Mr LAWLOR (Southport-ALP) (6.10 p.m.): Once again the member for Burnett has confirmed the suspicion of everyone in the House that he got into the gene pool when the lifeguard was not looking. I support the amendment. At the outset I say that the original motion is further evidence, if it was needed, that the National Party is on the slide.

Other Speeches - 2004Health Services; Gold CoastOctober 5, 2004 – 12:00 am
Mr LAWLOR (Southport-ALP) (12.25 p.m.): Health services have recently been in the spotlight nationally as a result of the federal election campaign and also locally on the Gold Coast as a result of a series of articles in the Gold Coast Bulletin. The Liberal Party has jumped on the bandwagon, because it is always struggling for relevance. It criticises us for not speaking on motions moved in this place.

Mr LAWLOR (Southport-ALP) (8.08 p.m.): I rise to oppose the two bills in this cognate debate. I support the comments made by various speakers on this side of House. Jetstar, Gold CoastAugust 18, 2004 – 12:00 am

Mr LAWLOR (Southport-ALP) (8.39 p.m.): The seventh budget of the Beattie government is a great one for Queensland. I am proud that the electorate of Southport will share in its benefits not only in terms of major programs but also in regard to specific initiatives that I have been seeking since my election three years ago. Transport and other Legislation Amendment BillMay 20, 2004 – 12:00 am
Can I say how amused I was when listening to the new member for Moggill last Thursday when he was speaking on the Transport and Other Legislation Amendment Bill. Liberal Party Ethics CommitteeMay 13, 2004 – 12:00 am
I have got some great news for the parliament: the Liberal Party of Queensland is establishing an ethics committee. I know that is an oxymoron. Election 2004May 12, 2004 – 12:00 am
It has been a privilege to represent the people of Southport for the past three years-workers, unemployed, sick, disabled, senior citizens, struggling small business people and many others. I consider the past three years was my apprenticeship, and I am now better qualified to represent the people of Southport and I thank them for again putting their faith in me. Vegetation Management and Other Legislation Amendment BillApril 20, 2004 – 12:00 am
Mr LAWLOR (Southport-ALP) (8.21 p.m.): It gives me great pleasure to support the Vegetation Management and Other Legislation Amendment Bill. This bill is the result of a commitment by the Premier in the last election campaign, announcing the end to broadscale tree clearing in Queensland. |
