PRIVILEGE Comments by Member for Callide Mr SPEAKER: In a column entitled “Callide Comment” in the Central and North Burnett Times dated 17 December 1992 the honourable member for Callide, Mrs McCauley, wrote— “During the last week of Parliament the deputy leader of the Coalition, Mrs Joan Sheldon moved a motion without notice, ‘that this House calls upon the public works parliamentary committee to urgently investigate all aspects of the Brisbane Casino tender process.’ ” The Treasurer, Mr De Lacy, amended the motion to read after the word “that”— “the current code of conduct for public officials as it relates to potential conflict of interest situations in the evaluation of casino and similar expressions of interest processes, be referred to the Parliamentary EARC committee for consideration in their review of the EARC report on the review of codes of conduct for public officials.” Mr Lingard interjected. Mr SPEAKER: Order! I ask the member to cease interjecting. The article continues— “The Speaker, with a straight face, ruled the amendment in order and the Treasurer, also with a straight face, debated the issue. However, Blind Freddy can see the Treasurer’s amendment bears no relationship whatsoever to the deputy Coalition leader’s motion.” Mrs McCauley goes on to say— Legislative Assembly 23 February 1993 1347 “It should not have been allowed as an amendment and certainly should not have been debated as such. ‘Them that’s got the numbers’ ”— Mr FitzGerald interjected. Mr SPEAKER: Order! I warn the member for Lockyer under Standing Order 123A for interjecting. Mrs McCauley continues— “ ‘Them that’s got the numbers’ makes the rules in Parliament, but that doesn’t mean they are right.” Honourable members, the rule regarding relevancy is covered by the principle that, in this context, the amendment to the question before the Chair must be relevant to such question. The House has also accepted the general parliamentary rule that an amendment that is a direct or expanded negative is not acceptable. The proper way to express the opposite opinion is to vote against the motion. The rule of thumb for determining whether an amendment is a direct negative is to pose the question whether the proposed amendment would have the same effect as voting against the motion.

  • Question on Notice No. 2325 Asked on 24 November 2010 DR
    Question on Notice No. 2325 Asked on 24 November 2010 DR DOUGLAS asked the Minister for Police, Corrective Services and Emergency Services (MR ROBERTS)— QUESTION: With reference to rail squads in the South Eastern Policing Region— (1) Will the Minister provide (a) the total number of rail squads, (b) their location and (c) the number of Queensland Police officers in each squad? (2) Due to the region’s growth and the southern extension of the Gold Coast railway line will the Minister outline why no rail squad has been formed and based permanently at any one of the Gold Coast rail stations south of Beenleigh? ANSWER: The Queensland Police Service has a dedicated Railway Squad established within the Specialist Services Branch, Operations Support Command. The Railway Squad is supervised by an Inspector of Police and is administratively coordinated from a central location at the Roma Street railway station. The squad has operational teams at Roma Street railway station and four satellite locations (known as outposts) at Beenleigh, Petrie, Manly and Redbank railway stations. There is no specific approved staffing strength at these outposts as they are annexes of the main Roma Street office where all members are officially stationed. The Minister for Transport and I recently announced an increase of 10 additional police officer positions for the Railway Squad. Five of these additional positions were recently allocated, bringing the approved squad strength to 59 sworn members. The remaining five will be allocated in the 2011/12 financial year, which will bring the squad’s strength to 64 officers. The staffing model for the Railway Squad includes five non-operational positions (Officer- in-Charge, Tactician, Intelligence Officers and a Crime Prevention Coordinator) as well as a dedicated Firearms and Explosive Detection Dog Handler.
