    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.

  • 2021-03-24 Letter to Minister Bailey Re Lambert Road Traffic
    24 March 2021 Minister for Transport and Main Roads Mark Bailey MP Via email: [email protected] CC: Minister for Education Grace Grace MP Via email: [email protected] Request for a meeting to discuss trac congestion in the Lambert Rd precinct Dear Minister Bailey, I am writing to you about a significant trac and transport issue impacting my electorate that I would appreciate discussing with you or your sta. By way of background, the trac issues around the Lambert Rd precinct in Indooroopilly are a long-standing concern for local residents. The pressure added around school drop o and pick up times is enormous in this part of the neighbourhood. The precinct currently hosts more than 5,000 students at Indooroopilly State High (ISHS), St Peter Lutheran College (St Peters), Brigidine College and Holy Family Primary School. Some but not all of those students currently catch public transport, walk or cycle to school, and we don’t at this stage have a clear picture of the relevant transport mode share at all of the schools. The State Government’s recent proposal to build a new primary school on the grounds of Indooroopilly State High School has highlighted the extent of residents’ concerns about the trac issues, and the negative impact it’s having on their lives and ability to move around their neighbourhood. During the consultation process for the school, hundreds of residents made submissions, and contacted me and the Education Minister to oppose this proposed location for another school, primarily because of the significant trac issues the precinct is already facing.

    23 September 2020 Hon Annastacia Palaszczuk MP and Hon Mick de Brenni MP By email: [email protected] and [email protected] Dear Premier and Minister de Brenni, Extend the eviction moratorium to support Queenslanders during the COVID crisis We the undersigned urge you to support Queenslanders by extending the moratorium on residential evictions until 31 December 2020. Every other state in Australia – New South Wales, Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania – have already committed to extending their moratoriums, recognising that this important measure is still needed to protect housing security and provide certainty for industry and the economy. The Premier continues to remind us that there is a real risk of second and third waves of infection, that we cannot be complacent and that we must maintain our strong health response. Keeping people safe in their homes is an essential part of this health response. The decision not to extend the eviction moratorium has real consequences for Queenslanders who are watching their worst nightmares come true. Jason* is a father of five. His wife is sight impaired. Prior to the pandemic, Jason was supporting his family through income from his small business. The business has been hit hard by the pandemic and he is struggling to support his family. Jason’s landlord has told him that he will be evicted as soon as the moratorium ends. Klaire* is a mother of 2. Prior to the pandemic she and her husband were supporting their two children by working in casual hospitality roles. Klaire’s husband was overseas when the pandemic hit.
