J. BJELKE-PETERSEN (Barambah—Premier) (11.3 a.m.): I deshe to inform the House that His Excellency the Governor, by virtue of the provisions of the Officials in Parliament Act 1896-1975, authorised and empowered the Honourable Llewellyn Roy Edwards, MB, BS, MLA, Deputy Premier and Treasurer, to perform and exerdse aU or any of the duties, powers and authorities imposed or conferred upon the Minister for Health by any Act, rule, practice or ordinance, on and from 10 November 1981, and until the return to Queensland of the Honourable Brian Douglas Austin, DipCE, MIEAust, MLA. I lay upon the table of the House a copy of the Queensland Govemment Gazette of 7 November 1981 notifying this arrangement. Whereupon the honourable gentleman laid the Queensland Government Gazette on the table. Grounding of "Anro Asia" Hon. V, J. BIRD (Burdekin—Minister for Northern Development and Maritime Services) (11.9 a.m.): The grounding of the "Anro Asia", which occurred shortly after the adjournment of the House for the recent recess, has been a major iriciddit in the history of maritime activities in this State and it is appropriate that for the benefit of honourable members I should recount some of the steps taken in relation to the grpunding. The "Anro Asia" grounded in clear weather at approximately 7.30 p.m. on 29 October, at the northern tip of Bribie Island. The cause of the grounding will be the subject of a proper marine inquiry and it is not appropriate that I should make any comment on this aspect other than to say that the vessel failed to round a buoy just south of the Caloundra headland and grounded under power on a rock shelf just off the beach. In the initial impact, seven storage tanks on the vessel were ruptured. Four of them were ballast tanks and the other three were oU fuel storage tanks. In the initial stages, it was not clear precisely what underwater damage had occurred, but it was quickly established that 1 157 tonnes of fuel oil and 233 tonnes of diesel fuel were aboard the vessel. The question of possible oU pollution therefore became a major consideration, particularly as oil was already escaping Into the sea. The standing procedures for the combating of oil poUution were therefore swung into effect. Under these arrangements the Department of Harbours and Marine maintains a vikoma boom which is capable of containing oU in the water under reasonably smooth conditions. The standing arrangements with the Commonwealth Govemment under what is known as the National Plan for the Combating of Oil Pollution are that further equipment held in other Australia ports may be moved to crisis points as required. The boom held by my department reached the site at approximately 10 a.m. on Friday, 30 October, and was placed in a position where it would prevent the entry of oil into Pumicestone Passage, where it was considered the oil would do the greater damage to small craft and fish and bird life than it would if kept in the open sea. During Friday, 30 October, officers of the Department of Harbours and Marine had discussions with the agents for the owners of the vessel and indicated that a high priority would be given to oil pollution aspects and that early steps should be taken to pump remaining fuel oil from the vessel. It was considered that the diesel fuel could be left on Ministerial Statements 16 November 1981 3261 board as it would be needed for manoeuvring the vessel when it was rdloated, bearing, also in mind that such fuel would quickly evaporate if spUled into the sea and would cause Uttle damage. Durinjg Saturday, 31 October, the owners of the vessel negotiated with salvage contractors for the salvage of the vessel. In due course a salvage contract was let and the salvage consortium proceeded to take steps to acquire vessels and equipment needed for the salvage operation. These negotiations proceeded during Sunday, I November, and on Sunday eve^jing a conference was held between the owners' agents, the salvage operators, the insurers pf the vessel, in respect of oU pollution aspects, and officers of my department and the Port of Brisbane Authority to discuss the proposals for the salvage of the vessel and the steps which should be taken in respect of the possible oil pollution problem. Unfortunately, during 1 November, unfavourable weather conditions had caused the first vikoma boom to sink and the vessel used for the storage of the boom was subsequently smashed by rough seas. In the meantime, another boom had been flown up from Sydney and placed in position. Although at that point of time the escape of oil from the vessel was limited to the amount squeezed out of the tanks as the vessel settled onto the beach, fears were held that, if the rough conditions continued, the vessel may break up and cause a major spill. It was again stressed to the salvors that priority should be given to getting the remaining fuel oil off the vessel. Unfortunately, the obtaining of a fuel-carrying barge was a major difficulty for the salvors. By Sunday evening a barge with a capacity of about 500-800 tonnes had been obtained, but this was primarily required to move, to the site, ground tackle to be used in stabilising the vessel. It was necessary for the barge to be held for the loading of this equipment and then dispatched to Caloundra. Difficulty in pumping the fuel oil from the vessel to the barge was also foreseen, an average pumping rate of about 10 tonnes per hour being predicted. The salvage operators had made arrangements for a small tanker to be brought to the area, but the earliest this could be anticipated to reach the site was Thursday, 5 November, when it would be used to continue taking off oil in excess of the carrying capacity of the barge. From the discussions with the parties involved, my department was satisfied that the utmost was being done to avoid an oil pollution problem, bearing in mind the major priority of saving the vessel itself from destruction which, if it occurred before the fuel was pumped off, would inevitably involve a major oil spillage. Unfortunately, adverse weather conditions continued during the following day, causing the beaching of the second boom brought into position on the Sunday. However, additional equipment brought from Victoria had been placed in readiness on the shores of Pumicestone Passage so that any oil entering the passage could be recovered. Arrangements were also made for a troil boom to be dispatched from Adelaide, primarily to have such boom in position when the vessel was refloated in case the refloating operation caused further significant spUlage. On Tuesday, 3 November, I visited the vessel and spoke to the master. Captain Lockwood, and the marine superintendent for the owners. Captain Macgregor. The latter had been flown from Singapore to participate in the making of arrangements for the salvage of the vessel. During the next two days work continued on the temporary patching of the vessel and the removal of some of the container cargo by Chinook helicopters.

