Legislative Assembly Hansard 1985 Queensland Parliamentary Debates [Hansard] Legislative Assembly TUESDAY, 19 MARCH 1985 Electronic reproduction of original hardcopy 3972 19 March 1985 Ministerial Statements TUESDAY, 19 MARCH 1985 Mr SPEAKER (Hon. J. H. Warner, Toowoomba South) read prayers and took the chair at 11 a.m. ASSENT TO BILLS Assent to the following Bills reported by Mr Speaker— Electricity (Continuity of Supply) BUI; Property Law Act Amendment Bill; Hen Quotas Act Amendment BUI.

Regulations under— Public Service Act 1922-1978 Canals Act 1958-1984 Fire Brigades Act 1964-1984. MINISTERIAL STATEMENTS Derailments on Goonyella Railway Line Hon. D. F. LANE (Merthyr—Minister for Transport) (11.6 a.m.), by leave: I have to report to Pariiament that during the month of March 1985, three deraUments occurred on the Goonyella railway line as a result of wheel fracture. These were— Mindi-Coppabella section—3 March 1985, 1 wagon derailed; Black Mountain—5 March 1985, 15 wagons derailed; and Mindi-Waitara section—7 March 1985, 2 wagons derailed. As a result of these unprecedented derailments caused by defective wheels, arrangements were made to send specialists from Brisbane with ultrasonic equipment to Ministerial Statements 19 March 1985 3973 undertake a crash program of testing all coal wagon wheels in operation over the Goonyella railway line. As at 8 a.m. today, a total of 2 347 wagons had been examined. Resulting from this, 146 wagons were marked off for attention. A summary of the defects detected is as follows— Confirmed cracked wheels .. 5 Suspected cracked wheels . 9 Rolled edges 78 Thermal or surface cracks . 46 , Tread damage 5 Flange damage 2 Shelled tread 1. Only 74 wagons remain to be inspected, and that work will be completed this morning. Some years ago, a system of visual inspection of wagons had been implemented in the Jilalan depot as a routine procedure. Those inspections did not achieve the desired result of detecting cracked wheels, and during the years of the implementation of that procedure, although instances of cracked wheels continued, not one cracked wheel was detected by visual means. The ultrasonic testing of Jilalan wheels is now carried out in Rockhampton, where all wheels are tested prior to being forwarded to Jilalan. All coal wagons sent to Rockhampton for repairs and lifting have their wheels ultrasonically tested at that time. This ultrasonic testing at Rockhampton provides a better system than is capable of being provided at Jilalan. In addition, routine examinations in the wagon repair section at Jilalan are conducted as wagons pass through for normal routine maintenance. There has been no reduction in maintenance of locomotives or wagons in Jilalan. Indeed, staff numbers have been increased from 90 to 120. The problem appears to result from the age of the wheel, excessive heating and perhaps inherent defects in the wheel itself In an endeavour to overcome the heating problem, wheels are painted with a special paint which blisters off if excessive heating occurs. This enables the wagons with the blistered paint to be marked off for attention. I assure Parliament that all efforts are being directed at pin-pointing the exact cause of the cracking and, in the meantime, a systematic and more sophisticated method of surveillance of wheels is being implemented. Alleged Coercion of Teachers by Queensland Teachers Union Hon. L. W. POWELL (Isis—Minister for Education) (11.9 a.m.), by leave: The honourable member for Fassifern (Mr Lingard), on 27 Febmary 1985, raised in this House recent attempts by the Queensland Teachers Union to coerce teachers to join the union against their will. I would Uke to clarify and expand on a number of points raised by my colleague in regard to this serious matter. The Queensland Teachers Union is indeed pressuring teachers to join the union, and the letter referred to by my colleague is one example of that pressure. Honourable members will recall that the letter sent to non-members of the QTU by an industrial officer of that union contained the threat that the QTU could arrange for the transfer of non-union members. I find these bully-boy tactics utterly repugnant. I can assure Queensland teachers that Queensland Teachers Union representatives do not influence, nor are they involved in, the transfer of ordinary teachers. This function is rightly and properly the responsibility of regional staffing inspectors in the region. In this process, the needs of children in schools are the primary concem and all efforts are made to achieve the best fit between those needs and the teachers' preferences. In no case is any transfer arranged because a person does or does not belong to the Queensland Teachers Union, although the union would like this to be the case and has, in fact, suggested it to at least one regional director. 3974 19 March 1985 Personal Explanation I assure the House that the management of my department rests firmly in the hands of the Director-General of Education and his senior officers. Under no circumstances will I allow the good management of my department and the interests of Queensland children to be endangered by the irresponsible threats of the QTU. I also take this opportunity to draw the attention of honourable members to a form circulated recently by the QTU in its role as the State branch of an organisation that is currently seeking federal registration as the Australian Teachers Union. This form asks teachers to seek membership of the ATU in addition to their present membership of the QTU, and to authorise the payment on their behalf from their QTU dues of membership fees of the ATU. Queensland teachers should realise that they are under no compulsion to join the ATU or to allow a proportion of their union fees to be redirected for that purpose. Queensland teachers are already adequately covered by the provisions of their State- registered award and have no need of Federal involvement. LEAVE TO MOVE MOTION WITHOUT NOTICE Mr MACKENROTH (Chatsworth): I seek leave to move that the Minister for Health table the Price Waterhouse report into the efficiency of Queensland hospitals. Question—That leave be granted—put; and the House divided— AYES, 36 NOES, 44 Braddy Price Ahem Une Bums Scott Alison Lester Campbell Shaw Austin Lingard Casey Smith Bailey Littleproud Comben Underwood Bjelke-Petersen McKechnie D'Arcy Vaughan Booth McPhie De Ucy Veivers Borbidge Menzel Eaton Warburton Cahill Miller Fouras Wamer, A.

