A doctor’s report stated that this man was suffering from cellulosis, a skin infection of the right foot and leg and that this could have resulted from abrasions to the skin caused by the leg irons. [More…]
If the man offended the honourable senator by thinking he was a dangerous looking person I am sorry. [More…]
For example, the study of the geology of the sea floor; the potential of the sea as a source of food and pharmacological products; the need for and means of conserving our marine environment; the effect upon that environment of the activities of man, in his attempts to win new treasures from the sea and of predators, among which I would anticipate that the Crown of Thorns starfish would be a continuing subject of study until the problems it has created may have been solved. [More…]
When you take into account medical and hospital insurance, a man earning between $42.50 and $45.50, assuming he sought to cover himself for the public ward charge of $10 a clay and if the schedule contained on page 85 oi the Wedgwood Committee’s report were adopted, would have to pay for medical and hospital insurance 49c a week in the case of class B determination and 98c a week in the case of class C determination. [More…]
I remember that when man first went to the moon and there was a big storm afterwards someone suggested it was probably because of man’s activities in outer space. [More…]
In view of the fact that the Allied forces in Vietnam are prepared to spend about half a million dollars per capita for every Vietnamese man, woman and child they kill, will the Government give further consideration to its proposed payment of a paltry$ 15,000 for relief of victims of the Peruvian earthquake? [More…]
It seemed to me perfectly proper and what I would expect to happen because, after all, the Senate is not a one man band. [More…]
Is it not a fact that the young lad referred to gave himself up, that the apprehension referred to was when he gave himself up and that the Commanding Officer had told him that he thought he would not be sent to Holsworthy if he gave himself up? [More…]
Has the Minister any objection to the young man being examined medically by some outside person, the examination to be paid for by the family of the young man? [More…]
A man can be charged and his case heard but he has no right of appeal. [More…]

A man who has to earn his living in the wool industry, who then has to play his part in the organisation and who finally has to take his seat on this Commission will find his lime pretty fully taken up. [More…]
When Senator Drake -Brock man takes charge of his share of the appropriations. [More…]

[More…]
If a man who works in the town is unemployed, he has certain sources from which to obtain assistance. [More…]
My friend, Senator Kennelly, seems to have misunderstood the wording of my inquiry and to have found in it some slight or offensive personal reference to the Leader of the Australian Labor Party, Mr Whitlam, a man for whom I have high esteem. [More…]
Could any Labor man take exception to it - except, perhaps, George Crawford and/or Bill Hartley? [More…]
That conclusion is supplemented by the opinions of numerous people throughout Tasmania. [More…]
Each one of them has proved to me the temperemental unsuitability of this man to carry out a government function such as that of a trustee in bankruptcy. [More…]
The recital we have just heard by Senator Greenwood disclosed that the trustee’s behaviour, although strictly within the law, has been devoid of any human sympathy for people in distress and has had regard only for the interests of the creditors. [More…]
1 want an inquiry into this man’s behaviour. [More…]
It concerns the estate of a young man who took his life, as I mentioned, because, as his widow told me, of this type of treatment over a period of time. [More…]

[More…]
Government the desirability of revising its interpretation of the Geneva Protocol, and declaring thai it regards all chemical substances employed for their toxic effects on man, animals or plants as being included in the prohibitions laid down by that Protocol. [More…]
Senator Drake- Brock man, do you carry those statistics in your mind? [More…]

Senator Drake-Brock man will be the Minister who responds in relation to Committee D. The terms of my motion will continue as follows: [More…]
Secondly, is the Minister further aware that Mr Bryant claimed in this telegram that the North Vietnamese were committing aggression in Cambodia as blatant as the Germans in Belgium in 1914 and 1940’ and called for a policy of Australian military aid based on the formula ‘one man, one gun, plus communications and transport’? [More…]
He is the man with the Katherine meatworks and other enterprises in the north. [More…]
I can’ assure Senator Georges that there is a great deal of sympathy for the encouragement of credit unions which, in many cases, are the banks of the working man. [More…]
It is most unfair that a man can be held to owe so much because someone by averment says that he does owe that amount. [More…]
It is then up to that man to prove the contrary. [More…]
It is well within his knowledge that a medical examination is carried out before any man is required to undertake national service. [More…]
Courageously this young man is determined to stand by his firm conviction that his actions are right and proper. [More…]
You< are a very judicial, magisterial man. [More…]
It may be that the case which Senator Turnbull espoused is the case of a man who put private conscience above all other obligations. [More…]
Senator McAuliffe is a man of great integrity and honour and is not a person who would read from documents or attempt to have incorporated in Hansard documents that are false, lt is a direct insult to this honourable man for this motion to be moved by a Government senator after the number of refusals that Senator McAuliffe had when he sought leave to have the documents incorporated. [More…]
Surely any mature man cannot take exception to what Senator Wright said. [More…]
Senator Keeffe is a man of great experience and I am sure that in the circumstances he will reconsider his position. [More…]
It is interesting to note that this young man has followed in the footsteps of his father in fulfilling a diplomatic post in Nigeria, later as commercial secretary for his country in Tokyo, and then, on what might be termed the social level as Senator Drake-Brockman pointed out, as representative of Her Majesty at Fiji. [More…]
This shows the hollowness of the argument of a man who complains about a manufacturer. [More…]
The individual by whom this matter was raised really has no argument with the company and is anxious to have another vehicle manufactured by the same company. [More…]
I do not think anything I said showed that this gentleman had any particular argument with the Ford Motor Co. of Aus tralia Ltd, other than about a certain vehicle which had been produced by that company. [More…]
In order to set the record straight, the facts of the matter are that an agreement to lease an XA Falcon, to be used by the company for which this man works, is currently being drawn up. [More…]
We should ask the Attorney-General (Senator Greenwood) to appeal to the police forces throughout Australia to direct every available man to search for any person who could hurt the public and for any material that could be used to injure the public. [More…]
A man was today defamed and I think it is necessary- [More…]
If he read or listened to my speech the other week, he would know that I agree that it is an anomaly that charities should get a testamentary gift free of duty whereas a man’s widow and dependent children have to pay duty to get their share. [More…]
At the present time the situation is that in many cases throughout Australia a man leaves a section of his estate to charities, perhaps with the object in mind of reducing the burden of duty on his widow and children, and in most cases the charities receive cash and the widow and children are left with property on which they have to try to raise cash to pay estate duties. [More…]

It came from a man who has had practical experience in the wool industry and he said what he thought. [More…]
Senator Hannan referred to the deficiency payment of 79.7c per kilogram and said that he has received representations from many people in the industry saying that this amount should be increased. [More…]
The AttorneyGeneral (Senator Greenwood) has given an example of a man who might be told to mind his own business. [More…]
I take the case of a man who is a paraplegic and is confined to a wheel chair. [More…]
As a result of this treatment he may be able to manipulate objects or to make objects. [More…]
But the issue concerns a man, who is hardly able to carry out any manipulation, being deprived of any small amounts that he may earn. [More…]
As the Minister’s advisers obviously well know, and as the trade union movement and, no doubt, government departments know, many agreements providing for that now exist in the community. [More…]
I had contact only with the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia, and with the man from the Yugoslav Foreign Ministry with whom I had a discussion lasting about 2 hours. [More…]
Usher of the Black Rod, 1 wish to know who that man is. [More…]
1 man in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. [More…]
I have been asked what I would say to the man who has lived in a trust home and who has asked to buy it but cannot because of the Labor Party’s policy. [More…]
The last man in Australia to espouse the theory which the honourable senator is putting was Sir Otto Neimeyer who said that once you start to have a depressive situation, certainly throughout industry, the remedy is to cut government expenditure. [More…]
I was deeply concerned about 2 cases in Victoria - the execution of a woman named Lee, who was carried under most extraordinary and unpleasant circumstances to the death chamber, and the execution of a man named Ryan, about which 1 heard from the prison chaplain, who is a very close and respected friend of mine. [More…]
In answer to the honourable senator’s question as to whether the Prime Minister is a man of his word, I state that the answer is yes. [More…]
Is it not also a fact that earlier this year the Prime Minister and many other ministers stated that if the Senate did reject the Commonwealth Electoral Bill twice a double dissolution would be sought? [More…]
If the Leader of the Government is able to speak for the Prime Minister, will he say, firstly, whether the Prime Minister is a man of his word and, secondly, when he proposes to approach the Governor-General - now, next month or never? [More…]
I refer to the Government’s new proposals for the future of the car industry which involve the possible establishment of 2 Japanese manufacturers, namely Toyota and Nissan, in this country. [More…]
In view of the labour shortage in this country, and in view of the Japanese policy, has the Government agreed that these countries could bring Japanese employees to help man such establishments? [More…]
There is no doubt that that atomic device ended a war that was testing man’s capacity to live as he wanted to live and freed man from one of the greatest scourges that was ever devised by man- a fanatical psychopath who had been built up by the fascist forces. [More…]
The reactionary capitalist forces of the world had built up Hitler and he in turn was able to suborn others of his ilk like Mussolini and the powers in Japan in order to form a triumvirate or a troika, or whatever one likes to call the trio that challenged the rights of man to live in freedom on this earth. [More…]
The experiment of man against his fellow man where he could resolve his problems by annihilation is not really part of the evolutionary process of mankind. [More…]
Man has evolved from the mud and the depths into his present estate by the use of intelligence. [More…]
That is the differentiation between man and the animal. [More…]
But the human who claims to have devine origins is supposed to be above the level. [More…]
Yet here we are in 1 973, after the experience in 1 945 of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, with people like Senator Sim who come into this Senate and try to justify the extension of this wicked, animal approach to the solution of man ‘s problems. [More…]
-The testing of bombs to destroy your fellow man. [More…]
But if there are instances of human rights which are jeopardised and threatened in that country, I believe that just because we happen to be growing in closer relationship, government to government, we should not be sufficiently tamed not to raise our voice in protest, and to seek a change or an amelioration of the lot of people in those countries. [More…]
Whatever the differences between countries, however the balance between authority and liberty is resolved in these different countries, the free peoples- those who seek to elevate the dignity of man, to laud him for what he is and for what he is able to achieve- will reflect, I believe, the measure of their own value of freedom by the consistency with which they defend freedom in their own countries and likewise challenge those who would deny freedom to other countries. [More…]
I suppose that the anthropologists take the view that man is a gregarious animal. [More…]
Are these actions by the Government a way of increasing taxes on the ordinary working man who holds a life insurance policy. [More…]
Senator Turnbull must be the best informed man in this place on international air fares judging from the number of times that he speaks here on this question. [More…]
1 ) Has the Attorney-General read the report in the Sydney Sun’of 26 March 1973 that a Yugoslav journalist, Mr George Maric, has identified himself as the man who warned ‘The Sun’ that the Attorney-General ‘s life was in danger? [More…]
I hope that like Senator McManus I will be extremely brief. [More…]
As I sit down, I testify that I am also a Capital Hill man from way back. [More…]
I wonder what sustains him, he hates so many people. [More…]
I thought Senator Wright would be a man who would love people, but he hates so many people that I wonder that it does not consume him. [More…]
The marketing authorities in Tasmania have been very lax. [More…]
I was in the United States of America a couple of years ago and on the west coast they were saying: ‘If only we could get Tasmanian apples. [More…]
The Tasmanian marketing people were still trying to sell them on the Continent. [More…]
We have to live in the present and we have to realise that there must be a new approach to the marketing of our apples in Tasmania. [More…]
Even in Tasmania one cannot get a decent apple. [More…]
These parasites who have been living on the backs of the Tasmanian orchardists for generations would not even allow decent apples to go to the shops for tourists to buy. [More…]
We get the specks, the seconds, the cast-offs in our own shops in Tasmania. [More…]
I do not know whether the words used were ‘I know’ a man, ‘I knew of a man or anything else, but Senator Webster certainly referred to the matter. [More…]
Will the Minister introduce a system whereby a birth certificate will be required for identification before any claim is received or compensation paid, so putting a check on this practice, stopping these people from bludging on the community, particularly on the working man, and offending the genuinely unemployed? [More…]
He was a man of great personal charm and obviously of very great ability. [More…]
There are many calls on a man who has been Governor-General or on a woman who is the wife or widow of a former GovernorGeneral arising from the position they have held. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that last night a man telephoned Channel 7 television station in Melbourne and made allegations to a senior reporter that he had been involved in a similar incident involving Australian soldiers serving in Vietnam? [More…]
Will the Minister investigate the man’s allegations that while serving as a lance-corporal of 6 Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment, in the Mekong delta about 2 years ago his company approached a Vietnamese village and was fired upon by American troops who apparently were torturing Vietnamese civilians? [More…]
When deciding suitable alternative forms of recognition of outstanding public service in place of the former honours awards, would it not be appropriate to provide an Australian honour running even to a special citizenship status for international figures who render great service to mankind, regardless of colour, class, creed or nationality? [More…]
In any event, is it possible to suitably express the sentiments of all Australians for the incredibly successful endeavours of this man who is undoubtedly the most outstanding figure of our time? [More…]
It is a very sensitive position concerning a young man whom we are trying to protect and give a chance to. [More…]
At first the man did not want to go. [More…]
Now, because of what is going on, because of what happened last night, because a doubt has been raised, the Australian Government is trying to give this man an opportunity to make up his mind, with a reasonable cross-section of people present who have interested themselves in the case and wish to be assured that he is not under too much pressure in making his decisions. [More…]
What this exercise is all about is to give the freedom of choice to a young man in a foreign country. [More…]
During yesterday afternoon Mr Ermolenko spent quite a lot of time with our man Mr Henne who told me that he agreed with Professor Callaway that Mr Ermolenko was relaxed and wanted to leave. [More…]
My question is addressed to the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the hope that questions asked in the Senate might advance the possibility that this young man will have freedom of choice as to whether he remains in Australia. [More…]
I ask the Minister whether the consular access to which he has referred means consular access permanently between the time of the interview and Mr Ermolenko leaving the country. [More…]
In relation to the present position of Mr Georgi Ermolenko in Perth, does he not agree that the desire of the Australian Government to see its own citizens when in custody in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is quite different from the request that is now made- that there should be some period when this young man can make up his own mind and consult privately in the absence of Russian consular officials who may be in a position to intimidate him? [More…]
Will he give the undertaking for which the Leader of the Opposition asked, namely, that this man be free from the Russians to make his decision without improper pressures or influences being available to prevent him from giving a decision which is a decision of his choice? [More…]
We acknowledge the capabilities of departments such as the Department of Main Roads to construct main roads but the Minister is the man responsible for the whole scheme of planning such matters. [More…]
I point out that the returning officer of this union is the man who handles the ballots in New South Wales for Sir Robert Askin. [More…]
Lower personal income tax giving the working man more money in his pocket and the trade unions less reason for high wage demands. [More…]
I rise only to say that a valiant effort was made by the Opposition this evening to draw attention to the plight of the State of Tasmania in the present circumstances in this nation. [More…]
That situation has been highlighted by Tasmanian senators from the Opposition. [More…]
I speak on this motion for the third reading only to highlight the fact that the people who on other occasions have said that they speak for Tasmania voted against a proposition as indicated in the Opposition’s amendment to the motion for the second reading which indicated that the moneys which were advanced to Tasmania were inadequate and that the Government should make provision for further funds to enable the Tasmanian people and commercial undertakings to enjoy a shipping transport cost no greater per ton mile than the mail freight rate applying in the other States of Australia. [More…]
We only regret that the man who speaks for the State of South Australia as he claims, as the Liberal Movement senator, was not prepared to speak on behalf of the State of Tasmania. [More…]
I have had drawn to my attention recently the case of a man from a European country which has been taken over and become one of the communist countries. [More…]
A forged petition was put up by the white man’s vote in order to let the Townsville City Council take over at that time. [More…]
You can have your say when I am finished, little man, because the only thing you know about is running a third rate hotel down on the Gold Coast. [More…]
As Senator McLaren said, this man came into the chamber dressed in a polo-neck shirt or jumper. [More…]
I think it is the height of impudence for a man- even a Chairman of Committees- to take unto himself the right of deciding who is to enter the people’s House of Parliament. [More…]
If people cannot enter this chamber dressed in a reasonable manner, the day will come when they will not be able to enter it at all. [More…]
-Will the Minister representing the Minister for Transport produce, for the information of the Senate, the cargo handling rate per man employed and per tonne hour at the Australian container terminals for the 12 months ended 30 June 1974? [More…]
I think he is really intending to say that Mr Cooley is the man who can get action in this area, and Senator Mulvihill is hoping to stir matters up. [More…]
While I accept the apology contained in the second paragraph, there is no doubt in my mind and in the minds of many other honourable senators who saw and heard the incident, that the honourable member for Kennedy (Mr Katter), the exMinister, was very angry, was gesticulating in an angry manner and that he said to the honourable senator who had just spoken: ‘Step outside, Keeffe’. [More…]
I do not intend to take the matter any further other than to say that the honourable member for Kennedy is a man of great political experience. [More…]
I have known Mr Ilbery for many years. [More…]
He is the senior partner in a prominent firm of solicitors in Perth with an extensive commercial practice, and I have always found him to be a man of high repute. [More…]
I am telling him now that, as a senator, when such a serious case was raised, he should have persisted with the State authorities to get this man justice. [More…]
He should take the matter, follow it up and see that this young man gets justice [More…]
An Australian Deputy Commander took up duty at North West Cape on 1 9 July 1 974 while a Royal Australian Navy contingent of 47 officers and men will be posted to the station before the end of June 1975. [More…]
Fourteen of these will man the Australian communications centre. [More…]
Wechsler was a member of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation, and the whole argument was destroyed, because the man concerned was not a member of ASIO. [More…]
Permitting of the limit of $1.50 per man hour to increase to $2.25 per man hour is very liberal. [More…]
We have much to preserve in that which has developed in Australia since the advent of the white man in 1788; but there are many other areas that need to be looked at very closely. [More…]
Whilst we are looking at the preservation of the national heritage of Australia, we must not forget that there are many things which need to be preserved and which were here long before 1788. [More…]
We want to preserve buildings and other aspects of the history of this nation for future generations of Australians; but let us not forget that there are many other things which need to be preserved and which had their origin long before the advent of the white man to Australia. [More…]
Is it any wonder that a government, in dealing with established Treasury procedures, should entertain some doubts about its relationship with that Treasury when the head of that Department secretly undertakes investigations of a man and does not want the government to know anything about it? [More…]
If a man makes a statement he is entitled to be examined upon it. [More…]
I ask: Does the Australian Stevedoring Industry Authority anticipate making a severance payment to surplus labour at between $10,000 and $20,000 a man? [More…]
A manufacturer whose name it would be improper of me to mention as to do so would be to embarrass him but who would be known to nearly every honourable senator who sits in this place was in my office last week. [More…]
He is a man who has to find a payroll for thousands and thousands of workers. [More…]
What has to be seen and has to be seen clearly is that we have to bring about a psychological change in the thinking of the Government that you support, Sir, and support for proper reasons, so that it accepts that we cannot advance our social structure any faster than the wealth is created in the community and that once the demand in the form of welfare upon the productive resources of the community exceeds a given point- I suggest that it is reaching that stage now if it has not already reached it- the economy begins to sag. [More…]
It is not for the Opposition to overcome the problem, but every man and woman in the other place and in this chamber who supports the Government has the responsibility to try to change the Government’s attitude towards the economy of this country, because all the Government’s aspirations in relation to social welfare will be meaningless unless we can get the economy back on to its feet again. [More…]
Is it not a fact that there is absolutely no evidence available to the Australian authorities of any association by that man with any Croatian nationalist group in this country? [More…]
He is a man of brilliance in the work that he is doing, and it is not right to criticise him in this cowards’ chamber, as Senator Everett has done. [More…]
We were also told by Senator James McClelland in this chamber and by Mr Connor that Mr Khemlani’s credentials had been checked and that he was a man of great integrity and probity. [More…]
-Even Mr Cameron, the man who claimed to be responsible for the whole thing when he spoke in the House of Representatives, has been removed from the office that he wanted to hold on to and is now languishing as the Minister for Science and Consumer Affairs. [More…]
In 1971 a man was found guilty of the manslaughter of his child in a child abuse case. [More…]
No action was taken against the man concerned but the child was removed. [More…]
There has been a pattern of perjury that has resulted in a man losing his job. [More…]
The major reason that I have raised this matter tonight is that there is a man out of work. [More…]
Mr Bray is without a job because of the false evidence that was brought against him by the very man who perjured himself against me. [More…]
In relation to the problems in the Northern Territory, I will take his remarks on board and convey them to the Minister for the Northern Territory (Mr Adermann) and to the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (Mr Viner). [More…]
I think Senator Kilgariff can be assured that those of us who know him understand that he is the most experienced man in this Senate- probably in the Parliament- in the affairs of the Northern Territory and certainly in regard to Aboriginal affairs. [More…]
The most important of the rates is that payable in respect of registered waterside workers employed on weekly hire at permanent or continuous ports, that is, for approximately 85 per cent of the workforce. [More…]
This rate is presently $4 per man hour, which is the maximum defined by the Act. [More…]
I said before that he is a man of a few words, and that is something attractive in this chamber. [More…]
I appeal to the Minister, through you, Mr Chairman, to give some guarantee to the Committee and to the people of Australia that there will be true freedom of choice for the citizens of Australia to change from one fund to another, thus promoting the true competition between funds which is the desire of the Government. [More…]
I am provoked to do so by the unprecedented performance of the amateur who has just sat down. [More…]
Senator Grimes, from the Tamar Valley, is a remarkably studious and purposeful man but, inflamed, perhaps, by ambitions of political promotion, he presumes to offer these semisatirical and condemnatory reflections upon a statement put forward purposefully, I think, by a Ministers who is eager to provide information to the public of Australia that he has obtained from scientists who work under his ministerial responsibility. [More…]
Mr Chairman, many years ago Senator Wright used to be called- it is many years ago- the Hursey man. [More…]
Senator Cavanagh, did you refer to Senator Harradine as a corrupt man? [More…]
Mr Acting Deputy President, you are a fair man. [More…]
She is the sister of the man concerned. [More…]
It deals with the sufferings of this man. [More…]
There is no doubt that John Armstrong was regarded as a very loyal member of his political party and a man of great integrity which probably is as important a quality as any that one can have in public life. [More…]
He became Chairman of the Sydney County Council in 1963, serving in that post until 1965, when he achieved the first of what he himself described as two of his major ambitions as a young man. [More…]
For many years John Armstrong strongly believed in the establishment of an Australian system of honours, a view he put forward as far back as the late 1940s. [More…]
However, an allowance of approximately 750 man weeks per month is allocated as the average time spent in the CES on the collection, collation and transmission of ail regular statistical returns to regional offices and central office. [More…]
The facts are that, but for the mining industry, the man on the land would be facing a far better future than the dismal one he now must inevitably come to terms with. [More…]
I knew Rex for only a short time, but he was a man who impressed me very much indeed. [More…]
I believed him to be a dinkum Australian, a man who loved his country, a man with a vision and a man who believed in and worked towards Australia being owned by Australians. [More…]
I am sure he will be recorded in Australian history as such a man. [More…]
However, I should like to speak of Rex Connor, the man. [More…]
He was undoubtedly a strong, determined and fearless man. [More…]
He had human and personal qualities both rich and rare that inspired and retained that wealth and warmth of friendship. [More…]
I along with many other people are disturbed at the near hysterical and defensive attitude of you and some of the medical profession in regard to Doctor Brych. [More…]
Had you consulted the Parliamentary Library you would have seen my statements that and I quote ‘I am not a medical man and unable to judge whether the claims about Doctor Brych ‘s treatment are true or not. [More…]
Why is it that so many people including yourself are more concerned at condemning Doctor Brych in his absence than in hearing him in person. [More…]
I am not a medical man as you say senator but even I can diagnose blind prejudice when I see it. [More…]
I preface my question, which is directed to the Minister for Education, by saying that whilst I appreciate that the Commonwealth has no constitutional power or formal responsibility regarding educational standards in the state school systems, does the Minister consider that he has any duty, as the Minister responsible for education in the whole country, to see that modern courses such as Man- A course of Study- MACOS- and the Social Education Materials Projects- SEMP- which are professionally designed for and relevant to all Australian schools are used in those schools? [More…]
A controversy has also surrounded material for MACOS- Man: a Course of Study- but that is a different subject altogether. [More…]
-I ask the Minister for Social Security whether she has read a letter written to the editor of the Adelaide Advertiser in which a woman states that she visited the office of the Department of Social Security, where the simple process of filling in one form took well over four hours and it took two hours even to find her file. [More…]
The letter also referred to a man who had left his children in a city car park thinking that his visit to the Department would not take long. [More…]
On the other hand, MACOS, which stands as an acronym for Man: a Course of Study, is an entirely American production, as I understand it, and is beyond our ordinary responsibility, as the honourable senator has said. [More…]
Will the Minister for Education make appropriate arrangements to display within Parliament House material of Man: [More…]
Against a background of the shared needs of man, the opportunity which the Commonwealth can supply for the exchange of knowledge, ideas and personnel requires the practical co-operation of each member nation in order to reap the maximum benefit. [More…]
Certainly, it is important that the Principal of the institution be a practical man. [More…]
By ‘practical’, I mean a practical seaman. [More…]
What is the text of the instructions which are issued to officers of the Department of Social Security in relation to determining whether or not a woman in receipt of a supporting parent’s benefit or widow’s pension is living with a man in a bona fide domestic relationship. [More…]
It has long been the policy in the administration of the Social Services Act that a man and woman, not married, but living together and sharing the economies and advantages of a legally married couple, will not be accorded benefits greater than those granted a married couple. [More…]
In these circumstances it should be noted that a widow’s pension cannot be granted to a claimant, while she is living with a man as his ‘de facto’ wife. [More…]
Similarly payment of widow’s pension cannot continue to a widow pensioner who commences to live with a man on this basis. [More…]
A ‘dependent female’ means a woman who has lived with a man as his wife on a bona fide domestic basis, though not legally married to him. [More…]
Mr President, the Opposition does not oppose the measure, and I remind honourable senators that it was Labor which introduced sufficient salaries for members of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly to enable the man in the street to move into the Assembly and take his place. [More…]
I did indicate earlier today the position in respect of the attitude of the person who interviewed this man for employment. [More…]
I am saying that the attack now being made by this Government, starting with its Prime Minister and working down to the lowest- spelt with a capital L- member of the Cabinet, namely Mr Viner, on the Chairman of the Northern Land Council has been one of bullying this man and the Northern Land Council by stating that the Government will bring in special legislation if it does not get its way and that it will desecrate the Aboriginal sacred places in the Northern Territory as if they are going out of fashion. [More…]
Senator Bonner would know that that man got a good serve, and that when I came back to Canberra I told the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs that the man was unfit to be an agent for the Government. [More…]
I never squeal for the Chairman’s protection, although I do commend the Minister for Social Security for her attitude when the flak was flying around, and also Senator Walters who, as Chairman of the Committee displayed a high degree of tact. [More…]
The letter from Dr Everingham which is now public property, is possibly one of the most understanding letters that could be written by any man who has a concern for another individual who finds himself in trouble. [More…]
By not making the document public himself, he was man enough not to indicate how he had gone out of his way to assist. [More…]
The future of this land is still unknown, but it is worth noting that Galarrwuy Yunupingu praised Dr Everingham and described him as one of his greatest friends, the one white man he would trust above all others. [More…]
1 am very anxious to give them to the honourable senator because Dr Baker is the type of man we are very anxious to have serving on such a body. [More…]
Senator Georges wants to hear only the qualifications and not something of the excellence of the man. [More…]
But I would seek from him, even at this late hour, an assurance that, given the present staff ceilings situation which we have been told about so often, the additional resources to man the Administrative Appeals Tribunal at a satisfactory level for this and other areas will be found within the lifetime of this Government. [More…]
In regard to this man’s employment in this place, I point out that he was employed on a casual or sessional basis. [More…]
He admired the man who stood up for his personal beliefs and resigned, but Senator Sheil never had that opportunity. [More…]
by leaveLast week, I had the opportunity to travel to Tasmania to pay personally my respects to Eric Bessell ‘s widow and family. [More…]
I never knew Eric Bessell as an organisation man because that was not my level of involvement in the days before we were both in the Senate. [More…]
But in the Senate I have to say that, apart from being a good friend, he was a good senator and a good man. [More…]
He was not a man who was over temperamental or self seeking in the way that he behaved as a senator. [More…]
I say to his wife, Rita, and to his six children of whom he was so proud and with such good reason that I, amongst many others- certainly those of the class of ‘74- extend our most sincere condolences. [More…]
We feel a very personal grief at the passing of Eric Bessell- a young man, at 55, with a comparatively young family of six children, of each of whom he was enormously proud, and deserved to be. [More…]
I believe that he was one of the few politicians able to acomplish the best of both worlds by being a good family man as well as a good politician. [More…]
The number of people who attended his funeral underlined how well the North Coast of Tasmania in particular but Tasmania as a whole respected him. [More…]
I knew him when he was a member of the organisation of the Liberal Party and know of the very devoted work he gave to the Party over many years, not only in Tasmania but also in the Australia-wide organisation. [More…]
Many people are in his debt for that work. [More…]
I, therefore, had the opportunity to getting to know Eric Bessell for the man that he was. [More…]
He was a very sincere and honest man. [More…]
As I said, he was a most sincere man. [More…]
I was Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Industry and Trade when Eric became a member of this Parliament and that Committee. [More…]
I think I speak for all members of that Committee when I say that Eric Bessell was a courteous man. [More…]
-by leave-I also knew Eric Bessell for many years. [More…]
Whereas other honourable senators knew him mainly from his political involvement I knew him far more in many other ways. [More…]
He was very much a man of the community. [More…]
It is in ways such as this that I certainly and I think most other Tasmanians will remember Eric Bessell. [More…]
When Eric was elected to this place and I first met him, after talking to him for a short time I realised that I had met a man who was capable of great warmth and who would be capable of giving of himself not only to those with whom he worked but also to this Parliament. [More…]
He loved his State of Tasmania and worked very hard for it. [More…]
I was a guest in his home in Tasmania and he showed me around his State with a great sense of pride. [More…]
By way of a question recently we elicited from the Attorney-General information that the man appointed to head the royal commission, Mr Justice McGregor, was a man who could receive a benefit of many thousands of dollars. [More…]
I am not suggesting that the Government influenced him, but one would have thought a Government that was not involved in the decision to be made, a government that wanted to appear just, would not appoint a judge who was depending upon government action for a benefit of many thousands of dollars. [More…]
One is a High Court judge and the other is the judge selected to undertake an inquiry which found there was nothing wrong with the activities of the man whom the Government could not dismiss from Cabinet. [More…]
The late Paramount Ruler of Malaysia obviously was a man of great distinction in his country and contributed greatly to the development of that nation. [More…]
He may be a man who would be reaching retirement so we cannot make it a fixed term. [More…]
The honourable senator who is interjecting at the moment would know no more about Aborigines than the man in the moon because he is not an Aborigine. [More…]
He looks at the Aboriginal question through the eyes of a white man. [More…]
How in the name of God can he stand up here and through a white man’s eyes view and understand the things that mean something to Aborigines? [More…]
I did not know Sir David Brand personally but I understand that his reputation was that of a man of great sincerity and great humanity. [More…]
