Whilst 1 am a great supporter of Great Britain - indeed, 1 have looked to her for her great motherliness over the period tn which Australia has been growing - during the Socialist era, which has just passed, that country was not able to provide the conditions for growth or the level of employment then we enjoy.

It was, I think, 9 or 10 years before the restrictive trade practices legislation in Great Britain could be operated in such a way that the content and the effect of agreements upon the public interest were open to examination because the early part of that period was taken up with considering whether agreements were or were not properly required to be lodged.

The Minister for Supply (Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson) has intimated that a delegation will be going to London to discuss with our British counterparts certain aspects in relation to affecting the trade of certain Australian primary industries with Great Britain. [More…]
In other words, I think there must be a strong intimation by the Australian nation to Great Britain as to how we feel on this matter. [More…]
At the end of the’ motion add: ‘and express its immediate concern and intimates to the Government that the members of the Australian delegation will have the full support of all parties in securing a proper recognition of Australia’s trading relations with Great Britain as a member of the British Commonwealth of Nations in the forthcoming negotiations.’ [More…]
The tradition of Australia’s relations with Great Britain has been that, of a family. [More…]

So I cannot make any observations other than to say that this is a matter for Great Britain. [More…]

Dalton who submits a theory that, with the investigation of atomic expansion after the Second World War, a tripartite agreement was entered into at Quebec between Canada, Great Britain and the United States for the exchange of information on atomic energy, chemical and biological warfare, and rocketry.

It will be interesting to see how the Sugar Agreement will be phased out in the event of Great Britain’s joining the ECM. [More…]

Subsequently the delegation visited Great Britain. [More…]
The future of the sugar industry and of the Australian sugar contractual quota with Great Britain were raised, more particularly in Britain. [More…]

Great Britain will be given no opportunity to retain the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement. [More…]

[More…]
Will the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs inform the Senate whether the Government of Communist China has yet accorded full diplomatic recognition with mutual exchange of envoys at ambassador level to the Government of Great Britain? [More…]

I am not going into the question of why a product which has already been passed in the United States of America or Great Britain is knocked back in Australia. [More…]
I thought it was of some interest that not only does the Australian Labor Party appear to accept that some restriction is necessary - I think all speakers have subscribed to that point of view - but also that the Labor Party in Great Britain, which has just been applauded by Senator Mulvihill, in its 1970 manifesto stated: [More…]
Senator Byrne, with his experience of the history of the criminal law in Great Britain, appreciates that it is evident that the sanction of capital punishment was a complete failure. [More…]

I have a personal interest in the future development of an Australian childrens film foundation or corporation or something of that nature, which will create, especially for the children of Australia, films with a national identity, films which will provide to them the opportunities to see the excellence of our arts from our own people and also which will perhaps enrich our children’s leisure in a way that is achieved by the Children’s Film Foundation of Great Britain. [More…]
In Great Britain, the established film industry is able to support a children’s film foundation. [More…]
I supplied it with information regarding the commission that was set up in Great Britain to make an examination of the postal services in that country. [More…]
This was done in Great Britain. [More…]
But I believe, because of the experience in Great Britain, that this proposal is worthy of examination and consideration by a qualified committee of this Senate. [More…]

by leave - The statement I am about to make concerns the recent visit to the United States of America and Great Britain by the Prime Minister (Mr McMahon) and was made by him yesterday in another place. [More…]

Because our policy is acceptable to the Australian public, the acceptance of it can be upset and reversed only by the type of distortion thai the Minister has made great effort lo achieve tonight by saying that our policy is an open door one to admit all migrants and to create the same problems that the United Stales of America and Great Britain face.

It is true that, by agreement between the Premier and the Prime Minister (Mr McMahon), there has been some alleviation of the stringent requirements of the Queensland Act, but it reminds me very much of the agreement between Mr Ian Smith and Mr Heath, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, in their so-called alleviation of the problems of people in Rhodesia. [More…]
With regard to the situation in Rhodesia where, as the Senate will know, the recently negotiated proposals between the Government of Great Britain and Rhodesia are being considered and examined by the Pearce Commission, it would be quite inappropriate in our view for the Australian Government to intervene in any matters associated with that experience. [More…]

