Assistance to Sugar Cane Growers
Queensland State Archives posted a photo:
Despite the declining economic conditions in 1987, some industries continued to receive favourable government attention. Sugar had long been an important product for Queensland, and during the year several submissions came to Cabinet regarding the Commonwealth State Agreement on Adjustment Assistance to Sugar Cane Growers (Dec 50543); individual levies on particular mills (Dec 50775); and the drafting of a Bill to rationalise Far North Queensland Sugar Milling (Dec 50812).
Other discussions that occurred include drafting a Bill to ensure the Sugar Board’s role continued beyond 30 June, when it would have ceased as a result of a sunset clause in existing legislation (Dec 50894). In September, Cabinet agreed to grant $102,162 for tramworks for the Babinda Cooperative Sugar Mill, provided the Commonwealth grant of $204,235 was met (Dec 52548).

Expo ’88
The government continued to plan for Expo ’88 throughout the year. Numerous submissions were brought to Cabinet including those relating to the extension of appointment of members of the Authority scheduled for consideration which despite being deferred until 27 January saw all appointed (Dec 50551). In January Cabinet approved the inclusion of an official visitors program and a business visitors program (Dec 50540; 52259).
In April, (Dec 51303) Cabinet noted Sir Llew Edwards’ report on Expo that explained how construction was ahead of schedule; Expo was on budget; a security firm had been appointed; staff training; uniform design was selected; 27 countries committed and 42 – 43 Governments expected on site; entertainment division had organised 14,000 acts over six months. All going well, arrangements were in place for the Premier to publicly purchase the first ticket on 30 April as a marketing strategy.

History of the Great Court
The foundation stone for the new University campus was laid by Queensland Premier the Hon William Forgan Smith on 6 March 1937 and construction began the following year. Built from Helidon freestone – or sandstone – it was unlike other buildings of the period as no attempt was made to achieve a uniform colour, resulting in a swathe of purples, lavenders, creams, buffs and browns that looks particularly attractive after rain.
The Great Court took more than 40 years to complete, and played a key role in World War II when it housed the Advanced Land Headquarters of the Allied Land Forces in the Pacific, headed by General Sir Thomas Blamey. A 1945 bronze plaque commemorating this period can be found in the Forgan Smith tower.

Libraries and Archives Act
Queensland State Archives posted a photo:
On 23 March Cabinet noted the Strategic Plan for the State Library of Queensland. This had been led by Consultancy Services at the Public Service Board (Dec 51000). Cabinet subsequently approved an authority to prepare a new Libraries and Archives Act.
The new legislation would detail the functions of the State Library Board bringing it into line with other ‘user bodies’ of the Queensland Cultural Centre. Importantly the new legislation would include greater detail on functions of the State Archivist and include Archives in the title (Dec 51330).
