The offer was unconstitutional because on 10 July 1899, the Premier made it in response to a request from the Commandant and senior officers of the Queensland Defence Force that ‘in the event of war breaking out in South Africa the Colony of Queensland could send a contingent of troops and a machine gun’. War was not declared until 10 October 1899. Under Westminster government conventions, the Commandant’s request for military intervention in an overseas war should have been discussed by the elected legislators in the House. However, Parliament had gone into recess on 24 June following the Federation debate. During the critical 10-week period, the politicians were in their electorates preparing for the Federation Referendum on 2 September 1899, after which Parliament would resume.

The decade saw a flowering of Australian literature. It saw tremendous social and economic changes. Partly as a result of these changes, these years saw the rise of a new force in Australian politics - the labour movement. In some colonies, this development was overshadowed by the consolidation of a colonial liberal tradition reaching its culmination in the Deakinite liberalism of the early years of the tlommdhwealth. Developments in Queensland differed from those in the southern colonies.

Fouras, Ashgrove) read prayers and took the chair at 10 a.m. SOLICITOR-GENERAL'S OPINION ON SUB JUDICE RULE Mr SPEAKER: Honourable members, I have received the following letter from the Crown Solicitor— "I refer to previous correspondence in relation to the Speaker's ruling in respect of the C.J.C. investigation into travelling allowances and expenses claimed by Members of the Legislative Assembly and now enclose the Solicitor General's opinion on the matter. It will be seen that the Solicitor General's opinion is that whilst it is a matter for the discretion of the Speaker, who is personally charged with the responsibility of evaluating whether any particular discussions should take place in the House, if statements are to be made in the House which would adversely reflect on the position of particular individuals and specifically would suggest guilt of criminal offences, then in view of that point, the sub judice rule would be relevant and the Speaker would be entitled, in exercising his discretion, to prevent such statements." I table the opinion of the Solicitor-General. Whereupon Mr Speaker laid the document on the table. PETITIONS The Clerk announced the receipt of the following petitions— Adoption Law Amendment From Mr Szczerbanik (8 signatories) praying for significant changes to the Adoption of Children Act Amendment Act 1990. A similar petition was received from Mr Berghofer (68 signatories). Proposed Highway, Mount Cotton From Mr Elder (27 signatories) praying that construction of the proposed highway through the Mount Cotton area be not permitted but that the present Pacific Highway be upgraded instead.

This paper argues that, at least in Queensland, the strike had no marked effect. Industrially, the strike affected relatively few workers, given that the shearing season was already over in the northern colony. Nor did the strike have a marked political impact. The decision to form a Labor Party was made prior to the strike’s commencement. In Queensland the Labor Party, and the labour movement more generally, were the creation of decades of achievement, not one or two tumultuous events. There are few more famous dictums in Australian labour history than W.G. Spence‟s observation that: „The great turning point in the history of Australian Labor was undoubtedly the maritime strike ..

  • Queensland's Electoral Experience
    'Adventure, Heterodoxy and Knavery': Queensland's Electoral Experience Rae Wear I have drawn the title for this paper, which celebrates the 100-year anniversary of the abolition of plural voting in Queensland, from S.R. Davis, who described the electoral experience of the Australian states as: A mixture of three things — adventure, heterodoxy and knavery. Between them, the States have fathered a crop of electoral devices, confounded their textbook behaviour, and at times and in places used them with a skill which even a fun-fair poker machine proprietor could admire.1 Electoral systems provide a great deal of scope for engineering — Grofman and Lijphart list 13 elements of political laws whose manipulation will produce different political outcomes.2 Queensland politicians experimented with most of them, and while some electoral legislation helped cement this country's reputation as a democratic 'pacemaker for the world',3 other laws were barefaced attempts to gain political advantage. Sometimes both outcomes were achieved. Even when genuine democratic advances were made, the new laws changed the political balance and advantaged one side over the other. Almost always, changes were rationalised in democratic terms: only rarely was a political purpose in tampering with electoral machinery acknowledged, although opposition parties, who operated with equal expediency when in office, usually raised the alarm. Colonial Queensland was replete with accusations of roll tampering, interference with the ballot, and intimidation of voters. Duncan

