Run Report VD 100619 Run Report 2171 VD This Run was notable in having 17 Runners. They were drawn in by the Hare’s promise of a short Run, around 4k he thought. So, off they went! The final Runner, MADEMOISELLE LATRINE was arriving back as the rest of the pack had been fed, watered, entertained and were repairing to their transportation at around 9.15! He offered to pay for his meal but was excused. Other Runners returned at various times, most recording at least 9k on their high tech equipment. In these days and nights of electronics you can’t fool anyone VD. However VD worked tirelessly to produce an exceptional 3 course meal, two hot dishes followed by an outstanding dessert in my opinion. Others had different views, possibly jaundiced by their Run experience. Brutus enjoying his entree After the meal there was a flurry of table washing by Brutus, chair collection and places secured in the Circle. RUN: Skyhook saw tennis courts and a soccer oval and thought he was Home until advised that these were not the right ones and to keep running for another 5k. CIRCUMFERENCE had a cutting comment. VD came forward to defend himself and explained that the computer on his bike - BIKE?? had failed at 4.5k which led him to make a judgement on distance even though he was only halfway through setting the Run at that point. Down Down deserved! Not rated. WALK: SHAT explained that SIR RABBIT AND FERRET got lost but that it was a wonderful Walk. NOSH: MISCARRIAGE muttered that he had no food due to his late return from the 4k Run and complained about his bad back. EXELPET was particularly taken with the dessert with fresh strawberries and rated at Nice followed by Very Nice and 8.5/10. Other Down Downs: Returning Runners/Visitors: A cast of thousands due to MISCARRIAGE having his Birthday over the weekend. Mr. Lee, Sophea, Mary from Cambodia, Paul from Melbourne, Alice from Chang Mai via South London and his uncle/father in law/grandfather Ringmaster who may be one of us. MISCARRIAGE & MAD MIKE celebrating birthdays SWINDLER, celebrating 200 Runs RA Report: RA replacement SWEATHOG - SPV is indisposed, told us that SIR TWO DOGS was pushed to the front of the running Pack to protect against Wild Dogs, that Aussie pushed him off his stool at Choir Practice in Main Beach on Friday evening to get a better view of a young lady scratching her Fanny Charmer. He also explained that the riot in Hong Kong at the weekend of 1 million was 150 short as they were at MISCARRIAGE’S party. He finished with some jokes, one about acne and priests which does not bear repeating in print in these Twitter times. POW: Current awardee FOXTROT discussed a NZ $5 note that was placed in the honesty bucket last week. Who could have done this dastardly deed? He decided it was SIR SLAB who did not deny and accepted the Purple Prick. Acting RA. SWEATHOG came up with another story about an old lady that he helped with her balance. GM. ICEMAN announced a theatre evening to see the Addams Family in September. More on this later in the year. The Hash Choir burst into song in a rousing rendition of our Song. Getting better boys! And that was it for another week. Too much fun! Important reading - new standards and opportunities Nosh Notes For Hares who want to offer a worthwhile meal Think through ways to provide a worthwhile Nosh for your fellow Hashmen. At a minimum: • Starter – minimum crisps, cheese and biscuits or dip, etc • Main – To include basics of: Protein – meat or fish of some kind Vegetables – salad or similar Carbohydrate – pasta, potato, rice, bread roll (wholemeal preferred) or similar • Dessert – Minimum of wrapped chocolate biscuit, simple ice pole, fruit & ice cream or similar • PorKon control – with growing pack numbers it is criKcal that porKon sizes are managed carefully to ensure everyone gets a serve, so arrange for a helper or two to serve TradiKonally your commiMee has allowed $5 per head for this. We realise Kmes are changing and now offer: • Guaranteed minimum for up to 30 diners - $150 - just produce your dockets to jusKfy this. • If you feel you are going to aMract more than 30, or plan something special, discuss this with Hash Cash in order to maintain standards and keep costs in control Trailer Be sure to tell Truck Tyres your requirements, with details of the site, access, power and lighKng, etc. Speak to him at least A WEEK BEFORE your run, and then BE CERTAIN TO REMIND him a day or two prior. Your 2019 Brilliant Knights CommiMee History - Pizzey Park The Pizzey Park sporting complex was established on a 26 hectares (64 acres) site in 1969.

