Legislative Assembly Hansard 1960 Queensland Parliamentary Debates [Hansard] Legislative Assembly TUESDAY, 20 SEPTEMBER 1960 Electronic reproduction of original hardcopy Address in Reply [20 SEPTEMBER] Questions 367 TUESDAY, 20 SEPTEMBER, 1960 Mr. SPEAKER (Hon. D. E. Nicholson, Murrumba) took the chair at 11 a.m. SCREENING OF FILMS Mr. SPEAKER: Hon. members, arrange­ ments have been made for two films to be screened in the Legislative Council Chamber at 7.30 o'clock this evening. One film deals with last year's Commonwealth Parliamentary Association General Con­ ference and the other with the Queensland Centenary celebrations. There will be other features on 35 millimetre slides and hon. members are invited to attend. QUESTIONS SPECIAL BRANCH, QUEENSLAND POLICE FORCE Mr. HANLON (Baroona) asked the Minister for Labour and Industry- "What was the numerical strength of the Special Branch of the Queensland Police Force as at June 30, 1957, 1958, 1959 and 1960?" Hon. K. J. MORRIS (Mt. Coot-tha) replied- "1957, 17; 1958, 17; 1959, 17; and 1960, 17." COMPENSATION ON ACQUISITION OF LAND FOR RoAD WIDENING Mr. AIKENS (Townsville South) asked the Minister for Public Works and Local Government- "In view of his reply to my question of September 14 on the subject of the acquisi­ tion of land for road-widening purposes by the Townsville City Council, will he in the interests of simple justice see to it that tbe Council informs the landholders con­ cerned of the protection afforded them under the law, instead of attempting to stampede them into action that would be unnecessary and costly?" Hon. L. H. S. ROBERTS (Whitsunday) replied- "Since the Honourable Member asked this question, I have asked the Townsville City Council to send me a copy of the notices which it has given to land-holders affected by re-alignments. These notice~; set out in full the provisions of Section 35 (10) of the Local Government Acts insofar as they relate to land-owners, includ­ ing the provision to which I referred in the answer to the Honourable Member's previous question on this subject.

    76 CHAPTER 4 THE REALITY BEHIND THE BRISBANE LINE ALLEGATIONS Curtin lacked expertise in defence matters. He did not understand the duties or responsibilities of military commanders and never attended Chiefs of Staff meetings, choosing to rely chiefly on the Governments public service advisers. Thus Shedden established himself as Curtins chief defence adviser. Under Curtin his influence was far greater than 1 it had ever been in Menzies day. Curtins lack of understanding of the role of military commanders, shared by Forde, created misunderstandings and brought about refusal to give political direction. These factors contributed to events that underlay the Brisbane Line controversy. Necessarily, Curtin had as his main purpose the fighting and the winning of the war. Some Labor politicians however saw no reason why the conduct of the war should prevent Labor introducing social reforms. Many, because of their anti-conscriptionist beliefs, were unsympathetic 2 to military needs. Conversely, the Army Staff Corps were mistrustful of their new masters. The most influential of their critics was Eddie Ward, the new Minister for Labour and National Service. His hatred of Menzies, distrust of the conservative parties, and suspicion of the military impelled him towards endangering national security during the course of the Brisbane Line controversy. But this lay in the future in the early days of the Curtin Government. Not a great deal changed immediately under Curtin. A report to Forde by Mackay on 27 October indicated that appreciations and planning for local defence in Queensland and New South Wales were based on the assumption that the vital area of Newcastle-Sydney-Port Kembla had priority in defence.

  • World War Ii: Wolston House, Wacol
    WORLD WAR II: WOLSTON HOUSE, WACOL A Year 10 study on the impact of World War II in Brisbane, with a focus on the Grindle family of Wolston House at Wacol near Brisbane. The National Trust of Australia (Queensland) [NTA(Q)] http://www.nationaltrust.org.au/qld For the Student: Imagine one million military personnel from different nations passing through your town bringing with them new products and ideas and a faster pace of life. This happened to Brisbane, population 340,000, between 1939 and 1945. This study is designed to introduce you to how life changed for Australians as a result of World War II. For those at home, this meant restrictions. The Australian Government controlled the news you read or heard on the radio and the types and quantities of food you could buy. If you were not in military service, the Government could designate where you worked, for the duration of the war. In this study you are asked to read a variety of online source documents and answer questions about what you have read. For the Teacher: This study can form a component of a in-depth study of World War II. Students will research the impact of World War II on the Australian home front by looking at the Grindle family, occupants of Brisbane’s Wolston House from 1906 to 1956. A mix of primary and secondary online resources is presented. Students are asked to draw conclusions about the information and the sources used. Focus: Brisbane was arguably the Australian capital city most affected by the entry of the United States into World War II.

