  • The Nicklin Government's Legislative Program
    5. The Nicklin government’s legislative program Frank Nicklin led a conservative government that believed steadfastly in the power of the state and the responsibility of governments to govern. His governments undertook a relatively activist legislative program, which was maintained over four succeeding parliaments throughout the decade of his premiership, 1957–68. The government’s legislative appetite generally increased with its tenure in office, reflecting perhaps increasing confidence in incumbency or the tendency for modern governments to resort to legislative solutions. Increased legislation was also part of modern society—in particular, the policy areas under the justice portfolio had large increases in legislation as more areas came under regulation and scrutiny. During its first term (1957–60), the government averaged 44 pieces of legislation per annum, then managed 54 per annum in the second term (1960–63), rising to 62 acts per annum during the thirty-seventh Parliament (1963–66). Even in his final year as Premier, Nicklin was responsible for steering 53 legislative measures through the Assembly. In total, the Nicklin government passed 591 pieces of legislation. Of this total, the number of new acts was 192 (or about 17 per parliamentary session), with 394 pieces of amending legislation (approximately 100 per parliament or 36 per session). Over the Nicklin decade, five repeal bills were passed (see Table 5.1). As Table 5.2 indicates, the government’s main legislative activity, judged according to the number of measures, was predominantly directed towards two areas: justice issues or measures under the Attorney-General’s portfolio (107 acts) and Treasury and financial measures (103 acts).

  • Frank Nicklin and the Coalition Government, 1957-1968
    401 Frank Nicklin and the Coalition Government, 1957-1968 by Brian Stevenson Presented to a meeting of the Societi;, 27 April, 1989 Coalition governments are Queensland's political past and future. As the three major parties prepare for the 1989 state elections, none of them has a strong chance of winning government in their own right. If no party wins the numbers to govern alone, a conservative coalition government seems the most likely outcome if Queensland is not to enter an Itahan-style era of unstable administrations, minority governments and frequent elections. This paper examines the coalition governments that ruled Queensland during the most tranquil decade of its recent political history — the Nicklin governments of 1957 to 1968. It concentrates on the relationship between the two conservative parties during Frank Nicklin's stewardship. Many times, Nicklin and his calming influence would prove the most important element in keeping the relationship on an even keel. When he came to power in 1957 after the Labor split, Nicklin, although the most senior member of the government side, had had no experience in government. He was elected to Parliament on the day in 1932 when the conservative coalition of Arthur Moore was defeated at the polls. But Nicklin, as well as having seen the disastrous results to the Labour party when it failed to suppress the discord within its ranks, had experienced the full frustrating and erratic history of coalition co-operation during a quarter of a century in opposition. The conservative coalition forged by Arthur Moore under the label Country-Progressive Nationalist Party (CPNP) lasted one term in opposition, but after they were annihilated at the polls in 1935, disintegration was swift.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    8. The early Bjelke-Petersen years, 1968-1969 The ‘swinging Sixties’ was a time of cultural change and challenge to the Establishment. Political protests and popular dissent took on a generational schism; social movements and mass demonstrations were inflamed by a distrust of government and a resistance to conscription and the Vietnam War. The ‘New Left’ was on the rise in university campuses. Student liberation seemed a potent force. ‘Drop-outs’ were in; hippies and flower power spread across the globe; and the drug culture and rock music became palliatives to the disenchanted. Assertive slogans came to symbolise a new generation: ‘do it’, ‘free love’, ‘peace’, ‘make love, not war’. Meanwhile, in 1968, Czechoslovakia had been invaded by the Soviets, Paris was in turmoil with strikes and student protests, the Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King, jr, had been assassinated and the Americans were preparing to land on the Moon. Pop songs plugged away at the themes of revolution, street-fighting men, the Age of Aquarius and emphasising the ‘times they are-a-changing’. If Australia was somewhat shielded from the extremes of the 1960s, a postwar generation had now enjoyed full employment and come to expect a high standard of living as a right. The home, the Holden car and the Hills hoist were among life’s little staples. The children born in the years after the war formed a huge wave of ‘baby boomers’ who by this time were entering adulthood and exercising their political expression and numerical strength. In the social uncertainty and political turmoil of the late 1960s, Queensland appointed an abstemious, god-fearing Lutheran to lead the state into the 1970s.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    4. Safely in the saddle: the Nicklin government, 1963–1968 Premier Frank Nicklin served almost four terms as leader of the Coalition. Despite his age and gradually deteriorating physical condition, he was prevailed on to remain in the job after the 1963 election and to postpone plans to retire. There were no eager leadership challengers or anxious pretenders waiting in the wings. When the time came for a change of leader, seniority would determine the next in line—a promotion principle used generally by both Coalition parties in settling leadership questions. In the mid-1960s, the Coalition team was relieved to be in government and Nicklin was their most attractive asset with the electorate. Eventually, he continued in office until he was seventy-two years of age, retiring simultaneously from the premiership and leadership of the Country Party on 17 January 1968. By that stage, a smooth leadership transition was envisaged, with the deputy Country Party leader, Jack Pizzey, anointed as his successor. Even the best-laid plans, however, sometimes go astray. The 1963 election: the first using compulsory preferential voting The thirty-sixth Parliament was dissolved in December 1962 and the Parliament did not meet in 1963 until after the election, which was held on 1 June. The 1963 state election was the first postwar election conducted on a compulsory preferential voting system and a record total of 240 candidates stood for the 78 Legislative Assembly seats. Labor contested every seat and won one uncontested. The Coalition stood 73 candidates (the Liberals standing 38 and the Country Party 35).

