iii Introduction

The Queensland Parliament pays tribute to the former members of parliament who engaged in active service during the Second World War. When Great Britain declared war on Germany on 3 September 1939, the then Premier W Forgan-Smith stated: “At a time such as this there is no need to make a long speech dealing with the situation. It is enough to say that the declaration of war and the war that is now in operation is probably the most tragic occurrence in human history. It is not an occasion for any kind of illusion or Image courtesy of the . 040946. vainglory; it is definitely an occasion for calm resolution to see the war to With a major theatre of war being a successful conclusion.1” fought in East Asia, South-East Asia, and By the end of the war, between 30,000 the Pacific Ocean, the Second World and 40,000 Australian service personnel War brought fighting much closer to had died, and many more were injured. home than in previous conflicts.5 Over 30,000 Australians were taken Direct military attacks took place on the prisoner.2 Australian mainland and in Australian In many respects, the Second World waters.6 Japanese planes conducted War was different from any conflict that aerial attacks throughout Northern had previously experienced.

The Australian Council of Civil Liberties, a number of unions and the Leader of the Opposition criticised the legislation on account of the broad-ranging powers given to the administering body.25 The Act was proclaimed in December 1941, following the bombing of Pearl Harbour.26
