Key Centre for Ethics Law Justice & Governance Griffith University June 2003 [This post-examination version: November 2003] The Frozen Continent The fall and rise of territory in Australian constitutional thought 1815-2003 A. J. Brown PhD Thesis Key Centre for Ethics Law Justice & Governance Griffith University, June 2003 Through the late 20th century, global society experienced waves of unprecedented political and institutional change, but Australia came to be identified as "constitutionally speaking… the frozen continent", unable or unprepared to comprehensively modernise its own fundamental laws (Sawer 1967). This thesis opens up a subject basic to, but largely unexplored in debate about constitutional change: the territorial foundations of Australian constitutional thought. Our conventional conclusions about territory are first, that Australia's federal system has settled around a 'natural' and presumably final territorial structure; and second, that this is because any federal system such as possessed by Australia since 1901 is more decentralised and therefore more suitable than any 'unitary' one. -

Notes on the Political History Of^^^ Queensland—1859-1917. CHARLES A, BERNAYS, Clerk-Assistant and Scrgeant-At-Arms, Legislative Assembly
18o /,' :• { ^ V. LIBRARY Notes on the Political History of^^^ Queensland—1859-1917. CHARLES A, BERNAYS, Clerk-Assistant and Scrgeant-at-Arms, Legislative Assembly. WHEN asked by the Historical Society to contribute a paper on the Political History of Queensland I already had in view the amplification of an article written by me in August, 1909, for the Jubilee number of the "Queenslander," Owing to the necessity for economising space, there was not much opportunity then of doing justice to a subject which is of interest to a considerable section of the community. It is hoped that this paper may serve the dual purpose of interesting honourable members of the Legislature and forming an historical basis upon which others can build at a later date. The work has been much more laborious and has involved more research than would appear at first sight, and on that account, and because it was undertaken during the Parliamentary session, I feel justified in asking for tolerant criticism. This paper is intended to be, and I hope will be, a dispassionate review of Queensland's chief political events, and of the principal men who have devoted their energies to the government of this part of Australia. I have been too long a servant of Parliament not to recognise the importance of the strictest impartiality. The whole of that vast territory north of Point Danger and formerly attached to New South "Wales, representing an area of 668,497 square miles, or ten times that of England and Wales, was erected into a separate colony under the designation of "Queen.sland" on the 10th December, 1859, and many of you will know that prior to Federation the anniversary of separation was probably our chief public holiday. -
