  • Fiona Simpson
    Speech by FIONA SIMPSON MEMBER FOR MARYCHOODORE Hansard 5 November 1992 FIRST SPEECH Miss SIMPSON (Maroochydore) (5 p.m.): While I am probably one of the few—if not the only—speakers to have presented a true maiden speech in these hallowed halls, I remember well the characters and history of this Parliament over the last 18 years. There has been a rich tapestry of colourful characters who have contributed to the strength and uniqueness of this State. Queensland is different, and Queenslanders are different. But it is no sin to aim for excellence and not be tied to the philosophical shirt tails of a debauched socialist Canberra. I was born a Mallee girl and grew up a proud Queenslander. One could hardly be more a Queenslander after being shoved through a 7-foot-high window in the Bellevue when someone’s parent forgot the key. That is something that Mick Veivers could not achieve. I am not a cynic. I stand here because, like my colleagues, I have a bright vision for the future. I have a vision of greater things for my Queensland and for my electorate of Maroochydore. If apathy is the enemy, then cynicism is its best mate, and there has never, never been a cynic who has ever changed the world for the better. I believe that children should not have to endanger their lives merely by walking alone to the corner store, and that women and men should not be living in fear in their homes. Our young people should be free to dream dreams and use their God-given abilities to be the best in worthwhile and fulfilling jobs.

  • MARK Mcardle
    Speech by MARK McARDLE MEMBER FOR CALOUNDRA Hansard 18 March 2004 FIRST SPEECH Mr McARDLE (Caloundra—Lib) (4.50 p.m.): I am honoured to stand in this chamber as the member for Caloundra and offer to Her Excellency the Governor on behalf of the people of Caloundra their best wishes. The boundaries of the electorate positions it wholly on the coastal strip, where the best social qualities of Queensland—sea, sand, blue skies and friendship—make it an ideal destination. The seat itself forms part of the city of Caloundra and, over the past 10 years, the demographics of Caloundra and indeed the Sunshine Coast have changed dramatically, making it the 10th fastest growing regional area in Australia. Caloundra has seen enormous economic growth from what could be described as a coastal resort to a dynamic urban environment, taking into account large-scale tourism together with property development and retail growth unprecedented in its history. This growth has brought with it many bonuses and a number of needs, to which I will return later. Caloundra, as a seat, is rightfully proud of its political heritage, claiming Premiers Frank Nicklin and Mike Ahern at a time when the current seat formed part of the seat of Landsborough and, more recently, Joan Sheldon who was a member initially for Landsborough and then Caloundra from 1990 to 2004. Mrs Sheldon was the first female Leader of the Liberal Party, the first female Treasurer of Queensland and the first female Deputy Premier of Queensland. This is the calibre of person Caloundra elects to parliament and, although I do not put myself in that category, I am honoured to say they have elected me.
