RULES FOR THE RADIO AND TELEVISION BROADCASTING, INCLUDING REBROADCASTING, OF THE PROCEEDINGS: 1. Broadcasting of the proceedings shall be for the purpose of making fair and accurate reports of those proceedings, and, in particular: a. shall not be the subject of commercial sponsorship or be used for commercial advertising; and b. shall not be used for electoral advertising. 2. Recording and broadcasting of the proceedings shall not be such as to interfere with the conduct of those proceedings. 3. The committee may report to the House any willful breach of these conditions. GUIDELINES FOR CAMERA OPERATORS • The Parliamentary Service is responsible for video broadcasting of the proceedings of the Legislative Assembly’s committees. • The broadcasting of the public hearing of Estimates Committee C must support a dignified, accurate and consistent image of the committee. To achieve this image, camera operators shall comply with the following guidelines: 1. Cameras will only begin to film when the Chair declares the hearing open, and will cease filming when the Chair declares the hearing closed, adjourned or suspended. 2. Generally, cameras should only focus on the committee member or minister, or to a ministerial advisor to whom a minister has referred a question to answer. Shots should be no closer than ‘head and shoulders’. 3. Cameras should never focus on a committee member who is not asking a question or a minister or ministerial advisor who is not giving an answer. 4. Fine tuning or variations to depths of field at the discretion of the operator is acceptable. 5. Sparing use of wide-angle shot may be used at other times. 6. Reaction shots of a committee member, minister or ministerial advisor are not permitted. 7. If an exchange between committee members, a minister and ministerial advisors is too fast to permit normal camera switching, a wider camera shot incorporating those involved in the exchange, including the Chair, is permitted. 8. In the event of unparliamentary behaviour or disturbance in the proceeding, the camera is to focus on the Chair or a slightly wider angle shot of the hearing which does not show the offending incident. 9. No close-up shots of committee members’, ministers’ or advisors’ papers are permitted. Instructions from the Chair in relation to the operation of the vision equipment shall be observed. Ministers’ use of ancillary materials The committee discussed the possible use by Ministers of ancillary materials at the hearing. The committee agreed that Ministers be allowed to use ancillary materials during the hearing, subject to compliance with the following guidelines: • The materials should not be of a size or nature which could create safety or security issues (eg they impede movement within the Chamber, impede access to and from the Chamber, require power cords to be run across the floor or are difficult to move into, and out of, the Parliamentary precinct) • If the materials contain or depict information, that information should also be presented to the committee in documentary or other acceptable form. • Advance notice should be given to the research director of the nature of any ancillary materials the Minister proposes using, so that the committee can assess its compliance with the above. Catering: The committee agreed that morning and afternoon tea would be provided and members would arrange their own lunches. Coffee and tea making facilities will be available all day behind the Chamber. Ms Croft arrived at 1.16pm Next meeting: 8:00am, Thursday, 16 July 2009 in Room A.35.

Its natural integrity, with large areas unaffected by logging, contains a range of endangered and of concern communities, including significant examples of notophyll vine forests along upper catchment creek lines, and habitat for rare and threatened plants and birds. Maintenance of the aquatic ecosystems to protect threatened or endemic species including the giant barred frog, cascade tree frog, tusked frog, the giant spiny crayfish and the rainforest crayfish will be a priority. The park will provide a high quality water catchment and scenic backdrop to the rapidly developing Sunshine Coast hinterland, Caboolture and Kilcoy. Visitors can enjoy an accessible, regenerating natural area for nature-based recreation opportunities, including sustainable motorised recreation. Conservation purpose Bellthorpe National Park was gazetted in 2010. It was originally Bellthorpe State Forest prior to its transfer to Bellthorpe Forest Reserve 1 and 2 under the South East Queensland Forests Agreement (SEQFA) in 2003.

    INAUGURAL SPEECH Mr SKELTON (Nicklin—ALP) (11.18 Am): I Would Like to Begin by Acknowledging the First Nation People on Whose Land We Meet: the Turrbal People

    Speech By Robert Skelton MEMBER FOR NICKLIN Record of Proceedings, 1 December 2020 INAUGURAL SPEECH Mr SKELTON (Nicklin—ALP) (11.18 am): I would like to begin by acknowledging the First Nation people on whose land we meet: the Turrbal people. I also acknowledge the Kabi Kabi people, whose land I am honoured to speak of in this place, and I pay my respects to their leaders past, present and emerging. I was born an Army brat and spent my early life travelling around the country with my family and sister Cassandra as my father, Robert, served. My mother, Yvonne, also imbued in me a sense of duty and honour, so in 1995 after finishing school in Townsville I joined the Navy so that I, too, could serve my country. My naval career saw me serve as a boatswain’s mate on HMAS Swan, HMAS Canberra and HMAS Ipswich. I later had an educational posting at the gunnery range at HMAS Cerberus. In 2002 I transferred to RAAF Base Amberley to train as an aviation firefighter. I then served at RAAF Base Tindal. My time in the services taught me the importance of comradeship, teamwork, improvisation and a love of, and duty to, country. During this time my wife, Rachel, and I had a young family. I have three beautiful children: Brandt, Delaney and Jamison. All three were born thousands of kilometres apart in Cairns, Frankston and Katherine respectively. I also had the good fortune of adopting Ray and Sandra Hubbard and John and Julie Aldous as parents somewhere along the way.

T. MATHEWS, M.Sc. ' The area between Bracalba and Kiicoy extending northwards to the Conondale Range was found to consist mainly of tonalitic rock. On the south the tonalite is intrusive into Brisbane Metamorphics, and may underlie them for some miles farther southward; on the east it is faulted against Mesozoic sediments; and on the north intrusive into andesites, and it is thought, Brisbane Metamorphics. In the south-west, acid and intermediate volcanics, probably mostly related to the Mt. Archer and M . Delaney masses, are found; while basalt penetrates the area from the north. t The principal structures of the area are a broad anticline in the Brisbane Metamorphics between Bracalba and Kilcoy; along fault (in one place associated with mylonites) stretching from Bracalba to the Cedarton-Beerwah road, separating Mesozoic sandstones on the east from tonalite and altered andesite; and a comparatively small ?thrust (also with associated mylonites) in Brisbane Metamorphics to the east of Kilcoy.
