  • Vicky Darling
    Speech by Vicky Darling MEMBER FOR SANDGATE Hansard Wednesday, 11 October 2006 MAIDEN SPEECH Ms DARLING (Sandgate—ALP) (4.48 pm): Firstly, Mr Deputy Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Speaker on his appointment. This Assembly has chosen well. I know that he will provide excellent guidance to the new members of parliament. I feel honoured and proud to be the representative of the people of the electorate of Sandgate in this Assembly. I thank the voters of Sandgate for putting their faith in me and I pay tribute to my predecessor, Gordon Nuttall. The electorate of Sandgate is a truly special part of Queensland. It takes in the suburbs of Taigum, Bracken Ridge, Fitzgibbon, Deagon, Brighton, Sandgate and Shorncliffe. It is bounded by Bramble Bay to the east, the electorate of Aspley to the west and the electorate of Nudgee to the south. I would like to acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land which makes up the Sandgate electorate. The local Turrbul people have lived in the region for thousands of years. They referred to the land we now call Brighton, Sandgate and Shorncliffe as Warra, which means an open sheet of water. Lieutenant John Oxley first sailed past Warra and saw its people on 29 November 1823. The first government auction of land occurred in 1853, and by the summer of 1866 Sandgate was a growing seaside holiday village with three- bedroom seaside cottages renting for three pounds a week. Sandgate State School, which my children now attend, was opened in 1873 and in 1882 the Sandgate rail line opened.

  • Water Fluoridation in Queensland (1996-2006)
    1 A paralysis in public health policy: water fluoridation in Queensland (1996-2006). By HF Akers and MP Jackman By focusing on developments between 1996 and 2006, this paper explains the reasons for one of Australia’s public health inconsistencies, the comparatively low adoption of adjusted water fluoridation in Queensland. In Queensland, parliamentary support for water fluoridation is conditional on community approval. Political ambivalence and the constraints of the “Fluoridation of Public Water Supplies Act (1963)” Qld have hindered the advocacy of water fluoridation. The political circumstance surrounding the “Lord Mayor’s Taskforce on Fluoridation Report” (1997) influenced its findings and confirms that Australia’s biggest local authority, the Brisbane City Council, failed to authoritatively analyse water fluoridation. In 2004, a private member’s bill to mandate fluoridation failed in a spectacular fashion. In 2005, an official systems review of Queensland Health recommended public debate about water fluoridation. Our principal conclusion is that without mandatory legislation, widespread implementation of water fluoridation in Queensland is most unlikely. Within the last decade, several political developments have focused on Queensland’s low adoption of adjusted water fluoridation. As a consequence, Queensland Health (QH), the Australian Dental Association Queensland Branch (ADAQ) and other professional bodies have highlighted the contradiction between the government’s high expenditures on public dentistry and Queenslanders’ comparatively lower standard of oral health. This paper explains how Queensland campaigns to promote water fluoridation meet a mix of legislative and administrative obstacles, which allow continuous procrastination between the state government and local authorities. Formal concerns about the standards of surgical competence at the Bundaberg Base Hospital surfaced in the Queensland Parliament in early 2005.

    ETHICS COMMITTEE Report No. 123 Matter of privilege referred by the Speaker on 7 June 2012 regarding the failure to pay a fine for contempt of Parliament Introduction 1. The Ethics Committee (the committee) is a statutory committee of the Queensland Parliament established under section 102 of the Parliament of Queensland Act 2001 (the POQA). The current committee was appointed by resolution of the Legislative Assembly on 17 May 2012. 2. The committee’s area of responsibility includes dealing with complaints about the ethical conduct of particular members and dealing with alleged breaches of parliamentary privilege by members of the Assembly and other persons.1 The committee investigates and reports on matters of privilege and possible contempts of parliament referred to it by the Speaker or the House. 3. This report relates to a matter referred to the committee on 7 June 2012 regarding an alleged contempt of wilfully disobeying an order of the Assembly by the failure to pay a fine for contempt of Parliament. Background 4. On 17 May 2012, the Clerk advised the House of the following:2 Honourable members, I advise that on 12 May 2011 the Legislative Assembly found Mr Gordon Nuttall guilty of 41 instances of contempt and ordered that Mr Nuttall be fined $2,000 on each count and that the sum be paid within 12 months of 12 May 2011. I further advise that, as required, notice of the Legislative Assembly’s order of 12 May 2011 was served upon Mr Nuttall by the Sergeant-at-Arms on 19 May 2011. I table an affidavit of the Sergeant-at-Arms as to the service of documents and copies of documents served upon Mr Nuttall.

