Hello, I was wondering if you teach me a little about Queensland? 
 Hello. I sure can! The Queensland Parliament or the Legislative Assembly, is unicameral. In 1989, the Queensland University of Technology was opened in the Brisbane central business district at Gardens Point. 
 Perfect! Speaking of Universities, could you share more facts and information regarding their universities? 
 I sure can! In 1992, the central Queensland University and University of Southern Queensland gained university status from previously operating and Institutes of Technologies, and the new University of the Sunshine Coast was established in 1994. The state's first university, the University of Queensland, was established in 1909. 
 Very good information! Any additional facts about the universities before we switch topics? 
 Sure thing! The University of Queensland ranks amongst the top 60 universities in all major global rankings. James Cook University was set up in 1980 to become the first tertiary education institution in North Queensland. These Universities all have more than one campus, and all are recognised as leading Australian universities. Bond University was established in 1989 as a private not-for-profit university, the first of its type in Queensland and Australia. 
 Wow - you have provided me with more than enough information on that topic. I really appreciate that. Could you now enlighten me on the governance of Queensland? 
 I sure can! There are several factors that differentiate Queenland's government from other Australian states. Queensland, along with New South Wales, formerly operated a balloting system known as Optional Preferential Voting for state elections. The judicial system of Queensland consists of the Supreme Court and the District Court, established by the Constitution of Queensland, and various other courts and tribunals established by ordinary Acts of the Queensland Parliament. 
 Amazing. Sounds like a very thorough way of governing. Any additional facts for me on the same topic? 
 The new constitution took effect on June 6th, 2002, which was the anniversary of the formation of the colony of Queensland by the signing of Letters patent by Queen Victoria in 1859. It is the only Australian state with a unicameral legislature. Their governance is different from the predominant Australian electoral system, the instant-runoff voting system, and in practice is closer to a first past the post ballot , which some say is to the detriment of minor parties. 
 You have been more than helpful this evening. I really appreciate your knowledge. Thank you and have a wonderful night!! 
 You're very welcome! Thank you, and you too!
