B. D. AUSTIN (Wavell—Minister for Health) (11.5 a.m.): A number of the more dense minerals in beach sands have economic value and in this country, particularly the eastem coast, these dense minerals have been concentrated to the' extent that extradion is economically viable. The minerals extracted, usuaUy referred to as heavy minerals are— (i) RutUe (Tetanium Dioxide) (ii) Zircon (Zirconium SiUcate) (iii) Ilmenite (Iron-Tetanium Dioxide) (iv) Monazite. The usual practice is to produce heavy mineral concentrates at the beach sand-mming sites and transport them to separation plants or dry mUls for separaticui and concentration into commercial concentrates. The separation process relies on the differing physical properties of the heavy minerals. The monazite is initiaUy coUeded as a magnetic, non-conductor component mixed with other materials, including magnetic zircon This semi-processed component may contam 10 to 14 p)er cent monazite as compared with .01 per cent in the original beach sand. The semi-processed component may be further processed to yield a component with up to 50 per cent monazite, which can be further processed as required to yield soluble concentrates of 70-90 per cent monazite. The beach sand-mining industry has been estabUshed on the east coast of Australia since 1934 (at Byron Bay), and has subsequently extended to other locations in New South Wales and (Queensland. The possibility therefore exists that dumps of semi-processed material containing 10 per cent or more of monazite may be located near shes where dry miU operations have been carried out. Over the past 10 months, surv^s of sand-mining sites and processing plants in South-east Queensland have been made by officers of my department. Six sites were surveyed. Three were in operation or are still in operation. Varying problems were found with each particular site depending on the extent of the original sand-mining separation process. Many of the heavy metals present in the sand had been separated and removed. Some of the material which was left contained various levels of monazite. The radiation levels from this material varied according to the concentration. It is these radiation levels which have been matters of concern and on which the National Health and Medical Research CouncU has made recommendations. In respyect of places which are intermittently occupied by members of the public, such as sporting fields and footpaths, the recommended maximum is 2.5 micro-sieverts per hour. In respect of residential land, the exposure set by the National Health and Medical Research Council is .1 of a micro-sievert per hour. The Consolidated Rutile Limited plant at Meeandah was surveyed. Two stockpiles of some processed mineral and a store of bag monazite were located and surveyed. All monazite in that plant is located well away from areas which are accessible to the public. The radiation levels in the vicinity of the stockpUes and the bag stores are acceptable and are at present no hazard to members of the pubUc or plant operators. It was recommended that no remedial action was required in respect of that plant. The Associated Minerals Consolidated Limhed plant in Ferry Road, Southport, has been extensively surveyed over a period of nine months. There are a number of sites on which material has been tested. It is understood that the company is winding: up its operation Ministerial Statement 19 October 1982 1457 and is looking for ways of removing the offending material so that the sites can be sold for residentml development. Discussions have taken place with the company with respect to the removal of the offending material and hs being buried under controUed conditions to a depth of at least one metre and covered vrith an appropriate solid fill. If these procedures are carried out, the sites owned by this company may then be sold for residential development. A survey of the mineral sand processing plant at South Currumbin has recently been carried out. One grass mound was found to have radiation levels above the acceptable level and two smaller mounds had radiation levels below but close to the acceptable levels for recreation areas. The material in those three areas has been removed and deposited in a safe and acceptable manner. In an industrial area in Maryborough, a sand-mining processing plant had previously been in operation. It ceased some years ago and the property was sold to another commercial company not involved in mineral sands activities. The she has been surveyed and the area that is occupied by the present commercial company does not provide any hazard, but there is an adjacent area which was used to stockpile some processed sand, and that area demonstrates significantly high levels of radiation. Recommendations are being made as to how that site can be handled, and this will probably involve more adequate fencing and the stabilising of the sand on site. Discussions are to take place with the present owners of the site. Now it has come to the notice of the department that some of the processed sand has been sold to householders in the Brisbane area for land fill. I have already advised the pubUc of this fact and asked for people who have had sand fill placed on thdr property to come forward so that appropriate tests could be carried out. Tests carried out on a number of properties at the request of the owners in the past months have demonstrated that there is no hazard and in fact in a significant numbers of cases the background radiation was higher than the radiation level coming from any sand deposited on their residential site. In one instance, in a large garden setting there were a few small peripheral sites where radiation was on the upper level as set by the National Health and Medical Research CouncU, and on another site the radiation level was significantly higher than the standard set. These householders have been advised, and I understand that the one whh significantly higher levels has taken remedial action. The extent of the distribution of this material in the south-east comer of the State is not known. Records are very inadequate. Companies that have been involved in distributing the material have been co-operative but have been unable to provide definitive information. The only way to get some idea of the extent of the problem is by asking members of the public who have had sand delivered for land fiU purposes to bring this to the notice of my department. It is pointed out that the testing and the surveys that are required are time-consuming and require highly skilled scientific staff. The health aspects of this problem have two components. First is the effect on individual members of the public and, secondly, the workers associated with industrial plants. Over the years, workers in mineral sands processing plants have been the subject of industrial medical supervision, and these plants have operated satisfadorily from that point of view. These monitoring arrangements will continue and are directed by my Division of Industrial Medicine. The effect on members of the public has only become significant since the discovery that some of the material has been used on domestic premises for land fill. The levels that have been obtained from surveys of residential premises would indicate that the risk to health is minimal. At one residential site it was felt that the levds did present a demonstrable risk, and action has been taken by the owner of that property to remove the offending material. The health problem generated in this context would be one of 10 to 20 year duration and therefore the immediate effects are negligible. But some risk does exist in the long term where significant levels of radiation are present. On the present information available, it is not anticipated that there will be very many residential sites which would have levels above the recommended National Health and Medical Research C!ouncU levels and therefore require remedial action.

