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!
