PERSONAL EXPLANATIONS Mr R,. J, GIBBS (Wotlston) (11,3 a.m.), by leave: In the House yesterday during the Matters of Public Interest debate, I made a number of remarks relative to the member for Stafford. I wish to make it very clear, and I would hope that the media publish it as a matter of public record, that the comments I made were in no way directed at the people who served in Vidnam. I have the utmost respect for those sent to Vietnam against their own wiU because thdr number happened to be drawn out in a professional lottery dealing with people's lives. I realise that many of those who served paid the supreme sacrifice and that, of those who returned;, many will carry physical afflictions for the rest of their lives-^a fad that I find to be most unacceptable and extremely sad in the light of the fact that Vietnam was described as a dirty, unwinnable war. I hold those men and women who serve in Australia's defence forces in the highest regard and pubUcly acknowledge the fine job they do. I reiterate that my comments yesterday were made with spedfic reference to the member for Stafford, owing to the warmongering views that he has presented to the Parliament on a number of occasions. Mr CASEY (Mackay) (11.4 a.m.), by leave: During the debate on matters of public interest in the House yesterday the member for Stafford made the allegation that the Standing Orders Committee did not achieve better results more quickly because I did not bother to turn up at medings and the meetings did not proceed for lack of a quorum. Let me set the record straight. Only one rneeting of the Standing Orders Committee lacked a quorum, the one called for Wednesday* 9 September 1981. I did not attend that meeting for the very, gopd reason that I was speaking in the Chamber at that time, as you would be well aware, Mr Acting Speaker. A further study of the first report of the Standing Orders Committee—^nd the member for Stafford, along with all other members of the House, would have a oopy*—shows that of the six meetings held, Mr Speaker attended all six, the Premier and I attended five and Dr Ediivards, Mr Gygar's own leader, attended only four. If the honourable ipember for Stafford wants to chastise anybody for non-attendance at meetings of the Standing Orders Committee; he should start with his own leader. It is rather unfortunate that the honourable member makes such wild aUegations in the House. Perhaps he is still floating along with euphoria on cloud nine after th® way he stabbed the honourable members for Windsor and Maiisfidd. PETITIONS , •. • -'t •' • The Clerk announced the receipt of the following petitipnsT— Pedestrian Underpass, Bridgewater Street, Moriungside From Mr Burns (214 signatories) praying that the Parliament of (Jueensland will direct the Railway Department to construct a pedestrian underpass at Bridgewater Street, Morningside. Questions upon Notice 18 November 1982 2431 Upgrading of Boreen Point-Tewantin Road From Mr Simpson (1600 signatories) praying that the Parliament of Queensland will take urgent adion to upgrade the Boreen Point-Tewantin Road. Banning of Television and Radio Advertising of Alcoholic Beverages From Mr Hansen (32 signatories) praying that the Parliament of Queensland |will legislate to ban the advertising of alcoholic beverages from television and radio. Petitions received. QUESTIONS UPON NOTICE Questions submitted on notice by members were answered as follows:— ; Wages Freeze, Queensland Public Service Mr Wright asked the Premier— Wkh reference to the Eraser/Anthony proposal for a 12-month wage freeze and the stated pubUc opposition by the Premier, the Minister for Commerce and Industry and the Minister for Justice and Attoraey-General— (1) Has the Queensland Government already effectively imposed such a wages freeze on the Public Service in this State? (2) (a) What were the salaries of all classifications I-l to 1-30, inclusive, as at 2 November 1981, (b) what are the salaries of all classifications I-l to 1-30, inclusive, at present and (c) what percentage increases have occurred in each case sincte 2 November 1981, when State public servants in Queensland received a wage increase of 9.5 per cent? (3) Did the percentage increase in the wage rates referred to in (2) vary from only 1.49 per cent to 4,61 per cent? (4) Did Queensland males, between August 1981 and August 1982, receive an increase in wages of 13,7 per cent and Queensland females an increase of 14.4 per cent? (5) As the purchasing power of public servants has been sharply reduced because of the increase in the cost of living of 11.3 per cent, is the Government prepared to direct the Public Service" Board to deal directly with the relevant PubUc Service unions regarding salary increases, to bring Public Service salaries back in line with Queensland community standards? (6) If not, can k be accepted that, while the Government says it is against any Federal wage freeze in the public sector, it has applied its own wages freeze policy? Answer:— (1) The Queensland Government has not imposed a wages freeze on the Public Service in this State. (2) (a & b) I table the relevant details for the information of the honourable member and I seek the leave of the House to have them incorporated in "Hansard" (Leave granted.) (c) The extent of increases in respect of classifications I-l to 1-30 represents an application of the decisions of the Industrial Commission to grant increases in the basic wage. (3) The basic wage increases applied to Public Service classifications I-l to 1-30 since 2 November 1981, reveal a range of increases from 4.59 per cent to 1,48 per cent, (4) The position with respect to weekly wage rates for Queensland males and females is in terms of material from the Australian Bureau of Statistics, (5) The poUcy of the Government is that major claims such as salary increases are matters for determination by the Industrial Commission. (6) See (1), Whereupon the honourable gentleman laid on the table the following document— 2432 18 November 1982 Questions Upon Notice m • . • • • • • . • . • , :-. , B xunu 3 C4 n s An Q •* r- Ov 00 ov en <n m ..H N m ToH 0 >ri ..-1 > S' ov <o vo t~- ON 00 oo. 00 f<Tr-^ ,6 t^ .—( m "T.

