BAIN, 47th Annual Report OF THE COUNCIL OF THE *0^« * *I1 _ A Agricultural & Industrial Roy l IatUonal Association of Queensland for the Year, 1922. LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, In submitting to you their 47th Annual Report and Financial Statement, yuor Council have pleasure in referring to the year 1922 as one of the brightest in our history. Glorious sunshine favoured our efforts on every day of the Show week, and undoubtedly had the effect of bringing to us a record attend- ance of spectators, and keeping them in good humour whilst there, aided and abetted by the all round excellence of the Exhibition. The attendance, which was estimated at over 250,000 was the best ever recorded, and the gate receipts, amounting to £11,592, exceed by £218, the amount collected in 1920, when the Prince of Wales opened the Show. Before referring to the satisfactory conditions under which we finished this year's transactions, we would remind Members that the current financial year which terminated on 30th September, covers only 9 months operations. Some time ago your Council decided to recom- mend this change of date, and at a Special General Meeting of Members, held on 15th June, 1922, the recommendation was unanimously adopted. This alteration allows of dealing only with 9 months' figures in this report. The total receipts of the Association for the 9 months, 1st January to 30th September, were £24,074 Os. Id., as against £23,331 9s. 2d. for the whole twelve months of the previous year. In addition to this revenue, our balance sheet shows the sum of £286 2s. 6d. owing for overdue Mem- bership Subscriptions, with a further sum of £521 17s. 9d., due for space rents and other privileges. Our Credit Balance at the Commonwealth Bank is £3,537 Os. 10d., as compared with a Credit of £405 13s. 3d. on 31st December, 1921. As illustrating the phenomenal progress of the Association, it will interest members to know that the gate receipts in 1915 were £5,169, in 1916, £5,341; in 1918, £6,626 (no Show was held in 1919); £11,373 in 1920 (Prince's year); £9,548 in 1921, and £11,592 this year. Throughout the year, the efforts of your Council to encourage and stimulate production from the soil, the breeding of live stock, and the fostering of manufacturing industries was carried out with undiminished zeal, and in this effort we were ably seconded by Exhibitors and Donors of Special Prizes, who gave most loyal support. The marvellous productivity of Queensland soil is admitted, and at our 47th Annual Show, examples of all the wonderful primary resouresu of our State were submitted. - V : s0oo.d ietAI.tu aibibiesd, a u g*r d rydttrhad-to ItseB "a " nli~ous cenrk in which. was shown ane of every esription. Large pihotographs of the field and -mill work connected with the production of Sugar were shown, and well displayed statistical panels conveyed to visitors informative figures relating to the industry. A small cane .,rushing plant and chemisal laboratory demonstrated how the value of cane-is arrived at, and samples of sugar in various stages of manufacture were on view, the whole exhibit presenting an object lesson, the value of which is .impossible to compute. c6TTON: No industry loomed larger in the public eye this year than the production of Cotton, and every effort was made by your Council to demonstrate its worth to agriculturalists. In the Government Farms Court gn educative as well as an artistic .display was made, wherein was shown Cotton in the seed, and cotton ginned. The value of the seed for oil production, for concentrated fodder, and for other purposes, was also illustrated. Other displays of Cotton were staged in the District Courts, and a very fine show from the Dawson Valley was exhibited by representatives of that district. In our Live Stock Reserve, was erected Sa special structure in which was installed two "Ginning" plants, capable of treating either long or short staple varieties of the product, worked by electrically driven machinery, hich we installed at consider- able expense, but we were gratified to observe how interesting and attractive this section of the Show proved to be throughout the whole week.. The Hon. W. N. Gillies, Minister for Agriculture, furnished us with 1b,000 leaflets containing terse reference to the worth of Cotton as an industry. That few of the leaflets were left at the end of the 1' week is sufficient argument that visitors, generally, were interested in S*_ the possibilities of this new-old industry. To the Hon. W. N. Gillies, Minister for Agriculture, we were indebted for the loan of experts to work the machines, and to Mr. Dan Jones for expert advice which largely assisted to make the demonstration a success. It was authoritatively stated, during the week, that 9,000 acres were already under Cotton, in SQueensland, and that .upwards of 10,000 would be planted next year. Dairy i' farmers were assured that cotton growing could be made a golden side line to their present business. (i '" GOVERNMENT EXHIBITS: The products of the Government Farms were as attractive to the casual observer as to the man on the land, or to S the farm student seeking education. Information of every sort was at the disposal of the enquirer, and the arrangement of the exhibits was the most artistic that we have yet seen 'made by the Depart- r ': ment's Officials. They were deserving of every credit for the display, .y and for their handling of the many seekers after information with whom they. were surrounded throughout the week. FORESTRY DISPLAY: Adjoining the above display was that of 5t the Forestry Department, in which was shown every class of timber grown in our.State-shown in the raw state and in highly finished con- ddition, illustrating how the timbers could be used for furniture, as well as for building purposes. The efforts of the Officials were not confined f,, to the purely educational. In one corner was arranged a scene repre- senting the natural forest with the timber getter's hut, his camp fire, i'^ and other requirements. To the town bred visitors, who have never seen this phase of the industry in real life, the tableau waa very attractive. Samples of our timbers converted into walking sticks, fish- - ing rods, billiard cues, furniture of every description, bent woods and carriage and coach work material, made up a show of which the Depart- >,. ment has every reason to feel proud, and one which was of undoubted eduoational worth. &fIiitl~~t~&I :. " • , 8 TIE TOURIST & INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT, as usual, di- tributed literature relating tq Queensland lands, conveying information of how to acquire land, and how to reach our principal tourist resorts and places of interest. Much literature was distributed, which we sincerely trust will bear fruit. MANUFACTURES: Locally manufactured goods were in great display, and would have been even greater had earlier appli- cation been made by those manufacturers who, unfortunately, applied after all space had been allocated. In connection with our next year's Show, representatives of your Association will wait upon manufacturers on an earlier period, and it is hoped by this, and other means, to en- courage displaye of our secondary products infinitely better than we have hitherto seen in Brisbane. MACHINERY: The Machinery exhibits were undoubtedly the best seen on our Grounds since 1914, and we have been notified that an even greater area will be required for this section next year. DISTRICT AND ONE FARM EXHIBITS: "If I want to win, I know that I must come along next year with a show 25 per cent. better than this year's," said a District Exhibit organiser when judging had been completed, on Manday afternoon. This expression eloquently demonstrates the excellence of the District and One Farm displays as compared with previous years. The various organisers recognise that each year their exhibits have to be better. This year, the superior quality of the exhibits, the staging, ticketing, and general display was gratifying to your Council, and pleasing to observant visitors.

  • Abolition of the Upper House Community Engagement – Updated 27 March 2001
    Abolition of the Upper House Community Engagement – Updated 27 March 2001 THE ABOLITION OF THE UPPER HOUSE IN QUEENSLAND INTRODUCTION Unicameral legislatures, or legislatures with only one chamber, are uncommon in democracies. It is usually considered that two chambers are necessary for government, and this is the case for the United Kingdom, Canada (at the Federal level) and the United States (Federally, and for all states except Nebraska.) However, some countries, usually small ones, are unicameral. Israel, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, Sweden, and Greece have only one chamber. All the Canadian Provinces, all the Malaysian States and some of the Indian ones, including Assam, are unicameral. Other single-chambered legislatures in the Commonwealth include New Zealand, Ghana, Cyprus, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Malta, Malawi, Zambia, Gambia, Guyana, Singapore, Botswana, Zimbabwe and (Western) Samoa. In Australia, the Federal Government has two chambers, as do the governments of all the states, except Queensland. At its separation from New South Wales in 1859, Queensland had two houses of Parliament, the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council. But in a move unique in Australian history, the Legislative Council abolished itself. EARLY DAYS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, 1860-1890 Queensland, separated from New South Wales in 1859, was the only colony to have a Parliament from its inception. When the Parliament of Queensland was first promulgated in 1860, there were two houses of Parliament. The first members of the Upper House, the Legislative Council, were appointed for five years by the Governor of New South Wales, so that Queensland would not be left permanently with nominees from the Governor of another colony.

