MICHAEL BERKMAN MP Queensland Greens Member for Maiwar
MICHAEL BERKMAN MP Queensland Greens Member for Maiwar 31 October 2018 Hon Mark Bailey MP Minister for Transport and Main Roads GPO Box 2644 BRISBANE QLD 4001 Via email: [email protected] Dear Minister Bailey, I am writing to convey concerns expressed by one of my constituents in relation to the roundabout that connects Boundary Road, Rouen Road and Rainworth Road. I understand that, given this is a State controlled road forming part of the regional road network, some issues such as crossings and signage may overlap State and local government jurisdiction. Accordingly, I am contacting both you and Paddington Ward Councillor Peter Matic to request assistance addressing the concerns outlined below, in the hope that this matter may be resolved quickly. I understand from my constituent, James, that cars frequently speed through the roundabout, either ignoring or unaware of the pedestrian crossing. James tells me he recently had a near-miss incident at the roundabout while pushing his 8 week old daughter in her pram; two cars rapidly passed through the roundabout, apparently unaware of him standing and waiting at the edge of the crossing. He believes that if he had exercised the right of way afforded by the pedestrian crossing, he and his daughter could have been seriously injured. Locals also tell me there are other issues with traffic along Boundary and Rouen Roads in that residential area, and in particular trucks frequently using their engine brake systems. Are you able to advise whether there are any existing plans to upgrade roads or improve signage in this area, or to undertake other traffic management strategies to accommodate this growing residential community? I would also request that your department: 1. -
Maiden Speech
Speech By Michael Berkman MEMBER FOR MAIWAR Record of Proceedings, 22 March 2018 MAIDEN SPEECH Mr BERKMAN (Maiwar—Grn) (4.52 pm): I begin, as so many have done before me, by acknowledging the traditional owners of the land on which we meet—the Jagera and Turrbal people— and their ancient culture, traditions and lore. I stand here on their land and acknowledge that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander sovereignty has never been ceded—that this parliament sits on stolen land. If we are to make amends for the colonisation and the dispossession and genocide of the last 230 years—and we should—clear recognition of first nations’ sovereignty and the negotiation of treaties with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples must be a priority for our state, country and community. I pay my respects to elders past and present and I thank them for their ongoing custodianship of this vast and unique continent. I lament that since invasion we have not only disrupted your connection to country but fallen far short of following your example and fulfilling our duty to care for this land and preserve it for future generations. It was a great honour to have local elder Uncle Des Sandy attend as my guest for the opening of this parliament. We discussed that I was not only the first member of the Queensland Greens to be elected to this chamber but also the inaugural member for the newly created seat of Maiwar. He asked me a question that surprised me: ‘What does Maiwar mean?’ As I understood it, Maiwar was the local Indigenous people’s name for what we now call the Brisbane River, but Uncle Des’s response spoke volumes to me about the depth of his understanding of and connection to his country and just how much we have to learn from our first nations people. -
