  • 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.

  • The Ayes Have It: the History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    7. The Pizzey–Chalk interlude, 1968 With the retirement of Frank Nicklin as Premier in January 1968, the Queensland Parliament entered a period of turbulence and uncertainty. Nicklin had been the leader of the Country Party continuously since June 1941, accumulating a total of 26.5 years at the helm. He had been Premier for 10.5 years and had governed the state competently and conscientiously. He had stamped his own personal integrity and probity on the character of the government and had quietly maintained a guiding hand over the cabinet and party room. In the Parliament, he was uniformly held in high regard not only by his own Country Party colleagues but by his Coalition partners and members of the opposition. He had maintained a sense of decency in the Assembly that was recognised by friend and foe alike. At the time of his retirement, Nicklin had attained many parliamentary achievements, not the least of which was the general acceptance of the Coalition parties as the natural parties of government. He had also, perhaps more conscientiously, sustained the Country Party as the dominant party in the Coalition despite consistently polling fewer votes than the largely urban-based Liberal Party. Nicklin’s retirement at seventy-two years of age was not exactly a surprise; it had been expected for some time. His health and energy were waning and he had spent some weeks in hospital during the final months of his record- breaking premiership. It was widely believed that Nicklin had hung on to the job for so long simply to beat the previous record of Labor’s Forgan Smith as the longest-serving premier (Forgan Smith had served 10 years and three months).

  • Queensland Competition Authority Act 1997 Sections 23 and 24
    Queensland Competition Authority Act 1997 Sections 23 and 24 REFERRAL NOTICE The Gladstone Area Water Board's (GAWB) strategic water plan includes GAWB's contingent supply strategy. GAWB has selected a supply of water from the Fitzroy River as its preferred contingent supply. GAWB proposes to undertake preparatory expenditure to provide reasonable certainty that water can be sourced from the Fitzroy River within 24 months of agreed events (either drought or demand-led) that might trigger an augmentation. As the Premier and the Treasurer of Queensland, we hereby refer under Section 23 of the Queensland Competition Authority Act 1997 the declared government monopoly business activities of the GAWB to the Queensland Competition Authority (the Authority) for investigations regarding the appropriateness of the following pricing practices: (a) GAWB's recovery of proposed preparatory expenditure from existing and future customers, specifically having regard to: (i) the prudence of GAWB's contingent source strategy, including selection of a supply from the Fitzroy River as the appropriate contingent source; (ii) the level of efficient costs associated with the development of GAWB's contingent supply strategy that should be included in prices; (iii) the timing of expenditures which are related to the implementation of the contingent supply strategy; (iv) the means by which efficient costs of the contingent supply strategy should be included in prices for subsequent years; (b) GAWB's proposed criteria for triggering construction of the appropriate augmentation in the event of drought or unexpected additional demand; and (c) GAWB's proposed changes to pricing practices related to declared activities required to enable GAWB to recover its efficient costs of the system as appropriately augmented.

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.