  • The Meaning of Yaroomba II
    Revisiting the place name meaning of Yaroomba The Gaiarbau, ‘bunya country’ and ‘thick vine scrub’ connections (by Kerry Jones, Arnold Jones, Sean Fleischfresser, Rodney Jones, Lore?a Algar, Helen Jones & Genevieve Jones) The Sunshine Coast region, fiHy years ago, may have had the greatest use of place names within Queensland derived from Aboriginal language words, according to researcher, E.G. Heap’s 1966 local history arQcle, ‘In the Wake of the Rasmen’. In the early days of colonisaon, local waterways were used to transport logs and Qmber, with the use of Aboriginal labour, therefore the term ‘rasmen’. Windolf (1986, p.2) notes that historically, the term ‘Coolum District’ included all the areas of Coolum Beach, Point Arkwright, Yaroomba, Mount Coolum, Marcoola, Mudjimba, Pacific Paradise and Peregian. In the 1960’s it was near impossible to take transport to and access or communicate with these areas, and made that much more difficult by wet or extreme weather. Around this Qme the Sunshine Coast Airport site (formerly the Maroochy Airport) having Mount Coolum as its backdrop, was sQll a Naonal Park (QPWS 1999, p. 3). Figure 1 - 1925 view of coastline including Mount Coolum, Yaroomba & Mudjimba Island north of the Maroochy Estuary In October 2014 the inaugural Yaroomba Celebrates fesQval, overlooking Yaroomba Beach, saw local Gubbi Gubbi (Kabi Kabi) TradiQonal Owner, Lyndon Davis, performing with the yi’di’ki (didgeridoo), give a very warm welcome. While talking about Yaroomba, Lyndon stated this area too was and is ‘bunya country’. Windolf (1986, p.8) writes about the first Qmber-ge?ers who came to the ‘Coolum District’ in the 1860’s.

  • Traditional Law and Indigenous Resistance at Moreton Bay 1842-1855
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by University of Southern Queensland ePrints [2005] ANZLH E-Journal Traditional law and Indigenous Resistance at Moreton Bay 1842-1855 LIBBY CONNORS* On the morning of 5 January 1855 when the British settlers of Moreton Bay publicly executed the Dalla-Djindubari man, Dundalli, they made sure that every member of the Brisbane town police was on duty alongside a detachment of native police under their British officer, Lieutenant Irving. Dundalli had been kept in chains and in solitary for the seven months of his confinement in Brisbane Gaol. Clearly the British, including the judge who condemned him, Sir Roger Therry, were in awe of him. The authorities insisted that these precautions were necessary because they feared escape or rescue by his people, a large number of whom had gathered in the scrub opposite the gaol to witness the hanging. Of the ten public executions in Brisbane between 1839 and 1859, including six of Indigenous men, none had excited this much interest from both the European and Indigenous communities.1 British satisfaction over Dundalli’s death is all the more puzzling when the evidence concerning his involvement in the murders for which he was condemned is examined. Dundalli was accused of the murders of Mary Shannon and her employer the pastoralist Andrew Gregor in October 1846, the sawyer William Waller in September 1847 and wounding with intent the lay missionary John Hausmann in 1845. In the first two cases the only witnesses were Mary Shannon’s five year old daughter and a “half- caste” boy living with Gregor whose age was uncertain but described as about ten or eleven years old.

This is a blank page This is a blank page NOTE. THE greater portion of the contents of this book first ap- peard in the " Queenslander " in the form of articles, and when those referring to the aborigines were pubished, Dr. Roth, author of " Ethnological Studies," etc., wrote the following letter to that paper :- TOM PETRIE' S REMINISCENCES (By C.C.P.)

