HOOPER (Buranda) asked the Minister for Development, Mines, and Main Roads- " Will he confirm that the projected development of Kianga Open Cut by Thiess Brothers will be for export trade only and that no local trade will be granted by the transfer of quota from an existing mine or mines or otherwise~" Hon. E. EV ANS (Mirani) replied- " The grant of Coal Mining Lease No. 105, Mount Morgan, on which the Kianga Open Cut is situated as well as the Coal Prospecting permission and the authority of the Queensland Coal Board to comrp.ence operations were all given subject to the condition that no coal from the area should be sold or offered for sale for use within Queensland without the prior written approval of the Coal Board.

Chapter 8 Collusion, Communism and Collapse: The AWU, the Groups and the destruction of Labor Hegemony in Queensland, 1948-1957 As the Labor Party and the AWU entered the second half of 1948 an atmosphere of tension and uncertainty was pervasive. The Hanlon Labor Government had 'successfully' concluded the railway dispute but at a potentially enormous cost to the Party's electoral future having employed repressive legislation characterised by intimidation and violence against the strikers. For an aging Clarrie Fallon and his mighty union, its dominance remained, although there were signs that even this influence may come under some challenge as forces on both the Left and the Right of Queensland's 282 labour movement were making inroads into the Party machinery once almost exclusiveh the realm of the AWU. Although still boasting an enormous membership, the AWU had to begin to reassess its industrial and political status in an economy that was slowK developing a manufacturing industry in the post-War period. The AWU-PLP clique that still dominated Labor in Queensland politics needed to devise a strategy whereby it could confront and defeat the Communist Party and its trade union officials whilst regaining the trust of traditional supporters of Labor in Queensland.

  • 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.

Typeset, printed & bound by Southwood Press Pty Limited 80-92 Chapel Street, Marrickville, NSW For the publisher Sydney University Law School Phillip Street, Sydney ISBN 0 909777 22 5 Preface 1990 marks the Centenary of the Law School. Technically the Centenary of the Faculty of Law occurred in 1957, 100 years after the Faculty was formally established by the new University. In that sense, Sydney joins Melbourne as the two oldest law faculties in Australia. But, even less than the law itself, a law school is not just words on paper; it is people relating to each other, students and their teachers. Effectively the Faculty began its teaching existence in 1890. In that year the first full time Professor, Pitt Cobbett was appointed. Thus, and appropriately, the Law School celebrated its centenary in 1990, 33 years after the Faculty might have done. In addition to a formal structure, a law school needs a substantial one, stone, bricks and mortar in better architectural days, but if pressed to it, pre-stressed concrete. In its first century, as these chapters recount, the School was rather peripatetic — as if on circuit around Phillip Street.

Whereupon the paper and photographs were laid upon the table of the House. QUESTIONS NEW GOLF COURSE LEASE, TOWNSVILLE.­ Mr. Aikens, pursuant to notice, asked The Minister for Lands,- ( 1) In reply to Questions in this House, did he state that some months ago a large area of the Town Common at Townsville had been leased to a Golf Club for a very small rental? (2) Has his attention been drawn to an advertisement appearing in the Townsville Daily Bulletin of August 17, asking persons interested in the formation of a "Second Golf Club" in Townsville to attend a public meeting to be held in the Town Hall on September 14 next? (3) If so, will he consider alienating other large areas of Crown land on the assumption that some organisation or club will be formed in the future to assume the responsibility of such alienation? Answer:- ( 1 to 3) "In answer to the Honourable Member's Question, the situation, stripped of all colour which the Honourable Member has attempted to lend to this transaction, is simply that the negotiations for the proposed new golf course lease were carried out with my department by the North Queensland Golf Association.