  • The Brisbane Line
    The Brisbane Line VOL 6; ISSUE 4. First Quarter 2019 PRESIDENT’S REPORT RUSIQ’s July 5 seminar is important. ______________________________________________________________________ It is now eight months into the second year of my presidency. It has been important to set goals and work to those achievements. The most important immediate objective is to make the seminar set for 5 July 2019 a success. The subject is “Political Trajectories: The Future of Australia – Indonesia Relations in a Contested Indo – Pacific Order”. This project is of the highest priority, and the RUSI website covers all details to register, and the programme. The seminar will attract participants from interstate, and many who may have no knowledge of the activities of RUSI. The event has been made possible through a grant from the Department of Defence. The workload for preparation has been onerous on our Senior Vice- President, Brigadier Ian Errington. His expertise on the subject, personal relationships with major presenters and professional dedication will ensure a very refined event. Throughout the year and a half, we have progressively worked to set the highest standards for presenters to the RUSIQ monthly luncheon and lecture subject. It has reflected in an increase in members attending. It is acknowledged that an organisation such as RUSIQ has an ageing demographic, and the Executive is conscious that there is an urgency to attract a younger membership. I have the opinion that our existing members are a source with capability to introduce new members. The RUSIQ story is a very worthy tale, and our objectives need to be explained to the community.

  • The Brisbane Line: an Episode in Capital History
    The Brisbane Line: An episode in capital history Drew Cottle The Dominant Views of the Brisbane Line The Brisbane Line remains one of the enigmas of Australian history. It is seen either as a military plan drawn up in 1908 to defend Australia from a possible Japanese invasion, or in terms of the unfounded allegations by Labor’s Eddie Ward against the defeatism of the first Menzies government to boost the Curtin government’s chances in the 1943 federal election. In a fading popular memory the Brisbane Line is recalled as scenes of panic and flight by North Queenslanders fleeing south in fear of a Japanese invasion. In his recent detailed study of the Brisbane Line, Paul Burns concluded that there was a plan to evacuate Australia north of a military line drawn from Brisbane to Adelaide and to defend that part of populated industrialised Australia south of the line from enemy attack. Burns saw Ward’s charges of treachery as an electoral stunt without substance.1 It might be presumed that the Brisbane Line enigma is no more. The Burns interpretation has seemingly utilised every available archival source on the topic. But Burns’ conclusion is narrow and empirically limited. Like other studies of the Brisbane Line, the Burns view is bereft of historical context, class analysis and of dependent Australian capitalism’s place both within the inter-imperialist rivalries of the inter-war period and the political economy of empire. Taken together these elements allow the Brisbane Line to be re-examined as a neglected episode of capital history.

    The impact of the counterculture on Australian cinema in the mid to late 20th century A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Art Administration (Hons) within the School of Art History and Art Education, College of Fine Arts, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. Fiona Hooton 1 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Hooton First name: Fiona Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: School: School of Art History and Art Education Faculty:COFA Title: The impact of the counterculture on Australian cinema in the mid to late 20th century 2 Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis discusses the impact of the counterculture on Australian cinema in the late 20thcentury through the work of the Sydney Underground Film group, Ubu. This group, active between 1965 -1970, was a significant part of an underground counter culture, to which many young Australians subscribed. As a group, Ubu was more than a rat bag assemblage of University students. It was an antipodean aspect of an ongoing artistic and political movement that began with the European avant-garde at the beginning of the 20th century and that radically transformed artistic conventions in theatre, painting, literature, photography and film. Three purposes underpin this thesis: firstly to track the art historical links between a European avant-garde heritage and Ubu. Experimental film is a genre that is informed by cross art form interrelations between theatre, painting, literature, photography and film and the major modernist aesthetic philosophies of the last century.
