Capturing an important day in the life of a community, a photograph from the author’s family collection records a group that has gathered to welcome the Italian aviator Francesco De Pinedo to Innisfail in 1925. De Pinedo’s record-breaking 55,000-kilometre flight from Rome to Tokyo via Australia and back was an extraordinary feat, and a demonstration of Italian technological advancement and participation in the drive towards global connectivity of those times. He had been feted by the public and dignitaries, including the Prime Minister, at each stage of his journey around Australia. But the photograph reveals much more. De Pinedo’s visit was particularly welcome where Italians were denigrated and viewed with suspicion. At the time, there was unrest about the impact of ‘foreign’ – specifically Italian – immigration in North Queensland, to provide labour for its sugar industry. The men in the photograph were among the leaders of the North Queensland Italian communities, and three of them had been invited as witnesses before the Ferry Royal Commission just months earlier. The Commission was set up to investigate attitudes towards the increasing numbers of Italians, and those views were to result in widespread internment of North Queensland Italians during World War II. All but two of the Italian leaders photographed were interned. This article situates the personal histories and contributions of these individuals within their historical circumstances.

The story of colonial expansion has often been entwined with the social and health impact of syphilis. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of syphilis (in its primary, secondary and tertiary forms) on hospital admissions and individual patients in Queensland in the pre-antibiotic era. This article centres on available hospital patient records for the years 1880–1920, stored at the Queensland State Archives. From these records, 220 cases of syphilis were retrieved, the majority diagnosed as primary-stage infections. Overall, it was found that the number of deaths from syphilis in its tertiary form was not significant compared with other causes of death in that period. The perception of colonial syphilis as highly prevalent and a serious threat to the population is not supported by our review of hospital records, which suggests that its reputation in relation to its social implications exceeded the evidence of its prevalence.

My earliest memories are of 39 Juliet Street, Mackay. The house was built in the 1920s, my parents bought it in 1949 and it was sold after my father’s death in 1998. I have positioned the house within the environment and architecture of North Queensland, and particularly the town of Mackay. Changes are illustrated and dated through the inclusion of some family photographs, which double as a pictorial history of a Queensland family between the 1950s and 1970s. We all think of ourselves as part of families, but when one house contains a family over decades, it too is part of the upbringing. The essay begins with a discussion of North Queensland houses – ‘Queenslanders’, as they were known – and the weather conditions that influenced their architecture. This is followed by a description of the house and its immediate neighbourhood, the uses made of the upstairs and the downstairs areas, and 1960s renovations. My parents are described, along with our means of transport, the Protestant–Catholic divide of the 1950s and 1960s, and my upbringing and that of my brother and sister. The article also discusses holidays, schooling and discovering the world beyond Mackay.

This article provides a summary history and critique of the Queensland experience of restorative justice for adult offenders, with a focus on policy development and program implementation. It aims to identify key lessons to improve policy and implementation that may be transferrable to similar jurisdictions. Public source material was analysed to identify significant moments of change, including the launch of programs, the political rhetoric and commentary, as well as key activity data (e.g. referral rates). Results identified a significant lack of program uptake, with limited referral rates hindering the utilisation of restorative justice as an effective diversionary mechanism for adult offending in Queensland. In terms of both diversion and prevention, the study was restricted by a lack of data, indicating a significant practice and research gap, hence the need for enhanced research, increased application and greater transparency. Combined with a review of the literature, the results suggest the need for a greater focus on the welfare needs of victims and offenders to improve client and program outcomes, and reduce reoffending.

After the Queensland state election of October 2020, many hailed the win for Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk’s government as a landmark victory. Principally, that win made Palaszczuk the most electorally successful female leader in Australian politics. It also cemented her position among the ranks of leading Labor figures in Queensland’s political annals. What, then, might Palaszczuk’s appeal and longevity as Labor leader and Premier signify in terms of her political achievements and record in government? This article offers a brief appraisal of Palaszczuk’s standing and leadership compared with recent Labor predecessors, who similarly won multiple terms in office in this state.
