    AMICUS JUNE 2020 Vol 48 No 2 Journal of the BSHS Past Students’ Association Inc. David H Phillips, Class of 1945, donated his original renderings of the Normal School and the “Red Brick Building” to the school on the occasion of the 75th Anniversary of Brisbane State High School in 1996. These watercolour versions were presented to Barry Irwin, BSHS 75th Anniversary Convenor. IMPORTANT NOTICE How can you help the BSHS PSA support the school? The printing and posting of AMICUS to past students is the PSA’s major annual expense. These funds would be better utilised for projects for the benefit of the school and students. In recent times, these projects have included: the contribution to the Innovation Studio the fitout of the school museum the maintenance and upgrading of the school museum the Premiership Honour Board the Legends Honour Board the PSA “Spirit of State High” trophy More could be done with your help! The digitising of all school magazines from 1921 to 2019, which will enable an online search function, may be our next project if we can minimise our printing and posting costs. In order to reduce this significant cost, the PSA Executive proposes to introduce the digital version of AMICUS to all PSA members. All past students who receive AMICUS via post are requested to advise their email address to: [email protected] to enable this proposal to be implemented. THANKS A sincere “thank you” to those past students who have: renewed their financial membership of the PSA commented favourably on recent AMICUS articles donated valuable memorabilia to the school museum.

  • 'No More Labour for the Knight: an Overview of Sir Jack Egerton's
    Johannah Bevis, ‘No more labour for the knight: An overview of Sir Jack Egerton’s leadership’ Centre for the Government of Queensland Summer Scholar Journal , 3, 2012-13. Sir John (Jack) Alfred Roy Egerton was a formidable figure within the Queensland Labour Movement from the 1950s through to the 1970s. Better known as Jack Egerton, he is described by political historian, Ross Fitzgerald, as ‘one of the most colourful and influential characters in the history of the Labor Party in Queensland’.1 Egerton was an active member of the Queensland and Australian trade union and labour movement in various capacities; he became State Secretary of the Boilermakers Society in 1943, and then served in contemporaneous roles as President of the Queensland Trades and Labour Council (QTLC) from 1967 to 1976 and as President of the ALP Queensland Central Executive (QCE) from 1968 to 1976.2 Yet his leadership in these roles has largely been overshadowed by the knighthood he received in the latter part of his career. Through his dual positions, Egerton increased the influence of the QTLC within the Queensland ALP, which gained him credibility and clout on a federal level as an ALP powerbroker. Over time he created a culture of leadership within the Queensland ALP that seemed unable to relate to an increasing diversity within its membership. Further, his career raised doubts over how much control an individual should accrue through simultaneous political positions. This paper first covers Egerton’s notorious ennoblement, before briefly detailing his background growing up in rural Queensland and his early career as a boilermaker.

When researching for this thesis I found I had considerable trouble in obtaining access to some Right-wing sources. Not only were many of them reluctant to discuss their past activities but invariably no files of source material, records, correspond­ ence, minutes etc. were kept. Fortunately Leftist sources ranging from the Labor Party and the trade unions to the Communist Party, were more confident of their historical import­ ance, but the fire bombing of the Communist Party headquarters some years ago destroyed all of their remaining past office files containing correspondence, records etc.

  • Nationalist Rhetoric in Australia and New Zealand in the Twentieth Century: the Limits of Divergence
    Nationalist Rhetoric in Australia and New Zealand in the Twentieth Century: The limits of divergence Jack Alexander Henry Doig Bachelor of Arts Post-Graduate Diploma History Graduate Diploma Education Masters in International Studies A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 History, Philosophy, Religious Studies and Classics i Abstract This thesis analyses the nationalist rhetoric of successive Australian and New Zealand governments over the twentieth century. It uses political rhetoric to analyse the way that ideas about race, Empire and geopolitical identities were invoked, transformed and discarded in Australia and New Zealand. Each chapter in this thesis is a case study of an event that caused the two governments to articulate visions of Australia and New Zealand and their place in the world. It draws upon transnational and comparative historiography dealing with Australia and New Zealand, as well as scholarship seeking to understand nationalism and geopolitics. It uses these theoretical frameworks to explain the resilience and then rapid decline of British settler nationalism in Australia and New Zealand and analyse the post-British nationalisms that took its place. This thesis begins at a time when Britishness pervaded most aspects of nationalist rhetoric in Australia and New Zealand, and it ends in 1990 where governments adopted explicitly post- British post-racial national identities. It explains this transformation by analysing a series of case studies through the twentieth century that illustrate the decline of the British Empire and the attempts by governments in Australia and New Zealand to define a new place for themselves within the world.

Twenty-eight histories have been identified, with two appearing since 2007 and another due in 2010. For inclusion in this survey, a ‘history of Queensland’ must logically: 1) take an overview of Queensland’s history bringing that story more or less up to the time of writing; 2) cover a range of social, political, cultural and economic elements, and show how conditions, at time of writing, evolved; 3) have some narrative rather than simply dates, incidents, statistics, anecdotes, biographies etc; 4) use some original material and/or analysis rather than merely reiterate/precis earlier histories; and 5) be primarily about Queensland rather than about Australia, albeit including Queensland. These criteria have been applied without judgement about quality of writing or depth of analysis, although observations are drawn. Inclusion does not imply ‘good’ work, nor does exclusion imply ‘bad’ work.