As Senator Carrick has mentioned, he was an exserviceman who served overseas during the Second World War. [More…]
It is not proposed to authorise the considerable expenditure of man hours that would be required to answer the question. [More…]
It was in January 1971 that the Government of President Obote was overthrown in a military coup by the man who was to become President Amin. [More…]
-by leave- I have no desire to injure any man with false or untruthful statements. [More…]
I was informed by a person who I thought was a reliable informant and, having told the story, I expressed my desire to protect the workers of this building. [More…]
I also mentioned in my speech that, on the information given to me today by my informant, at that stage Mr Pretty was prepared to say that the incident did not happen. [More…]
I accepted my informant as reliable. [More…]
-I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Productivity: Is it correct that at present the Australian Bureau of Statistics has gone part of the way in preparing a program for the uniform collection of Australiawide statistics on man hours lost due to industrial accidents and disease and on the causes of such accidents and disease but that this program cannot be instituted because of staff ceilings set by the Government? [More…]
Honourable senators should condemn not only the manner in which this terrible deed has been carried out but also the fact that many other people have died in similar circumstances as a result of this violence and these crimes which deserve the utmost condemnation of us all. [More…]
Senator Carrick has outlined the quite remarkable career of Lord Mountbatten, as well as his personal contact with the man. [More…]
In reading the history of Lord Mountbatten it is remarkable that any one man could experience so much in one lifetime. [More…]
Most of the achievements for which he will be remembered involve his service during the last war and particularly, insofar as we in this part of the world are concerned, his period as Supreme Allied Commander in South East Asia and subsequently as Viceroy of India. [More…]
Like Senator Carrick, many people in Australia- possibly in this Parliament- would have served with Lord Mountbatten during those campaigns and they would have understood the strength of his leadership as well as the humanity of the man. [More…]
He was a great commander in the most difficult circumstances, but he was still able to show that he had the capacity to talk to and to work with people of much lower rank than his. [More…]
I should like to associate the Australian Democrats and those people who voted for us with this motion about this remarkable man, Earl Mountbatten. [More…]
The final irony is that a man of such courage should be brought down by such a revolting act of an anonymous coward. [More…]
Senator Walsh indicated that on his own judgment the only new matter was an allegation which he made that the man might be liable under particular sections of certain Acts. [More…]
In the Advertiser of Wednesday, 17 January- the morning newspaper in South Australia- there was a full page advertisement by Mr N. C. Shierlaw who will be known by those who had an interest in Poseidon as a man who became a multi-millionaire overnight. [More…]
Is the fact that a man is insisting on some safety provisions a reason to vote against him in an election? [More…]
I understand his concern about the cover featuring a man with a cigarette drooping from his mouth. [More…]
I can only say that whether or not that is good or bad depends on the apparent condition of the man from whose mouth the cigarette is hanging. [More…]
If the man appears miserable, depressed and obviously wracked by paroxysms of coughing the cover may have a useful, educative effect. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that the design, symbolising the development of communications over the years, features modern man speaking over the telephone with a cigarette or a cigar drooping from one corner of his mouth? [More…]
The question of the authenticity or otherwise of the documents is primarily a matter for the man himself and he must have time to decide whether to take legal action. [More…]
He is a brilliant young man. [More…]
With this decision the Government may well have denied many Asian students an opportunity to develop and fulfil their lives. [More…]
Ian Sinclair is a man whom I have claimed to be a personal and close friend over many years. [More…]
I think we ought to spare a thought for the agony that that man is going through now. [More…]
I for one would think myself less than a man and less than decent if I did not stand here today and say that the friendship and affection I have for that man still prevail. [More…]
I think the one thing that this man, a man who has given so much service to the nation, is entitled to is to be put out of his agony. [More…]
Out of all decency I believe, when a report like the one that was delivered yesterday by the New South Wales Government and which contained probably the gravest charges that have ever been laid against a member of this Parliament, let alone a Minister, the New South Wales Government ought to put the man out of his agony and do one of two things: It should press charges or state that it is not going to press charges. [More…]
I enter this debate with some trepidation, being a humble railwayman and not a legal man. [More…]
The Government ought to consider seriously the fact that it has in Mr Grassby, as the present Commissioner for Community Relations, a man who has a valuable body of experience concerning human rights issues throughout this country and it ought to use him in that role. [More…]
He manages to find something bad in everything he sees. [More…]
They will not have a bar of this man. [More…]
Does the estimate for salaries and payments in the nature of salary in the vote for the Joint House Department allow for additional staff to man the front entrance? [More…]
The Attorney-General (Senator Durack) will recall a marathon case which dealt with a man who had a franchise to provide kiosk and canteen facilities at some of our major airports. [More…]
As he spoke I had visions of a man in a cottage with a super highway threatening his position, with the thought that the road might be put around him. [More…]
On those aircraft are two oil men as well as a man from the Department of Shipping and Transport in Canberra. [More…]
On the statute book there are various forms of legislation which is calculated to give special assistance to the man on the land. [More…]
I know that some- people will say that man is conservative and resists change. [More…]
But as more demands are made on us the travelling gets rougher. [More…]
Another factor influencing the election result was the outward appearance of unity that emanated from the Opposition during the election campaign. [More…]
The projection of the Leader of the Opposition as a man to govern implied that the Australian Labor Party was prepared to leave its policy to those members of the Party who formed the Government and to give its leader more power and had its effect at the ballot box. [More…]
The Government has been very reluctant to influence in any way the Associated Chambers of Manufactures to curb any of these big industries. [More…]
It does not matter what job a man is doing on the factory floor; they all have much the same appetite. [More…]
Senator Bull is a cattle man. [More…]
I conclude on this note: In the Governor-General’s Speech and the speeches of Senators Rae and Maunsell there was so much that was advocated by Mr Whitlam, Senator Murphy, Senator Willesee and every man jack of us on the hustings that at least we have the satisfaction of knowing that if imitation is the sincerest form of flattery the Labor Party can be very happy tonight. [More…]
I think that it would be better for the Government to retain the tax rates as they are and to provide for those people in the community who are underprivileged and for the family man. [More…]
If and when equal pay is introduced there will be considerably greater spending power in the hands of the single man, and honourable senators know as well as I that the consequences to the married man will be serious. [More…]
I feel that this Government is falling down on the essential job of helping the family and of helping to populate this country when it again fails to increase child endowment, when it leaves maternity allowances at the miserable rates at which they have been for so many years, and when in regard to education it still has not done all it should, although I must be fair and admit that the Government has done a lot in recent years for education. [More…]
There ought to be measures to encourage a man with a wife and children, particularly those who have large families, because in the present circumstances these families have a very tough job. [More…]
BROCK MAN -I understand that about 392 merino rams were offered at the Sydney stud sheep sales on 5th February and that of that number 243 were sold. [More…]
Could such a refusal be construed as a denial of the fundamental right that a man is deemed to be innocent until such time as he is proved guilty? [More…]
This man came to Australia some time in the early 1950s and was unable to utilise his qualifications. [More…]
The dreadful thing is that the Prime Minister said that he hoped that this would not happen if a similar situation arose or even if the same man came back again, but even he could nol be sure of that. [More…]
Undoubtedly the Government has examined this matter and believes that a change is not possible, but it is my view that, in the interests of many who are involved, the period of service for national servicemen should bc reduced from 2 years to 1 year. [More…]
The argument which has been advanced against this is that it is necessary in this technological age to have a man for 2 years in order to give him sufficient training. [More…]
1 suggest that the introduction of a new scheme for practical down to earth training in Australia of Papuans and New Guineans should have been given attention many years ago. [More…]
I understand the -difficulties that have been involved in deciding whether it is desirable that a young man should leave New Guinea and come to Australia for training. [More…]
A welfare officer of the Department selected a man who then approached a group of men who then told him a story; he went and typed a statement; he brought it back and said that if there were any corrections to be made to the statement he would make them. [More…]
Fleming, the man upon whose report the Minister places so much reliance. [More…]
A rifle that can shoot a kangaroo can have a harmful effect on a reluctant young lass out in the wild bush with an old man. [More…]
Australian law applies to Aboriginals on reserves as much as it applies to any white man. [More…]
I think the version of the minister of religion has to be accepted, although a court of law does not accept the proposition that because a man is a minister of religion he cannot tell an untruth. [More…]
Fleming’s wife was manager of the store which is open 211 hours a week. [More…]
As manager she was receiving $50 a week. [More…]
Should we abolish tribal law if it means forcing a girl against her will, contrary to the laws of Australia, to go out and be raped by some old man who has a disease? [More…]
This incident was so serious that it worried the manager - not Mr Nichols - whose wife was a nurse at the hospital. [More…]
The manager, after 4 days, sent out a lorry to bring the Aboriginals back. [More…]
Before they left the storeman was instructed to issue rations for 14 days. [More…]
Possibly I brought out the worst charges but many more charges have been made. [More…]
Aboriginals follow tradition if it does not interfere with the white man’s law. [More…]
Therefore, if this white man - the Government’s representative - had not given permission, this assault on the young girls would never have taken place. [More…]
So the whole point is that although this incident may have been in accordance with Aboriginal custom, it could not have occurred without the permission of the white man. [More…]
The Government is prepared to enforce and give the protection of the white man’s law at Gove Peninsula but it is not prepared to extend the same protection at Yuendumu. [More…]
President of Yuendumu Village Elders Council, Tim Jabanardi said many Aborigines at Yuendumu did not want Nichols to leave. [More…]
‘He is a very good man and has helped us in many ways’, he said. [More…]
Mr Nichols, about whom this letter was written, is the man who today is called a troublemaker by those who have less interest in Aboriginal affairs than have Mr or Mrs Nichols. [More…]
A man’s suit which can be purchased for $60 to $80 has only 2 lb of wool in it. [More…]
The Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation is making new discoveries in regard to the treatment of woollen garments and new techniques are being developed for the manufacture of wool. [More…]
He is a man of great principle. [More…]
Dr Evatt was the first President of the United Nations, and he was one of the principal authors of the Charter of Human Rights. [More…]
Labor - and I say this without hesitation - would provide another man in the United Nations with the same drive and the same principles as Dr Evatt applied. [More…]
As I have said on a number of occasions, if Dr Evatt were at the United Nations today he would tear asunder that chamber in striving, demanding and trying to solve the problems that exist throughout the world, particularly in countries such as Vietnam, Biafra, Northern Ireland, the Middle East and Laos. [More…]
Again I say that in the United Nations at the present time we need a spokesman for democracy - a man who will defend the small nations. [More…]
Many men on this side of the Parliament are just as concerned as they are. [More…]
If we members of the Australian Labor Party were in government today we would produce once more a man of the calibre of Dr Evatt - a man who won world standing as a fighter for small nations and made Australia’s name respected throughout the world. [More…]
From intelligence which was gathered in those days it was well understood that he was a man who was willing to precipitate a third world war because, I believe, he was a man who had reached the stage of madness. [More…]
I refer to the late chairman of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Mr Stalin. [More…]
That I have doomed a man to death. [More…]
With the dead man’s blood ‘tis red. [More…]
And I smugly sentenced the young man to death [More…]
Up to that time at least I had had some respect for a man who had served a lifetime in the Parliament of this nation. [More…]
The Government also ignored the Oppositon when it pointed out that naval experts had found during the last war that it took 4i tons of shipping to shift a man. [More…]
Is the Minister aware whether anyone has investigated fully the theories of the late Noel Monkman. [More…]
who lived for many years on Green Island, who made films of the underwater life in the area, who had a laboratory there, who was one of the first to point out the menace of the starfish and who claimed that the cause of the great growth of the starfish was the netting by fishermen of sardines near resorts for bait, sardines being the natural predators of the eggs of the starfish? [More…]
Is the Minister aware whether the report of the Academy of Science dealt in any way with the practical theories that this remarkable man arrived at. [More…]
I have never met the man and I do not know if I ever will meet him. [More…]
But if the Government cannot charge a man, if it is not prepared to take him into the courts of this country - whether he be Burchett. [More…]
These reports indicate that the Governent believes that this man acted contrary to the way in which an Australian ought to act in view of our troubles in Vietnam. [More…]
This man was born here. [More…]
If the Government cannot prove what in its opinion, according to what we read in the Press, this man has done, .1 see no reason why he should not have the same rights as anybody else has. [More…]
Therefore, 1 say that the Government should not cast these innuendoes, and go even further than that and deny to this man the right to which 1 believe every person in this country is entitled. [More…]
I am not speaking as a man who was born in the country but as one who spent some time living in the country. [More…]
Anyway, each young man must effect registration for national service in his twentieth year. [More…]
A man forgets to turn a pump off, a valve sticks during loading or unloading, a tanker is run aground. [More…]
Although the motion for the adoption of the Address-in-Reply proposes many things, it neglects many also. [More…]
The local magistrate, who is a very busy man, is at present responsible for employment bureau activities on the island and he could not possibly be expected to do the job that is necessary. [More…]
Imagine it - declare war to decide whether a man who, if you read his own books and writings, is a self-confessed traitor to the armed forces fighting in foreign lands for this country, whether they consider it to be right or wrong, should receive a passport. [More…]
In the main it would be paid by the family man. [More…]
The Government should have more regard for the family man. [More…]
I hope that the obvious objections of the Opposition and of my Party to the Government’s proposals contained in the Speech of the Governor-General will be supported and that the Senate will, by a majority vote, support the amendment moved by Senator McManus. [More…]
I hear an interjection from a member of a party which, according to Don von Bibra - who has both feet on the ground if ever a man had - supported a measure which was a triumph of ignorance. [More…]
But it is a fact that the less wit a man has the less he knows he needs it. [More…]
I note that one man expressed the opinion that, because of those factors, democracy in that country had defeated itself. [More…]
Sometimes 1 have been shown papers that emanate from the National Civic Council and the DLP. [More…]
They talk about how they support the family man. [More…]
I do not think anyone in this chamber will ever forget the desertion by members of the DLP of the family man when the measures to increase sales tax on the family man went through this chamber. [More…]
Not once, but twice - at the second reading stage and at the third reading stage - members of the DLP crossed the floor to vote with the Government and to put the sales tax on the family man. [More…]
What more pernicious lax could there be than that sales tax on the family man? [More…]
many times have members of the DLP out in the forums of the nation spoken of these dreadful imposts? [More…]
They say that we should not have this kind of tax on the family man. [More…]
On the occasion in question they went and voted with the Government, when all they had to do was stay with us and we would have defeated that extra impost on the family man. [More…]
When the conference on human rights was being held in Teheran, one of the nations represented was Haiti. [More…]
It came up with a magnificent resolution on human rights. [More…]
But no-one in the world was prepared to support a resolution on human rights that came from a country which had trampled on human rights. [More…]
In the same way, members of the DLP come here and say: ‘It does not matter that we have supported the Government, that we have abandoned the family man, that we have not cared at all about these other matters and that we have an extremist foreign policy. [More…]
Upon his retirement he was followed by the man who had been his apprentice - Mr Harold Holt. [More…]
He was trained in every facet of government and political tactics; he was a man of great charm; he was a man of real sincerity; he was a fearless man. [More…]
That man, with his charming smile and resolute character, went forward and led the Liberal Party to a landslide victory. [More…]
Harold Holt did much to establish Australia as a popular friendly nation in the eyes of many millions of Asiatics. [More…]
This man was reared in the Australian countryside. [More…]
He is a man who early in the Second World War volunteered and saw service as a fighter pilot. [More…]
He is the man who was chosen in the early days after that war to join the Senate. [More…]
Senators on both sides of this House soon realised that this man would go a long way. [More…]
As a result of this Speech, which clearly can and should be described as one which shows a government in action and an active, hard-working, forceful Prime Minister in command, both Houses of the Parliament will have all the work that they can handle in the weeks that lie ahead. [More…]
Important decisions emanating from this legislation will have to be made by us and there will be times when each man and each woman will have to be in his or her place to be counted. [More…]
It is my belief - 1 say this with all the sincerity that can muster - that contained in the legislation will be matters for the good of Australia in the near and the distant future and it will behove us in many cases to put aside Party bickering and to try to approach those matters in the spirit in which I believe the legislation will be prepared and presented to the Parliament. [More…]
I shall not delve deeply, in the few minutes left to me tonight, into many of the problems which I see facing this country. [More…]
I do not say that this is a vice or a virtue, but we do get this kind of no-man’s land in relation to the rejection of applications for naturalisation. [More…]
Until we get some clarification, do we take any advice from the Franco authorities oh whether or not a man is a good citizen? [More…]
I do not think that it is right - indeed, I think that it is quite wrong - that this man should be left with this form of suspended sentence. [More…]
Every time a Liberal member compliments a Labor leader it is done after that Labor man has finished his term of office. [More…]
The Government is building up a man of straw in order to knock him down into its own image. [More…]
He is a very intelligent young man. [More…]
Those are the comments of a man whose experience and expertise in this field is to be acknowledged. [More…]
Merely because a man is a confirmed Communist we have no right to adjudge that he is the devil or has no capacity or good qualities. [More…]
The honourable senator is a young man, but possibly even he was only too glad to have the assistance of the Chinese, the Russians, the Czechoslovakians and Polish as gallant allies during World War II. [More…]
He was succeeded by a man who campaigned about the country on the platform that he was going to withdraw United States troops from Vietnam. [More…]
Could such a refusal be construed as a denial of a fundamental right that a man is deemed to be innocent until such time as he is proved guilty. [More…]
Whilst Senator Young and Senator Prowse, representing the Liberal Party on the one hand and the Country Party on the other, certainly this evening have quoted figure after figure, statistic after statistic and percentage after percentage in respect of the Government’s general economic and rural policy, so far as wheat is concerned we say it is about time that the Government stopped looking only at figures, statistics and percentages and came down to the real and pressing problems of the man on the land, the small grower, his wife and family and those who live in rural areas, who rely on the stability of the wheat industry for their livelihood and economic security. [More…]
They seem to forget the problems of the little man who grows wheat for his livelihood. [More…]
As long ago as October 1967 Mr E. J. Donath, the lecturer in economic geography at Melbourne University, said that, despite the oft heard statement that the world was crying out for more wheat, world demand for Australian wheat, on a commercial basis, was extremely limited. [More…]
The man concerned is now dead and everything should be done to clear him absolutely if he is innocent of the charges of provoking the assault. [More…]
Every so often a while man is caught and fined S50 or something like that, but that is his licence fee for the year. [More…]
My approaches to the Director were successful in getting 2 or 3 weeks taken off the 3 months, and I was requested by the Director to give the man concerned a lecture and to tell him that it was not to happen again. [More…]
The 2 homes were available but the man was told that he could not occupy either home because local by-laws stated that a family of the size of his would not be permitted to live in a 3-bedroom home. [More…]
However, the Government gave him a small loan to allow him to go on to a little patch of ground about 6 acres in area that would not support bandicoots, let alone the man and his family. [More…]
He is a legal man. [More…]
I think any captain is a responsible man with a lot of value under his control. [More…]
Minimum deck area per man for sailors in the RAN is 17 square feet. [More…]
Thus the only real deduction is from the single man living in. [More…]
The imminent death of a parent or near dependent relative so that the man can see his parent or the person concerned before death takes place. [More…]
The dangerous illness or death of a parent or near dependent relative - provided the presence of the man in the home is essential and there is no other son or daughter at home or readily available to give the necessary assistance. [More…]
The infidelity of the man’s wife. [More…]
Serious domestic hardship where the presence of the man is essential. [More…]
He is a man who was dismissesd from his position at the settlement and whose appeal against dismissal was not upheld. [More…]
Senator Cavanagh’s imputation was an unwarranted smear of a man who deserves much better for the 20 years of service which he and his wife have given to the people at Yuendumu. [More…]
Now we get the further information today that one girl whose parents did not accompany her was 20 years of age and under white man’s law parental approval is not necessary, but she was at least abducted and forcibly taken from the camp 37 miles, I believe, as stated in the Minister’s statement. [More…]
We deny to these girls the white man’s protection. [More…]
When the departmental truck was supplied, was not there an appeal for protection under the white man’s law which we were prepared to extend in the incident at Gove Peninsula but which we are not prepared to extend here? [More…]
The whole incident demands an inquiry. [More…]
Something must be done to give the protection of the white man’s law to these girls whom we take into our Aboriginal reserves. [More…]
This is only one example of the many injections into the community of financial aid. [More…]
Of course, in a capitalist system one finds the worst in man, the greed, the acquisitiveness and the avarice of self-seekers. [More…]
This Government is always bleating about the so-called private entrepreneurs, and giving the small man opportunity. [More…]
Now the small man is getting it right where the chicken got the axe. [More…]
Australian Country Party members’ hearts and minds about the small man getting it in the neck as there would be in the heart of a bulk production chicken producer. [More…]
The ordinary man in the street pays for this but he does not realise it. [More…]
The ordinary man in the street pays for the inefficiency of the rural industry. [More…]
In Canberra he was known to be a man who was all things to all men. [More…]
He has been described by some people as the Mayor of Canberra, the senator for the Australian Capital Territory and the civic ombudsman, adviser and confidant of people in all walks of life in the Territory. [More…]
He was a man who, putting politics aside, would be the image of the perfect private member. [More…]
It has been said that perhaps the Australian Capital Territory electorate was not so much a political seat as one known as a Fraser seat, lt is true, I believe, that no man understood the needs of his constituents better than he did. [More…]
Despite this handicap he went on, unhesitating, and I think he stands as a model of a man who did not want to set the world on fire but merely wanted to carry out as well as any man could the task which he had chosen, the task which had been entrusted to him by the people of the A.C.T. [More…]
He showed his feeling for Parliament by acting as a member of the Select Committee to inquire into and report upon the Hansard of the House of Representatives, by acting as a member of the House Committee and by carrying out the task of Vice-Chairman of the Joint Committee on the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
Mr President, we are proud to have known this man. [More…]
He was not only a fine Parliamentarian; he was also a man of great tolerance and very much humour. [More…]
He was extremely approachable and was in all ways a very civilised and a fine human being. [More…]
The people of the Australian Capital Territory were fortunate in having such a capable man as their representative for so many years. [More…]
I came here as a very young man and was struck by the excitement and turmoil of this place, but standing out like a beacon in all of that was Jim Fraser. [More…]
He was a man of high principles and quiet efficiency. [More…]
All of these attributes of this big man were laced with humour. [More…]
As I said, to me he was a sheet anchor because whenever problems concerning New Guinea were being discussed I found that to discuss them with Jim Fraser was to discuss them with a man who had had the advantage of being there, had made a very close and serious study of the area and liked the people there just as much as he liked his own Australian people. [More…]
Physically, of course, he was a big man; but it always struck me that his mind was just as big as his body. [More…]
Why were RAAF aircraft not used during a recent search, lasting several days, for a man lost in wild country near Derby, in Western Australia. [More…]
I have spoken to Dr Endean, a man who has taken a prominent part in the investigation of the crown of thorns, and he has stated that the reason for such a grim report was to stir the Government into action. [More…]
Let me say that this is not the first occasion on which 1 have had to make inquiries of the Minister for Education and Science in respect of representational matters of a general nature.I therefore ask the Government to raise this matter with the Minister for Education and Science in view of its urgency for this young man and to see that a reply is expedited. [More…]
Another man had been saving since the end of the Second World War - saving for some 25 years - to get sufficient money to purchase a dwelling. [More…]
It concerns an exserviceman from Vietnam who last year, as a result of representations that I made to the then Minister for Repatriation, Senator McKellar, was able to obtain a 1-year repatriation scholarship to attend the University of New South Wales. [More…]
The young man had attended the University of Sydney in 1964 and bad not had what one might call a bright academic career. [More…]
He was subsequently called up and did a period of service in Vietnam as a national serviceman. [More…]
I took up the matter on his behalf with the then Minister for Repatriation, and as a result of representations that I made the young man was able to enrol in the Faculty of Arts in the University of New South Wales and was given 1 year’s full time training under the national service vocational training scheme. [More…]
I point out, however, that the Government is giving this young man only a 1-year full time training course. [More…]
I asked him, in view of the fact that the University was then about to start, to treat this matter as one of urgency and to give sympathetic and favourable consideration to awarding the young man a Commonwealth university later year scholarship. [More…]
-BROCK MAN- The Minister for Repatriation has provided the following answer to the honourable senator’s question: [More…]
In order to meet the increased demand the Government has provided this year for war service homes $55m as against last year’s provision of $50m it is quite clear from that sentence that the Minister was conveying the impression that, so far as she was concerned, there was nothing wrong with the Department and that it had sufficient money available to meet the increased demand with which it was being confronted. [More…]
However, a mere 4 days later - on 16th March - a young man called at the Commonwealth Parliamentary Offices in Martin Place, Sydney asking to see an Australian Labor Party member of Parliament. [More…]
Last night I cited the case of a man who had submitted an application to the War Service Homes Division in January. [More…]
On 26th March, a mere 2 days later, the Deputy Director of War Service Homes in New South Wales wrote to the man’s solicitor and advised that private finance might be arranged by way of mortgage or charge over the property. [More…]
At 4.47 p.m. the man who interjected, Senator Marriott, apparently came back from afternoon tea and decided to look on. [More…]
We are trying to defend the battler - the man who has come home from Vietnam at the agc of 21. [More…]
Those conditions provide that a man may borrow for the purpose of erecting a home which he will occupy as such. [More…]
I sincerely regret any delay in obtaining a loan for any man or woman who is entitled to assistance and who has applied for assistance to purchase a home. [More…]
This covers the position where someone has, in the eyes of the commanding officer of the aircraft, committed an offence against the aviation laws of the country where the plane is registered. [More…]
To comply with the agreement a man who is handed over in Australia is held in custody and brought to trial as soon as possible. [More…]
Therefore to see whether there was any validity in the commanding officer’s belief that there was an offence under the aviation laws of a country we have clause 10 which provides: [More…]
That evidence could decide a man’s life. [More…]
Obviously it was not right to have a man charged and to use against him evidence that was taken when he was not present. [More…]
Every man is innocent until he is proved guilty by a council of his peers according to the laws of evidence. [More…]
In the exceptional case where the accused was not present - and it will be the exceptional case - it will be admissible in those proceedings in which a man is on trial for his life to introduce as evidence something that was taken at the preliminary inquiry, where he was not even present and did not have counsel representing him. [More…]
The man may be found guilty because someone who is not available to give evidence in those proceedings but is flying an aircraft in another country said such-and-such at the preliminary inquiry. [More…]
Surely there is a question of human rights here, which needs consideration. [More…]
I may not be right on this, but I am assuming from a quick look at the Acts that paragraphs (c) and (d) deal similarly with bringing the man to trial. [More…]
Owing to the present system of blocking the little man adopted by these stockbrokers (shortage of time and staff is rubbish - we all have those problems and still provide a service). [More…]
Quite obviously, if it is up to the Minister and the Minister is not a legal man, although he may have some other profession, he would not have the legal knowledge to know whether or not he was giving a reply to a legal question. [More…]
But as I previously informed the Senate, this was an involuntary action of a man attempting to protect himself and, at the same time, carry out his job. [More…]
There is a conservatism in man. [More…]
As Senator McManus pointed out, we already have on our books for consideration a proposal for committees in which experts will be brought before us. [More…]
I remember in the days of the Labor Government, the Liberals - of those days the old United Australian Party - said that foreign policy was the province of one man - Bert Evatt. [More…]
He was the only man who ran foreign policy. [More…]
It would know the thoughts of university people, the thoughts of the common man and the thoughts of all parliamentarians. [More…]
He is an experienced man on this Committee. [More…]
As I said at the outset, I am a conservative man. [More…]
We are speaking now of a man who may be on trial for his life - or he may be accused of a lesser offence - and the court is faced with the decision: ‘Should this evidence be admitted?’ [More…]
It was the policy in Tasmania to shoot them, poison them and to get rid of them. [More…]
They want now to desegregate the few who remain on Cape Barren Island because the mining interests believe that it would be better if they could get rid of these few poor unfortunate remnants of the coloured people who originally inhabited Tasmania. [More…]
They have the help of Socialists throughout the world who believe in the brotherhood of man, that all men are God’s creatures and that there is an equality of man. [More…]
This is still happening in this day and age in Africa, just as it happened in New Guinea in the last generation when the Germans had colonial authority. [More…]
No, brother, I am trying to hold the torch that will give a little light to the narrow minded selfish people who have destroyed under the old system of exploitation of man by man. [More…]
The Leader of the Opposition in the other place (Mr Whitlam) would be able to show the Government the way in which these people should be brought into the brotherhood of man and the friendship of nations. [More…]
By way of education we will be able to open up the divine objective of man which he can achieve only if the restrictions imposed on him are lifted. [More…]
Senator O” Byrne has been very critical of the manner in which the type of development which has taken place has been administered. [More…]
I am sure he will agree with me that it is a country of many variations. [More…]
In the coastal areas the people have had contact with Europeans for quite a number of years, but in the Highland areas there are some indigenous people who have yet to see a white man. [More…]
He must appreciate that because of the great variations there are many problems. [More…]
That is what happened in relation to this man who is the Leader of the Opposition and the alternative Prime Minister and would be Prime Minister if the people of this country were ever so silly as to let him in. [More…]
In the process of this development, through stupid rashness and encouragement of sectionalism, they can destroy themselves, as has happened in so many of the partly developed countries today. [More…]
The criticisms are very pertinent and to the point and show clearly what are the desires of the people of the Territory and what were their resentments of the man who stands as the alternative leader of the Australian nation, which has done so much for the Territory, and who visited there and attempted to destroy the very principles and foundations which this country has spent so long to develop. [More…]
lt is allright for the average indigenous person who has a family of two to live in them, but when a man has 5 or 6 children it is absolutely hopeless. [More…]
He had the advice of the shadow Minister for Externa] Territories, Mr Beazley, a man who is often held up as having a great knowledge of this Territory. [More…]
What an indictment of the leader of the Party which would provide the alternative government and of a man who went to the Territory and spoke in the royal ‘we’ sort of language, saying ‘1 am the next Prime Minister.’ [More…]
Mr Whitlam made so many statements and he made such a mess of his visit that he was told by the leaders of the Territory that he should go home. [More…]
With all the venom I can command I throw it at the AttorneyGeneral’s Department, not at Senator Wright as a man because if he were the Attorney-General he would do a better job than has been done by the 2 incumbents of the office since I have been in the Parliament. [More…]
The F1 1 1 C is the most sophisticated style of aircraft known to man. [More…]
That is unquestionably a statement by a man, whom Mr Hall pretends to know, that salinity in Chowilla would be no greater than salinity in Dartmouth. [More…]
The proposal was also supported by people such as Mr Dridan who, as the engineer-in-chief in South Australia, was a man of some note in the engineering world. [More…]
Surely any man who has the interests of his own State at heart, any man who fears for the future of South Australia, appreciates that the rights of South Australia should be preserved in this matter. [More…]
The man who took his place will have done so under false pretences unless he carries out the policy of withdrawal of troops from Vietnam that he promised the American people. [More…]
He is a man whose knowledge of the area and whose journalistic standing is certainly higher than that of Douglas Brass. [More…]
The unlawful action of one man in Melbourne brought to an end the application of the penal provisions and today they are as dead as are the little children in Vietnam. [More…]
