  • 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
    9. The slide towards uncertainty, 1969–1972 The Parliament resumed after a break of seven and a half months—a relatively long intermission but by no means unusual in those days. When an election was due in the new year (from March to June), it was common practice for the Parliament to adjourn in late November or early December (before Christmas) and to not reconvene for another six to eight months. This was the pattern followed throughout the 1940s to the mid-1950s and again from 1962 to 1972. The thirty-ninth Parliament would run from 5 August 1969 to 10 December 1971 (202 sitting days in the three-year term or 67 days a year) and not meet again before the May 1972 election. It was the last Parliament to meet with 78 members and, for the first time since winning government, the Coalition governed with a reduced majority. Under Nicklin, the Coalition’s majority had risen from nine in 1957 to 10 in 1960, to 14 in 1963 and 16 in 1966, but fell back to just 12 after the 1969 election—Bjelke-Petersen’s first electoral test as leader. With the benefit of hindsight, it is clear the 1969–72 Parliament was to become Labor’s high-water mark in its period in opposition, when for a few years it posed a credible challenge to the government. It was also a period when the Premier was at his most vulnerable politically—a condition deeply troubling to his own party colleagues, who would eventually be incited to rebel against his leadership.

  • Address for Annual Presentation Night at Mansfield State High School, 7.30 Pm, Tuesday, 19 October 2004
    ADDRESS FOR ANNUAL PRESENTATION NIGHT AT MANSFIELD STATE HIGH SCHOOL, 7.30 PM, TUESDAY, 19 OCTOBER 2004 Evenings like this, which celebrate the achievement of the school and the school community, its cultural and sporting groups and the excellence and success attained by individual students, generate a contagious excitement and energy, making the evening a buzz for everyone associated with it. Thank you for inviting me. It has been a privilege already to meet some of your students, teachers and parents. I look forward to meeting more of you later tonight. When I address school-centred groups like this, I enjoy researching a little of the school's history and ethos to learn about the audience with whom I hope to engage. Mansfield State High School takes its title from the suburb, Mansfield, after Sir Alan Mansfield, a name familiar to lawyers because he was a former Chief Justice of Queensland. My only memories of him are that when I was a school girl, he was the Governor of Queensland, a role to which he was appointed in March 1966. I have since learned that in his adult years, he lived on a 25 acre Mount Gravatt property called "Fresh Fields". Those who knew him said "Fresh Fields" summed up his attitude to life. This school, appropriately for a progressive educational institution, can be said to be, at least figuratively, built on Alan Mansfield's "Fresh Fields". Alan Mansfield was born at Indooroopilly on 30 September 1902. He came from a distinguished legal family. His father was a District Court judge in Queensland and his great-great-grandfather had been the Chief Justice of Common Pleas in England.

After they have spoken we will give them a chance to respond to each other and then there will be an opening for questions and comments from the floor. We have a roving mike and Andrew, who is sitting at the back, will move through the audience with that. When all questions and comments are exhausted I have great pleasure to invite you to the Strangers Bar for a cash bar and free supper. At the end of this evening's proceedings Damon Blake, our Treasurer, will have a little word to say, a little commercial, about membership. I would like to start by saying that the Queensland Chapter of the Australasian Study of Parliament Group was the last chapter in Australasia to be founded in 1993 under the auspices of the Honourable Mr Speaker Fouras.

  • 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.

Labor, in office for all but three years between 1915 and 1957, set a powerful example of authoritari- Geoffrey Bolton anism. From Labor, the Country Party (later the Nationals) inherited a rurally biased gerrymander, which kept them in power.
