The Coalition parties’ share of the vote puts them within reach of victory, but the way in which they work towards the next election—particularly in the area of policy development—will be crucial to them if they are to succeed.

  • Koala Protection Act Sent to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull
    23 May 2016 Australian Press Release: Koala Protection Act sent to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull Koala Foundation The Australian Koala Foundation (AKF) has written to Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, Nationals Leader Barnaby Joyce and Greens Leader Richard A.C.N. 010 922 102 Di Natale today to request their support for a Koala Protection Act. The Koala Protection Act is a piece of national legislation that has been formulated by the AKF in consultation with legal teams in Australia and overseas focusing on protecting Koala habitat. Current legislation focuses on the Koala itself but not their habitat. A draft of the Act was enclosed, along with a Statutory Declaration for all leaders to sign prior to the election that states that they will seek to support the Koala via this legislation should they be re-elected. CEO of the AKF Deborah Tabart OAM said that the Act is based on the USA’s Bald Eagle Act that brought the Bald Eagle back from the brink of extinction. She said as Australia’s national icon, the Koala needs the same strength of purpose. “It is not our intention to offend the leaders by requesting they sign a Statutory Declaration, but rather a determination borne of frustration over the AKF’s 30-year experience,” said Ms Tabart. “Since 1988 when I was appointed as CEO of the AKF I have had conversations and correspondence with the who’s who of Australian politics; Environment Ministers at the Federal level and Premiers at the State level."[see notes below] Ms Tabart said the number of Environment Ministers in each State and the Mayors of the 320 Councils in Koala Habitat that she has also corresponded with is too high to remember.

  • 2015 Queensland State Election: an Overview
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2015–16 17 SEPTEMBER 2015 2015 Queensland state election: an overview Dr Joy McCann and Simon Speldewinde Politics and Public Administration Section Executive summary • This paper provides an overview of the issues and outcomes for the January 2015 election for the Queensland Legislative Assembly. Where appropriate, it draws on the Library’s earlier publication on the 2012 Queensland state election.1 • The 2015 Queensland state election result surprised many observers with the dramatic shift in the fortunes of the two major parties. The Australian Labor Party (ALP), having lost government at the 2012 election and retaining just seven seats, emerged with 44 of the 89 seats with a swing of 10.8 per cent. The Liberal National Party (LNP), which had won a record majority of 78 of the 89 seats at the 2012 state election, experienced a swing of 8.3 per cent against it with its seats reduced to 42. Of the remaining seats, two were won by Katter’s Australian Party and one by Independent Peter Wellington. • The election outcome was initially unclear when it was revealed that a Palmer United Party candidate was ineligible as a result of being an undischarged bankrupt. Electoral Commission Queensland (ECQ) indicated that it would refer the Ferny Grove election result to the Court of Disputed Returns but subsequently decided not to proceed based on legal advice, paving the way for the ALP to form minority government with the support of an Independent. • Several key issues emerged during the election campaign including political financing, privatisation and asset sales, the impact of mining on the Great Barrier Reef and anti-association laws.

  • Queensland January to June 2005 PAUL D
    Political Chronicles 595 Queensland January to June 2005 PAUL D. WILLIAMS Griffith University The Economy — Mixed News The year began satisfactorily for the government when a mid-year review forecast a revised budget surplus of $1.1 billion, or $450 million higher than expected (Courier- Mail, 13 January 2005). Equally pleasing was a Queensland unemployment rate of 4.3 per cent, which allowed Queensland, for the first time in twenty-five years, to boast Australia's lowest level (Courier-Mail, 8 April 2005). But some regions grew faster than others, with the Darling Downs becoming Queensland's "powerhouse" with an unemployment rate of just 2.3 per cent (Courier-Mail, 1 February 2005). The state's inflation rate of 0.5 per cent for the June quarter — or 2.5 per cent annually — remained comparable with the national average (www.abs.gov.au/ausstats) . Such robust growth encouraged the Beattie Government to resist Commonwealth proposals to further reform industrial relations. In 2003-04, exports valued at $26.2 billion showed a real decline of 3 per cent, while imports rose 10 per cent. Coal and beef were among the hardest hit, despite generating overall revenue of $8 billion (Courier-Mail, 2 February 2005). Other crises included the closure of a Bundaberg sugar processing plant with the loss of 100 jobs, and Queensland Rail's loss of contract with its largest freight customer, Toll Holdings, a loss attributed to cost increases of up to 48 per cent (Courier-Mail, 11, 22 February 2005). SEQ Infrastructure and the Budget — Counterbalance to Crises The Beattie Government pre-empted its own budget with the announcement in late April of its long-awaited Southeast Queensland Regional Plan, a bold $55 billion capital works vision covering some 230 separate projects designed to accommodate the one million additional residents expected to settle in the state's southeast over the next 596 Political Chronicles twenty years.

  • Submission to Senate Inquiry
    Submission to Inquiry by Senate Select Committee into Certain Aspects of Queensland Government Administration related to Commonwealth Government Affairs 1. The Select Committee was established to inquire into and report on a range of issues pertaining to aspects of Queensland Government administration relating to Commonwealth Government affairs including “any other matter the committee considers relevant”.1 It is submitted that as part of its work it would be reasonable for the Select Committee to inquire into the following matter. 2. In 2013 the Education, Employment and Workplace Relations References Committee of the Australian Senate reported on its inquiry into “Conditions of Employment of State Public Sector Employees”. The Committee had received submissions from many people who had been adversely affected by the Newman LNP Government’s decision in 2012 to cut the jobs of thousands of Queensland government workers (including those holding temporary and permanent positions). The majority report of the Committee, while supporting the managerial prerogative of State governments to make decisions pertaining to their respective public sector workforces,2 concluded: Public sector reform is a contentious issue. The committee understands that staffing reductions and voluntary redundancies can have a significant impact on the individual workers affected, as well as families and communities. The committee trusts that state governments do not make these decisions lightly, and carefully consider the consequences of such reforms.3 3. It is submitted that the Newman Government’s decision to cut thousands of public sector jobs was highly ill-considered given the devastating consequences it had not only for the individuals concerned and their families but also for the whole Queensland economy.