  • Hansard 9 April 2002
    9 Apr 2002 Legislative Assembly 639 TUESDAY, 9 APRIL 2002 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE Berri Ltd Mr SEENEY (Callide—NPA) (9.31 a.m.): On Monday, 11 March a number of media outlets carried reports claiming that I had lied to this parliament when I asked a question of the Minister for State Development on 8 March. This is a very serious accusation and it has been repeated a number of times by both the Premier and the Deputy Premier. The claim is demonstrably wrong. I did not lie to this parliament, nor did I mislead this parliament on 8 March or at any other time. The question that I asked referred to concerns that had been raised with me by a constituent relating to state government grants. Mr Speaker, I wish to table some documents pertaining to that issue. I table a copy of a telephone log from 8 August last year from my electorate office and a copy of my diary from 9 August last year, both of which record the initial contact that I had on this issue with my constituent. One is in my secretary's handwriting and one is in mine. Mr Speaker, I also table a document supplied by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission which is a current and historical search on Berri New South Wales Ltd, the corporate entity which received the grant. Under sections 168 to 171 of the Corporations Act, Berri Ltd has a statutory responsibility to ensure that this public record is correct.

  • Address-In-Reply 6 Sep 2018
    2380 Address-in-Reply 6 Sep 2018 this consultation draft now so that the parliament, the waste and recycling industry, councils and the community can consider the full package of proposed amendments to legislation to implement the waste levy. Information about consultation will be provided on the Department of Environment and Science’s website. Since March this year, when the government announced our intention to accept the recommendation of the Lyons report and introduce a waste levy to underpin our waste strategy, we have been undertaking comprehensive consultation with a range of stakeholders to ensure we hear everyone’s voices. I look forward to continuing consultation as the bill progresses through parliament, and as the regulations are discussed. Queenslanders are increasingly conscious of waste as an economic and environmental issue. This bill delivers a key enabler of change. The waste levy will provide an incentive for people to reduce the waste they create and find more productive and job-creating uses for their waste. Importantly, the bill also ensures that it will not cost Queenslanders any more to put out their wheelie bin. It is not hard to see the long-term economic and environmental benefits that this levy will bring to Queensland. Through the introduction of a waste levy and a new waste strategy, we can work towards a more sustainable future for generations of Queenslanders to come. I commend the bill to the House. First Reading Hon. LM ENOCH (Algester—ALP) (Minister for Environment and the Great Barrier Reef, Minister for Science and Minister for the Arts) (11.29 am): I move— That the bill be now read a first time.

  • How to Write a Good Letter to the Editor: QLD a Guide to Writing Awesome, Powerful Letters
    How to write a good letter to the editor: QLD A Guide to writing awesome, powerful letters Letters to the editor of local papers are an excellent way for politicians to gauge what the public is thinking. This is a how-to guide for writing powerful and useful letters that can inform the public debate around Adani’s coal project. What makes a good letter? Some tips: ● The best letters are short, snappy and succinct - never longer than 200 ​ ​ words. ● Try to limit your letter to one central idea so it is clear and easy to read. Don’t ​ ​ be afraid to use humour if it suits! ● Good letters are timely if they are in response to a big announcement or ​ ​ event. This means written and sent on the same day. ● Back-up your claims with facts where appropriate. There are many ​ resources on our website (see below for links). ● Try to weave in a personal story if you can and it is fitting. For example: ​ ​ ○ I’m a tourist operator on the Reef and Adani’s coal mine will put my business in jeopardy. ○ I am a teacher and see school students are very attuned to the impact of climate change on the Reef and Adani’s role in this. ○ I went to visit the Reef last year and am saddened by the fact the QLD Government is ignoring coral bleaching events in favour of more coal mining. ○ I’m a Townsville resident who has experienced the mining industry’s boom-bust cycles and I think the future of Townsville should be solar.

  • Local Knowledge and Global Power by Steve Butler
    ISSN 1444­3775 2006 Issue No. 13 — Making Badlands Making Badlands All Over the World: Local Knowledge and Global Power By Steve Butler “And so a remote backwater on the Central Queensland coast finds itself in the sights of the Pentagon’s new global strategy” (Dirty War ). In Seven Versions of an Australian Badland Ross Gibson suggests that badlands are constitutive of community, a necessary evil enabling good to flourish elsewhere. Bob Hawke’s recent proposal for turning Australia’s “dead heart” into the world’s nuclear waste dump (AM. ABC. 27 Sept. 2005) is a classic example of badland making and a timely reminder of the relevance of Gibson’s book. Closer to my home, on the Capricorn Coast of Central Queensland, several controversies are brewing about the uses to which our lands are put. [1] According to Gibson “Life in Central Queensland is a direct continuation of the systems that formed a new society during the frontier era” (54). He argues: “conflict, coercion and dissimulation defined the ‘community’ . rather than the integration and stewardship of the land” (106). The more things change, the more they stay the same: several examples of neo-colonialism threatening to turn more of the Capricorn region into a badland will be cited in this essay to show how “the past produces the present” (2-3). I intend to engage with some of the environmental issues facing the region through a prism of texts circulating in the local culture: films, newspaper articles, letters to the editor, web sites and journal articles, in an attempt to foreground the way that social realities are discursively constructed.
