Abstract This article examines the significant place of the 99th (Lanarkshire) Regiment of Foot as part of the shared history of Australia and New Zealand through the 1840s and 1850s, including its role in frontier conflict with Aboriginal peoples in Queensland and Māori peoples in New Zealand. This preliminary comparison explores the role and experiences of detachments of the British Army’s 99th Regiment on three different colonial frontiers during the 1840s transitional period: the end of convict transportation and the opening of free settlement in Moreton Bay in 1842–48; the short-lived North Australia colony (later Gladstone) in 1847; and New Zealand’s North Island in 1845–47.

On 4 April 2018, some 35,000 people jammed into Carrara Stadium on Queensland’s Gold Coast to see athletes from seventy-one nations march in to the Opening Ceremony of the 21st Commonwealth Games. It was a beautiful Gold Coast day and signalled the start to eleven days of competition across venues from Cairns in the north of Queensland to Coolangatta on the southern border with New South Wales. It was also the culmination of a ten-year journey that had started back in 2008 when Premier Anna Bligh mooted the suggestion of bringing the Games to the Gold Coast as a means of reviving and transforming a Gold Coast economy that had been badly affected by the Global Financial Crisis. Ten years later, more than 1.2 million spectators filled stadia and other venues as Queenslanders and visitors from interstate and overseas rode trains and buses to see colourful competitions in eighteen different sports and twenty-six different disciplines. In addition, many thousands of hours of television coverage reached a global audience estimated to be 1.5 billion. As a sporting spectacle, the Gold Coast Games were an undoubted success with several world records broken and a large number of Commonwealth records shattered. And notwithstanding understandable complaints about transport difficulties following the Opening Ceremony, the Games went off pretty much without a hitch. There were no major incidents or accidents, athletes were very happy and spectators went home satisfied with seeing spectacular events in excellent conditions. It was the second time the Commonwealth Games had come to Queensland, the first being in Brisbane back in 1982, and the fifth time in Australia – which has always hosted successful Games. Indeed, it had only been twelve years since the Games were last in Australia, hosted by Melbourne. However, this time the Games were hosted by a much smaller regional city in Australia, and they came to the Gold Coast not long after the problematic experience of the Delhi Games in 2010, when many leading athletes decided not to compete and venues were barely finished when competition was about to start. While the success of the Glasgow Games in 2014 certainly contributed significantly to recovering the reputation and image of the Commonwealth Games, according to its inaugural chairman Mark Stockwell, the Gold Coast Games had ‘a bit more riding on its success than has previously been the case : : : as much for the Commonwealth Games [movement] as for the Gold

Abstract The Battle of ’Narawai on North Stradbroke Island, and skirmishes that culminated in this event (c. 1827–32) have been sidelined in recent decades, based on the assumption that the event was more likely a massacre, and that sources are too conflicted to build a workable narrative. Here we utilise known and unexamined sources, and the untapped oral tradition and environmental knowledge of Stradbroke Island Aboriginal peoples, to reconstruct both the build-up and phases of the confrontation. We find that our primary sources for this incident ultimately derive from Aboriginal informants; together with current Aboriginal perspectives, these allow a more nuanced and Aboriginal-driven narrative than is normally possible for a frontier wars skirmish. It is argued that the Battle of ’Narawai was not a one-sided massacre but rather a well-planned operation by Aboriginal combatants, orchestrated to provide tactical advantages. We contend that the battle merged tactics of traditional pullen-pullen (inter-tribal tournaments) with strategies more suited to the demands of the frontier wars, and that it was perceived as a victory by Aboriginal Stradbroke Islanders.

Abstract English common law was applied in the New South Wales penal colony when it was founded by Governor Arthur Phillip in 1788. Phillip’s second commission granted him sole authority to appoint coroners and justices of the peace within the colony. The first paid city coroner was appointed in 1810 and only five coroners served the expanding territory of New South Wales by 1821. To relieve the burden on coroners, justices of the peace were authorised to conduct magisterial inquiries as an alternative to inquests. When the Moreton Bay settlement was established, and land was opened up to free settlers, justices were relocated from New South Wales to the far northern colony. Nonetheless, the administration of justice, along with the function of the coroner, was hindered by issues of isolation, geography and poor administration by a government far removed from the evolving settlement. This article is about death investigation and the role of the coroner in Moreton Bay. By examining a number of case studies, it looks at the constraints faced by coroners, deaths due to interracial violence and deaths not investigated. It concludes that not all violent and unexplained deaths were investigated in accordance with coronial law due to a paucity of legally qualified magistrates, the physical limitations of local conditions and the denial of justice to Aborigines as subjects of the Crown.

Abstract The Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games presented the host city with a number of opportunities to improve its infrastructure and sporting facilities in line with its long-term strategic vision to transition to being a more mature and sustainable Australian city. However, major events such as the Commonwealth Games have a chequered history of bestowing lasting benefits and a positive legacy on the host city. This article examines the ways in which infrastructure planning for the 2018 Games was used to underpin the success experienced by the Gold Coast in harnessing the event to achieve broader city building objectives. It also reflects critically on how major event-led development can be used to support existing strategic city plans.

Abstract This article consolidates the pros and cons of the two common modelling techniques for economic impact analysis: the input–output multiplier and the computable general equilibrium (CGE) technique. The latter is recommended for large event assessment and was used to examine the economic impacts of the Gold Coast 2018 Commonwealth Games. The Games is estimated to have generated approximately A$2.5 billion of gross state product (GSP) to Queensland after netting out the costs incurred. The effect is spread over a period of nine years from pre-Games period of preparation for the Games, through the Games period itself, and then rather significantly in the post-Games period. While benefits accrue to Queensland, the rest of Australia is estimated to lose due to the so-called ‘crowding out effect’.
