  • 2015 Queensland State Election: an Overview
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2015–16 17 SEPTEMBER 2015 2015 Queensland state election: an overview Dr Joy McCann and Simon Speldewinde Politics and Public Administration Section Executive summary • This paper provides an overview of the issues and outcomes for the January 2015 election for the Queensland Legislative Assembly. Where appropriate, it draws on the Library’s earlier publication on the 2012 Queensland state election.1 • The 2015 Queensland state election result surprised many observers with the dramatic shift in the fortunes of the two major parties. The Australian Labor Party (ALP), having lost government at the 2012 election and retaining just seven seats, emerged with 44 of the 89 seats with a swing of 10.8 per cent. The Liberal National Party (LNP), which had won a record majority of 78 of the 89 seats at the 2012 state election, experienced a swing of 8.3 per cent against it with its seats reduced to 42. Of the remaining seats, two were won by Katter’s Australian Party and one by Independent Peter Wellington. • The election outcome was initially unclear when it was revealed that a Palmer United Party candidate was ineligible as a result of being an undischarged bankrupt. Electoral Commission Queensland (ECQ) indicated that it would refer the Ferny Grove election result to the Court of Disputed Returns but subsequently decided not to proceed based on legal advice, paving the way for the ALP to form minority government with the support of an Independent. • Several key issues emerged during the election campaign including political financing, privatisation and asset sales, the impact of mining on the Great Barrier Reef and anti-association laws.

  • Queensland Election 2009
    Parliament of Australia Department of Parliamentary Services Parliamentary Library Information, analysis and advice for the Parliament RESEARCH PAPER www.aph.gov.au/library 2 June 2009, no. 34, 2008–09, ISSN 1834-9854 Queensland election 2009 Dr Mark Rodrigues Politics and Public Administration Section Executive summary • The 2009 Queensland state election, held six months early on Saturday 21 March 2009, was announced on YouTube by Labor Premier Anna Bligh. • In order to defeat the 11 year old Government, the newly merged Liberal National Party (LNP) lead by Lawrence Springborg, required a substantial swing of 8.3 per cent to gain an additional 20 seats. • This was the first election in Australia since the onset of the global economic downturn. Jobs and management of the economy were dominant themes in the election campaign. New electoral boundaries and three tropical cyclones also framed the context for the election. • Under the banner of ‘Keep Queensland strong’, Labor primarily campaigned on creating 100 000 new jobs, maintaining its record spending on infrastructure and developing a football stadium on the Gold Coast. • The LNP campaigned on ‘Change for a better Queensland’ and proposed to apply a three per cent funding cut to public sector spending, maintain two children’s hospitals in Brisbane, and implement a $726.9 million infrastructure investment program. • Pre-election polling indicated a tight finish with the LNP ahead 51–49 on a two-party preferred basis. However, despite a 4.7 per cent (first preference) swing against Labor, the Government was returned with 51 of the 89 seats. Bligh became the first female to be elected Premier in Australia.

  • Extract from Daily Hansard Thursday, 21 May 2009
    Speech by Glen Elmes MEMBER FOR NOOSA Hansard Thursday, 21 May 2009 ADDRESS-IN-REPLY Mr ELMES (Noosa—LNP) (8.27 pm): I am very happy to be able to stand here before the House tonight and deliver this speech to the address-in-reply. The fact that I am standing here means that the Noosa community, which I represent, has seen fit to honour me for a second term as their representative in the Queensland parliament. It is a huge honour and privilege made more so this time by the fact that once the dust had settled and the last votes were counted I was able to attain just under 70 per cent of the two- party preferred vote. The challenge for me now in this second term is to continue to address the needs of my community and reflect their views in what I say both here and elsewhere, and try to achieve a similar result in the next election campaign. It would be very remiss of me not to thank my campaign team headed by Nick Dondas and Matt Collins, and ably assisted by Barry Elms, Earle Bailey, David Peel, Jeff Nuske, Dean Williams and Karla Hobson. These wonderful people formed the core of the campaign team. In the lead-up to election day at prepolling, at declared institutions and on election day at the polling booths, something like 160 volunteers came out to support not just me but also the ideals and the policies of the Liberal National Party. I would like to make special mention of Lyn Parker and Barb Hannon in my office; my wonderful wife, Lesleigh, and my children, Teigan and Kristin, for their help, support and encouragement along the way.