If that man had any interest in the preservation of peace he would give to the police the proof of the information that he has and would not publish it to warn those who may be making the Molotov cocktails to keep out of sight. [More…]
That man’s sole purpose is to create fear. [More…]
The Government cares nothing for what my thinking may be or for what the thinking of the man in the street may be on a particular subject. [More…]
If not, will the Australian Government do so, and inquire on a governmenttogovernment basis in order to find what we can as to the whereabouts of this man? [More…]
I well remember that when appointed to the chairmanship of this Committee the late Sir Robert Garran was asked by one of my colleagues what this Committee was. [More…]
As a man who helped with the framing of the Constitution Sir Robert replied that this was the most important Committee in Parliament because its duty was to see that Parliament ran this country with legislation and that the Executive did not do so by regulations and ordinances. [More…]
I think that, as a layman, I have given to the Committee the best I am able to give. [More…]
In view of the interest which has been shown by many people in the activities of the Committee I ask leave to incorporate in Hansard the Twenty-seventh Report of the Senate Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances. [More…]
You are a boy in a man’s world. [More…]
lt is an absolute disgrace to every member of the Government Parties that you are sending boys on a man’s errand. [More…]
Be a man and admit it. [More…]
Turning now to another aspect of Senator Poyser’s remarks, 1 wish to say that I think it is a rather despicable act for an honourable senator to accuse another man because he may not have served in war. [More…]
Some of the finest men in the Australian Labor Party that I have known have said categorically - and they had war records themselves - that whether or not a man went to war was, in their opinion, his own business. [More…]
Therefore, I think that it is despicable for anybody, regardless of whether he went to war, to point his finger at another man who may not have done so. [More…]
We see here how one man can corrupt the activities of the whole Senate. [More…]
We must, therefore, put up with what we were afflicted with last night because one man has determined that he will try to stop people demonstrating in a peaceful way their opposition to the action of this Government in forcing young men to go to Vietnam. [More…]
Can you give me one logical reason why a man with Senator Greenwood’s capability, with Senator Greenwood’s knowledge and with Senator Greenwood’s foresight would raise these matters? [More…]
Perhaps it would be of interest to the Senate to know that the man who advised the Government, Mr Vines, the Chairman of the Conference, for some reason or other found it necessary to retire from the Conference. [More…]
A man who runs a certain number of sheep could be classified as a merino wool grower. [More…]
A man who produces a certain number of bales of merino wool could be classified similarly. [More…]
But most natural products with man made competitors meet the same competition. [More…]
He was the Managing Director of the International Wool Secretariat. [More…]
He is a man who today is recognised and thanked by the Conference and wool growers for what he did and is still doing for the wool industry, particularly by his efforts in the International Wool Secretariat. [More…]
Would the man with 10 merino sheep be entitled to a vote? [More…]
He is an authority and a very important man. [More…]
I mentioned the other night, when I spoke on this issue, that they had the opportunity, through the man who was Premier of South Australia al the time, to oppose any investigations of any alternative storages on the River Murray in October 1967 if they were so sure that Chowilla was the best and only dam they were prepared to support in the interests of South Australia. [More…]
Why do members of the Opposition now suddenly question the ability of this man who is the EngineerinChief? [More…]
He is a responsible man and has acted very responsibly in his position. [More…]
Have Mr K. Slide and Mr M. Moore, two Justices of the Peace, been listed to hear the case in which Miss Rita Galkama is involved; if so, will the final decision, involving both ancient tribal law and the Australian ‘white man’s law’ be issued by the two Justices of the Peace. [More…]
If the answers are in the affirmative what are the qualifications of the Justices of the Peace in relation to (a) knowledge of tribal law and (b) knowledge of the white man’s Australian law. [More…]
It would be a very brave man who would be prepared to say emphatically that we need both dams immediately. [More…]
Senator Young made the statement yesterday that he had spoken up on this issue and that South Australia had had the opportunity through the man who was Premier of the State at that time in October 1967 to oppose the investigation of any alternative storages on the River Murray. [More…]
He was a significant man in that district and, without doubt, he played a large part in the Menindee Lakes storage scheme. [More…]
It may be argued that Canada, as a next door neighbour of the United States, can manoeuvre a little better than we can. [More…]
It is surprising that such a man as the present Minister for Primary Industry (Mr Anthony) speaks very strongly in his own electorate about Communism. [More…]
He was a different man. [More…]
This does not mean, as the Opposition sometimes claims, that we should retire into what has been described as - and I have used the term - a fortress, because the man who is inside a fortress denies himself the capacity to move outside of it. [More…]
That is what one man says. [More…]
Those reports may be correct from an economic point of view or from the point of view of the writer but I think they overlook one thing, that is, the personal aspect of the man on the land. [More…]
Many small properties have been handed down for a number of generations. [More…]
Will the Minister representing the Treasurer inform the Senate: How does it help the economy to force the family man to pay an increased rate of interest - a savage rate - on the mortgage of his home? [More…]
Is the Leader of the Government in the Senate aware that due to lack of funds there is a lag of from 9 to 12 months in satisfying applicants for homes under the Commonwealth-State housing scheme in Tasmania? [More…]
is it a fact thai mortgages on housing contracted in the past and still in operation will be subject to increased interest rates, thus adding a further burden on the shoulders of the family man? [More…]
Is not Treasury policy of high interest rates and lack of provision of adequate finance for housing belting the family man where it hurts most? [More…]
I am not a legal man - sometimes 1 have been almost glad that I am not - but il seems to me that the provision which states that there shall not be discrimination between States or parts of States covers matters over which the Commonwealth itself has direct jurisdiction. [More…]
The wool people had not gone to the trouble of sending a sample of wool in a container to the British manufacturers to S2e whether containerisation would reduce or destroy the real value of the wool. [More…]
After all, the manufacturer in Britain was the man who had to be satisfied with the form of transport to be. [More…]
Unfortunately, 1 am only a working man. [More…]
The Government could have assisted many home builders by introducing provisions which would have enabled members of credit unions to obtain loans from those credit unions for the purchase of blocks of land on which to build homes later. [More…]
During the demonstration today a young man handed me a pamphlet. [More…]
He handed it to me in an orderly manner and I took it, I hope, in a similarly orderly manner. [More…]
1 had no objection to the young man handing out these pamphlets although I must sayI do not agree with the party or the things that were in the pamphlet. [More…]
Labor Party was conscripting people it conscripted every able bodied man and anyone who was not in uniform was paying taxation at the rate of 18s 6d in the 1. [More…]
It is cheap in money and it is cheap in votes because if every 20-year-old or every 22-year-old or every young able bodied man in the community were conscripted there would be a wave of reaction through the families which were affected. [More…]
Surely to goodness a young man like Senator Greenwood should lift his sights above what has become an abuse of a mere demonstration, however that demonstration might be conducted, and ignore the whole situation which is giving rise to demonstrations. [More…]
I have heard him on legal questions in the Senate and I have thought that he was a man with a future in this place. [More…]
lt struck me as strange that this young man who seemed to have a capable mind should suddenly go off in this peculiar and maniacal way in which he has spoken, ft made me look very much closer at the whole situation. [More…]
I repudiate entirely aspersions cast by honourable senators opposite on Senator Greenwood as a young man, in the sense that he may be considered in the national service bracket. [More…]
They are not people of the ilk of Senator Greenwood, the military man, or Senator Gair who resort to the level of smearing those people in this country who intend to take part in the same activity. [More…]
Never once has any allegation been made by any responsible American administration spokesman that Senator Cranston, Senator McGovern, Mayor Lindsay or Professor Galbraith, President Kennedy’s former Ambassador to the United Nations, are in some way subversive or are trying to undermine the American way of life, [More…]
We find that in South Africa a white man elected to represent a wholly white electorate in that Parliament is prepared to take a more honest and honourable stand in support of Western democratic values than any of the representatives of this Government who sit before us today. [More…]
We have many friends. [More…]
We see in this present campaign firstly the breaching of lawful obligations, the obligation that the lecturer has to conduct lectures to his class and the obligation that a man has to attend his place of employment. [More…]
I had thought that he was a man with a lot of principle but he has sunk to the same level as some of his colleagues who have adopted a similar stand. [More…]
was running this country, in those days any man going on sick leave, recreation leave or compassionate leave did not have to pay his own way. [More…]
I am a man of peace. [More…]
It is very difficult for the ordinary man in the street to distinguish between 1 tax and the other. [More…]
The primary producer may be a man not long married, or one just building up his estate. [More…]
Usually this creates great difficulty because there are no other assets and in many cases the farm has lo be sold to pay the duty. [More…]
Another problem arises in the case of a man who dies in middle age and leaves a widow with young children. [More…]
Many questions of the Commissioner’s representatives have to be answered and in many cases of which I have knowledge it has been very difficult for widows with young families to provide the answers. [More…]
I understand that honourable senators opposite would not agree with that philosophy because fundamental to much of the philosophy of the Socialists is the fact that estates should be broken up; that there seems to be something inherently wicked in a man accruing assets in his lifetime and passing them on to his beneficiaries - his widow or children. [More…]
In rising to give my views on the motion which has been moved on behalf of the Australian Democratic Labor Party by Senator Little, I cannot but preface my remarks by saying what a coincidence it is that in the Chair at the moment is Senator Wood, a man who is so well-versed in the problems of local government finance. [More…]
I am pleased to see that at this stage of the debate on a matter that concerns the various levels of government in this country a man with such a long and distinguished record of service in local government is occupying the chair. [More…]
Although I am a State man - and 1 believe in the rights of the States - I also believe, as a senator, in the responsibilities that devolve upon the Commonwealth Government. [More…]
He is the most negative man ever to walk into this Parliament. [More…]
He wants it to go into the permanent record of the Commonwealth Parliament, and we want it to go in. [More…]
As it is a legal question, nol being a legal man I am nol competent to solve the problem. [More…]
Approximately a month ago a citizen of South Australia, one Mark Posa Secretary of the South Australian Branch of the Australian Democratic Labor Party, got front page publicity in the Adelaide Advertiser’ because he claimed that he knew that molotov cocktails were being manufactured in South Australia for use when the violent Moratorium demonstration was to take place. [More…]
The fact that molotov cocktails are being manufactured in Australia for use in a demonstration must alarm any law enforcement authority. [More…]
He said that he knew where the molotov cocktails were being manufactured. [More…]
Either those who were detected making the bombs, as a result of the information tendered by one Mark Posa, should have been brought to trial and prosecuted for unlawfully assembling bombs for use in a demonstration, or the Attorney-General (Mr Hughes) should have exposed this man who obtained publicity by creating an emotional feeling of fear in relation to the demonstration. [More…]
These 2 young men came to be together because the second young man had been to Vietnam on 1 occasion as a conscript and had been in the same unit as the one who had volunteered to serve in Vietnam. [More…]
During discussion we asked the young man how he could support the Vietnam campaign knowing the horrors and terrors in Vietnam. [More…]
He answered: ‘Women and children in Vietnam fire as many guns as soldiers do’. [More…]
I pointed out here, by way of question, that we have a double standard which imposes a sentence of 2 years without parole on a lad who refuses to kill and a sentence of 3 years with parole on the young man who murders, by strangulation and by mutilation, a young person. [More…]
If we look down the history of countries which have embarked upon a policy simitar to that of the United Slates we see that they have had a united purpose behind them which has taken them to a point where either they have met total destruction, as happened to the dictatorships of Germany and Italy or. [More…]
wilh the support of their own people and their allies who have been prepared to go to the last ditch, to fight to the last man on the beaches, and so on, have become victorious. [More…]
I believe that the Moratorium, or whatever honourable senators opposite like to call it, showed that now is a time for peace, a time for withdrawal, a time for contemplation and a time to reconsider where man is headed. [More…]
If man is heading towards the final war, it will bring about not only his own destruction but the destruction of the fabric of the earth’s surface, which is within man’s control at present. [More…]
The man to whom I am referring is Dr Mandel, an author and scholar from Belgium who is well known throughout the world. [More…]
Dr Mandel, who is a Belgian Marxist, is the author of a very serious study of Marxist thought entitled Marxist Economic Theory’. [More…]
Dr Mandel is a scholar. [More…]
I do not want to try to apologise for him because there is nothing for which to apologise in regard to this man. [More…]
I am sure that he has never heard of Dr Mandel before, but if he looks in any reputable encyclopaedia he will find his name- [More…]
But in regard to Dr Mandel, there is no need to engage in any intimidation. [More…]
There can be no purpose in refusing a visa to Dr Mandel other than to inhibit free discussion in this country, to stop the discussion of ideas which do not agree with those of this Government. [More…]
This is what they understand by democracy: That we should be a society in which a man who is able to travel freely in Europe, whose books are available throughout the world, should be denied the opportunity to enter this country. [More…]
I would not expect the honourable senator to know him because this young man - is a good Australian. [More…]
This young man was willing to sacrifice his career in the entertainment world which is a very risky one. [More…]
He said: T wish that some of these people who protest could go and see the good’ - I emphasise the word ‘good’ - ‘that my comrades and others have done, not just for the cause of democracy in keeping a foreign enemy out of this country but in helping the reconstruction and development and the opportunity for freedom and advancement for these people.1 Here is a young man who has been willing and prepared to sacrifice not only his career but, if necessary, his life and when he comes back he is prepared to stand up and say these things. [More…]
Not only has this young man said these things to me but also he has seen fit to tell the world. [More…]
That is a very big decision to have to make and 1 do it with great reluctance but we cannot get away from the point made by Senator M c Man us that we are here to accept, amend or reject Government business. [More…]
I would be a very busy man if I did that. [More…]
One of the extraordinary manifestations in our contemporary history is the growing concern and the acute alertness of the modern world to the significance of environment. [More…]
Perhaps that stems from the fact that man today is making greater and greater demands upon the physical resources of the world because of his aspirations to a higher standard of living and a wider distribution of the products of the earth, and his ingenuity in fashioning and fabricating those products to his own use. [More…]
Therefore we see the application of chemistry in so many fields creating new, synthetic substances and drawing upon the natural endowment of the world to create new and significant additions to man’s use and knowledge. [More…]
But unfortunately, accompanying this tremendous urge, are the consequences to the deposit of physical resources from which man draws. [More…]
Not the least of those is the extension of man’s living into the natural areas of the world’s surface with the consequential inpingement upon the fauna and flora over the face of the earth. [More…]
As the world population increases at such a great rate and as increasing demands on the physical resources multiply man is growing concerned for the consequences of his own actions. [More…]
Today the world is not only conscious of contemporary history, it is also conscious of man’s own history and the history of the world. [More…]
Institutes of learning such as the universities, the technological institutes and institutes which patronise learning in many ways are undertaking examinations of man’s past and for an archaeological examination of the past of the world. [More…]
This is evidence of an increasing intellectual interest among people for a mastery of the knowledge of why we are here, what our background was, from whence we came, and how this information in turn might be used for the betterment of man in the future, and, if not that, then for the enrichment of his mind and the enrichment of his culture. [More…]
This is why nations today are growing particularly conscious of their responsibility not only to their own people but to mankind in general to protect, preserve and cherish the natural deposits which are their immediate responsibility within the physical confines of the national boundaries. [More…]
Australian investigation and research is in a position to make a particular, specialised and most significant contribution to the wealth of man’s knowledge. [More…]
Perhaps while all other nations have this responsibility we, in this remote continent in the southern seas, have a particular concern which I am pleased the nation is manifesting. [More…]
It would be a tragedy if the demands of commerce or anything else should result in the destruction and the elimination of this precious, unique and ancient species and deny it to future generations in this world. [More…]
Man does not live by bread alone and the natural resources of this globe are limited. [More…]
That could be the prospect in a totally mechanised and devitalised society in which we have been the architects of the annihilation of so much that is beautiful, so much that is valuable, so much that solaces man’s mind and spirit in the material world in which he lives. [More…]
I agree that we should protect the interests of the small man - the little man who sees only a limited income in the period in which to pay off that loan. [More…]
If the period of repayment is reduced to 5 years, only the man on the higher income who can see himself paying off the loan within the period of 5 years will be eligible for the prescribed housing loan. [More…]
Mr Temporary Chairman. [More…]
I am trying to achieve some clarity on this matter, and this man is supporting the Government because he finds it profitable to do so and without seeking the details of the meaning of the legislation. [More…]
(1962); ‘The Purpose of American Politics’ (1960); ‘In Defence of the National Interest’ (1951); ‘Scientific Man vs. Power Politics’ (1946); etc. [More…]
I believe it is interesting that the particular one whom Senator Georges quoted - R. A. Falk - is a young man of some eminence in the anti-war movement and an author who has displayed his, perhaps, interest in this subject by writing on topics such as ‘Security Through Disarmament’ - hardly a topic for a disinterested lawyer; a lawyer interested only in the legal aspects of this problem. [More…]
I recommend to honourable senators that they read a book entitled ‘Sarkhan’ written by a man named Lederer who is one of the foreign affairs editors of. [More…]
I have brought these things forward by the same subterfuge as has been adopted by every other honourable senator who has participated in the debates in the past 2 days in order to record my idea of why I, and many others in the Labor Party, have been supporting the Moratorium Campaign. [More…]
lt would be a brave man indeed who would try to predict what the position in this field will be in 5 or 6 years time. [More…]
One of the reasons why it took so long to build was that in that time many changes had to be made to the design of the vessel. [More…]
The Senate may or may not recall that I last spoke on this measure on Thursday, 7th May, and when the sitting was suspended at 5.45 p.m., for the dinner adjournment, I was arguing that one of the fundamental differences in the approach to death duties or estate duties - call them what you wish - between honourable senators who sit on this side of the chamber and the members of the Australian Labor Party who sit on the other is their approach to whether or not a man, through thrift and initiative in his own lifetime, should be able to acquire an estate or to acquire assets and to pass them on to his beneficiaries, be they his wife or his children. [More…]
I wonder how many members of the Opposition in both places have realised that, when referring to the problems of the primary producers, the greatest spectre which hangs over primary producers is the expectation of estate duty. [More…]
I do not think there is a person in this Senate who would not believe that any man who acquires assets in his lifetime has acquired them basically through the efforts and sacrifices of his spouse, lt is wrong that a wife, particularly, who . [More…]
benefit of primary producers, who have gone through and are going through a particularly difficult experience for a period that seems to have no immediate prospect of early termination, the Government has seen fit to protect the assets of the man on the land from the necessity of sale and departure from the hands that created them in order to enable him to pay Federal estate duty. [More…]
Another case worth considering is that of a man who goes on to a property and dies within a period of less than 5 years. [More…]
The fiscal policies associated with death duties and like taxes result in the fragmentation of properties, because in so many instances a part of a property has to be sold to meet the liabilities of death duties. [More…]
Again a man’s dependants may find it necessary to buy a bit more property, to increase the size of the existing property so that it becomes an economic unit, but because of the financial commitments, such as the liability of estate duties, they are unable to purchase any additional property and so they do not have an economic unit. [More…]
In so many instances we find that people try to cut corners and economise, with the result that efficiency is cut. [More…]
So in many instances today we have the position, particularly with a downturn in income and a downturn in land values, where, because a man died 2 years ago - prior to the imposition of wheat quotas, to use an example - his family is paying death duties which are based on the inflated price of land. [More…]
As a man accumulates assets, he becomes reluctant to involve himself in taking measures to protect his estate by way of insurance against death taxes. [More…]
A man is very largely motivated into primary industry because it is a way of life which he likes. [More…]
There are so many areas in which the Government has assisted the rural sector of the community by providing subsidies, long term loans and so on. [More…]
We want to help the little man. [More…]
He is the man who produced- by way of illustration - ‘Diary of a Drop Out’, ‘The Seventh Veil’. [More…]
In correspondence he has exchanged with me he has suggested that to be able to run a viable film industry Australia should have a home production of not less than 10 feature films per annum and that these should all be produced in colour because the eventual residual rights for television programmes, particularly in the United States, demand the use of colour and are too valuable to ignore here. [More…]
He corrected it where the Aboriginals thought it necessary and in the presence of the man who had the controlling influence over the statement they signed it or put their mark on it. [More…]
At Gove Peninsula the Commonwealth authorities launched a prosecution to protect a girl who would not live with her promised husband, who wanted a young man of her choice and who was disowned by the tribe and by her parents for seeking the white man’s protection. [More…]
If the honourable senator’s daughter is forced to go the intention being to get her to accept the man that he has decided she should marry, under tribal law that might be acceptable, but he cannot justify it under white man’s law.I have said that permission to borrow the truck was granted. [More…]
At Gove Peninsula where a mining company was involved action was taken, but because this is at Yuendumu where the man responsible was a Government official the Government protects him in every way that it possibly can. [More…]
Mr Nicholls has been considered a somewhat reliable informant on these questions. [More…]
There is a discrepancy between those 2 statements amounting to 1 man. [More…]
This is the man of whom Mr Nicholls fell foul. [More…]
If a man is basically a shallow water diver he is not an expert in the field of deep water diving. [More…]
I believe this is something in which the Minister for National Development (Mr Swartz) should interest himself immediately because a young woman and 2 young children are without subsistence at this moment. [More…]
In many instances they have not been satisfactorily investigated. [More…]
This happened well over 2 years ago and compensation has not yet been paid to the widow of this man although some sort of settlement has been made or is about to be made on behalf of his children. [More…]
Is the MinisterinCharge of Tourist Activities aware that the original Expo at Montreal is again to be open this year from 12th June to 7th September under the title ‘Man and His [More…]
I speak to him not as the Leader of the Government in the Senate but as a man who was also a mayor of a prominent municipality in New South Wales. [More…]
1 speak with a bit of feeling on this matter because Senator Anderson knows that, like many other New South Wales senators. [More…]
This is a tremendous amount of money in any man’s terms. [More…]
I ask rhetorically: How can any scheme such as the present one be considered just and equitable when a wealthy man can afford to stay out of it and, in other words, take the risk of being sick? [More…]
If he or any member of his family does become sick he can write off a substantial part of his medical and hospital expenses as income tax deductions, whereas a man receiving only an amount, equal to the average weekly earnings must pay in contributions the same amount as a man who earns twice or three times as much and who may have only as many or even fewer family responsibilities. [More…]
This was the result of the high pressure salesmanship that went on. [More…]
As Senator McClelland has reminded me already, there is another reference to this point in the Nimmo report in section 11.7 where excessive salesmanship is referred to. [More…]
There is a man serving time in Long Bay gaol at the moment. [More…]
honourable senators opposite will admit it if they are honest - of being approached by people and being regaled with examples something like this: A man is told that he is suffering from appendicitis. [More…]
It is all very well for the Government to produce a booklet and a table containing many medical terms. [More…]
In the final analysis, whatever wage a man is receiving, he may reach the stage that he cannot pay for health insurance because of competing demands on his limited wage packet. [More…]
But, whatever the figure was, if that proposition ever came into operation in this country and if I were a betting man 1 would bet 2 to 1 that the estimate would be exceeded, tat it would probably be doubled and at the cost would go on rising for evermore These nationalised schemes - especially nationalised health schemes - seem to have something inbred within them which means that the costs mount and keep on mounting until there is taxpayer resistance to them. [More…]
Why should they not be paid as much as the Sydney man? [More…]
One man is paying 60c in the dollar taxation and the other man is paying 20c. [More…]
At the end of the year the Commonwealth Government says to the comparatively wealthy man or the man who has the higher income: Well, to you, of that $100, we will remit $60 by way of a concessional taxation deduction’. [More…]
To the man who is paying 20c in the dollar because he is on a smaller income the Government says: ‘To you we will give back only $20 out of your $100’. [More…]
The net result is that the man on the higher income is paying a total of $40 for his cover and the man on the lower income is paying a total of $80. [More…]
Of course, if a man pays 10c in the dollar in tax, he gets only $10 back. [More…]
The limit on the amount to be levied of $100 for each taxpayer was altered by the Opposition, as honourable senators will recall, to $100 for both man and wife when both were working. [More…]
On arrival at Parliament House this morning I found myself faced, at the Senate entrance to the House, by a man wearing a uniform which I was unable to identify but which I took to be that of a private security service. [More…]
This man was standing on the footpath alongside the door at the Senate entrance. [More…]
It was necessary, therefore, to find the correct man to act as chairman of the tribunal who would seek to iron out disputes in the industry. [More…]
The remuneration had to be such as would attract the right man and involved sounding out those who were appropriately qualified. [More…]
With these considerations in mind, the former Minister for Labour and National Service approved certain proposals for the remuneration and travelling allowance of the Tribunal and ad hoc tribunals and these were put to the then Secretary of the Prime Minister’s Department, who was a member of the Permanent Heads Committee which dealt with such matters, by the then Secretary of the Department of Labour and National Service. [More…]
That involved me and other members of my Party in quite a few man hours in hearing these people because they came along in considerable force to put their case. [More…]
The case presented by the ophthalmologist is, as has been stated by previous speakers, that if a medical man refers a patient for specialist treatment, such as surgery on the eye or some other problem, to an ophthalmologist he is given specialist treatment. [More…]
Any sensible ophthalmologist would say: Well, I have treated you up to this hour, 11 o’clock, and the fee for that is so many dollars. [More…]
1 wish to refer to a hypothetical case of a man who goes to an eye specialist to have his eyes tested and is told that he has a tumour in his eye. [More…]
If an oral surgeon is what we know as a doctor - a man qualified as a doctor of medicine and surgery - he does not have to go to an approved hospital. [More…]
A while ago the Minister was saying that an oral surgeon had to work in an approved hospital; but if he is a medical man that does not apply to him because he comes under paragraph (a). [More…]
If a qualified dentist regards himself as capable of undertaking what will be a prescribed medical service, I fail to see why a patient who goes to that dentist should be denied the benefits that he would obtain if he went to another dentist, lt seems to me that the distinction between when a patient will receive a benefit and when a patient will not receive a benefit depends upon the approval of one man, and that man is the Director-General. [More…]
In addition it seems that the Government is exhibiting an obsession against certain parts of the human anatomy - teeth, eyes, ears, bones and muscles. [More…]
The man who looks after anything to do with the eyes is in a grey area and we are told to exclude him. [More…]
Where will you draw the line of demarcation if a man has a fractured jaw and an orthodontist or an oral surgeon or a dental practitioner or a legally qualified dentist has to delineate between the extraction of teeth from a fractured jaw and making repairs to a fractured jaw? [More…]
That existing legislation should be amended to provide that dental patients who are referred by a dental practitioner to an oral surgeon- he is a man with extra qualifications - should receive the same rates of benefit as would be payable if the referral were authorised by a medical practitioner. [More…]
It is the general practitioner who realises that A is a much better practical man than B. [More…]
The man who does the referring knows what sort of a person he is referring to- someone whom he can trust and in whom he has confidence. [More…]
I know that as a family man it costs me $20.35 every 3 months to insure for hospital and medical benefits. [More…]
For instance, a man might be at home at the weekend mowing his lawn and cut his foot badly with the mower. [More…]
We suggest that the provision that exists at present is anomalous and unjust, and that if a man is treated for a medical condition and he is a member of a fund he should be eligible to receive the Commonwealth and fund benefits, irrespective of where the service is provided. [More…]
I have learned that because of the inability to get the money to South Australia the man is without pay. [More…]
This man is desperate and most upset. [More…]
They seem to be in a no man’s land between New Guinea and the mainland. [More…]
A man might suffer a permanent physical disability as a result of his accident. [More…]
A man on that wage with 4 or 5 children still has to insure with the fund to get benefits. [More…]
Is the Government saying that because he receives 50c a week more than the other man he can afford to join one of the funds to protect himself and his dependants and to get a Commonwealth benefit? [More…]
We do not know the circumstances of the man living next door. [More…]
The net result is that the wealthy man pays $40 for his protection but the poor man pays $90. [More…]
I am sympathetic as always to the indigent or the family man who might find difficulty in contributing to a medical benefit society. [More…]
I cannot reconcile the Opposition’s desire to pay a Commonwealth benefit to a person who is not in the category of the indigent or the hard pressed family man and who has the capacity to contribute to the scheme but does not. [More…]
That is what the responsible married man did. [More…]
The fact remains that if a man was responsible and his family started to increase he felt that he had to have security., insurance or protection if he could afford it. [More…]
I was a member of a friendly society, as were so many other people. [More…]
The present scheme should appeal to any decent ‘Labor man because it involves mutual assistance. [More…]
As I have already said, I think a man with a big family and in receipt of a low income would experience difficulty in budgeting for his contribution to a medical and hospital benefits scheme. [More…]
If they can afford to take the risk so far as health insurance of themselves and their families is concerned they are paying taxation at a pretty high rate, much higher than the ordinary family man in the Australian community. [More…]
But what is the situation of - for want of a better term - the more humble man in the community, the man who cannot afford the $1.80 a week or whatever the amount is to insure his family? [More…]
To the man with the smaller income, the man who is in need but who does not qualify under the minimum wage standards that we will be discussing later during the course of this debate, this provision can mean a great deal - and not only to him but also to his children. [More…]
He is a man who cannot indulge in mutual aid, to use Senator Gair’s term, because he does not have the wherewithal to indulge in it and it is that type of person that this amendment is setting out to assist. [More…]
But bearing in mind the circumstances I have set out and looking at the situation from the point of view of the humble man in the community, this amendment will mean a great deal and certainly it will give the underprivileged man, the ordinary working man in the community and the family man his just entitlement; he will receive something back for the amount that he contributes to the public purse by way of taxation. [More…]
So we have compulsory insurance there for the ordinary man. [More…]
Should not the determination of whether a man is to be recognised as a specialist be a matter to be decided in some regular way and according to some standards and not left in the area where an advisory body can make a report? [More…]
The general practitioners have said that the AMA does not represent them or has misrepresented them and one of my colleagues in another place, who’ is a medical man, has stated clearly that the AMA does not represent the medical profession. [More…]
What a stupid little interjection from a petty little man. [More…]
This is the question: The whole matter is in the hands of one man. [More…]
She was a little depressed and a young man, a pusher, noticed this and that she was one who could be susceptible to drugs. [More…]
TV man tells of ‘atrocities on girl’. [More…]
Man Tells of Atrocities on Girl’ which purports lo report evidence given before the Senate Select Committee on Drug Trafficking and Drug Abuse in Sydney on Thursday, 28th May. [More…]
However, in seeking the opinions of a number of people here in Parliament House who read newspapers fairly avidly, I found that practically every person to whom I spoke had seen the original report damning Mr Limb as a man who would stand there and watch 12 men commit atrocities on a 14-year-old girl and do nothing about it; but, although the newspaper turned round and printed that small correction, of the people who saw the original report I did not strike one who saw the correction. [More…]
Not only is Mr Limb a man of great fame throughout the Australian community but 1 have the honour of being able to say that he and his wife and family are very close personal friends of mine. [More…]
He was a man who had strong convictions and who brought his convictions to the Parliament where he expressed them vigorously. [More…]
I think it is very fitting that we in this place should pay our respects to that service and to the man. [More…]
Robert Joshua was a man in every sense of the word. [More…]
He was a man of political courage, personal courage and military courage. [More…]
Bob Joshua had a distinguished war record and many years of political parliamentary service. [More…]
He war awarded the Military Cross and later commanded the 2/43 Battalion in Lae and Finschhafen, and then the 13/33 Battalion in Australia until 1946. [More…]
In conclusion, I should like to say thank you to the major Press of Australia for the dignified manner in which it conveyed to the Australian public the news of the passing of a very distinguished Australian. [More…]
Bob Joshua was leader of the Australian Democratic Labor Party from its inception because he was a man of great virtue, a man of exceptional qualities and a man with leadership qualities which commended themselves to those who had the choice of selecting a leader. [More…]
