    AN EXAMINATION OF HOW THE MILITARY, THE CONSERVATIVE PRESS AND MINISTERIALIST POLITICIANS GENERATED SUPPORT WITHIN QUEENSLAND FOR THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA IN 1899 AND 1900 Margaret Jean Klaassen ASDA, ATCL, LTCL, FTCL, BA 1988 Triple Majors: Education, English & History, University of Auckland. The University Prize in Education of Adults awarded by the Council of the University of Auckland, 1985. Submitted in full requirement for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Division of Research & Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology 2014 Keywords Anglo-Boer War, Boer, Brisbane Courier, Dawson, Dickson, Kitchener, Kruger, Orange Free State, Philp, Queensland, Queenslander, Transvaal, War. ii Abstract This thesis examines the myth that Queensland was the first colonial government to offer troops to support England in the fight against the Boers in the Transvaal and Orange Free State in 1899. The offer was unconstitutional because on 10 July 1899, the Premier made it in response to a request from the Commandant and senior officers of the Queensland Defence Force that ‘in the event of war breaking out in South Africa the Colony of Queensland could send a contingent of troops and a machine gun’. War was not declared until 10 October 1899. Under Westminster government conventions, the Commandant’s request for military intervention in an overseas war should have been discussed by the elected legislators in the House. However, Parliament had gone into recess on 24 June following the Federation debate. During the critical 10-week period, the politicians were in their electorates preparing for the Federation Referendum on 2 September 1899, after which Parliament would resume.

  • Arrival of South Sea Islanders in Queensland
    ARRIVAL OF SOUTH SEA ISLANDERS IN QUEENSLAND The Courier, Tuesday 18 August 1863, page 5 The schooner Don Juan, the arrival of which was noted in our issue of yesterday, is from the group of islands in the Pacific named the New Hebrides. She brings a number of the natives of those islands to be employed as laborers by Captain Towns on his cotton plantation, on the Logan River, at the remuneration of 10s. per month, with rations, as is currently reported. We understand that there are sixty‐seven natives on board, and that one man died on the passage. The Sydney Morning Herald, Saturday 22 August 1863, page 6 Brisbane, Arrival. August 15. – Don Juan, from South Sea Islands. The schooner Don Juan, Captain Grueber, left Erromanga on the 4th instant, sighted Moreton light at 3 o’clock on Friday morning, rounded Moreton Island at 8 a.m., and anchored off the lightship at 9 p.m. During the passage she experienced a fine S.E. breeze and fine weather until the 12th instant, when the wind changed and blew a heavy gale from the N.E. The Don Juan has on board in all seventy‐three South Sea Islanders for Captain Towns’ cotton plantation. One of the islanders died on Saturday last from exhaustion caused by sea sickness. He was buried on Mud Island. The agreement made with these men is, that they shall receive ten shillings a month, and have their food, clothes, and shelter provided for them. – Queensland Guardian, August 18, The North Australian, 20 August 1863 The arrival of the Don Juan, schooner, at the port of Brisbane, with sixty‐seven natives of the New Hebrides, to, be employed on Captain Towns Cotton Plantation at the Logan River, would under any circumstances be an addition to the population of the colony worthy of more than ordinary notice.

All aspects of development on a Local Heritage Place in a Local Heritage Register under the Queensland Heritage Act 1992, are code assessable (unless City Plan 2000 requires impact assessment). Those code assessable applications are assessed against the Code in Schedule 2 of the Queensland Heritage Regulation 2003 and the Heritage Place Code in City Plan 2000.

  • Submisssion Queensland Floods Commision of Enquiry
    SUBMISSSION QUEENSLAND FLOODS COMMISION OF ENQUIRY By KEN ALDERTON Page 2 1. SUMMARY This submission addresses the Commission‘s term of reference (g), namely: ‗all aspects of land use planning through local and regional planning systems to minimise infrastructure and property impacts from floods‘ It demonstrates that the pressures and cultures within Local Government Authorities, LGAs, produce faulty decisions for Development Applications on flood prone land. These faulty decisions have progressively increased the number of properties that have the potential to be inundated during periodic floods, increase the number of people adversely affected by flooding and increase the costs of restitution. There is some evidence that the effects are concentrated in more vulnerable groups like those who rent properties and elderly people in retirement centres who have no reason to be aware of the flooding history of the land. The evidence is drawn exclusively from the Ipswich City Council area but this submission has statewide relevance. Ipswich City Council is a good example to illustrate the more general position in the state since it: 1. Is one of the major LGAs in Queensland that have been sustained extensive flood damage in both the 1974 and 2011 flood events. 2. Has both urban and rural areas that are subject to periodic flooding. 3. Has an operational structure similar to most other Local Government Authorities. 4. Is subject to developmental pressures that are common to other Local Government Authorities. Furthermore, effective solutions need to be implemented at the State rather than Local Government level. 2. RECOMMENDATIONS 1. That the State Government establish by legislation mandatory criteria for flood prone land.
