As the President of the Senate is absent from the Commonwealth, I address my resignation to you. I resign my place as a Senator for the State of Queensland, pursuant to section 19 of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Australia.

I understand, however, that the Liberal Party preselection will not be completed within that time frame and therefore the meeting will need to be postponed to a later date. 3486 Motion of Condolence 17 Sep 2002 OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR Annual Report Mr SPEAKER: Order! Honourable members, I lay upon the table of the House the annual report of the Office of the Governor for 2001-02. MOTION OF CONDOLENCE Deaths of Mr G. P. Scassola, MP, and Mr H. B. Lowes, MP Hon. P. D. BEATTIE (Brisbane Central—ALP) (Premier and Minister for Trade) (9.34 a.m.), by leave, without notice: I move— 1. That this House desires to place on record its appreciation of the services rendered to this state by the late Guelfi Paul Scassola and Harold Bertram Lowes, former members of the parliament of Queensland. 2. That Mr Speaker be requested to convey to the families of the deceased gentlemen the above resolution, together with an expression of the sympathy and sorrow of the members of the parliament of Queensland for the loss they have sustained. Guelfi Paul Scassola was born in Innisfail on 19 April 1940. He was educated at the Silkwood State and Silkwood Convent Schools, St Stephen's School in Brisbane, St Patrick's School at Coorparoo, Kangaroo Point State and Brisbane State High Schools, and the University of Queensland, where he gained a Bachelor of Laws degree in 1963. Mr Scassola was elected to the seat of Mount Gravatt in the state election on 12 November 1977 and held the seat until 22 October 1983. He was elected at a time when his seat was in the throes of significant developments, including preparations for the 1982 Commonwealth Games at the QEII Sports Centre, the construction of the QEII Hospital and the extension of the South East Freeway. In his first speech on 4 April 1978, Mr Scassola addressed the issue of educational rights and provision of state education for children with an intellectual disability. Throughout his parliamentary career he participated in a number of committees, including the Select Committee on Subordinate Legislation, the Parliamentary Printing Committee, the Australian Constitutional Convention and the Joint Parties Committee on Unemployment. Mr Scassola held various offices within the Liberal Party from 1964 onwards, including State Vice-President of the Queensland Liberal Party and member of the Liberal Party federal council. He was Vice-President of the Queensland branch of the Australian Cricket Society, President of the Brisbane Metropolitan Lions Club, foundation president of the Down Syndrome Association and a member of various community organisations. Mr Scassola is survived by his wife Denise, mother Dorina, children Mark and David, stepchildren Susan and John, grandchildren Samantha and Sara and sister Betty. I extend my sympathy and that of this House to his family. We wish them well. We know it is a very difficult time, but we would wish our thoughts to be with them at this time. Mr Harold Bertram Lowes was born on 1 October 1926 in Brisbane. Mr Lowes was educated at the Brisbane Church of England Grammar School and the Townsville Grammar School, his family having moved around the state with his father's work for the Queensland Department of Health. Between 1945 and 1946 Mr Lowes served with the Australian Imperial Force following World War II, rising to the rank of lieutenant, and continued military service with the Citizen Military Forces, now known as the Army Reserve, between 1948 and 1952. It was during this time that Mr Lowes began his legal career, completing his articles with Wilson Grose and Ryan in Townsville and the Solicitors Board course before being admitted as a solicitor in 1952. While he initially moved to Darwin to practise, Mr Lowes returned to Brisbane after a couple of years. Mr Lowes was elected to the seat of Brisbane in the state election on 7 December 1974. You might recall, Mr Speaker, that that was a very momentous election not just for Mr Lowes but for the Labor Party. We went to a position of 11 seats. I think we had 33 and we went to 11. It was a very significant day for not just Mr Lowes but the Liberal Party and the coalition. We all obviously remember those days with different reflections. The Liberal Party sees them as the golden days; we see them as the dark days. But that should not in any way be a reflection on the cricket team we had or Mr Lowes, who was elected at that time. I recall them very well. I was the campaign director in a seat called Ithaca—before some members were born, by the way. Mr Mulherin: Frank Gilbert. Mr BEATTIE: Frank Gilbert was the candidate; that is right. The member for Mackay would know, because he now lives in his electorate. We did not win, but we do hold that seat now with the member for Mount Coot-tha, the Health Minister. So things have improved since then. But I remember those days very well. I also remember Mr Lowes because his seat of Brisbane, as it 17 Sep 2002 Motion of Condolence 3487 was then, significantly covers my current seat of Brisbane Central, so he was one of my predecessors in this parliament. From that point of view, I want to acknowledge his service. Given his service to the country through his participation in the armed services, it is not surprising that in his maiden speech to the Legislative Assembly on 20 March 1975 Mr Lowes addressed the issue of representing his electorate. In his speech, Mr Lowes stated that it was his intention—in fact, his duty—to give active and effective representation. This is something worth remembering by all current and future members of this House. Indeed the family has served Queensland over many years. Mr Lowes's grandfather, William Bertram, was elected as a member of the Legislative Assembly from 1912 to 1929 for the seat of Maree. During his term Mr Bertram held the additional offices of Chairman of Committees from 1916 to 1920, and he was one of your predecessors, Mr Speaker. He was Speaker of the Queensland parliament from 1920 to 1929. Mr Lowes held the seat of Brisbane until 12 November 1977, when he returned to his legal practice. He lost his seat at the time that Mr Scassola was elected to the parliament, so it was an interesting handover. He continued to represent the interests of people through his professional career in both the private and public sector, including serving as a board member and later chairman of the North Brisbane Hospital Board. I extend my sympathy and that of this House to his family—to his wife, Maureen, and to his children Geoffrey, John, Gerd, Suzie, Jane and Charlie and families. While I pay special tribute to two former honourable members, it would be remiss of me on an occasion like this if I did not make some reference to another distinguished Queenslander who passed away quite tragically, and that is George Pippos. The Tourism Minister will have something to say about this later today or tomorrow as she represented the government at Mr Pippos's funeral, as did my parliamentary secretary, Darryl Briskey.