It will be recalled that at this time Great Britain was tottering on the brink of joining the European Common Market. [More…]
Sir Jock Pagan obviously was not satisfied about the status of Australians in Great Britain, and neither was I. [More…]
Surely to goodness we are entitled to know what the status of Australians is in Great Britain, especially after the incident involving Sir Jock Pagan. [More…]
Mr President, the Australian Journalists Association has been fighting for years for the establishment of an Australian council of the Press, lt has continually pointed out to this Government that there is such a council, which is a voluntary council, in Great Britain. [More…]
But, in the light of the history of which I have been speaking, was it not likely and understandable that the presence of Russian vessels in this region would come as a great jolt to a nation which, as I have said, has been able to live with a sense of complete security provided by our ally, Great Britain? [More…]
Because of the previously agreed policy of seeking markets outside the United Kingdom so as not to be left without a viable market when the United Kingdom enters the European Common Market, the amount that Australia can be expected to ship to the United Kingdom in 1971-72 will be about 9,000 tons as against a quota of some 67,000 tons that under other conditions we would ship to Great Britain. [More…]
Under the terms of access recently agreed to by Great Britain and the European Economic Community, the Australian dairy industry faces the possibility of being excluded from the British market as from the end of 1972. [More…]
If one counts those in Great Britain who govern one will find that on a per capita basis Great Britain is no better off than Australia. [More…]
But I would be pleased if the Attorney-General would give us a further comment as to whether, in the absence of any such circumscription and in the application of the principles generally over the criminal field and over all areas of operation, he would still consider that so extending it merely with certain qualifications and protections would be a proper course to pursue and whether perhaps he should not reconsider this matter in the light of information from Great Britain as to the operation of the Criminal Evidence Act 1965 with the limited extension there given; that is, whether that is proof of some value or whether it is inadequate proof. [More…]
We are being asked to take this big leap forward - it would be a very big leap forward - in the absence of some element of certainty and in the absence of some information as to why in Great Britain as far as they were prepared to go was to operate within this very limited and very logical field. [More…]
This was considered in great depth by the Gowers Commission in Great Britain. [More…]
They brought down an agreement that was very similar to the agreement that was reached between Ian Smith of Rhodesia and Mr Heath, the Prime Minister of Great Britain. [More…]
But in Great Britain, the United States of America and other countries, parents regard it as a privilege to help the school that their children attend. [More…]
The Fill and the F4 are 2 aircraft that are at present operating in America and in Great Britain. [More…]
The Attorney-General has been completely and absolutely proper, but if honourable senators opposite are concerned with the organisations that work in this country, J draw their attention to the fact that Great Britain, a tolerant country, has recently had to expel 105 Soviet ‘diplomats’. [More…]
They mainly came from the Soviet trade delegation in Great Britain. [More…]
Of course, it was quite different from the Australian position inasmuch as overseas investment in Australia comes mainly from 2 countries, Great Britain and the United States of America. [More…]
But I say to honourable senators opposite that I can remember when Harold Wilson was the Prime Minister of Great Britain. [More…]
I ask the Minister for Health whether a recent requirement has been introduced in Great Britain that bottles of tablets prescribed by medical practitioners must bear labels stating their contents. [More…]
There was a similar dispute between Norway and Great Britain concerning a deep channel close to the shores of Norway. [More…]
In addition to that, the efforts of Great Britain to get the Soviet Union, as a cosponsor of the Geneva conference, to reconstitute that conference will have come to the knowledge of honourable senators. [More…]
But the Soviet Union recently has been quite adamant in refusing any such reconstitution, jointly with Great Britain, to get consideration of the situation at that level. [More…]
There will be a free and independent Papua New Guinea, yet Australia will remain with a degree of dependence upon Great Britain. [More…]
Similar reports have been brought down in Canada, Great Britain, the Netherlands and other countries. [More…]
It will be recalled that when the first intimations were given that Great Britain was to join the European Economic Community a great deal of distress and alarm was expressed. [More…]
AH of those factors have meant that last year only about 8,000 tons of butter were exported to Great Britain. [More…]
It is currently estimated by those with some knowledge of the industry, including some in the industry, that next year there is a possibility that there will be only 5,000 tons of butter to export to Great Britain. [More…]
That shows that the industry has not been asleep; rather that it has been working hard during the last decade to shift its export markets away from the traditional market of Great Britain. [More…]
The report recommended the establishment of a dairy board along similar lines to the authority which operates in Great Britain - a milk marketing authority to take unto itself all the milk. [More…]
I believe that the long term future of the industry in Australia would be better served and that many of the parochial attitudes which are expressed from State to State in the industry would be pushed aside if a Commonwealth milk marketing authority were established along the lines of that which has evolved in Great Britain. [More…]
One has only to read of the conditions that existed in Great Britain 80 to 100 years a0 to realise the dreadful conditions that were a manifestation of all that was low in conditions that developed out of the Industrial Revolution. [More…]
It is very interesting to go back 100 or 120 years only and read in the Hansards of Great Britain the speeches that were made by members of the legislature of that country when propositions were before the Parliament to relieve the dreadful industrial conditions that had developed out of the first attempts at modern-type industrial produtcion, with no recourse to the legality of controlling wages and conditions in the industrial enterprises. [More…]
One of the misfortunes of this country, unlike a number of other countries such as Great Britain, is that it is very seldom that the intelligent representatives of the employing class bother to stand for Parliament. [More…]
Anybody who is familiar with some of the problems that have arisen on the waterfront in Great Britain should be aware that it was recognised by Lord Devlin in his report on the stevedoring industry in Great Britain that one of the primary causes for industrial trouble in Great Britain was the fact that there are 2 unions covering dock workers - the dock section of the Transport and General Workers Union and the National Amalgamated Stevedores and [More…]
It must be recognised that advertising on radio and television has been banned in Great Britain since about 1965. [More…]
I have no doubt that full cooperation will be forthcoming from scientists not only in America but also in Great Britain. [More…]
His reputation as an outstanding jurist was acknowledged both in Australia and overseas, particularly in Great Britain and the United States of America. [More…]
The Press statement to which he refers relates to the visit of a number of undergraduates who came to Australia from Great Britain and Europe on working holidays. [More…]
1 understand that in the Parliaments of Great Britain, Canada and the United States such a Bill would be referred to a committee precisely asI have moved. [More…]
I recall that at one time I placed a notice of motion on the notice paper to disallow a regulation which, under some agreement between Australia, the United States of America and Great Britain, gave immunity to those associated with an atomic energy inquiry. [More…]
I have already mentioned that I understand that this car was described in Great Britain as a ‘paper’ car. [More…]
That meeting erupted in violence because a minority element of the dockers was attempting to assert immunity from the jurisdiction of the courts and the law of Great Britain, because that system is attempting to give the benefit of an ordered industrial system to, as well as to impose the responsibility on, the workers of Great Britain. [More…]
Lord Justice Denning in a case concerning Scientology in Great Britain within the last 2 years said that as far as he was concerned Scientology was more a philosophy than a religion. [More…]
When he was asked what he thought of the 2 per cent unemployment rate he said that in Great Britain it would be considered a luxury. [More…]
Let us consider another comparable country - Great Britain. [More…]
In Great Britain wages went up 14.7 per cent, but unemployment also went up 5.6 per cent. [More…]
The reason for the situation in Great Britain being different from the pattern that I have shown for the other 6 nations must obviously be something other than high wages. [More…]
