The signifi cance of the research undertaken by scientists in the Biodiversity Program was rewarded with almost $960,000 in grants and consultancies. With an extraordinary heritage of almost 145 years of support from Queenslanders young and old, the Queensland Museum is ready to embark on its next phase. The Museum’s capacity to be part of our lives has never been stronger. I look forward to joining with fellow Queenslanders on this new journey of discovery. Anne Jones This was an exciting year for the Queensland Museum Chair with the last remaining key initiative from the Museum’s Board of the Queensland Museum Strategic Plan 2002–2006 successfully achieved. On behalf of the Board, I would like to congratulate staff for their commitment to this vision and say how much we look forward to the next phase of Queensland Museum’s continuing growth and success. This key milestone, the development and celebratory opening of the Museum’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Cultures Centre, Dandiiri Maiwar, based at Queensland Museum South Bank, involved staff in almost all programs and extensive collaboration with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities across Queensland. Dandiiri Maiwar is a prime example of the collaborative nature and community reach of the Queensland Museum. The signifi cant community role played by the Museum extends across Queensland. As a truly statewide service, Queensland Museum’s network of campuses, unique Museum Loans Service, the Museum Resource Centre Network, the innovative Biobus, our increasingly high profi le publishing business and the Queensland Museum website gives the Museum an enviable opportunity to listen to Queenslanders, share our knowledge with them and play an active part in their everyday lives. Over 780,000 people visited a Queensland Museum campus during this past year. Many thousands more had contact with the Museum via our other programs, highlighting the relevance that the Museum has today that will, without a doubt, continue into the future. The Museum also continued to play a key role in the Smart State initiative with its renowned research programs focussing on the important areas of ecosystem health, faunas of commercial or medical signifi cance, climate 2 Queensland Museum Annual Report 2005–2006 Report from the Director Queensland Museum During the past 12 months, the Queensland Museum has successfully accomplished the remaining key milestones set out in our Strategic Plan 2002–2006 and has laid down solid foundations for the next exciting chapter of this much loved Queensland icon. During 2005–2006 the Queensland Museum, with collaboration from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities throughout the State, created and is proud to host Dandiiri Maiwar, a unique exploration of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander experiences and perspectives – in their own voices. I congratulate the Queensland Museum staff who have been involved in the development and delivery of this landmark project. A new collection management system has commenced and the appointment of a Strategic Collection Manager to work across all campuses will review collection storage needs and encourage better access and conservation run in conjunction with the Department of State of the State’s several million important cultural and Development, Treasury and Innovation and Education biodiversity collection items.

    AN EXAMINATION OF HOW THE MILITARY, THE CONSERVATIVE PRESS AND MINISTERIALIST POLITICIANS GENERATED SUPPORT WITHIN QUEENSLAND FOR THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA IN 1899 AND 1900 Margaret Jean Klaassen ASDA, ATCL, LTCL, FTCL, BA 1988 Triple Majors: Education, English & History, University of Auckland. The University Prize in Education of Adults awarded by the Council of the University of Auckland, 1985. Submitted in full requirement for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Division of Research & Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology 2014 Keywords Anglo-Boer War, Boer, Brisbane Courier, Dawson, Dickson, Kitchener, Kruger, Orange Free State, Philp, Queensland, Queenslander, Transvaal, War. ii Abstract This thesis examines the myth that Queensland was the first colonial government to offer troops to support England in the fight against the Boers in the Transvaal and Orange Free State in 1899. 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.
