I know they're quite well known in the Hansard area and they won't be any better this evening either. I also thank you for exposing my overuse of the meaningless adverb 'actually'. Just scrub it out every time I say 'actually'—that's worked so far so good.” “To Broadcasting: I apologise for my noisy jewellery. I know it has caused trouble in the past and people know when I'm speaking. It's a bit like having a cat with a bell on it—they know when I'm about to speak. I do apologise because I realise over the years that I tend to talk to you. When I'm talking in this place, I know you're supposed to speak to the President but I find when I'm speaking that I'm inevitably talking to Broadcasting. I apologise and I hope you haven't found it too threatening.” “I particularly want to thank all the people who have made submissions and provided evidence to Senate and other parliamentary committees.

Some ten families sit on rows of plastic chairs on the brand new concrete veranda, waiting. The officer, holstering a revolver, walks past the young kids, who hardly pay him any attention, and stops in front of some men and women. He hands them little strips of paper to rub against the inside of their forearm for traces of drugs. The next day, drug detection dogs on the leash sniff us.

  • Queensland July to December, 2008
    Political Chronicles 279 Queensland July to December, 2008 PAUL D. WILLIAMS School of Humanities, Griffith University Overview The second half of 2008 underscored the end of Premier Anna Bligh's honeymoon with the Queensland electorate. Media and public outrage over an alleged lack of ministerial and bureaucratic integrity, continuing policy crises in water, health and education, and the spectre of a successfully merged Liberal-National Party all haunted government strategists powerless to halt Labor's public opinion decline. As the global financial crisis bit into Queensland's economy, it seemed all a "small target" LNP Opposition had to do was wait. July The period opened explosively when District Court Judge Hugh Boning dismissed charges against paedophile Dennis Ferguson on the grounds his notoriety would prevent a fair trial. Botting's judgment would be overturned in August after Attorney- General Kerry Shine ordered the Director of Prosecutions to appeal, but not before igniting fears of the allegedly errant surgeon Dr Jayant Patel — the so-called "Dr Death" of Bundaberg Hospital — escaping justice on similar grounds (see previous Chronicles). In the interim, the now released Ferguson was forced to relocate several 280 Political Chronicles times around South East Queensland, under expensive police protection, to evade angry local mobs. But the real soap opera belonged to the Liberal and National parties. On the eve of their merger, billionaire businessman Clive Palmer raised questions of political influence when he allegedly donated $100,000 to the cash-strapped Coalition (Courier Mail, 2 July 2008). Despite declaring an early intention to become inaugural Liberal- National Party (LNP) president, incumbent Liberal President Mal Brough soon dropped out, leaving just a Liberal Gary Spence and Nationals' President Bruce McIver.

    Senator Claire Moore WEEKLY UPDATE: 25th May, 2018 Phone: (07) 3252 7101; email: [email protected]; Web:www.clairemoore.net; Twitter: www.twitter.com/SenClaireMoore; www.facebook.com/SenatorClaireMoore; THIS WEEK: The government has now determined the date for the five Super Saturday by- elections around the nation. Surely, it is only a coincidence that the chosen date, Saturday 28th July, coincides with our Labor National Conference! The explanation for a two month delay in providing the opportunity for electors in these five seats to make their choice for their representative ,as provided by the Australian Electoral Commission, is that there needs to be time to ensure that the new system around citizenship eligibility is bedded down and that there cannot be elections during school holidays. June 30 was the first available satisfactory date so why we do we have to wait almost another month to franchise electors in those five seats? This further clouds the real motives of the Government in choosing the end of July for these by-elections. As the new system seems to be a new form, and there have been many elections during school holidays, as recently as Bennelong in NSW, there may well be other considerations which are not so transparent. I think it is difficult to understand the difference between the needs for representation of people in Bennelong and Batman with those living in Longman, Perth, Freemantle, Mayo and Braddon. The media has covered the reaction of Senator Penny Wong in Senate Estimates, as well as comments from Bill Shorten and Mark Butler this morning.

    Federal Election Results 12 September 2013 On 7 September 2013 the Liberal-National Coalition was elected to form government, having achieved a majority of seats in the House of Representatives. As a result the former Opposition Leader, the Hon. Tony Abbott MP, will now become Australia’s 28th Prime Minister. The Coalition is yet to announce its Ministry. The Australian Federal Parliamentary Labor Party is set to determine its leadership in the coming week, with the Shadow Ministry to be announced shortly thereafter, dependent on the progress of the count. The Hawker Britton Occasional Paper on the changes made on 22 July 2013 to the way leaders of the Australian Parliamentary Labor Party are elected is available here. This paper is intended as an update on the outcome of the Federal election of 7 September 2013. It should be noted that the outcome of each House of Representatives and Senate election is not declared until the result is beyond doubt. I.

  • Community Cabinet Presentation to Hon Minister Cameron Dick (Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning) Toowoomba 25Th September 2018
    Community Cabinet Presentation to Hon Minister Cameron Dick (Minister for State Development, Manufacturing, Infrastructure and Planning) Toowoomba 25th September 2018 Minister, thank you for this opportunity to make a statement on behalf of the Highfields District Business Connections (HDBC) to outline our vision for the Highfields Lifestyle Enterprise Precinct (HLEP). Since 2003 Highfields has doubled its population with today’s figure estimated to be nearly 13,500. Over the next 18 years it is projected to grow by 63% to approx 22,000. This growth has been great for the region and council has done it’s best to plan for this expansion. However, the evidence is, that due to the proximity of Highfields to the Toowoomba CBD, strong growth and good local planning has not been able to shift the markets-pressure that has now shaped the commercial heart of Highfields into a dormitory suburb, with restricted business opportunity, limited services and small numbers of, generally low skilled, local employment. Two Years ago, in July 2016, HDBC accepted the government’s challenge for local communities to bring solutions to government rather than complaints. A community grant from Heritage Bank’s Crows Nest Community Branch has enabled us to engage the specialist mentoring of Robert Prestipino & Kate Charters, and allowed us to work with our community leaders to develop a catalyst for regional economic development that responds to local values, aligns with government policy and is attractive to corporate investors. The Highfields Lifestyle Enterprise Precinct is a bold and innovative vision for a 19.6ha greenfield site in the heart of Highfields.
