The History of the Queensland Parliament, 1957–1989
8. The early Bjelke-Petersen years, 1968-1969 The ‘swinging Sixties’ was a time of cultural change and challenge to the Establishment. Political protests and popular dissent took on a generational schism; social movements and mass demonstrations were inflamed by a distrust of government and a resistance to conscription and the Vietnam War. The ‘New Left’ was on the rise in university campuses. Student liberation seemed a potent force. ‘Drop-outs’ were in; hippies and flower power spread across the globe; and the drug culture and rock music became palliatives to the disenchanted. Assertive slogans came to symbolise a new generation: ‘do it’, ‘free love’, ‘peace’, ‘make love, not war’. Meanwhile, in 1968, Czechoslovakia had been invaded by the Soviets, Paris was in turmoil with strikes and student protests, the Kennedy brothers and Martin Luther King, jr, had been assassinated and the Americans were preparing to land on the Moon. Pop songs plugged away at the themes of revolution, street-fighting men, the Age of Aquarius and emphasising the ‘times they are-a-changing’. If Australia was somewhat shielded from the extremes of the 1960s, a postwar generation had now enjoyed full employment and come to expect a high standard of living as a right. The home, the Holden car and the Hills hoist were among life’s little staples. The children born in the years after the war formed a huge wave of ‘baby boomers’ who by this time were entering adulthood and exercising their political expression and numerical strength. In the social uncertainty and political turmoil of the late 1960s, Queensland appointed an abstemious, god-fearing Lutheran to lead the state into the 1970s. -
