Wednesday, 12 May 2004 12 May 2004 Legislative Assembly 873 WEDNESDAY, 12 MAY 2004 Legislative Assembly Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R.K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. AUDITOR-GENERAL'S REPORT Mr SPEAKER: Order! Honourable members I have to report that today I received from the Auditor-General a report titled Audit Report No. 7 2003-04: Results of Audits Performed for the 2002-03 Aboriginal Councils. I table the said report. PETITION The following honourable member has lodged a paper petition for presentation— Mental Illness Fellowship North Queensland Mr Wallace from 101 petitioners requesting the House to take all steps possible to assist the Mental Illness Fellowship North Queensland provide help for the rural caregivers of the Mentally Ill Program until the end of the financial year MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Aviation Industry Hon. P.D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.32 a.m.): The efforts of my government in developing an aviation industry are reaping reward after reward. Members have heard me detail how successful this has been with civilian operators of the likes of Virgin Blue and Australian Airlines. Today, this has now been further enhanced with developments in the defence sector. Australia is to get two more long-range radar surveillance aircraft. This means four Boeing-made AWE&Cs will be fitted out in Queensland, creating an extra 170 jobs over three years. This is a reported boost of some $800 million for the local defence industry. This fit-out is an ideal boost to the aviation industry in Queensland, given that the F-111 is to be phased out. The bonus is that this will be a high- tech, absolute state-of-the-art fit-out, which means that the technology and associated gains will be based right here in Queensland. This will be to our advantage and will mean that our growing reputation as the nation's aviation hub and its true centre of excellence will be put beyond doubt. Originally the four aircraft were going to be modified—all in the US. But the decision to buy an extra two means that it is now economical for the four to be modified at Amberley. The first aircraft will arrive for modification towards the end of next year. Boeing ensured that the work came to Queensland based on the continuing aviation capabilities here; confidence in and availability of skills; and the momentum of development created here by the state government. At this point I want to thank the Minister for State Development, Tony McGrady, and the former Minister for State Development, Tom Barton, for working closely with Boeing and me in developing this aviation strategy. This work will keep Amberley going past the loss of the F-111, which is due to be phased out in coming years. It will position Queensland to chase other large aircraft modification opportunities in both civil and defence areas. State Development and Innovation Minister, Tony McGrady, will meet David Gray, the Boeing Australia Managing Director, at lunchtime today at parliament. Today's exciting news follows last month's announcement of a $2 billion aircraft contract with links to Brisbane, with Qantas joining with European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company—EADS—to become the preferred tenderer on a defence contract. Coincidentally, I met with EADS officials in Marseilles while on my latest trade mission earlier last month. Qantas Defence Services and the military transport division of EADS have been chosen to provide the RAAF's fleet of new air-to-air refuelling aircraft. EADS A330 multirole tanker transport aircraft will replace the RAAF's ageing Boeing 707 aircraft. There will be five A330 aircraft. The basic aircraft construction will be carried out in Europe, while Qantas will install and integrate refuelling modifications for four of the five craft here in Brisbane. In Queensland alone we have seen the aviation industry sector expand by over 4,200 jobs since 1998. Today's news and the obvious flow-ons means that this will be the platform for even more and more jobs in this exciting Smart State sector. This is what the Smart State strategy has been all about, and it is delivering. This growth rate is sustainable. Since 1998, jobs created in the Queensland aerospace industry are significant. I seek to incorporate those details in Hansard. 