  • Queensland January to June 2005 PAUL D
    Political Chronicles 595 Queensland January to June 2005 PAUL D. WILLIAMS Griffith University The Economy — Mixed News The year began satisfactorily for the government when a mid-year review forecast a revised budget surplus of $1.1 billion, or $450 million higher than expected (Courier- Mail, 13 January 2005). Equally pleasing was a Queensland unemployment rate of 4.3 per cent, which allowed Queensland, for the first time in twenty-five years, to boast Australia's lowest level (Courier-Mail, 8 April 2005). But some regions grew faster than others, with the Darling Downs becoming Queensland's "powerhouse" with an unemployment rate of just 2.3 per cent (Courier-Mail, 1 February 2005). The state's inflation rate of 0.5 per cent for the June quarter — or 2.5 per cent annually — remained comparable with the national average (www.abs.gov.au/ausstats) . Such robust growth encouraged the Beattie Government to resist Commonwealth proposals to further reform industrial relations. In 2003-04, exports valued at $26.2 billion showed a real decline of 3 per cent, while imports rose 10 per cent. Coal and beef were among the hardest hit, despite generating overall revenue of $8 billion (Courier-Mail, 2 February 2005). Other crises included the closure of a Bundaberg sugar processing plant with the loss of 100 jobs, and Queensland Rail's loss of contract with its largest freight customer, Toll Holdings, a loss attributed to cost increases of up to 48 per cent (Courier-Mail, 11, 22 February 2005). SEQ Infrastructure and the Budget — Counterbalance to Crises The Beattie Government pre-empted its own budget with the announcement in late April of its long-awaited Southeast Queensland Regional Plan, a bold $55 billion capital works vision covering some 230 separate projects designed to accommodate the one million additional residents expected to settle in the state's southeast over the next 596 Political Chronicles twenty years.

  • Queensland July to December 2005
    304 Political Chronicles Queensland July to December 2005 PAUL D. WILLIAMS Grth University Observers of Queensland politics could be forgiven for thinking only one issue occupied the state's public sphere in the latter half of 2005: the management (or mismanagement) of health policy. Indeed, the allegations that an allegedly negligent, overseas-trained surgeon caused numerous patient deaths at Bundaberg Hospital (first raised in April 2005 — see previous chronicle) were so convulsive in their effect on the public mood that we may remember 2005's "Dr Death" saga as the principal turning point downwards in the electoral fortunes of Premier Peter Beattie. Moreover, damaging accusations of a "culture" of secrecy within Queensland Health that obfuscated evidence of malpractice directly or indirectly spawned a series of significant events, including four inquiries (of which three were judicial), a ministerial dismissal, two lost by-elections, a reformed Liberal-National coalition and, of course, a collapse in the government's and the Premier's public opinion leads. The Economy The state of the Queensland economy, while generally good, was perhaps less sanguine than many had hoped. While unemployment mid-year stood at just 3.9 per cent, then the second lowest in the nation (Courier- Mail, 8 July 2006), by year's close it once again had climbed toward 5 per cent (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs%40.nsf/mf/6202.0) . Inflation, too, proved challenging, with the consumer price index increasing 0.8 percentage points in the December quarter (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/ abs%40.nsf/mf/6401.0).

  • A Critical Analysis of the Purposes of the Queensland Police Move-On Powers
    The reasons and the reality: A critical analysis of the purposes of the Queensland police move-on powers Megan McKay Bachelor of Arts Humanities Program Queensland University of Technology This thesis is submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Bachelor of Arts (Honours) 2008 “The legislation spells out clearly what it [the Queensland police move-on powers] is to be used for. We are not singling out any particular group” – The Honourable Theo Cooper (then Minister for Police and Corrective Services and Minister for Racing) (Queensland Parliament, 1997c, p. 4393). “Move-on powers are not focused on any particular age group, sex, colour or race within the community. They only come into play when a person acts in a manner contrary to public interest as determined by this parliament” – The Honourable Judy Spence (then Minister for Police and Corrective Services) (Queensland Parliament, 2006d, p. 1814). Interviewer: …You’ve already kind of said young people may be being disproportionately targeted using the powers – do you feel there are any other demographic groups that may be… Jordan: Yeah. Interviewer: …targeted? Jordan: Well, Indigenous people, obviously, and people with mental illness. Ah, they’re the, the main one and, y’ know, homeless people. Megan McKay 04404254 ii Note Where reference is made in this thesis to a piece of legislation or policy that is currently in force, the version of the piece of the legislation or policy referred to is that which was in force as on October 9, 2008. Amendments to these legislative acts and policies, including their repeal, may have been made subsequent to this date.

  • Queensland July to December, 2006
    Political Chronicles 301 Queensland July to December, 2006 PAUL D. WILLIAMS Griffith University and The Courier Mail Overview The last half of 2006 saw some government crises — health and water — continue, and new crises emerge over scandals involving former ministers and protests over dams and Palm Island. But a lacklustre — even self-immolating — Opposition failed to 302 Political Chronicles exploit these dramas that, after a change in the Liberal leadership, saw the Labor government comfortably returned at an early general election. Before the Storm... Health issues again launched the period when news leaked of a memo from Queensland Health Director-General Uschi Schreiber that hospital surgery waiting lists remained static, despite government advertising, costing more than $3 million, claiming the contrary (Courier Mail, 10 July, 2006). But water remained the government's principal concern. In considering two dam proposals, Premier Peter Beattie faced angry protestors in July at Rathdowney (near Beaudesert), only to tell them that Wyralong (near Boonah) would be the new dam site, and not Tilley's Bridge. Fifteen properties at Boonah were set for resumption at a cost of $30 million. But Beattie's problems had only begun at the Traveston Crossing (near Gympie) dam site. Despite offering the "good" news of halving the dam's size, the premier still faced 2,000 hostile locals. Noosa Labor MP Cate Molloy continued her opposition to the dam (see previous chronicle) and voted with the Opposition at an Estimates Committee hearing in demand of the tabling of all related documents. Around the same time, the Premier launched into capital works overdrive and announced $10 billion of infrastructure spending over four years, largely, it was assumed, to placate an anxious business community before the state election.

  • Political Chronicle 397 Queensland: January-June 1997
    Political Chronicle 397 Queensland: January-June 1997 The Politics of Confrontation — Queensland Style At the start of the new year the Coalition Government and Labor Opposition in Queensland were determined to repair their political fortunes and return from the political dead. The previous tumultuous twelve months had taken their toll on both sides of politics. The Coalition appeared disorganised, variously incompetent and engaged in a steep learning curve after arriving in office. Labor by contrast were dejected, revengeful and feeling their way with a relatively new and untested front bench. The three party leaders still appeared shell-shocked and unfamiliar with their new responsibilities. Behind the scenes members of the public service were floundering and looking for direction now that "policy" had become a dirty word associated with the previous Labor Government. The electorate had suspended judgement and most appeared not to want another election so soon after the unexpected outcome of 1995-96. The Coalition Government was anxious to begin the year afresh with some of the political scandals and controversies which dogged the new government in 1996 seeming to have 398 Political Chronicle abated. The government now intended to focus Country-based National Party members were on imposing its own mark in a range of policy most in danger of losing support in the event of areas while gradually accumulating a record of a challenge from the right-wing One Nation achievements. It was beginning to look at party, although city and provincial Labor seats improving its electoral chances and preparing were also not immune. The electorate remained the way for re-election.
