Queensland’s Attitude to Strikes
His Government held firmly to the principle that disputes should be settled by arbitration and it refused to yield to direct action, said the Prime Minister of Queensland (Mr E. M. Hanlon) interviewed at Timaru. While he rebognised that, where workers felt
some sacred principle had been infringed, they had the right to strike, strikes delayed settlements. Communism “is now on the wane" in Queensland, he said, and in any case, it was only part of the social and industrial unrest that followed a long war.
