First day into Brisbane’s lockdown ... what better time to post a thread nobody asked for! Been a week since release of 1990 Qld Cabinet Minutes from the Goss government’s first full year in office. Here’s highlights from my research for @QSArchives 1/- #qldpol #cabinetpapers 
2/- As it happens, 1990 was an eventful year: East and West Germany reunified; Margaret Thatcher resigned after 11 years as British PM; Nelson Mandela was released after 27 years imprisonment in South Africa; the Hubble Space Telescope was launched; and the First Gulf War began.
3/- Domestically, Bob Hawke won a fourth successive election in 1990; Australia’s first women Premiers, Carmen Lawrence then Joan Kirner, took office; Paul Keating declared “this is the recession we had to have”; and Sinéad O’Connor’s ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ topped singles charts.
