  • 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.

From Labor, the Country Party (later the Nationals) inherited a rurally biased gerrymander, which kept them in power.

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.

  • Public Leadership—Perspectives and Practices
    20. The Retiring Premiers: A New Style of Leadership Transition Paul Strangio `I will never resign. They will have to carry me out with my boots on' (cited in Knight 2003: 244). Ned Hanlon, Premier of Queensland, 7 March 1946 - 15 January 1952 (died in office) `I feel I could be premier for 20 years. Ha! Hubris Ð when we imagine we're gods. In my business you can be wiped out by events, and within a 24 hours news cycle' (cited in Smith 2006: 496). Diary entry early 2000, Bob Carr, Premier of New South Wales, 4 April 1995 - 3 August 2005 (resigned) Leaders who do know when to go In the introduction to their 2005 edited volume Yes, Premier: Labor leadership in Australia's states and territories, John Wanna and Paul Williams point to the `surprisingly sparse' scholarly literature on sub-national politics in Australia and an associated absence of a `systematic analysis of state leaders' (pp 25 and 29). The Wanna and Williams study was an admirable attempt to redress that latter omission through a collective study of the (then) current batch of sub-national leaders (all of whom, for the first time since Federation, were from the Labor side of politics). The publication of Yes, Premier was preceded by the third edition of The Premiers of Queensland (Murphy et al. 2003) and has been followed subsequently by collections of biographical essays on the premiers of New South Wales (Clune and Turner 2006) and Victoria (Strangio and Costar 2006). It would be wrong to exaggerate this trend.