  • The Early Nicklin Years, 1957–1963
    3. The early Nicklin years, 1957–1963 Queensland’s Parliament during the early Nicklin years experienced considerable turmoil. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, successive parliaments did not resemble a traditional ‘two-party adversarial’ institution. The composition of the Assembly reflected the schisms of the 1957 Labor split and consisted of multiple parties together with independents or disaffected mavericks. The Parliament was a collection of disparate factions that had survived the tumultuous events of 1957. Many on the non-government benches were ex-ministers with long parliamentary experience and political acumen. Idiosyncratic individuals and a four-way party split were the most noticeable features of the era. Individual parties might have been disciplined, but for a couple of terms the standard adversarial structure was overlaid by the consequences of the momentous split. In the early Nicklin years, the Parliament was not as tightly orchestrated as it would later become and parliamentary debates were more open but also vitriolic. Debates often meandered around with outspoken individuals attacking opponents at random or settling previous personal scores of little relevance to the topic under discussion. With time, however, the Country and Liberal Parties began to hold sway, sustained by comfortable majorities in the House over succeeding parliaments. As the most disciplined and unified political force, they began a new phase of Queensland’s political and parliamentary history. Historians have tended to view positively the early period of Coalition government after 1957, arguing that the Nicklin-led Coalition represented a high-water mark in cohesion, trust and amicability between the two conservative parties (Stevenson 1985; Hazlehurst 1987).

  • Brisbane Tattersall's Club: Change and Continuity, Success and Survival (1883 – 2015)
    Brisbane Tattersall’s Club: Change and Continuity, Success and Survival (1883 – 2015) Alexander Lister BA History (Hons) A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 School of Historical and Philosophical Inquiry Abstract Tattersall’s is a private, male-only membership club located in the heart of the Brisbane central business district. It was formally established in 1883 by a group of prominent local businessmen involved in the thoroughbred horseracing industry in Queensland. Since that time, the Club has grown alongside the city and state, and is today made up of a 5,000- strong membership spanning multiple professions, commerce, government and sports. This thesis assesses how the identity of Tattersall’s Club has changed from its traditional roots in thoroughbred racing to its modern, more corporate character of today. It is arranged into three sections that highlight how change has been an important element of Tattersall’s since 1883, but one that has been finely balanced with a strong sense of continuity in many Club traditions. For instance, although thoroughbred horseracing has become less central to the character of Tattersall’s, the Club still holds four race meetings of its own each year. Similarly, while the Club underwent a significant redevelopment in the 1990s to provide new facilities that included a mixed dining room, function rooms and a health centre, its original Club Room (built in 1926) and Dining Hall (1939) remain largely unchanged and essential components of the Club today. The thesis argues that it is this balance between change and continuity that has enabled Tattersall’s to survive and prosper up until the present day, as it has maintained a clear loyalty to its traditions but has consistently and successfully sought ways in which to progress.
