The decade saw a flowering of Australian literature. It saw tremendous social and economic changes. Partly as a result of these changes, these years saw the rise of a new force in Australian politics - the labour movement. In some colonies, this development was overshadowed by the consolidation of a colonial liberal tradition reaching its culmination in the Deakinite liberalism of the early years of the tlommdhwealth. Developments in Queensland differed from those in the southern colonies.

Where there is a high fuel load or elevated fuels (e.g. when first establishing a protection zone) the initial fire may result in a moderate to high severity. Following this initial burn, aim to reinstate a regime that will promote low severity planned burns. Severity should be sufficient to reduce elevated fuels and bark hazard (i.e. allow fire to run up trunks). Fire frequency / interval (refer to Appendix 2 for a discussion) • Protection zones: Fuel management planned burns within protection zones are carried out as soon as possible after they can carry a fire in order to maintain a relatively low fuel hazard. • Wildfire mitigation zones: Planned burns within wildfire mitigation zones are undertaken within the fire frequency recommended for the fire vegetation group but generally towards the lower end of that range.

  • 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.

  • COVID-19 - Immediate Support Measures Strengthening Our Health Responses with Enhanced Community Services and Support
    Queensland Department of Health April 2020 COVID-19 - Immediate Support Measures Strengthening our health responses with enhanced community services and support COVID-19 poses a serious threat to the Queensland community and it requires a collective response across the Queensland health system, including in the community health care sectors where the need for additional services is emerging. To help build community health resilience and preparedness in the face of COVID-19 impacts, the Queensland Government is offering a $27.75 million COVID-19 Grant Fund to these Service Providers. This funding enhances the significant work the Queensland Health system is doing to plan and prepare to deliver healthcare services during the COVID-19 pandemic. It complements Australian Government national primary health packages by support community health care providers delivering public healthcare to meet local community health needs in Queensland. Access to the COVID-19 Grant Fund will ensure these Service Providers continue to be supported to contribute to a system wide response to COVID-19 in Queensland as providers of public essential health care services. Funding (excluding GST): Up to $23.50 million is available for the following the COVID-19 Grant Fund priorities: Support for community mental health services to rapidly implement, time-limited, alternative service delivery models for suicide prevention and supports for emergent decline in mental health from social isolation in vulnerable cohorts; Support for existing Queensland Health funded specialist
