Absence of Minister Questions Without Notice ABSENCE OF MINISTER Tuesday, 17 September 1991 ASSEMBLY 593 Tuesday, 17 September 1991 Victoria has an independent gaming commission that will handle all licence issues. I believe it is important for the government to have advice from all groups on this matter. Like the The SPEAKER (Hon. Ken Coghill) took the chair at Leader of the Opposition, from time to time I meet 2.4 p.m. and read the prayer. with a number of people who wish to invest in Victoria, such as Mr Lustig and Mr Marriner. ABSENCE OF MINISTER Because of the sensible decision of the House, the decision on the casino will be made by the The SPEAKER - Order! I advise the House that independent gaming commission, over which the Treasurer will be absent during question time neither side of the House has any influence. today. The Minister for Labour will act as Leader of the House and the Minister for Finance will act for MEAT INDUSTRY the Treasurer. Mr W. D. McGRATH (Lowan) - I refer the Premier to the condition of the meat export industry QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE in Victoria and ask: does she accept the statement made today by the former Minister for Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the honourable member for PROPOSED MELBOURNE CASINO Essendon, Mr Rowe, that the Premier chose not to submit an independent, rational synopsis of the industry and its future direction to the Harrison Mr KENNElT (Leader of the Opposition) - I inquiry; and if so why did she overrule her then refer the Premier to the government's plans to Minister? establish a casino in Melbourne and ask: did the Premier recently meet with American Nevada-based Ms KIRNER (Premier) - I am pleased that the interests regarding the operating licence for the meat industry continues to be a major matter of casino proposed by the government at Docklands? If interest to the House. The determination of who and so, will she advise the House with whom she met; what goes to Canberra in the form of submissions on what date; and whether she is aware that those made by Cabinet -- interests are claiming to others in America that they have secured the operating licence? Honourable members interjecting. Ms KIRNER (Premier) - In answer to the last Ms KIRNER - The determination was part of the question, certainly not, I was not aware of made-- that. Mr McNamara - Not by me! Nothing to do with Mr Steve Wynn, who is a casino operator in me! America, came to Australia for the express purpose of meeting Mr Nick Greiner and me to discuss the Ms KIRNER - I don't intend to blame you for establishment of a casino.

