Some ten families sit on rows of plastic chairs on the brand new concrete veranda, waiting. The officer, holstering a revolver, walks past the young kids, who hardly pay him any attention, and stops in front of some men and women. He hands them little strips of paper to rub against the inside of their forearm for traces of drugs. The next day, drug detection dogs on the leash sniff us.

  • Queensland July to December, 2008
    Political Chronicles 279 Queensland July to December, 2008 PAUL D. WILLIAMS School of Humanities, Griffith University Overview The second half of 2008 underscored the end of Premier Anna Bligh's honeymoon with the Queensland electorate. Media and public outrage over an alleged lack of ministerial and bureaucratic integrity, continuing policy crises in water, health and education, and the spectre of a successfully merged Liberal-National Party all haunted government strategists powerless to halt Labor's public opinion decline. As the global financial crisis bit into Queensland's economy, it seemed all a "small target" LNP Opposition had to do was wait. July The period opened explosively when District Court Judge Hugh Boning dismissed charges against paedophile Dennis Ferguson on the grounds his notoriety would prevent a fair trial. Botting's judgment would be overturned in August after Attorney- General Kerry Shine ordered the Director of Prosecutions to appeal, but not before igniting fears of the allegedly errant surgeon Dr Jayant Patel — the so-called "Dr Death" of Bundaberg Hospital — escaping justice on similar grounds (see previous Chronicles). In the interim, the now released Ferguson was forced to relocate several 280 Political Chronicles times around South East Queensland, under expensive police protection, to evade angry local mobs. But the real soap opera belonged to the Liberal and National parties. On the eve of their merger, billionaire businessman Clive Palmer raised questions of political influence when he allegedly donated $100,000 to the cash-strapped Coalition (Courier Mail, 2 July 2008). Despite declaring an early intention to become inaugural Liberal- National Party (LNP) president, incumbent Liberal President Mal Brough soon dropped out, leaving just a Liberal Gary Spence and Nationals' President Bruce McIver.

  • Community Cabinet Presentation to Hon Minister Cameron Dick (Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning) Toowoomba 25Th September 2018
    Community Cabinet Presentation to Hon Minister Cameron Dick (Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning) Toowoomba 25th September 2018 Minister, thank you for this opportunity to make a statement on behalf of the Highfields District Business Connections (HDBC) to outline our vision for the Highfields Lifestyle Enterprise Precinct (HLEP). Since 2003 Highfields has doubled its population with today’s figure estimated to be nearly 13,500. Over the next 18 years it is projected to grow by 63% to approx 22,000. This growth has been great for the region and council has done it’s best to plan for this expansion. However, the evidence is, that due to the proximity of Highfields to the Toowoomba CBD, strong growth and good local planning has not been able to shift the markets-pressure that has now shaped the commercial heart of Highfields into a dormitory suburb, with restricted business opportunity, limited services and small numbers of, generally low skilled, local employment. Two Years ago, in July 2016, HDBC accepted the government’s challenge for local communities to bring solutions to government rather than complaints. A community grant from Heritage Bank’s Crows Nest Community Branch has enabled us to engage the specialist mentoring of Robert Prestipino & Kate Charters, and allowed us to work with our community leaders to develop a catalyst for regional economic development that responds to local values, aligns with government policy and is attractive to corporate investors. The Highfields Lifestyle Enterprise Precinct is a bold and innovative vision for a 19.6ha greenfield site in the heart of Highfields.
