  • Abolition of the Upper House Community Engagement – Updated 27 March 2001
    Abolition of the Upper House Community Engagement – Updated 27 March 2001 THE ABOLITION OF THE UPPER HOUSE IN QUEENSLAND INTRODUCTION Unicameral legislatures, or legislatures with only one chamber, are uncommon in democracies. It is usually considered that two chambers are necessary for government, and this is the case for the United Kingdom, Canada (at the Federal level) and the United States (Federally, and for all states except Nebraska.) However, some countries, usually small ones, are unicameral. Israel, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, Sweden, and Greece have only one chamber. All the Canadian Provinces, all the Malaysian States and some of the Indian ones, including Assam, are unicameral. Other single-chambered legislatures in the Commonwealth include New Zealand, Ghana, Cyprus, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Malta, Malawi, Zambia, Gambia, Guyana, Singapore, Botswana, Zimbabwe and (Western) Samoa. In Australia, the Federal Government has two chambers, as do the governments of all the states, except Queensland. At its separation from New South Wales in 1859, Queensland had two houses of Parliament, the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council. But in a move unique in Australian history, the Legislative Council abolished itself. EARLY DAYS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, 1860-1890 Queensland, separated from New South Wales in 1859, was the only colony to have a Parliament from its inception. When the Parliament of Queensland was first promulgated in 1860, there were two houses of Parliament. The first members of the Upper House, the Legislative Council, were appointed for five years by the Governor of New South Wales, so that Queensland would not be left permanently with nominees from the Governor of another colony.

  • Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong By
    Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong by Cecilia Louise Chu A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor C. Greig Crysler Professor Eugene F. Irschick Spring 2012 Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Copyright 2012 by Cecilia Louise Chu 1 Abstract Speculative Modern: Urban Forms and the Politics of Property in Colonial Hong Kong Cecilia Louise Chu Doctor of Philosophy in Architecture University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair This dissertation traces the genealogy of property development and emergence of an urban milieu in Hong Kong between the 1870s and mid 1930s. This is a period that saw the transition of colonial rule from one that relied heavily on coercion to one that was increasingly “civil,” in the sense that a growing number of native Chinese came to willingly abide by, if not whole-heartedly accept, the rules and regulations of the colonial state whilst becoming more assertive in exercising their rights under the rule of law. Long hailed for its laissez-faire credentials and market freedom, Hong Kong offers a unique context to study what I call “speculative urbanism,” wherein the colonial government’s heavy reliance on generating revenue from private property supported a lucrative housing market that enriched a large number of native property owners. Although resenting the discrimination they encountered in the colonial territory, they were able to accumulate economic and social capital by working within and around the colonial regulatory system.

  • Augustine Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland, 1907-1916
    3.0 Those who Set the Stage 3.1 Those concerned with Home Rule (for and against) 3.1.2 Augustine Birrell, Chief Secretary for Ireland, 1907-1916 Birrell contributed indirectly to the Rising by failing (together with Asquith) to confront the Ulster unionists and by failing to take action against the republicans planning the Rising. Augustine Birrell (1850-1933) was from Liverpool. His father was a Baptist minister and his maternal grandfather a Free Church of Scotland minister; in later life he became an agnostic, but maintained a Liberal nonconformist outlook. A legacy enabled him to study law at Trinity Hall, Cambridge, following which he practiced as a barrister and gained recognition as an essayist and literary critic of distinction. Elected as the Liberal MP for West Fife in 1889, he served as a minister under Campbell-Bannerman, becoming Chief Secretary for Ireland in 1907, an office which he held until May 1916 when he resigned under a cloud in the aftermath of the Rising. The Chief Secretary was the official responsible for formulating and administering government policy in Ireland. Birrell was one of the most humane, committed and productive ministers ever to hold the office. He was well disposed towards nationalist Ireland, his ultimate objective being Home Rule. In the meantime, he had a total of fifty-six pieces of largely beneficial legislation enacted. These included acts for the establishment of the National University of Ireland and Queen’s University Belfast, and the 1909 Land Act, which accelerated the purchase of land by tenants and reduced agrarian strife.

  • A Most Thankless Job: Augustine Birrell As Irish
    A MOST THANKLESS JOB: AUGUSTINE BIRRELL AS IRISH CHIEF SECRETARY, 1907-1916 A Dissertation by KEVIN JOSEPH MCGLONE Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, R. J. Q. Adams Committee Members, David Hudson Adam Seipp Brian Rouleau Peter Hugill Head of Department, David Vaught December 2016 Major Subject: History Copyright 2016 Kevin McGlone ABSTRACT Augustine Birrell was a man who held dear the classical liberal principles of representative democracy, political freedom and civil liberties. During his time as Irish Chief Secretary from 1907-1916, he fostered a friendly working relationship with the leaders of the Irish Party, whom he believed would be the men to lead the country once it was conferred with the responsibility of self-government. Hundreds of years of religious and political strife between Ireland’s Nationalist and Unionist communities meant that Birrell, like his predecessors, took administrative charge of a deeply polarized country. His friendship with Irish Party leader John Redmond quickly alienated him from the Irish Unionist community, which was adamantly opposed to a Dublin parliament under Nationalist control. Augustine Birrell’s legacy has been both tarnished and neglected because of the watershed Easter Rising of 1916, which shifted the focus of the historiography of the period towards militant nationalism at the expense of constitutional politics. Although Birrell’s flaws as Irish Chief Secretary have been well-documented, this paper helps to rehabilitate his image by underscoring the importance of his economic, social and political reforms for a country he grew to love.

Daniel Ryan, University of Sydney Tropical Panoramas: Competitions for Model Houses in Northern and Western Queensland 1923-1930 Technical controversies about the tropical house in the 1920s and early 1930s in Australia reveal the state of crisis that put the design of the house in Northern and Western Queensland on trial. Medical institutions, community organisations and a reluctant architectural profession all sought to develop a new ideal dwelling that would maintain the health and well-being of white settlers in the tropics. This paper explores the role played by the Public Health Organisation, the Queensland Town Planning Association and the Architectural & Building Journal of Queensland in organising a set of competitions for the tropical house in 1923 and 1930. It looks at how these bodies engaged architects in medical discourse on the tropical house and examines the reasons why the organisers deemed such competitions to have ended ultimately in failure.

  • Commencement Committees
    Commencement MAY 2021 WELCOME FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Friends: It is with a mixture of happiness, pride, and confidence that I write to you on this occasion of the culmination of your years of effort and achievement at the University of Connecticut. Many times in the past 12 months I have had reason to recall the observation of the Greek Stoic philosopher Epictetus: “Happiness and freedom begin with one principle: some things are within your control, and some are not.” This is a principle we can truly say has been affirmed for everyone in the world since the spring of 2020. Certainly, it is a principle that was not lost on you, as you responded to events outside your control with the creativity, determination, and perseverance that came to characterize UConn during this time. Great challenges beget great achievements, and your achievement as students here shine as brightly as any in the 140- year history of our University. You now continue your journey in the world not just prepared, but empowered: empowered by the knowledge that you have it within yourself to face any obstacle, and overcome it. This is a special class, its ranks filled with scholars of all disciplines and leaders on issues from climate action to racial justice. One of the pleasures I look forward to in the coming years is learning of how you will apply your UConn experience to transforming our world – hopefully, learning about it from you in person, on visits back to your alma mater. As we move closer toward a return to a semblance of life as we knew it before the pandemic, I know it will become easier to put the last year into the context of your entire time at UConn.
