    AN EXAMINATION OF HOW THE MILITARY, THE CONSERVATIVE PRESS AND MINISTERIALIST POLITICIANS GENERATED SUPPORT WITHIN QUEENSLAND FOR THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA IN 1899 AND 1900 Margaret Jean Klaassen ASDA, ATCL, LTCL, FTCL, BA 1988 Triple Majors: Education, English & History, University of Auckland. The University Prize in Education of Adults awarded by the Council of the University of Auckland, 1985. Submitted in full requirement for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Division of Research & Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology 2014 Keywords Anglo-Boer War, Boer, Brisbane Courier, Dawson, Dickson, Kitchener, Kruger, Orange Free State, Philp, Queensland, Queenslander, Transvaal, War. ii Abstract This thesis examines the myth that Queensland was the first colonial government to offer troops to support England in the fight against the Boers in the Transvaal and Orange Free State in 1899. The offer was unconstitutional because on 10 July 1899, the Premier made it in response to a request from the Commandant and senior officers of the Queensland Defence Force that ‘in the event of war breaking out in South Africa the Colony of Queensland could send a contingent of troops and a machine gun’. War was not declared until 10 October 1899. Under Westminster government conventions, the Commandant’s request for military intervention in an overseas war should have been discussed by the elected legislators in the House. However, Parliament had gone into recess on 24 June following the Federation debate. During the critical 10-week period, the politicians were in their electorates preparing for the Federation Referendum on 2 September 1899, after which Parliament would resume.

The decade saw a flowering of Australian literature. It saw tremendous social and economic changes. Partly as a result of these changes, these years saw the rise of a new force in Australian politics - the labour movement. In some colonies, this development was overshadowed by the consolidation of a colonial liberal tradition reaching its culmination in the Deakinite liberalism of the early years of the tlommdhwealth. Developments in Queensland differed from those in the southern colonies.

  • Highways Byways
    Highways AND Byways THE ORIGIN OF TOWNSVILLE STREET NAMES Compiled by John Mathew Townsville Library Service 1995 Revised edition 2008 Acknowledgements Australian War Memorial John Oxley Library Queensland Archives Lands Department James Cook University Library Family History Library Townsville City Council, Planning and Development Services Front Cover Photograph Queensland 1897. Flinders Street Townsville Local History Collection, Citilibraries Townsville Copyright Townsville Library Service 2008 ISBN 0 9578987 54 Page 2 Introduction How many visitors to our City have seen a street sign bearing their family name and wondered who the street was named after? How many students have come to the Library seeking the origin of their street or suburb name? We at the Townsville Library Service were not always able to find the answers and so the idea for Highways and Byways was born. Mr. John Mathew, local historian, retired Town Planner and long time Library supporter, was pressed into service to carry out the research. Since 1988 he has been steadily following leads, discarding red herrings and confirming how our streets got their names. Some remain a mystery and we would love to hear from anyone who has information to share. Where did your street get its name? Originally streets were named by the Council to honour a public figure. As the City grew, street names were and are proposed by developers, checked for duplication and approved by Department of Planning and Development Services. Many suburbs have a theme. For example the City and North Ward areas celebrate famous explorers. The streets of Hyde Park and part of Gulliver are named after London streets and English cities and counties.

Maiy de JaJoim (J ABSTRACT This thesis is about primary schooling in tiie region of north Queensland between 1875 and 1905. Specifically, it examines teaching and learning as an intCTactive process between the participants in the educational enterprise and tiieir particular environments. Guiding the study are ethnogr^hic and narrative ^^proaches which take account of human agency, especially tiie capacity of the northem communities, including teachers, pupils and officials, to interconnect the diversity of their social and economic landscapes with the formal requirements of secular schooling. In the period from 1875 to 1905, primary schooling expanded in numerical terms but was provided unevenly across the colony at both the system and community levels. Disruption was part of the estabUshing process, but the location was as much with families, communities and teachers as with the newly-formed Department of Pubhc Instruction. Where schooling took place was important.

    Page 255 Chapter 6 The politics of ‘coloured labour’ in Queensland, 1876-1882 THE CONFLICTS which led to the adoption of the White Australia policy were experienced most intensely in Queensland, and about Queensland, in the years from 1876 until the deportation of the majority of Pacific Islanders in 1906.1 It was the colony whose tropical industries were most advanced, and whose non- European, non-indigenous population was the largest. Here the ruling class found itself grappling with the question of who should comprise the labouring class in the tropics. While some focused purely on the profits they might make, others were troubled by the possible consequences of such decisions—for colonisation, continued “white” immigration, the structure of their economy and society, investor confidence and investment flows, military security, the structure of their ideology and the problems of social control. 1 In colonial discussion, Pacific Islanders and labourers brought from New Guinea were generically described as “Polynesians”, despite all being “Melanesian”. Indian labourers indentured for field work were commonly described as “coolies”. Page 256 Chapter 6: ‘Coloured labour’ in Queensland, 1876-82 The dilemmas were enormous. Queensland capitalists had organised a dynamic and fabulously profitable sugar industry, which in turn opened up the tropical coast of Queensland to wider capitalist development. However planter success was founded upon the exploitation of Pacific Island labourers, and when they proved too few in number, the planters employed Chinese people, labourers from other Asian countries, and campaigned for the right to indenture Indian “coolies”. In the minds of most liberals, townspeople, selectors and miners, these coloured labourers and wealthy capitalists were harbingers of a society more like the backward American South than the powerful industrial economy of Great Britain.