  • The Ayes Have It: the History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    7. The Pizzey–Chalk interlude, 1968 With the retirement of Frank Nicklin as Premier in January 1968, the Queensland Parliament entered a period of turbulence and uncertainty. Nicklin had been the leader of the Country Party continuously since June 1941, accumulating a total of 26.5 years at the helm. He had been Premier for 10.5 years and had governed the state competently and conscientiously. He had stamped his own personal integrity and probity on the character of the government and had quietly maintained a guiding hand over the cabinet and party room. In the Parliament, he was uniformly held in high regard not only by his own Country Party colleagues but by his Coalition partners and members of the opposition. He had maintained a sense of decency in the Assembly that was recognised by friend and foe alike. At the time of his retirement, Nicklin had attained many parliamentary achievements, not the least of which was the general acceptance of the Coalition parties as the natural parties of government. He had also, perhaps more conscientiously, sustained the Country Party as the dominant party in the Coalition despite consistently polling fewer votes than the largely urban-based Liberal Party. Nicklin’s retirement at seventy-two years of age was not exactly a surprise; it had been expected for some time. His health and energy were waning and he had spent some weeks in hospital during the final months of his record- breaking premiership. It was widely believed that Nicklin had hung on to the job for so long simply to beat the previous record of Labor’s Forgan Smith as the longest-serving premier (Forgan Smith had served 10 years and three months).

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    9. The slide towards uncertainty, 1969–1972 The Parliament resumed after a break of seven and a half months—a relatively long intermission but by no means unusual in those days. When an election was due in the new year (from March to June), it was common practice for the Parliament to adjourn in late November or early December (before Christmas) and to not reconvene for another six to eight months. This was the pattern followed throughout the 1940s to the mid-1950s and again from 1962 to 1972. The thirty-ninth Parliament would run from 5 August 1969 to 10 December 1971 (202 sitting days in the three-year term or 67 days a year) and not meet again before the May 1972 election. It was the last Parliament to meet with 78 members and, for the first time since winning government, the Coalition governed with a reduced majority. Under Nicklin, the Coalition’s majority had risen from nine in 1957 to 10 in 1960, to 14 in 1963 and 16 in 1966, but fell back to just 12 after the 1969 election—Bjelke-Petersen’s first electoral test as leader. With the benefit of hindsight, it is clear the 1969–72 Parliament was to become Labor’s high-water mark in its period in opposition, when for a few years it posed a credible challenge to the government. It was also a period when the Premier was at his most vulnerable politically—a condition deeply troubling to his own party colleagues, who would eventually be incited to rebel against his leadership.

The order of speaking will be that Bill Hewitt will speak first and he will be followed by Tony Koch, then the Honourable Anna Bligh and then Peter Wear. I will introduce all the speakers now so that I do not have to bob up and down as they come to the microphone. The speakers will speak for about 15 or 20 minutes back to back. After they have spoken we will give them a chance to respond to each other and then there will be an opening for questions and comments from the floor. We have a roving mike and Andrew, who is sitting at the back, will move through the audience with that. When all questions and comments are exhausted I have great pleasure to invite you to the Strangers Bar for a cash bar and free supper. At the end of this evening's proceedings Damon Blake, our Treasurer, will have a little word to say, a little commercial, about membership. I would like to start by saying that the Queensland Chapter of the Australasian Study of Parliament Group was the last chapter in Australasia to be founded in 1993 under the auspices of the Honourable Mr Speaker Fouras. We are now the largest chapter and most active chapter in Australasia.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    14 . The demise of the Coalition and the Nationals governing alone, 1981–1983 In 1980, backroom plans had been already entertained for a stand-alone National Party government supplemented by a few Liberal ‘ministerialists’— opportunists who would cross over and side with whatever the next ministry turned out to be in order to remain part of the next government. Historically, ‘ministerialists’ were typically senior parliamentarians who, forgoing party loyalties, decided to collaborate as individuals in the formulation of a new government. After the 1980 election, however, any such musing was put on hold as the two conservative parties lapsed back into coalition. This time, the Nationals clearly imposed their dominance, taking the prime portfolios and consigning the ‘leftovers’ to the Liberals. Labor began to refer to the junior partners as ‘Dr Edwards and his shattered Liberal team’—the losers who were ‘now completely the captive of the National Party’ (QPD 1981:vol. 283, p. 7). Despite his vitriolic attacks against the Premier and the National-led government, Llew Edwards retained his position as Deputy Premier and Treasurer—positions he would keep until he was deposed by Terry White on the eve of the Coalition collapse in August 1983, although there was an unsuccessful attempt by dissident Liberals to remove Edwards in November 1981. When the Premier learned about the dissident Liberal plan to topple Edwards, with Angus Innes taking the lead, he declared Innes an ‘anti-coalitionist’ and someone with whom he would not work. Instead, Bjelke-Petersen began hatching plans to form a minority government with whomsoever among the Liberals who would give him support; and then to govern alone until mid-1982.

    POLITICS What’s So Special? In accounting for Joh’s style and success, Wear rounds up the usual suspects.

From Labor, the Country Party (later the Nationals) inherited a rurally biased gerrymander, which kept them in power.
