    MICHAEL BERKMAN ​MP Queensland Greens Member for Maiwar 31 October 2018 Hon Mark Bailey MP Minister for Transport and Main Roads GPO Box 2644 BRISBANE QLD 4001 Via email: ​[email protected] Dear Minister Bailey, I am writing to convey concerns expressed by one of my constituents in relation to the roundabout that connects Boundary Road, Rouen Road and Rainworth Road. I understand that, given this is a State controlled road forming part of the regional road network, some issues such as crossings and signage may overlap State and local government jurisdiction. Accordingly, I am contacting both you and Paddington Ward Councillor Peter Matic to request assistance addressing the concerns outlined below, in the hope that this matter may be resolved quickly. I understand from my constituent, James, that cars frequently speed through the roundabout, either ignoring or unaware of the pedestrian crossing. James tells me he recently had a near-miss incident at the roundabout while pushing his 8 week old daughter in her pram; two cars rapidly passed through the roundabout, apparently unaware of him standing and waiting at the edge of the crossing. He believes that if he had exercised the right of way afforded by the pedestrian crossing, he and his daughter could have been seriously injured. Locals also tell me there are other issues with traffic along Boundary and Rouen Roads in that residential area, and in particular trucks frequently using their engine brake systems. Are you able to advise whether there are any existing plans to upgrade roads or improve signage in this area, or to undertake other traffic management strategies to accommodate this growing residential community? I would also request that your department: 1.

    Special Climate Statement 13

    SPECIAL CLIMATE STATEMENT 13 Exceptional cold and unseasonable rain in the Australian tropics, 17-22 June 2007 Issued 28 th June 2007 National Climate Centre Cite: National Climate Centre, 2007. Exceptional cold and unseasonable rain in the Australian tropics, 17-22 June 2007, Bureau of Meteorology, Special Climate Statement 13. 2 Special Climate Statement 13 Exceptional cold and unseasonable rain in the Australian tropics, 17-22 June 2007 The period from 17-22 June 2007 saw exceptionally cold conditions in the Australian tropics, as well as widespread unseasonable rain during what is normally the dry season. This event resulted from the combination of an extensive and slow-moving middle-level cloud-band, associated with an upper-level trough, and a south-southeasterly surge over much of the tropics, largely resulting from the circulation associated with an intense low-pressure system off the coast of New South Wales. Overview of the event The first major rain event occurred during the period 17-18 June. This event principally affected the northern interior of Queensland (Figure 1), with a number of stations receiving daily falls in excess of 50 mm. There was also an isolated heavy fall of 71.4 mm at Oenpelli in western Arnhem Land. Daily maximum temperatures during this period were well below normal, but generally not at record low levels. The main rain-bearing system started to affect the Kimberley region of Western Australia and adjacent western border regions of the Northern Territory on 19 June. Many parts of the eastern Kimberley district of WA and the Victoria River district of the Northern Territory received 25 mm or more for the 24 hours to 0900 on 20 June, with a few stations exceeding 50 mm.

    GreasingThe systemic weaknesses the that Wheels allow undue influence by mining companies on government: a QLD case study Hannah Aulby Mark Ogge TheAustraliaInstitute June 2016 Research that matters. ABOUT THE AUSTRALIA INSTITUTE The Australia Institute is an independent public policy think tank based in Canberra. It is funded by donations from philanthropic trusts and individuals and commissioned research. Since its launch in 1994, the Institute has carried out highly influential research on a broad range of economic, social and environmental issues. OUR PHILOSOPHY As we begin the 21st century, new dilemmas confront our society and our planet. Unprecedented levels of consumption co-exist with extreme poverty. Through new technology we are more connected than we have ever been, yet civic engagement is declining. Environmental neglect continues despite heightened ecological awareness. A better balance is urgently needed. The Australia Institute’s directors, staff and supporters represent a broad range of views and priorities. What unites us is a belief that through a combination of research and creativity we can promote new solutions and ways of thinking. OUR PURPOSE – ‘RESEARCH THAT MATTERS’ The Institute aims to foster informed debate about our culture, our economy and our environment and bring greater accountability to the democratic process. Our goal is to gather, interpret and communicate evidence in order to both diagnose the problems we face and propose new solutions to tackle them. The Institute is wholly independent and not affiliated with any other organisation. As an Approved Research Institute, donations to its Research Fund are tax deductible for the donor. Anyone wishing to donate can do so via the website at https://www.tai.org.au or by calling the Institute on 02 6130 0530.