  • The Role of Committees in Rights Protection in Federal and State Parliaments in Australia I Introduction
    40 UNSW Law Journal Volume 41(1) 3 THE ROLE OF COMMITTEES IN RIGHTS PROTECTION IN FEDERAL AND STATE PARLIAMENTS IN AUSTRALIA LAURA GRENFELL* AND SARAH MOULDS** This article offers a snapshot of how Australian parliamentary committees scrutinise Bills for their rights-compliance in circumstances where the political stakes are high and the rights impacts strong. It tests the assumption that parliamentary models of rights protection are inherently flawed when it comes to Bills directed at electorally unpopular groups such as bikies and terrorists by analysing how parliamentary committees have scrutinised rights-limiting anti-bikie Bills and counter-terrorism Bills. Through these case studies a more nuanced picture emerges, with evidence that, in the right circumstances, parliamentary scrutiny of ‘law and order’ can have a discernible rights-enhancing impact. The article argues that when parliamentary committees engage external stakeholders they can contribute to the development of an emerging culture of rights-scrutiny. While this emerging culture may not yet work to prevent serious intrusions into individual rights, at the federal level there are signs it may at least be capable of moderating these intrusions. I INTRODUCTION Australia has a parliamentary model of rights protection which means that, outside of the protections provided by the Constitution and the common law, most Parliaments in Australia have almost exclusive responsibility for directly protecting the rights of all members of the community. Only in two Australian Parliaments, those of Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory, is this direct * Dr Laura Grenfell is an Associate Professor at the University of Adelaide Law School where she teaches and researches public law and human rights.

  • Queensland January to June, 2009
    Political Chronicles 603 Queensland January to June, 2009 PAUL D. WILLIAMS School of Humanities, Griffith University Overview The first half of 2009 saw some of the most remarkable developments in recent Queensland political history. A state election that recorded a number of firsts — including the unexpectedly easy return of the first woman premier in Australia — coupled with a declining economy, a tough state budget, the proposed sale of 604 Political Chronicles government-owned corporations, and the rapid surge in support for a troubled opposition despite its convincing defeat just weeks before. If nothing else, this period underscored the vagaries of state politics. January The Liberal-National Party (LNP) opposition, emboldened by its successful amalgamation in mid 2008, came out swinging at year's beginning. Opposition leader Lawrence Springborg kicked off his unofficial election campaign in early January with a curious policy launch at an Ipswich motor cycle store. But conservative forces were soon distracted when Nationals Senator Barnaby Joyce sounded out pre-selection possibilities for the lower house seat of Dawson and, later, a Northern New South Wales district. Joyce soon abandoned the plan for want of support. Premier Anna Bligh was forced into her own backflip when she scuttled a move to allow drivers to claim the 8.3 cent per litre petrol subsidy directly from service stations. The Premier soon backflipped again, this time over plans to axe unprofitable Queensland Rail rural freight lines. Meanwhile, the Queensland economy appeared to stall, with 1,300 jobs lost in just two months (Courier Mail, 15 January 2009). The year's first community cabinet, in Townsville, thus doubled as a jobs summit.

