Learn how Queensland was turned into a Dictatorship and what political party was responsible.

 I am committed to the reinstatement of the upper house in the QLD Parliament so that No Party has total control on legislation without it being reviewed by the upper house.

Why is Queensland the only state in Australia without an upper house?

Well, we did have one years ago, in fact up until 1922.

Even though the people via a state referendum in 1917 voted overwhelmingly against the closure of the Upper House the Labor government of 1922 proceed to go against the will of the people and close the Upper House.

While the QLD Governor was absent the Premier Ted Theodore made the speaker of the house the Lt Governor and then the upper house was stacked with members of the same thinking and beyond all belief all of those members voted themselves out of office with enormous benefits that encouraged them to go.

Now we can reinstate the upper house all the framework is still in place and it can happen in one single day. The legislative framework is still in place and we badly need to restore the upper house in Queensland in order to have a house of review as every other Australian state has.

Then and only then will we have some balance of power in the Queensland Parliament but also transparency and accountability. No more sneaky changes to legislation in the late of the night, as the Upper house is the house of review and takes away total absolute power.

Only Independents can restore the Upper House in Queensland. The Major party's all want complete power when they win office which is currently keeping Queensland under a Dictatorship rule.

I will commit to return this State of Dictatorship back to a Free State governed by the people for the people via the reinstatement  of the Qld State upper house.

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