Chapter 2 The Queensland Labour Movement To 1913 "If we workingmen are to get beneficial legislation, it is largely to ourselves we must trust". Albert Hinchcliffe, President, Queensland Trades and Labour Council, to the Inter-Colonial Trade Union Congress, Brisbane, 1888. By the 1880s Queensland society had largely evolved from the penal and frontier society of forty years beforehand into a more established and developed colonial outpost. Brisbane in the south east provided a commercial and administrative capital with significant regional centres at Rockhampton, Townsville, and Cairns along the coast with Ipswich, Toowoomba, Gympie and Charters Towers inland. These centres were serviced by ports and an expanding railway system that ensured that by the 1880s all but the most inhospitable areas in the north of the colony were inhabited. Furthermore what had become evident by the 1880s in Queensland was that the economy would be reliant upon primary industries such as pastoralism, mining and the sugar industry. As predominately rural industries the community of workers that serviced these industries were thus rural communities dispersed throughout a large colony and with various political and cultural beliefs.

Not within the meaning of repro­ ductive, as applied to loan moneys, but does the hon. member assert that the granting of some little assistance to the unemployed in distress during the Christmas period is not reproductive to the community? " SUGGESTED REDUCTION OF PENALTY FOR LAT!O PAYMENT OF CROWN RENTS. Mr. BRAND (Isis), for Mr. EDWARDS (~Yan.ango), asked the Secretary for Public Lands- " In view of the general and substan­ tial fall in interest rates and the reduc­ tion under the Local Authorities Bill of the maximum discount allowable by local authorities from 8 to 5 per cent., will he give favourable consideration to the reduction to a proportionate extent of the 10 per cent. penalty imposed for late payment of Crown rentals ?" The SECRETARY FOR PUBLIC LANDS (Hon. P. Pease, Herbert) replied- " In order to protect Crown revenues and to discourage deliberate default in payment of rents, it" is essential that a penalty be imposed which is substantially higher than the bank rate of interest. The statqtory penalty of 10 per cent. per annum on overdue Crown rents has been in force for many yearq, but in practice each case is dealt with by the present Government on its merits, the penalties being either reduced to 5 per cent. or entirely remitted in deserving cases."

  • 231 Thomas Glassey—Queensland Labour Leader
    231 THOMAS GLASSEY—QUEENSLAND LABOUR LEADER (Read by S. A. RAYNER, M.A., at the meeting of the Historical Society of Queensland, Inc., on April 25, 1946) As we view the benefits enjoyed by all classes under our progressive social legislation, it is only fitting to honour an advocate of political reform and better industrial conditions. Through the efforts in Parlia- rnent of the early Labour pioneers the ideals they en­ visaged have come to be accepted as the basis of our modern industrial relations. Outstanding among them was Thomas Glassey, the first representative of Labour to win an Australian parliamentary election. Around the name of Thomas Glassey a fertile crop of legends has arisen, industriously cultivated by friend and foe in that stormy period of political strife over forty years ago. To his enemies he was a vain old man who would wreck the party to further his am­ bition ; to his friends he was the founder of the Labour movement, a statesman intrigued against by his dis­ gruntled proteges. Now that the need for them has passed, such exaggerations can be ignored and the value of Tom Glassey's work can be appraised more dis­ passionately. Thomas Glassey was born at Market Hill, County Armagh, Northern Island, in 1844. His mother died while he was still an infant and when his father mar­ ried again the Glassey home does not seem to have been a happy one. At the age of six, necessitous family circumstances forced him to go into the local linen mill. Here he assisted the hand loom weavers and received the muni­ ficent sum of one penny per day, with his midday meals thrown in.
