Richard Shannon From: Richard Shannon Sent: Wednesday, 12 June 2013 3:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: FW: Proposed Gordonvale Kindergarten Importance: High Dear Andrew, Please find the below response from the Department to your earlier queries originally registered with Clive Dixon, Regional Director, Far North Queensland. • The Department of Education, Training and Employment's kindergarten planning methodology involves an assessment of supply and demand for kindergarten places in a local planning area. • The supply of kindergarten places is estimated from the licensed capacity of existing early childhood education and care services, using a formula agreed with Childcare Queensland. This takes into account total potential places available in early childhood education and care services, regardless of actual utilisation. Population data is derived from the 2011 census. • The kindergarten planning data for the Gordonvale local planning area identified a deficiency of kindergarten places. The local planning area comprised Gordonvale, East Trinity, Goldsborough, Green Hill, Little Mulgrave and Wrights Creek. • The new kindergarten service will provide up to 44 places for kindy-age children in the year before full time school (i.e. turn four years by 30 June in the year of enrolment). • The service will provide a kindergarten program for 15 hours per week, 40 weeks per year (school hours and during school terms) and charge fees for children that enrol. • The service will not be eligible for the Australian Government's child care benefit (CCB) subsidies. • The service will be eligible for subsidies under the Queensland Kindergarten Funding Scheme (QKFS). Families with an Australian Government Health Care Card or equivalent may be eligible for additional subsidies which can make access to a kindergarten program low or no cost. -

Queensland Election 2006
Parliament of Australia Department of Parliamentary Services Parliamentary Library RESEARCH BRIEF Information analysis and advice for the Parliament 16 November 2006, no. 3, 2006–07, ISSN 1832-2883 Queensland Election 2006 The Queensland election of September 2006 saw the Beattie Labor Government win a fourth term of office, continuing the longest period of ALP government in the state since 1957. The Coalition parties’ share of the vote puts them within reach of victory, but the way in which they work towards the next election—particularly in the area of policy development—will be crucial to them if they are to succeed.

Thursday, 20 May 2004
20 May 2004 Legislative Assembly 1291 THURSDAY, 20 MAY 2004 Legislative Assembly Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R.K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE Member for Darling Downs Hon. R.E. SCHWARTEN (Rockhampton—ALP) (Minister for Public Works, Housing and Racing) (9.31 a.m.): I rise on a matter of privilege. The shadow spokesperson for public works, housing and racing, Mr Hopper, has recently penned letters to a variety of regional newspapers. I table a copy of one of these from the Sunshine Coast Daily on Monday, 17 May. The honourable member states that I have decided that 'we cannot afford to keep the Beattie Labor government's election promises despite them having been made just a few months ago'. This is a deliberate falsehood. It has no semblance of truth whatsoever and represents an attempt by the inadequate shadow minister to make himself relevant. I have already indicated in this House and outside that all building promises made at the last election have been costed and will be delivered. That was the case at the election and it is the case now. Queenslanders deserve proper policy debate from the opposition, not this sort of puerile and grubby performance. PRIVILEGE Attorney-General Mr SPRINGBORG (Southern Downs—NPA) (Leader of the Opposition) (9.32 a.m.): Mr Speaker— Mr Hopper interjected. Mr SPEAKER: Order! I point out to the member for Darling Downs that his leader is on his feet. Mr SPRINGBORG: I rise on a matter of privilege. We are not prepared to sit back and let the Premier mislead the people of Queensland. -
