The House Of Commons: The hereditary landowners dominated the House of Lords, then almost as powerful as the House of Commons. Through the system of bor-augh representation (which until 1832 excluded nost of the big new industrial towns but brought nembership of the Commons to men virtually lominated by landowners for tiny villages), they :ould sway the Commons as well. More than i fourth of the Commons' members were peers or ions of peers, and many others were "placemen," he recipients of royal or aristocratic patronage. Jntil 1834 cabinets invariably included a ma-ority of peers, usually holding the most lucra-ive patronage-dispensing posts.
The proceedings of the House of Commons are regulated by the speaker, who is elected by the entire membership of the house. Though he is usually a former party politician, he acts as a nonpartisan chairman. The speaker retains his Commons seat after election to the chair, and usually is unopposed by his major party oppo¬nents at elections.See Also Sole House:Radio broadcasting by nationally owned and commercial stations is well developed throughout Queensland. Television was inaugurated in 1959 with three stations (one national and two com¬mercial) operating from Brisbane.
Government.—A governor, who is the di¬rect representative of the monarch, is guided in his official acts by the advice of an Executive Council; this body, which comprises the state cabinet, consists of 11 ministers, the chief min¬ister being the premier. All ministers must be members of the 78-member Legislative Assembly, the sole house of the state Parliament. Queens¬land also sends 27 members to Australia's federal Parliament—17 to the House of Representatives and 10 to the Senate. Voting in state and federal elections is compulsory.
First, mark on the Floor exactly where the Wall and door, if required, are to be located. A continuous length of wood, the sole plate, broken only for the door opening, is mounted along the center line. It is nailed or screwed to the Floor at 24in (60cm) intervals, two mounts at a time. The sole plate can be attached to floor-boards, but securing it through to joists will make the structure stronger.
Now attach the head plate to the ceiling. Using a level against a straight piece of wood or a plumb line, mark the ceiling directly above the sole plate. Attach a continuous length of wood to the ceiling, driving through into the joists. The head plate should be broken only if the ceiling is very low or the door exceptionally high.
