An Industry Policy for Queensland Boreham & Salisbury TJ Ryan
policy brief An Industry Policy for Queensland Professor Paul Boreham Emeritus Professor Institute for Social Science Research The University of Queensland Contact: https://www.issr.uq.edu.au/staff/boreham-paul Dr Chris Salisbury Research Associate Institute for Social Science Research The University of Queensland Contact: http://researchers.uq.edu.au/researcher/10581 An Industry Policy for Queensland 1 TJ Ryan Foundation Policy Brief 02 2 Aug 2016 An Industry Policy for Queensland Paul Boreham & Chris Salisbury any countries are pursuing innovation-led industry policies engaging in long-run M strategic investments to create and shape industry trajectories rather than just responding to problems of industry decline. This has required public agencies to lead and direct the creation of new technological opportunities and innovations. The predictable response from bureaucrats and politicians steeped in economic liberalism (that industry policy is not an appropriate instrument of public policy) must face rebuttal as both economically ill-informed and unjustified by evidence. This paper provides an overview of the key issues exemplifying the development of industry policy in many of the advanced economies and draws an outline map of how they might be applied to the Queensland economy. Introduction The structure of the Queensland economy has changed significantly in the past decade. Manufacturing, as a component of Gross State Product, has declined from 10.4 per cent in 2004-5 to 7.2 per cent in 2014-5. The sector’s contribution to State employment has declined from 10 per cent to 7.2 per cent. Likewise, mining’s contribution to Gross State Product has fallen from a peak of 14.8 per cent in 2008-9 to 7.3 per cent in 2014-5 while its contribution to employment has increased only slightly from 2 per cent to 2.8 per cent. -

She is highly regarded and respected by community, political and business leaders and understands the need for all stakeholders to work together to deliver the best outcome for customers.” Mr Thorburn added: “Australia has a world-class banking system and there is more we can do to be better for customers and demonstrate the role banks play for them, the broader community and the Australian economy. “We have also heard the message from customers and from the public, and the industry is serious about change. The appointment of Anna demonstrates our commitment to this.” Ms Bligh has more than 30 years’ experience in public service, initially with community organisations, before entering the Queensland Parliament in 1995. -

Ap2 Final 16.2.17
PALASZCZUK’S SECOND YEAR AN OVERVIEW OF 2016 ANN SCOTT HOWARD GUILLE ROGER SCOTT with cartoons by SEAN LEAHY Foreword This publication1 is the fifth in a series of Queensland political chronicles published by the TJRyan Foundation since 2012. The first two focussed on Parliament.2 They were written after the Liberal National Party had won a landslide victory and the Australian Labor Party was left with a tiny minority, led by Annastacia Palaszczuk. The third, Queensland 2014: Political Battleground,3 published in January 2015, was completed shortly before the LNP lost office in January 2015. In it we used military metaphors and the language which typified the final year of the Newman Government. The fourth, Palaszczuk’s First Year: a Political Juggling Act,4 covered the first year of the ALP minority government. The book had a cartoon by Sean Leahy on its cover which used circus metaphors to portray 2015 as a year of political balancing acts. It focussed on a single year, starting with the accession to power of the Palaszczuk Government in mid-February 2015. Given the parochial focus of our books we draw on a limited range of sources. The TJRyan Foundation website provides a repository for online sources including our own Research Reports on a range of Queensland policy areas, and papers catalogued by policy topic, as well as Queensland political history.5 A number of these reports give the historical background to the current study, particularly the anthology of contributions The Newman Years: Rise, Decline and Fall.6 Electronic links have been provided to open online sources, notably the ABC News, Brisbane Times, The Guardian, and The Conversation. -

ROBER T ANDERSON, GHEEBELUM, NGUGI, MULGUMPIN HIS T O R Y LIFE AND TIMES HISTORY LIFE AND TIMES of Robert Anderson, Gheebelum, Ngugi, Mulgumpin, is a community and personal history of an Aboriginal elder of the Quandamooka area. The life experiences of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander elders are varied and are many and access to their knowledge is essential to the process of continuing our traditions. HISTORY LIFE AND TIMES OF ROBERT ANDERSON GHEEBELUM, NGUGI, MULGUMPIN Community and personal history of a Ngugi Elder of Mulgumpin in Quandamooka, South East Queensland, Australia. Nations and people are largely the stories they feed themselves. If they tell themselves stories that are lies, they will suffer the future consequences of those lies. If they tell themselves stories that face their own truths, they will free their histories for future flowerings.
