    The Doldrums in Opposition, 1968–1989

    13 . The doldrums in opposition, 1968–1989 By 1968, after 10 years in opposition, Labor was finally getting its act together, presenting itself as a viable alternative to the government. While Labor had regrouped and seen off the rival QLP–DLP challenge, the Coalition government had entered a period of instability. In 1968, Frank Nicklin, the ‘Gentleman Premier’, had finally retired and his successor, Jack Pizzey, died suddenly after only six months in office. The new Premier, Joh Bjelke-Petersen, had difficulties convincing his colleagues that he had the wherewithal to lead the government and be electorally competitive. Labor had replaced the veteran Jack Duggan with Jack Houston, who was finally making some impression with voters. Labor’s vote had been increasing but was no threat to the conservative Coalition’s hegemony. Yet Labor was afflicted with bouts of internecine conflict and found it difficult to present a unified image to the electorate. It appeared that the parliamentary party (and its union wing) was perpetually feuding and driven largely by enmity, unfit to govern and incapable of denting the Coalition’s popularity. Over successive elections, Labor looked divided, presented dull and predictable campaigns and had bland leaders who spent their time looking over their shoulders. As one contemporary commentator noted: ‘The Labor Party, with wondrous inventiveness, manage[d] to find new ways to stab itself in the back’ (The Age, 29 November 1980). Labor’s three decades in opposition were not due entirely to the government’s constraints or the gerrymander; Labor would have to share some of the blame for its internal disarray and factional brawling.

    Speech By Leanne Linard MEMBER FOR NUDGEE Record of Proceedings, 5 May 2015 MAIDEN SPEECH Ms LINARD (Nudgee—ALP) (8.30 pm): It is a tremendous honour to rise to address this House as the newly elected member for Nudgee. I take this opportunity, along with many before me, to congratulate the member for Nicklin on his elevation to the honourable position of Speaker of the 55th Parliament of Queensland. I also congratulate our Premier, Annastacia Palaszczuk, and thank her for the leadership and humility she has shown, both in opposition and now government. I congratulate all members on their election to this honourable place, particularly those who have been elevated to the high office of cabinet and shadow cabinet positions. I would like to sincerely thank my community, the electors of Nudgee—from the suburbs of Boondall and Zillmere in the north of my electorate to Nundah, Northgate, Chermside and Wavell Heights in the south and Banyo, Nudgee, Nudgee Beach, Virginia and Geebung in between—for the great honour they have afforded me to serve them in this place. I am the fifth member and first woman elected to represent the electorate of Nudgee. I acknowledge the service of the four members who came before me, particularly the proud Labor tradition of service by Jack Melloy; Ken Vaughan, a friend much missed; and Neil Roberts. With the exception of two years, I have lived in the Nudgee electorate since I was 12 years of age. It is where I studied, volunteered and started my first job, where my husband and I bought our first home and where we are now raising our two young boys.

    Split, Intervention, Renewal: the ALP in Queensland 1957 – 1989 Susan Terrencia Yarrow Bachelor of Arts

    Split, intervention, renewal: The ALP in Queensland 1957 – 1989 Susan Terrencia Yarrow Bachelor of Arts A thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2014 School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics Abstract On 1 March 1980, the National Executive of the Australian Labor Party intervened in the affairs of its Queensland Branch, dissolving the existing party arrangements, seizing the financial statements and party assets, and creating a new administration. The conflict that precipitated this drastic step followed years of internal division and publicly aired disputes while the Queensland leadership delivered poor electoral results at both state and federal elections. This thesis examines the conflict in detail, its causes (including the lasting impact of the 1957 split), the combatants, and what the intervention reforms eventually delivered. In this thesis, I analyse the factors that led to intervention including the nature and outlook of the Queensland leaders, the ‘Old Guard’ often referred to as the Trades Hall Group, and the background and motivations of the reformers, the ‘New Guard.’ The Old Guard finally succumbed to reform, threatened from within by the influx of new members clamouring for change, and by the federal intervention from without. I examine how, over time, the party reformed, modernised and adapted to change and in so doing re-invented and renewed itself sufficiently, after 32 years in opposition, to once again win government in Queensland for 21 of the next 23 years. ii Declaration by author This thesis is composed of my original work, and contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference has been made in the text.