Row Knox Glasson Simpson Kruger Goleby Stephan Lee Gunn Stoneman Lickiss Harper Tenni Mackenroth Hartwig Tumer McElligott Harvey Wharton McUan Henderson Milliner Tellers: . Hinze Tellers: Palaszczuk Davis Jennings Kaus Prest Goss Katter Neal Resolved in the negative. PERSONAL EXPLANATION Mr CASEY (Mackay) (11.20 a.m.), by leave: Eariier, in this Chamber, in answer to my criticism publicly and in this House, the Minister for Transport (Mr Lane) made a ministerial statement about the reason for the derailment of coal trains in central Queensland and about maintenance problems. I draw to the attention of honourable members that the information given to the House this moming by the Minister was deliberately misleading. Mr LANE: I rise to a point of order. Would the honourable member indicate the personal nature of his explanation? Questions Upon Notice 19 March 1985 3975 Mr CASEY: The personal point I indicated initially Mr SPEAKER: Order! I remind the honourable member that he should rise to make a personal explanation only if he feels that he has been misrepresented. I ask him to point out how he has been misrepresented. Mr CASEY: I indicated that the Minister deliberately deceived the House in the information that he gave this moming. In Mackay I have personally inspected more than 146 railway wagons that he indicated were all that had to be repaired. Mr SPEAKER: Order! I do not consider that to be a personal explanation. QUESTIONS UPON NOTICE Questions submitted on notice were answered as follows— 1. Burdekin Falls Dam Mr STONEMAN asked the Minister for Water Resources and Maritime Services— With reference to constmction of the Burdekin Falls Dam— (1) Are the contractors on schedule? (2) Has time been lost because of the electricity strike? (3) Are sufficient funds available to guarantee continuation of work? (4) When will the access road to the dam be completed? Answer— (1) Placing of concrete by the major contractors, Leighton Contractors, is ahead of schedule for completion in 1988. (2) Although rock haulage to the saddle dam was not affected by the power restrictions, no concrete could be batched and placed in the main waU for the duration of the period of power restrictions. Such delays can be absorbed in the program without delays in the planned completion date.