  • Queensland July to December, 2008
    Political Chronicles 279 Queensland July to December, 2008 PAUL D. WILLIAMS School of Humanities, Griffith University Overview The second half of 2008 underscored the end of Premier Anna Bligh's honeymoon with the Queensland electorate. Media and public outrage over an alleged lack of ministerial and bureaucratic integrity, continuing policy crises in water, health and education, and the spectre of a successfully merged Liberal-National Party all haunted government strategists powerless to halt Labor's public opinion decline. As the global financial crisis bit into Queensland's economy, it seemed all a "small target" LNP Opposition had to do was wait. July The period opened explosively when District Court Judge Hugh Boning dismissed charges against paedophile Dennis Ferguson on the grounds his notoriety would prevent a fair trial. Botting's judgment would be overturned in August after Attorney- General Kerry Shine ordered the Director of Prosecutions to appeal, but not before igniting fears of the allegedly errant surgeon Dr Jayant Patel — the so-called "Dr Death" of Bundaberg Hospital — escaping justice on similar grounds (see previous Chronicles). In the interim, the now released Ferguson was forced to relocate several 280 Political Chronicles times around South East Queensland, under expensive police protection, to evade angry local mobs. But the real soap opera belonged to the Liberal and National parties. On the eve of their merger, billionaire businessman Clive Palmer raised questions of political influence when he allegedly donated $100,000 to the cash-strapped Coalition (Courier Mail, 2 July 2008). Despite declaring an early intention to become inaugural Liberal- National Party (LNP) president, incumbent Liberal President Mal Brough soon dropped out, leaving just a Liberal Gary Spence and Nationals' President Bruce McIver.

  • DP3330 River Report
    RIVER REPORT March 2007 Mangrove manifesto THE jury is back on the issue of invasive saltwater mangrove proliferation along the Brisbane River. The verdict … overwhelmingly in favour of allowing judicious pruning, replacing what many call draconian prohibition with commonsense management. We were swamped (if you'll excuse the intentional pun) with responses to our survey, enclosed with the October 2006 DIXON JOHNSTON Quality Property River Report, seeking your views on river mangrove management. Within weeks, 199 completed questionnaires flooded in - an astonishing response considering there are only around 850 individual residential properties along the river. Of these 199 respondents, a whopping 195 agreed selective trimming of saltwater mangroves should be permitted under certain conditions. Importantly, the vast majority took great care to stipulate support for pruning - not removal - on the proviso no environmental harm would result. The concern and frustration expressed on this issue was immense, our readers' outcry so decisive, we lead this edition of the River Report with an analysis and report on the mangrove survey results. Indeed, many respondents conveyed heartfelt gratitude that someone was making a constructive effort to put mangrove management on the public agenda. Thanks to your participation, we now have a 'mangrove manifesto' that surely cannot be ignored by politicians and public servants. As you will read overleaf, we have compiled the survey results and provided them to government leaders, senior bureaucrats, river precinct MPs and councillors, seeking their official response. The plea for action is firmly on the table. So, thank you for your input. Of course, this edition includes our regular commentary of the residential river market.

(Signed)____Ainslie Rose Meiklejohn_________________________ Abstract Between 1915 and 2015, 83 women held seats in the Queensland Parliament. This thesis seeks to understand why the women Members of the Queensland Parliament are under- represented and less likely to hold leadership positions. Moreover, the narratives for these women have not been recorded or heard. This aims to understand this under-representation, and further, by developing qualitative and quantitative data, this thesis seeks to add to the existing literature on women’s experiences in parliament. Further, I argue gender can be understood within Bourdieu’s concept of capital (Bourdieu, 2002, 2001), as an additional category of capital and I posit that gender capital is a part of the explanation for the persistent under-representation of the women Members of the Queensland Parliament.

This article adds to current understanding of the online engagement between politicians and the public by presenting the first quantitative analysis of the utilisation of the social network tool Twitter by Australian politicians. The analysis suggests that politicians are attempting to use Twitter for political engagement, though some are more successful in this than others. Politicians are noisier than Australians in general on Twitter, though this is due more to broadcasting than conversing. Those who use Twitter to converse appear to gain more political benefit from the platform than others.

Stewart Jackson Abstract Since appearing in the 1970s, Green parties have grown from obscurity to electoral prominence globally. The Australian Greens trace their origins to various social movements in Australia, and could be said to have originally been a movement party. However, as the party has grown and become electorally successful changes have occurred within the structure, organisation and modes of operation. While some of these changes are in response to an increased membership, they also represent a shift towards a new organisational form: the electoral professional party. There is now greater emphasis on the party organisation and electoral success that marks a shift in emphasis from the party in the electorate to the parliamentary party. Have, then, the Greens moved from being a movement party to an electoral professional party? To trace the importance and impact of these changes within the Australian Greens this thesis examines two groups within the party, activists and staff, through survey and interview.
