    The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989

    6. The oppositional parties in the Parliament, 1957–1968 Parliamentary opposition to the Nicklin government came from a host of diverse players in the decade between August 1957 and January 1968. Especially after the Labor split of 1957, opponents of the Coalition government were a dispirited and dishevelled band, most of whom appeared as individualistic dissidents. Each had their own particular fights to fight and wars to wage. Each had different enemies in sight. Labor’s Jack Duggan and the QLP’s Ted Walsh never spoke to each other again privately after the split, despite afterwards sitting together in the Assembly for more than a decade, and frequently interjecting against each other. Adversarialism was not only a matter of formal battlelines drawn across the Chamber. Indeed, some of the most intense acrimony was found within the oppositional groups among remaining members who survived the 1957 split. If occasional internal conflicts simmered through the government side of politics, they at least demonstrated the capacity to remain in office while enjoying the comforts and trappings of power. The circumstance of being in government was sufficient to instil a collective solidarity between the Coalition parties, which was evident most strongly in the ministry. In contrast, the oppositional members were far more fragmented and querulous. They demonstrated little prospect of ever forming a single cohesive opposition. Indeed, after only one term in government, the Liberals were describing Labor as the weakest opposition in Queensland’s political history. Only towards the mid-1960s did the Labor opposition gradually develop any coherence and commitment of purpose.

This has required public agencies to lead and direct the creation of new technological opportunities and innovations. The predictable response from bureaucrats and politicians steeped in economic liberalism (that industry policy is not an appropriate instrument of public policy) must face rebuttal as both economically ill-informed and unjustified by evidence. This paper provides an overview of the key issues exemplifying the development of industry policy in many of the advanced economies and draws an outline map of how they might be applied to the Queensland economy. Introduction The structure of the Queensland economy has changed significantly in the past decade. Manufacturing, as a component of Gross State Product, has declined from 10.4 per cent in 2004-5 to 7.2 per cent in 2014-5. The sector’s contribution to State employment has declined from 10 per cent to 7.2 per cent. Likewise, mining’s contribution to Gross State Product has fallen from a peak of 14.8 per cent in 2008-9 to 7.3 per cent in 2014-5 while its contribution to employment has increased only slightly from 2 per cent to 2.8 per cent.

She is highly regarded and respected by community, political and business leaders and understands the need for all stakeholders to work together to deliver the best outcome for customers.” Mr Thorburn added: “Australia has a world-class banking system and there is more we can do to be better for customers and demonstrate the role banks play for them, the broader community and the Australian economy. “We have also heard the message from customers and from the public, and the industry is serious about change. The appointment of Anna demonstrates our commitment to this.” Ms Bligh has more than 30 years’ experience in public service, initially with community organisations, before entering the Queensland Parliament in 1995.

    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).

  • Limp Election Campaign Launch Does Anna Bligh No Favours

    Limp Election Campaign Launch Does Anna Bligh No Favours

    Limp election campaign launch does Anna Bligh no favours • by:Steven Wardill • From:The Courier-Mail • February 20, 2012 12:01AM Yet the backdrop for Anna Bligh's first campaign contribution after her scheduled trip to see the Governor actually demonstrated Labor's weaknesses as much, if not more, than its strengths. The location was Ashgrove State School, where the "Keep Kate" team were blowing up balloons and painting signage in the pink hue Labor incumbent Kate Jones has chosen for her campaign. Labor's aim was to keep the Ashgrove electorate firmly in the forefront of voter's minds as the campaign for the March 24 election began in earnest. They wanted to sow seeds of doubt about the LNP's leadership by demonstrating just how hard they were fighting to retain the inner-western Brisbane seat. The aim was to continue pushing the issue of what happens in the event that the LNP wins but leader Campbell Newman loses Ashgrove. However, the Ashgrove campaign is also a graphic demonstration of the problem Labor has at this election. Jones is campaigning as "a local girl made good", not as a member of the Bligh Government. The Labor brand and Bligh herself are all but invisible amid the pink propaganda. This is not a campaign about winning an election with a positive agenda and a united team. It is about an individual candidate trying to separate herself from the baggage of her political brand. The contrast with Newman's launch could not have been more stark. He appeared at a golf club just a few kilometres away, with LNP candidates used as living cardboard cutouts behind the cameras.
  • The Queensland Election 2012: a Voters’ Firestorm

    The Queensland Election 2012: a Voters’ Firestorm

    THE QUEENSLAND ELECTION 2012: A VOTERS’ FIRESTORM I. BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS The official Latin Motto for the State of Queensland is “Audax At Fidelis”, translated as “Bold But Faithful.” Both concepts were severely tested and sharply called into question by the historic and devastating result of the 2012 Queensland State Election. The heavily defeated Australian Labor Party Government of former Premier Anna Bligh attempted to be bold but was regarded by hundreds of thousands of voters as lacking in faithfulness. It was this clear perception of Labor in the eyes of voters as being out-of-touch, incompetent and unwilling to listen that cost the ALP Government in Queensland what is the worst electoral defeat in the Party’s own history. It was only the sixth time a sitting Government had been ousted since 1915, with the Parliamentary majority given to the Liberal National Party being the highest ever recorded in the State’s 152 year electoral history. 1 The following Table shows the general trend of results. Election/Votes LNP ALP Katter’s Party 2009 Election 34 Seats 51 Seats - 2012 Election 77 Seats 7 Seats 2 Seats Votes Gained 1,115,303 599,122 256,633 % Of Vote 49.85% 26.78% 11.47% % Swing Plus 8.25% Minus 15.47% Plus 11.47% The extent of the political destruction overtaking Labor can also be seen from the large number of former Ministers of the Crown who humiliatingly lost their seats.

    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.
