Hansard 11 December 2001 11 Dec 2001 Legislative Assembly 4381 TUESDAY, 11 DECEMBER 2001 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE Speed Limits Hon. S. D. BREDHAUER (Cook—ALP) (Minister for Transport and Minister for Main Roads) (9.31 a.m.): I rise on a matter of privilege. In a report in the Courier-Mail today the newspaper implies the state government is considering reducing the speed limit on all urban roads to 50 kilometres per hour. Two weeks ago I announced a proposal to extend the 50 kilometres per hour speed limit to local streets in regional Queensland but not including major arterial and urban links. The state government has no intention of changing its current position and will only apply the new speed limit to local residential streets. PRIVILEGE Queensland Principal Club; Allegations by Member for Southport Mr HOBBS (Warrego—NPA) (9.31 a.m.): Last week the member for Southport accused me of misleading the House. He alleged that the correspondence I tabled from the Queensland Principal Club was a forgery. I wish to assure members the letter is a genuine working document prepared by direction of the Queensland Principal Club board and, as the member for Southport confirmed—and I quote his words— These are most serious allegations. This document outlined a number of questions arising out of an audit of expenses of the Chairman of the Toowoomba Turf Club, Neville Stewart. It is immaterial whether the letter was signed by Mr Bredhauer, Phar Lap or, in fact, not signed at all. It is the contents of that working document that are of importance. For the member for Southport to imply in this House that the letter is a forgery is misleading and does the member no credit. It is a desperate attempt to cover up the minister's attempt to influence the outcome of an inquiry into her friend. The member for Southport should also remember that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. ASSENT TO BILLS GOVERNMENT HOUSE QUEENSLAND 6 December 2001 The Honourable R. K. Hollis, MP Speaker of the Legislative Assembly Parliament House George Street BRISBANE QLD 4000 Dear Mr Speaker I hereby acquaint the Legislative Assembly that the following Bills, having been passed by the Legislative Assembly and having been presented for the Royal Assent, were assented to in the name of Her Majesty The Queen on 6 December 2001: "A Bill for an Act authorising the Treasurer to pay an amount from the consolidated fund for the Legislative Assembly and parliamentary service for the financial year starting 1 July 2000" "A Bill for an Act authorising the Treasurer to pay amounts from the consolidated fund for departments for the financial year starting 1 July 2000" "A Bill for an Act to amend the Racing and Betting Act 1980". The Bills are hereby transmitted to the Legislative Assembly, to be numbered and forwarded to the proper Officer for enrolment, in the manner required by law. Yours sincerely (sgd) Peter Arnison Governor 4382 Papers 11 Dec 2001 ASSENT TO BILLS Appropriation Parliament Bill (No. 2) Appropriation Bill (No. 2) Mr SPEAKER: Honourable members, I have to report that on Thursday, 6 December 2001 I presented to His Excellency the Governor the Appropriation Bill (No. 2) and the Appropriation (Parliament) Bill (No. 2) for royal assent and that His Excellency was pleased, in my presence, to subscribe his assent thereto in the name and on behalf of Her Majesty.

I note that Mr Van Oostveen's petition appears, primarily, to be in relation to his experiences in seeking access to his own health records, as held by Queensland Health. Queensland Health staff have investigated the claims by Mr Van Oostveen and I am able to provide the following advice in respect of this matter: On 5 October 1999, Queensland Health received an application under the Freedom of Information Act 1992 (the FOI Act) from Mr Van Oostveen for access to his "complete file/files". While Mr Van Oostveen did not provide details of the health facilities he had attended, Queensland Health staff conducted searches to locate relevant documents and so were able to process the application. Given the various health facilities Mr Van Oostveen has attended, the application required processing of documents within Corporate Office, Queensland Health and various Health Service Districts. During November 1999, Mr Van Oostveen was granted full access to his health records, with the exception of a small number of folios within Corporate Office, Queensland Health. These folios were determined to be exempt, in accordance with various exemption provisions within the FOI Act. At the time Mr Van Oostveen was notified of the decisions (being decisions by FOI Decision-makers within Corporate Office and the relevant Health Service Districts) in relation to his FOI application, he was also advised of his appeal rights and that if he chose to exercise them, he must do so within 28 days of the decisions. On 6 August 2001, Corporate Office, Queensland Health received an application for internal review from Mr Van Oostveen. Despite not being required to do so (given the significant length of time since the expiry of his appeal rights), Queensland Health processed his application for internal review, with a decision being made on 21 August 2001. Mr Van Oostveen was granted access to further material as a result of the internal review decision (that is, some matter that had previously been considered exempt was disclosed). Within the internal review decision, Mr Van Oostveen was advised of his external review rights. As yet, he has not chosen to exercise them. On 12 January 2001, Queensland Health responded to a representation by Ms Nita Cunningham MP (Member for Bundaberg), on Mr Van Oostveen's behalf, and provided advice on the process to be followed in seeking amendment of health records (that is, lodging an amendment application in accordance with the FOI Act). To date, Queensland Health has not received an amendment application from Mr Van Oostveen. Unfortunately, section 63 of the Health Services Act 1991 (the confidentiality provision that extends to all health information held by Queensland Health)

    3 May 2001 Legislative Assembly 639 THURSDAY, 3 MAY 2001 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE Public Works Committee; Comments by Member for Beaudesert Mr NEIL ROBERTS (Nudgee—ALP) (9.31 a.m.): I rise on a matter of privilege. Yesterday, the member for Beaudesert, in a question to the Treasurer and Minister for Sport, revealed to this House information concerning the internal deliberations of the Public Works Committee. Specifically, the member revealed what he believed to be the way in which ALP members of the committee deliberated on a particular issue. On Tuesday, 1 May during debate on the Parliamentary Committees and Criminal Justice Amendment Bill, the member for Beaudesert also revealed to this House what he believed to be the way in which I, as Chairman of the Public Works Committee, deliberated on another matter being considered by the committee. In relation to this matter, he said— So we found that the committee split three all. Of course, unbelievably, a casting vote was made by the chairman, an ALP member. Which way did he go? Of course he went with the government. So we had a four-three vote. It is a well-established principle of this and other parliaments that the internal deliberations of parliamentary committees are not divulged without the authority of the committee. This is an extremely important principle which goes to the very heart of the effective operation of the committee system. In fact, the unauthorised publication or disclosure of the private deliberations and decisions of committees have been pursued as matters of breach of privilege or contempt.

  • 3. One of the Most Persistent Bitches: Judy
    3 One of the Most Persistent Bitches: Judy I was about one and a half when, in 1946, I was put in the Queen Alexandra Home and my sister Gloria must have been about seven and my other sister Beverly was nearly four. My brother was born just after that. I was the first one put in the institution. I lived there until I was 12 years old. My mum had walked out on us—her four children—and dad served in Japan during the war. He sent money to the Home, about 14 shillings a week, for the whole family. Queen Alexandra Home My first memory—me sitting in a cot with my foot all bandaged up because I had stepped on a nail. I remember it being so funny, me throwing my food at other girls. There was a Mr and Mrs R. there. They wanted to adopt me and my dad wouldn’t sign the paperwork. I can remember my sister Beverly and there were people we used to call ‘Matron’ and ‘Sir’. My brother was never put in there. He was adopted out to other people. Queen Alexandra Home was a huge building full of tiny children. There were private wards and state ward children. Still to this day I can remember the front entrance and the black and white tiles. I can’t walk into a house that’s got black and white tiles. I have to get out of it. There must have been 100 children in there. Sir and Matron were pretty brutal to us.
