D3SJ* meeting 15 October 2008:

Dialogue with Kate Jones, State MP for Ashgrove

Please note the next meeting will be on 15 October, not 8 October 2008. Talking among ourselves and making pious declarations at each session is of limited value. We have a golden opportunity this month to engage in dialogue with a mainstream politician.

Kate Jones was elected to the Queensland Parliament in September 2006 and is the youngest member of the Bligh Government. Kate currently serves on the Scrutiny of Legislation Parliamentary Committee and is a member of several Ministerial Policy Committees. She completed a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism and Politics at Queensland University of Technology. She is currently studying for a Masters in Environmental Law. Before running for State Parliament, Kate was a Senior Media Advisor to the Queensland Minister for Public Works, Housing and Racing, Robert Schwarten. She previously worked as a Media Advisor to the Queensland Treasurer, David Hamill. Kate is a member of several community groups and also has a strong interest in environmental and housing policy areas. Kate is also a member of Amnesty International and The Fred Hollows Foundation.

A few of our group will offer 10 minute presentations relevant to their field of expertise, specifically with regard to sustainable living in SE Queensland (see the "Gaia Village Project" in the downloads section of www.d3sj.org). This will be followed by general discussion and Q&A.

Date & time: Wednesday 15 October 2008