Research into this situation has shown conclusively that the rate of growth in Great Britain is much lower than it is in the other 6 countries that I named. [More…]
The trade union movement in Great Britain has conducted a concerted and sustained campaign to resist the British Parliament’s Industrial Relations Act since it was passed early last year. [More…]
That has accentuated an already excessive unemployment situation in Great Britain. [More…]
I have been prompted to mention it because of the impending membership by Great Britain of the European Common Market and the early statement on whether Australians and New Zealanders would retain their present status. [More…]
But Great Britain and many European countries do not demand vaccination certificates for entry now. [More…]
Because, of our associations with Great Britain. [More…]
In New South Wales a private study is being conducted in methadone maintenance therapy, which is one of the methods used in Great Britain. [More…]
Of course, there is no such thing as a Yugoslavian any more than a man born in Great Britain is a United Kingdomer. [More…]
In the United States of America and in Great Britain the trade union movement on occasion has taken the firmest action possible to clean up this kind of thing in a trade union. [More…]
In Great Britain the philosophy of repatriation began in a rather slipshod fashion where much of the payments were made to ex-servicemen who had been impressed, legally or illegally. [More…]
What was the backlog of applications from persons seeking to enter Australia as (a) assisted migrants and (b) non-assisted migrants, at the end of the 1971-72 immigration programme, from the following countries: Great Britain, Ireland (Eire and Ulster), Yugoslavia, Italy, Greece, Malta, Lebanon, United States of America, Chile, Finland, West Germany and Mauritius. [More…]
Great Britain’s entry into the European Economic Community. [More…]
That was one of the major achievements of the Lloyd George Government in Great Britain before the First World War. [More…]
The philosophy that Australia, because of a set of circumstances in an industry such as this and because of changed circumstances in its traditional markets - the markets of Great Britain and Europe in particular, due to the circumstances associated with Britain’s entry into the European Common Market - should abandon all hope and think merely in terms of destroying its present industries is entirely wrong. [More…]
One Minister has attempted to create a break in our friendship with Great Britain. [More…]
That has been emphasised in the hope that in future we will be a more independent Australia and place less reliance on Great Britain. [More…]
As a small country in world terms and having a great friendship with Great Britain and many of the traditions that have been handed down from that founding nation, I regret that this break has been created by the Labor Government. [More…]
Whether in Australia, the United States or Great Britain it has become a regular thing for pressmen to anticipate. [More…]
As far as our relations with the United States and Great Britain are concerned, the day has long gone when we adopted a colonial posture. [More…]
I refer to this morning’s news item which indicated that the number of applications by people in Great Britain to migrate to Australia had fallen by nearly 20 per cent this year compared with the same period for last year. [More…]
New Zealand or Great Britain. [More…]
There is no more classic example than the time when the economy of Great Britain, to which country most of us owe our forebears, was based to a large extent on child labour. [More…]
Indeed some wealthy employers led the fight to get children out of the coal mines and spinning mills of Great Britain, but they were resisted greatly by many of the parents of the children, who could not see how their families could survive without the incomes they had been used to receiving from the labours of the child members of their families. [More…]
Because of that, there is no worry or kerfuffle in Great Britain, America or New Zealand. [More…]
What military might have we compared to countries such as Russia, China, the United States of America and Great Britain? [More…]
Twice Australian troops have marched away to the other side of the world to support Great Britain in times of war. [More…]
I assure the Senate that that did not destroy any relationship between Great Britain and Australia: it did not destroy any relationship between Manchester and Australia, and it did not destroy anything between Israel and Australia. [More…]
Even before this obnoxious raid on his own Department there were Press allegations that Great Britain and the United States of America were already withholding security information. [More…]
I also understand that the cost of postage from Australia to Great Britain is far greater than that coming from Great Britain to Australia. [More…]
In order to protect our internal security, one result of the new arrangement is to give the DirectorGeneral of Security a charter as ample as that possessed by the corresponding authority, in Great Britain. [More…]
The matter was adverted to recently by Lord Denning, Master of the (Rolls, in the Courts of Great Britain. [More…]
Sir David Fyfe’s direction in 1952 to the Director-General of the Security Service in Great Britain. [More…]
They have the same right as Karl Marx who was allowed to live in Great Britain. [More…]
But despite those principles which are enshrined here and in Great Britain, the Minister violated those things and has never said why he did so. [More…]
It is an objective actually achieved in the United Kingdom and in Australia and which has been regarded as being of great importance to the preservation of democracy in our type of country - a country such as Great Britain - a country such as Australia. [More…]
I think it is fair to say that this is happening in Great Britain. [More…]
The decision to remove these restrictions will bring Australia into line with Great Britain and New Zealand where home brewing has been permitted for many years. [More…]
But I would have thought that there is no question that in this situation the Governor-General is the head of the Australian Commonwealth just as the President of the United States of America is head of the United States and the Queen is head of Great Britain. [More…]
At the same time the Soviet Government had sought the extradition from Great Britain of 2 Estonians, alleging war crimes but giving no evidence. [More…]
The Government of Great Britain refused their extradition. [More…]
He was allowed to stay in Great Britain. [More…]
It still contains the special references, and in fact gives first place, to the Queen’s title as Queen of the United Kingdom, of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. [More…]
It goes to show that we are no more civilised than were our ancestors in Great Britain in the 16th Century. [More…]
If we make a comparison between John Foster Dulles and the statesmanlike attitude of Prime Minister Attlee of Great Britain, Prime Minister Chifley of Australia, Australia’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr Evatt, and Peter Fraser of New Zealand and if we consider the relatively bloodless development of India, Pakistan and even Ceylon and the internal conflict in Indonesia, we recognise that none of those struggles was prolonged in any way, as was the struggle in Indo-China. [More…]
It is true that today Japan stands in relation to Australia as a trading nation precisely as Great Britain did some 30 years ago; Japan today takes some 28 per cent of Australia’s trade. [More…]
One has only to note the attitudes now being strongly presented in Great Britain and in certain States of the United States of America, where the death sentence has been abolished, to see that there is a great clamour for its reinstatement. [More…]
By way of preface I refer to a document which has been issued earlier and which indicates the grounds on which Aus tralians can get extensions of their period of residence in Great Britain. [More…]
It refers to the request which Australia has made to Great Britain to support it in its protests against the French nuclear tests in the Pacific. [More…]
As it obviously must be very embarrassing for the British and Australian governments, which collaborated in a long series of tests and got all the nuclear information that they wanted, to suggest that France should stop after having gone only part of the way in its investigations, would it not be a much better alternative for Australia to ask the Government of Great Britain to make available to France the full information which it has obtained with our assistance and so make it unnecessary for France to conduct further tests? [More…]
Great Britain was asked to come into the matter of the [More…]
which may well depend upon what influence we have with Great Britain. [More…]
I do not know from where the honourable senator obtained the information that Great Britain has all the knowledge that France requires. [More…]
It is important that in this nation we support the 2-party system which has survived so well in Great Britain. [More…]
I have heard it said, and I think Senator Lillico was the latest to say it, that opponents of the proposal for 10 per cent in the present Bill indicate the wide differentiations that occur in Great Britain and in Canada. [More…]
I am not going to traverse what has happened in Great Britain, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Ireland or anywhere else. [More…]
