  • INAUGURAL SPEECH Mr SKELTON (Nicklin—ALP) (11.18 Am): I Would Like to Begin by Acknowledging the First Nation People on Whose Land We Meet: the Turrbal People
    Speech By Robert Skelton MEMBER FOR NICKLIN Record of Proceedings, 1 December 2020 INAUGURAL SPEECH Mr SKELTON (Nicklin—ALP) (11.18 am): I would like to begin by acknowledging the First Nation people on whose land we meet: the Turrbal people. I also acknowledge the Kabi Kabi people, whose land I am honoured to speak of in this place, and I pay my respects to their leaders past, present and emerging. I was born an Army brat and spent my early life travelling around the country with my family and sister Cassandra as my father, Robert, served. My mother, Yvonne, also imbued in me a sense of duty and honour, so in 1995 after finishing school in Townsville I joined the Navy so that I, too, could serve my country. My naval career saw me serve as a boatswain’s mate on HMAS Swan, HMAS Canberra and HMAS Ipswich. I later had an educational posting at the gunnery range at HMAS Cerberus. In 2002 I transferred to RAAF Base Amberley to train as an aviation firefighter. I then served at RAAF Base Tindal. My time in the services taught me the importance of comradeship, teamwork, improvisation and a love of, and duty to, country. During this time my wife, Rachel, and I had a young family. I have three beautiful children: Brandt, Delaney and Jamison. All three were born thousands of kilometres apart in Cairns, Frankston and Katherine respectively. I also had the good fortune of adopting Ray and Sandra Hubbard and John and Julie Aldous as parents somewhere along the way.

  • The Ayes Have It: the History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    7. The Pizzey–Chalk interlude, 1968 With the retirement of Frank Nicklin as Premier in January 1968, the Queensland Parliament entered a period of turbulence and uncertainty. Nicklin had been the leader of the Country Party continuously since June 1941, accumulating a total of 26.5 years at the helm. He had been Premier for 10.5 years and had governed the state competently and conscientiously. He had stamped his own personal integrity and probity on the character of the government and had quietly maintained a guiding hand over the cabinet and party room. In the Parliament, he was uniformly held in high regard not only by his own Country Party colleagues but by his Coalition partners and members of the opposition. He had maintained a sense of decency in the Assembly that was recognised by friend and foe alike. At the time of his retirement, Nicklin had attained many parliamentary achievements, not the least of which was the general acceptance of the Coalition parties as the natural parties of government. He had also, perhaps more conscientiously, sustained the Country Party as the dominant party in the Coalition despite consistently polling fewer votes than the largely urban-based Liberal Party. Nicklin’s retirement at seventy-two years of age was not exactly a surprise; it had been expected for some time. His health and energy were waning and he had spent some weeks in hospital during the final months of his record- breaking premiership. It was widely believed that Nicklin had hung on to the job for so long simply to beat the previous record of Labor’s Forgan Smith as the longest-serving premier (Forgan Smith had served 10 years and three months).

  • Address-In-Reply 6 Sep 2018
    2380 Address-in-Reply 6 Sep 2018 this consultation draft now so that the parliament, the waste and recycling industry, councils and the community can consider the full package of proposed amendments to legislation to implement the waste levy. Information about consultation will be provided on the Department of Environment and Science’s website. Since March this year, when the government announced our intention to accept the recommendation of the Lyons report and introduce a waste levy to underpin our waste strategy, we have been undertaking comprehensive consultation with a range of stakeholders to ensure we hear everyone’s voices. I look forward to continuing consultation as the bill progresses through parliament, and as the regulations are discussed. Queenslanders are increasingly conscious of waste as an economic and environmental issue. This bill delivers a key enabler of change. The waste levy will provide an incentive for people to reduce the waste they create and find more productive and job-creating uses for their waste. Importantly, the bill also ensures that it will not cost Queenslanders any more to put out their wheelie bin. It is not hard to see the long-term economic and environmental benefits that this levy will bring to Queensland. Through the introduction of a waste levy and a new waste strategy, we can work towards a more sustainable future for generations of Queenslanders to come. I commend the bill to the House. First Reading Hon. LM ENOCH (Algester—ALP) (Minister for Environment and the Great Barrier Reef, Minister for Science and Minister for the Arts) (11.29 am): I move— That the bill be now read a first time.

  • How to Write a Good Letter to the Editor: QLD a Guide to Writing Awesome, Powerful Letters
    How to write a good letter to the editor: QLD A Guide to writing awesome, powerful letters Letters to the editor of local papers are an excellent way for politicians to gauge what the public is thinking. This is a how-to guide for writing powerful and useful letters that can inform the public debate around Adani’s coal project. What makes a good letter? Some tips: ● The best letters are short, snappy and succinct - never longer than 200 ​ ​ words. ● Try to limit your letter to one central idea so it is clear and easy to read. Don’t ​ ​ be afraid to use humour if it suits! ● Good letters are timely if they are in response to a big announcement or ​ ​ event. This means written and sent on the same day. ● Back-up your claims with facts where appropriate. There are many ​ resources on our website (see below for links). ● Try to weave in a personal story if you can and it is fitting. For example: ​ ​ ○ I’m a tourist operator on the Reef and Adani’s coal mine will put my business in jeopardy. ○ I am a teacher and see school students are very attuned to the impact of climate change on the Reef and Adani’s role in this. ○ I went to visit the Reef last year and am saddened by the fact the QLD Government is ignoring coral bleaching events in favour of more coal mining. ○ I’m a Townsville resident who has experienced the mining industry’s boom-bust cycles and I think the future of Townsville should be solar.