He was a man who loved his God, his country and his fellow man. [More…]
He was a man who in al) his life endeavoured to do the best for this country and for the people who live within its boundaries. [More…]
He was a man who in my view never did a mean or contemptible thing. [More…]
They told me that he was a man of amazing courage and that on occasions when patrols were being conducted, no matter how close they were to the enemy he was always anxious to go a little bit further. [More…]
I can only say that he was a man whose memory I shall always cherish, and in my view, irrespective of political views, he was a great Australian. [More…]
As President of the Australian Democratic Labor Party for many years he was known particularly well to Victorian citizens. [More…]
He was an outstanding citizen of the State of Victoria and I think that to all those who have been associated with politics he was known as a man who by his own leadership led one of the smaller political parties in Australia to great fame. [More…]
Colonel Joshua was a man of great honour and was considered such in his district. [More…]
Indeed there could be the anomalous situation of a man earning 558.50 a week with a wife and 6 dependent children to support not coming within the scope of protection whereas under the Government’s present proposal a man earning $42.50 a week with only himself and his wife to maintain would receive coverage. [More…]
He paying one-third of that would have to pay his medical fee plus one-third of 70c, namely 24c, which means that be would have to pay 49c a week whereas a man earning between $45.50 and $48.50 would have to pay twice as much, namely of the order of 98c to $1 a week. [More…]
If a man in such an income bracket has as dependants a wife and 6 children he still would have to pay $1 a week for medical and hospital insurance, and at the same time he would be obliged to bridge the gap between the common fee specified and the refund received. [More…]
We say that a man earning the minimum wage of $42.50 a week or less should receive the Commonwealth benefit, the fund benefit and the excess specified in the Schedules. [More…]
As I mentioned earlier, under the present proposals we may have the anomalous situation that a man who has a wife and 6 children dependent upon him and earns $58 a week is excluded from these categories, whereas a man who earns $42 a week and has only 1 person dependent upon him is roped in. [More…]
So 1 gave this honourable senator that drug, and today he is a new man - unfortunately. [More…]
This is the man who says: ‘No, you cannot have it’. [More…]
Not one honourable senator would stand up and support the Department in this regard because honourable senators know very well that if they went to their own doctor they would demand these things for themselves. [More…]
At present we have I medical man, a senator, proclaiming the reasons why this amendment should be supported, lt is interesting to note that the honourable senator in his speech in support of the amendment used the term ‘we’. [More…]
I doubt thai he would be the spokesman in the national Parliament for the AMA particularly as in his speech during the second reading debate he was, if 1 remember correctly, a severe critic of the Association, lt may be that at some time in the future the Senate will not have a medical man, a pharmacist or a pharmacologist in its numbers, yet if we add this amendment to the legislation we laymen would have the right to say: Although the experts have advised the Minister that this drug should not be available we believe that it should be available’. [More…]
We had 1 medical man giving his opinion on certain drugs which have been treated in a certain way over the years by the experts. [More…]
As I understand it, and the Minister may correct me if I am wrong, the way the clause will work will be that, although an advisory committee may advise upon whether a man should be recognised as a specialist, it is open to the Director-General to decide, for reasons which seem fit to him, otherwise. [More…]
As far as I understand the position, this is the first occasion on which we have been able to produce documentary evidence thu a man has been refused employment by the Commonwealth for no other reason that is revealed in the available documents than that he was President of the Sydney University Australian Labor Party Club and told the person who was examining him when he applied for employment thai he was a Marxist. [More…]
This case will become known because this is the sort of matter which is agitating the minds of a great many Australians and particularly yoting Australians. [More…]
To deprive a man of his livelihood because of his political opinions is to do violence to him. [More…]
In real terms production per cow or per acre or per man or per dollar have all gone up. [More…]
In the manufacturing sector of the industry, that is among those producers who do not have access to the higher priced fluid milk market, the situation was even worse. [More…]
The next feature mentioned in the Bill is that the agreement must include provision that the out-going man will receive current market value for his land and structural improvements. [More…]
By ensuring that the man who wishes voluntarily to leave the industry will receive current market value, the scheme will protect him against having to sell his farm at a sacrifice. [More…]
The out-going man will thus receive fair value for the capital and effort he has invested over the years. [More…]
Another feature of the Bill is that in disposing of land, the man whose property is being built up will be able to obtain that land at current market value taking into account the nature of the proposed land use and the system of tenure. [More…]
By writing off these superfluous assets, the possibility of the incoming man being saddled with a useless burden of debt is avoided. [More…]
The man whose property is built up will receive time to pay, the terms in respect of repayments being those specified by the State authority. [More…]
I think the most significant thing to happen in Australia over the last few years has been not only the discovery and development of minerals but the fact that simultaneously with these the whole of our primary rural industries find themselves in so much trouble throughout the world and I think it would be a brave man indeed who would be predicting what will be our export income or what is to be the fate of such things as wheat and wool - with that one magic initial letter repeated with which we have grown up since we were schoolboys. [More…]
But when the Deputy Prime Minister says what the Labor Party has been saying for many years, that if we can take these minerals to the second or third stage, this is a different thing. [More…]
I believe that if it is possible for them to import, manufacture and export then surely at the pithead we ought to be able to do some form of manufacturing. [More…]
I know a young man who during the depression years became unemployed through no fault of his own, as did so many tens of thousands of people. [More…]
The man whom I knew personally went to the bank, and notwithstanding the fact that the bank was holding a large sum of money that belonged to him it was not prepared to give him financial accommodation of any kind. [More…]
The bank argued that it had no authority although it could not deny that the money belonged to the young man provided he lived for another 12 months. [More…]
The man to whom I refer is an economist who has paid a great deal of attention to the way that Australia is being sold. [More…]
He is a man who is prepared to buck the big petrol consortiums and international combines. [More…]
The average working man who has to purchase a refrigerator, a washing machine or a motor car has to pay through the nose for it because he is expected to repay money over periods of 3, 4 or 5 years at exorbitant rates of interest. [More…]
If we do not have committees we then operate through a chamber where 1 man speaks and 59 listen and that means that we can achieve very little. [More…]
We do not want any limitations upon the times for debate and we want to deal with each matter thoroughly, but if we are going to deal with them in 1 chamber with 1 man speaking at a time and with everything having to be sieved through here then it just cannot be done. [More…]
Here is a man in the industry who is very close to it and who denies a statement by the the Minister for Defence that the RAF is uninterested in the project at all. [More…]
You teach a man aeronautical engineering and you invest in him, because most of our education is Government subsidised, and he finds he has no outlet so he goes abroad. [More…]
We have proved in the past that Australia is competent to establish a completely independent capacity to manufacture our own military and civil aircraft. [More…]
After all, he is a man who has had some experience in the administration of a department which has a close connection with this subject. [More…]
The man I accuse of delaying the Senate is Senator Branson who stood up and adopted this pious attitude because he thinks he might get some headlines in the Press about holding up the business of the Senate. [More…]
The late Senator Laught was the man who initiated action in the Senate for the appointment of a Senate Select Committee. [More…]
1 was Premier of Queensland for many years. [More…]
When that 1 case arose - the company concerned was Ampol Petroleum Ltd - the Brisbane manager called on me and said that he had been instructed to reserve me a package of shares in Ampol Petroleum Ltd at a ground floor price. [More…]
When I was a young parliamentarian a very successful business man in Queensland - he died 12 months ago or more leaving a lot of money - said to me: ‘I would sooner deal with your Government, although I do not support it, than with members of the Opposition for the reason that, in most cases, members of the Opposition are large shareholders in most of the big companies in this State whereas in your case, and in the case of most of your Ministers, you are not personally interested financially in any company and you reach your decisions uninfluenced by your own financial concern’. [More…]
This man is the Treasurer of the State of Queensland. [More…]
This is the man whose name was mentioned in this chamber less than a week ago as having 500 shares in a consortium of mineral companies which is seeking to despoil and exploit the Cooloola sands area in southern Queensland. [More…]
This gentleman has been involved previously with Comalco. [More…]
Today this same Minister, now involved in the financial affairs of this company, is the man who has to make another decision. [More…]
Previously I have expressed the personal view, which I repeat, that a parliamentarian does nol cease to be a citizen or to enjoy the rights of a citizen when he becomes a parliamentarian, lt seems to me to be completely unreal to suggest that because a man chooses to represent the people of this country his own personal affairs should become public property. [More…]
Nevertheless every man who goes into public life has an obligation in relation to the propriety of his conduct which he has to accept. [More…]
That is an occupational hazard, lt seems to me that that is vastly different from suggesting that because a man chooses to do one of the highest things that a man probably can aspire to, namely, to represent his fellow men, the whole of his domestic life and the whole of his rights as a citizen in the matter of the investment of his savings or anything else should become public property. [More…]
Perhaps it would not look good, politically, if the black man who regularly beats the best any nation can oiler went on to beat die best white men in South Africa. [More…]
Man is a political animal, sportsmen no less so. [More…]
The man of whom I have spoken went out on strike by decision of the men on the job concerned. [More…]
I attended a seminar al Townsville and found there in a little sports club a man typing on an electric typewriter. [More…]
Therefore, in an area which may be represented by a member of the House of Representatives of a different political complexion from that of the constituent concerned, the constituent will very often elect to by-pass that member, it is not that he has anything personal against the member, who might be a very competent man, but he would prefer to discuss his problem wilh a person of his own political persuasion. [More…]
Therefore senators do get many individual representations from all over the State. [More…]
I feel that 1 should register this fact because 1 can speak as one who, because of the interruption of my continuous political association wilh this Parliament - I was here for some years and then left the chamber for some years and returned - is in a position to make an assessment of the demands now imposed on senators compared with the demands imposed on them years ago. [More…]
We must pay a tribute in discussing the Australian Institute of Marine Science to the Great Barrier Reef Committee which has struggled on since 1922, attempting to meet the needs of research, particularly as it has affected the monumental structure, the Great Barrier Reef, which incidentally is the largest structure built by animal or man in the history of the world. [More…]
lt is a small research station near the Great Barrier Reef, lt is struggling on wilh a few tin sheds, one director and a handyman. [More…]
I think it would have been wise for the Government to put a man on the council who was versed in Ihe structural requirements of an institute of marine research. [More…]
Where is the sincerity of a government which allows one of its own departments to take from workers in the printing industry in Australia approximately, on my conservative estimate, 25,000 man hours of work? [More…]
lt would be at least 3,000 man days, at a conservative estimate. [More…]
No doubt there have been many cases of people who have received apparently unjust treatment although that treatment was quite justified by the relevant legislation. [More…]
The case I quoted yesterday concerned the question whether a man is entitled to unemployment benefit when he is unemployed and not engaged in or supporting a strike. [More…]
On the other hand there may be another organisation which has done only what the rejected organisation has done but which has managed to satisfy the Director-General and has received a grant. [More…]
It is possible for a man to be victimised or penalised, and in such a case that man would be able to obtain redress if he had recourse to an arbitrator. [More…]
The mover of this motion referred to the tremendous impetus that work in this field gained in the United Slates of America because a man was elected President who had had the problem in his own family - if it should be called a problem. [More…]
In many ways the Liberal Party of Australia should emulate some of the democracy which is practised in the Labor Party. [More…]
The Labor Party has a system whereby its members are, as has been suggested, subject to ihe democratic decision of their fellow members, whereas there is a tendency in other political parlies for the members to be subject to the will of one man whom they elect. [More…]
When I moved my original motion I warned the Senate about the danger of destroying the whole concept of the standing committee system because inadequate facilities, inadequate staff and the inexperience of many of us would not lead to an effective and a satisfactory result to our deliberations. [More…]
The Senate has not sufficient numbers to man the committees, with the result that honourable senators will not be able to devote their lime and attention to the work of Parliament. [More…]
Democratic Labor Party motion even if it were the best motion conceived by man. [More…]
If it were the best motion that emanated from man, the honourable senator could not support it. [More…]
The dedicated ones know how difficult it is to man these committees. [More…]
Yet the Senate has provided for the setting up of committees that cannot be manned successfully and cannot be serviced successfully. [More…]
Why should the man have to bear a stain on his professional reputation if he is willing to have a court of law decide the issue as to whether what he did was a conscientious discharge of his obligations? [More…]
Surely it is a fair enough proposition that if a man seeks to become a director of one of these organisations he should understand that his investments ought not to be in organisations in which that fund is investing; or if he chooses to do that, that oughtto be a matter which can be included in a report. [More…]
I refer to the peculiar manner in which the British great train robber, Biggs, and his family emigrated to Australia and to today’s report of a man eloping with his brother’s wife and family on assisted migrant passages to Australia. [More…]
The honourable senator referred to a report concerning a man who recently came here with his brother’s wife and two children as British assisted migrants. [More…]
The woman successfully posed as the man’s wife throughout the careful procedure associated with the granting of assisted passages. [More…]
The 2 children were put forward as the man’s own children. [More…]
The man’s real marriage certificate was produced. [More…]
The man and woman and her two children travelled to Australia with the type of document of identity normally used by assisted migrants. [More…]
Is there any sin in a man buying shares? [More…]
Is there any sin in a man buying a house? [More…]
Is there any sin in a man buying something to try to better himself? [More…]
The qualification that 1 have made - and I repeat that it is a personal qualification - is that a man must act with complete propriety. [More…]
The Government had hoped that by the end of the original period of operation of the Act to have introduced legislation which would have provided for the future and permanent arrangements in the industry. [More…]
It could be another 2 years before the future structure of the industry becomes reasonably clear and before the permanent level of the work force in the industry can be determined with any precision. [More…]
Secondly, although only about 20% of the work force is not permanently employed, these workers are spread through a large number of comparatively small ports and there is a need to determine what son of employment arrangements would be most suitable for them and for the industry. [More…]
Thirdly, while the permanent arrangements have brought considerable benefits to the work force and while the position as to costs in actual stevedoring operations appears to be reasonably satisfactory - a factor which the Government regarded as crucial - the industrial relations situation in the industry has been far from good. [More…]
Indeed over the past 12 months it has deteriorated to such an extent that the losses in man hours through industrial stoppages are of the same order as in the pre-permanency days. [More…]
However, since the introduction of permanent employment there has been a marked diminution in the functions of the Authority. [More…]
Primarily, this has occurred in the permanent employment ports which, as has been said, account for 80% of the industry’s labour force. [More…]
Thus, there is no longer any justification for retaining a full time 3-man Authority in the light of the reduced work load it has to carry. [More…]
True, further ports may become permanent ports over the next 2 years, but this is simply in accordance with the intention and authority of the temporary provisions Act introduced in 1967. [More…]
However, it would be wrong to imply that the policy which the Government has been following in this industry - namely, of transferring greater responsibility for the management of this industry to the employers - will not ultimately affect the Authority’s functions. [More…]
Over the next 2 years, the Government will be giving detailed consideration to what the permanent role of a statutory authority in this industry should be. [More…]
It is impossible to say, at this time, the extent of the functions and the number and types of staff that will be required by a statutory authority in the permanent arrangements to be developed in the future. [More…]
The welfare and future of the staff of the Authority are matters of the utmost importance, and proper provision for any who might bc displaced in whatever permanent arrangements are ultimately developed for the industry should be determined well in advance of any such displacement. [More…]
I - real terms production per cow or per acre or ,j.-r man or per dollar have all gone up . [More…]
But how can we blame a drowning man for clutching at a straw? [More…]
Because it will take one third if they are pickedon one-man-family units lo make a big enough dent in our national production lo leave a nice compact cosy industry for the big ones, and the high finance boys. [More…]
That: is the opinion of a man who would have a knowledge of the industry, and 1 agree with him. [More…]
1 think that one thing that has affected many of us in examining this legislation is the uneasy feeling that this may be one of the first measures towards the elimination of the family farm. [More…]
This is not going to be much good to the man who has a farm, who is up against it at the moment but who believes, and has some reason lo believe, that he can make it with a little bit of assistance. [More…]
I mention, for example, the provision of long term loans at low interest rates and the establishment, in some States, of organisations of the farmers’ debt adjustment board type for the purpose of assisting the man who is up against it, who is rinding that he cannot get credit, but who would like the opportunity to put his position before such a board and to submit to it that, if he could get reasonable assistance, he could still make a go of his farm. [More…]
Bui to return to the small farms about which I was speaking - and I suppose that a man is nearly always influenced by his own environment - with the passing of cash cropping a lot of the farmers turned to dairying. [More…]
A man would not be human if he did not regret the fact that the same or similar consideration was not given to the Australian primary producer when some of his products were included in the New Zealand-Australia Free Trade Agreement without reference to any inquiry at all. [More…]
Why on earth was the whole ambit of the potato processing industry and, more importantly, the position of the man who does the initial producing not referred to the Tariff Board for its consideration instead of only the economic position of 3 processors? [More…]
But the mere fact that there will be no coercion, that participation in the scheme is optional and that any man is tree to please himself whether he will take advantage of this proposal and sell his property to his neighbour has influenced me. [More…]
Only a few months ago a man said to me: ‘I milk 25 cows. [More…]
It is happening at a time when considerable sections of the community are demanding and receiving more for their work and services. [More…]
lt was inevitable that the coming of the European Economic Community, the restriction of other markets and our rising costs in this country would have been against the interests of the dairy man. [More…]
A commodity such as dairy produce is essential, particularly for children, and the family man will be asked to pay more not only in prices but also in taxation. [More…]
Instead of that we are nol only behind many other parts of the world but the struggle we will have to maintain our standard of living will be greater, particularly for those sections of the community involved in primary production. [More…]
Many other attempts, such as subsidisation over the years have been made to bolster the primary industries. [More…]
We are finding that the man on the land is facing a future of very great uncertainty. [More…]
For this reason and because the legislation shows consideration for the well being of the small man 1 wish to address a few words to the bill. [More…]
This scheme shows understanding and takes a positive approach to the alleviation of the special difficulties being experienced by many small dairy farmers. [More…]
He was imprisoned for doing the kind of thing which nowadays earns a man the reputation of a hero and numerous appearances on television and radio. [More…]
1 want to pay my personal tribute to him because, as one who has conducted many election campaigns on behalf of Labor candidates in various areas of New South Wales, I always appreciated his co-operation and the excellent and powerful speeches that he made in every Federal, State or municipal election campaign in which he was engaged. [More…]
As a man of high principle, a pacifist, he was prepared to suffer for his principles. [More…]
All I want to say is that I join with other senators in remembering a man to whom I may have been opposed at certain times in his political life but who was prepared to stand up and be counted in support of the things that he thought were right. [More…]
I think Senator Prowse was the next honourable senator who made a contribution to the debate and he asked about the man who volunteers to participate in the scheme. [More…]
The value that a man who volunteers to participate in the scheme will receive for his farm will be one based on the fair market value of the dairy land in his district. [More…]
I think Senator Prowse also asked who would say what a farm was worth in the event of one man wanting more for the improvements than the other. [More…]
The maximum figure for participation in this scheme would concern a man who owns a property and is considering whether he should buy the property next door. [More…]
So this keeps the big boys, as Senator McManus calls them, out of the scheme. [More…]
What concerns me is this: When does the working man receive any of this tax free income? [More…]
Because the big man has been allowed to develop, the small man has had to have his quota cut. [More…]
Any man with red blood in him would be trying to get the wheat out of the bins the best way he could, lo making a judgment on the price of over quota wheat the Board has to consider whether it should fix a price that will enable the grower to clear his storages and just to cover his costs for the year, or whether it should allow stock to starve. [More…]
In New South Wales for a long time the amount for funeral expenses has been $250; in Victoria it has been the reasonable cost of a funeral: in South Australia for some years it has been $200; in Western Australia it is SI 63; and in Tasmania it is the reasonable cost of burial. [More…]
The proposed weekly rate of compensation in the First Schedule for an employee without dependants - which would be the basis for the payment allowed for a married man - is to be increased to S3 1.80. [More…]
A wife is to receive $7.70 and the amount for a dependent child will be increased to $2.80, making a total of $42.30 for a man, wife and I child. [More…]
The Australian Council of Trade Unions has said for many years - and in one or two States the principle has been applied - that a man who is injured at work should receive what he was earning before the accident. [More…]
In that case the High Court ruled that this provision meant that for the purposes of assessing the man’s weekly pay at the time of his injury overtime had to be excluded, as did the provision, which was in the nature of an advantage, of weekly time off for which he could receive money. [More…]
A man may be earning $40 a week in basic pay but with overtime he is getting $70. [More…]
The example I gave was of a man whose basic salary was $40 but who was earning a weekly average of $70 with overtime. [More…]
To complete the history, workers compensation was introduced into Western Australia, which led the way, in 1902; in Queensland, in 1905; in New South Wales and Tasmania, in 1910; in South Australia, in 1911; and in Victoria, in 1914. [More…]
Surely his suffering, his loss and his pain are the same as the man who can prove negligence. [More…]
Where the machinery was manufactured and purchased, where the iron was forged, etc., are unknown. [More…]
Possibly the manufacturer is negligent. [More…]
His award is less than the award given to the man who can prove negligence against his employer. [More…]
But the liability in respect of a man working at an aerodrome in the aircraft industry is limited to $12,000. [More…]
If a man who can afford a plane trip is killed, why should his estate have a claim for $30,000 without proof of negligence when the estate of a man who works in a factory does not have such a claim? [More…]
But the weekly earnings of a metal tradesman today are around the $70 mark. [More…]
So the tradesman today receives only about $1,000 more than his counterpart in Great Britain received 90 years ago. [More…]
A single man who is injured and has total and permanent incapacity receives $31.80 a week. [More…]
The child of a deceased Commonwealth worker cannot be brought up to enjoy the standard of living and the standard of education that is provided to the child of the man who saves his money and who continues in his employment. [More…]
It is one of the shames of our society that, because a man has sacrificed his life in industry, his child is treated as an inferior being in the way in which it is educated and brought up. [More…]
In a judgment in the Adelaide Supreme Court on 24th December 1968, Mr Justice Hogarth awarded $44,717 in damages to a man whose leg was amputated above the knee as the result of injuries sustained in a car accident. [More…]
About that time I was called upon by some people I knew to try to convince a man who had been injured in an industrial accident - he could prove negligence against his employer - that he should accept $40,000 as suitable compensation for the loss of a leg above the knee. [More…]
At that stage the man was fit to resume work. [More…]
Upon the payment of this compensation the man was required to repay from that amount the workers compensation payments that he had received as well as the payments in respect of his medical expenses, leaving an amount of 22,000 allocated as general damages. [More…]
Under the legislation now being considered, if this man had been unable to prove negligence in respect of the loss of a leg above the knee, he would have been awarded $9,000. [More…]
The dependants of a man who dies at age 25 as the result of an industrial accident obtain the same benefit as do the dependants of a man who dies at age 65 as the result of an industrial accident. [More…]
Surely also the problems of rearing children must be different in respect of each man. [More…]
In the vast majority of cases the injury is not the fault of the injured man. [More…]
In the case of the Commonwealth the rate payable to a man is shown to bc S3 1.80 a week. [More…]
In New South Wales the figure is $26; in Victoria, $20; in Queensland, 29.30; in South Australia, $27: and in Tasmania, 29.80. [More…]
The figure in Tasmania is the closest to that of the Commonwealth. [More…]
In the case of a man with a wife the Commonwealth figure is shown to be S39.50. [More…]
The figure for Tasmania is $37. [More…]
In the case of a man with a wife and I child, which I think is a fair basis on which to ascertain whether the Commonwealth payment is in excess of that in the Stales- [More…]
In the case of a man with a wife and I child the Commonwealth figure is $42.30. [More…]
The Tasmanian figure is $40.80 and for the other Slates it is as low as $28.50. [More…]
We support the Bill, but we intend to move amendments to it because we feel that the new Corporation will be hamstrung in many ways. [More…]
It was finally the boldness of one man, the late Ben Chifley, who stood up and said: ‘Here is the finance for it,’ that led to the work being commenced. [More…]
The success of the Snowy Mountains hydro-electric scheme stems from the fact that it was placed under the administration of a very great man in Sir William Hudson who moved in with government backing but with all the courage and imagination of a great engineer. [More…]
It is Australia’s example of the pertinacity of man in his triumph over, and perhaps the conquering of, nature itself. [More…]
The brokers have been the evil people in this industry over many years. [More…]
In many cases they do not provide a service. [More…]
Generally the consumer has to pay the broker’s expenses because the producer has no way of passing on his costs, lt is the middle man who has been reaping the cream of the industry. [More…]
Textile industry leaders in most countries agree that wool prices could be up to 11% higher without affecting demand. [More…]
He is not a man without experience in the industry. [More…]
The facts disclosed are of falling consumption and the failure of wool to benefit from the increased demand for textile fibres. [More…]
In the first quarter of 1970, as against the first quarter of 1969. consumption of merino wool in the United Kingdom feil by 16% while that of man made fibres fell by only 1%. [More…]
In the United Kingdom the consumption of man made fibres fell by 1%. [More…]
I will come to the world increase in the use of man made fibres in a moment. [More…]
All the modern mills throughout the world can change from the manufacture of woollen cloth to synthetics with very little change or interruption to their production. [More…]
Many people seem to overlook that fact, lt is not use referring to what happened in the First World War, after the First World War or after the Second World War. [More…]
We are facing ever increasing competition from man-made fibres and this is proving a great threat to the Australian wool industry and to the wool industry in the world generally. [More…]
Herein we see a further application of the principle of helping a man in a given line of production who finds that because of the smallness of his holding he has an uneconomic unit. [More…]
It should nor be beyond the wit of man to arrive at a system by which the States of this Commonwealth would be reasonably certain of sufficient reimbursement to enable them to carry on their services. [More…]
The producer of raw materials supplies the manufacturer and stamp duty is levied when payment is made. [More…]
The manufacturer manufactures the raw material and when he is paid for it by the wholesaler the transaction is stamped again. [More…]
The worker and the pensioner who buy goods will pay as much in stamp duty as the rich man will pay. [More…]
I wonder whether the Leader of the Government in the Senate or the Treasurer (Mr Bury) - the man who suggested in one speech that this turnover tax could be implemented and increased by 10 times - understands what happens in the case of cigarettes, on which there is a very heavy excise duty. [More…]
Being a legal man Senator Greenwood would, of course, protest that the full measure of the law should be exerted against the newsboys in Victoria, who have been working on a commission basis, for not paying their taxes to the State as is their due. [More…]
From my experience and my knowledge of the trouble within the union movement today I think that any sections of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act which make certain processes mandatory are generally unsatisfactory. [More…]
Finally in all disputes it is necessary to get the opposing parties around a table and to have a qualified man, not necessarily to arbitrate but to bring parties together. [More…]
Another might have a man with fairly strong or militant views - or a Communist - as secretary. [More…]
The young man tells all the members of his union that the official of the other union took his men out on strike and got. [More…]
We have reached the stage today where if a married man who has a wife and 2 children receives an increase in his wages, whether it be by arbitration, direct action or over award payments, he is no better off a fortnight after receiving the increase because rising prices, over which we have no control, have swallowed up whatever increase he gets. [More…]
We know the practices which were part of the abuse of these powers where proceedings were brought in respect of stoppages at every separate establishment even though there was a general stoppage which, in any man’s language, ought to have been treated as one breach. [More…]
We are discussing the Conciliation and Arbitration Bill 1970, and in 1907 the workers of Australia were committeed to a system of arbitration which, in their view, was something that would emancipate them from the feudal system of history. [More…]
This Government has evolved a system of so-called arbitration which has continuously tried to hold back the course of industrial history and the history of the emancipation of the ordinary working man. [More…]
The working man of today has the opportunities of compulsory education; he is able to get away from the continuous grind of poverty; he is able to see the light on the hill; he believes that after all is said and done he has certain basic rights and certain basic civil liberties; and he is looking for a place in the sun. [More…]
The only asset that he has to sell - his labour - is constrained and circumscribed by the Court by the force of law and by the use of the old traditions under which the sledge hammer of penalties, fines and goal sentences is used against a man who is standing up only for his rights. [More…]
We have never watched carefully enough how this insidious instrument of the exploitation of man by man has been able to become part of the citadel of the system. [More…]
It is a way of perpetuating the subservience of the working man. [More…]
It is a way of imposing the hammer of law on the working man to the advantage of the profit seeker and the owner of the means of production, distribution and exchange. [More…]
But this latter idea has pervaded the Commonwealth Industrial Court where the working man has been looked on as the enemy of the profit seeker. [More…]
The rank and file people in the industrial movement today look on the arbitration system in the same way as the man with a Mercedes Benz looks on the horse and buggy, lt is old fashioned. [More…]
Of course we will see the greatest turmoil that this country has ever seen because this very institution is a basic part of the unjust system which forces a man virtually to be a slave and to surrender the rights that he has to sell the only commodity that he can offer - his labour. [More…]
The working man is circumscribed by the provisions of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act and he is required to sell at the price at which the boss wants him to sell. [More…]
As long as we have people who will sit quietly by and watch the Government introduce more and more amendments, more and more circumscription and place more and more chains around the neck of the working man the better it will be for the owners of the means of production - the exploiters. [More…]
With the inflation that exists today we find that the man who is contributing to industry is less and less able to buy the goods he -produces. [More…]
The increases in interest rates, the inflation and all these other influences that are present today are decreasing the share of the cake the working man should get out of his production. [More…]
The powers of the Court make it legal for the owners of industry to force the working man to receive less and less of what he produces, ls it any wonder that everyone on this side of the chamber wants lo oppose this clause? [More…]
We are all aware of the facts relating to this great man O’Shea who was condemned by Senator Greenwood. [More…]
When a man has a commodity to sell he should be able to bargain about the value of that commodity.’ [More…]
Millions of people went out into the streets and said that this man O’Shea was right. [More…]
Mr Temporary Chairman,I bow to your reminder of your control of this Committee but I have placed before you a point of view that all is not as quiet as it would seem on the surface. [More…]
But the flow of history is such that this undercurrent will sweep away injustices and sweep away court authority if it is unjust and if it does not allow a man to be able to aspire towards the great principles of the expression of his desire to be able to improve his own position in the community, to widen his environment, to widen his beliefs and to be able to aspire towards a better life and a higher quality of life. [More…]
These are the things that are in the soul of the ordinary working man and the powers of the court are the things that are restraining him. [More…]
We have seen a performance again tonight by the Minister for Works (Senator Wright) who has shown throughout his whole career a violent hatred of the trade union movement and of members of trade unions. [More…]
He is a man who has never missed an opportunity to berate the tradeunion movement and its elected officers; a man who, on the discussion of the Stevedoring Industry Bill in 1965, said that he wanted to destroy ‘this wretched Federation’, referring to the Waterside [More…]
