The Coalition parties’ share of the vote puts them within reach of victory, but the way in which they work towards the next election—particularly in the area of policy development—will be crucial to them if they are to succeed.

  • Ap2 Final 16.2.17
    PALASZCZUK’S SECOND YEAR AN OVERVIEW OF 2016 ANN SCOTT HOWARD GUILLE ROGER SCOTT with cartoons by SEAN LEAHY Foreword This publication1 is the fifth in a series of Queensland political chronicles published by the TJRyan Foundation since 2012. The first two focussed on Parliament.2 They were written after the Liberal National Party had won a landslide victory and the Australian Labor Party was left with a tiny minority, led by Annastacia Palaszczuk. The third, Queensland 2014: Political Battleground,3 published in January 2015, was completed shortly before the LNP lost office in January 2015. In it we used military metaphors and the language which typified the final year of the Newman Government. The fourth, Palaszczuk’s First Year: a Political Juggling Act,4 covered the first year of the ALP minority government. The book had a cartoon by Sean Leahy on its cover which used circus metaphors to portray 2015 as a year of political balancing acts. It focussed on a single year, starting with the accession to power of the Palaszczuk Government in mid-February 2015. Given the parochial focus of our books we draw on a limited range of sources. The TJRyan Foundation website provides a repository for online sources including our own Research Reports on a range of Queensland policy areas, and papers catalogued by policy topic, as well as Queensland political history.5 A number of these reports give the historical background to the current study, particularly the anthology of contributions The Newman Years: Rise, Decline and Fall.6 Electronic links have been provided to open online sources, notably the ABC News, Brisbane Times, The Guardian, and The Conversation.

    368 Ross River Road, Cranbrook Ignatius Park College Townsville Australia 4814 Newsletter E: [email protected] W: www.ipc.qld.edu.au Number 21 | 28 June 2018 T: 07 4796 0222 F: 07 4796 0200 From the Principal Dear Parents, Friends and Caregivers Ignatius Park College acknowledges that the land we meet on today is the traditional lands for the Bindal and Wulgurukaba People and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their Country. We also acknowledge the Bindal and Wulgurukaba People as the traditional custodians of the Townsville region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Bindal and Wulgurukaba People today. Sir Winston Churchill was one of the most widely revered and iconic leaders in world history. He was a wartime Prime Minister and his passion and courage quite literally altered the course of history. He once stated, “Success is not final, failure is not fatal, it is the courage to continue that counts.” This quote is important for all our students to reflect upon as they receive their Semester 1 academic reports this week. In receiving their reports, they need to compare their Term 1 and Term 2 results and identify if their grades have been maintained or improved in the first half of the year. For some students the year commences with great enthusiasm and a focus on their studies. However, as the semester progresses and the novelty of being back to school diminishes, this can sometimes reflect a deterioration in their commitment to their studies. The key to becoming an effective student is learning how to study smarter, not harder.

  • The Caretaker Election
    18. Queensland Ian Ward In mid-August and at the height of an election focused upon on the contest between the major parties and their leaders, the mayors of Richmond, Hinchinbrook, Mount Isa and several other north Queensland local councils announced they would lobby the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) to press for the creation of a separate State. In Kennedy, Bob Katter— en route to achieving a primary vote of 46.7 per cent and a comfortable victory—hoped this would be a spark to ‘light the fuse’ (Vogler 2010). This serves to remind readers that Queensland is a large, diverse, decentralised State with distinctive political geography and culture. There is a further lesson here. In the colourful language of Bob Katter, the north Queensland mayors had had ‘a gutful of the blood-sucking establishment of the south’ (Calligeros 2010). In Queensland, the ALP suffered a (two-party preferred) swing of 5.58 per cent—larger than in New South Wales (4.84 per cent), and more than double the Australia-wide swing from Labor of 2.58 per cent. Prior to the 21 August poll, Queensland was widely tipped as a State in which the election would be decided because of the number of seats held by narrow margins. Each side ‘launched’ its campaign in Brisbane. In the last week of the campaign, Brisbane also played host to a televised forum in which the two leaders fielded questions from an audience of swinging voters. As a further pointer to the State’s perceived importance, beginning well before the campaign proper and when Kevin Rudd remained Prime Minister, the leaders of both major parties made repeated visits to Queensland regions.
