    Queensland's Annexation of Papua: a Background to Anglo-German Friction

    123 QUEENSLAND'S ANNEXATION OF PAPUA: A BACKGROUND TO ANGLO-GERMAN FRICTION by PETER OVERLACK, B.A., Dip. Ed. Presented at a meeting of the Society on 26 October 1978. INTRODUCTION New Guinea, situated as it is, has pushed itself several times in our history into Australian consciousness as a sword of Dam­ ocles, a weak point in the far north. The first time was the period of colonial annexation in 1883-4. Last century, the eastern Australian colonies and New Zealand felt considerable anxiety about areas in the Pacific which had not been annexed by Brit­ ain, and pressure was brought to bear on the Imperial Govern­ ment to declare a Protectorate over that part of New Guinea not annexed by the Dutch, as well as over the Bismarck Archipelago and the Solomon Islands. The Queensland Government led by Sir Thomas McIIwraith attempted to force Britain's hand by sending Mr. H. M. Chester from Thursday Island to annex the non-Dutch areas in 1883. However, the annexation was disowned by the Imperial Govern­ ment. Considerable pressure led to the New Guinea and Pacific Jurisdiction Act of 1884, embodying an arrangment whereby the Austialian colonies. New Zealand and Fiji agreed to contribute varying amounts to a total of £15,000 per annum to meet the expenses of establishing control over New Guinea. Queensland throughout took a leading part. Australasian pressure for several years met with masterly inactivity in the Colonial Office during a period when prior to 1884, a momentous year in the development of German colonial consciousness, Britian could have annexed any island group in the western Pacific without fear of antagonising any other Power.