That is an occupation which he ought to be following, not that of a man responsible, even if only in a subordinate capacity, in a small job but nevertheless one which is too big for him, handling in the upper House of this Parliament Bills which affect the destiny of about 2 million Australian workers. [More…]
He is an irresponsible man. [More…]
It is a shameful performance of the petty little gauleiter, and I believe that what he has done tonight- [More…]
As an ex-railway man Senator Gair will agree with me that a shunter working in a marshalling yard at midnight is more important to the community than somebody selling used cars on a car lot. [More…]
Arbitration was brought in for the protection of the working man. [More…]
The Commonwealth Arbitration Commission operates for the protection of the working man; if there were no inhuman bosses there would be no need for arbitration. [More…]
Sir Wilfrid was certainly a man who earned the title of Great Australian. [More…]
His interest in the Olympics continued throughout his life and was climaxed when he was appointed Chairman of the Organising Committee for the 1956 Olympic Games in Melbourne. [More…]
I think I speak for all when I say that he was a man of strong views and a man who held very strongly to his views. [More…]
He was a very humane man; he had a human touch. [More…]
In our Parliament, where strong views are held, he showed great humanity. [More…]
I know that we all in this Parliament feel that Australia has lost a very wonderful Australian and a man who had a great contribution to make in the interests of his country. [More…]
He was a man with a great spread of interests and a man who lived a crowded life. [More…]
It would be difficult to find many other Australians who played so many different roles in one lifetime. [More…]
Above all, Sir Wilfrid was a man with strongly held views on independence. [More…]
Although he undoubtedly held many political views similar to those of Sir Robert Menzies, he was too independent to remain a Minister under Sir Robert after 195S and he quickly established a reputation as a most effective back bencher, always prodding the Government, criticising it strongly whenever he disapproved of policy or performance. [More…]
The outstanding qualities of this man extended well beyond the boundaries of Parliament where he served and legislated with distinction. [More…]
He will always be remembered outside (he parliamentary ranks as a man who represented his country as an Olympic athlete of distinction and who put back into sport probably more than he ever took out of it. [More…]
Sir Wilfrid, significantly and appropriately, was Chairman of the Organising Committee of the Olympic Games held in Melbourne in 1956, the first time that the Olympic Games had been held in this country. [More…]
Any mention of this man would be incomplete without remembering that Sir Wilfrid served his country with valour during 2 world wars. [More…]
He and I shared a common interest in foreign affairs and we had many a discussion upon foreign policy and how the security of this country should be preserved. [More…]
As I looked at him I could not help thinking how well he appeared to be for a man of his age. [More…]
I found him to be a very humane man, as has been said. [More…]
He was a truly great man. [More…]
But, if anyone were to ask me, as one who knew him for many years, where and when he made his greatest contribution, I would certainly say that it was during the years of the depression. [More…]
His task of administering State relief to so many people was not an easy one, but he carried it out in a manner that was typical of the man. [More…]
So although he will be known for many things, that period in our history was one that ensured for Billy Kent Hughes an abiding place in the memory of the people who worked with him and who went through those difficult years. [More…]
He was a great family man. [More…]
I have many memories of Sir Wilfrid Kent Hughes and therefore I would like to support the motion. [More…]
He was active and known throughout his electorate and concerned, over and above what might reasonably have been expected of a man with his tremendous range of interests, to maintain close relations with his electors and, in particular, with the rank and file of the Liberal Party branches throughout his electorate. [More…]
He was a remarkable man of great nobility, of great strength, of sincerity and of outgoing humanity. [More…]
The diseases which are at the moment causing concern to overseas inspection authorities are, in fact, regarded as being harmless to man. [More…]
Has the Australian Atomic Energy Commission had a twenty-two man team investigating the SGHWR, if so, where did they carry out their investigations. [More…]
The disease is not regarded as being communicable to man. [More…]
Recently I came across a report of a statement made by the man who is now the Leader of the Federal Labor Party. [More…]
The answer to those questions is simply: No, they are marching because this Government has failed to cater for the needs of the man on the land. [More…]
No one can say today that the rural industries are not faced with many problems. [More…]
The Government is very conscious of the situation and is looking at both short term and long term measures to improve the lot of the man on the land. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite today in this chamber - no doubt others will follow - have been shedding crocodile tears and saying what should be done for the man on the land. [More…]
When a man is drowning we do not argue whether it is worthwhile spending money on a lifebuoy to throw him. [More…]
Senator Drake-Brockman quoted what Mr Hawke had had to say and led the people of Australia who were listening to him - his speech was broadcast - to believe that Mr Hawke is the leader of the Labor Party. [More…]
He is the man who has to see that the workers get justice in their wages and conditions. [More…]
It is of no use Senator Cant saying that this happened a long time ago because he quoted what my friend the Minister for Air (Senator Drake- Brock man) said in 1961. [More…]
His colleagues here do not support him so he is one man out. [More…]
I have said many times that the man who is established and owns his own property has a good chance of survival for a time. [More…]
It is sincerely hoped that some relief will be given, especially to those people who have interest bills to meet, because it seems to me that their position must be infinitely worse than the position of the established man. [More…]
It would be a very brave man who would write a regulation “and prescribe educational standards without knowing whether within a few months those standards were going to be altered because of the great changes being made to standards of education. [More…]
The regulations state only that the Board requires that the man has the educational standard for transfer or for promotion. [More…]
He is a man of great legal knowledge, ability and experience and I think probably he realises a great deal better than many of us just what is involved in questions of this kind. [More…]
So in essence there would be 40 senators available to man committees. [More…]
So we have the ridiculous situation where, in our enthusiasm to set up committees, the Senate can no longer adequately man the committees. [More…]
1 Senator Murphy proposes to refer to the Standing Committee on Primary and Secondary Industry and Trade the question of the desirability and practicability of establishing a national organisation to deal with the effects of natural disasters, and in particular those arising from fire, flood and drought.I was chairman of one Senate Select Committee which was proposed by the then Leader of the Government in the Senate, Senator Sir Denham Henty, and I am currently Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Securities and Exchange, which was proposed by Senator Murphy. [More…]
I was interested in the final remarks of Senator Sir Magnus Cormack when he decided, as a matter of his own supposition or investigation, we would not be able to man committees or that committees had reasons for sitting other than those set out in the Standing Orders, ft is interesting that during the currency of this debate two remarks have been made concerning select committees. [More…]
Has his attention been drawn to a statement by Professor Zelman Cowen, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Queensland, that it is disturbing to see one man or woman standing in front of 250 students for 55 minutes at a lecture? [More…]
Hawker-De Havilland Australia Pty Ltd is engaged on Macchi airframe and Viper engine production, miscellaneous spares manufacture, overhaul of various engines and aircraft, and some commercial work. [More…]
The work loads for 1970-71 for these facilities are expected to be approximately 1 million man hours for the Government Aircraft Factories, 1,600,000 man hours for Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation Pty Ltd and 1,200,000 man hours for Hawker-De Havilland Australia Pty Ltd. [More…]
The main prospects for an early new work load are the possibility of producing Macchi aircraft for New Zealand, co-production of light, observation helicopters, the manufacture of an anti-aircraft missile for the Army, Turana production, project ‘N’ production, and participation in overseas defence projects through off-set orders, coproduction and subcontracting. [More…]
Mr Deputy President, this Budget represents social injustice perpetrated by an unfeeling government against those already economically handicapped - the wage earners, the family man, the pensioner. [More…]
If those whose policy is justice for the family man will support that policy with their votes there will be enough votes in the Senate to defeat these measures. [More…]
The Budget proposal, against this background of increasing interest rates, is now to increase the taxes on the commodities which comprise the standard of living of the average man and his family. [More…]
It feels that it is not here to govern for the ordinary common man and it is cheek on the part of the unions to come forward and put documents before the Government. [More…]
The family man has not even been considered. [More…]
There has been no mention at all of a family man who would be paying no taxation. [More…]
A married man with 4 children will be 40c a week better off. [More…]
To the wealthiest man in the community, the man who is earning so much that he has to pay the maximum rate, the Government, says: ‘We will remit to you $213 because you have the responsibility of looking after a wife’. [More…]
To the man on the minimum wage of $43 a week it says: ‘We wiM remit to you $65 because you have the responsibility of supporting a wife’. [More…]
To the man next door who is a low wage earner and is paying only 10c tax in the $1 it says: ‘We will give you back SIO, so you have to pay $90’. [More…]
We charge the poor man in the community nearly double the charge on the wealthy man who is best able to afford it. [More…]
lt was produced by a man who in his first sally into the area of the Ministry lasted a remarkably short time. [More…]
This is the sort of performance that we are getting from this Government. [More…]
Are we as responsible citizens of this country, forming the Parliament of the nation, prepared to sit by idly and accept a situation in which we hand out to these people crumbs from the rich man’s table - a miserable 50c a week which does not restore the value of pensions to their former level? [More…]
It adds further to the iniquitous situation regarding indirect taxation which hits hardest at the family man and imposes a greater percentage penalty on him than on people better able to look after themselves. [More…]
This situation has obtained in Australia for a great many years. [More…]
By way of explanation I would like to say that this week a blind man was conducted round Parliament House while explanations and descriptions given to him were recorded on a tape recorder for later study and reflection. [More…]
This tour of Canberra was the last leg of a long journey around Australia undertaken by this courageous blind man. [More…]
As many courageous blind people desirous of such a service could not afford a first class fare, will the Minister take up with the internal airlines the possibility of extending this generous service to a blind person travelling tourist class? [More…]
Was the sum of $1 deducted from wages due to each Aboriginal man and SO cents from wages due to each Aboriginal woman at Yuendumu, without the wage earner’s consent, for the purpose of purchasing a bus: if so, who authorised this deduction, and was a receipt given or the deduction marked on wages envelopes. [More…]
A wage earner on $70 a week - a man in the section of the work force represented by the ACTU - will have bis income tax reduced by between 60c and 75c a week, but he is faced with increases in indirect taxation on cigarettes, wines and other commodities. [More…]
After determining the revenue that it believed to be essential for the forthcoming year the Government set out to put a tax burden upon the working man in industry. [More…]
A man receiving a salary of $10,000 a year will receive a good deal. [More…]
Their income tax will be reduced by $3 or more a week but the working man to whom we promised some relief in the Budget will find his income tax reduced by some 50c a week only to be confronted by the higher cost of the commodities thai he purchases. [More…]
Nol - a magnificent man who is to be admired for his courage, initiative and leadership. [More…]
For a long time the man on the land was able to increase his productivity to counter the rising costs of production. [More…]
Huge surpluses of many of our commodities have meant that we have had to be careful that we no longer over-produce and merely sit with a costly surplus on our bands. [More…]
I would not be peculiar in saying that, because I think most Australians admired this man for the contribution he made to industry. [More…]
But here we have to compete with foreign traders and manufacturers. [More…]
We want every man to have a job and to earn a decent and real income - I use the term ‘real income’ instead of ‘wage’ because there is a great difference - so that all of us can maintain the high standard of living that we enjoy in this country. [More…]
I have referred to a statement by Mr Hawke on a previous occasion, but I will refer to it again because Mr Hawke has no time or sympathy whatsoever for the man on the land. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite stand up in this chamber and say that they support the man on the land, but at the same time, in the same breath, they say that they support. [More…]
One can do no more than condemn the actions of a man who is prepared to go outside the parliamentary institution in order to carry on and to encourage such actions as he suggested. [More…]
I remind the Senate that a few of us voted for the abolition of probate, but it was noticeable that the Opposition was conspicuous by its absence in that not one member of the Australian Labor Party saw fit to cross the chamber and support us in a move which would have given so much relief to the man on the land. [More…]
His question remained on the notice paper for many months. [More…]
As I said, it had lessons for many people. [More…]
Even if I am wrong in that statement I defy anybody to give me figures showing a comparison of the cost of man-hours lost in industry during the protest against this Budget held last week with the cost to the rural industries of increased shipping freights. [More…]
I conclude by saying that in whatever form the discontent manifests itself - whether it be in the form of industrial action or statements by economists - the Budget cannot be reconciled with the description of Australia as ‘The Lucky Country’. [More…]
I believe that there are many fields in which the Government could have imposed higher taxation. [More…]
Regardless of what honourable senators opposite may think about the terrible man who is the President of the Australian Council of Trade Unions - Bob Hawke - the plain fact is that he has taken the oil industry on in relation to its capacity to pay. [More…]
There is no need for me to remind the Senate that the bulk of the wage earners in Australia are not in that bracket, lt is true, of course, that up to a certain figure, as stated in the Treasurer’s Budget Speech, a 10 per cent remission of personal income tax is being implemented but one does not need to be a mathematician or a Euclid to arrive at the conclusion that a person on $8,000 to $12,000 per annum must of necessity benefit much more from any income tax relief than the average man in the street who earns somewhere in the vicinity of $3,000 per annum. [More…]
The ordinary man in the street - the ordinary wage earner - will not benefit as the Government promised in its policy speech before the last general election. [More…]
Balanced against these modest tax remissions - and I mean modest in the sense of their benefit to the ordinary man in the street - we find that an excise has been imposed on wine, that increased excises have been imposed on cigarettes and cigars and that increased telephone and postal charges have been imposed. [More…]
The 2i per cent increase in sales tax on consumer goods which were previously in the 25 per cent class is another slug on the ordinary man in the street. [More…]
On the one hand the Government has given them $289m by way of reductions in personal income tax; but on the other hand, when all the hidden and indirect as well as direct taxes which are contained in the Budget, cheek by jowl with this remission in personal income tax, are taken into account, I regret to say that the result to the ordinary man in the street is nothing. [More…]
1 do not doubt that the honourable senator agrees that Mr Hawke’s comments were quite false, lt is quite wrong for any man to be urging that a strike should take place. [More…]
Traditionally governments have introduced Budgets for many thousands of dollars of expenditure for one year. [More…]
We find that the superannuation or insurance which a man who retired 10 years ago provided for himself has been eroded, and no step which the Federal Government has taken has been able to assist that man. [More…]
Captain Sir Gordon Taylor, was one of the men who pioneered this route and I think was the first man to land on Easter Island. [More…]
In opposition to my proposals honourable senators have sometimes suggested that we are already running short of persons to man the committees. [More…]
The young man produced a lovely huge jar of it. [More…]
In formulating the Budget, the Gorton Government forgot the family man, ignored the chronically ill and insulted the pensioner. [More…]
Let us consider the history of the Minister for the Interior (Mr Nixon), because he is the man in the spotlight at the moment in relation to Wave Hill, in particular. [More…]
He was a member of the Joint Select Committee on the New and Permanent Parliament House from 25th October 1967. [More…]
Thousands of these people are living in Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia where injustices are being perpetrated by pastoralists, by governments and by people who, in many instances unfortunately, are associated with departments which are supposed to minister to their welfare. [More…]
I respectfully request that there be a complete re-evaluation of the whole matter, that the control of the Aboriginal problem be placed in the hands of one man rather than have Mr Wentworth trying to do a job and the Prime Minister (Mr Gorton) saying: ‘lt is my job; I will exercise control.’ [More…]
But although the Government has provided the facilities for equality of opportunity I suggest that man is not equal. [More…]
Man is a strange and variable person and because of this we must retain in our society the profit motive within a properly constructed system of legal restraint. [More…]
We must retain the profit motive within a system of law which has been developed by society over many years and which is imposed by that society upon the entire community. [More…]
The profit motive probably goes closer than anything else to establishing the answer to the desires of human nature. [More…]
It is human nature which tends to break down most of the theories, philosophies and solutions which we can so readily find to our problems. [More…]
I suggest that the incentive of profit within a properly constructed system of legal restraint goes much further than anything else towards satisfying man’s desire to be free, to have individual ownership and individual and personal incentive. [More…]
Senator Douglas Scott comes from the Grenfell district of New South Wales, which was part of the beloved country of a very great son of the Labor movement, Henry Lawson - the man who wrote the immortal Faces in the Street’, ‘Wait Here, Second Class’ and many other great poems that had a profound influence on the thinking of the Labor movement. [More…]
The Government is saying in the Budget, in effect: ‘We expect a married pensioner couple to live on 66 per cent of the minimum wage struck by the Arbitration Commission for 1 man.’ [More…]
As well as the sections of the community to which I have referred, our artists and writers are now protesting and are demanding the right to employment in their own industry, in their own profession, in their own country. [More…]
It cannot comprehend the problems of the man in the street. [More…]
I do not want the Senate to think that I am having a one man hate campaign against this [More…]
The Department refused to accept any advice given to it because, as I have said repeatedly in this place, if: you pay a man a large sum of money - $22,000 a year - he is supposed to know the answers and therefore any outsider obviously cannot have any brains or any worthwhile idea. [More…]
In Canberra a man is practising private pathology. [More…]
In Canberra this man is doing private pathology. [More…]
The Government keeps on talking about private enterprise yet here is a man who has set up a clinic in a suburb and the Commonwealth Government immediately sets up a public one opposite him. [More…]
This man sets up his private enterprise and the Government is going to surround him with public clinics. [More…]
This man opened a branch surgery in the Woden Valley in order to give private practice a better service and the Government promptly put in a free service in opposition to him. [More…]
If 1 were a business man I do not think I would set up an organisation which I knew would return me an adverse finding. [More…]
He is considerate of the position of the wine maker, the grape grower and the small man who will experience difficulty in finding funds to pay the excise under the system which is to be applied. [More…]
If the Government had seen fit to do something about increasing child endowment instead of reducing the level of personal income taxation on taxpapers in the lower and middle income groups I feel that it would have been more beneficial to the family man. [More…]
However, I feel that an increase of child endowment could have been more beneficial to the family man. [More…]
Last night Senator Toohey spoke about the injustice suffered by a man who is eligible for the age pension but whose wife is ineligible because she is under the age of 60. [More…]
It has been pointed out before in this chamber that it is very difficult for a woman - even a man - over the age of 50 to obtain employment. [More…]
But, on the other hand, as the newspaper said, the mass of the Australian people demand endless benefits and they seem unaware that the taxpayer must pay for everything. [More…]
In my time in Parliament, whenever a new tax has been mooted or an increase in taxation has been proposed, the Opposition, in particular, has branded it as being the most iniquitious, unfair and unjustifiable taxation yet devised by the wit of man. [More…]
1 should like to say of the Minister for Primary Industry that 1 believe that in Mr Anthony we have a man who is dedicated to his job, a man who is doing his utmost in an attempt to rectify the position of primary industries. [More…]
The Budget contains many things which in the aggregate will be of direct and special benefit to the primary producer. [More…]
But when this man comes out in protest against a Budget of which he disapproves and says, in effect. [More…]
Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression. [More…]
Although Australia is a signatory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the Government does not honour its provisions. [More…]
lt is clear that this man is being prevented from entering Australia purely on political grounds. [More…]
This man is being excluded only for those 2 reasons. [More…]
Surely it is an abuse, a perversity, of the discretions which are allowed to the Government when it refuses entry when a man wants to air political views. [More…]
What is this refusal of entry but a simple denial of freedom of speech, a denial of the right of Australians to hear what this man has to say? [More…]
Oh, but the Leader of the Opposition tries to imply in this chamber and to tell the people of Australia that we have not accepted Gregory because there was a racial situation, because this man was of coloured skin. [More…]
That is a false statement because this man Mr McGraw was refused also and he, 1 am informed, is not of coloured skin. [More…]
He is a white man. [More…]
Because a Labor man participates in that demonstration the Government claims that he is way over to the left. [More…]
He is a well known spokesman for the Labor Party, a man who, from his long experience in the Labor Party, should know what has gone on within it. [More…]
He is Vi lifted as being a man who is committed to disruption and breach of the law. [More…]
The Minister for Immigration has refused to allow a man to come here to talk to Australians because he would disturb the morale of the Australian troops in Vietnam. [More…]
If we start on the basis that man is in a naturally free condition then it is due to the development of his own instincts and his own reason and the necessity of his own association with others that there should be some common bonds which limit his freedom so that others can have the type of freedom which he possesses. [More…]
Against that background the Govern7 ment has received an application from a man who has a record of convictions for offences connected with civil rights marches in the United States. [More…]
He is a man who has written books in which he has preached what is involved in revolution, although he calls himself non-violent. [More…]
He is a man who wants to come here for a Moratorium demonstration which, if it was the size of the one in Melbourne last May, would be completely uncontrollable. [More…]
When we have that situation developing in Australia, I believe that the Government would be remiss in carrying out its duty if it did not take account of it in deciding whether it should or should not allow this man to come to Australia. [More…]
One of the most important rights of human beings is to be able to move freely from country to country. [More…]
I think it would be reasonable to expect that when members of the Government parties and the DLP were supporting a proposition which denied the rights of a particular individual, a citizen of the United States of America, to come in to this country, very cogent arguments would need to be presented as to the character, behaviour, and associations of that man. [More…]
Certainly Mr Meredith, the man who was supported by the Kennedy Administration in integrating the University of Alabama, should not have been admitted to this country. [More…]
Certainly many of the closest associates of the late President Kennedy and former President Johnson and associates of prominent members of the Republican Administration should not have been admitted to this country. [More…]
One knows very well where the Senator Greenwoods and Senator McManuses would have stood had they been in the United States during the time of that great movement of liberation which I suppose reached its peak in the demonstration which took place in the early 1960s outside the White House when the late President Kennedy, Walter Reuther, Martin Luther King, leaders of the trade unions and the churches and people like Dick Gregory demonstrated. [More…]
I would be proud to be associated with a man like Mr Gregory who took part in a demonstration of that nature. [More…]
The 2 men were Mr Gregor)’ and the man who edited his book. [More…]
The matter was not one of the human rights of Mr Dick Gregory to travel around the world and to come to Australia as a sightseer - and that is how he applied and that is what he was, because be was asked to come here by the Reverend Ted Noffs. [More…]
On behalf of the Government, Ministers have suggested that the man has lied because he put ‘sightseeing’ on his application when in fact he was coming here to speak at the Moratorium. [More…]
Instead, what they have done is to blackguard the man, without producing an ounce of proof. [More…]
I think that there are many honourable senators opposite - apart from those who have spoken in the debate - who do not agree with what the Government has done. [More…]
They think that this man should have been allowed to come to Australia and speak so that we could hear what he had to say. [More…]
Is it afraid that this man or some other will come here and speak his mind to citizens who will go freely into some public hall or out into some open area to hear him? [More…]
The person most vitally affected is the ordinary Tasmanian consumer, the family man, who has to bear the brunt of the extra impost not only of increased freight rates but also of increases contained in the Budget. [More…]
Nevertheless, the investigation will widen the field of information available to push Tasmania’s very urgent case to those who understand it best. [More…]
I believe that, apart from those in drought stricken areas, the man who owns his property, who does not have a heavy debt commitment or an interest bill to meet each year, has a chance to survive. [More…]
But in my opinion the man who has to meet an interest bill is in an almost hopeless position. [More…]
1 speak as a man who has been on the land all his life. [More…]
I say without hesitation that if all these costs, whether through mismanagement or industrial anarchy - and that is what it is - keep on going up and up as they have done over the past 12 months or so without a commensurate increase in productivity, to talk about reconstruction of primary industries wiil be just a vain and foolish dream, because it will be positively impossible of accomplishment. [More…]
I ask honourable senators to mark well that it is no longer possible for a man working 40 hours a week to keep his family decently, in comfort and in dignity and to provide for them. [More…]
Those people who seek to do what society demands - to marry and raise a family as early as possible - are at a distinct disadvantage. [More…]
Flat owners seem to object to having as tenants couples who have children, so of necessity a family man who does not own a home must rent a house. [More…]
To rent a house in the suburbs in Brisbane would cost from $25 to $30 a week or more, which lessens the ability of a man with a family to save sufficient to purchase a home. [More…]
I ask the Minister to consider the position of the person who in this community should be the most important - the man with a wife and family. [More…]
The family should be assisted in as many ways as possible. [More…]
It must reconsider the position of a man who reaches 65 years of age and becomes entitled to a miserable pension but whose wife is below the pensionable age and receives nothing. [More…]
A Totally and Permanently Incapacitated pensioner, who is in effect also an invalid, gets $38 a week. [More…]
But it is of little use to the wife and 3 children of an unemployed man to know that the family would be getting more money to meet their needs if the husband was an invalid or a TPI pensioner. [More…]
Such men are not helped by this Budget in which the maximum tax cut of $500 per annum goes to the man with a taxable income of $16,000 a year. [More…]
If the intention of tax deductions is to assist the lower income man with dependants, he would be much better off if deductions were abolished and the extra revenue raised given back either as a form of negative taxation or as drastically increased child endowment. [More…]
I have been bored in this chamber by many a better man than has been bored by me. [More…]
We hear about the man who has nothing to sell but his labour. [More…]
As someone said by way of interjection this afternoon, it has taken many years, for the Labor Party to wake up to the fact that Mr Brian Harradine was right and that he should not have been locked out when he was locked out. [More…]
What happened to the unity of the Labor Party in Tasmania? [More…]
I do not deny the right of an opposition to critise but I do believe it is the right of every public man in this public forum - this national Parliament - to try to add something by way of speeches and representation to improve the lot of the people and to improve the Government. [More…]
That will depend on those who man the committees and the subjects which are given to the committees to inquire into. [More…]
If my memory serves me correctly, a man engaged in the machinery business there said that at this time last year he had 84 employees but this year the number is down to 17. [More…]
The Minister for Education and Science has consulted with the Attorney-General who has advised that the draft of the Regulations for the Scholarships Act 1969 involves the consideration of a number of legal and drafting problems which will require the attention of an experienced drafts man. [More…]
The legislative programme arising from the 1970 Parliamentary sitting has been so heavy that at the moment an experienced draftsman is not available to commence this work. [More…]
On a taxable income of $3,170 such a man paid $5.10 in 1969-70 but for the year 1970-71 after we have passed the legislation relating to the new rates of taxation, he will pay $459.17, a reduction of $50.83. [More…]
Let me take the case of a single man earning $77.80 a week, say $4,046 a year. [More…]
Being single, he obviously would not have as many deductions as would a married man but let us allow him $146 a year for insurance, medical fees and so on. [More…]
1 take another simple example of a man with a taxable income of $5,200 a year, which is $100 a week net. [More…]
I put it to the Senate that a Budget is not to be judged simply by turning over the pages - I actually saw honourable senators doing this on the night the Budget was presented - in order to see, out of human interest, what are the variations in social service benefits or repatriation benefits. [More…]
If a government just says: ‘We will make up our Budget of all the conceivable handouts known to man’, it will not be very long before the country will go to the wall. [More…]
The greatest thing that can be given to the working man - in Australia we are overwhelmingly working people - is security* We have to give the working man security in terms of his employment and we have to give him national security. [More…]
This is a matter that we have mentioned from time to time over many years now. [More…]
If we think back to the time when the Labor Party was in office as the Government in 1949 we recall that a man on the basic wage was paying taxation on only about 50 of his income and with deductions his tax payment almost disappeared. [More…]
Senator Murphy said: _ No attempt is made in the Budget to provide the finance necessary to give our children the opportunity for education to which they are entitled as a basic human right. [More…]
It might have been in a position to give the family man something more than he has been given in this Budget. [More…]
I, and I am sure many more people in Australia, would have been prepared to forgo tax cuts if something realistic had been done in the social services field, particularly with regard to the age pensioner and the family man who has always been the concern of the Party which I am privileged to lead. [More…]
Let us consider the case of a family man who has a wife and 4 children and receives $60 per week. [More…]
Compare the plight of this person with the situation of a man who has a wife and only 1 child and who earns $160 per week. [More…]
But it is the first family man who requires more assistance, the family man with 4 or 5 children who is on a low income. [More…]
If we cannot provide sufficient trained personnel to man the carrier we should consider taking over the British crew. [More…]
Those who are least happy are the pensioners and the family man. [More…]
Those pressure merchants who conducted the tax cut campaign prior to the presentation of the Budget should pause a while to consider whether by their actions they have severely disadvantaged many who are less fortunate than themselves. [More…]
J am glad to hear somebody from the Opposition recognising the difficulties of the man who takes responsibility. [More…]
Surely, if the business is showing a profit it indicates good management, security and continuing stability for this country. [More…]
1 have listened to many honourable senators opposite saying that the family man has not had a fair deal from this Budget. [More…]
To me this statement is extraordinary because in the first place the family man is surely the man who will benefit from the taxation relief. [More…]
He is the man in the lower or middle income group. [More…]
This is a direct benefit to the family man. [More…]
These are all benefits to the family man. [More…]
Again these are benefits to the family man. [More…]
The family man will also benefit by the assistance being given to primary and secondary industries. [More…]
Too few people think of the difficulties faced by the man on the land. [More…]
People tend to forget that the position of the man on the land is greatly influenced by a fall in overseas prices over which he has no control. [More…]
He is affected by tariff protection for secondary industries, which benefits people in the cities but means that the man on the land pays more for his purchases. [More…]
Disadvantages for the man on the land include fewer job opportunities when he is forced to take a job outside his farm, as most must do nowadays. [More…]
The man on the land has Fewer social and recreational opportunities and a lack of access to tertiary education for his children. [More…]
They are only 3 areas in which the man on the land fares worse than a city dweller. [More…]
I hope to goodness that shortly the man in the city will have more sympathy for the man on the land and will support the Government in its efforts to help primary industrialists back on to their feet. [More…]
Over the last few years the demand for Australian wine has been increasing. [More…]
As the demand has increased the sellers have increased their prices. [More…]
That has not checked the demand. [More…]
I do not believe that there will be any significant curtailment in the demand for Australian wine because of the imposition of excise. [More…]
If it appears that the demand is reduced I will be the first to say that relief is needed for the wine industry, because it is a very significant part of the South Australian economy. [More…]
For example, in the invalid pensioner group, is it reasonable that a 16-year-old invalid pensioner would need the same pension as an invalid man with a family? [More…]
Honourable senators will note that that man is not the best scholar in the world but he has put the point of view that exists throughout the State, which is something to which the Government could well have regard. [More…]
I agree wholeheartedly with him in what he said about the Government’s approach to the family man. [More…]
If I may refer to some of the decreases in tax payable by referring only to unmarried taxpayers, a man who earns $3,200 per annum, which is approximately $62 per week, will receive the benefit of a tax reduction of $1 per week. [More…]
As we look further through the scale we find that the man who earns $6,000 per annum, which is $115 per week, benefits by a reduction of $3 in the tax payable and that the man who earns $10,000 per annum, which is approximately $192 per week, benefits by a reduction of $6 per week. [More…]
The concessions mean that a man on $60 a week, which is called the average wage, receives $1 a week. [More…]
An attempt is made to place the blame for it on the man working in industry. [More…]
As I said when I commenced, we are entering an era in the 1970s and beyond when science and technology can solve many of man’s problems. [More…]
When asked how the scheme got started Washington said: The Government is really encouraging the promotion of our co-operative so that the small man can participate in the big land deals now that overseas interests are buying up Australian land.’ [More…]
Mr Washington then proceeded to show my informant the names, addresses and titles of people supposed to be subscribers to the scheme. [More…]
He pointed out that investors included police officers and bank managers. [More…]