  • Queensland July to December 2005
    304 Political Chronicles Queensland July to December 2005 PAUL D. WILLIAMS Grth University Observers of Queensland politics could be forgiven for thinking only one issue occupied the state's public sphere in the latter half of 2005: the management (or mismanagement) of health policy. Indeed, the allegations that an allegedly negligent, overseas-trained surgeon caused numerous patient deaths at Bundaberg Hospital (first raised in April 2005 — see previous chronicle) were so convulsive in their effect on the public mood that we may remember 2005's "Dr Death" saga as the principal turning point downwards in the electoral fortunes of Premier Peter Beattie. Moreover, damaging accusations of a "culture" of secrecy within Queensland Health that obfuscated evidence of malpractice directly or indirectly spawned a series of significant events, including four inquiries (of which three were judicial), a ministerial dismissal, two lost by-elections, a reformed Liberal-National coalition and, of course, a collapse in the government's and the Premier's public opinion leads. The Economy The state of the Queensland economy, while generally good, was perhaps less sanguine than many had hoped. While unemployment mid-year stood at just 3.9 per cent, then the second lowest in the nation (Courier- Mail, 8 July 2006), by year's close it once again had climbed toward 5 per cent (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs%40.nsf/mf/6202.0) . Inflation, too, proved challenging, with the consumer price index increasing 0.8 percentage points in the December quarter (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/ abs%40.nsf/mf/6401.0).

  • Guarding Mps' Integrity in the UK and Australia
    David Solomon is Queensland Integrity Commissioner Guarding MPs’ integrity in the UK and Australia David Solomon Following the 2010 federal election, Prime Minister Julia Gillard signed several agreements with various independents and the Greens that included undertakings to introduce a Code of Conduct for members of the Commonwealth Parliament and appoint a Parliamentary Integrity Commissioner who, under the supervision of the House and Senate Privileges Committees, would have functions that would include providing advice to MPs and Senators and investigating complaints against them. The proposals have not been implemented at the time of writing but are still alive. These and other integrity proposals were part of the policy agendas of the Greens and some of the independent MPs either before the election, or immediately afterwards. It is interesting to note that Parliament took its time to consider and debate their adoption: that there was no urgency suggests that there was little external pressure to settle the issues that had been raised. These proposals were not a response to public outrage over any scandalous events, of which there have been very few at the national level in Australia. The same can be said about the slow implementation by the Baillieu Government in Victoria of changes to that State’s integrity system. While the new Coalition Gov- ernment had policies about these matters going into the election in 2010 it has been under little external pressure to put them into effect with any degree of urgency. Recent history suggests that changes to integrity systems, particularly when they directly affect Ministers and Members of Parliament, are undertaken or expedited mainly in the wake of either public scandals or strongly growing concern at a diminution in public confidence about government, parliament and parlia- mentarians.

  • Parliamentary Privilege in Queensland
    AIAL FORUM No. 59 PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE IN QUEENSLAND Daniel Morgan* The modern era of parliamentary privilege began with the establishment of parliamentary supremacy through the Bill of Rights 16881. Although the concept of privilege had been known since the Middle Ages, the reality of the parliamentary experience had been that privilege was allowed only the extent to which the monarch had been prepared to suffer. Absolutist abuses reached their zenith during the Stuarts, and played a significant part in the outbreak of the English Civil War. The courts had been used as an instrument of royal domination and Art. 9 of the Bill of Rights was designed to ensure that the balance swung the other way. Remarkably, it was not until the 19th century that the courts asserted their jurisdiction, culminating in an institutional clash between the courts and parliament in Stockdale v Hansard (1839) 9 Ad & El 1; (1839) 112 ER 11122. In the intervening period, parliamentarians had abused privilege to perpetuate an oligarchy of their own, by operating above the common law and ousting the jurisdiction of the common law courts. The abuses and the underlying cause of the tensions between the courts and parliament were destroyed at a theoretical level in Burdett v Abbott (1811) 104 ER 501 although it took until the Stockdale crisis for a settlement to be implemented whereby each institution respected the other’s constitutional role: it was for the courts to determine if a certain privilege existed and for the parliament to determine the occasion and manner of its exercise. The Stockdale settlement was appropriate to the circumstances which existed at a specific time and place and with respect to the Westminster parliament which as a result of its historical development, is a unique institution.
