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.

Apart from any fair dealing for the purposes of study, research, criticism, review, or as otherwise permitted under the Copyright Act, no part may be reproduced by any process without written permission. Inquiries should be made to the publisher. 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.