874 Ministerial Statement 12 May 2004 Leave granted. These jobs include: • Virgin Blue headquarters, engineering and training facilities (about 2000 jobs) • Qantas 767 Maintenance Facility (680 jobs) • EADS Australian Aerospace Helicopter Assembly Facility (100 jobs) • Australian Airlines Operational Hub (300 jobs) • National Jet Systems Maintenance Facility (70 jobs) • Singapore Airlines Lear Jet Training Facility (15 jobs) • Raytheon Logistics Centre of Excellence (67 jobs) • Hawker Pacific Maintenance Facility (50 jobs) • Boeing Regional Headquarters (800 jobs) • Virgin Blue/Flight Safety Boeing Training International (50 jobs) • Smith Aerospace Headquarters (55 jobs) • Qantas Snapfresh Facility (230 jobs) Mr BEATTIE: As I said, the Smart State strategies are working and that is proof. MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Federal Budget Hon. P.D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.36 a.m.): Last night the federal Treasurer delivered a budget that further widened the gap between those who are better off and the battlers. It is a budget driven by ideology and cynical politics. The average taxpayer is already paying $5,500 more income tax every year under the Howard government. However, the tax cuts announced last night will help only those who are earning more than $52,000 per year. Mr Horan: Whinge, whinge, whinge. Mr SPEAKER: Order! The member for Toowoomba South! Mr BEATTIE: Big earners get big tax cuts under this budget. Mr Johnson interjected. Mr SPEAKER: Order! The member for Gregory! Mr BEATTIE: Average weekly earnings in Queensland for those working full time are around $48,200—about $4,000 short of where they need to be to get a tax cut. But the average weekly earnings for all employees, which includes part-timers, are $35,500—some $17,000 short of receiving a tax cut from the Liberal Treasurer. This means that the average Queenslander will not get back any of the thousands in extra tax that they have been paying. Mr Seeney interjected. Mr SPEAKER: Order! I intend to listen to this statement. If the member does not want to listen to it, he can leave the House. Mr BEATTIE: Nationally, 8.5 million Australian families will not receive a cent in tax cuts. What is more, they will have to pay more for health care and to give their kids an education as the federal government moves increasingly to a user-pays system to deliver basic services. More than $15 billion in tax cuts have been targeted at those who earn more than average weekly earnings. This is a tragedy for those Australians who are most in need. So much could have been done to boost the health, education and transport sectors, but was not. In the lead-up to the budget, I called on Mr Costello to show some care and compassion in his spending and put several areas of need in Queensland on his budget map. Last night, he threw care and compassion out the window. He has not taken the opportunity to reverse the cuts to hospital funding of $160 million imposed on Queensland by the federal government last year. Opposition members interjected. Mr Horan: You got more money. Tell the truth. Mr SPEAKER: Order! The member for Toowoomba South! Mr BEATTIE: Members should just think about the extra operations that could have been delivered and the thousands of Queenslanders who will now miss out on operations that would improve their quality of life. This is at a time when the Howard government has wrecked Medicare— Mr Horan: More money. Mr SPEAKER: Order! The member for Toowoomba South! That is my final warning. 12 May 2004 Ministerial Statement 875 Mr Horan interjected. Mr SPEAKER: Order! I intend to hear the statement. Mr BEATTIE: This is at a time when the Howard government has wrecked Medicare, driving down bulk-billing rates and forcing Australians to pay more to see a GP or put extra pressure on our hospital emergency departments. This budget fails the almost 35,000 Australians who are turning away from university and TAFE every year because of inadequate federal funding being turned. The 25 per cent HECS hikes, legislated last December, mean that on average the cost to students and families will be an extra $1,336 each year from 2005. There is no new funding in this budget for vocational education, even though skills shortages are readily beginning to bite and thousands of Queenslanders are being turned away. This falls pathetically short of the extra $348 million— Mr Johnson: That is because of policies of your government. That is why. Mr SPEAKER: Order! Member for Gregory, I now warn you. This is my final warning. Mr BEATTIE: This falls pathetically short of the extra $348 million that was needed. The small increase of 1,410 places to Queensland was already funded. So where is the $3 billion over the next five years just to bring Queensland's national highways to a reasonable standard? The Commonwealth has put in only an extra net $1.9 billion over five years in roads and rail funding for all of Australia. That is a pathetic disgrace. Those who are stuck in traffic on the Ipswich Motorway, the Pacific Highway and the Bruce Highway have had it confirmed once again that the federal government has no interest in them at all. What is the Howard government's game plan to home affordability? While most states have been delivering cuts in stamp duty for first home buyers, as we did, the federal budget does nothing for first home owners.

