PARLIAMENT. Queensland's first Parliament met on 22 May 1860 in former convict barracks in Brisbane. The current Parliament House on George Street shown here was officially opened on 4 August 1868. The curved dome of the roof, almost 32 meters high forms an impressive silhouette of colonial times in modern Brisbane.

Dr. David Watson, head of the Liberal Party in Queensland, discussed the structure of the Australian Federal Government and the Queensland State Government, Australia's preferential election process, and the various political parties with students at Parliament House. This should prove helpful in understanding the upcoming federal election on October 3rd.
