  • Hansard 29 October 1991
    Legislative Assembly 2165 29 October 1991 NOTE: There could be differences between this document and the official printed Hansard, Vol. 320 TUESDAY, 29 OCTOBER 1991 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. J. Fouras, Ashgrove) read prayers and took the chair at 10 a.m. ASSENT TO BILLS Assent to the following Bills reported by Mr Speaker— Supreme Court of Queensland Bill; South Bank Corporation Amendment Bill. QUESTIONS Statement by Mr Speaker Mr SPEAKER: Honourable members, the rules governing questions are outlined in chapter VII of the Standing Rules and Orders. Standing Order 67A, which refers to questions to Ministers, states— “. Questions may be put to a Minister relating to public affairs with which he is officially connected, to proceedings pending— that is, awaiting decision— “in the Legislative Assembly, or to any matter of administration for which he is responsible.” Standing Order 69 states— “In putting a Question, no argument or opinion shall be offered, or any fact stated, except so far as is necessary to explain the Question.” Standing Order 70 states— “The following general rules shall apply to Answers: (i) In answering a Question a Minister . shall not debate the subject to which it refers. (ii) An Answer shall be relevant to the Question. (iii) If, in the opinion of the Speaker, the Answer is too long, he may direct the Minister . to cease speaking.” On Thursday, 24 October, points of order were taken on the Treasurer and the Minister for Education when answering questions on the Budget and relating to the Education Estimates which were to be debated that day. Honourable members, I feel it is opportune to give to the House a statement on the rules governing questions in this context.

  • Draft 30 July 2011 SIR SIDNEY KIDMAN
    Draft 30 July 2011 SIR SIDNEY KIDMAN: AUSTRALIA’S CATLE KING AS PIONEER OF ADAPTATION TO CLIMATIC UNCERTAINTY Leo Dobes1 Abstract There is little direct evidence about the business model used by the legendary cattle king, Sir Sidney Kidman. Kidman‟s properties were generally contiguous, forming chains that straddled stock routes and watercourses in the most arid zone of central Australia, were invariably stocked at less than full capacity; providing access to the main capital city markets via railways, as well as a wealth of information on competing cattle movements. This combination of features effectively afforded strategic flexibility in the form of so-called „real options‟, especially during severe drought events. Alternative explanations such as the vertical integration of Kidman‟s operations, and spatial diversification of land holdings, offer only partial insights at best. Faced with a highly variable and unpredictable climate, combined with erosion and the spread of rabbits, Kidman provides a highly pertinent example of successful human adaptation to exogenous shocks such as climate change by avoiding expensive deterministic responses. Key words: climate change, adaptation, real options, drought, rangelands Introduction Sir Sidney Kidman (1857-1935) was a controversial figure. Born in modest circumstances in Adelaide, he eventually came to control, both directly and indirectly, a vast pastoral empire that stretched north-south across the rangelands of central and northern Australia, with further holdings in the Kimberley region of Western Australia. Feted in England as a fabulously wealthy Cattle King, he also attracted criticism in Australia for trying to recruit London omnibus drivers as stockmen. During World War I, he made a name for himself nationally by donating fighter planes and other equipment to the armed forces.