Melbourne, which has a commitment to getting the casino up and nmning in Melbourne ahead of the We are now poised to take advantage of the work New South Wales casino. the government has been doing on the meat industry. The licensing issue was not discussed at that meeting, which was attended by the Minister for Mr W. D. McGrath interjected. Major Projects, who is responsible for the casino, and Mr Eric Mayer, who is Chairperson of the The SPEAKER - Order! The Deputy Leader of Docklands Authority. the National Party has asked his question; he should allow the Premier to reply without interruption. If I did consider very carefully whether I should meet he has a further question he should await his with the gentleman but I determined that it was opportunity. appropriate since, with the agreement of this House, QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE 594 ASSEMBLY Tuesday. 17 September 1991 Ms KIRNER - Unlike the opposition, which The SPEAKER - Order! The honourable continues to peddle misinfonnation on the meat member for Malvern is out of order. industry in Victoria, we know that for the twelve months ended June this year the amount of meat Ms KIRNER - And by improving public sector exported from Victoria has increased, not decreased, efficiency. The removal of that surcharge will mean from-- $130 million to business in Victoria during the next twelve months - a saving of $130 million! Mr W. D. McGrath interjected. Together with our Victoria First initiatives on Ms KIRNER - They do not like the facts. They savings to employers that I announced earlier this spend their time downgrading every single industry year, in just over a year the savings to employers in Victoria for their own political purposes. When will amount to $200 million. they are interviewed by the Weekly Times or the Herald-Sun they do not bother to say that 124 000 What was the reaction of the opposition to this - tonnes of meat were exported from Victoria in and I notice that the honourable member for 1989-90 and 184 000 tonnes in 1990-91 - an increase Hawthorn, the responder, has left, probably to count in exports. his numbers again - action, this success for Victoria? Its response was that this is a transparent Sure, more can be done but it will not be done by action by the government to increase employment. constantly denigrating one section of the meat industry. It will be done by the cooperative way the They were right! At last the opposition has got it Minister for Agriculture is getting together all the absolutely right. It is an action by the Victorian players - the unions, the employers and the government to encourage employers to invest in processing people - and through the Minister for Victoria. One of the major issues that has been put Manufacturing and Industry Development, David before the government by the employers is that they White, moving the industry into the 21st century. In want the government to reduce WorkCare costs, and many respects it is not even in the twentieth century we are doing that. As well as that, in very tight at present -and you people know that! Instead of budgetary times the government has reduced land constantly trying to score political points that tax to a section of employers and reduced payroll denigrate the industry, we should be cooperating to costs to a section of employers, and we intend to improve it. continue reducing costs to employers so that they will know that. this is a government, in contrast to WORKCARE the opposition, that has long-term policies for sustainable recovery. Mr MICALLEF (Springvale) - Will the Premier outline to the House the progress the government is PAYMENT TO TRANSPORT EMPLOYEE making in reducing costs to business, especially WorkCare costs? Mr BROWN (Gippsland West) - Will the Minister for Transport explain to the House why he Ms KIRNER (Premier) - Our government is instructed the Public Transport Corporation to working towards a long-term, sustainable recovery employ his friend Mr Gordon? in Victoria. That has to be done by many facets of action, including micro-economic reform and also Mr SPYKER (Minister for Transport) - At least including reducing costs to business. the honourable member for Gippsland West is now allowed to ask a question. As I said to the House last Yesterday I was very pleased to announce, with the week, the contract that Mr Gordon had with the Minister for Labour, who deserves congratulations Public Transport Corporation was a valid and legal on his work with WorkCare, that our government contract. will further cut business costs in Victoria by removing the 10 per cent surcharge on WorkCare. WORKCARE We will not stop there. We will further reduce the costs of WorkCare by looking at the issues of legal Mrs WILSON (Dandenong North) - Will the and health costs, and by looking at long-term claims Minister for Labour advise the House of any recent advice he has received on WorkCare costs? Mr Leigh - All you can do is read! QUESTIONS WITHOUT NOTICE Tuesday, 17 September 1991 ASSEMBLY 595 Mr POPE (Minister for Labour) - As all arrest the $4.2 billion unfunded liabilities but that honourable members will now be aware the that figure would probably blowout. actuary's report for the year ended June 1991 has been tabled in Parliament. I believe most honourable Perhaps they were listening to the honourable members have probably received that report, which member for Brighton, who said back in April this reveals that the unfunded liability of the WorkCare year that the unfunded liabilities, which at that stage scheme is down to $1.8 billion -- according to the December report were $2.1 billion, would plateau and go back up again. The reality is Mr MACLELLAN (Berwick) - On a point of that another $300 million has been taken off order, Mr Speaker, the Minister has said that the unfunded liabilities in the past six months. The report has been tabled in the House. I understand it present actuarial report indicates that the reason for has not yet been tabled in the House. the turnaround is basically the government's 1989 reforms. Mr POPE (Minister for Labour) - On the point of order, Mr Speaker, I indicated that it had been tabled There has been an enormous decrease in claims, to the Parliament. I understand it was given to you, brought about by the prevention programs that have Mr Speaker, and to the President of the Legislative now been put in place through the Occupational Council about 11 o'clock yesterday morning.

    Victorian Water Quality Monitoring Network Trend Analysis Corangamite Catchment Management Authority Area Produced for the Department of Natural Resources and Environment by Sinclair Knight Merz Victorian Water Quality Monitoring Network Trend Analysis Corangamite Catchment Management Authority Area Other reports in this series: Victorian Statewide Summary East Gippsland Catchment Management Authority Area Glenelg Catchment Management Authority Area Goulburn Catchment Management Authority Area Mallee Catchment Management Authority Area North Central Catchment Management Authority Area North East Catchment Management Authority Area Port Phillip Catchment Management Authority Area West Gippsland Catchment Management Authority Area Wimmera Catchment Management Authority Area Prepared by W.E. Smith and R.J. Nathan Sinclair Knight Merz Executive Summary The Victorian Water Quality Monitoring Network (VWQMN) consists of around 280 stations located throughout Victoria. A range of water quality indicators are measured at these sites and data has been measured for up to 25 years at approximately monthly intervals. While this data set represents a substantial body of information, to date there has been no systematic and consistent analysis of the data that provides an assessment of the temporal and spatial variation of the indicators. Such analysis can provide valuable information regarding the impacts of past management practices on catchment processes, the impact of land management practices and interventions, and the likely direction of future water quality changes. The scope of this report is to present the nature and significance of time trends in water quality data recorded at VWQMN sites within the region controlled by the Corangamite Catchment Management Authority. Only stations with records greater than ten years were used, and the indicators considered were pH, turbidity, electrical conductivity (EC), total phosphorus and total nitrogen.

