He established Jondaryan station on the Darling Downs and was Chairman of the Sherwood Division in 1902. From 1955-1962, this large property of 12.4 hectares was acquired by the Provincial of the Congregation of the Passion in Australasia. It is now used as a retreat centre and home for the Passionist Fathers in Queensland. History In 1865, Henry Coxen purchased 24 acres and 1 rood of riverfront land at Oxley with William Sim for £59 15s. In 1866, Coxen became the sole owner of the land. Coxen added to his property at Oxley in 1870 when he purchased an adjoining 8 acres, and again in 1883 when he purchased another eight acres of riverfront land. Coxen moved with his wife and four children to Oxley in 1880 when he was 57 years old. He probably built this house in the early 1880s, as he was Chairman of the Yeerongpilly Divisional Board (similar to a shire council) in 1887.

  • 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.

Y.M. (Anne) McLay. Now - as in his lifetime - Bishop James Quinn is a controversial, and to many an unattractive, though highly significant figure of the foundation years of the Catholic Church in Queensland. My interest was aroused in discovering his true personality through my work in the history of Catholic education in this State, especially that of Mother Vincent Whitty and the first Sisters of Mercy. After several years of research I am still ambivalent towards him. I feel, however, this ambivalence is due to the paradoxes inherent in his personality rather than to any deficiency in my research. I have tried to show in this thesis the complexity of his character that these paradoxes caused. Bishop Quinn died in 1881, but the foundations of his work in Queensland were laid by 1875. To appreciate the shape of the Church that soared grandly from these foundations, to understand the conflict and the turmoil that surrounded the man and his creation, the bishop must be first seen in his original environment, Ireland and Rome.

  • Parliamentary Chronicles
    PARLIAMENTARY CHRONICLES ‘FROM THE TABLES’ A round-up of administrative and procedural developments in the Australasian Parliaments — October 2010 to March 2011 Robyn Smith* The Australian Parliament The hung parliament following the August 2010 federal election resulted in yet more ‘parliamentary agreements’ (the primary one being called the ‘Parliamentary Reform Agreement’) in Australia and changes to a range of parliamentary business, including Private Members’ Business, a reduction in the number and membership composition of General Purpose Standing Committees in the House of Repres- entatives, the establishment of a Regional Australia Committee, a revived Selection Committee to which more bills will be referred and a change of Chair of the Joint Committee on Public Accounts from a Government to an Independent Member. The number of Joint Standing Committees has not changed, but there has been an increase in the number of Joint Select Committees. The Joint Select Committee on Cyber Safety has been reinstated and two new committees on Gambling Reform and a Parliamentary Budget Office have been established. The House has also established an Appropriations and Administration Committee which will be chaired by the Speaker and which is intended to assist in the appropriation of budget funds for the Department of Parliamentary Services. Question Time has been considerably tightened under the Parliamentary Reform Agreement. Time limits have been introduced: a global limit of 90 minutes; 45 seconds for a question; and four minutes for an answer. Further, there is now a requirement that answers must be directly relevant to the question. Standing Orders have been amended to provide for one point of order only on the matter of relevance per answer.

  • Lennon Heritage Places in Queensland Heritage
    Lennon Heritage places in Queensland Heritage Places in Queensland Jane Lennon For millennia people have left their mark on the land - scarred trees, handprints, rock art, shell middens. This urge to leave a sign of passing, of occupation, is strong in most cultures. These often accidental marks are today's heritage, the physical legacy of previous generations. From the historical date of some events and records of what happened on that date in a specific place, we can construct an account of its history. By examining the evidence left at the place as well as this record of history, we can determine its cultural significance to people today; that is, we create its heritage. A timeline of European events of historical significance to Queensland by century is presented in Appendix 1. The exploration of Terra Australis by mariners is the preoccupation of the first two centuries, until John Oxiey's survey in 1823. The convict era commenced in 1824 and ran until 1840, when free settlement brought an extensive if tenuous occupation to the southeast of today's Queensland and wider pastoral exploration began. After 30 years of European settlement, Brisbane was perceived as a 'sleepy hollow' and in 1854 there were complaints of dilapidated government buildings and services, but brick houses were being erected in North Quay and immigrants were establishing a thriving village in Fortitude Valley.^ By 1859 there were about 28,000 Queenslanders of European origin, half located in the country north to Rockhampton and half divided between Brisbane, Ipswich and smaller provincial towns. Following separation from New South Wales, the new colony set about establishing its mark in land surveys, marking out freehold, roads, railways and other utilitarian reserves.

  • Freemasons and Freemasonry in Queensland: 1859-1989 by Dave Lauder to the Historian, Fact Must Precede Inference and Opinion
    33 Freemasons and Freemasonry in Queensland: 1859-1989 by Dave Lauder To the historian, fact must precede inference and opinion. In reading historical works of Queensland, the author has often noted incorrect statements and omissions about the Masonic ranks and details of the men who are the subject of this paper. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to provide a concise document outlining the history, structure and, more importantly, the people who have led Freemasonry in Queensland from 1859 untU the present. It is not without a feeling of deja-vu, that on reading a recent paper (Biskup, 1988) in this Journal, that the names of Sir Arthur Morgan, J.F.G. Foxton, John Oxley, WUUam Jolly and Sir Leslie WUson aU appeared — and all are instantly recognisable to a Masonic historian as Freemasons. Whilst a lot of detail covered in this paper is available in Richards (1959), that work is scanty on detail of Scottish Freemasonry, as the relevant records were missing at the time of Richards' compUation. Irish and EngUsh Freemasomy in Queensland have been well documented in Harley (c.l930) and Fowles and White (1909) respectively. Freemasonry may be simply described as a fraternal association of men, based on the principles of brotherly love, relief and truth. Membership in Australia is open to all men who profess a belief in a Supreme Being and are of good character. Contrary to a popular urban myth, and on the basis of the above definition, the association is not anti-Catholic. However, the existence of atheist forms of Freemasonry in Europe provoked the hostility of the Roman Catholic Church from 1738.
