  • Economics and Governance Committee 2021 Estimates
    ECONOMICS AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE 2021 ESTIMATES PRE-HEARING QUESTION ON NOTICE No. 1 THE ECONOMICS AND GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE ASKED THE MINISTER FOR TOURISM INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION AND MINISTER FOR SPORT (HON S HINCHLIFFE) ― QUESTION: With reference to page 4 of the Department of Tourism, Innovation and Sport Service Delivery Statements, and the reference to promoting long term growth to the tourism industry, will the Minister provide an update on the Year of Indigenous Tourism? ANSWER: On 19 July 2020, the Honourable Annastacia Palaszczuk MP, Premier and Minister for Trade, extended the Year of Indigenous Tourism to 2021 due to the impacts of COVID-19. The Palaszczuk Government is investing $10 million over two years for Indigenous tourism development and growth as part of the Year of Indigenous Tourism. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander tourism experiences are an iconic part of Queensland’s tourism sector and a strong economic driver, as the sector supported $505 million in visitor expenditure and employed nearly 2500 people on a full-time basis before the COVID-19 pandemic. Key initiatives of the Year of Indigenous Tourism include: • $7 million Growing Indigenous Tourism in Queensland Fund • Our Country Tourism Business Development Service • Advance Queensland One Business program, for Indigenous business innovators and entrepreneurs • Indigenous experience, marketing, festivals and events • The scoping of the potential to establish a peak Indigenous tourism body. Under the Growing Indigenous Tourism in Queensland Fund, 24 businesses received funding of up to $25 000 to develop business concepts and feasibility studies for new growth of Indigenous tourism product or experiences, while nine businesses received funding of up to $1 million to deliver a new tourism attraction, experience or built infrastructure.

    PINEAPPLE HOTEL CUP E-FOOTY RECORD ROUND 16 E-Footy RECORD 2nd August 2008 Issue 16 Editorial with Marty King GET INTO THE SPIRIT OF KICK AROUND AUSTRALIA DAY Next Thursday, 7th August, is the 150th anniversary of the fi rst recorded match of Australian Football between Melbourne schools Scotch College and Melbourne Grammar at Richmond Paddock, at what is now Yarra Park next to the MCG. As part of the celebrations of this wonderful occasion the AFL is staging ‘Kick Around Australia Day’ and I hope footy fans throughout Queensland will join the party. It’s an opportunity for all Australians to come together through football, and to wear your team colours or club scarf and have a kick of the famous Sherrin. There will be a stack of celebrations right across the country, but please, wherever you are and whatever you are doing, be part of it. Introduce friends, workmates and school friends to AFL and all that makes it the No.1 sport in Australia. Schools around the country have been busy making preparations for the day, with thousands of kids set to take part in football themed lessons, designed in line with the curriculum. Businesses and community organizations, too, are encouraged to get into the spirit and help recognize football’s 150th birthday, which is part of the Tom Wills Round, dedicated to one of the founding forefathers of our game. For further information on this and other 150th year celebrations, visit www.150years.com.au AND CONGRATULATIONS TO THE QUEENSLAND COUNTRY SIDE Special congratulations to the Queensland Country side which won the division two title at last week’s Australian Country Championships in Shepparton, Victoria.

    5887 Urgtelatuwo Aeevmbtg Tuesday, 17 November 1987 THE SPEAKER (Mr Barnett) took the Chair at 2. 15 pm, and read prayers. FORESTS Preservation:Petition DR LAWRENCE (Subiaco) [2.16 pm]: I have a petition couched in the following terms -- We, the undersigned, support: 1. Greater Government efforts to protect Western Australia's mature native forest heritage. The SPEAKER: Order! I do not know whether members have noticed it or not, but at the commencement of sittings it is particularly difficult to hear members in respect of the delivery of petitions and often in respect of notices and the next sets of events that happen. I wonder if we could have a little less background conversation and a little more volume from the members who are making the delivery so that our guests can also hear and understand what is going on. Dr LAWRENCE: The petition continues -- 2. An expanded National Park and Nature Reserve system to include all CALM's proposed reserves with additional areas in the wandoo, southern jarrah and karri forests. 3. An independent inquiry into Western Australia's woodchip/tirnber industries and forest management. 4. Restructuring of Western Australia's woodchip industry so that it only uses sawmill residues and resources from plantations established on already cleared land. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray that you will give this manoer your earnest attention and your petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray. The petition bears 3 664 signatures and I certify that it conforms to the Standing Orders of the Legislative Assembly. The SPEAKER: I direct that the petition be brought to the Table of the House.
