childhood was rough, his life had been a litany of bad situations made worse through abuse, crime, addiction, incarceration, ill health, self-neglect and ultimately through seven years of homelessness. For Steve, the small act of changing his clothes at the end of the day is now a sign of hope and an act of joy, because wearing them is only possible when you have a safe place to live. What many of us fail to consider is that you do not wear pyjamas when living on the streets. Steve’s pyjamas are the embodiment of what access to safe, affordable and secure accommodation is all about. Steve’s pyjamas embody the lessons he’s learned about maintaining and sustaining his housing, paying his rent, his bills, in weekly budgeting, doing the shopping, the cleaning, and the daily chores.
