    AN EXAMINATION OF HOW THE MILITARY, THE CONSERVATIVE PRESS AND MINISTERIALIST POLITICIANS GENERATED SUPPORT WITHIN QUEENSLAND FOR THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA IN 1899 AND 1900 Margaret Jean Klaassen ASDA, ATCL, LTCL, FTCL, BA 1988 Triple Majors: Education, English & History, University of Auckland. The University Prize in Education of Adults awarded by the Council of the University of Auckland, 1985. Submitted in full requirement for the degree of Master of Arts (Research) Division of Research & Commercialisation Queensland University of Technology 2014 Keywords Anglo-Boer War, Boer, Brisbane Courier, Dawson, Dickson, Kitchener, Kruger, Orange Free State, Philp, Queensland, Queenslander, Transvaal, War. ii Abstract This thesis examines the myth that Queensland was the first colonial government to offer troops to support England in the fight against the Boers in the Transvaal and Orange Free State in 1899. The offer was unconstitutional because on 10 July 1899, the Premier made it in response to a request from the Commandant and senior officers of the Queensland Defence Force that ‘in the event of war breaking out in South Africa the Colony of Queensland could send a contingent of troops and a machine gun’. War was not declared until 10 October 1899. Under Westminster government conventions, the Commandant’s request for military intervention in an overseas war should have been discussed by the elected legislators in the House. However, Parliament had gone into recess on 24 June following the Federation debate. During the critical 10-week period, the politicians were in their electorates preparing for the Federation Referendum on 2 September 1899, after which Parliament would resume.

  • SIR ARTHUR MORGAN: the SOCIETY's FIRST PRESIDENT by XORMAX S
    11 SIR ARTHUR MORGAN: THE SOCIETY'S FIRST PRESIDENT by XORMAX S. PIXLEY President of the Royal Historical Society of Queensland Presented at the Annual Meeting of the Society at Seivstead House 28 September 1978. One might expect that a family with the name of Morgan would have had its origin in Wales, but whatever there may have been in deeper connection, James Morgan, the father of Sir Arthur, was born at Longford, Ireland in 1816. He studied as a surveyor and spent three years on survey work in Wales before emigrating to Sydney in 1840. For the next seven years he was engaged in station work and managed a property on the Xamoi River for W. C. Wentworth. Then, coming to the Darling Downs late in 1849, he undertook the management of Old Talgai for the Gammie brothers. In 1856 he took charge of Rosenthal for the North British Australian Company. Rosenthal was the southern strip of the original holding of the Leslie brothers and played a leading role in Queensland's earliest pastoral history. James Morgan's stay at Rosenthal was short — little more than a year — before he went across to form the North Toolburra Sta­ tion holding for R. G. Massie, who, incidentallv, was one of the originally nominated Legislative Councillors for Queensland after separation in 1859. But the brief stay at Rosenthal is notable for the fact that it was there, on 19 September 1856 that Arthur Morgan, the future Premier and Lieutenant-Governor was born. Other events in the father's life were to shape the destinv of the young Arthur.

  • First Placegetters in the Queensland Scholarship Examination 1873-1962
    Promising lives: First placegetters in the Queensland Scholarship examination 1873-1962 A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the School of History, Philosophy, Religion and Classics at the University of Queensland in December 2006. Marion Elizabeth Mackenzie BA, BSW, PGDip(Arts) Statement of originality I certify that this thesis is original and my own work, except where the work of others is quoted and acknowledged as such in the text. This material has not been submitted, either in whole or in part, for a degree at this or any other university. Abstract The Scholarship was an external examination held at the end of primary school when students were generally aged thirteen or fourteen. It dominated Queensland education for ninety years from 1873 until 1962. For much of that period, passing the examination was the only opportunity for most children to enter secondary education. It was at first a competitive examination for limited places in the early grammar schools, and later a qualifying examination for entrance to any secondary school. The principal focus of this thesis is the early promise displayed by 186 young Queenslanders who were ranked first in the state in the examination. It draws conclusions about the impact of education on individuals and society through longitudinal research, by examining the influence of family, school, community attitudes, world events and personal choices on the outcomes for those successful students. It investigates how early success was translated into their later lives, how they dealt with the opportunities and barriers they encountered, whether females and males had different outcomes, and in what ways they differed from their peers.

