  • 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.

  • Andrew Powell
    Speech By Andrew Powell MEMBER FOR GLASS HOUSE Record of Proceedings, 11 March 2021 ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Mr POWELL (Glass House—LNP) (12.08 pm): I acknowledge the Governor of Queensland and I am privileged to again rise to reply to his address, the fifth time I have had the opportunity to do so. At the outset I acknowledge the people of Glass House. To those of you who voted for me and for the LNP, I say thank you. To those of you who did not, I also say thank you. It is because of you I remain humble. Let me be honest: while I accept the outcome of the 2020 election, I am bitterly disappointed. I am disappointed that Deb Frecklington, the member for Nanango, is not the Premier of this great state. The member for Nanango has to be the hardest working, most personable, friendly and genuine leader I have had the privilege of working alongside. I commend her for all of the effort she put in not only during the election campaign but across the three years of her leadership. Queenslanders will only know in the future what they have missed out on with the member for Nanango not becoming the Premier. I am equally disappointed that the member for Nanango’s vision for Queensland will not come to fruition—a vision that, as the then shadow minister for infrastructure, manufacturing, planning and a range of other things, would have seen an economy booming through investment in infrastructure, roads, dams, the New Bradfield Scheme and, more importantly, in frontline services to ensure all Queenslanders get their health needs met, their education needs provided for and their child protection and youth justice needs delivered.

  • What Next with the Cableway and Cruise Ship Terminal on the Gold Coast
    OPINION Inside story: what next with the cableway and cruise ship terminal on the Gold Coast Labor’s Meaghan Scanlon and the LNP’s Sam O’Connor are on the front benches after their State poll wins. Their new environment portfolios at first glance seem a great fit. But there are political time bombs ahead with the promotions of both these young MPs. Paul Weston, Gold Coast Bulletin Subscriber only | November 20, 2020 12:00am LABOR’S Meaghan Scanlon and the LNP’s Sam O’Connor are on the front benches after their state poll wins. Their new environment portfolios at first glance seem a great fit. But there are political time bombs ahead with the promotions of both these young MPs. Gaven MP Meaghan Scanlon has attended her first cabinet meeting as Environment Minister. Photo: Supplied Ms Scanlon was Assistant Minister to Tourism Minister Kate Jones, and tipped to replace her. Labor political strategists knew giving the Gaven MP the tourism portfolio would have led to daily media questioning about border closures and the impact on Coast businesses. Being Environment Minister should be as breezy as a hinterland eco-tourism holiday. But city councillors, most likely after the New Year, will get a report on a cableway. In a mail out to her electorate, Mudgeeraba MP Ros Bates found 73 per cent of residents supported a cableway as long as it met environmental standards. The cableway being investigated by Gold Coast City Council would likely be similar to the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway at Cairns. When questioned by the Bulletin on the cableway and the proposed offshore cruise ship terminal at The Spit during the campaign, Ms Scanlon said: “Both projects have had a number of proposals put forward, none of which have been broadly supported by the community or have not stacked up on environment or economic grounds.