I do not accept that the Commonwealth Government has entered into an agreement to waive taxation so that the small man can get something which overseas investors are getting at present. [More…]
According to reports 1 have received, conditions in parts of the west of Queensland, until the last weekend in areas of New South Wales, in parts of South Australia and Western Australia, have reduced virtually to ruin and bankruptcy many people who were considered to be the most substantially established people in the district. [More…]
The confidence and optimism of the man on the land has always been such that he would look forward to the day when the drought would break, when he could start to build up his property again from the remnants of his flocks; but suitable conditions are not offering today for. [More…]
Prices that are obtaining for the commodities which they have to sell and the values of the stock that they would be able to build up after the drought have been reduced by circumstances completely beyond their control to the stage where the future is so bleak that many of them are giving serious consideration to abandoning their properties. [More…]
I support the amendment moved by the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate (Senator Murphy) in condemning this Budget as being a Budget which would appear, on the surface, to be honouring a promise of tax concessions for the lower and middle income groups whereas, in fact, the people who really need the assistance - the family man and the person on the average wage - will be receiving in the vicinity of $1 a week concession. [More…]
But the report does set out many of the issues and man of the relevant considerations. [More…]
Only a period of time on a committee such as this is likely to bring forcefully to the notice of any member of the Senate the abysmal manner in which Australia has approached the problem of sewerage and of sewage treatment. [More…]
Even if this is correct and the assessment is correct that 60 per cent of the sewage is treated in some way, it means that a very large percentage of the total inevitable pollution which rises from a simple bodily function which is inevitable to the very existence of man in this country is not being adequately catered for and is not being adequately compensated for by proper treatment works. [More…]
Man cannot live here without polluting. [More…]
But if they continue to pollute and to add to the pollution which is natural to their simple existence - pollution which is created by all the other activities in which man engages in order to be able to live in the so-called affluent society, al] the industries and all the other effects of the development which has taken place - without taking proper steps and spending a proper percentage of the income, which is the national income produced by all the people within the community, on treating that pollution, they will find themselves without a country to live in because they will have destroyed it. [More…]
Today I got I hour’s notice that a Committee was meeting to elect a chairman. [More…]
The Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson), the man who ought to be taking the full responsibility for this shambles, is not prepared so to do. [More…]
I got 1 hour’s notice that a Committee was electing a chairman. [More…]
1 did not intend to walk out of a commitment on which I had given a solemn promise 2 weeks ago after somebody had come to my office this morning with an hour to spare and had said: ‘We will be meeting to elect a chairman’. [More…]
As my colleague Senator Poyser said, the election of a chairman did not matter anyway because a meeting in the Government party room had it cut and dried. [More…]
A decision had been made as to who the chairman would be. [More…]
If it is the fact - a fact which has escaped my scrutiny - that Mr Justice Smithers was invited to undertake an inquiry 3 days before the actual publication of the statutory rules, that would indicate to me only the eagerness of the Minister to have the earliest judicial determination which a judge could give, strictly in accordance with court process, on whether this man who was lingering in prison for some 11 months was considerd by the judge to be a conscientious objector. [More…]
The Ministers in their statement on this matter said that recent amendments to the national service regulations enabled the Minister to refer to courts cases of conscientious objection to military service where a man liable to render that service had not himself made formal application. [More…]
Therefore, the point of whether a question had arisen as to whether the man is a conscientious objector was not relevant to the process pursued by Mr Justice Smithers. [More…]
For instance, on retirement the requirements of a man who has been a worker all his life probably would not be as great as those of members of Parliament. [More…]
Upon retirement the man who has provided for his latter days receives nothing from the Government. [More…]
The man who gets $40 or $50 a week is denied the pension of $15.50 a week for which he contributed during all of his working life. [More…]
Compare the situation of those people with that of a man with 3 or 4 children whom he had educated and who, because he has contributed to a superannuation scheme at. [More…]
Of course, the basic wage to which Senator Rae referred was based on the needs of a family unit of a man and his wife and their 2 children. [More…]
This meant that those couples who had more than 2 children had to curtail some of their expenditure and live somewhat cheaper than a man who had only his wife and 2 children to support. [More…]
But the family unit with less than 2 children, including the single man, received a higher income and did somewhat better out of the basic wage which was determined from time to time according to cost of Irving figures. [More…]
I refer to a particular case of a man and his wife who were receiving the pension. [More…]
When the application had been lodged the Director-General recognised the man’s entitlement and made a determination granting an additional benefit by way of supplementary assistance as from the date of application. [More…]
The DirectorGeneral had every right to make the payment of the allowance retrospective to the date on which the man became entitled to the allowance. [More…]
The man would fill in the pink monthly return to say that he was not receiving free board and lodging and in this way the DirectorGeneral would become aware of his entitlement. [More…]
In any case, the Director-General was made sufficiently aware of it when the claim was lodged, and he would have been aware then that the man had been entitled to payment from a date 3 weeks earlier. [More…]
The messenger said: ‘I am picking it up as agent for this man.’ [More…]
One man called me over to a dark corner on my own and whispered in my ear: “Yes’. [More…]
I did not object to anyone who came to see me telling this man on the door whom they want to see, but I do not think they should have had to say what they wanted to see me about. [More…]
I had many people coming in there - females come to see me - and 1 did not want them telling these officers. [More…]
Leo Port is known to be a person of great inventive capacity, as indeed many Australians are. [More…]
Dr Russell, who is the man in charge of the British Aircraft Corporation, was in Australia shortly afterwards and was good enough to come and have a talk with me. [More…]
It could well be that a man and his wife are in receipt of the sickness benefit. [More…]
The whole point of my argument is that we are placing too much administrative control in the bands of one man. [More…]
I have been speaking of a man who has been struggling along on the miserable pittance that a pension provides, without the benefit of the small increase by way of supplementary assistance which is granted to certain pensioners. [More…]
The man to whom I have referred reached the stage at which the Government decided he would be a destitute case justifying the payment of a supplementary allowance as he was receiving a single pension only. [More…]
This man deserves it. [More…]
This matter concerns a young man working at a general post office. [More…]
The Government Medical Officer recommended to the Post Office that this man be dismissed. [More…]
But the Government Medical Officer refused to certify that the man was entitled to an invalid pension notwithstanding the fact that in the first instance he had said the man was incapable of continuing his employment with the post office. [More…]
This young man was not a highly skilled technician. [More…]
It is necessarly also for the departmental officers concerned to approach the matter with extreme courtesy, especially when in many cases applications are made by older people who sometimes have lost their confidence and have become timid. [More…]
It is lamentable that when a man took his blind wife to the Department of Social Services in Brisbane to inquire about a pension he was so upset by the treatment he received that he said he would have nothing to do with the Department and refused to accept any assistance. [More…]
A general practitioner said last night that an 80-year-old man died after a stroke because there was no home or hospital to which he could be sent. [More…]
In addition, as science and technology improve and advance - and the Press, the television and the other news media have reported the enormous advances of man conquering his environment and spending countless millions to send rockets into space to explore other parts of the universe - aged people living in a world where such wealth abounds should have a little rub off on them. [More…]
He is a man who has contributed a great deal to the co-operative movement and to many other voluntary organisations and is a loyal and eminent citizen of this community. [More…]
The man who got up in this chamber to defend the position or divert attention from what was said has repudiated the Premier of Queensland. [More…]
It is well known that many members of the Labor Party in this Parliament have been associated with those activities. [More…]
In fact, before I got up on the platform at the rally I was standing next to Father Newman, who was also a speaker at the rally. [More…]
Does Senator Greenwood say that this was an activity for which the Catholic Church or Father Newman should in some way be criticised? [More…]
The Premier of New South Wales asked for a mandate on the issue of law and order. [More…]
The authorities are now starting to say that it should be held against a man and taken into account on sentencing him that he is a known demonstrator. [More…]
The honourable senator did not say this, but this is the kind of thing which he is inducing others to act upon if a man is a known demonstrator. [More…]
Many ex-servicemen are unable to take time off work to have an interview with the repatriation officer. [More…]
Many never hear that the officer is in town. [More…]
Every man should receive some sort of notification which is of a more intimate nature. [More…]
This man was a World War I veteran. [More…]
One would think that the Government would examine this aspect to see whether a repatriation benefit could be granted, whatever the cause of the cancer and whether it involved the payment of a pension to the widow if the ex-serviceman passed on or the granting of a pension of a TPI pension if the ex-serviceman found that his employment had to be terminated as a result of his contracting cancer. [More…]
In the case of this man there is no proof that the cancer was caused by the disease which he contracted while on war service. [More…]
This man is in a hopeless situation: he is in a position where he cannot win. [More…]
However, I have permission to use this man’s name and in this case I think the refusal of compensation or pension is a clear indictment of this Government’s policy. [More…]
This man served over a lengthy period of years in the Royal Australian Navy. [More…]
Apparently he was a man of good conduct. [More…]
There was a time when the appropriate section of the Repatriation Act allowed an ex-serviceman to have the benefit of the doubt, but that provision no longer applies. [More…]
What man who has suffered a major coronary could take employment of that nature? [More…]
I propose now to refer to another case in which 1 have not permission to use the man’s name. [More…]
This case involves a man in Western Australia who receives a 60 per cent general rate pension for a disability and who needs physiotherapy for disabilities from which he suffers. [More…]
This man’s wife wrote to me in these terms: [More…]
When eventually she saw the physiotherapist he told her that a lamp only should have been used for treatment, yet the man’s own repatriation doctor had said that he needed physiotherapy. [More…]
Also present at that time was a man who had come from Northam, which apparently is 60 miles from Perth, only to find that his appointment was not listed and that the repatriation doctor knew nothing about him. [More…]
The Government does nol have human attitudes; its only interest is keeping the expenditure of the Department as low as possible. [More…]
In fact, because of the Government’s altitude, the National Capital Development Commission would have more opportunity of getting money from the Department of the Interior than an exserviceman would have of getting satisfaction in his repatriation problems. [More…]
This case concerns an exserviceman ‘ who is getting on in years and who has suffered from indifferent health. [More…]
This man had served in the Darwin area, which was a theatre of war after a certain period, but because he was in the area outside this period, although he is qualified lo wear a returned from active service badge and is qualified for membership in the Returned Services League, he is now denied the service pension which is paid to burnt out diggers. [More…]
In this legislation the magnificent and beneficent sum of S38 a week is being awarded to the totally and permanently incapacitated war pensioner. [More…]
So, a young man who has been conscripted by this Government to serve in Vietnam, who is gravely wounded and who comes back to Australia, even if he is given a TPI pension, is expected to live for the rest of his life on $38 a week. [More…]
It is the case of a man who has been trying for many years to obtain justice at the hands of the Repatriation Commission. [More…]
I was always under the impression that a man received a benefit - for want of a better term - by way of compensation from the Repatriation Commission for service to this country. [More…]
Now it appears that a man in such a situation, who is either in receipt of a Service pension or an age pension and then subsequently receives a war pension, is to have his Service pension or age pension reduced corespondingly in order to meet the demands of the means test. [More…]
The man involved in the case travelled about 150 miles to appear before a tribunal. [More…]
If tribunal members are not sufficiently interested to remain and consider the evidence then you would think that at least they would be decent enough to wait until the man concerned left the building before going on their private way. [More…]
No-one will ever convince that man that his hearing was fair or the matters he put before the tribunal were considered. [More…]
Quite recently the Minister upheld representations by me relating to an elderly gentleman who died in Warrnambool hospital. [More…]
This has relieved the worry of this poor woman whose husband, a TPI pensioner aged 85 years, had been admitted to hospital. [More…]
That man was advised by the Repatriation [More…]
That letter was sent to this man, aged 85, who had been a TPI pensioner for years and years. [More…]
I told the Caucus that it I were asked by a man who objected to the Vietnam war as to the course he should take I would give this advice: He should register and at the time of doing so give written advice that if he was inducted and ordered to go to Vietnam he would not obey that order. [More…]
I think that if you are going to accuse a man of treachery you should charge him with treason and deal with him. [More…]
In any man’s terms that is an allegation against the Leader of the Opposition of subversion and of treachery. [More…]
If a substantive motion of censure is raised, an attack can be made against a man. [More…]
I told the Caucus that if I were asked by a man who objected to the Vietnam war as to the course he should take 1 would give this advice: He should register and at the time of doing so give written advice that if he was inducted and ordered to go to Vietnam he would not obey that order. [More…]
A giggling and laughing Minister of the Crown; an inane, giggling and laughing man. [More…]
Senator Rae, a young man who recently came into this place, shows complete inability to understand Parliament and resorts to the smear and the slur every time he stands to speak. [More…]
I have not been so disappointed in a young man in the years I have been a senator. [More…]
Then the Minister went on to say that in his view advice so given to a young man amounted to treachery. [More…]
It involves a young man in acting unlawfully. [More…]
That advice is that a young man could join the Citizen Military Forces, which is a perfectly proper course to take. [More…]
The Nuremberg trials established that a man has to respond to his conscience. [More…]
Mr Whitlam went out of his way - further than 1 would have gone - to emphasise that a national serviceman should obey the law in every degree possible until it conflicted with his conscience. [More…]
A man has a responsibility to his own conscience. [More…]
I am more concerned about the people who follow the same profession as the honour able senator than I am about the man who sits on the bench because after the members of the honourable senator’s profession have finished with me as far as expenses are concerned I will not have any money left to pay the fine which is imposed. [More…]
The Leader of the Opposition (Mr Whitlam) never said that a man serving in Vietnam should not obey orders. [More…]
Bondy, the man to whom Senator Mulvihill referred, is a tenant. [More…]
It is as though a man at the end of the year says: i have saved $20 this year, but if I had bought that suit that I intended to buy for $50 I would have been $30 down now’. [More…]
I submit to you, Mr Acting Chairman, and to the Senate that the provisions cannot be justified at all. [More…]
It can enter into a contract for the purchase of the Fill, aircraft - apart from the validity of the aircraft - which on any man’s terms was the most stupid sort of contract that could be entered into. [More…]
However, when I was a young man I was told that one could always justify repeating a good thing but one could never justify repeating something that had no value. [More…]
The Department in recent years had a considerable amount of trouble in maintaining the necessary personnel to keep the lighthouses manned. [More…]
Because of the shortage of staff as a result of the conditions not being good enough, many of them cannot take their leave at a suitable time. [More…]
I know of at least one case in which a man has gone for over 2 years before he has been able to take his annual leave. [More…]
Senator Wriedt, who has extensive maritime experience, has dealt with many aspects of this legislation, but 1, speaking as a land man, lean heavily on the opening sentence in the second reading speech delivered by the Minister for Civil Aviation (Senator Cotton), who represents the Minister for Shipping and Transport (Mr Sinclair) in this place, in which he referred to the fact that it is not very often that Parliament is called upon to deal with lighthouse matters. [More…]
in reply - 1 appreciate the honourable senator’s reference to the fact that man does not live by bread alone because in the interest of losing some weight I shall have to stop living by bread alone fairly soon. [More…]
The honourable senator will have an opportunity to say whether he wants to help to prevent inflation, whether he wants to help the family man who is affected by this kind of impost. [More…]
This can be done in many ways which are familiar to those who are in this field. [More…]
This practice has been common for many years in the oil industry where the oil companies bringing oil to Australia would charge very high prices and the profits would go to the companies which were associated with them. [More…]
Naturally an endeavour would be made to return the profits to those places, and in order to achieve this many devices would be used, including the use of patents, royalties and shipping charges. [More…]
There are many ways of quite legitimately transferring the profits and income to some place where tax is not payable. [More…]
This Bill will fall heavily on the family man and on businesses. [More…]
It is doubly unfair because it falls on the family man directly in what he purchases and indirectly in the goods and services for which he pays. [More…]
If they really intend to protect the family man, as they have often said, I would hope that they would support us in opposing this legislation. [More…]
By doing so they would protect the family man, not only from the direct effect of these taxes but also from the indirect effects in that the cost of goods and services which ordinary citizens have to purchase will not be increased. [More…]
I would find it difficult to understand how any Party which desired to protect the family man could agree to the imposition of this kind of tax, not only in the field I have mentioned but also in respect of all the other items which are affected by increases in sales tax. [More…]
Businesses which are slugged with this kind of tax pass it on in turn to the little man. [More…]
The result is that the little man has to meet the burden of any increase in indirect taxation. [More…]
It professes that it wants to look after the family man and it speaks about what it is doing. [More…]
It is doing so in a direct and indirect manner. [More…]
He stressed by way of some opposition that this was legislation which fell heavily on the family man and on business men, and that it was one of the worst ways of raising revenue. [More…]
As the honourable senator knows, Honest Tom Playford, who has now become somewhat unpopular with the Liberal Party because of his support of the Chowila Dam, was often said to bc a good Labor man. [More…]
He ruled largely as a result of a gerrymander, but he also ruled with the assistance of a well known but now deceased friend of the State, Mick O’Halloran. [More…]
I am surprised at Senator Young bringing up this question because I have noticed in recent years that, whenever Sir Thomas Playford has said anything about national development or the dam in South Australia, members of the Liberal Party have been very keen to undermine him, whereas over many years the Labor Party recognised- [More…]
The sensitivity of demand based on price becomes very important, bearing in mind the difficulties experienced by the industry a few years ago and the inability of the industry at that time to gain any substantial increases in returns to the grower. [More…]
The grape grower in his own right - that is, a man who is not a vigneron - is most concerned about the effects of the new duty on his ability to place his product in the next year or two. [More…]
The Commonwealth and State governments have on many occasions indicated their great support for the decentralisation of industries. [More…]
1 have spoken to many of the small manufacturers in the country towns of Victoria, f have found that their two most serious problems are the post and telegraph charges - the telegraph charges in particular - and the increasing cost of freight to and from their localities, ls it any wonder that quite a number of industries in country areas have decided that their future lies in or close to the metropolitan areas of Sydney and Melbourne. [More…]
(Under the present system of imposing excise charges and sales tax it is the family man with children who pays the most tax. [More…]
However, taking a margin of 40 per cent for the middle man, no honourable senator could arrive at an answer of an increase of 17c a bottle, unless the product is handled by a great number of people. [More…]
I suggest that the wine manufacturers be asked by how much they have increased the price, and how an escalation of 40 per cent in the mark-up has been incurred. [More…]
It will then be found that the wine manufacturers have increased their price by 3c a bottle. [More…]
I am not referring to the growers, but to the wine manufacturers. [More…]
Can anyone blame the poor old working man who likes his glass of beer for suggesting that the champagne drinkers should pay their share? [More…]
The poor old working man who likes his glass of beer has been protected by the Government in that he has to meet no increase this time. [More…]
There are not many ways in which we can raise revenue by taxation, but this is one way. [More…]
Also it means that the man who uses the roads most and therefore uses the most fuel is the man who makes the greatest contribution towards the cost of the roads. [More…]
Do they suggest that we should increase excise in other areas so that the poor old working man, who perhaps does not own a motor car, will make his contribution towards roads that are used by other people? [More…]
Has his attention been drawn to a statement by Professor Zelman Cowen, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Queensland, that it is disturbing to see one man or woman standing in front of 250 students for 53 minutes at a lecture?. [More…]
It proposes to say to all the smaller farmers: ‘You have to get out and give your farm to the big man’. [More…]
If Senator Wright is an honest man he will agree to what is being put: that is that both motions be debated and decided on the next day of sitting. [More…]
The Democratic Labour Party’s proposition was put forward by Senator McManus, who is the only man in the State of Victoria to be recognised by the farmers as being really interested in their problems. [More…]
Senator McManus is the man the farmers trust. [More…]
It would appear to me that the greater are a man’s responsibilities to himself and his family the less he will be assisted by this legislation. [More…]
On the other hand, the other charges that were imposed upon the ordinary man in the community, in the form of increased sales tax, increased customs and excise charges, increased postal charges, increased petrol charges and increased company taxation which, of course, will again be passed on to the consumer, will yield to this Government revenue totalling SI 96m, according to the Budget. [More…]
Quite obviously, there will be very little saving for the ordinary man and woman in the work force of this country. [More…]
A man earning $66 a week and with no dependents will receive a reduction in his tax of $55.89 a year or SI. [More…]
A man on the same income but with a wife and 2 children dependent upon him will receive a reduction of only S39.44 a year or 70c a week. [More…]
A man earning $100 a week and with no dependants will save $111.88 a year or $2.20 a week under the Government’s proposals. [More…]
A man on the same income but with a wife and 2 children dependent upon him will make a saving of only $87.65 a year or $1.60 a week. [More…]
A man on the average weekly earnings - 1 understand that they are now of the order of $75 a week - and with no dependants will make a tax saving of $67.29 a year or $1.30 a week as a result of these proposals. [More…]
A man on the average weekly earnings but with a wife and 2 children dependent upon him will make a saving of only $51.28 a year or $1 a week. [More…]
In contradistinction, as a result of the indirect taxation charges imposed by the Government in the recent Budget, the poorer man will have to pay the same rale as the wealthier man for his postage stamps - postage charges have been increased all round - his packet of cigarettes, his bottle- of wine for the family table at Christmas time, the petrol for his motor car, the additional sales lax charges imposed upon him by this Government and the additional charges that have been thrown immediately upon his shoulders as a result of the indirect taxation imposed on him in the Budget. [More…]
The poorer man, the humble man, has had to face up to heavier medical insurance contributions. [More…]
While this type of taxation is imposed on the ordinary man, irrespective of whether he is a blue collar worker or a white collar worker, all the fringe benefits in the world through taxation deductions are allowed to wealthy businessmen. [More…]
But the small man cannot: get away with a cent. [More…]
Last week I spoke to a young man who is earning about $4,000 a year. [More…]
I do not know for how much longer the ordinary man will be prepared to put up with the inequity imposed upon him by this Government. [More…]
To the extent that companies are able to pass on these charges, the ultimate consumer - the man in the street - will pay the piper. [More…]
The only contribution he has made in this chamber today has been to apply the gag in order to keep pensioners in subjection and to keep the little man in the street out of the money that he ought to be getting. [More…]
We contend that the manner in which the income tax scale has been fixed gives the greatest relief to the income earner, who least needs it. [More…]
In other words, a politician on the base salary will receive considerable benefit but a man with a wife and two or three kiddies in receipt of a wage or salary a little in excess of the basic wage is the one who will get least. [More…]
If the Government wanted to do something to assist the family man it would have had a look at the taxation remissions which are allowed such as the amounts which one may claim for dependants. [More…]
From a revision of the scale and of the allowable deductions for dependants the family man would have received considerable assistance. [More…]
It favours the single man as against the married man. [More…]
I do noi know this gentleman personally. [More…]
If a man is refused citizenship I think he ought: to be told, even if no-one else can have the information. [More…]
He is a man who has lived in this country for many years, was married to a lady who was born in this country and whose children were brought up in this country. [More…]
An average family man and his wife who smoke a packet a day are up for an extra 42c a week. [More…]
The family man who borrows money to purchase a horns costing $12,000 finds that by the time he has paid it off with interest at a flat rate of 8 per cent or more he pays $36,000 for his home. [More…]
I have mentioned the man who has plumbing work done in his bathroom and the man who has to buy parts for his lawn mower. [More…]
If the price of a goblet of wine is increased by 5c, only 2c of which represents excise, the middle man is making a handsome profit. [More…]
By the time many of their products from South Australia reach Sydney and Melbourne a lot of intermediate groups have moved in and profiteered from the Government’s decision to impose excise duty on wine. [More…]
This is one of- many reasons why we oppose this move. [More…]
If we reduce the tax on an income of $10,000 we should take into account whether a man works 35 or 40 hours a week to earn that income. [More…]
I venture to suggest that somebody working on a construction job in New Guinea or in Western Australia - in these frontier atmospheres - expends greater effort for a given income than does a man in a luxury industry or one who works in an air conditioned office. [More…]
1 know a man who shopped around Sydney in an unsuccessful endeavour to get a new nozzle for a shower. [More…]
I deplored also the fact that there was no additional provision for the family man in the form of child endowment. [More…]
As you know, Mr Deputy President, the Party which I am privileged to lead has been a strong advocate for generous payments under the heading of child endowment because we believe the family man is bearing a burden out of proportion to what he should be bearing today because of increased costs of living and because of the relatively poor position that he is in compared with his married fellow worker with no family or the single man. [More…]
I am not contesting the justice of that principle, but a spinster could be working in a job side by side with a married man who has five or six children and they both receive the same income. [More…]
No-one could tell me that there should not be a generous provision for that man for the maintenance of his wife and children. [More…]
Many people always feel that this is unfair to the family man and to people on low incomes. [More…]
In total he pays $58, whereas the man who bought in 1968 pays $162. [More…]
The man who pays $58 under the present system will pay $96 under the’ new system One might suppose that he is relatively fortunately placed alongside the man who bought in 1968 in the instance I indicated. [More…]
Section 5 of the principal Act, which is being amended, relates to the rate of bounty to be paid.I would like the Minister for Air (Senator Drake-Brock man), who represents the Minister for Primary Industry (Mr Anthony), to give the Senate some explanation of the complicated method set out for the determination of the bounty. [More…]
We had a system whereby a man could establish his craft ability by undertaking a trade test conducted by the South Australian Education Department at its technical school. [More…]
A tradesman’s ability was assessed by representatives of the Education Department, an employers’ organisation and the trade unions. [More…]
The Minister has appointed a first class man with long experience, Sir John Crawford, to assist the industry. [More…]
The Australian Apple and Pear Board which is holding its federal conference in Tasmania tomorrow has conducted a thorough inquiry into the industry with representatives of the Department of Primary Industry. [More…]
I think the principle goes a bit deeper in Victoria where ‘once a Labor man’ is obviously not a case of ‘always a Labor man’. [More…]
To take home $69, a married man with 2 children must earn just over $80 and claim family allowances week by week . [More…]
However the man receiving a salary of $16,000 a year had his tax reduced by $9.61 a week. [More…]
The effect of a 35-hour working week, with the same wage rates being paid and with the prospect of wage rates being increased, would have the inevitable consequence of hitting hardest the person who is being squeezed by costs at the moment, and that is the man on the land. [More…]
That is something which, in the parlous condition in which Australia’s primary industries are, no man on the land can cheerfully contemplate. [More…]
If it believes in a 35-hour week it cannot be honest in its protestations that it can do something for the man on the land. [More…]
Despite the films we have seen of a man with the sweat pouring out of him working with a jack hammer in northern Australia, or a welder on a hot job, the honourable senator has the effrontery to tell the Senate that there should not be a reduction in their working hours. [More…]
All the information which has come to me in the past few years seems to indicate that the man-hour production of the labour force in Australia is rising. [More…]
The statistics indicate that the man-hour production has gone up. [More…]
There is a consequent decline in their health and this ought to be a matter of very great concern to any man or woman with a sense of responsibility. [More…]
Our rate of inflation is equal to that of West Germany, as one of the lowest in the world. [More…]
Members of the Opposition have been talking about real incomes and the ability to purchase of the average working man in this country. [More…]
But Senator Greenwood, the ambitious man on the Government benches who hopes to be the President of the Senate, who hopes to be the Leader of the Government in the Senate and who hopes to hold every portfolio in the Senate, has seen fit to provoke the Opposition. [More…]
I understand that the normal duty cook finishes work at 8 a.m. on Monday and returns the next day at 7.50 a.m., but for some reason or other the man whose case 1 have taken up with the Minister had his leave stopped until 1 p.m. My constituent’s husband, a serving member of the Royal Australian Navy, complained to the divisional officer at HMAS ‘Penguin’. [More…]
The woman came to my office and sought my assistance. [More…]
The Minister excused this by saying that in the other 2 weeks a man works 26 hours in 1 week and 42 hours in the other. [More…]
Therefore over 3 weeks the man’s average period of work is 43 i hours a week. [More…]
But I am concerned about the week in which the man is required to work 63 hours. [More…]
After having worked these long hours it is said he is not up to scratch with the performance of his task and he is detained for another 7 hours at the naval establishment. [More…]
The Minister idly brushes off this situation by saying: Yes, true it is that the man is there for 63 hours and that he was detained for another 7 hours making a total of 70 hours in the 1 week, but nontheless the next week he works only 26 hours and in the next week only 42 hours so the average over the 3 weeks is 43i hours.’ [More…]
Frankly I think it is inhuman and callous to expect any man to work such long hours in 1 week. [More…]
The Minister goes on to say that despite the fact that this sailor was on duty for 63 hours and was detained for another 7 hours in the 1 week it is considered probable - I emphasise those words - that :his man would have performed a maximum of 50 hours actually at work. [More…]
1 suggest that having lodged a complaint to his superior officer and having received such a curt answer he would be a real man among men even to contemplate taking his complaint to the commanding officer of the establishment. [More…]
But in this case I think it is fair to say that the average man having been told that he has no hope would adopt the attitude: What is the use of going any further? [More…]
So the man’s wife came to me as a member of this Parliament. [More…]
I make the plea in the hope that those over whom we have some control will, in all decency, assist this man and his family while he is struggling along this road of life. [More…]
He described himself in his book entitled ‘Cry of a Man Running’ as a person who had a criminal history in New Zealand. [More…]
Those are the details of the persecution of a man who was trying to rehabilitate himself. [More…]
My purpose is to deal with the problem that this man had and the assistance he received from the people who were pressing him in his occupation. [More…]
Every man ind woman, irrespective of their , political affiliation, is entitled to expect, and should expect, to receive fair dealing and the opportunity to work and live in dignity.’ [More…]
Even if a man has walked away from a prison background and is working honestly to support his family his right to do this should be protected. [More…]
The scholarship permitted him to write a sequel published as ‘Cry of a Man Running’, lt fully reveals his activity as an employee of the Liberal Country League in South Australia and will be published as such. [More…]
1 make the plea that we should help a man who has been kicked if we can do so. [More…]
point has now been reached where I am forced to leave this Slate permanently to seek work elsewhere. [More…]
The literature that this man has written shows that he has great capability. [More…]
This man is finding it difficult to get a job in South Australia because of the activities of an individual despite the fact that he has good credentials. [More…]
He is definitely the right man to improve our public image. [More…]
I have an admiration for that man and I have done more for him - not in connection with the particular matter referred to this evening but in others - than Senator Cavanagh obviously has ever tried to do. [More…]
In order to prove that this is a perfectly genuine case I shall give a few brief details of this man’s history. [More…]
He is a most likeable man possessing a pleasant personality, intelligence and good power of expression. [More…]
That was signed by his lieutenantcommander. [More…]
So, that was the help that a grateful government and department gave to a man who had given more than 16 years of his life to the service of his country. [More…]
If that is the only feeling of humanity that the honourable senator has, it is symbolic of the Democratic Labor Party. [More…]
Here is a man who has suffered for his country. [More…]
Here is a man who has suffered after 16 years of service in the Navy. [More…]
That is the basically good health record of a man who obviously was admitted to the Navy, served for this lengthy period of time and until 196.1 showed no sign of the onset of the disease that eventually brought about his discharge from the Service. [More…]
I am making an appeal for this man. [More…]
1 am sorry that the statement of this man’s disabilities caused cynical and amusing remarks to be made by probably the most indiscreet of the DLP senators - Senator Little of Victoria. [More…]
It is symbolic that every time the sufferings of people are raised he uses it as a joking tournament instead of adopting a humanitarian approach to those who are less well off than he is. [More…]
