The Coalition parties’ share of the vote puts them within reach of victory, but the way in which they work towards the next election—particularly in the area of policy development—will be crucial to them if they are to succeed.

  • Abolition of the Upper House Community Engagement – Updated 27 March 2001
    Abolition of the Upper House Community Engagement – Updated 27 March 2001 THE ABOLITION OF THE UPPER HOUSE IN QUEENSLAND INTRODUCTION Unicameral legislatures, or legislatures with only one chamber, are uncommon in democracies. It is usually considered that two chambers are necessary for government, and this is the case for the United Kingdom, Canada (at the Federal level) and the United States (Federally, and for all states except Nebraska.) However, some countries, usually small ones, are unicameral. Israel, Denmark, Finland, Luxembourg, Sweden, and Greece have only one chamber. All the Canadian Provinces, all the Malaysian States and some of the Indian ones, including Assam, are unicameral. Other single-chambered legislatures in the Commonwealth include New Zealand, Ghana, Cyprus, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Malta, Malawi, Zambia, Gambia, Guyana, Singapore, Botswana, Zimbabwe and (Western) Samoa. In Australia, the Federal Government has two chambers, as do the governments of all the states, except Queensland. At its separation from New South Wales in 1859, Queensland had two houses of Parliament, the Legislative Assembly and the Legislative Council. But in a move unique in Australian history, the Legislative Council abolished itself. EARLY DAYS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL, 1860-1890 Queensland, separated from New South Wales in 1859, was the only colony to have a Parliament from its inception. When the Parliament of Queensland was first promulgated in 1860, there were two houses of Parliament. The first members of the Upper House, the Legislative Council, were appointed for five years by the Governor of New South Wales, so that Queensland would not be left permanently with nominees from the Governor of another colony.

  • An Industry Policy for Queensland Boreham & Salisbury TJ Ryan
    policy brief An Industry Policy for Queensland Professor Paul Boreham Emeritus Professor Institute for Social Science Research The University of Queensland Contact: https://www.issr.uq.edu.au/staff/boreham-paul Dr Chris Salisbury Research Associate Institute for Social Science Research The University of Queensland Contact: http://researchers.uq.edu.au/researcher/10581 An Industry Policy for Queensland 1 TJ Ryan Foundation Policy Brief 02 2 Aug 2016 An Industry Policy for Queensland Paul Boreham & Chris Salisbury any countries are pursuing innovation-led industry policies engaging in long-run M strategic investments to create and shape industry trajectories rather than just responding to problems of industry decline. This has required public agencies to lead and direct the creation of new technological opportunities and innovations. The predictable response from bureaucrats and politicians steeped in economic liberalism (that industry policy is not an appropriate instrument of public policy) must face rebuttal as both economically ill-informed and unjustified by evidence. This paper provides an overview of the key issues exemplifying the development of industry policy in many of the advanced economies and draws an outline map of how they might be applied to the Queensland economy. Introduction The structure of the Queensland economy has changed significantly in the past decade. Manufacturing, as a component of Gross State Product, has declined from 10.4 per cent in 2004-5 to 7.2 per cent in 2014-5. The sector’s contribution to State employment has declined from 10 per cent to 7.2 per cent. Likewise, mining’s contribution to Gross State Product has fallen from a peak of 14.8 per cent in 2008-9 to 7.3 per cent in 2014-5 while its contribution to employment has increased only slightly from 2 per cent to 2.8 per cent.

    Early History of the City of Redcliffe Chess Club. Chess in the wilderness of the Redcliffe Peninsula was hampered by the presence of Bramble Bay, the Pine River and mangrove swamps which cut off Redcliffe from civilized Brisbane where chess clubs abounded. There was a long way via Petrie that was subject to closure by flooding. To make the boat trip you boarded the Olivine at Sandgate or used smoke and mirrors to whistle up Charles and Martha Cutts to row you across. A Pleasant Outing for the Brisbane City Chess club 1922. “Another of those enjoyable little outings of the City Club took place on Monday at Seacamp, Redcliffe when the B Grade team were the guests of Mr Thomas Podmore. ( CAQ President in 1917) A scratch match was played, “Seacamp” v “Freenezy” the team representing the former winning by 2½ games to ½ After dinner, motoring, bathing, cricket and sundry other sports were indulged in. The voyage home per Olivine was somewhat adventurous by reason of a small mishap in the shape of a rope fouling the propeller of the boat.
