‘A long revolution’: The historical coverage of Queensland politics and government

Abstract

Queensland is still a place that is much talked about but little understood. We have a history that is exciting, complex, surprising, nuanced and more than a little shocking. It does not lend itself easily to simplification. It still dances like a shimmering heat-haze at the edge of our present perceptions. 1 -Raymond Evans, quoted in Burns (2013, 5)