  • The Ayes Have It: the History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    7. The Pizzey–Chalk interlude, 1968 With the retirement of Frank Nicklin as Premier in January 1968, the Queensland Parliament entered a period of turbulence and uncertainty. Nicklin had been the leader of the Country Party continuously since June 1941, accumulating a total of 26.5 years at the helm. He had been Premier for 10.5 years and had governed the state competently and conscientiously. He had stamped his own personal integrity and probity on the character of the government and had quietly maintained a guiding hand over the cabinet and party room. In the Parliament, he was uniformly held in high regard not only by his own Country Party colleagues but by his Coalition partners and members of the opposition. He had maintained a sense of decency in the Assembly that was recognised by friend and foe alike. At the time of his retirement, Nicklin had attained many parliamentary achievements, not the least of which was the general acceptance of the Coalition parties as the natural parties of government. He had also, perhaps more conscientiously, sustained the Country Party as the dominant party in the Coalition despite consistently polling fewer votes than the largely urban-based Liberal Party. Nicklin’s retirement at seventy-two years of age was not exactly a surprise; it had been expected for some time. His health and energy were waning and he had spent some weeks in hospital during the final months of his record- breaking premiership. It was widely believed that Nicklin had hung on to the job for so long simply to beat the previous record of Labor’s Forgan Smith as the longest-serving premier (Forgan Smith had served 10 years and three months).

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    14 . The demise of the Coalition and the Nationals governing alone, 1981–1983 In 1980, backroom plans had been already entertained for a stand-alone National Party government supplemented by a few Liberal ‘ministerialists’— opportunists who would cross over and side with whatever the next ministry turned out to be in order to remain part of the next government. Historically, ‘ministerialists’ were typically senior parliamentarians who, forgoing party loyalties, decided to collaborate as individuals in the formulation of a new government. After the 1980 election, however, any such musing was put on hold as the two conservative parties lapsed back into coalition. This time, the Nationals clearly imposed their dominance, taking the prime portfolios and consigning the ‘leftovers’ to the Liberals. Labor began to refer to the junior partners as ‘Dr Edwards and his shattered Liberal team’—the losers who were ‘now completely the captive of the National Party’ (QPD 1981:vol. 283, p. 7). Despite his vitriolic attacks against the Premier and the National-led government, Llew Edwards retained his position as Deputy Premier and Treasurer—positions he would keep until he was deposed by Terry White on the eve of the Coalition collapse in August 1983, although there was an unsuccessful attempt by dissident Liberals to remove Edwards in November 1981. When the Premier learned about the dissident Liberal plan to topple Edwards, with Angus Innes taking the lead, he declared Innes an ‘anti-coalitionist’ and someone with whom he would not work. Instead, Bjelke-Petersen began hatching plans to form a minority government with whomsoever among the Liberals who would give him support; and then to govern alone until mid-1982.

J. H. Warner, Toowoomba South) read prayers and took the chair at 11 a.m. PRIVILEGE Appointment of Member for Mount Gravatt to the Council of Griffith University Mr CASEY (Mackay) (11.1 a.m.): I rise on a point of privilege in accordance with Standing Order No. 46 of this House, which clearly states— "An urgent Motion, directly concerning the privileges of the House, shall take precedence of other Motions as well as of Orders of the Day." Mr Speaker, I draw your attention to the Queensland Government Gazette of 19 January 1985 Sir Joh Bjelke-Petersen interjected. Mr SPEAKER: Order! I recognise the member for Mackay. Mr CASEY: Thank you, Mr Speaker. I draw your attention to the Queensland Government Gazette of 19 January of this year, No. 18, at page 151, a copy of which I now table. Whereupon the honourable member laid the document on the table. In that Government Gazette, it will be seen that Ian Henderson, MLA, was appointed by the Governor in Council, to the Council of the Griffith University in pursuance of the provisions of section 8 (1) (g) of the Griffith University Act. Mr Speaker, I further draw your attention to section 8 (1) (g) of that Act, which simply states— "six members appointed by the Governor in Council" That is unlike the provision in the University of Queensland Act, which deliberately specifies that two members of the Legislative Assembly may be members of the Senate of the University of Queensland.

