The Australian Women's Register

This cutting book consists of election material and some newspaper clippings from the Brisbane Courier. The election material emanates from the Country and Progressive National Party and consists of pamphlets, “How-to-vote” cards, election fliers and broad sheets relating to both State and Federal elections between 1926 and 1935. Electorates include: Aubigny, Buranda, Sandgate, Oxley, Fassifern, Nanango, Maree, Mitchell, Stanley, Cook, Brisbane, Mirani, Bremer, South Brisbane, Bulimba and Windsor. One election card introduces Mrs. Irene Longman, the National candidate for Bulimba and states that she is the first woman candidate for Parliament in Queensland. This card seems to relate to the 1929 State election.
