  • INAUGURAL SPEECH Mr SKELTON (Nicklin—ALP) (11.18 Am): I Would Like to Begin by Acknowledging the First Nation People on Whose Land We Meet: the Turrbal People
    Speech By Robert Skelton MEMBER FOR NICKLIN Record of Proceedings, 1 December 2020 INAUGURAL SPEECH Mr SKELTON (Nicklin—ALP) (11.18 am): I would like to begin by acknowledging the First Nation people on whose land we meet: the Turrbal people. I also acknowledge the Kabi Kabi people, whose land I am honoured to speak of in this place, and I pay my respects to their leaders past, present and emerging. I was born an Army brat and spent my early life travelling around the country with my family and sister Cassandra as my father, Robert, served. My mother, Yvonne, also imbued in me a sense of duty and honour, so in 1995 after finishing school in Townsville I joined the Navy so that I, too, could serve my country. My naval career saw me serve as a boatswain’s mate on HMAS Swan, HMAS Canberra and HMAS Ipswich. I later had an educational posting at the gunnery range at HMAS Cerberus. In 2002 I transferred to RAAF Base Amberley to train as an aviation firefighter. I then served at RAAF Base Tindal. My time in the services taught me the importance of comradeship, teamwork, improvisation and a love of, and duty to, country. During this time my wife, Rachel, and I had a young family. I have three beautiful children: Brandt, Delaney and Jamison. All three were born thousands of kilometres apart in Cairns, Frankston and Katherine respectively. I also had the good fortune of adopting Ray and Sandra Hubbard and John and Julie Aldous as parents somewhere along the way.

Chapter 6 Sweet Surrender: The Rise and Demise of MiHtancy in Queensland, 1933-1939 'let me here point out that Labor ... has never been defeated by its enemies. Defeat always comes from its own ranks.' William Demaine, Presidential Address, Labor-in- Politics Convention, 1938. Having secured the defeat of the Moore Government in the 1932 state elections, Forgan-Smith and the ALP in Queensland were now charged with the responsibility of fulfilling the promises made to the Queensland electorate. Getting Queenslanders working again and dragging the economy out of a crippling depression were the 218 cornerstones of Labors electoral resurrection. For this to occur one of the requirements of the labour movement was to ensure a climate of industrial peace and resist calls for direct industrial action. As ever the Labor Party would look to its foremost political and industrial ally the AWU to enforce the compliance of trade unionists through its reliance upon the arbitration system. For the AWU the immediate goals were to restore the power and prestige of the Arbitration Court which had been emasculated by the Moore administration and to retrieve the many employment conditions which his government had eroded.

  • (AWU) and the Labour Movement in Queensland from 1913-1957
    University of Wollongong Thesis Collections University of Wollongong Thesis Collection University of Wollongong Year A history of the relationship between the Queensland branch of the Australian Workers’ Union (AWU) and the labour movement in Queensland from 1913-1957 Craig Clothier University of Wollongong Clothier, Craig, A history of the relationship between the Queensland branch of the Australian Workers’ Union (AWU) and the labour movement in Queensland from 1913-1957, Doctor of Philosophy thesis, School of History and Politics, University of Wollongong, 2005. http://ro.uow.edu.au/theses/1996 This paper is posted at Research Online. Introduction Between 1913-1957 the Queensland Branch of the Australian Workers' Union (AWU) was the largest branch of the largest trade union in Australia. Throughout this period in Queensland the AWU accounted for approximately one third of all trade unionists in that state and at its peak claimed a membership in excess of 60 000. Consequenfly the AWU in Queensland was able to exert enormous influence over the labour movement in that state not only in industrial relations but also within the political sphere through its affiliation to the Australian Labor Party. From 1915-1957 the Labor Party in Queensland held office for all but the three years between 1929-1932. AWU officials and members dominated the Labor Cabinets of the period and of the eight Labor premiers five were members of the AWU, with two others closely aligned to the Union. Only the last Labor premier of the period, Vincent Clare Gair, owed no allegiance to the AWU. The AWU also used its numerical strength and political influence to dominate the other major decision-making bodies of Queensland's labour movement, most notably the Queensland Central Executive (QCE), that body's 'inner' Executive and the triennial Labor-in-Politics Convention.