  • Procol Harum Live in Italia Per Tre Imperdibili Concerti in Occasione Dei 50 Anni Di Carriera
    MERCOLEDì 4 OTTOBRE 2017 I Procol Harum, una delle band leggendarie del panorama internazionale, celebrano 50 anni di carriera e arrivano in Italia tra pochissimi giorni. Sarà questa un'occasione speciale e imperdibile per vedere il gruppo Procol Harum live in Italia per tre finalmente sul palco, dato che si esibiscono dal vivo in pochi selezionati imperdibili concerti in occasione concerti e l'ultima volta nel nostro paese risale al 2010. La band dei 50 anni di carriera: il 6 ottobre britannica sarà a Milano il 6 ottobre (Teatro Dal Verme), a Pordenone il 7 a Milano, il 7 a Pordenone e il 9 a (Palasport) e a Roma il 9 (Auditorium Parco della Musica). Roma I Procol Harum si formano nel 1967 dal sodalizio tra Gary Brooker, pianista dei Paramounts, e dell'amico Keith Reid(spesso definito il Mogol della musica leggera inglese). Nasceva uno dei più grandi gruppi rock di tutti i tempi, uno dei primissimi gruppi progressive inglesi, che, nell'anno del debutto, sbancava letteralmente il mercato discografico internazionale con A whiter shade of pale, uno dei singoli più venduti al ANTONIO GALLUZZO mondo (ben 10 milioni di copie) ed una delle canzoni più riconoscibili e suonate di sempre. In Italia rimase per mesi in testa alla hit parade, e da molti è conosciuta nella versione italiana. I Procol Harum hanno regalato [email protected] al pubblico una decina di album con brani celebri, tra i quali SPETTACOLINEWS.IT ricordiamo Homburg, Conquistador, Pandora's Box, As strong as Samson, A Salty Dog (divenuta sigla di un programma televisivo), e tutti quelli di un album tanto bello quanto sottovalutato degli anni '70 come Grand Hotel.

  • PROCOL HARUM 2014 BIOGRAPHY Procol Harum Are Still Going Strong
    PROCOL HARUM 2014 BIOGRAPHY Procol Harum are still going strong. March 2014 sees a new double CD, Inside/Outside, celebrating over forty years of studio and live recordings. In addition the spring will see a new download-only release, Some Long Road, featuring tracks from the band’s 2012 US tour. Alongside this Procol continue to tour many parts of the world, and are considering options on three continents at the moment. You could not be blamed for thinking that, with the monumental success of Procol's first smash hit, the band just stopped there, like so many others. Even the recently-awarded accolade of ‘most- played single of the past seventy-five years’ has not quelled their need to go forward: hence 2014’s new live album. In the past couple of years they have released ten re-mastered CD albums, plus the 2CD anthology Secrets of the Hive (all generally available in Europe, and sourceable on import); their DVDs In Concert with the Danish National Concert Orchestra and Live at Union Chapel have been widely acclaimed. There’s also a special 4-disc CD/DVD box-set compendium – aptly entitled All this and More – featuring 68 of the band’s many unique compositions: this prompted Classic Rock magazine to observe, ‘it’s small wonder The Who’s Tommy and Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody can be traced to Procol’s influence’. It could be termed a plethora of Procol. The quality of writing and performance has remained Procol Harum’s gold standard through the gradually-mutating line-ups: each participating musician has kept the ideas flowing and prevented Procol from resting on their laurels.

