The Honourable MsFiona Simpson
Member for Maroochydore and Speaker of the Legislative Assembly
Queensland Government
Dear Madam Speaker,
Congratulations on your re-election to serve the electorate of Maroochydore.
Congratulations also on your appointment to serve the people of Queensland as Speaker of the Legislative Assembly.
The behaviour of the Queensland Premier this week in Parliament does not demonstrate the "humility, grace and dignity" that he promised in his Victory speech on winning the election in March 2012.
I find it a little hypocritical for the Premier to refer to cleaning up "Anna Bligh's mess" and "Anna Bligh's legacy" with a "pooper scooper" when he left Cr Graham Quirk and the people of the city of Brisbane with a legacy of debt as well.
I wonder what the visiting United Kingdom delegation thought of the Premier's decorum in the Parliament.
The question remains un-answered. Will the Queensland Government provide funding for counselling services for those 20,000 public sector workers facing the unemployment and an uncertain future? I would appreciate your thoughts on this matter and how you (as Speaker) might hold the Premier to his promise to conduct himself and the Queensland Government with humility, grace and dignity.
your's sincerely,
Rowan Barber