It is important to end the confusion which has been permitted to continue since the Citizenship Act of 1949 and the use of terminology which has given many Australian the mistaken impression they are not only Australian citizens but also citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. [More…]
It also obviates the confusion which exists in law between the Queen of Australia and the Queen of the United Kingdom, Great Britain and Northern Ireland. [More…]
It occurs to me that somebody may consider that the Privy Council in banco, instead of referring the matter to a judicial committee comprised of distinguished legal members of the Privy Council in Great Britain, might well refer it to a board of the Privy Council constituted by the judges of the High Court of Australia, all of whom are Privy Councillors. [More…]
Will the Minister investigate this position and, if what I say is so, will he take appropriate action to speed up the renegotiation of the long standing double taxation agreement between Australia and Great Britain? [More…]
It is difficult to understand why it does not contemplate the price and wages freeze tried by what might be called conservative administrations in both the United States and Great Britain. [More…]
He said that the island of Great Britain was almost composed of coal and surrounded by fish and that it would require an organising genius to produce a shortage of both. [More…]
Professor Jewkes says: Unfortunately in Great Britain we have this type of socialist genii in our midst’. [More…]
The publication refers to what is being done and what has been done in Great Britain and France. [More…]
It seems to me a very great pity that the present Government should see fit to weaken yet another strand in the historical links with Great Britain by placing British subjects on the same footing as persons from other lands with which we have less strong ties of sentiment and kinship. [More…]
The country at large might not have appreciated the necessity of this policy as quickly as would have been advisable in the interests of Australia, lt is still true today that a great number of people from Great Britain would be the ideal migrants for Australia if they were desirous of coming here. [More…]
In Great Britain and to a developing degree throughout Europe, enormously increased prosperity succeeded the immediate introduction of the European Economic Community. [More…]
circumstances in which migrants from European countries in particular and from Great Britain may be just as easy to attract to Australia as they have been in the past. [More…]
This is to the great credit of Great Britain - the country to which we owe our origin - because it has been wise enough to see these things and to take steps to move with the times p.s they have changed and as people’s thinking in these areas has changed. [More…]
I would find it much easier to forswear any allegiance to the old country, Great Britain - my ancestors were born in Cornwall - than to Australia, because this is the only country I have ever known. [More…]
If I were to go to Great Britain and be asked for forswear ali allegiance to Australia, I would have grave doubts about doing that. [More…]
Many of the people who came to Australia from Great Britain in the early days of the establishment of this country might have been very happy to forswear their allegiance to Great Britain because of the circumstances in which they were sent to Australia. [More…]
People were sent to this country, as a penal colony, for breaking laws which I do not believe many people today would say were just and fair laws, and I do not think that many people today would say that just and fair punishment was meted out to the people who committed offences in Great Britain and were sent here. [More…]
This is the reference to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth the Second of Great Britain and Queen of Australia. [More…]
I under- stand the argument has been used that the._ words suggested in the amendment are not, legal because Queen Elizabeth the Second of Great Britain is not designated in Australia today as Queen Elizabeth the Second of Australia; that Australia had not been founded in the days of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth! [More…]
If the amendment were carried and it became part of the Act, the alteration which I am suggesting could be achieved very simply by changing the designation in the amendment from ‘Queen Elizabeth the Second of Australia’ to ‘Queen Elizabeth the Second” - which is her right and correct title; she is Queen Elizabeth the Second of Great Britain - ‘Queen of Australia’. [More…]
She is Queen Elizabeth the Second of Great Britain. [More…]
We will go along and tell a Dutchman - and this could equally apply to a Norwegian, a Britisher or anyone else - that we want him to take the oath of allegiance to an Act of the Parliament of Great Britain which was enacted 73 years ago and which the same Parliament can change any time it likes. [More…]
But in law the Parliament of Great Britain can at any time repeal and change that Act if it wishes. [More…]
We have insulted all our friends from the United States to Thailand and from Great Britain to Malaysia. [More…]
It also obviates the confusion which exists in law between the Queen of Australia and the Queen of the United Kingdom, Great Britain and Northern Ireland. [More…]
The cardboard backing sheet is marked ‘Made in Great Britain’ in large lettering, while the packet containing the blades is marked ‘Made in Belgium’ in very small lettering. [More…]
I ask the Minister: As the compensation which is being paid by drug companies in West Germany and Great Britain is overdue, what role is the Commonwealth Health Department playing to secure a flow-through of just compensation to the Australian victims of that drug? [More…]
Recently, of course, settlements have been effected in a number of cases in Great Britain and other European countries by the drug company involved. [More…]
Has the Minister’s attention been drawn to Mr Whitlam’s statement in New Delhi on Wednesday that Australia would be deserting its traditional friends and allies, Great Britain and the United States of America, in voting in the United Nations and would be consulting 5 other powers, including Tanzania? [More…]
Let us hear the views of some of the Opposition’s confederates and bedfellows - the Conservatives in Great Britain. [More…]
Why is it, when day after day the newspapers were full of stories of the confrontations and the controversies which the Prime Minister of this nation engaged in with Mr Heath of Great Britain and Mr Lee of Singapore, the Prime Minister has not deemed it appropriate to inform the Parliament of one word of what those differences were about or why he created the impression in this country that he was at loggerheads with the heads of nations with which we have long maintained close, friendly and reliable associations? [More…]
Before Mr Whitlam went away there was no doubt that most Australians would have said that Australia’s most reliable friends - the countries in which we had the greatest trust - we’re Great Britain and the United States of America. [More…]
It is an absolutely ridiculous and unsupportable assertion to say that Great Britain is endeavouring in some way to dominate the Commonwealth through multinational corporations. [More…]
Not only is it a reflection upon the independence of the heads of the Commonwealth countries with whom he is associating but it is a slur upon- the Prime Minister and the Government of Great Britain, because there is absolutely no evidence to indicate that the control or domination to which he has referred is in existence. [More…]
Will the Minister investigate this position and, if whatI say is so, will he take appropriate action to speed up the renegotiation of the long standing double taxation agreement between Australia and Great Britain? [More…]
Because of what has been taking place in Great Britain there is more and more demand amongst the people to restore the death penalty. [More…]
I see a great resemblance between Mr Whitlam and Harold Wilson of Great Britain. [More…]
It does not, since it is not necessary, make an individual reference to Her Majesty’s title as Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. [More…]
I am given to understand that these measures have been modified to take account of new developments, as a result of the bombing of the British Embassy in Washington and further incidents in Great Britain. [More…]
During World I and Word War II we were lucky because we had Great Britain and other countries which could take the strain of the war for 6 to 12 months while we were training our troops and getting the equipment that, we did not have. [More…]
But Great Britain has gone. [More…]
We all realise that our problems in the marketing of primary products have increased with the entry of Great Britain to the European Economic Community. [More…]
We have seen increasingly the breaking of the traditional alliances which Australia has held with the countries whom all Australians regard as our allies - with the United States of America, with Great Britain and, in our own area, with Singapore which is a flourishing, progressive and stable nation. [More…]
Whereas the people of New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, Queensland and Tasmania, humbly relying on the blessing of Almightly God, have agreed to unite in one indissoluble Federal Commonwealth under the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and under the Constitution hereby established . [More…]