  • Avenues of Honour, Memorial and Other Avenues, Lone Pines – Around Australia and in New Zealand Background
    Avenues of Honour, Memorial and other avenues, Lone Pines – around Australia and in New Zealand Background: Avenues of Honour or Honour Avenues (commemorating WW1) Australia, with a population of then just 3 million, had 415,000 citizens mobilised in military service over World War 1. Debates on conscription were divisive, nationally and locally. It lost 60,000 soldiers to WW1 – a ratio of one in five to its population at the time. New Zealand’s 1914 population was 1 million. World War 1 saw 10% of its people, some 103,000 troops and nurses head overseas, many for the first time. Some 18,277 died in World War1 and another 41,317 (65,000: Mike Roche, pers. comm., 17/10/2018) were wounded, a 58% casualty rate. About another 1000 died within 5 years of 1918, from injuries (wiki). This had a huge impact, reshaping the country’s perception of itself and its place in the world (Watters, 2016). AGHS member Sarah Wood (who since 2010 has toured a photographic exhibition of Victoria’s avenues in Melbourne, Ballarat and France) notes that 60,000 Australian servicemen and women did not return. This left lasting scars on what then was a young, united ‘nation’ of states, only since 1901. Mawrey (2014, 33) notes that when what became known as the ‘Great War’ started, it was soon apparent that casualties were on a scale previously unimaginable. By the end of 1914, virtually all the major combatants had suffered greater losses than in all the wars of the previous hundred years put together.

Australia today The land Australia is unique in many ways. Of the world’s seven continents, Australia is the only one to be occupied by a single nation. We have the lowest population density in the world, with only two people per square kilometre. Australia is one of the world’s oldest land masses. It is the sixth largest country in the world. It is also the driest inhabited continent, so in most parts of Australia water is a very precious resource. Much of the land has poor soil, with only 6 per cent suitable for agriculture. The dry inland areas are called ‘the Australia is one of the world’s oldest land masses. outback’. There is great respect for people who live and work in these remote and harsh environments. Many of It is the sixth largest country in the world. them have become part of Australian folklore. Because Australia is such a large country, the climate varies in different parts of the continent.

(University of NSW) B.D. (University of Sydney) Grad. Dip. Min. (Melbourne College of Divinity) School of Arts Faculty of Arts Griffith University A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2007 ABSTRACT The Anglican Church of Australia agreed to a national constitution in 1962. Yet at a national level it is hardly a cohesive body with a sense of unity and common purpose. Historically, Australian Anglicanism developed along regional lines, with the result that diocesan separateness rather than national unity became enshrined as a foundational principle of Anglicanism in Australia. This study questions this fundamental premise of the Anglican tradition in Australia. It argues (1) that it is not a true reflection of the Anglican ethos, both in its English origins and worldwide, and (2) that it prevents Anglicanism in Australia from embracing its national vocation. An alternative tradition has been present, in fact, within Australian Anglicanism from the beginning, although it has not been considered to be part of the mainstream. Bishop Broughton, the first Anglican bishop in Australia, was deeply sensitive to the colonial context in which the Anglican tradition was being planted, and he adapted it accordingly.

  • Governor-General Reproduction
    the resignation of the Family Drama and National governor-general Reproduction BARBARA BAIRD — Children on the national stage Peter Hollingworth resigned his position as Governor-General of Australia in May 2003 more than three years short of the term for which he had been appointed. His resignation came after nearly eighteen months of controversy over how he had handled cases of the sexual abuse of children while in his previous job as Archbishop of the Brisbane Diocese of the Anglican Church and the release of a report of a church inquiry which found him culpable. The Queensland Anglican inquiry was but one of many such inquiries during the period when the Hollingworth story was coming and going from Australian media and political agendas. Throughout that time, and in the period for some years before, and since, the issue of the abuse of children while in institutional care, past and present, has been a constant feature of public debate and inquiry. Notably, the Human Rights and Equal Opportunity Commission (HREOC) National Inquiry into the Separation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from their Families was the first national inquiry.1 Its report, Bringing Them Home, was released in 1997. There have been three other reports since.2 As well as these national reports into the care of children, there has been at least one (but often more) major inquiry and report into the care of children in every state and territory in Australia since Bringing Them Home.3 These inquiries have documented evidence of the often systematic abuse of children in the care of governments, in the care of Christian and other agencies, and in the care of foster families.
