Why Does Queensland Only Have One Chamber of Parliament?

from Auspol Explained · host David Cox

Queensland is different to every other state in Australia in that it only has a Legislative Assembly and no Legislative Council. It got rid of it in 1922, but why? And how? What led to the abolition of the Council 100 years ago and why hasn't it returned? Join me in a rollercoaster journey of successive attempts, decades of criticism, and multiple governments trying to bring the downfall of the inconvenient and undemocratic block that was the council. Join me in a deep dive into some Australian political history!   Support the channel on patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/AuspolExplained  Like Auspol Explained on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Auspol-Explained-107892180702388  You can find  a copy of the script here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1UGKpsZoHG904DlcjnMZ0coGfdNpWkgjN/view?usp=sharing   Auspol Explained would like to acknowledge the Whadjuk Nyoongar people and their Elders as the owners and custodians of the Land that the video was filmed and edited on. This Land was stolen and never ceded. It always was and always will be Aboriginal Land.