A footnote in the Schedule requires the name of the King or Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland for the time being to be substituted for Queen Victoria. [More…]
in reply- It was interesting to listen to the distinguished Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Senate (Senator Greenwood) go to some pains to tell us that the Queen of the United Kingdom and the person who is part of the Parliament of Australia really owes her position in no way to us; she is properly there by virtue of the decisions of the United Kingdom; she is the Queen of the United Kingdom and she is there irrespective of anything that we might do, say, want or wish; this is because of the carryover of the feudal system in Great Britain; although this is so, there is nothing that we can do about it; whether it is foisted upon us or tolerated by us we can properly describe her as the Queen of Australia, although we have nothing to do with her appointment, her being there or her moving; and we in no way have any effect on her being there. [More…]
Many of the problems of Great Britain may be attributed to hanging on to forms of government which are outmoded. [More…]
I suppose it is important whether we will drop the words ‘Defender of the Faith’ and whether we shall use the term ‘Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland ‘ rather than the term ‘Queen of Australia’. [More…]
That observation was made as long ago as 1959 in the Radcliffe report on the working of the monetary system in Great Britain. [More…]
The Labor Party also made no protest when shortly afterwards the Monte Bello Islands, which are on the border of our country, were made available to Great Britain for testing atom bombs. [More…]
They have examined the situation in Europe today and have come to the conclusion that because the Soviet Union has the bomb, Great Britain has the bomb and the United States has the bomb and because they have had no guarantees from any of those countries that they will be protected or defended against nuclear attack, they have to defend themselves from nuclear attack. [More…]
America, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Great Britain. [More…]
We believe that the Government of Australia, in the same way as the governments of Great Britain, the United States of America and New Zealand, ought to have power to control prices. [More…]
As I have said, when governments in Great Britain, New Zealand and the United States of America have these powers, we see no reason why they should not be given to the Commonwealth Government. [More…]
Every country in the world which has tried some stopgap measure to control inflation, including the United States of America and Great Britain, has imposed not just a prices freeze but a prices and incomes freeze. [More…]
The Labor Government, as self inflicted wounds, will produce in Australia the evils that we have seen in Great Britain and the United States. [More…]
Those of us who look back through history will recall that prior to Hitler’s war and the war in which we were involved with Japan, Mr Baldwin, the Prime Minister of Great Britain, held an election and at that time he hardly mentioned defence. [More…]
He allowed the defences of Great Britain to be down-graded. [More…]
From the early 1930s onwards the warning of Churchill went unheeded by all governments including the Conservative Government in Great Britain under Mr Baldwin, who was then its Prime Minister. [More…]
I might add that it shares intelligence information with the United States and Great Britain. [More…]
So I fail to see on what basis it is said in the matter of urgency that our credibility as an ally has been affected, because both Great Britain and the United States are still sharing intelligence information with Australia. [More…]
-Well, I do not know; but we have to rely on what has been mentioned not only here but also in other places, and it has been said that we share this information with Great Britain and the United States. [More…]
A telegram is sent in Australia, as it is in Great Britain, at considerable loss. [More…]
They are green turtles, the edible meat of which is in high demand in Great Britain. [More…]
Has the attention of the Leader of the Government in the Senate been drawn to this morning’s Press reports that Great Britain is supplying a large number of helicopters to Egypt and is training 50 pilots for the same? [More…]
The manifesto of the liberal- I am referring to the liberals with a little ‘1’- in Great Britain today states: Make the polluter pay. [More…]
The only other point that needs to be made relates to the history of the big amalgamated unions in other countries.. Go to Great Britain and ask about the Transport and General Workers Union and about democracy in the Amalgamated Engineering Union. [More…]
I was interested to hear Senator Dame Nancy Buttfield say that in America and Great Britain certain contracts require the Government to give work to sheltered workshops provided they can meet time schedules and conditions of this nature. [More…]
Australia works differently from the United States and Great Britain. [More…]
I ask the Minister for Foreign Affairs: Is he aware of the grave hardship caused by the reduction of Arab oil supplies to many countries including Great Britain and the United States of America. [More…]
They were that the High Commissioner’s Office in Great Britain should cease to be attached to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet- thereby maintaining the somewhat anomalous relationship which had survived since the time the High Commissioner was appointed- and instead become part of the general representation of Australia overseas under the guidance and control of the Department of Foreign Affairs. [More…]
As Senator Byrne knows, we went to Great Britain and met experts. [More…]
So he is committed to what he calls ‘democratic socialism’ which has dawned in the United Kingdom and has brought Great Britain to her knees. [More…]
By way of preface, let me say that three major sporting activities- namely, Korea versus Australia in World Cup soccer, the rugby league ashes series between Australia and Great Britain, which Australia won, and the recent Davis Cup final between Australia and the United States have been telecast direct to Australian audiences by satellite coverage. [More…]
Sovereign states exist and of course all of them have brought their own law from Great Britain. [More…]
While we may agree with the arguments advanced by the Minister in regard to revaluation of the Australian dollar, the fact that the United States dollar has recovered to a certain extent has meant that in Great Britain, which is the main market for this industry, there has been a currency revaluation of about 3 to 4 per cent, so there is justification for money to be spent on currency revaluation compensation. [More…]
After the introduction of schemes in Canada, Great Britain and New Zealand we heard news from those great countries indicating that their medical schemes were a failure. [More…]
At the same time that this Council was formed and concern was being expressed by the Government,, there had been introduced in Great Britain a form of national control over medical services. [More…]
Those experts were brought here from Great Britain at great expense by the Government and history shows that they submitted very valuable reports. [More…]
Once we have a huge government department, I doubt that the position in Australia will be any different from that in many other countries, such as Great Britain and Canada and some of the European countries, where common sense has forced the governments to reconsider their health schemes. [More…]
I refer to the very grave economic crisis confronting Great Britain; a crisis which many observers believe may permanently cripple that nation. [More…]
In view of the fact that by any test, including humanitarian considerations, the importance of a strong Britain in the western European alliance or because of the great traditions and common origins that bind Britain and Australia, will the Commonwealth Government initiate immediately top level discussions with Great Britain and with countries with common interests and responsibilities to determine what practical steps can be taken by Australia and other countries to help resolve Britain’s problems, particularly her energy crisis? [More…]
Having particular regard to Great Britain, which had been the most important part of our European market, the report went on to say that for the first time we met with the phasing in conditions of the European Economic Community regulations. [More…]
He was a left wing social democrat closely associated with the Independent Labor Party in Great Britain. [More…]
It might have had some applicability in the late 19th century and even the early 20th century in Great Britain when there was a struggle between an elected House of Commons and an hereditary House of Lords. [More…]
However it is remarkable that a lot of the suggestions made by the Opposition about controlling the economy were tried for the last couple of years by the Opposition’s wonder boy, the former Prime Minister of Great Britain. [More…]
The trouble today is that we are also involved in the same wages and prices spiral that has caused the trouble in Great Britain. [More…]
Unless this Government representing the national interest can induce the unions and the employers to get together to determine a system which will give the ordinary worker justice from a wage point of view, and ensure that the general interests of the community are preserved, within 8 months we will be in the same position as is Great Britain.