Greig Crysler Professor Eugene F. Irschick Spring 2012 Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Copyright 2012 by Cecilia Louise Chu 1 Abstract Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Cecilia Louise Chu Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair This dissertation traces the genealogy of property development and emergence of an urban milieu in Hong Kong between the 1870s and mid 1930s. This is a period that saw the transition of colonial rule from one that relied heavily on coercion to one that was increasingly “civil,” in the sense that a growing number of native Chinese came to willingly abide by, if not whole-heartedly accept, the rules and regulations of the colonial state whilst becoming more assertive in exercising their rights under the rule of law. Long hailed for its laissez-faire credentials and market freedom, Hong Kong offers a unique context to study what I call “speculative urbanism,” wherein the colonial government’s heavy reliance on generating revenue from private property supported a lucrative housing market that enriched a large number of native property owners. Although resenting the discrimination they encountered in the colonial territory, they were able to accumulate economic and social capital by working within and around the colonial regulatory system.

  • Augustine Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland, 1907-1916
    3.0 Those who Set the Stage 3.1 Those concerned with Home Rule (for and against) 3.1.2 Augustine Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland, 1907-1916 Birrell contributed indirectly to the Rising by failing (together with Asquith) to confront the Ulster unionists and by failing to take action against the republicans planning the Rising. Augustine Birrell (1850-1933) was from Liverpool. His father was a Baptist minister and his maternal grandfather a Free Church of Scotland minister; in later life he became an agnostic, but maintained a Liberal nonconformist outlook. A legacy enabled him to study law at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, following which he practiced as a barrister and gained recognition as an essayist and literary critic of distinction. Elected as the Liberal MP for West Fife in 1889, he served as a minister under Campbell-Bannerman, becoming Chief Secretary for Ireland in 1907, an office which he held until May 1916 when he resigned under a cloud in the aftermath of the Rising. The Chief Secretary was the official responsible for formulating and administering government policy in Ireland. Birrell was one of the most humane, committed and productive ministers ever to hold the office. He was well disposed towards nationalist Ireland, his ultimate objective being Home Rule. In the meantime, he had a total of fifty-six pieces of largely beneficial legislation enacted. These included acts for the establishment of the National University of Ireland and Queen’s University Belfast, and the 1909 Land Act, which accelerated the purchase of land by tenants and reduced agrarian strife.

  • Environmental Water Management in the Fitzroy River Valley Information Availability, Knowledge Gaps and Research Needs
    Environmental Water Management in the Fitzroy River Valley Information availability, knowledge gaps and research needs Bradley J. Pusey The University of Western Australia & Jarrod Kath Western Australian Department of Water i Executive Summary The Fitzroy River is the largest river in the Kimberley region of Western Australia and contains significant biological, conservation and geoheritage values. Socio/cultural values, especially Indigenous values, are significant also but are not considered here. Current land use is dominated by rangeland grazing and very limited irrigated agriculture. The water resources of the basin are significant and potentially available for expanded agricultural development but the impact on the environment of increased water use, especially of groundwater is largely unknown. The current report addresses the availability of information that could be used to guide the formation and implementation of management strategies aimed at maintaining existing values. Currently available information useful in this regard is highly limited. Moreover, available information was found to be rarely in a form (i.e. quantitative relationships between flow and environmental factors) that would enable a full assessment of the impacts of different water resource use scenarios to be undertaken. Similarly, there is limited information that could provide the basis for ongoing assessment (i.e. monitoring) of the efficacy of any imposed water management strategies. Significant knowledge gaps were identified relating to five major themes: 1. The nature of aquatic habitats in the basin and their relationship to the flow regime and groundwater and including identity, extent and distribution, connectivity and conservation value; 2. Responses of riparian, floodplain and groundwater dependent vegetation to changes in water regime; 3.
