They recorded their dissent even though they had been absent from the house. The fact that Separation did not eventuate from that historic moment proved Archibald Archer's MLA (Rockhampton) warning that, “Forces of vast power” would oppose separation. <br /><br />Check this web site for more North Queensland state information and NQ flag:-<br /><br />http://cattoni.wix.com/nq-state<br />North Queensland Statehttp://cattoni.wix.com/nq-statenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25637657.post-21048881580611380842014-11-27T06:02:18.649+11:002014-11-27T06:02:18.649+11:00Cooee to you, Kim.
