  • 6 New Homework in State Schools Policy
    Queensland Parliamentary Library Homework for the 21st Century The Education (General Provisions) Act 2006 (Qld) was passed by the Queensland Parliament on 11 August 2006. Section 427 of the Act enables the chief executive of the Department of Education and the Arts to develop guidelines about homework for State schools. In July 2006, the Homework in State Schools Policy was released. It recognises that the setting of homework must take into account the need for children to have a balanced lifestyle and should be purposeful and relevant to student needs. Guidelines are included regarding the time students at different phases of learning should allocate to homework. This Research Brief examines the arguments that have been presented by education experts and others favouring or opposing homework. It then discusses the Queensland Government’s review of homework in State schools, including a wide-ranging Homework Literature Review of research findings about the impact of homework on students and their families and other related matters. The Brief then considers the background to the development of the homework provision set out in the new Act and examines the recently released policy guidelines about the setting of homework in State schools.

  • QUEENSLAND January to June 2001
    552 Political Chronicles QUEENSLAND January to June 2001 JOHN WANNA and TRACEY ARKLAY School of Politics and Public Policy, Griffith University Playing Smart Politics with a Divided Opposition On 23 January, after embarking on a three week "listening tour" around the state's shopping centres, jumping on public transport and swimming with sharks, the Premier Peter Beattie called an early election for 17 February 2001 — with six months of his first term remaining. The campaign ran for 26 days, the shortest permissible under the Electoral Act. The catalyst for the snap poll was the damage to Beattie's government caused by the "electoral rorts" scandal involving mainly the powerful Australian Workers' Union faction. While the initial allegations of electoral fraud had involved pre-selection battles in two Townsville seats, the repercussions were much wider engulfing the entire party and bringing down the Deputy Premier Jim Elder and two backbenchers, Grant Musgrove and Mike Kaiser. However, Beattie's political opponents were divided and Labor benefitted from a four-way split among the conservative side of politics and some other conservative independents. From the outset of the campaign, Beattie attempted to present his team as "clean" and free of rorters. He argued that the evidence to the Shepherdson inquiry (see previous Queensland Political Chronicle) demonstrated that the rorters were "just a tiny cell of people acting alone, and they have resigned or been expelled, and I don't believe anyone else is involved" (Courier-Mail, 17 January 2001). As the campaign commenced, it became clear that Labor's campaign was not just organised around the Premier; Beattie was Labor's campaign.
