Can I start first by acknowledging the traditional custodians of the land on which this hearing is taking place today. I am Jennifer Howard. I am the member for Ipswich and the chair of the committee. Joining me on the committee are our deputy chair and member for Burnett, Stephen Bennett; Julieanne Gilbert, the member for Mackay; Robbie Katter, the member for Mount Isa; Linus Power, the member for Logan; and Ted Sorensen, the member for Hervey Bay. We are here today to examine the proposed expenditure contained in the Appropriation Bill 2015 for the portfolios of the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries and Minister for Sport and Racing and the Minister for Environment and Heritage Protection and Minister for National Parks and the Great Barrier Reef. We will be examining the estimates in that order. The proceedings today are lawful proceedings subject to the standing rules and orders of the parliament. As such, I remind all visitors that any person admitted to this hearing may be excluded in accordance with standing order 208. The committee has resolved that today’s hearing will be broadcast in line with the conditions for filming and broadcasting the proceedings of the Legislative Assembly tabled on 21 May this year. Copies of the conditions are available from the parliamentary attendants. The hearing is being broadcast live via the Parliamentary Service’s website. We extend a warm welcome to everyone who is picking up these broadcasts. The committee has authorised the release of answers from ministers to the prehearing questions. These will be available shortly on our website. The estimates process is an important part of the parliament’s scrutiny of the budget and the work of the departments. As laid out in the guidelines of schedule 8 at the back of the standing orders, we expect all departmental officers appearing today to provide full and honest answers to our questions. Anyone who is unable or unwilling to provide an answer should be prepared to state their reasons. I also remind members that departmental officers are not here today to give expert opinions on the merits or otherwise of the policies of the government. That is the role of ministers. Finally, before we begin, can everyone switch their mobile phones off or to on silent. The first item for consideration is the estimates for the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries and Minister for Sport and Racing. Welcome, Minister Byrne, and advisers. We will examine estimates for your portfolio until 2.15 pm. For the benefit of Hansard, I ask advisers, if you are called to give an answer, to please state your name before you speak for the first time. Minister, the committee has granted leave to the Leader and Deputy Leader of the Opposition and other opposition members to participate in today’s hearing. I now declare the proposed expenditure for the Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries and Minister for Sport and Racing open for examination. The question before the committee is— That the proposed expenditure be agreed to. Minister, would you care to make an opening statement? Mr BYRNE: Yes. Thank you, Madam Chair and good morning everyone. Today, I will be answering your questions across portfolio responsibilities for the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries as well as responsibilities for Sport and Racing within the Department of National Parks, Sport and Racing. To assist the committee, I intend to give short introductions for each portfolio as we move through the day. I am joined at the table by Mr Jack Noye, the Director-General of the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, and my chief of staff, Mr Elliot Stein. This morning, I am also pleased to announce that the Palaszczuk government is implementing our election commitment to create three new net-free fishing zones adjacent to Cairns, Mackay and Rockhampton. I can announce that these zones will be in place before the end of the year. Today, I am releasing the final maps for these zones and the details of the commercial fishing voluntary buyout and settlement packages. I am happy to table a copy of the maps of those zones. The government has consulted and sought feedback from more than 6,300 public submissions. Ninety per cent of those submissions were in favour of introducing net-free zones. The zones I announce today will be good for tourism, good for the Great Barrier Reef and great for the Queensland recreational fishing sector. To support the commercial fishing industry, $10 million has been set aside to help industry adjust. The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries is writing to each netting licence holder and fishers who have worked in those licences to advise them of the details around the settlement and buyback schemes and offer to meet with them individually to explain what it means for them. I intend to engage in face-to-face discussions with impacted commercial fishers where necessary as the process moves forward. This is a key election commitment and a commitment of the reef 2050 plan and we are getting on with the job. 21 Aug 2015 Estimates—Agriculture, Fisheries, Sport and Racing 3 Across the Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, we have been busy implementing the government’s plans and working with industry to enhance opportunities for the future. For the benefit of the committee, I seek leave to table the recently released food and fibre plan, which sets out our agenda for the portfolio. CHAIR: The minister is tabling some documents. He also tabled some earlier. Is leave granted? Mr BYRNE: I welcome your questions. CHAIR: Thank you, Minister. The first question is from the member for Nanango. Mrs FRECKLINGTON: Thank you, Chair. Minister, do you have procedures and protocols in place in your department to deal with public servants making either false statements or misleading declarations? Mr BYRNE: I think it is probably appropriate that I call for our Deputy Director-General, Corporate Services. CHAIR: Deputy Director-General, would you answer the question? Ms Hoffmann: Yes, we do have procedures for governing the behaviour of public servants and they are all prescribed by virtue of the head of power, which is the Public Service Act, and the code of conduct for the public sector as a whole. Mrs FRECKLINGTON: Thank you. If I can refer my question then to the deputy director-general of corporate services. Does that protocol that you have then just alluded to require a public servant who would have made a false statement or a misleading declaration to be stood aside? CHAIR: Member for Nanango, that question should probably be directed to the director-general. Mrs FRECKLINGTON: Okay. I am happy for the director-general to answer that question. Mr Noye: Thank very much. I will ask the DDG corporate to answer that, thanks. Ms Hoffmann: The short answer is it depends very much on the circumstances of the case in each instance. There are set protocols for dealing with any kind of misdemeanour in the public sector. Mrs FRECKLINGTON: For example, deputy director-general, if a public servant were to make a false statement and you were to become aware of that, would it be standard practice for you to stand aside that public servant? Ms Hoffmann: Not necessarily. Again, it is highly contextualised to the circumstance and the first step is usually to invite the individual to show cause as to the circumstances— Mrs FRECKLINGTON: So in the case that it was a serious misdemeanour— CHAIR: Member for Nanango— Mrs FRECKLINGTON: Welcome today for the protection racket. CHAIR: Could you just explain how your question is relevant to the appropriation? Mrs FRECKLINGTON: The question is relevant to page 5, note 1 of the SDS. My question, through the director-general, is in relation to the procedures and policies in place in relation to public servants should they be making either false statements or misleading declarations. I am just seeking clarification from the minister through his department on what his protocols are in place. Mr BYRNE: Madam Speaker, can you just illuminate what part of the SDS this line of questioning reflects? Mrs FRECKLINGTON: Yes, sure. If you go to SDS, page 5, Minister. Mr BYRNE: Note 1— This is a new service standard introduced to assess the overall satisfaction of key stakeholders who were provided with opportunity to participate and contribute to development of policy and planning activities.

The Firebirds booked their place in the decider at Mel- bourne’s Hisense Arena with a rugged 54-50 win over New Zealand’s Waikato Bay of Plenty Magic. The minor premier Vixens say they will have to be at their defensive best against the Fire- birds, who showed they were prepared to spill some blood to get the win with goal defence Clare McMeniman a casualty against the Magic. “It’s going to be a slog, no two ways about it,” said vet- eran Australian goaler Cather- ine Cox, who is retiring after the match. “They are a very physical side and they’re not about to give up at any stage so it’s 60 minutes of solid work. “No doubt people will be sore and extremely tired at the end of the game but if we win it I don’t think anyone’s going to mind.” The two teams know each other backwards, having played three times this season.