[More…]

Before I go into that I remind the Senate that the proposal in the Constitution that there should be an Inter-State Commission was adopted from the experience of Great Britain co-ordinating the many private enterprise railways that had been established in the last century in that country, and it is interesting that that organisation had an early experience somewhat comparable with that of our own InterState Commission in Australia.

A slow process of change takes place within the Conservative parties in Australia compared with their counterpart in Great Britain. [More…]

That is the difference between conservatism in Great Britain and conservatism, or what runs for it, in Australia. [More…]

[More…]
The entry of Great Britain to the European Economic Community will have some severe effects for the industry because the final phase for the preference will be eliminated at the end of June 1977. [More…]

I would have liked to indicate to Senator Wright, who I believe is to be one of the last of the great imperialists, and to his supporter, Senator Walters, that, if the Liberal and National Country Parties in opposition and in government had accepted that Great Britain would enter the European Common Market and had reorganised themselves and the industries which they support, this industry that we are debating tonight would not be in the difficulties it is in at the present time. [More…]

I want to read a brief excerpt from Lord Shaw’s judgment where he was dealing with an attempt by the Court of Nullity in Great Britain to prevent the publication of proceedings of an order and when the matter came before the law Lords, Lord Shaw, dismayed to think that any judge of England would purport to imprison a person who published those proceedings contrary to the order, said: [More…]

Great Britain which cannot finance itself any longer. [More…]

[More…]

Because of that vast stockpile which is held in Australia and because of the markets which are available abroad at a price much higher than that which is paid by the Australian consumer, I suggest that the Christmas Island Phosphate Commission and the British Phosphate Commission, which are responsible for the administration of the Christmas Island deposits, should be seeking discussions between Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand for the purpose of placing future production of phosphate rock from Christmas Island onto the export markets. [More…]
-I believe that the importance of Great Britain’s inclusion in the European Economic Community had been overlooked and that many of the problems that have arisen were as a result of that. [More…]
The Anglo-Australian Telescope Board was established by agreement between the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as detailed in the Schedule to the AngloAustralian Telescope Agreement Act 1970. [More…]
I believe it may have been Senator Melzer who earlier today referred to the Royal Commission on Environmental Pollution under the chairmanship of Sir Brian Flowers which reported to Her Majesty’s Government in Great Britain in September 1 976. [More…]
These are the orders of magnitude we are discussing as they have been measured in Great Britain, They are the actual levels. [More…]
The Conciliation and Arbitration Act, by its own terminology, does not outlaw strikes as such and at common law in Australia and in Great Britain strikes are not illegal. [More…]

Rhodesia has never been governed from Great Britain. [More…]
Great Britain, no longer able to stand on her own two feet in this affair, took the case to the United Nations, and here Rhodesia was confronted by a wind of fire. [More…]
If we look at the history immediately prior to 1939 that led to the world conflagration, what we discover is that the hard raw intelligence information processed through the armed forces of Great Britain, for example, was far more accurate than the Foreign Office information. [More…]
Sir Neville Henderson, the British Ambassador in Berlin, was constantly pushing forward into areas of government in Great Britain the view that Herr Hitler was a jolly nice fellow and that all the nonsense that was being produced by the armed forces was nothing but warmongering. [More…]
We have to rely on Great Britain to provide us with information on the value of the equipment, its capacity, its range, how effective it is. [More…]