  • First Placegetters in the Queensland Scholarship Examination 1873-1962
    Promising lives: First placegetters in the Queensland Scholarship examination 1873-1962 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics at the University of Queensland in December 2006. Marion Elizabeth Mackenzie BA, BSW, PGDip(Arts) Statement of originality I certify that this thesis is original and my own work, except where the work of others is quoted and acknowledged as such in the text. This material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. Abstract The Scholarship was an external examination held at the end of primary school when students were generally aged thirteen or fourteen. It dominated Queensland education for ninety years from 1873 until 1962. For much of that period, passing the examination was the only opportunity for most children to enter secondary education. It was at first a competitive examination for limited places in the early grammar schools, and later a qualifying examination for entrance to any secondary school. The principal focus of this thesis is the early promise displayed by 186 young Queenslanders who were ranked first in the state in the examination. It draws conclusions about the impact of education on individuals and society through longitudinal research, by examining the influence of family, school, community attitudes, world events and personal choices on the outcomes for those successful students. It investigates how early success was translated into their later lives, how they dealt with the opportunities and barriers they encountered, whether females and males had different outcomes, and in what ways they differed from their peers.

  • Frank Nicklin and the Coalition Government, 1957-1968
    401 Frank Nicklin and the Coalition Government, 1957-1968 by Brian Stevenson Presented to a meeting of the Societi;, 27 April, 1989 Coalition governments are Queensland's political past and future. As the three major parties prepare for the 1989 state elections, none of them has a strong chance of winning government in their own right. If no party wins the numbers to govern alone, a conservative coalition government seems the most likely outcome if Queensland is not to enter an Itahan-style era of unstable administrations, minority governments and frequent elections. This paper examines the coalition governments that ruled Queensland during the most tranquil decade of its recent political history — the Nicklin governments of 1957 to 1968. It concentrates on the relationship between the two conservative parties during Frank Nicklin's stewardship. Many times, Nicklin and his calming influence would prove the most important element in keeping the relationship on an even keel. When he came to power in 1957 after the Labor split, Nicklin, although the most senior member of the government side, had had no experience in government. He was elected to Parliament on the day in 1932 when the conservative coalition of Arthur Moore was defeated at the polls. But Nicklin, as well as having seen the disastrous results to the Labour party when it failed to suppress the discord within its ranks, had experienced the full frustrating and erratic history of coalition co-operation during a quarter of a century in opposition. The conservative coalition forged by Arthur Moore under the label Country-Progressive Nationalist Party (CPNP) lasted one term in opposition, but after they were annihilated at the polls in 1935, disintegration was swift.

  • The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    8. The early Bjelke-Petersen years, 1968-1969 The ‘swinging Sixties’ was a time of cultural change and challenge to the Establishment. Political protests and popular dissent took on a generational schism; social movements and mass demonstrations were inflamed by a distrust of government and a resistance to conscription and the Vietnam War. The ‘New Left’ was on the rise in university campuses. Student liberation seemed a potent force. ‘Drop-outs’ were in; hippies and flower power spread across the globe; and the drug culture and rock music became palliatives to the disenchanted. Assertive slogans came to symbolise a new generation: ‘do it’, ‘free love’, ‘peace’, ‘make love, not war’. Meanwhile, in 1968, Czechoslovakia had been invaded by the Soviets, Paris was in turmoil with strikes and student protests, the Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King, jr, had been assassinated and the Americans were preparing to land on the Moon. Pop songs plugged away at the themes of revolution, street-fighting men, the Age of Aquarius and emphasising the ‘times they are-a-changing’. If Australia was somewhat shielded from the extremes of the 1960s, a postwar generation had now enjoyed full employment and come to expect a high standard of living as a right. The home, the Holden car and the Hills hoist were among life’s little staples. The children born in the years after the war formed a huge wave of ‘baby boomers’ who by this time were entering adulthood and exercising their political expression and numerical strength. In the social uncertainty and political turmoil of the late 1960s, Queensland appointed an abstemious, god-fearing Lutheran to lead the state into the 1970s.
