MINISTERIAL STATEMENT Science in Parliament Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.36 a.m.): It was my pleasure this morning to welcome more than 210 scientists to the House for Science in Parliament 2003. Last year's inaugural event was such a success that we decided to hold it again. In fact, we had to turn people away. I table a copy of the program for Science in Parliament 2003 for the information of honourable members. Science in Parliament is an important part of my Smart State strategy for Queensland. It is a meeting of the minds—political minds and scientific minds. This morning we had the privilege of hearing an address from Queensland's own Nobel Laureate, Professor Peter Doherty. I thank Professor Doherty for being here today and adding his eminence to the occasion. I am delighted that he is lending his name to a science education awards scheme that the Education Minister, Anna Bligh, will detail shortly. Today I am releasing our prospectus for the Smart State. I table the prospectus for the information of Queenslanders. It is called Queensland the Smart State—investing in science: Research, education and innovation. All members will shortly receive a copy. I would hope we can get bipartisan support for this strategy. It is a $2 billion strategy for investment in science, research and innovation in the Smart State, making it one of the biggest programs of its kind in Australia. It details the $1.5 billion we have already spent and projects in the pipeline. It will attract more private investment in the exciting research and development which is taking place in Queensland. It is about attracting human capital as well as financial investment. We want a brain gain as well as a dollar gain. 20 Aug 2003 Ministerial Statement 3005 During the estimates hearings the opposition's innovation and information economy spokesman, David Watson, asked the minister, Paul Lucas— Can you provide a straightforward document or explanation as to which programs are included as part of the Smart State strategy— Here it is. We have delivered. Mr Lucas: What a listening government we are! Mr BEATTIE: I take the interjection from the Minister for Innovation and Information Economy. Dr Watson interjected. Mr BEATTIE: There he is! I wondered what happened to him. He has been moved around. It was a perceptive question. He has just got an equally perceptive answer. In fact, he has a more than perceptive answer; he has a detailed answer. The initiatives it details include our plan to appoint a Queensland chief scientist who will provide government-wide advice of the high quality we are coming to expect from the Department of Primary Industries' chief scientist, Dr Joe Baker, whose position will continue. I thank Dr Joe Baker for his significant contribution in this area of science and I thank his organisation for today's Science in Parliament. We are spending $14 million over three years on reforms to encourage more students to study science, enhance the skills of science teachers and raise the wider community's interest in science. Very shortly the Minister for Education and the Minister for Innovation will spell out further details. One of the things the Minister for Education will talk about is that from 2005 all students in state schools will be required to study science to the end of year 10. A new year 11 and year 12 elective subject relating to science in society will be developed. There is $2.2 million for teacher professional development in science. And the list goes on. The prospectus which I have tabled will be sent to universities, conservation groups, farming and business groups, major research and development organisations, scientific companies and organisations referred to in the document.

  • Prospects for Aquaculture and Amendments to the Fisheries Act Under the Primary Industries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 (Qld)
    Queensland Parliamentary Library Prospects for Aquaculture and amendments to the Fisheries Act under the Primary Industries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 (Qld) At least two recent developments have put the spotlight on aquaculture in Queensland. The first is the proposal for the development of a fish farm in Moreton Bay. Secondly, there has been an escalation in regulatory controls on recreational and commercial wild fish catches to guard against overexploitation. Aquaculture is a developing and promising Queensland industry that may have the potential to fill the gap between the public’s demand for fish and shellfish and the emerging shortage in wild fish supplies. However, there are a number of factors that impact upon the development of the aquaculture industry with environmental impacts of projects being a primary issue for producers. A number of regulatory controls on aquaculture developments are aimed at minimising environmental harm, including a development assessment process under the Integrated Planning Act 1997 (Qld). In recognition of the problems created for producers by duplication of planning and assessment processes, the Primary Industries and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2003 (Qld) has been introduced to amend the Fisheries Act 1994 (Qld) to require that certain fisheries development proposals are assessed under the Integrated Planning Act 1997.

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.
