Queenslanders for Constitutional Monarchy QCM People CR THE HON YVONNE CHAPMAN, of Kallangur, Qld is a foundation patron and president and one of the key-note speakers who launched QCM a decade ago at the Kedron-Wavell RSL in Chermside, Q., when the Australian flag was raised and a solemn declaration was taken to defeat the republican-socialist push.

MICHAEL DARBY, of Manly, NSW, is QCMs inaugural web master, and chaired QCM’s giant 1999 referendum launch and rally in Brisbane, which led to the defeat of the elitist republican push later that year. It was Mr. Darby who first urged monarchists in Brisbane to organise QCM as a fighting movement to defeat republican ambitions in Qld. As a consequence, this State led the nation and other States in rejecting republican schemes to dismantle the constitution. Queenslanders for Constitutional Monarchy QCM People PASTOR DAVID DOUGLAS, of Slacks Creek, Q., is a past QCM president, who has vigorously campaigned for the constitutional monarchy in a number of capacities.

BRUCE RUXTON, OBE, AM., Legion d’Honneur, of Tewantin, Q., is an inaugural patron of QCM from interstate, where many know him as “Mr. RSL” because of his decades of selfless service to defence interests, RSL, and veteran organisations and their families.

  • Australian Native Plants Society Conference
    1 AUSTRALIAN NATIVE PLANTS SOCIETY NATIONAL CONFERENCE SPEECH BY HER EXCELLENCY PROFESSOR THE HONOURABLE KATE WARNER AC GOVERNOR OF TASMANIA WREST POINT, SANDY BAY, MONDAY 15 JANUARY 2018 Good morning delegates, and thank you for inviting me to open the Australian Native Plants Society national conference. I begin today by paying my respects to the Mouheneener people, the traditional and original owners of this land ̶ those who have passed before us; and in acknowledgement of today’s Tasmanian Aboriginal community, being the custodians of this land. I am informed that your conference is a biennial event that brings you together from all around Australia and that there a few delegates from overseas too.1 I wish to warmly welcome all of you to Tasmania and I do hope you get a chance to explore our beautiful island while you are here. I know that there are excursions during the conference and also pre- and post conference excursions for delegates. There is so much to see. I am a keen bushwalker and like many Tasmanians have walked the overland track, including climbing Pelion West and Mt Oakleigh and marvelled at the wonderful flora which provided a welcome distraction during those, for me, quite challenging climbs. And I have also enjoyed the four-day Freycinet Experience walk in Spring with Sib Corbett as a guide explaining the flora and finding and identifying native orchids for us. I understand that Sib designed the Tasmanian section of the Botanical Gardens here in Hobart. And I can see from your program that Dr Keith Corbett is presenting about the Tasmanian Bushland Garden near Buckland, NE of Hobart, which I can strongly recommend.

  • The Utilization of Truganini's Human Remains in Colonial Tasmania

History of Anthropology Newsletter 39.1 (June 2012) / 3 1 The Utilization of Truganini’s Human Remains in Colonial Tasmania Antje Kühnast, University of New South Wales, [email protected] Between 1904 and 1947, visitors to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery in Hobart who stepped into the Aboriginal exhibition room were instantly confronted with the death of their colony’s indigenous population—or so they were led to believe. Their gaze encountered a glass case presenting the skeleton of “Truganini, The Last Tasmanian Aboriginal” (advertisement, June 24, 1905). Also known as “Queen Truganini” at her older age, representations of her reflect the many, often contradictory, interpretations of her life and agency in colonial Tasmania. She has been depicted as selfish collaborator with the colonizer, savvy savior of her race, callous resistance fighter, promiscuous prostitute who preferred whites instead of her “own” men (e.g. Rae-Ellis, 1981), and “symbol for struggle and survival” (Ryan, 1996).

  • Governors, Democracy and the Rule of Law His Excellency the Honourable Sir Guy S Green AC KBE
    Governors, Democracy and the Rule of Law His Excellency the Honourable Sir Guy S Green AC KBE Former Governor of Tasmania 29 October 1999 Menzies Oration on Higher Education Constitutional reform is a serious matter. Unlike ordinary law reform whose effects are confined to specific areas and which may be modified or repealed if it turns out to have been ill-advised, constitutional reform impacts upon the entire system of law and government and is virtually irreversible. It follows that we have an obligation not only to ourselves but to our descendants to consider any proposals to change the constitution of the Commonwealth or a State rationally, deliberately and with a complete understanding of the nature of that which is being changed and of what the consequences of the change will be. There is currently before the Australian people a proposal to sever the remaining links between the Crown and the Commonwealth of Australia and in due course some or all of the States may consider taking a similar step.1 Merely severing the links between the Crown and the Commonwealth or the States although a very significant step in other respects would not entail great constitutional change. As a result of a succession of constitutional developments culminating in the Australia Acts 1986 it can now be said that virtually all the powers and functions of Governors-General and Governors are derived from the constitutions and laws of the Commonwealth and the States not from the fact that Vice-Regal officers nominally represent the Crown. So severing our links with the Crown would mean that the present holders of Vice-Regal office would no longer be appointed by or represent the Crown but would not of itself require any other change to their functions.

  • "HISTORY on a HILL" a Notable Pilgrimage Through the Annals of Memory and Time [By NORMAN S
    PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS "HISTORY ON A HILL" A Notable Pilgrimage Through the Annals of Memory and Time [By NORMAN S. PIXLEY, C.M.G., M.B.E., V.R.D., Kt.O.N., F.R.Hist.S.Q.] (Read at a Meeting of the Society on 24 September 1970.) In a commanding position at Toowong Cemetery on the hill which faces the main gate, rises a tall slender column fashioned somewhat in the form of a minaret. Mounted on a base, it dominates the scene and marks the grave of Queensland's second Governor, Samuel Wensley Blackall. In a semi-circle with a radius of no more than twenty paces from this monument, rest some whose names feature prominently in the history of the Colony of Queensland. One of the verses in Grey's beautiful Elegy Written in the Country Churchyard of Stoke Poges reads:— "Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid some heart Once pregnant with celestial fire. Hands that the rod of empire might have swayed Or waked to ecstasy the living lyre". But with those who He within this small area on the hill at Toowong the stones which mark their resting places tell us who they were, also in some cases briefly what they did and one who wishes may find out more about them by researching through the records of the Colony. After reaching the top of the hill by a winding road, the grave of Governor Blackall is approached from the rear, passing on the left the first of the graves on the perimeter. To these we will return later, pausing at each in sequence to record the inscriptions and perhaps to soliloquize for a space.
