A petition to the Honourable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives assembled in the Commonwealth Parliament of Australia.
This petition of certain residents in the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House our concerns that extra tertiary places, previously announced for Queensland universities, may now be revoked.
The previous Federal Government allocated an extra 7600 funded student places for Queensland universities over a three year period. In addition $43.8 million in capital funding was set aside for campuses and facilities in regional areas, including Ipswich, Logan, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast, Wide Bay, Gladstone, Rockhampton and Cairns. However these initiatives are now in doubt following recent comments and speculation by Federal Government Ministers. Any reversal of the above decisions will severely disadvantage potential Queensland tertiary students. Our State continues to experience rapid growth and education services remain a priority need.
We request the House to call on the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia to guarantee that the extra tertiary places and facilities, previously announced for Queensland universities, be delivered.