That is the Industrial Relations Act that was introduced in Great Britain in 1973 by the Heath Government. [More…]
In Great Britain, people finished up working a three-day week; h undreds of thousands of people were put out of work; and finally the Heath Government was put out of office. [More…]
If there is a concerted effort through legislation to smash the trade union movement in this country, what will happen is that the trade union movement will completely unite as a body to defeat that legislation in the same way as the trade union movement did in Great Britain in 1973. [More…]
These sorts of things could not happen in Great Britain. [More…]
One should look at the figures for the United States of America, which has backed off from the principle of one vote one value, and for Great Britain and so forth. [More…]
The position in Great Britain is very well stated in Erskine May’s Parliamentary Practice and is stated quite explicitly in the Clerk of the Senate’s book Australian Senate Practice. [More…]
On page 283 of the book he states, in relation to the situation in Great Britain: [More…]
It is the situation in the United States of America and it is the situation in Great Britain. [More…]
Perhaps the best place to look at in relation to the quick counting of votes is Great Britain. [More…]
Not only should the Department of Administrative Services look at this matter but also we should have a special committee on electoral reform like the Houghton Committee in Great Britain which looked into all these aspects which I have raised tonight. [More…]
What I am trying to say to our- particularly our trade unionist friends in Australia, is they really must understand that uranium for us is extremely critical for the well-being of the working people in Great Britain. [More…]
I emphasise that Dr Mabon said ‘uranium for us is extremely critical for the well-being of the working people in Great Britain’. [More…]
I am concerned about this item because it is reported in the Press that the Government intends to pay the cost of a one-way air ticket to Great Britain for the present Governor-General and his wife when he retires. [More…]
In Great Britain, where there is a simpler broadcasting structure, Lord Annand ‘s committee, set up for the same purpose, was given three years in which to complete it. [More…]
The members, in their report, said that the code or register which they suggested should be the same as that which existed in the United States and Great Britain and that it should be implemented in this country without delay. [More…]
Apparently Liberal politicians in this country have to have a code of conduct which is different from the code of public conduct used in the United States and Great Britain. [More…]
I regret my lack of alacrity in being charitable to Senator Withers, but I am referring to a document which, with typical Anglo-Saxon modesty is simply described as ‘Lord Denning ‘s Report’, and which relates to the rules dealing with the administration of security services in Great Britain. [More…]
Australia has reciprocal agreements with New Zealand and Great Britain but these agreements are largely overtaken by the portability provisions which have existed since, I think, 1973 or 1974. [More…]
Of course in Great Britain and in every State of Australia legislation makes it an offence for any agricultural marketing agent to publish an account or deduct more than is accurately shown in the account. [More…]
Firstly, it has to go either to the United States of America or Great Britain where it is converted into a gaseous form known as uranium hexafluoride. [More…]
Recently the Department has had the service of a person from the United Kingdom who has had considerable experience in negotiating reciprocal agreements between Great Britain and other countries. [More…]
It seems to us that s. 4 1 is a special power which was enacted at a time when the need to secure Australian uranium for use by Great Britain and the United States of America in nuclear weapons was uppermost in the minds of those concerned. [More…]
For example, they were purged from Great Britain under Edward I. [More…]
Even after events such as these nations have been involved often in bloodcurdling civil wars- for example, Great Britain and the United States of America. [More…]
Only the black man fits the world pattern of international political warfare directed against the West by the East, ls it any wonder that the countries most clamant against racial discrimination are those who practise it most, that is Great Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. [More…]
He is used for household and industrial labour and to do menial jobs that whites will not do- as in Great Britain. [More…]
I think that one should recall that death duties were first imposed in Great Britain in the early 1 890s under the last administration, I think it was, of Mr Gladstone whose Chancellor of the Exchequer was that famous Liberal and a man who is still regarded as being one of the most eloquent exponents of Liberal philosophyand I mean Liberal; I do not mean Conservative philosophy- and who, on the introduction of the death duties in the House of Commons, used the expression: ‘We are all socialists now’. [More…]
We are now moving into a position which had become intolerable in Great Britain over 80 years ago. [More…]
Great Britain took formal possession of the Ashmores in 1 878 and Cartier was annexed in 1 909. [More…]
-Has the attention of the Minister representing the Minister for Transport been drawn to an article in today’s Sydney Morning Herald about a $lm promotional campaign undertaken by Qantas in Great Britain which shows, I understand, a photograph of a baldheaded, broken-nosed wrestler in a convict jacket holding a tray on which stand a can of Fosters lager and two glasses? [More…]
The Territory has changed hands more than once: Captain Bremer took possession of the Northern Australian coastline for Great Britain, as part of New South Wales, in 1 824. [More…]

In July 1915 those exigencies impelled the Imperial Government in Great Britain to establish an organisation for scientific research to serve the nation during and after the war. [More…]
If I refer back to the contribution made by Senator Puplick and draw attention to his passing reference to what happened in Great Britain in the 1910 to 1914 era we can see what the lack of a national science policy can cause. [More…]
The Germans were using many inventions and processes which had been developed in Great Britain but which had not been followed through in that country. [More…]
The chief powers of the congress were Russia, Austria, Prussia, France and Great Britain. [More…]
The outcome of the Ljubljana congress was the widening of the ridge between Great Britain and the three conservative powers of the Holy Alliance, that is, Austria, Prussia and Russia. [More…]
Great Britain designed the tank. [More…]
It involves the question of overseas advertising, particularly in Great Britain. [More…]
At some earlier stage I drew attention to the nature of advertisements that were being placed in Great Britain as part of Qantas ‘s promotional campaign. [More…]
I had occasion to draw attention to the fact that I think Qantas is indulging in an advertising campaign in Great Britain which is positively demeaning, positively degrading and certainly doing considerable disservice to Australia’s image in Great Britain and Europe. [More…]
They give the reasons why people in Great Britain, to whom this advertisement is directed, travel to Australia. [More…]
The report indicates that of the total number of people from Great Britain who are visiting Australia for any reason- some 82,000 people in 1977-44,000 people are visiting relatives, 13,000 are on holidays, 12,000 are on business, 5,000 are in transit, 400 are attending conventions and 8,000 are doing so for other reasons. [More…]
Yet the advertising for Qantas in Great Britain does not concentrate upon that. [More…]
If we are not prepared to participate in an initiative sponsored, amongst others, by the United States and Great Britain, adopted by the United Nations and accepted by the conflicting parties, how can we expect others to fulfil their obligations to act responsibly and co-operatively in efforts to settle disputes and restore stability in areas of conflict? [More…]
I am reminded of Lloyd George who went to the polls in Great Britain as Prime Minister on the promise that if he was re-elected he would hang the Kaiser. [More…]

Rather, I have left the possible terms of reference of the proposed committee very broad so that it will be up to the committee to investigate a wide variety of comparable systems which at present operate overseas, somewhat like the Houghton committee did in Great Britain. [More…]
Of the 80 replies received from Liberal Party organisations throughout Great Britain 63 were in favour of state aid and 10 were opposed to it. [More…]

[More…]
It is certainly true that if one were to observe over a prolonged period the nature of social relationships, the nature of physical relationships and the nature of sheer physical conditions of living in which most of these television soap operas and most of the television programs tend to be shown, one would get without doubt the most unrealistic picture of life in the United States, Great Britain, Australia or anywhere else. [More…]
In countries such as the United States of America and Great Britain, governments are concerned at the health risks which are presented by the increasing use of chemicals in food. [More…]
The decision by the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) to reappoint Sir Gordon Freeth for another year as Australian High Commissioner to Great Britain - [More…]

