Other Guaranteed Debt and Contingent Liabilities
Under the provisions of the Act and the Statutory Bodies Financial Arrangements Act 1982 (as amended by the Statutory Bodies Financial Arrangements Amendment Act 1996), financial arrangements entered into by a statutory body may be guaranteed by the Treasurer on behalf of the Government of Queensland. That legislation also preserves similar guarantees given under legislation that it replaced. In addition, the Industrial Development Act 1963 preserves guarantees of borrowings of other bodies made under the Industrial Development Act 1963-1981. Guarantees are also given in respect of borrowings made by Co-operative Housing Societies which on-lend funds for home purchase.
The Queensland Government also guarantees all insurance policies issued prior to 1 December 1996 by the Suncorp Insurance and Finance Corporation (“Suncorp”). Suncorp, together with Suncorp Building Society and Queensland Industry Development Corporation merged with Metway Bank Limited with effect from 1 December 1996. Pursuant to the provisions of the State Government Institution and Metway Merger Facilitation Act 1996, all insurance policies (principally concerning life insurance, general insurance and superannuation) issued by Suncorp prior to 1 December 1996 will continue to be guaranteed by the Queensland Government.
The State’s contingent liabilities on account of guaranteed debt (other than the debt detailed under Queensland Treasury Corporation) equates to approximately $3 billion as at 30 June 2008.
