Douglas Ackley Lowe AM was the 35th Premier of Tasmania,from 1 December 1977 to 11 November 1981.

The Tricameral Parliament,officially the Parliament of the Republic of South Africa,was the legislature of South Africa between 1984 to 1994,established by the South African Constitution of 1983,which gave a limited political voice to the country's Coloured and Indian population groups. The majority Black population group was however still excluded,their interests notionally represented in the governments of the black homelands,or "bantustans",of which they were formally citizens. As these institutions were largely politically impotent,its principal effect was to further entrench the political power of the White section of the South African population.
