Queenslander!
Q150 celebrates the 150 years since Queensland forged its own identity, after Queen Victoria signed Letters Patent separating Queensland from the colony of New South Wales. On June 6, 1859, an Order-in-Council established representative government in Queensland.
Maybe an upper house would be in order for the state... for a start.
Ho-Hum. Ha!
Anyway, let us all hope Professor Peter Coaldrake knows how to deal with controversial issues. Prof Coaldrake was handed the advisory role to Queensland Premier Anna Bligh in regards to Q150 and his role has been loosely defined as a review as to what has "gone on" with preparations for the state's sesquicentenary.
Slightly worrying, considering the tracing of some suspicious roots of this issue back to Marion McMahon's CMC investigation and temporary suspension without pay on November 2007..

Great point on an upper house. Unicameral systems (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicameral) like QLD are just asking to be abused. Just ask the children u north.
Hmmm, seems a bit dodgy. I remember Fitzgerald and Beattie running up the flag pole. McMahon has a CMC inquiry above her???? Didn't know that.