SIR,-lt is with extreme interest that I have perused the remarkable series of articles appearing in the Queenslander under the above heading, and sincerely trust that they will he subsequently reprinted. The aborigines of Australia are fast dying out, and with them one of the most interesting phases in the history and development of man. Articles such as these, referring to the old Brisbane blacks, of whom I believe but one old warrior still remains, are well worth permanently recording in convenient book form-they are, all of them, clear, straight-forward statements of facts- many of which by analogy, and from early records, I have been able to confirm and verify-they show an intimate and profound knowledge of the aboriginals with whom they deal, and if only to show with what diligence they have been written, the native names are correctly, i.e., rationally spelt.

A Distant Past': Researching the First Petrie Generation' by D. Cryle Presented at a meeting of the Society, 21 February 1992 Researching the Scottish origins of the Petries was the first stage of a two-pronged investigation into the family's eventful history. Complementing this lengthy task was the need to interrogate early colonial sources in an attempt to reconstruct the original immigrants, Andrew and Mary, as complex historical actors. While it was not our intention to undertake a psychobiography, it was necessary to negotiate the private family sphere, firstly as a means of elucidating the achievements of a very public Brisbane family and secondly, as a subject possessing its own intrinsic interest. In this regard, researching the first immigrant generation proved to be as challenging as investigating the Scottish connection. In the case of the Petries, it was not tUl the early twentieth century that Constance Petrie, a granddaughter of the original immigrants on Tom's side, recorded the celebrated Reminiscences of Early Queensland,^ while Andrew Lang Petrie, a grandson on John's side; wrote a series of short sketches for the Daily Mail at the end of his parliamentary career.^ Valuable as these family sources were for the colonial period, there were significant gaps in the record, especially concerning the original immigrants.

  • Richard Carroll Thesis
    Re-presenting the Past: Authenticity and the Historical Novel A novel and exegesis by Richard Carroll BA (UQ), Honours First Class (QUT) Creative Writing and Literary Studies Discipline Creative Industries Faculty Queensland University of Technology Submitted as a requirement of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2014 ii Keywords Aboriginal people, appropriation, authenticity, Brisbane, creative writing process, culture studies, fact/fiction dichotomy, genre studies, historical novel, historiography, literary studies, practice-led research, protocols for non- Indigenous authors, Queensland history, representation, research and aesthetics in fiction, Tom Petrie, whiteness, white writing black. iii Abstract The practice-led project consists of a 51,000 word historical novel and a 39,000 word exegesis that explores the defining elements of historical fiction and the role it plays in portraying the past. The creative work Turrwan (great man), tells the story of Tom Petrie, an early Queensland settler who arrived at the Moreton Bay Penal Colony in 1837 at the age of six. Tom was unusual in that he learnt the language of the local Turrbal people and was accepted as one of their own. The novel explores relationships between the Aboriginal people and settlers with the aim of heightening historical awareness and understanding of this divisive era in Queensland’s history. I believe that literature has neglected the fictionalising of the early history of Brisbane and that my novel could fill this gap. The project is a combination of qualitative and practice-led research: qualitative through the exegesis which consists of mainly discursive data, and practice-led through the creative work. In response to questions raised in the process of writing the story, the investigation explores the historical novel in an attempt to better understand the nature of the genre and how this knowledge could inform the creative work.

  • The Petrie Family, a Genealogical and Biographical Perspective
    548 The Petrie Family, a Genealogical and Biographical Perspective by Dimity Dornan Presented at a meeting of the Society 27 February 1992 Andrew Petrie (1798-1872) arrived at Moreton Bay in the August of 1837, to take up his new position as Foreman of Works at the infamous Penal Colony. With him was his family of five children, and his wife, Mary. Andrew, later described by early newspaperman Thomas Dowse as "The Father of Brisbane",' was, with his family, to have a significant role in the establishment of Brisbane as a viable township. He was also to become an explorer of some note, and the architect and builder of some of Brisbane's finest old buildings. Many of these stand today as monuments to his creativity. To understand the personality and ability of such a man, an understanding of his background is essential. This necessitates a journey back to Scotland of the 18th century. Andrew Petrie was baptised in 1798, the second son of Walter Petrie of Kettle, Fifeshire, Scotland.^ Walter was born the eighth son of James Petrie and Margaret Elder at Freuchy mill in Kettle.^ Andrew's mother, Margaret Hutchison (also recorded as Hutson) was baptised in Markinch, Fife, the neighbouring parish to Kettle in 1770", and she married Walter Petrie in Kettle in 1792, being 10 years his junior.' Margaret was the daughter of Grizel Pierson and Andrew Hutchison, and according to the traditional Scottish naming pattern, it was this ancestor, his grandfather on his mother's side, who gave Andrew Petrie his name. Margaret and Walter Petrie had 6 children, of whom Andrew was the fourth.
