Legislative Assembly Hansard 1985
Queensland Parliamentary Debates [Hansard] Legislative Assembly TUESDAY, 26 NOVEMBER 1985 Electronic reproduction of original hardcopy Privilege 26 November 1985 2701 TUESDAY, 26 NOVEMBER 1985 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. J. H. Wamer, Toowoomba South) read prayers and took the chair at 11 a.m. PRIVILEGE Criticism of Mr Speaker; Referral to Select Committee of Privileges Mr WARBURTON (Sandgate—Leader of the Opposition) (11.1 a.m.): I rise on a matter of privilege. In doing so, I refer you, Mr Speaker, to Standing Order No. 46, which states— "An urgent Motion, directly conceming the privileges of the House, shall take precedence of other Motions as well as of Orders of the Day." Because of the public criticism of the Speaker of the Parliament by a member of the Govemment as a result of last Thursday's events in this House, it seems to me that a question of privilege arises. For a Govemment member to say publicly that the Speaker is unable to manage the job, and for that member to be publicly critical of the Speaker's performance is a matter of grave concem. As a result of those comments, the Speaker has been quoted as saying that he was aware that two Ministers were mnning round the House lobbying to have him replaced. Mr Speaker, the public attack on your position, together with your response, which implies that certain National Party Ministers are undermining your position, necessitates discussion and relevant responsible action by members in this place. I hope that it is not necessary to remind the Premier and Treasurer and aU other members that the Speaker holds the position because of the Parliament and not because of the National Party Govemment. -

STAR THEATRE (Kalinga)
STAR THEATRE (Kalinga) AUSTRALIAN VARIETY THEATRE ARCHIVE: RESEARCH NOTES See last page for citation, copyright and last updated details. aka Kalinga Picture Palace / Kalinga Picture Theatre / Kalinga Theatre (ca. 1920 -early 1960s). Lodge Street (corner of Dawson Street) An open-air picture theatre likely operated in Kalinga from at least September 1920. The earliest reference found to date is in an electoral advertisement published on 4 October that year. Initially known as the Kalinga Picture Palace (aka Kalinga Pictures) it was renamed the Star Theatre sometime between late-1925 and early-1926, and from 1929 was fully enclosed. Because its patrons mostly comprised locals, films were not always screened every night of the week and hence the venue was often utilised by community groups and nearby schools. The extent to which the venue presented live entertainment is currently unknown due very limited programme advertising in the metropolitan newspapers. The building, which reportedly seated between 400 and 500 people, was destroyed by fire in the early 1960s and replaced by a service station. Star Theatre, ca. 1937 Source: Windsor and Districts Historical Society. 1920: The 4 October electoral advertisement noted above appears in the Daily Standard newspaper (page 8) in order to announce a series of speeches to be given by the Labor party's endorsed candidate for Windsor, Mr H. G. McPhail. The Kalinga Picture Palace was one of two venues to be utilised that same night. 1926: The name Star Theatre is mentioned in connection with Kalinga as early as 6 March 1926. It is included in a list of Queensland cinemas showing Paramount films that appear in the Brisbane Courier (9). -

Aboriginal Camps As Urban Foundations? Evidence from Southern Queensland Ray Kerkhove
Aboriginal camps as urban foundations? Evidence from southern Queensland Ray Kerkhove Musgrave Park: Aboriginal Brisbane’s political heartland In 1982, Musgrave Park in South Brisbane took centre stage in Queensland’s ‘State of Emergency’ protests. Bob Weatherall, President of FAIRA (Foundation for Aboriginal and Islanders Research Action), together with Neville Bonner – Australia’s first Aboriginal Senator – proclaimed it ‘Aboriginal land’. Musgrave Park could hardly be more central to the issue of land rights. It lies in inner Brisbane – just across the river from the government agencies that were at the time trying to quash Aboriginal appeals for landownership, yet within the state’s cultural hub, the South Bank Precinct. It was a very contentious green space. Written and oral sources concur that the park had been an Aboriginal networking venue since the 1940s.1 OPAL (One People of Australia League) House – Queensland’s first Aboriginal-focused organisation – was established close to the park in 1961 specifically to service the large number of Aboriginal people already using it. Soon after, many key Brisbane Aboriginal services sprang up around the park’s peripheries. By 1971, the Black Panther party emerged with a dramatic march into central Brisbane.2 More recently, Musgrave Park served as Queensland’s ‘tent 1 Aird 2001; Romano 2008. 2 Lothian 2007: 21. 141 ABORIGINAL HISTORY VOL 42 2018 embassy’ and tent city for a series of protests (1988, 2012 and 2014).3 It attracts 20,000 people to its annual NAIDOC (National Aboriginal and Islander Day Observance Committee) Week, Australia’s largest-attended NAIDOC venue.4 This history makes Musgrave Park the unofficial political capital of Aboriginal Brisbane. -