I trust that this matter will be investigated again by the appropriate department and that, even after these years, this man will be given the justice to which he is entitled as a former member of the Services and to which he as an Australian is entitled to receive from an Australian government. [More…]
1 demonstrate whatI mean by saying that if a man or a woman is qualified for admission and wishes to practice as a solicitor only, with no intention of ever appearing in court - many people who graduate have that intention and never depart from it - we have a situation in which there is a Law Society whose function it is to represent the whole of the profession within the Australian Capital Territory, and a Bar Association which is representative of only a sectional interest - a small group. [More…]
One can imagine that a person of a very close religious organisation who believes in associations of God and not associations of man does not want a court inquiring into whether he has a conscientious belief. [More…]
When a person attends a court and says that he does not wish to be classified as a conscientious objector within the terms of reference of the National Service Act, how can anybody then properly claim that that man is a person who holds conscientious beliefs that do not allow him to engage in any form of military service and that that opinion should be reached by a magistrate before whom he has made that express disclaimer? [More…]
The position is that section 29a makes it quite clear that the state of a man’s conscientious beliefs may vary from time to time. [More…]
When a man is before a court, the court decides whether he holds those conscientious beliefs. [More…]
A man may be a conscientious objector within the meaning of the law of our country. [More…]
The man has been brought to court. [More…]
Two different decisions can be gained from identical sets of circumstances at 2 different inquiries - one to the effect that a man has a conscientious objection and one to the effect that he has not. [More…]
We want to know when that man can come home and fulfil his obligation to this society in civil fife. [More…]
I am prepared to talk about this matter because in one case we have a situation where a man has approximately 200 acres in the western district of Victoria. [More…]
We hope that much more can be done, not only in the provision of housing finance but in all directions in the housing field by the Federal and State governments to protect the Australian people and particularly the man on the low income who is saving desperately to provide a roof over his family. [More…]
The big scale grower might grow wool for that price, but the wool grower with a small property - the man who is the backbone of the industry - cannot grow wool for that price. [More…]
We have been informed by Senator Drake-Brockman, who in this place represents the Minister for Primary Industry (Mr Anthony), that the proposal for such a body was supported by mass meetings of wool growers throughout Australia, and that the 2 federal wool grower organisations - the Australian Woolgrowers and Graziers Council and the Australian Wool and Meat Producers Federation - resolved to press for such a body, as did the national body of the wool growers, the Australian Wool Industry Conference. [More…]
He has had practically no intimate association with the industry but, as a thinking man in the community, he would have some knowledge of its great value to the economic life of this country and would be conscious also of the fact that today the industry is suffering because of low prices, lack of markets, increased overhead expenses, higher wages and increased cost of materials, equipment and all the things necessary for the successful management of a farming property. [More…]
It will be charged with great responsibility and any honest man will accept his responsibilities. [More…]
Provision has been has been made in the Bill to get the best personnel available in order to make the Commission as effective as humanly and commercially possible. [More…]
Recently it was reported in the Press that 200 or 300 employees had been put off from the various rural machinery manufacturing firms. [More…]
A few years ago woo) growers were told by the inquiry into the industry, chaired by Mr Justice Cook in New South Wales that those who were selling wool at auction were, to use a phrase of the man in the street, putting it over the wool grower. [More…]
There may be some advantage in that but I would want to know about the man who would be selected. [More…]
I have been associated with them for many years and although they have wonderful qualities I think they generally lack experience in this regard. [More…]
I refer now to Sir John Crawford, the man whom the Minister said was of tremendous help to the industry. [More…]
In my opinion a better man could not have been selected to give advice. [More…]
But today the wool grower is living in a so-called affluent society in which he sees the people associated with the mining industry, those operating on the stock exchanges and those in other fields of industry and distribution, including retailing, sharing in the affluence while he is the forgotten man in the community. [More…]
The ordinary man in the street will contribute to that fund. [More…]
The wood chip industry in Tasmania was mentioned earlier by Senator Kennelly. [More…]
Yet, many of the methods that are used in shearing sheds today have obtained there for 100 years. [More…]
Each man is going as fast as he possibly can to keep up with the next man. [More…]
It is impossible for a wool classer who at times must class 1,500 or even more fleeces a day to do his job so that the end product is of such a standard as to satisfy the most sophisticated buyers of fine or medium quality wool on the continental market, including the Italians and the Germans. [More…]
I think that many wool growers throughout Australia believed that the Commission was to be a single wool selling authority. [More…]
A man who works as hard and as long as the ordinary man on the land deserves a much better, fate than he is suffering at the moment. [More…]
In the first place, a member appointed to the Commission would be a man of responsibility and with expertise in a particular field of marketing. [More…]
Therefore, being a man of responsibility, I think he would insist that his deputy be a man of responsibility and 30 October 1970 perhaps a man with expertise in the same field in which he has expertise. [More…]
If a man is going overseas, as Senator Cant said, and he will be absent from 3 meetings he can go to the Minister and say: ‘Look, I will be absent from the next 3 meetings andI want your permission’. [More…]
1 am interested in this particular principle embodied in the clause because, as the Minister for Air (Senator DrakeBrockman) says, it was at the instance of the Senate in consideration of another Bill that this principle was written into that particular Bill. [More…]
The reason, if 1 remember it, that was given on that occasion was precisely the reason the Minister has announced on this occasion that it would be impossible to determine the salary while a man was being selected for the job and until, perhaps by negotiation, that salary was able to be actually determined and acceptable, it was impossible to fix a salary. [More…]
I am not objecting to the right of the Minister to sack the man - perhaps ‘dismiss’ would be a nicer word, but in my time the word was sacked’. [More…]
The conditions to remove a member of the Commission from office as outlined in clause 14 are quite different from the conditions to remove a Chairman from office which are outlined in clause 16 (1.). [More…]
The Minister proposes to appoint a Deputy Chairman to whom these conditions shall not apply. [More…]
If he is a man to whom the conditions outlined in clause 16 (1.) [More…]
(b) or (d) could apply the Minister cannot remove him from office because these conditions do not apply to the Deputy Chairman. [More…]
Could such an allowance be placed on a simitar basis to the depreciation allowed to a business man on his office furniture and appliances. [More…]
What work has been done in conjunction with the States to eliminate hydatids as a health threat to both man and beast. [More…]
Probably he is the most knowledgable man in this Parliament on the subject of wheat. [More…]
I think the Division has shown little knowledge of the area concerned by ruling out Nelson as a place where an exserviceman may build a home that attracts a war service loan, because all indications are that this area will be a very thriving tourist area in the near future. [More…]
The man who made the application is a permanent officer of a State department and it looks as though he will be a permanent resident in this area for years to come. [More…]
He lives in the area and looks like living there for many years to come because of his employment. [More…]
Yet this man who has served his country is to be denied a war service home because he happens to live in an area that today is classified as a remote area of the State. [More…]
They have been able clearly to establish by receipts, and by accurate estimates of the electrical work that the young man did himself - he is employed by an electrical contractor and is qualified to do electrical work - that they qualified for the grant. [More…]
This means in fact that if any man of European descent applies for an assisted passage, irrespective of whether he has the qualifications or not, he is refused if he has married a person of non-European descent. [More…]
I know that if this young man could not obtain a job with his brother other people in this country would be prepared to employ him with his qualifications. [More…]
So far as 1 am concerned this man has been excluded from this country on a purely racial basis. [More…]
This bears out the facts given in a reply to Senator Poyser as a result of his questions about another white person who married a non-white person and now the Government is applying this bar to him because he happened to live and marry a woman who was non-white. [More…]
I shall not give the name of the man involved because the Department of Immigration is handling the case in another State. [More…]
Other countries judge us rightly if we make a decision on such a case that the man cannot come for no other reason than that be happens to be married to a person of a different race and that he has children who are of mixed race. [More…]
It illustrates the Government’s fear of one man, his wife who is of a different race and his children who are of mixed race, ls it not true that in 30. [More…]
The bar has been imposed for no other reason than that this man married an Indian girl and there are 3 children of the marriage. [More…]
He is a man who has a better basic education than two-thirds of Australians have. [More…]
Do not statistics disclose that there was a rapid increase in Australia’s development and an increase in Australia’s prosperity and in manufacturers and farmers’ profits following the introduction of the 40-hour week in Australia? [More…]
Did not production in terms of man hours worked increase after the introduction of the 40-hour week? [More…]
Maybe the process of producing the military man has not been sufficiently adjusted to lake account of the sorts of developments 1 have mentioned. [More…]
The question I ask is; Why is this young man selected out of a number of people in South Australia to serve this penalty in a gaol in South Australia? [More…]
As to the tests which are applied by the Minister when he chooses to refer a case to a magistrate for decision on whether the person is a conscientious objector or not - that is to say whether he has a conscientious belief that he should not serve in any kind of military service - the Minister has a whole file before him with a summation from his officers from which it may appear that the man has simply adopted the wrong form or that he has inadequately stated his application for exemption on the grounds of conscientious belief, or it may be that by reason of circumstance it appears a reasonable inference to the Minister that there is a prima facie case for consideration by the magistrate. [More…]
In all such cases the Minister’s one criterion is to ensure, if there is upon the evidence before him any reasonable case for consideration of whether the party has a conscientious objection, that he should refer it to the magistrate to give that man the opportunity to claim, if he wishes, and to support by evidence, that he holds that conscientious belief. [More…]
It has failed to impress me as an Act with any justice in it when it is possible for Administration officers in New Guinea to expel or exile a man from a town or prevent a man from entering a town. [More…]
Their leader was a trouble man [More…]
This law gives the administration more power over every man and woman. [More…]
The Administration and the police can name a man who they think is causing the trouble. [More…]
The Law says that a ‘trouble maker’ is a man who talks and writes about things that will make trouble among the people. [More…]
If a man is named as a trouble maker, then he must promise in court to stop making trouble. [More…]
The law will have many powers over a man who has who has been named as a ‘trouble maker’. [More…]
Suppose the secretary of a branch of the Pangu Pali in New Guinea was a Papuan man. [More…]
If he was an outspoken man who was trying to stir his branch members up to be more interested in politics and Pangu Pali and tryingto get more members for the Pati the police might not like this man. [More…]
They could name this man as a trouble maker’. [More…]
Then the court could send the man back to Papua to his own village and make him give up his job as a branch secretary. [More…]
I recall that after the Senate rose last year a report was released of an inquiry into the Port Hedland disaster when a commercial plane went down, T think with the loss of some 37 lives, lt was clear from the Department’s inquiry that the accident was man caused due to the reaming of a hole which occurred during renovations to the plane. [More…]
Those were very strong words from a man who I, would imagine has probably done as much work on nuclear energy as an engineer and knows as much about it as anybody in the world today. [More…]
This embraces the question of siting of nuclear plants, their safety, standards of design, construction and operation and the training and efficiency of the maintenance and operating staff who would man them. [More…]
It also involves the control of plants and the manufacture of nuclear fuel elements and other plants for chemical processing which use reactor fuel. [More…]
This Committee includes the chairman of the electricity authorities in the States and other senior State officers. [More…]
The position is quite simple in that the station will be so designed, constructed and operated that there will be no release of radioactive material harmful to man, or to plant, animal or marine life. [More…]
The essential requirement in such cases is that the man shall have raised the question envisaged in the legislation as to whether he is entitled to exemption from military service or from combatant military duties.It is for the court to determine the nature of the beliefs which the man holds and the depth and sincerity with which he holds them. [More…]
The Department can force a man to leave his job. [More…]
It is difficult to see how a man can keep his wife and, perhaps six children on $10.00 a week. [More…]
It would seem also that the period has confirmed the emergence of an ‘elite’ group who might be described as ‘professional’ and/or Pseudo’ Aborigines, many of whom advocate particular doctrines but who have either become isolated from tha main stream of Aboriginal people or have, in fact, never been in close contact or consultation with the wider segment of Aboriginal Queenslanders who consider themselves truly Aborigines. [More…]
1 leave the Senate to judge the statements by this man who is responsible for the control of the many large Aboriginal reserves in Queensland. [More…]
This man considers all or most activities on behalf of people from the south as subversive activities. [More…]
I believe that the failure of the Queensland Government - or its inability - to become aware immediately of the discriminatory measures in the Act is due to the attitudes - the old reactionary attitudes - of the man in Queensland who is responsible for the Administration of the Act. [More…]
The reason why there is no problem is that as soon as Aboriginals get near the town they are hunted away and they go back to the bush or to Normanton or to Kurumba or wherever they came from originally. [More…]
On a recent tour of this area 1 encounted a pure blood Aboriginal, a fine old man, who had had his social service benefits taken away from him. [More…]
When I talked to him he said that he had not had an adequate diet for several weeks, and he was a man of about 80 years of age. [More…]
But how many of these people are told to leave the reserve, and wander off into the bush? [More…]
But thousands of Aboriginal people require just the basic wage in order to keep their families in some sort of dignity and to live like human beings. [More…]
Law and order is the only sort of language that the managers or supervisors of these reserves know. [More…]
so that the man in question served a total of 70-odd days in gaol. [More…]
The ordinances and the regulations under the Quensland Act allow the manager of a reserve virtually uncontrolled powers of discipline. [More…]
J am very glad to hear that the man is receiving his pension. [More…]
The Government has already made many more Aboriginals aware of their rights. [More…]
It seems that people who are spending many years of their lives studying or obtaining degrees - up to the age of 25 years or 26 years - are finding it extremely hard to obtain worthwhile occupations to suit the talents and the educational standards that they have attained through their hard work. [More…]
T think a lot of them go there to find a husband and that the mother says over morning coffee; ‘My daughter is a first year arts student and what is more she has met a very charming young man. [More…]
He is a man of long and experienced service who knows industry and technology well. [More…]
As honourable senators will remember, after he left the Public Service he recently posed in a series of articles the question whether we should have such demands for sophisticated weaponry produced overseas when, within our own shores, we have organisations which could produce perhaps less complex machines of war, devices of war and aircraft but which we are not engaging to the extent we might. [More…]
I do not wish to be provocative especially in reply, having regard to the fact that I am closing the debate, but I ask honourable senators to hearken to this statement: When I state the minimum salary of a lecturer to be $6,318, I believe that an abled bodied seaman graduating after an apprenticeship and1 year’s employment receives $6,400 per annum on a basis that he is on a ship for something like 30 to 32 weeks out of 52’. [More…]
I just say that in the mildest and most unprovocative manner because all honourable senators when considering this Bill ought to remind themselves of the real essentialities of this life. [More…]
A man who puts a long period of his life into an apprenticeship qualifying himself to teach as a lecturer in a university will receive a salary, as recommended by Mr Justice Eggleston - this Bill is a recognition and the Commonwealth supports that recommendation - of $6,318 per year. [More…]
He brought with him to the Senate a wealth of human understanding. [More…]
He was a simple, forthright and direct man who was dedicated to furthering the ideals he held to be true, and dedicated to his convictions in relation to his Party. [More…]
Jim Ormonde was a practising Christian, not only in the sense of being deeply involved with his church, but also in his dealings with his’ fellow human beings. [More…]
Jim Ormonde possessed a very human streak. [More…]
I believe that such traits in a man are very important and 1 think it was because of them that Jim had so many friends not only in this Senate but throughout the Parliament. [More…]
He was a good Labor man. [More…]
As Senator Willesee has already pointed out, Jim Ormonde contested the State electorate of Waverley, but it has not been mentioned that prior to that, as a very young man, he also contested the blue ribbon conservative seat of Wentworth as Labor’s representative. [More…]
Tt can be truly said that he was a man of very high principle. [More…]
He was a good man in every respect. [More…]
You, Mr President, and many other distinguished members of this Parliament attended the church service which was held in his honour. [More…]
As Senator Turnbull said, the late Jim Ormonde was a great lover of humanity. [More…]
He was a tolerant and understanding man. [More…]
As to the rise in pensions and the provision of fringe benefits over the years 1 do not need to repeat what the Minister and many of us have said on many occasions in this Senate. [More…]
Who will pay for many of the things he has asked for? [More…]
The main payers will be the family man who has great needs himself and the young person who will probably pay into the taxation pool for 50 years before he qualifies for any of these benefits. [More…]
I am sorry for the young person, the married man and the family man. [More…]
This is the basis on which the minimum wace is fixed - the requirements of a man, his wile and his growing family. [More…]
I know of a young man employed by an insurance company in Tamworth who was sacked because he was held up one night and decided to slay and help his parents. [More…]
An attempt will be made to lift the injured man off the glacier by helicopter. [More…]
It is the right of every man on earth and every society to have freedom. [More…]
Many nations are providing loans and other forms of credit for Indonesia. [More…]
I would like to know how many nations today which have granted independence to countries formerly under their control have informed them, as Mr Whitlam has informed New Guinea, that once those countries become independent their bills will be paid for them. [More…]
Last week I spoke to a man with some knowledge of the affairs of New Guinea. [More…]
My informant told me that the Australian Government has relinquished any right Co say how that money shall be spent. [More…]
How many senators would be prepared to say that as costs rise and more money is wanted we will underwrite such a system, and that we will provide the money without any say as to how it will be spent? [More…]
I have moved about Tasmania and parts of the Commonwealth on committee work since that decision was handed down and from talking to business people, housewives and others who have been hurt by inflation I have got the idea that the people of Australia feel that the across the board increase of 6 per cent was the great spur to inflation. [More…]
Surely wage increases are designed to help meet the increased cost of living and this could best have been done by granting to the blue collar worker, the white collar worker, the professional man and the academic a flat increase of $X a week. [More…]
We members of the Opposition believe that it is now incumbent upon the Senate to commence to form and establish these other committees gradually, as suggested by the Senate by resolution, and in a man ner that will increase the number of committees sitting. [More…]
The ALP faced a very embarrassing situation in Queensland because it broadcast over 4KQ at prime broadcasting time, to the disgust of our supporters, Australian Democratic Labor Party propaganda to this effect: ‘Put Vince Gair back, the man you can trust.’ [More…]
In relationto Station 4BH, this Station was commenced by a man named Chandler, one of the founders of the Liberal Party in Queensland and a former Lord Mayor of Brisbane for twelve years. [More…]
Manager Palm Island Reserve has again refused brief visit to Palm Island to Vincent Starlight. [More…]
This man has been refused access to his children foi 3 years and now in grave danger of becoming dangerous psychiatric case. [More…]
Vincent Starlight, the gentleman to whom I referred earlier, is a former resident of the Palm Island reserve. [More…]
No white man would tolerate this kind of treatment. [More…]
The management says that she does not want to see him - obviously at the behest of the Director. [More…]
Vincent Starlight is now a broken man urgently in need of medical and psychological treatment. [More…]
A paternalistic government treats black people as animals, locking them up at will, deciding where they shall live, refusing them the opportunity of employment, and then, in those cases where subsistence is granted, making available a weekly wage less than half the wage for which a white man would work. [More…]
I ask the Minister-in-Charge of Aboriginal Affairs to make urgent representations and, if necessary, drastic intervention to save the lives of human beings, lt does not matter what the colour of one’s skin is - whether it is black or white - one should not be discriminated against. [More…]
Tt is pathetic to see the actions of this man from lime to time. [More…]
Mr Holmes’ physical condition appeared excellent, in fact no worse than that of a man who had broken his leg in difficult surroundings, and his morale was very high. [More…]
It distresses me when I see even members of the Labor Party - particularly those who are interested in the law and who should be the upholders of the civil rights of the people - introducing for the first time legislation under which a man can be charged before a court and the only notification that it is necessary to give him is one via the post - to notify him by posting a letter to him. [More…]
Therefore, a man can be liable to 6 months gaol and can be on a charge and be deemed to be innocent until found guilty, and his only notification that the charge against him will be heard, say, in the Central Police Court tomorrow is something that was dispatched through the post. [More…]
If there has been legal degeneration in other States, noone has made the check that I am making at this time and people have complacently allowed the matter to drift to the point where today a posted summons is sufficient to bring a man before a court and charge him. [More…]
There is nothing in the Bill stating that there is a stay if a man says: T claim that I was not served with the summons.’ [More…]
That man may be sent to Long Bay and he may then get hold of lawyers and be able to set aside the conviction. [More…]
Should an innocent man be subjected to having a conviction recorded against him? [More…]
That man would be gaoled without having any knowledge that a trial had taken place. [More…]
Senator Murphy then said - I agree somewhat with him - that a man might be a consistent offender and eventually the magistrate gets tired of Citizen X coming back for the fourth or fifth time and he sends the offender to gaol. [More…]
I doubt whether the prosecution would prosecute a man for the second time without having enforced the fine for the first offence. [More…]
After a period there would be a lapse when no-one sought to search him out and then, after a period, there might be within the Department a general, regular cleaning up of outstanding matters, at which time it would be recognised that this man had not paid his fine, lt might be 18 months or 2 years after the actual conviction before steps were taken to locate him. [More…]
That is so; but the man applies and he satisfies the court that the procedures which were envisaged- [More…]
The man has not had the opportunity to be heard. [More…]
With this easy method of serving summonses, many more people will be convicted. [More…]
Many of them will fall into this category. [More…]
That argument could be applied to a multitude of instances, lt has to be presumed that in these circumstances a man who goes to a court will be telling the truth. [More…]
But the world has changed since Senator Gair was a young man. [More…]
On and from tomorrow, Friday 26th February 1971, the Parliament will lose by retirement the services of the man who for the past 12 years has held the very important position of foreman gardener on the staff of the Joint House Department. [More…]
Any honourable senator who has spoken with the foreman gardener, Mr Arthur Smith, will know that he is an Englishman, and those familiar with the dialects of that country will rightly place him as a westcountryman. [More…]
Upon the retirement in 1958 of the previous occupant, Mr Smith was selected for the position of foreman gardener and had held this position continuously to this day. [More…]
Mr Smith himself is a quietly spoken man of excellent personal qualities, who has brought to his work a devotion that will make his retirement a real loss to the Parliament. [More…]
I am sure the Senate would want me to wish Arthur Smith many years in which to spend the retirementwhich his excellent service to the Parliament has undoubtedly earned him. [More…]
With the proposal that we shall have 8 members on our 2 standing committees we have reached the point where it is very difficult adequately to man them because of senators’ commitments with other committees. [More…]
Those articles were written by Geoffrey Chandler, who was the husband of the woman found dead on the occasion that 1 have mentioned. [More…]
When honourable senators hear the questions of which this man says he knows the answers are in the affirmative they will appreciate the seriousness of the accusations. [More…]
I f what I am submitting can be established as bona fide there is no mystery about Bogle’s death, and many members of the New South Wales police force know that. [More…]
He said that this man, who speaks in a guttural voice, over a period of 6 months has told him many things and that he has heard the complete story, with the exception of a few loose ends. [More…]
would a description of the Australian resemble the description, given in evidence at the subsequent inquest, of a man seen running from Lane Cove. [More…]
A visit to the library will give a description of the man seen running from the scene of the incident. [More…]
She would have told the individual had the man she normally deals with at Government House been on duty, but he was not there. [More…]
The man who shot Arthur Calwell was found to be a mental defective and,I think was gaoled or locked away. [More…]
Mrs Dalton’s information was that the man apprehended was a cover-up for the exit of a person who intended to enter Parliament House by the unguarded back kitchen door and to leave Parliament House by the front door, depositing explosives as he went through. [More…]
The man she named as having that intention was arrested the previous day in Sydney as a mental defective and locked away. [More…]
It was discovered afterwards that the man had received the invitation from a senior member of the Citizen Military Forces in Canberra. [More…]
Take the case of a man aged between 20 and 30 years. [More…]
I am sure that Senator Davidson and others will agree with me when J say that far too many Australians moralise on this matter. [More…]
It must be very difficult for a man in the profession in which Senator Turnbull was to communicate with a woman from a European country who has never been required to mingle outside her own family circle after migrating here. [More…]
But very often the woman is isolated in her own family circle. [More…]
If that is the case - we can expect it to be the case - it would be a retrograde and undesirable step to limit the performance of that function to 2 estimates committees sitting at the one time. [More…]
If we hope to man another 5 committees and have them function adequately and properly it will be necessary to speed up our work somewhere. [More…]
No departmental head wants to second a man from his own department to a committee when that man will be used to produce, perhaps, an analysis and report that condemn the departmental head. [More…]
So, the manning of committees is of paramount importance to the committees themselves. [More…]
I am concerned about the motion now before the House because it seeks to make many alterations to what’ this Senate decided previously should be the basis of operation of the committee system. [More…]
For example, it seeks to reduce the number of members of committees because, as the Leader of the Government ‘in the Senate (Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson) has said, the Government parties are finding difficulty in obtaining the required numbers to man the committees. [More…]
However, the Senate must not fall into ihe habit of referring everything to standing committees simply because they are there or because the Senate cannot refer a matter to a select committee as there are insufficient honourable senators to man such a select committee. [More…]
If the records are looked at as to our performance last year honourable senators will find that there were broken times instead of continuous times and this led to an increase in expenditure in the attendance of officers, a good deal of disruption in the tempers of officers and a good deal of disruption in the interests of honourable senators. [More…]
Any honourable senator who pretends to understand the figures without the most persevering inquiry is a better man than I. [More…]
The test of a man is whether he can put past events behind him. [More…]
Senator O’Byrne is a man who once had it tough. [More…]
He is putting the boot into another man who has had it tough. [More…]
It presupposes that the leader of a government is the man who is responsible for policy. [More…]
A huge sector of our manufacturing interests is in the hands of the comparatively small man and he is the one who at all times is short of capital to do the things that are necessary to enable him to grow and to compete in both the local and the overseas markets. [More…]
In May 1963 1 and a party of parliamentarians travelled with Frank McGuren - a truly honourable and dedicated man - to talk with officers of the Macleay River County Council, the Tweed Shire Council and the Richmond River County Council about the effects of floods in that area. [More…]
Damage costing untold millions of dollars has been caused through disasters such as the fires in Tasmania in 1967. [More…]
He detailed in many of his speeches in this Parliament how great had been the devastation of floods since 1931. [More…]
I spent part of my life as a young man in the flood plain country of Cooper’s Creek and I understand what is meant when people talk about a river 1.6 miles wide. [More…]
Did the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation assist an Australian citizen and a central European diplomat to leave Australia within 24 hours of the discovery of the bodies of the late Dr Bogle and Mrs Chandler at Lane Cove, New South Wales, on New Year’s Day 1963; if so, would a description of this man resemble the description, given in evidence at the subsequent inquest, of a man seen running from Lane Cove. [More…]
Was this man arrested and charged. [More…]
Had this man also been invited to Canberra by Citizen Military Forces Army ‘Officers. [More…]
The Great Barrier Reef is perhaps the most complex eco-system known to man and many experts considered that it would have been irresponsible for generalised action to be taken before knowing the likely consequences of such action upon the chain of life which comprises the Reef as we know it. [More…]
It was brought hometothe Committee many limes during the enquiry that air pollution is but one small part of man’s contamination of his environment. [More…]
Pollution of the water resources of the world, pollution of the soil and, in this mechanised world of ours, pollution of the environment by the noise of man’s activities are all parts of the same problem. [More…]
In short, the emphasis is on the fact that that inquiry revealed that air pollution is but one small part of man’s contamination of his environment. [More…]
We swam there, but he would be a very courageous man who would even put his foot in the Parramatta River at this stage. [More…]
If a man fell out of a boat he would want to get out of the water as quickly as he could and then wash himself because the river is polluted. [More…]
The authorities in London for instance, who face difficulties many times greater than our own, have been able to accomplish much towards solving the problem there. [More…]
No matter how man tries to prevent accidents of this nature, nevertheless he is in the hands of the elements when flash floods occur such as the one on this occasion. [More…]
As a legal man, Senator Byrne would be in the same position. [More…]
It has been made on the basis that on any man’s view the law should not be as it is and ought to be corrected. [More…]
If it is intended that we have a law reform commission, the fact that the man who is appointed to it happens to be a judge should not cause concern on the aspect of the judicial work. [More…]
They were able to do the job manually on blocks of 14 acres, 17 acres or 20 acres. [More…]
Now, with mechanisation and the demands of the individual for a higher standard of living, those small areas are entirely insufficient for a man to earn an adequate income over a period of years. [More…]
Whilst one of the lower ranking officers has been found guilty, as today’s ‘Australian’ reports the defence counsel for Calley as saying, this man was following his teachers’ instructions - kill, kill, kill. [More…]
When a young man is faced with the alternative of refusing to be conscripted and spending 2 years in a civilian gaol within Australia, or perhaps reacting to the situation by committing an act which would justify a charge carrying the penalty of death or life imprisonment, is it not much more preferable and much more desirable from the point of view of the 1 April 1971 young man and his parents, for himto say that he will serve the 2 years gaol, which will be less than that with the remissions that the State grants, rather than find himself in the position in which a young American lieutenant now finds himself? [More…]
The first tells of a man who started with a firm at the age of 20 years on $1,000 a year and retired 45 years later on a salary of $8,169 a year. [More…]
The survey, based on real cases, showed that if the same man had spent 45 years at the same rate of pay for another company with a different superannuation scheme, he would have had a superannuation cheque for $37,000 because it was a better scheme than that of the first company. [More…]
It is clear that such schemes vary with their management, and it is equally clear that it is time for a closer legislative consideration of this important area of social welfare. [More…]
There were many reasons why the increase was granted, but 1 claim that the urgency motion for which 1 was responsible, and which’ was carried in the Senate wilh the support of Labor Party senators, was the main influence on the Government, particularly as it was based on the fact that on 15th December or the,eaabouts- 2 months previously - when I gave notice of my motion the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission had granted, a day or two before, a 6 per cent overall increase in wages and salaries. [More…]
A man reaches the age of 65 years and, because of the system operating in his place of employment, he is required to pack up and get out. [More…]
There are many couples with an age disparity of 7 or 8 years. [More…]
At that age a woman is not able to obtain employment. [More…]
1 am not a low salary labour man. [More…]
1 ask the Labor Party straight out to state whether it disagrees with me when I say that the present social service benefits - remembering those who come within the scope of benefits because of the merged means test and remembering what are known as fringe benefits but what I would call extra benefits - are sufficiently generous to enable many of our pensioners to live a comfortable way of life. [More…]
( am man of Ihe world enough to know that in Australia, as in any other country, there are people who, through misfortune and through their own fault, will suffer a state of near poverty, whatever their income is. [More…]
I suppose one can understand the feelings of the former Prime Minister as he looked over his shoulder and saw 32 people wilh a knife ready to put between his political shoulder blades and the thirtythird man with 2 knives. [More…]
This was the honourable member for Herbert, the man who was not available to vote for John Gorton when he was defeated. [More…]
That is the man. [More…]
Every man and every woman who served in the 2nd World War, and those who served subsequently, were reassured by the knowledge that in the event of incapacity or death arising out of their service they, or their dependants, will be properly compensated and cared for. [More…]
This is an undertaking which the community must honour to the full, in spite of the pressure of opinions originating frequently from those who in many cases were loo young to appreciate the circumstances of total war . [More…]