  • Procol Harum – Novum
    Procol Harum – Novum (56:04, CD, DoLP, Eagle/Universal, 2017) 50 Jahre Procol Harum – wenn das im Jahr 2017 kein Grund zum Feiern ist. Die Mannen um das einzig verbliebene Gründungsmitglied, Mastermind, Pianist und Sänger Gary Brooker, zelebrieren diese besondere Zahl auch mit Aktivität. So erscheint ihr zwölftes Studioalbum sowohl als CD als auch als DoLP und anschließend geht es auf Tournee. Im September kommen sie auch für neun Konzerte nach Deutschland. Vierzehn Jahre liegt ihre letzte Studioscheibe “The Wells On Fire“ schon zurück, sodass „Novum“ das Vermächtnis von Procol Harum werden könnte. Das wunderschöne Artwork entwarf Julia Brown aka Julia King, die mit dem Covermotiv Erinnerungen an das Jugendstil-Artwork des Debütalbums weckt. Procol Harums Zwölfte bietet elf neue Tracks – die Japanversion sogar zwei Bonustracks mit ‚Honour‘ und der Radioversion von ‚Sunday Morning‘ – bei einer Laufzeit von 56:04 Minuten. Kompositorisch werden einige Veränderungen geboten.Keith Reid, der Texter der Band seit den ersten Tagen, ist nicht mehr an Bord. Hierfür zeichnet sich nun, bis auf zwei Songs, Pete Brown aus, der schon für Cream, Jack Bruce oder Colosseum textete, der aber auch gerne als Sänger auf der Bühne steht, sich als Autor für Filme betätigt und selber Inhaber einer Filmproduktionsfirma ist. Während Gary Brooker bisher alles Musikalische, neben einigen Songs mit Matthew Fisher und Robin Trower, selbst komponierte, hat er nun die kompositorische Verantwortung – bis auf den Gesangs-Piano-Schlusstrack ‚Somewhen‘ – auf mehrere Schultern verteilt. Trotzdem bleibt die verträumt-melancholische Stimmung ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der Procol-Harum-Musik, wobei die Inspirationen aus der Klassik weiterhin gekonnt mit bluesig- rockiger Kompositionsgüte verbunden wird.

  • PROCOL HARUM Am Sonntag, 14.10.2018 Um 20:00 H Im Gasometer Bank Austria Halle Guglgasse 6 1110 Wien Ein
    Der Vorstand der Österreichisch-Britischen Gesellschaft ( ABS ) lädt alle Firmen- und Vorstandsmitglieder der Österreichisch-Britischen Gesellschaft zum Live Konzert mit PROCOL HARUM am Sonntag, 14.10.2018 um 20:00 h im Gasometer Bank Austria Halle Guglgasse 6 1110 Wien ein. Welches ist die meist gespielte Single weltweit der letzten 57 Jahre? Hätten Sie es gewusst? Dem Internet sei dank - somit wissen wir es jetzt alle: "A Whiter Shade of Pale" von Procol Harum, 1967 veröffentlicht. Diesen und viele andere Hits werden wir live erleben. Die englische Kultband aus den 60iger Jahren tritt noch immer (nach einer Unterbrechung) öffentlich auf. Der Gründer und Sänger Gary Brooker ist noch von der Anfangsformation dabei. Gary Brooker und Keith Reid gründeten Procol Harum 1967. Der Bandname soll durch die Falschschreibung aufgrund der telefonischen Übermittlung eines Katzennamens „Procul Harum“ entstanden sein. Procol Harum wurde im Frühjahr 1967 vor allem mit einem Lied bekannt: A Whiter Shade of Pale wurde kurz nach seiner Veröffentlichung 2,5 Millionen Mal und seitdem weltweit mindestens 6 Millionen Mal verkauft. Dieser Erfolg traf die Autoren Brooker und Reid unvorbereitet. Es folgten weitere Hits wie Homburg und A Salty Dog . Auch in den 1970er Jahren hatten Procol Harum Erfolg, unter anderem mit dem Album Grand Hotel . Die Besetzung wechselte – bis auf Brooker, Wilson und Reid – häufig. Die Band veröffentlichte bis zu ihrer Auflösung 1977 zehn Alben, darunter Live with the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra . Sie zeichnete sich durch einfallsreiche, oft an klassischer Musik orientierte Kompositionen aus. Daneben finden sich im Werk von Procol Harum aber auch immer wieder Songs, die stark im Blues verwurzelt sind.

The Australian Labor Party (ALP) is Australia’s longstanding social democratic party and one of the first in the world to achieve government.1 Yet, it is important to recognise that without the influence of feminism, social democracy in Australia (as elsewhere) would have been a much diminished movement that risked representing only half of the population, not only in terms of policy but also in terms of gender representation. As late as 1973, Gough Whitlam (1973: 1152) acknowledged that the ALP was “a male dominated Party, in a male dominated Parliament in a male dominated society”. Indeed, there were no female Labor members of parliament at that time (Whitlam 1973: 1152).2 Twenty years later, there were still only nine female Labor members of the House of Representatives and four
