  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    6. The oppositional parties in the Parliament, 1957–1968 Parliamentary opposition to the Nicklin government came from a host of diverse players in the decade between August 1957 and January 1968. Especially after the Labor split of 1957, opponents of the Coalition government were a dispirited and dishevelled band, most of whom appeared as individualistic dissidents. Each had their own particular fights to fight and wars to wage. Each had different enemies in sight. Labor’s Jack Duggan and the QLP’s Ted Walsh never spoke to each other again privately after the split, despite afterwards sitting together in the Assembly for more than a decade, and frequently interjecting against each other. Adversarialism was not only a matter of formal battlelines drawn across the Chamber. Indeed, some of the most intense acrimony was found within the oppositional groups among remaining members who survived the 1957 split. If occasional internal conflicts simmered through the government side of politics, they at least demonstrated the capacity to remain in office while enjoying the comforts and trappings of power. The circumstance of being in government was sufficient to instil a collective solidarity between the Coalition parties, which was evident most strongly in the ministry. In contrast, the oppositional members were far more fragmented and querulous. They demonstrated little prospect of ever forming a single cohesive opposition. Indeed, after only one term in government, the Liberals were describing Labor as the weakest opposition in Queensland’s political history. Only towards the mid-1960s did the Labor opposition gradually develop any coherence and commitment of purpose.

  • 100 Years of Women's Suffrage in Queensland 1905-2005: Some Important Firsts
    100 Years of Women's Suffrage in Queensland 1905-2005: Some Important Firsts John McCulloch The year 2005 is an important one for Queensland women for three reasons. It is the centenary of women getting the vote (25 January 1905). It is the 90th anniversary of women getting the right to stand for Parliament (23 November 1915). Finally, it is the 76th anniversary of the first woman being elected to the Queensland Parliament (11 May 1929). Irene Maud Longman Irene Maud Longman was the first woman to both stand for and be elected to the Queensland Parliament. The daughter of a Congregational Church minister, the Rev. James Molineux Bayley and his wife, Mary Alice Frencham, she was born at Franklin, Tasmania in 1877. Educated at Sydney Girls' High School and Redlands (SCEGS) North Sydney, she gained a Kindergarten Diploma, and subsequently taught at Normanhurst in Sydney and later at Rockhampton Girls' Grammar School. Mrs Longman married Hebert Albert Longman, Director of the Queensland Museum (1917—45), at Toowoomba in 1904. Her religion was Congregational. She died in Brisbane on 29 July 1964. Mrs Longman was an activist in many women's organisations. She was President of the Queensland National Council of Women (1921-25), and upon retiring was appointed Honorary President in appreciation of her accomplishments while President. She was also Honorary President of the Queensland Association for the Welfare of the Mentally Deficient, Vice President of the Lyceum Club and a long- time member of the Queensland Women's Electoral League (QWEL). Irene Longman was elected to the Queensland Parliament in the anti-Labor swing of 1929, and served one term, from 11 May 1929 until 11 June 1932.
