QUEENSLAND POLITICS.
GOVERNMENT AND OPPOSITION. A COALITION. • BRISBANE, October 24. Meetings of. the Opposition and Government supporters were held last night, and subsequently both parties attended a joint meeting. Mr Philip, Leader of the Opposition, on behalf of his party, announced that it had unanimously agreed to coalesce with the Government. Mr Kidston, the Premier, said his party was not unanimous. He had taken an unusual course in asking them to a combined meeting, but his justification was on the unusual I position existing in Queensland public life. The position of parties was such that no party could carry on without the assistance of the other parties, and the best thing for the country was the reorganisation of parties. As a result of the meeting, Mr Kidston will have a free hand in forming a new Ministry, and forty-four members will support it.
