    Keynote Addresses The Pre-First World War British Women’s Suffrage Revolt and Labour Unrest: Never the Twain Shall Meet? Ralph Darlington During the years immediately preceding the First World War Britain experienced social unrest on a scale beyond anything that had occurred since the first half of the nineteenth century. Despite their distinctive priorities of gender and class respectively, both the women’s suffrage revolt for the vote (embracing suffragettes and suffragists) and the unprecedented labour unrest of 1910-14 (involving strikes in pursuit of higher wages, better working conditions and trade union recognition) utilised dramatic extra-parliamentary ‘direct action’ forms of militant struggle from below that represented a formidable challenge to the existing social and political order of Edwardian Britain. Although the two militant movements effectively co-existed side-by-side on parallel tracks, with a huge and frustrating gulf between them undermining the potential leverage and power of both, there were nonetheless some very important linkages between the struggles of women and labour that have often been missed or ignored by feminist and labour historians alike. This presentation re-examines the historical record to deploy both new and previously utilised evidence to foreground neglected aspects of the subject, reveal fresh factual insights, and provide a more detailed than hitherto available assessment of the potential and limits of the interconnections between the women’s and labour movements in this defining period of British history. Ralph Darlington is Emeritus-elect Professor of Employment Relations at Salford Business School, University of Salford, UK. He is the author/editor of six books, including The Dynamics of Workplace Unionism (1991; What’s the Point of Industrial Relations? In Defence of Critical Social Science (2009); and Radical Unionism (2013), as well as numerous journal articles on historical and contemporary features of industrial relations and trade unionism.

  • Women in Parliament: Attaining the Ideal
    Women in Parliament: Attaining the Ideal John E.S. McCulloch * Abstract For reasons of equity it would seem desirable for parliamentary representation to comprise 50% women and 50% men.1 No Australian parliament will achieve this goal in the foreseeable future, however, despite gender quotas having been introduced by the Australian Labor Party specifically to increase female parliamentary representation. The Liberal Party has taken a different approach and relies on merit to achieve the same purpose. In terms of female parliamentary representation Australia seems unable to improve its world ranking above about 30 th place. This paper will explore the reasons why Australia has not done better — is it the parliament, is it the political parties, is it the electorate, is it the media, is it the women themselves? Perhaps (to quote Tony Blair) we should look to a third way. Has Anything Changed over the Last Decade? Between 1998 and 2008 Australia increased the percentage of women in the lower house of its parliament by 11%, which was just enough to maintain its world ranking of about 30 th place, but not enough to improve its position. Over the same period, most other Anglo-Saxon countries only marginally increased their percentage of women MPs, and thus plunged in terms of their world rankings. New Zealand’s percentage increased from 29.2% in 1997 to 33.1% in 2007, but its world ranking declined from 6th to 14 th place. Canada barely increased its number of women MPs from 20.6% to 21.3%, and its ranking fell from 17 th to 50 th .

This year, 1994, is the centenary of that milestone in Australian electoral history. This publication commemorates this centenary and in particular the achievements of women Members of the Queensland Parliament. It has been designed as an historical source book for the twenty women who have been Members of the Queensland Legislative Assembly (no women were ever Members of the Queensland Legislative Council, which was abolished in 1922) to the present time.

  • The Ayes Have It: the History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
    10. Commanding the Parliament, 1972–1975 The fortieth Parliament began its first session on 1 August 1972. It would run until 1 November 1974, sitting for 193 days in the two and a half years it existed. Fifteen new members made their appearance in the House—almost one- fifth of the Assembly. They included, from the ALP: Tom Burns, Bill D’Arcy, Roy Harvey, Kevin Hooper, Gerry Jones, Ken Leese and Les Yewdale; from the Country Party: Des Frawley, Bill Gunn, Lindsay Hartwig, Donald Neal, Ted Row and Bruce Small; and from the Liberal Party: Dr Llewellyn Edwards and Dr Norman Scott-Young. The Country–Liberal Coalition had been in office for 15 years and was starting to become more than a little cocky in government. There were occasional telltale signs in the Parliament during question time or in debates in which ministers were summarily dismissive of opposition concerns. While the government’s electoral position was not threatened, there was evidence of seething tensions brewing within the Coalition itself. These tensions would gradually increase during the 1970s, leading to an eventual breakdown of the Coalition in early 1983. The third Bjelke-Petersen ministry was sworn in on 20 June. It consisted of 14 ministers, again split eight to the Country Party and six to the Liberals. The Transport Minister, Bill Knox, a businessman by profession, was promoted to the vacant Attorney-General’s portfolio. Vic Sullivan took over the vacant Primary Industries portfolio and two new members were elevated into the ministry: Keith Hooper (Lib., Greenslopes) and Henry McKechnie (CP, Carnarvon).
