Queensland holds a special place in helping shape Australia’s labour movement and the ongoing legacy of workers’ rights. In the late 19th century, workers were faced with difficult conditions and limited protections. It was in this context that organised labour began to take shape, driven by a collective belief in fairness, opportunity, and reform.
