As of grand final glory provided an opportunity for communities to a 12-year-old, the transformation of Parramatta from perennial take pride in the achievements of the local warriors who went cellar-dwellers was a formative event.

    19 May 2004 Legislative Assembly 1175 WEDNESDAY, 19 MAY 2004 Legislative Assembly Mr SPEAKER (Hon. R.K. Hollis, Redcliffe) read prayers and took the chair at 9.30 a.m. PRIVILEGE District Health Councils; Comments by Member for Burnett Hon. G.R. NUTTALL (Sandgate—ALP) (Minister for Health) (9.31 a.m.): I rise on a matter of privilege. I have disturbing information this morning about the conduct of a member of this House who has threatened a community volunteer who helps to run one of Queensland's independent district health councils. As most members would be aware, I have asked district health councils to take on a broader role this term in encouraging more Queenslanders to take an active role in the hospitals and health centres in their communities. This is about encouraging communities to have more ownership of their local health care services. Of their own accord, the chair of the Bundaberg District Health Council wrote to the editor of the Bundaberg News Mail last week on behalf of all district council members to refute constant and unsubstantiated claims by the member for Burnett, Mr Rob Messenger, that the Bundaberg Hospital was in crisis. The chairman, Mr Viv Chase, with the permission of members made public the phone numbers of every member of the council stating the council wished to take a proactive role in health care and would be happy to assist patients and local residents with any issue they maybe experiencing. On the same day, last Thursday, the member for Burnett, in what I can only describe as a cowardly and despicable act, phoned the council chairman and in a veiled threat against Mr Chase and his family called him an apologist for Queensland Health.The member for Burnett then went on to tell Mr Chase, and I quote from a letter from Mr Chase— I will now turn up the blowtorch and you will be included and I will contact all your members of Council to tell them the same.

'There is a history in all men's lives' William Shakespeare Although a generation apart, two men who were to make a major contribution to Victorian Rugby shared much in common, not least that both came anointed with the mystical oil of Welsh Rugby, specifically of the Newport variety, though not of a 1st XV vintage. Nevertheless, both made their mark early in the city of that name, not only in rugby but in other sports, notably aquatic. Both were born in England, but were living in Newport by the age of ten, both commenced employment before joining the Territorials and then seeing active service in the British Army before coming to Australia where they later became deeply involved in the organisation and management of Rugby Union in Victoria. The big difference between them lay in their ages, Griffyth George (Griff) Hunt being born in 1911, the same year in which Herbert Garfield (Bert) Penwill, then aged thirty-one, left England for Australia. But as a closer look soon reveals, there were other differences, not least those associated with the social, economic and technological developments of the times. Their service to the State Union covered the beginning and end of its first fifty years and the following accounts inevitably include comment on those times and on the development of the Victorian Rugby Union (VRU) over that period.
