Your comments are reported at page 74 of Hansard. Specifically you accused me as follows: • That you had written to me outlining your concerns about inter-governmental relations; • T ha t I had failed to respond to you; • That my failure to respond was due to my “partisan interests;” • That the failure to respond evidenced that I valued my “partisan interests" above my duty to my community; and • That by failing to respond I was “covering up" for the Prime Minister Your accusation that I had ignored such an important matter is something I take very seriously. Accordingly I instructed my staff to examine the records of both the Opposition Office and my electorate office. Despite an exhaustive search of the records and registers of my offices, there is no evidence that you have written to me since becoming Minister for Health on 12 December 2017. My staff have contacted your Ministerial office and requested from your staff on three occasions a copy of the correspondence in question which your office has been unable to provide. It is now clear that you have not written to me at all and the accusations you made against me in the H ouse are all false. Tclc|->hoiic O'' 38.38 676^ Stinail rccfption(«'apposition.qld.go\.au M ijieral 1 louse, Level 7, 4 I Cieorge Street, Brisbane Q kl 4000 • PC.) Box 'L50.‘'7, C ity East CJld 4002 On the first opportunity to show Queenslanders that you are focused on their interests and improving the Queensland health system, you instead made a sloppy and false political attack. You have fabricated these accusations and deliberately misled the House for your own political gain. Your conduct is unbecoming of a Member of Parliament and a Minister of the Crown, even in a Labor governm ent. Queenslanders will be rightly disappointed to know that instead of focusing on service delivery and improving Queensland’s health service, you are more interested in playing politics. As the Minister for Health and Minister for Ambulance Services, you have a vital role to play in protecting the health and wellbeing of many Queenslanders. In the interests of all Queenslanders who rely on our health service, I implore you to take your role seriously and apply your efforts diligently and tirelessly in service of all Queenslanders. You should reflect on your behaviour and the example you set. I look forward to receiving your apology to the House for your deliberately misleading statements at the next sitting of Parliament. I have copied this correspondence to the Speaker for him to consider referring you to the Ethics Committee for punishment. Yours sincerely / / / .

Curtis Pitt MP Speaker of the House Parliament House 1 6 FEB 2018 Cnr of Alice and George Streets BRISBANE Q 4000 In S Dear Sp|eaker On Thursday 15 February 201J I made the following statement to the House in response to a Question Without Notice from the Member for Lytton, referring to the Member for Nanango: "I have written to her and outlined In great detail how these funding cuts are affecting Queensland hospitals and health services in her HHS, but still we have not heard a word.” (Hansard, page 73), I wish to correct the record. On Wednesday 21 February 2018, my office received correspondence from the Member from Nanango, Ms Deb Frecklington in which she states that she had not received any correspondence from me. Subsequent investigations determined that although I approved correspondence addressed to the Member for Nanango and was of the understanding it had been sent, due to an administrative oversight in my office it was not sent. My office emailed a copy of the correspondence in question to the Member for Nanango’s parliamentary email address within two days of being alerted to the error. I apologise for inadvertently misleading the House.

I also note that your incorrect statement was due to an administrative error in your office, whereby relevant correspondence you had signed had not been sent to the Member and your apology for inadvertently misleading the House. I note that the recommended approach contained in the Code of Ethical Standards is as follows: M em bers shall correct the record in the House as soon as it is apparent a statem ent m ay be misleading Members may sometimes make incorrect or misleading statements in the House without actually Intending to mislead the House. Recklessness by a member resulting In Incorrect or misleading statements to the House is in Itself a serious matter. Members have a duty to correct the official record In the House as soon as It becomes apparent that their statements were Incorrect or could be misleading. Therefore, I would request that on the next sitting day (Tuesday 6 March 2018), at matters of privilege, you rise and correct the record and apologise in the same terms as your correspondence. Once you satisfactorily comply with this step, I will then have little difficulty in dismissing the matter under Standing Order 269(6) for the reasons given in Standing Order 269(4). I have copied the Leader of the Opposition into this letter as a matter of courtesy. I would ask that the Leader of the Opposition in turn oblige me with the courtesy of taking no further action and keeping this correspondence confidential until after you rise on the matter of privilege.

  • 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.

  • Andrew Powell
    Speech By Andrew Powell MEMBER FOR GLASS HOUSE Record of Proceedings, 11 March 2021 ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Mr POWELL (Glass House—LNP) (12.08 pm): I acknowledge the Governor of Queensland and I am privileged to again rise to reply to his address, the fifth time I have had the opportunity to do so. At the outset I acknowledge the people of Glass House. To those of you who voted for me and for the LNP, I say thank you. To those of you who did not, I also say thank you. It is because of you I remain humble. Let me be honest: while I accept the outcome of the 2020 election, I am bitterly disappointed. I am disappointed that Deb Frecklington, the member for Nanango, is not the Premier of this great state. The member for Nanango has to be the hardest working, most personable, friendly and genuine leader I have had the privilege of working alongside. I commend her for all of the effort she put in not only during the election campaign but across the three years of her leadership. Queenslanders will only know in the future what they have missed out on with the member for Nanango not becoming the Premier. I am equally disappointed that the member for Nanango’s vision for Queensland will not come to fruition—a vision that, as the then shadow minister for infrastructure, manufacturing, planning and a range of other things, would have seen an economy booming through investment in infrastructure, roads, dams, the New Bradfield Scheme and, more importantly, in frontline services to ensure all Queenslanders get their health needs met, their education needs provided for and their child protection and youth justice needs delivered.

  • Urgent Response Needed to COVID-19 in Places of Detention
    Queensland Human Rights H§§ Queensland Commission KMl'i Law Society, 27 March 2020 The Hon Annastacia Palaszczuk MP The Hon Deb Frecklington MP Premier and Minister for Trade Leader of the Opposition By email only Dear Premier and Leader of the Opposition Urgent response needed to COVID-19 in Places of Detention We write regarding the growing threat that prisons and youth detention centres pose to the spread of COVID-19 in the Queensland community. The news that a corrections officer in Brisbane has tested positive for COVID-19 highlights the very real possibility that corrective institutions could be a source of an outbreak, with the virus spreading between inmates and staff, and then affecting people in the community. We welcome the planning that agencies have undertaken to date regarding the safety of officers and the wellbeing of those in your care. We are conscious, all the same, that the youth detention centres are at capacity and the prisons are nearing that position. This situation makes it extremely difficult for agencies to manage social distancing within the facilities. We request that the Government and the Opposition urgently support the establishment and resourcing of a streamlined process for bail applications and for parole applications. This may require some legislative amendment, or it may be a matter of relevant government agencies, the courts and the legal profession working together to put in place an efficient process to handle a high volume of applications in the coming weeks. This will ensure that the health and safety of the community is protected and that sound decisions are made according to law in individual cases.