Lord Denning quoted at length a directive issued on 24 September 1952 by Sir David Maxwell Fyfe, then Home Secretary in Great Britain, to the Director-General of the Security Service. [More…]
I think it is important to understand that although relationships with Great Britain or the United States might be an important and significant part of the work of ASIO they are in fact subsidiary to the protection of Australian interests and the extent to which one gets information from overseas or the extent to which one provides information to people overseas can be judged only by the criteria of what is necessary in the defence of Australia and in the defence of Australian citizens. [More…]
To use just one example why governments should be a little more sceptical about setting up such secret organisations, I refer to the three British agentsBurgess, McLean and Philby- who worked for years in British security and used that organisation to feed information about Great Britain back to their masters, allegedly in the Soviet Union. [More…]
In fact, had the security organisation not been established in Great Britain it may well be that the masters of Philby, McLean and Burgess would have been able to find out less about Great Britain than they were able to find out by virtue of the fact that such a secret organisation had been established. [More…]
At a time when the Minister for Defence has had a number of overseas tours reviewing possible purchases in Great Britain and Europe, it seems strange that is is necessary to have such a large contingent for this purpose in the United States employed full time. [More…]
That was the Quebec agreement, which was signed by Canada, America and Great Britain. [More…]
I do not think it is necessary to go into the details of the trial, the way in which the state’s evidence was produced and the fact that a person in Great Britain has confessed now in fact to having been the person responsible for the murder of the person over whose death Mr Bhutto has been condemned. [More…]
I refer, for example, to Great Britain in 1926 and in 1960-61 when a general strike was called in support of the abolition of penal clauses. [More…]
There have been some set-backs, the most notable being that two countries with a profound effect upon Australia- America and Great Britain- have had a reversal in both their inflation and interest rates, significantly so in regard to interest rates. [More…]
At Question Time today I reminded honourable senators that the Government was proceeding with its interest rate policies, whereas the governments of the United States of America and Great Britain had policies which had resulted in significant increases in interest rates. [More…]
I hope the inquiry will be as productive as the inquiry conducted by Lord Annan into the nature of broadcasting in Great Britain, when the review of broadcasting matters in the light of current developments allowed the British broadcasting system as a whole to be set in a number of new directions in a very profitable and productive fashion. [More…]
Group membership of the Shoe and Allied Trade Research Association of Great Britain has been arranged and subsidised. [More…]

One should keep this in mind because, as Senator Primmer has said, we used to say it about Great Britain and the sad fact is that the number of its naval bases has declined. [More…]
New Zealand has legislation to cover this, as does Great Britain. [More…]
The second largest source was Great Britain and if the refugee component is included, the third was Malaysia. [More…]
The problem was always one for Great Britain to decide. [More…]
It still is and the sooner Great Britain can bring ZimbabweRhodesia to legality the sooner she can decolonise her in the same way as she has decolonised her other colonies over the years. [More…]
At the moment, at $1.20 a gallon, it is exactly one-half of what it is in Great Britain. [More…]
I point out to the Senate that in Great Britain the Government set up a ‘think tank’. [More…]
The agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland concerning nuclear transfers between Australia and the United Kingdom, together with an agreed minute and an exchange of letters; and [More…]
There has been a substantial abandonment of principle by Australia, Great Britain and the other countries which took part in the Lusaka conference. [More…]
African countries but also to countries such as Australia, Great Britain and the United States, will not be able to retain the limited advances they have made. [More…]
If they see that even what Smith and Muzorewa were able to agree to in Salisbury is unacceptable to the African countries and also to countries such as Australia, Great Britain and the United States, they will say: ‘This is the sort of world in which we live. [More…]
Does Great Britain’s membership of the European Economic Community require it to offer medical registration to doctors from all EEC countries? [More…]
In the event that not all these doctors normally would be able to obtain automatic registration in Australia, what provisions exist to cover the registration in this country of doctors registered in Great Britain by virtue of that country’s membership of the EEC? [More…]
Since this would ensure a more effective compliance with the Government’s ban on advertising of cigarettes and tobacco on electronic media, will the Minister undertake to examine the British provisions with a view to their being applied in Australia on the same basis of agreement between industry and government as has occurred in Great Britain? [More…]
When he could not get himself a place of power, as Ambassador to Great Britain, he put Labor out of power, in 1975. [More…]
Its electronic advertising continues because it is able to circumvent the regulations in ways not permitted, for example, in Great Britain where the British Broadcasting Corporation has moved to bring about more effective compliance with the ban on electronic advertising. [More…]
Great Britain has decided to give a substantial role in fostering and supporting research and development to a body called the National Research and Development Corporation, which operates within the framework of its science and technology policy- indeed it has operated for 25 years- and is now making an extremely healthy profit. [More…]
Financial support comes from South Pacific and other governments, including Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Canada, from United Nations agencies and from private foundations. [More…]
For example, the comprehensive test ban treaty is being negotiated by the United States, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and Great Britain, while the treaty on the prohibition of chemical weapons remains the province of the two super-powers, the United States and the USSR. [More…]
That situation occurred firstly in Great Britain and spread widely to a number of other countries, particularly America. [More…]
Among the people who took part were: Mr Ramsey Clark, a former Attorney-General of the United States of America, not generally regarded as the spearhead of the John Birch Society; Lord Lloyd of Hampstead, Professor of Law at the University of London, a Labour life peer; the President of the French Criminal Court; the President of the Paris Bar; the VicePresident of the French League of Human Rights; the Professor of Law at the University Rene Descartes; Monsieur Gaston Monnerville, a former President of the French Senate, a leading French left wing politician and a resistance leader during the Second World War; a professor of law from the University of Mexico, Spanish by birth, a refugee from Franco’s Spain; from Great Britain, the Rt Hon. [More…]
There are deprivations of human rights in our country- of course there are- in the United States and in Great Britain. [More…]
Nor do the people in Great Britain, the originators of the common law, these days consider that the common law is adequate. [More…]
I think that is obvious from the entry of Great Britain into the European Economic Community, its adoption of European conventions and its allowing the situation in which the European courts can now apply legislation which can override the common law. [More…]
In exactly the same vein the most distinguished Lord Chancellor of Great Britain, Lord Hailsham, has this to say in his recent biography entitled ‘The Door Wherein I Went’: [More…]
Finally, Sir Norman Anderson again presenting a Hamlyn Lecture entitled ‘Liberty, Law and Justice’ was at great pains to spend part of his discussion on illustrating why he believed the state of the common law in Great Britain was such as to require, in that country, the enactment of a Bill of rights. [More…]
We find it expressed very considerably in Great Britain where many of the tasks that are performed in the public sector of the economy are performed by those people who have migrated to Great Britain from the West Indies and in the social tensions that are created as a result of seeing them perform the tasks that they do. [More…]
We can think ourselves fortunate when we look at the financial troubles which the United States of America and Great Britain are in today. [More…]
The rapidly increasing interest rates, going hand in hand with the high inflation rates, of America and Great Britain must be causing absolute turmoil in those countries. [More…]
Did the recent Royal Commission on the National Health Service in Great Britain, chaired by Sir Alec Merrison, recommend in paragraph 2.6 that the first objective of the National Health Service should be ‘to encourage and assist individuals to remain healthy’? [More…]
I understand that the Department of Health has received a copy of the report of the Royal Commission on the National Health Service in Great Britain and is currently studying its implications for Australia. [More…]