  • Queensland Women and Their Struggle for the Political Franchise, 1889-1905
    'Coppertails and Silvertails': Queensland Women and Their Struggle for the Political Franchise, 1889-1905 Jessica Paten Sides have now been taken. The temperance women will have a skirmish of their own for any stray man with no beer stains on his tie, but Miriam's loud timbrel has sounded for the battle royal between Labour and Government women — coppertails and silvertails!1 This call to arms sounded by the Worker towards the close of the campaign for womanhood suffrage in Queensland captured well the class antagonism that prevailed within the movement. At this late stage, there was little chance that the conflicting elements within the movement could put aside their differences and unite in a concerted effort to secure the female franchise. To all intents and purposes, the struggle for womanhood suffrage had become a class war. This study explores the nature of the womanhood suffrage movement in Queensland from its faltering beginnings in 1889 to the period leading to the attainment of the female franchise for white women in 1905. It primarily addresses how class-related issues dominated the movement from the outset, causing internal division which hampered its ultimate effectiveness. More specifically, it uncovers how the terms on which the vote would be sought came to assume greater importance in the campaign than the actual achievement of the vote itself. This requires first an examination of those factors comprising the 'Queensland difference', which contributed to the delayed development of a womanhood suffrage movement in the colony, as well as the motivations for its eventual rise. It then undertakes an exploration of the campaign itself, which spanned three distinct periods of organisation.

  • A Brief Account of the Life and Times of the Honourable Sir James William Blair, K.C.M.G
    80 (All Rights Reserved) A Brief Account of the Life and Times of The Honourable Sir James William Blair, K.C.M.G. Chief Justice of Queensland by J. C. H. GILL, M.B.E., B.A., LL.B., F.R. HIST. S.Q. Read at a General Meeting of The Royal Historical Society of Queensland on Thursday 28 July 1977. During the last two decades of the nineteenth century, the English-born immigrants who had dominated public life in the first 20 years of Queensland's existence as a separate colony began to give way to the first generation of native-born sons. Not that native-born Queenslanders had the field exclusively; young men from the older colonies also came on to the Queensland scene. One of these was Pope Alexander Cooper, born in New South Wales at Lake George on 12 May 1846(1). Parliamentarian then Judge, later knighted, he was the first Australian-born Chief Justice of Queensland. But we digress. One characteristic all these men had in com­ mon was their comparative youth when they first achieved pro­ minence in public life. Pope Cooper was Attorney General in his early thirties and a judge before the age of 40. James Howard Gill became Crown Solicitor at the age of twenty-seven(2). Thomas Joseph Byrnes was Solicitor General before he was 30, then Attorney General followed by a brief Premiership of five months before his death at the age of 37.0) The subject of this paper, James William Blair, followed the example of his distinguished predecessors in that he first achieved prominence at an early age.

  • Thirteen Minutes of the Warwick Egg National Incident, Glory
    Thirteen Minutes of National Glory The Warwick Egg Incident, 1917 by D. ]. Murphy, Dip. Phys. Ed., A. Ed., B.A., Ph.D. * Warwick is situated on the southern Darling Downs 250 who adopted a very partisan and pro-conscription stand during the kilometres by rail from Brisbane. It was one of the centres that War, seemed to develop an obsession about political opponents of produced the 'Darling Downs bunch' in Queensland politics. This Irish stock. Munro-Ferguson wrote to the British Colonial Secretary, was a group of liberals, associated with Samuel Griffith 1, who Bonar Law, in March 1917 : later were to be part of the lib-lab coalition formed in 1903 between The Irish Roman Catholics are particularly strong in New Sir Arthur Morgan 2 and William Browne 3, leader of the Labor South Wales and Queensland, the government of the latter Party. In the more fluid political environment before World War state being in their hands. 9 I, Warwick had numbered among its parliamentary representatives T. ]. Byrnes 4, a Premier and Attorney-General and Thomas Munro-Ferguson and Hughes collaborated more closely than O'Sullivan 5 also an Attorney-General. It was a place of some possibly any other Governor General and Prime Minister. From local importance in southern Queensland, with a higher percentage Munro-Ferguson's correspondence to Hughes, to the British of Irish Catholics among its surrounding farmers, and in its government and to the King, it is clear that he regarded Irish townspeople, than the State average and was one of the major Catholics as being not only disloyal to the Empire, but also sub­ stations on the Brisbane to Sydney railway line via Wallangarra.

  • Domesticity and Upholding the Faith
    235 Chapter 6 Women’s Business: Domesticity and Upholding the Faith Oh, I wish I was married and had a comfortable home and mama could live with me in peace and rest where I could repay her back all her kindness. This is my great wish in life, this is what I pray for night and morning, and patiently I try and wait God’s time in fulfilling my prayer. From Blanche Mitchell’s Diary; Friday 21 September 1866. I know that my horror at the idea of bringing a human creature into the world is morbid and unnatural but not the less can I overcome it. I do indeed lose all fear of gallows and handcuffs &c when the baby is once born. I cannot look into the innocent little face and connect it with such a future, but the sense of a dreadful responsibility remains [a] feeling of having invested heavily [in] something from which it is beyond your power to sell out, turn out how it will. You have brought a life into an uncertain world of wrecks and disease and dynamite explosions. Your heart’s love is irrevocably invested in that life. Nora Murray Prior to Rosa Praed, 15 June 1884. 236 uch has been written about women’s lives in both nineteenth century England and in colonial Australia, and though the concept of separate Mspheres for describing the lives of men and women in the period has come under criticism, it still has useful explanatory power.
