Mr WETTENHALL (Wednesday 14 April 2010) (3.14 pm): It is good to hear the member for Mermaid Beach acknowledging the brilliant legal mind of the minister-and of course there are plenty of brilliant legal minds on this side of the House. I rise to speak in support of the Credit (Commonwealth Powers) Bill 2009 and the amendments that are to be considered in detail.

Mr WETTENHALL (Wednesday 14 April 2010) (6.11 pm): I am sure the MUA will be interested to read a copy of the member for Noosa's speech.

Mr WETTENHALL (Wednesday 14 April 2010) (9.55 pm): On Friday, 26 March 2010, a landslide on the Kuranda Range caused the Kuranda Scenic Railway service to derail at a location about 16 kilometres from Cairns which was thought to have experienced particularly heavy localised rainfall at that time.

Mr WETTENHALL (Tuesday 13 April 2010) (12.27 pm): The decision to locate social housing at Palm Cove and Trinity Park, both suburbs of Cairns in the electorate of Barron River, has generated a bitter debate in the community between supporters and opponents of social housing.

Mr WETTENHALL (Thursday 25 March 2010) (12.30 pm): Most members in contributing to this debate have demonstrated that they have little sympathy for people who drive under the influence of liquor and who put other people's lives at risk, and I share those views.
