  • Hansard 9 April 2002
    9 Apr 2002 Legislative Assembly 639 TUESDAY, 9 APRIL 2002 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R. K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE Berri Ltd Mr SEENEY (Callide—NPA) (9.31 a.m.): On Monday, 11 March a number of media outlets carried reports claiming that I had lied to this parliament when I asked a question of the Minister for State Development on 8 March. This is a very serious accusation and it has been repeated a number of times by both the Premier and the Deputy Premier. The claim is demonstrably wrong. I did not lie to this parliament, nor did I mislead this parliament on 8 March or at any other time. The question that I asked referred to concerns that had been raised with me by a constituent relating to state government grants. Mr Speaker, I wish to table some documents pertaining to that issue. I table a copy of a telephone log from 8 August last year from my electorate office and a copy of my diary from 9 August last year, both of which record the initial contact that I had on this issue with my constituent. One is in my secretary's handwriting and one is in mine. Mr Speaker, I also table a document supplied by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission which is a current and historical search on Berri New South Wales Ltd, the corporate entity which received the grant. Under sections 168 to 171 of the Corporations Act, Berri Ltd has a statutory responsibility to ensure that this public record is correct.

  • Fact Sheet 13
    ABORIGINAL PEOPLE Fact Sheet no.13 Aboriginal people believe that they have been living in Australia since the beginning of time. Their complex cultural and spiritual connections to the environment and their kinship system have developed through their belief in the Dreaming, which is a time of creation, passed on from generation to generation and still seen today through stories, songs, dances, ceremonies and art. Recent research has determined that Aboriginal people were part of the first wave of modern humans out of Africa. Aboriginal people are thought to have possibly first occupied the Australian continent 60,000 years ago. Radiometric carbon dating also indicates that they were likely to have occupied the Sydney region as early as 40 000 years ago during the time of the last Ice Age. Prior to the European invasion, Aboriginal people in the Willoughby area relied on the marine environments of Sydney Harbour, Broken Bay and the many creeks , rivers and wetlands for much of their food. They also harvested and hunted for food from the surrounding bush. The bush was the supermarket, the hardware shop, the pharmacy and the church. Being self-sufficient, Sydney Aboriginal people had little need to travel far from their lands as the resources in the area were abundant and trade with other clans was well established. Moving throughout their country in accordance with the seasons, Aboriginal people spent only four to five hours per day working to ensure their survival. With such a large amount of leisure time available, they developed a rich and complex ritual life - language, customs, spirituality and the law - the heart of which is the connection between the people, Country and spiritual beliefs.
