Questions Without Notice - 2010

Harness Racing

Mr STEVENS: My question is to the Minister for Tourism and Fair Trading. On 8 January 2010 the minister wrote to stakeholders in the harness racing industry committing part of $80 million to redevelop key facilities such as those at Bundall, Albion Park and Logan. I table that letter.  Tabled paper: Copy of form letter, [...]

Tourism Industry

My question is to the Minister for Tourism and Fair Trading. I refer the minister to the latest alarm bells about Queensland’s failing tourism campaigns, this time from tourism legend Jim Kennedy.

Sale of Public Assets; Racing Queensland

My question is to the Minister for Tourism and Fair Trading. I refer to secret Labor government plans to dispose of the famed Albion Park racecourse by this cash-strapped, long-term Labor government.

Tourism Queensland, Website

My question is to the Minister for Tourism and Fair Trading. Last week the minister helped launch the Queensland government’s ‘Queensland, Where Australia Shines’ campaign. The minister is aware an effective Tourism Queensland campaign requires an effective Tourism Queensland website. Will the minister explain why a person cannot book a Queensland holiday on the Tourism Queensland website because the ‘select a location’ and ‘select a destination’ options simply do not work?

Buy Smart

My question is to the honourable the Minister for Fair Trading. I ask: in reference to the need to teach school students to be more consumer wise, will he advise the House with regard to the annual Buy Smart competition?

Tourism Industry

My question is to the Minister for Tourism. I note the minister spoke about international tourism numbers recently. But are there any developments with domestic visitor numbers the minister can inform the House about?

Ekka

It is an ideal time to remind parents and traders about the important of product safety. Product safety is shared responsibility between Government traders and consumers.

Alcohol fuelled violence

This is an initiative of the Bligh Government. It is part of the attack on alcohol fuelled violence. It is something that the Government cannot stand by and put up with.

Consumer Protection

Will the minister update the House on how important it is for consumers to protect themselves against fraud?

Home Insulation Program

I refer the minister to his answer in the House yesterday relating to the house fires this week and to speculation of a casual link to the Labor Party’s discredited home insulation scheme.