  • Desired Environmental Outcomes
    CairnsPlan – March 2009 Chapter 2 Desired Environmental Outcomes 2.1 Overview The Desired Environmental Outcomes (DEOs) are the foundation of the CairnsPlan. The DEOs are the link between the purpose of the Integrated Planning Act of seeking to achieve ecological sustainability and the measures of the CairnsPlan. The DEOs: • Represent what is sought to be achieved through the CairnsPlan; • Relate to the environment that is defined broadly in the Integrated Planning Act to cover matters and conditions relating to the natural, built and human environments; and • Are expressions of the end states rather than means to ends. The DEOs relate to the whole of the City. Each DEO is sought to be achieved to the extent practicable having regard to each of the other DEOs. The DEOs are grouped under the topics reflecting the three strands of ecological sustainability identified by the Integrated Planning Act: • Ecological processes and natural systems; • Economic development; and • Cultural, economic, physical and social wellbeing of people and communities. However, there are close interrelationships between the DEOs. In a number of cases, elements of the subject of a DEO are mapped to illustrate the overarching planning strategies associated with the DEO. In these cases, the identified elements of the mapping are part of the DEO. Important issues associated with the DEOs are identified in the short discussion which follows each DEO. 2-1 CairnsPlan – March 2009 2-2 CairnsPlan – March 2009 2.2. Ecological Processes and Natural Systems 2.2.1 Ecological Processes and Biodiversity The biodiversity and nature conservation values of the marine, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems within the City are conserved and enhanced.

D. E. Nicholson, Murrumba) took the chair at 11 a.m. QUESTIONS INCREASES IN BRISBANE MEAT PRICES Mr. LLOYD (Kedron) asked the Minister for Agriculture and Forestry- "(!) Has his attention been drawn to what is apparently a deliberately misleading opinion in the 'Telegraph' of Tuesday, November 8, which attempts to place the responsibility for the seven pence increase in meat prices in Brisbane on the control over the supply of meat in the metropolitan area by the Brisbane Abattoir?" "(2) Is it not a fact that the Cannon Hill Saleyards are merely a facility placed at the disposal of the buyers and sellers of cattle and the Queensland Meat Industry Board has nothing to do with the prices paid for the cattle sold at the Saleyards?" "(3) Would it not be true to state that the only affect that the operations of the Brisbane Abattoir have on the price of meat to the Brisbane housewife is the charge per head imposed on the slaugh­ tering of cattle owned by meat companies and individual buyers?" "(4) For the correct information of the Brisbane public, will he outline the charges made for the slaughtering of cattle at the Brisbane Abattoir?" "(5) How do these charges compare with those imposed by other abattoirs?" Questions [10 NOVEMBER] Questions 1345 "(6) Has there been any recent increase Cannon Hill have had no influence on in the slaughtering charges levied at the recent rises in meat prices.

  • Heavy Vehicle Management Strategy for the Atherton Tablelands Area in Far North Queensland
    MEDIA STATEMENT 12 March 2019 Study to support Far North heavy vehicle management The Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR) is conducting a $480,000 study to develop a Heavy Vehicle Management Strategy for the Atherton Tablelands area in Far North Queensland. TMR District Director (Far North Queensland) Ross Hodgman said TMR were aware of the importance of the transport industry and the growing demand on the road network for transporting mining, agricultural and horticultural products. “With a focus on investment in northern Australia and strong population growth in Far North Queensland, we want to improve the current heavy vehicle management for the Tablelands to meet the growing demands of the transport industry,” Mr Hodgman said. “Extensive community consultation was carried out during the options analysis phase and several potential preferred upgrades and new facilities were identified. “Road is the only viable mode for transportation of freight in the study area and critical to the viability of industry and population centres. “Ensuring efficiency, safety and security of road-based freight supply chains is the backbone of the region.” Further consultation will be undertaken focusing on the following preferred upgrades: • a proposed Heavy Vehicle Rest Area (HVRA) on the Mulligan Highway, north of Mareeba • a proposed HRVA on the Kennedy Highway, west of Speewah • a proposed Heavy Vehicle Stopping Place at the top of the Rex Range (Mossman – Mt Molloy Road). For the study, the Tablelands freight network mainly encompasses the Tablelands Regional Council and the eastern most part of the Shire of Mareeba areas. The study is expected to be completed by late 2019.
