Notes

  • Author's note: Brisbane.
  • On the Queensland Government's response to the 1894 labour unrest in western Queensland.
  • It is unclear who the subject is here - though it is likely to have been either the Queensland Colonial Secretary Horace Tozer, who led the Queensland Government's campaign against the unions during the 1891 and 1894 shearers' strikes in Western Queensland, or Attorney-General T. J. Byrnes, architect of the so called 'Coercion Act', which the Queensland Government introduced as a control measure during the 1894 shearers' strike.
