  • 2015 Queensland State Election: an Overview
    RESEARCH PAPER SERIES, 2015–16 17 SEPTEMBER 2015 2015 Queensland state election: an overview Dr Joy McCann and Simon Speldewinde Politics and Public Administration Section Executive summary • This paper provides an overview of the issues and outcomes for the January 2015 election for the Queensland Legislative Assembly. Where appropriate, it draws on the Library’s earlier publication on the 2012 Queensland state election.1 • The 2015 Queensland state election result surprised many observers with the dramatic shift in the fortunes of the two major parties. The Australian Labor Party (ALP), having lost government at the 2012 election and retaining just seven seats, emerged with 44 of the 89 seats with a swing of 10.8 per cent. The Liberal National Party (LNP), which had won a record majority of 78 of the 89 seats at the 2012 state election, experienced a swing of 8.3 per cent against it with its seats reduced to 42. Of the remaining seats, two were won by Katter’s Australian Party and one by Independent Peter Wellington. • The election outcome was initially unclear when it was revealed that a Palmer United Party candidate was ineligible as a result of being an undischarged bankrupt. Electoral Commission Queensland (ECQ) indicated that it would refer the Ferny Grove election result to the Court of Disputed Returns but subsequently decided not to proceed based on legal advice, paving the way for the ALP to form minority government with the support of an Independent. • Several key issues emerged during the election campaign including political financing, privatisation and asset sales, the impact of mining on the Great Barrier Reef and anti-association laws.

  • 1974 Cabinet Minutes Paragraphs
    1974 Queensland Cabinet Minutes A report for Queensland State Archives By Jonathan Richards • Introduction Brisbane and many other parts of Queensland were flooded in January 1974. In that year, the Commonwealth Games was held at Christchurch, New Zealand. The average annual car registration fee was $32.61 and the basic weekly wage for an adult male, employed under a Commonwealth award and working in Brisbane, was $58.30. The clothing industry was in the process of converting to the metric system.1 On the political scene, Queensland’s Premier Joh Bjelke-Petersen (and it would appear most of the Cabinet) disagreed with Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and the Labor government in Canberra. The state enjoyed a robust electoral gerrymander, with 7,000 voters in the bush enjoying the same representation in Parliament as 25,000 metropolitan residents.2 1 OM May, 1975, Queensland Year Book 1975, Brisbane, Australian Bureau of Statistics 2 Ibid. Cabinet approved a new $680,000 plane for the Premier in July 1974: it was bigger and faster than the $241,000 model delivered less than twelve months before.3 After the state election was held on 7th December 1974, there were 39 National (previously Country) Party members, 30 Liberal Party representatives, and 11 MP’s from the Australian Labor Party. At the election, two Cabinet members retired and one was not given a portfolio in the new Government. Nine days after the election, Cabinet approved the rezoning of land owned by Minister Russ Hinze (appointed in November), for a quarry.4 • Commonwealth Government relations with Queensland Relations with the Commonwealth Government were one of the major topics of discussion for the Queensland Cabinet in 1974.

  • Ap2 Final 16.2.17
    PALASZCZUK’S SECOND YEAR AN OVERVIEW OF 2016 ANN SCOTT HOWARD GUILLE ROGER SCOTT with cartoons by SEAN LEAHY Foreword This publication1 is the fifth in a series of Queensland political chronicles published by the TJRyan Foundation since 2012. The first two focussed on Parliament.2 They were written after the Liberal National Party had won a landslide victory and the Australian Labor Party was left with a tiny minority, led by Annastacia Palaszczuk. The third, Queensland 2014: Political Battleground,3 published in January 2015, was completed shortly before the LNP lost office in January 2015. In it we used military metaphors and the language which typified the final year of the Newman Government. The fourth, Palaszczuk’s First Year: a Political Juggling Act,4 covered the first year of the ALP minority government. The book had a cartoon by Sean Leahy on its cover which used circus metaphors to portray 2015 as a year of political balancing acts. It focussed on a single year, starting with the accession to power of the Palaszczuk Government in mid-February 2015. Given the parochial focus of our books we draw on a limited range of sources. The TJRyan Foundation website provides a repository for online sources including our own Research Reports on a range of Queensland policy areas, and papers catalogued by policy topic, as well as Queensland political history.5 A number of these reports give the historical background to the current study, particularly the anthology of contributions The Newman Years: Rise, Decline and Fall.6 Electronic links have been provided to open online sources, notably the ABC News, Brisbane Times, The Guardian, and The Conversation.

  • Opinion: Tim Carmody Deserves the Chance to Prove His Competence As Chief Justice
    Opinion: Tim Carmody deserves the chance to prove his competence as Chief Justice ANTHONY MORRIS THE COURIER-MAIL AUGUST 04, 2014 12:00AM FEW political commentators try as hard as Tony Fitzgerald to present their own political views as non-partisan. Fitzgerald’s frequent press releases have for some time carried express disclaimers, that he has “never been a member or supporter of any political party” and doesn’t know “any member of any Parliament anywhere”. He has now abandoned this practice and with good reason. Were he the official leader of the Opposition, he could not have done a better hatchet-job on the Newman Government. Which is fine. In a democracy, all citizens are entitled to push the barrow for whichever side of politics they support. What sticks in my craw, however, is the gobsmacking hypocrisy from the once-celebrated corruption-fighter. Fitzgerald obsesses over the youthfulness of the state’s Attorney-General. He does not mention that, in his early 30s, Jarrod Bleijie is about the same age as Fitzgerald was when appointed the state’s (then) youngest-ever QC. Fitzgerald says that Chief Justice Carmody “had briefly been a Family Court judge”. In fact, Carmody’s five years on the Family Court is double Fitzgerald’s time as a Federal Court Judge before appointment as Court of Appeal president. Contempt for Carmody Fitzgerald describes as “startling” and “politically charged” Carmody’s recommendation to prosecute Goss government ministers who (as he concluded) acted illegally in deciding to shred the Heiner documents. Yet Fitzgerald himself recommended “startling” and “politically-charged” prosecutions of ministers in the Bjelke-Petersen government.

  • Judicial Conduct: Crafting a System That Enhances Institutional Integrity
    JUDICIAL CONDUCT: CRAFTING A SYSTEM THAT ENHANCES INSTITUTIONAL INTEGRITY GABRIELLE APPLEBY* AND SUZANNE LE M IRE† Judges are human. It is their humanity that allows them to pass judgement on the complexities of fact and law in cases before them. However, their humanity also means they are subject to the usual gamut of human frailties. Problematic judicial conduct remains rare in Australia. However, failing to acknowledge and address it has the potential to damage the integrity of the courts and undermine the ability of individual judges to fulfil the judicial function. In this article we examine the requirements for a ‘good’ complaints system through a comparative analysis of systems operating in Australia and overseas. We proffer an alternative system for Australia, tailored to fit within our constitutional constraints whilst promoting the institutional integrity of the judiciary.
