    31 May 2001 Legislative Assembly 1353 THURSDAY, 31 MAY 2001 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Human Cloning Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.31 a.m.), by leave: The Prime Minister has confirmed that human cloning will be on the agenda of the COAG meeting to be held on 8 June in Canberra. I table a copy of the communique from his office. Rapid developments in medical and reproductive technology have opened up the potential for experimental work that could lead to cloning of human beings. The creation of duplicate humans through cloning techniques is not supported by the Queensland government. Cloning of human beings is contrary to the Universal Declaration on the Human Genome and Human Rights. Australia is a signatory to the declaration, which states— Practices which are contrary to human dignity, such as reproductive cloning of human beings, shall not be permitted. As well as being contrary to human dignity, cloning is unsafe. The first mammal that was cloned in 1997, Dolly the sheep, was the source of considerable interest. What many were not aware of at that time was the number of failed attempts which preceded Dolly. There were more than 270 failed attempts at cloning in order to produce one cloned sheep. This is not something we can allow to occur with human beings. The World Health Organisation has also affirmed that 'cloning for the replication of individuals is ethically unacceptable and contrary to human dignity and integrity.

  • Darling Downs Multicultural Services Directory
    FOREWORD Welcome to the 2017 Darling Downs Multicultural Services Directory. The Directory is a community resource designed to introduce newly-arrived culturally diverse Queenslanders to the many programs, facilities and services that support social and economic participation. The cultural diversity of the Darling Downs is increasing as people and families from many cultural and language backgrounds move here to build new lives. The Directory has proven to be a valuable resource for new arrivals, as well as for the agencies and community organisations that support them. This is the fourth edition of the Directory as it continues to expand in its coverage of groups and services. Migrants’ participation in our region’s economy and cultural and social life affects all aspects of their wellbeing, as well as the region’s prosperity and social cohesion. New settlers seek support from the many government and non-government agencies on the Darling Downs who provide assistance in areas such as education, employment, health and family life. This Directory is designed to help culturally diverse Queenslanders make closer and more inclusive connections within their local services and communities, as well as advertise their own community initiatives. The Directory also helps in increasing the cultural capability among agencies and mainstream groups by highlighting the services and support given to the region’s culturally diverse communities. A comprehensive range of agencies, community organisations and migrant and refugee groups are listed in the Directory by service type. Organisations working in a particular area can be easily found, with a link through to each email and website. Entries in the Directory continue to be collated from a wide range of sources, through direct client and agency work, mapping of regional service provision and community needs, sourcing government and non-government information, liaising with local interagencies and working with regional agencies to deliver workshops for culturally diverse Queenslanders.