Queensland Government Gazette Extraordinary
[2249] Queensland Government Gazette Extraordinary PP 451207100087 PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY ISSN 0155-9370 Vol. 348] Wednesday 20 August 2008 [No. 111 Electoral Act 1992 QUEENSLAND REDISTRIBUTION COMMISSION NOTIFICATION UNDER SECTION 51(1) OF THE ELECTORAL ACT 1992 DETERMINATION OF QUEENSLAND LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY ELECTORAL DISTRICTS Pursuant to section 51(1) of the Electoral Act 1992, the Queensland Redistribution Commission has redistributed Queensland into 89 electoral districts whose names and boundaries are set out in this notice. As required by section 53(2)(b)(ii) of the Act, the Commission’s reasons for redistributing the State in this way are also set out in this notice. 22502 QUEENSLAND GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 11100 [20 August 2008 20 August 2008] QUEENSLAND GOVERNMENT GAZETTE No. 00 3 Electoral Act 1992 INTRODUCTION Queensland’s Parliamentary democracy is based on the principle of equal representation, or ‘one vote-one value’. Accordingly, the Electoral Act 1992 (“the Act”) provides for the periodic review of State electoral boundaries to ensure that, as far as practicable, there is the same number of electors in each electoral district (otherwise referred to in the text as ‘electorates’). Part 3 of the Act sets out how such reviews are to be conducted. Section 7 provides for the establishment of an independent Queensland Redistribution Commission (‘the Commission’), constituted of: • A judge or former judge of a court of the Commonwealth or a State or Territory (as chairperson); • The chief executive of a government department; and • The Electoral Commissioner. The members of the Commission for the 2008 Redistribution were: • The Hon. Alan Demack, AO, a retired judge of the Supreme Court of Queensland – Chairperson; • Ms Rachel Hunter, Director-General, Department of Education Training and the Arts; and • Mr David Kerslake, Electoral Commissioner for Queensland This booklet sets out the revised electoral districts that have been adopted by the Commission for the State of Queensland. -
Hydrology Hydraulics
Gateway Upgrade Project 11. Hydrology/Hydraulics 11 Gateway Upgrade Project Hydrology/Hydraulics Environmental Impact Statement 11. Hydrology/Hydraulics 11.1 Introduction The GUP has the potential to impact upon the hydraulic regime of a number of waterway corridors located along the alignment. As such this hydraulic assessment has been undertaken to achieve the following objectives: • Provide Base Case (ie Existing Case), hydraulic details including flood levels, flows and velocities for the 100 year ARI design event; • Determine impacts on the flood regime due to introduction of the works (eg bridge crossings, culverts and embankments) associated with the GUP; and • Develop mitigation options to minimise the impact of the proposed works. Due to the flood sensitive nature of the waterway corridors a detailed investigation has been undertaken in which numerous mitigation options have been considered. An hydraulic assessment report has been prepared that fully documents the investigation undertaken and this is presented in Appendix H. This section of the EIS provides an overview of the work undertaken and presents key outcomes. 11.2 Methodology In order to assess the impacts of the GUP detailed 2-dimensional hydraulic models of Bulimba Creek and Kedron Brook Floodway were developed using the Danish Hydraulic Institute’s MIKE 21 software package. For this investigation the 2-dimensional MIKE 21 modelling was adopted to enable more accurate modelling of the highly complex and meandering Bulimba Creek system and the skewed bridge crossing over Kedron Brook Floodway. This modelling approach uses a topographic surface (or terrain model) to accurately represent flowpaths. The topographic information was obtained from the Aerial Laser Survey (ALS) provided by AAMHatch.
