It concludes with an assessment of the impact of his multi- faceted life. Sir Walter Campbell is well remembered for his term as the Governor of Queensland, particularly for his deft and effective handling of the state’s 1987 constitutional crisis, when Premier Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen refused to resign after losing the support of his party. Campbell’s career, however, intersected with a range of historical events, including political, legal, constitutional, diplomatic and even military incidents of significance to the nation.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    1. Inside the Queensland Parliament Before Queensland was established as a separate colony in 1859 ‘separationist settlers’ in the Moreton Bay region had pushed for independence and self-rule. Ideas about self-government and the establishment of a local parliamentary democracy were important inspirations in the formation of colonial Queensland. Early settlers in the territory then known as ‘Northern Australia’, the ‘Northern Districts’ or ‘Cooksland’ showed a strong preference for separation from Sydney and New South Wales and campaigned vigorously for recognition as a new colony. Although nine representatives from the Moreton region sat in the NSW Assembly, separation from the ‘tightly-drawn’ strings of New South Wales became the subject of much local political activity and petitioning to the monarch after 1856 (Pugh 1859). The desire to create a local parliament was not, however, just a philosophical commitment to regional democracy and self-rule. Rather, it reflected an economic desire to manage their own interests, attract additional settlers and develop the northern lands themselves without waiting for the NSW governors to determine their fate. And, the emerging colonial political leaders were prepared to take on the risk of forming a new colony. They knew they would have to make a substantial material commitment over time and impose a major financial burden on the new colony to establish its embryonic political institutions. They also had to inherit a large public debt of some £20 000 as part of separation—the so-called ‘Moreton Bay Debt’, which was transferred from New South Wales to Queensland. Although the issue of forming a further colony in northern Australia had been as contentious in London as it was in New South Wales, Queen Victoria signed the Letters Patent establishing ‘Queensland’ as a new colony in June 1859.

Those women are Leneen Forde, Chancellor of Griffith University and former Governor of Queensland; Kate Holmes, Justice of the Supreme Court and now of the Court of Appeal; Leanne Clare, the first female Director of Public Prosecutions; Barbara Newton, the first female Public Defender; Carmel MacDonald, President of the Aboriginal Land Tribunals and the first female law lecturer in Queensland; Fleur Kingham, formerly Deputy President of the land and Resources Tribunal and now Judge of the District Court and Catherine Pirie, the first Magistrate of Torres Strait descent. The accompanying exegesis investigates the development of the creative work out of the tensions between the aims of the work, its political context, the multiple positions of the biographer, and the collaborative and collective nature of the enterprise. iii Table of Contents Keywords ii Abstract iii Statement of Original Authorship v Acknowledgements vi Profiles of seven significant women in the law in Queensland 1 Leneen Forde 2 Kate Holmes 11 Leanne Clare 19 Barbara Newton 26 Carmel MacDonald 36 Fleur Kingham 45 Catherine Pirie 53 Exegesis: Writing women into the law in Queensland 61 Bibliography 82 iv Statement of Original Authorship The work contained in this thesis has not been previously submitted for a degree or diploma at any other higher education institution.