  • A 'Common-Sense Revolution'? the Transformation of the Melbourne City
    A ‘COMMON-SENSE REVOLUTION’? THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE MELBOURNE CITY COUNCIL, 1992−9 A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy April, 2015 Angela G. Munro Faculty of Business, Government and Law Institute for Governance and Policy Analysis University of Canberra ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis is the culmination of almost fifty years’ interest professionally and as a citizen in local government. Like many Australians, I suspect, I had barely noticed it until I lived in England where I realised what unique attributes it offered, despite the different constitutional arrangements of which it was part. The research question of how the disempowerment and de-democratisation of the Melbourne City Council from 1992−9 was possible was a question with which I had wrestled, in practice, as a citizen during those years. My academic interest was piqued by the Mayor of Stockholm to whom I spoke on November 18, 1993, the day on which the Melbourne City Council was sacked. ‘That couldn’t happen here’, he said. I have found the project a herculean labour, since I recognised the need to go back to 1842 to track the institutional genealogy of the City Council’s development in the pre- history period to 1992 rather than a forensic examination of the seven year study period. I have been exceptionally fortunate to have been supervised by John Halligan, Professor of Public Administration at University of Canberra. An international authority in the field, Professor Halligan has published extensively on Australian systems of government including the capital cities and the Melbourne City Council in particular.

  • Development of a SWAT Model in the Yarra River Catchment
    20th International Congress on Modelling and Simulation, Adelaide, Australia, 1–6 December 2013 www.mssanz.org.au/modsim2013 Development of a SWAT model in the Yarra River catchment S.K. Dasa, A.W.M. Nga and B.J.C. Pereraa a College of Engineering and Science, Victoria University, Melbourne 14428, Australia Email: [email protected] Abstract: The degradation of river water quality in Victorian agricultural catchments is of concern. Physics-based models are useful analysis tools to understand diffuse pollution and find solutions through best management practices. However, because of high data requirements and processing, use of these models is limited in many data-poor catchments; for example the Australian catchments where water quality and land use management data are very sparse. Recently, with the advent of computationally efficient computers and GIS software, physics-based models are increasingly being called upon in data-poor regions. SWAT is a promising model for long-term continuous simulations in predominantly agricultural catchments. Limited application of SWAT has been found in Australia for modeling hydrology only. Adoption of SWAT as a tool for predicting land use change impacts on water quality in the Yarra River catchment, Victoria (Australia) is currently being considered. The objective of this paper is to evaluate hydrological behaviour of SWAT model in the agricultural part of the Yarra River catchment for 1990-2008 periods. The SWAT model requires the following data: digital elevation model (DEM), land use, soil, land use management and daily climate data for driving the model, and streamflow and water quality data for calibrating the model.

  • A Case Study on Yarra River
    Management of Agricultural Non-point Source Pollution – A Case Study on Yarra River By Sushil Kumar Das Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy College of Engineering and Science Victoria University, Australia August 2016 ABSTRACT The development and use of any specific model depend on the availability of data and the hydrological settings of a country. Because of data limitations (especially water quality and land management data), the water quality models developed for Australian catchments are lumped/semi-distributed conceptual models. Even within these modelling frameworks, water quality component is empirical or generation rates-based. In this context, developing an effective water quality management plan in the data-poor conditions of Australia still remains as a major challenge for water catchment managers, despite huge investment on river health improvement programs. Physics-based distributed water quality models such as SWAT are most suitable for agricultural non-point source pollution studies. However, because of high data requirement and processing, the applications of these models are limited in many data- poor catchments. In this study, relevant input data sources and analysis techniques were addressed especially for sparsely available water quality data to assemble, and to rigorously calibrate and validate the SWAT based Middle Yarra Water Quality Model (MYWQM) for the case study area - Middle Yarra Catchment (MYC) of Victoria, Australia. The regression based model LOADEST was used for estimating sediment, and nutrient observed loads from monthly water quality grab sample data. The MYWQM was then used to develop a water quality management plan for agricultural non-point source pollution in the MYC.