Is only one man now in jail for refusing to be conscripted despite this wide-spread defiance of the Act. [More…]
When it comes to my Department’s notice that a man does not appear to have registered or has not registered at the proper time the matter is investigated to ensure that national service obligations are not being avoided. [More…]
In many instances the man is not required to register; he is in the Permanent Forces or has arrived in Australia after the registration date of his age-group. [More…]
When a man is called for medical examination to determine his fitness for Army service, he is asked to advise the Registrar before the due date if for any reason be will be unable to attend so that another date can be arranged. [More…]
Otherwise no man is called up while any doubt exists regarding his eligibility for exemption orhis fitness for service. [More…]
But in 1961 this was done by statute by a notional adjustment in this way: If a Commonwealth employee retired on 20 units of superannuation and the salary for the job on which he was engaged when he retired was subsequently raised, and the unit entitlement attached to that position went to 50 units, then notionally a man who was already out of the Public Service but who had held that position would receive his superannuation on the 50- unit basis. [More…]
Firstly, the man who has met his responsibilities to his fellow growers and the industry has no worry whatsoever. [More…]
I could not find that provision in the Constitution but, as I said, 1 am not a legal man and I presume it is there. [More…]
About 2 miles from where I live in Glen Iris, a Melbourne suburb, lives a young man who served as a national serviceman in Vietnam. [More…]
Senator Cavanagh asks us whether it is not preferable and desirable from the point of view of a young man and his parents for him to say that he will nol .serve in the Army; that he will serve 2 years in gaol.- With remissions granted by the State the period of imprisonment would be shorter than 2 years. [More…]
imprisonment is not preferable to a young man’s finding himself .in the position in. [More…]
which an American lieutenant now finds himself, ls the honourable senator not suggesting that it is preferable for a young man to say that he is a conscientious objector than to take the risk of defending his country in a foreign land? [More…]
I am prepared to concede, Mr President, that there ore many honest, genuine, sincere and decent conscientious objectors but I am not prepared to accept the proposition that every man who says he will nol serve is motivated exclusively by the highest principles. [More…]
In Sir Robert’s words it was equivalent to Great Britain’s failing to get one man off two Dunkirks. [More…]
I also ask the Minister: Why wait until the man on the land is finished financially before making long term finance available to farmers and graziers? [More…]
Mr Moriarty has some commendation from St Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney where, at the time of his university studies, he was Secretary of the Newman Society. [More…]
So it can be seen that Mr Moriarty is not a man to be ignored. [More…]
1 cite authority which has been cited in this place in other contexts on many occasions, but it is authority which has brought its work substantially up to date. [More…]
This document is one of the many reference papers which have been published on the subject of poverty in Australia. [More…]
A line was drawn arbitrarily at a level equal to $33 a week for a family of a man and his wife and 2 children - this was in 1969 - and anything below that line constituted poverty and anything less than 20 per cent above it constituted marginal poverty. [More…]
The Institute, in that report, assumed that a standard family consisting of a man, his wife, a son aged from 6 to 14 years and a daughter aged under 5 years, with an income equal to the basic wage together with child endowment, was likely to be in poverty. [More…]
1 abhor this type of nonsense, although I have respect for the man who moved the motion as 1 served with him in the period prior to 1955 and 1 know of his support for proposals we have put forward in this chamber in recent weeks, particularly the proposal to investigate the problems of physically and mentally handicapped people, especially children, in Australia. [More…]
Let me remind him that the man most affected by the increases - the man on the basic wage, whose wife does not .work, and who has 3 or 4 children - does not pay any tax. [More…]
The main fighting that helped General Eisenhower to become such a great man was done in eastern Europe. [More…]
Many of the people of England, which was really involved in the European war, do not know of the sacrifices that were made on the land by human beings to defeat Fascism in Europe. [More…]
He was hailed as the great scion of the Establishment, the man who won the war for the West, and he became President of the United States. [More…]
That was typical of this front man. [More…]
We should not hang on to the old stupid idea that the white man is superior, that the empire and the colonial system have any place in the world. [More…]
We are human beings and the brotherhood of man will exercise its power. [More…]
Owners of industries have to rely on the working man for their profits. [More…]
As for being ‘blasphemous’ in identifying man’s weak and erring human nature with Christ, that is just what we are told to do by Christ himself: [More…]
‘And he said to all: If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. [More…]
For he that shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him the Son of man shall be ashamed when he shall come in his majesty and that of his Father and of the holy angels.’ [More…]
St Paul, a man as we all are, leaves us in no doubt that we should identify our souls with Christ, our Redeemer. [More…]
For a notable example of a Christian man who could not practise the use of sword or bayonet or do any violence to his fellow men, we have Ronald Knox. [More…]
He translated the Bible and was chaplain to the Roman Catholic students at Oxford University where I met him, a fine figure of a man, a most popular Christian. [More…]
Civil defense is absolutely impossible without complete and enthusiastic cooperation, not merely of governments, not merely of men, but of every man, woman and child in the United States. [More…]
The security of the United States is not just the business of the Secretary of Defense and the Congress and the President and the Secretaries of the services, it’s the business of every man, woman and child and, if it is their business, then it is the business of all of us. [More…]
At the outset let me say that 1 cannot help digressing for a moment because last evening I was very attracted by the statements of Senator O’Byrne who said that we had entered -into a period of the brotherhood of man, that colonialism was dead and so on. [More…]
One would not expect it to be very long ago because he is quite a young man. [More…]
Has the Minister representing the Minister for the Interior been informed of the disgraceful incident which occurred in Melbourne when the War Memorial was desecrated on Anzac eve by hoodlums- masquerading as pacifists who, in the name of peace, bashed a security man insensible? [More…]
If it is not established that they hold such beliefs, including, for example, in cases where the man referred does not attend at the court as notified, their liability for military service in the normal way is unaltered. [More…]
In the former, the man who was the subject of the reference attended at the court and was represented by counsel. [More…]
This completed, the way was clear for the court to examine the nature of the man’s beliefs but at this stage, on consulting with his client, counsel for the man indicated to the court that he declined to have his conscientious beliefs examined in the normal way. [More…]
In the Western Australian case, the man who was referred to the court was represented,as permitted under the Regulations, by an agent who read a prepared statement to the court. [More…]
The statement was tendered as an exhibit and the magistrate issued an order that the man was not a conscientious objector. [More…]
High land prices are delaying home ownership for many people. [More…]
They are a major burden for persons on middle incomes and the family man and they- limit the number of houses which need to be built. [More…]
How can any rational man defend and seek a return to such injustice? [More…]
I think he supported the wrong man for Prime Minister. [More…]
Senator Wright went on further to quote a distinguished member of the Labor Party, the right honourable Lord Shawcross, Q.C., a man who was Attorney-General of the United Kingdom under Mr Attlee and the British prosecutor at the Nuremburg trials. [More…]

It should not be beyond the wit of man to . [More…]
When the apology was tendered I told the young man that in the circumstances I would make no official complaint. [More…]
In the usual manner they held a meeting with the adult organisers associated with this kind of thing and prepared their plan of operations. [More…]
We have just heard from the second mountebank of the Senate, the man who went to Townsville to save the north of Queensland for the [More…]
When I believe schools get rid of presidents who do not know how to tame the animals they breed and when they are replaced as they must be by retired brigadier generals, when beasts no longer roam the university campuses but are locked in cages, then and not till then will any sane man accept an invitation from that type of university.. [More…]
When I believe schools get rid of presidents who do not know how to tame the animals they breed and when they are replacedas they must be by retired brigadier generals, when beasts no longer roam the university campuses but are locked in cages, then and not till then will any sane man accept an invitation fromthat type of university. [More…]
I have no doubt that this Government would be prepared to do that in particular circumstances, and in particular cases.- The former Attorney-General, the man of the famed cross cricket bat and squash racquet, in an address to- the third Young Liberal Convention said: [More…]
At present there is a special branch of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation working with cloak and dagger secrecy and no man’s life is private, no home is private and no telephone is private. [More…]
The right to strike has been a fundamental right of the working man throughout history, wherever there has been an industrial system. [More…]
To take away from the working people of Australia a fundamental right or birthright - namely, the right to give or to withhold one’s labour, which distinguishes the free man from the slave - is asking for demonstrations. [More…]
I suggest that he take the advice of a legal man on his side of the chamber on this question, rather than give an interpretation which could be shot to pieces. [More…]
I know that Senator Hendrickson is the type of man who supports that kind of thing. [More…]
I understand that this afternoon Mr Cope, the General Manager of the Northern Victoria Fruitgrowers Association, will be meeting the Prime Minister. [More…]
I remind the honourable senator that Mr Cope is the man who made the suggestion earlier in the year that $250,000 should be made available to the industry. [More…]
The honourable senator has suggested that the Government could can more of the crop, but that seems to me to be an extremely shortsighted policy because next year we would be mct with a double quantity of canned fruit and there would not be any demand for the incoming crop. [More…]
Why should officers of the Department have to attend so many of these conferences? [More…]
I have only looked through one document and I have S more to read, in my opinion it is scandalous that so many officers have to go abroad. [More…]
A medical man or a bio-chemist would be required to assist in determining whether some of these trips are justifiable. [More…]
I asked that question a month ago and I do not know how many are away now. [More…]
The allowances which are paid to a single man on a visit such as this are quite generous, but in the United States for a married couple the allowance is quite hopeless. [More…]
The clause is drawn in such a manner that it places a lot of onus on the police. [More…]
Even Senator Byrne, another man of legal attainments of a high order, would not agree- [More…]
If the basic philosophy is accepted that a law considered as bad should be broken by the person who holds that view, we have no law; we have no law on public order; no law on property; no law on the rights of man; no law against rape; no law to protect women and children and the weak in our community and no law even against murder itself. [More…]
As much as I disagree, with those laws-and I take every opportunity to express my personal antipathy towards racism in any shape or form- I say that any man who will run in front of a young girl who is unprotected in a- strange country which she is visiting for the purpose of playing in a competitive sport, and any man who would adopt a threatening attitude to such a girl and say to her that she was not to play because her government has a policy with which he disagrees, is not a man; he is a mongrel. [More…]
I am certain that if they had desecrated or destroyed property at the Albert Park Lake Reserve in’ which the honourable senator has a particular interest or had destroyed government property as students destroyed government property at the Monash University, the : honourable senator - knowing him over a lifetime and his respect for law and order- would have been one of the first persons, as a man responsible for. [More…]
Knowing that about the honourable senator I accept with a lot of reservation many of the other remarks he made about this Bill. [More…]
But instead of seeing evidence around us that we are approaching a phase in the development of mankind when we can do that, almost with bitter disappointment in our hearts arid certainly with great concern we are forced to strengthen and make more stringent the laws regarding public order and the protection of persons, particularly the weak and the womenfolk in our community. [More…]
should be a legal, man - but if I were . [More…]
I do not say that the pensioners were man handled, but double standards were applied. [More…]
I believe that the Senate can be quite pleased that we have with us a man who is able to apply himself with such thoughtfulness to the examination of a measure on his first essay into the hurlyburly of parliamentary life. [More…]
I am certain that we will be the richer by having a man of his calibre among us. [More…]
The whole principle of Christian ethics is to try to elevate the dignity of mankind. [More…]
Not only internally but also internationally the exploitation of man by man goes on. [More…]
When people enter the hurley burley of adult life they expect to be able to carry with them many of the things they learned in school. [More…]
They find great contradictions existing in many of the things that they were taught. [More…]
It breaks down the human spirit and degrades and dehumanises man. [More…]
The anti-war protesters and the anti-conscription protesters are those groups of youths which have woken up to many of the things about which I have spoken. [More…]
One-upmanship comes into it because one nation can prove how much superior it is to another. [More…]
Nations direct their resources towards being the first to land a man on the moon or the first to erect a space platform. [More…]
I believe that it is reducing the field of human rights, including freedom of speech, freedom of association and all those other freedoms without which man can never reach his estate. [More…]
Despite the anachronistic attitudes of some governments, the unfortunate Ryan, who was hanged in 1967, could well be the last man in Australia’s history to die on the gallows. [More…]
The other ground, it seems to me, is that a man or a woman may prefer death to life imprisonment, which some people regard as being more cruel than execution. [More…]
Norway abolished it in 1905; Denmark in 1930; many States in the United States of America have abolished capital punishment or have greatly restricted its application. [More…]
Any country with progressive and humane views is tending to the view that capital punishment should not continue within its borders. [More…]
Dostoyevsky wrote that if in the last moment before being executed a man, however brave, were given the alternative of spending the rest of his days on a rock pile with only enough space to sit, he would choose it with relief. [More…]
At first the judges regarded it as perverse when a jury would find a man guilty, for example, of stealing 100 gold sovereigns to the value of 39s; but after a while the judges as well as the juries came to realise that the full rigours of the law could not be supported and the sentiment of the juries as expressed consistently in their verdicts was accepted by the legislature. [More…]
With the present definition of insanity there is every possibility that a condemned man may be insane. [More…]
There was the Victorian case where the authorities seemed to be almost determined to hang a man. [More…]
The resolution also noted that there was an overall tendency in the world towards fewer executions and set out a number of steps to achieve what it called the further promotion of the dignity of man. [More…]
Here was a very successful business man in the form of Mr Alexander Barton who had become a very wealthy person in Sydney knowing full well that there was no money in third level airline operations and commuter services. [More…]
His efforts offset the influence of Mr Bjelke-Petersen - that extraordinary man who is Premier of Queensland - which was being exerted to have appointed to the royal commission a geologist who was closely associated with Mr Bjelke-Petersen’s oil interests. [More…]
Any reasonable man would place himself in an invidious position if he were to accept the last report, especially when that report is so contradictory in its conclusions. [More…]
Despite the many comforting conclusions arrived at by the six-man committee- compared with the other committee ( described - comprising one human geneticist, one accountant, one geologist, one chemist and two zoologists, its final recommendation was that over $100,000 a year be spent on further research ‘as knowledge of reef ecology is inadequate to permit a complete assessment of present and future problems concerning the crown of thorns’. [More…]
Man himself may intrude. [More…]
Let us follow the example of the man who had a vested interest in attracting tourists to Green Island. [More…]
1 give notice to the Senate that in the coming recess I, with many other conservationists in Queensland and throughout Australia - conservationists who fought to prevent drilling on the Great Barrier Reef - will launch a campaign to set up a fund to protect the Great Barrier Reef against the menace of the crown of thorns. [More…]
We will endeavour to involve the Torres Strait Islanders, many of whom are skilled divers and fishermen but who are idle at the present time. [More…]
That sounds like the type of young man whom Senator O’Byrne regards as the ideal type. [More…]
Even the right of a man to rejoin his own family was denied by action of the Queensland Government. [More…]
That is what Mr Justice Black said, whom Senator Wheeldon called in aid for his own purposes by extracting one small section of his speech and leaving aside the pith of what a very great man said. [More…]
There has to be a policy and there has to be a man who makes the decisions, and that man is the Minister. [More…]
I wonder what attitude Senator McManus would have adopted had permission not been granted. [More…]
The Irish Pipe Band led the march, and after the band came the open motor car in which Dr Mannix and other church dignitaries travelled. [More…]
One of them was Senator McManus. [More…]
Many of the marchers roared with laughter when they were told of the scuffle and the burning of the Union Jack. [More…]
I wonder whether it could be possible that Senator McManus, the great anti-Labor and law and order man today, also roared with laughter when the Union Jack was burned. [More…]
It is part of the standard of the ordinary man which the courts apply, and I think it is a fair thing to leave it to the courts to decide whether in any particular circumstance the obstruction is unreasonable. [More…]
I am concerned that the common man should know his rights. [More…]
The position is that a man who happens to be in the vicinity of a certain place or a certain person at a certain time - and without any of the ideal policeman of fantasyland about which Senator Rae seems to know - could find himself in court and subjected to the task of proving that he was there innocently. [More…]
The man in the other place will decide whether or not there is political advantage in prosecution. [More…]
I refer the Senate to a man whom he doubtless regards as a potent authority, a man to whose authority he would defer, perhaps, and that is Dr J. F. Cairns. [More…]
If I may, Mr Temporary Chairman, I will revert to the issue which is before the Senate, which is the question of whether the povisions contained in sub-clauses (4.) [More…]
That, of course, may be tested against the standards of the ordinary man and that, as I have said already, is the standard which the court applies. [More…]
There is a long-standing provision that a man cannot be placed, as it were, in double jeopardy. [More…]
That is a gross interference with his daily life even if in the event he finally manages to get acquitted. [More…]
I suggest that the onus which is cast on a man who may be quite innocently and fortuitously caught up in a demonstration, as provided by clause 21, is an unreasonable imposition on citizens. [More…]
The man may be perfectly innocent of this, but we see evidentiary provisions being brought in constructively to do to him something different from what was the actuality. [More…]
This man then proceeded to Cairns for a few days holiday. [More…]
This man returned to the office of the local Federal member at 6 p.m. on 3rd July. [More…]
respect of nonBritish nationals ordinarily resident in this country, you were eligible, up until you were 21, to leave Australia rather man render national service if you wished. [More…]
I should add that the National Service Act does make, provision for discharge of a national serviceman once enlisted if the Military Board is satisfied that he will be enlisted in the Australian Permanent Forces or the naval, military or air forces of’ the British dominions or other countries as . [More…]
I saw various references to Mr Crocker’s views on this subject published in many newspapers at the weekend. [More…]
AH I wish to say is that that man’s views are entitled to consideration, because of his experience and standing, along with the advice of other diplomatic advisers available to the Government. [More…]
As I travel Victoria I see some of the problems that I associate - as a man of my age would associate them - with the economic depression 1930 and 1931. [More…]
I am advised that 7 of the 12 men on the committee, including 1 man from South Australia who is a director of a meat company, are stud breeders. [More…]
It is up to each State organisation to see that it gets the representation it wants on the federal body by appointing a man who is purely a commercial breeder or a man who breeds some pigs and runs a commercial herd. [More…]
I. have been informed that the universities’ representative will be a man who has a research background. [More…]
So for the whole of his life a man could be liable to be prosecuted for what is regarded by the law as a minor infringement in the sense that it attracts only a monetary penalty and not even a term of imprisonment. [More…]
I believe that any man is worthy of his hire, but when the cost of his hire becomes astronomical I cannot but wonder where it will stop. [More…]
We have a situation in which a man - highly paid, admittedly - is in charge of an asset worth about $23m which we would expect to earn, on the load utilisation hours given here, between Si 8m and $20m a year. [More…]
It seems to me that an analogy could be drawn between the functions as outlined in the Bill of the Assistant Ministers and a football team - I will not go into the merits of a particular code of football - that is on the attack and has many opportunities to score a try or kick a goal but it does not do so because too many players are in the movement and there is too much finessing. [More…]
I hope I do not upset the decorum of the Senate by saying that I remember reading that on one memorable occasion when the creation of a massive bureau in Washington was being discussed, Harry Truman, the President of the United States of America, who was a very earthy man, listened to what was said for a while and then said: ‘That agency will be about as much use as the male nipple’. [More…]
Senator Bull is a man who has brought the typical rural virtues to this chamber. [More…]
He has been unassuming and modest about his achievements and patient and forbearing in his capacity as Chairman of Committees. [More…]
I am sure that he has found deep satisfaction in his role as Chairman of the Standing Committee on Primary and Secondary Industry and Trade. [More…]
His membership of the Select Committee on the Container Method of Handling Cargoes in 1967 provided another outlet for a man with his extensive interest in rural industry. [More…]
I am satisfied that whatever errors there might have been - we have all committed errors - I and my colleagues, and I think the whole chamber, take him to be a man of unimpeachable integrity. [More…]
Senator Hendrickson is a man who throughout his life has been active in Australian Labor Party affairs. [More…]
Bert, for all his gregarious manner and jovial good humour, has always held unswervingly to his strong views inside the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
He was one of the first members of this chamber to open up the implications for Australia of Britain’s proposed entry into the European Common Market back in the days when a great many Australians had little idea of what it represented. [More…]
This chamber holds many memories for him. [More…]
But above all, he has been a solid Labor man, certain and sure. [More…]
Pat has always been a simple, egalitarian man, despite his involvement in great matters within the Party. [More…]
He is a quiet man with a tremendous background in the Australian Labor Party and in this chamber. [More…]
Senator Branson is another honourable senator from the land who brought into this place the patience and wisdom of the country man. [More…]
I think his humanity came out very strongly last week when he spoke about the report presented by the Senate Select Committee on Drug Trafficking and Drug Abuse. [More…]
It showed that he was a man who understood not only his colleagues in this chamber but the problems of the rest of the community, especially those in the younger generation who are much misunderstood because their elders and those outside their sphere do not take the trouble to understand them. [More…]
He has contributed to fair debate in this chamber, sometimes quite strongly - sometimes a little over strong - but all the time he was shown, as he did the other day, that he desires to understand his fellow man and fellow woman. [More…]
I hope that they will enjoy many more years of each other’s company after such a life- long connection. [More…]
He has been a man of moderate views and he has induced moderation in others. [More…]
He is a man of great intellectual ability. [More…]
He is a man who goes out of here with a monument. [More…]
He received many rebuffs year after year, but finally the persistence of Senator Dittmer was rewarded and the Commonwealth established such a centre, small though it may be, in the State of Queensland. [More…]
In the early days of the Australian Workers Union in Tasmania, Bert was a full-time organiser until he fell into difficulties in that Union, which has been characterised by certain disputations over the years. [More…]
Later he became State Secretary of the Tasmanian Branch of the Australian Labor Party, in which position he served the Party tirelessly for many years. [More…]
He was a dedicated man at a time when salaries for Party officials were not what they are today. [More…]
Sir Alister McMullin, who has already been mentioned, is one man to whom this chamber is deeply indebted for the way in which he has conducted the affairs of the Senate and the distinction and honour he has given to the Presidency. [More…]
Their performance is all the more creditable in the light of them being women in an establishment which is occupied predominantly by men. [More…]
Finally, I pay a tribute to Senator Tom Bull, one of our Country Party stalwarts, and a man of whom we have been very proud both for his performance in this Senate and for the way in which he has fought outside for the Country Party. [More…]
If I could have those 2 gentlemen advising me on some of the things I have to do I would indeed be a very grateful man. [More…]
I wish all pf you - not only those who are leaving the Senate but also those who are staying here - the greatest asset a man can have, that is, health. [More…]
I believe that no parliamentarian is able to do his or her work properly without the support of either a good woman or a good man and I have been extremely fortunate in that I, like Senator Kennelly, have had the devoted support of my spouse during my years in the Parliament. [More…]
Meat- Is any edible part of any cattle, sheep, pig, rabbit, goat or bird other than game which is ordinarily used as food by man whether fresh, chilled or frozen. [More…]
In August last year, in dealing with the 1970-71 Budget, I pointed out that the Budget represented social injustice perpetrated by an unfeeling Government against those already economically handicapped - the wage earners, the family man, the pensioner. [More…]
The Bill had been prepared privately and at considerable time and effort despite the refusal of the then AttorneyGeneral, Mr Snedden, to provide the assistance of the Parliamnetary Draftsman. [More…]
Yet leave was denied to me in my humble efforts to do something for the family man under the heading of child endowment. [More…]
That Party had a day’s notice of the DLP move and surely it was concerned for the welfare of the family man. [More…]
At that stage the DLP was represented only by myself and Senator McManus. [More…]
Somebody may be quite erudite in some complex technical field but his command of English and his ability to express himself is so poor that although his research and his knowledge of the subject may be adequate, what he writes is almost incomprehensible. [More…]
Science technology has now reached the stage where it is impossible to have what was once the Renaissance man, the man who was an authority on the arts, history and the humanities and science and technology simultaneously. [More…]
We do not want to have one group of people who move in the field of liberal arts and the humanities and another moving in the field of science. [More…]
Although a man is an economist he may have some knowledge of history, philosophy, law and politics but not have the slightest idea of how an internal combustion engine works, let alone how one sends a cosmonaut into space, and vice versa. [More…]
It would seem to me that one of the weaknesses of the institutes of technology quite frequently is that there is an undue emphasis on the purely technical education without at the same time there being provision for a broader and more general education in the humanities. [More…]
In the same way it may be said that in many universities within the humanities and within faculties of arts totally insufficient attention is being given to important aspects of science and technology of which any reasonably educated person should have at least some general knowledge. [More…]
But we do live in an integrated community where no man is an island and each is dependent upon his fellow man. [More…]
Then there are complaints because in our integrated society he finds himself living at a much lower level than the level he aspires to and certainly at a much lower level than a more practical person who accepts his primary responsibility to fit in with the scheme of requirements, not only of his own desires, but also of the desires and needs of his fellow man. [More…]
I know that it is necessary for each of us to earn his or her living, but if we make the dollar, as some of the remarks to which we listened might imply, the sole criterion of our pattern in life, we will miss a lot of the beauty of life because man does not live bv bread alone. [More…]
I am using this as an example of what happens as a result of the State Government not being able to move into the housing field, as many governments wish to do. [More…]
This man clearly realises that if this does not happen and if land prices are not controlled in some manner the whole position will become chaotic within 2 or 3 years. [More…]
We feel that just as man does not live by bread alone urban problems wil not be solved solely by dealing with the question of housing. [More…]
Man’s scientific skills ensure that he has enough to eat. [More…]
The great human problem is how to keep production in line with demand and how to cope with the depressing effect of this surplus production on prices and incomes. [More…]
The West Europeans, for instance, with their peasant farming in the midst of modern manufacturing industry, can afford to give lavish subsidies and provide huge tariff barriers to protect their farmers from foreign competition. [More…]
In some areas a man can divert readily but in others this is not so easy. [More…]
I believe that if many institutions who have lent money believe that by extending the period of repayment they will ultimately be paid they will be willing to do this, particularly if the Commonweath, as it can do, picks up some part of the load. [More…]
For instance, a man who knows jolly well he is not going to get 7 per cent might have the prospect of 5 per cent, and he will accept 5 per cent. [More…]
We have derived other revenues from current expenses but with regard to probate we have what is virtually a deferred capital gains tax lodged under appalling circumstances at the time of a man’s death, which can, as it was in the case to which I referred, be an intolerable burden upon those involved. [More…]
With an ageing farm population we will have many cases of these sorts of things happening, where we have people with a large obligation with regard to probate. [More…]
There are many other sound paragraphs in the Schedule. [More…]
I think this is the height of stupidity and short-sightedness because if a man needs an interest holiday to get him a start it is unfair and impracticable that he should be in effect loaded with an increased rate for the next period to make up for the capitalisation of his interest. [More…]
Who pays for all those things for the man on the land? [More…]
I want to repeat that it is my belief that in Tasmania more than half the primary producers are receiving even less than the basic wage. [More…]
No matter how many properties one amalgamates; no matter how much bigger one makes a property, no matter what footing one places a property on, rf this inflationary spiral continues as it has there will not be many properties in Australia that are economically viable. [More…]
Yes, but that is not all due to the profit of the middle man. [More…]
The farmer has been precluded from bettering his position because immediately the price of fat lambs rises, immediately there is a scarcity of canning peas and they rise in price, immediately beans rise in price, those products come in from across the Tasman, from New Zealand. [More…]
Yet we use the word ‘rehabilitation’ in connection with this man. [More…]
One man, because he is skilled, will make a profit and the other man will make a loss. [More…]
If a man on a property being successfully reconstructed was killed in a car accident or in some other way we could have the possibility of rural reconstruction money being taxed by the death duty people. [More…]
We must make sure that this scheme does not base its assistance on the position of the man right at the bottom of the ladder, because there are growers who would have left the industry in any case and growers who did go out of the industry even during times of reasonable affluence. [More…]
There are some growers who for many reasons will never be effective and efficient managers of their own properties. [More…]
Another important reason why the administration should be close to the problem is managerial ability. [More…]
Some farmers may not be good managers. [More…]
Another farmer may be an excellent manager, needing only a little more land to make his business viable. [More…]
He is the man who must be helped. [More…]
If the administration is close enough it will know the effective and efficient managers and can help them. [More…]
If the administration is handled from Canberra many of these personalities would not be known, so it is essential that the scheme be administered by the States. [More…]
The man in the country has very great difficulties to face. [More…]
For instance, to take one aspect of family life today, the man in the country who wants to give his children a reasonable education comparable with that which is available to people in the urban areas has a problem. [More…]
I suppose that in many cases they go away from the property; which is a natural enough thing to do. [More…]
The man on the land receives taxation deductions and benefits of that kind, but they do not compensate. [More…]
I think that when we make a cold and abstract financial approach to the affairs of the land we overlook the fact that many people in the Australian community still love farming. [More…]
The psychologists say that the man who gets his hands into the soil is doing himself good; that it is good, for the soul and good for the person. [More…]
But perhaps for the first time - certainly for the first time to my knowledge - every sector of the Australian community acknowledges the difficulties which face the man on the land. [More…]
Does any honourable senator believe that we are able to lend more money to a man who has $2,000 per annum to cover servicing of debts and living expenses, charge him an interest rate and expect him to continue to operate viably? [More…]
Nobody in this chamber, in fact nobody in the community, would say that a man earning less than $2,000 to. [More…]
There are very many reasons - other than money reasons - why a man or a family wish to maintain himself or themselves on the land. [More…]
This means that very many of the small shopkeepers are finding it impossible to carry on. [More…]
It is not only the man actually on the farm but also the man who supplies the farmer with his daily requirements who is feeling the pinch. [More…]
I conclude by saying that the rural producer in all his shapes, sizes and forms - the large man, the middle man and the small man - has an important and a continuing role to play in Australia’s economic existence. [More…]
I believe that the $100m to be distributed, through the machinery which the Government has devised, while not being the panacea for all the primary producer’s ills, should go a long way towards making viable - if I may use that word which Senator Webster used - so many rural enterprises which otherwise might have failed. [More…]
I think all of us in this chamber realise that the man on the land is part of the backbone of this country and that the smaller farmer, the man who perhaps finds it most difficult to stay on the land, must be kept there should he desire to stay. [More…]
Marco Polo was a most distinguished scientist and explorer who lived many centuries ago. [More…]
He was a man held in very high repute in his own country. [More…]
There are many variables including weather patterns, disease, markets and so on. [More…]
A man is largely powerless alone in the face of such conditions. [More…]
The sugar industry has been most successful in terms of actually agreed upon interna) organisation but even that industry must contend with hitherto unmanageable world supply and demand. [More…]
It was opposed to the last man by the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
For these reasons it is most important that every means be seized upon to try to relieve the position of the man on the land in his interests and in the national interest. [More…]
The present position is that a man has a property which appears to be a wealthy property on paper. [More…]
Senator Byrne told us that when this man dies and estate duty is imposed on his estate, his family has to sell the property at the market value, not at the potential value, in order to pay the duty. [More…]
The moment it became obvious that such a move would benefit not only the small businessman and the small farmer but also the wealthy man they were all for it. [More…]
If there is to be an alleviation we on this side would insist that it be given to those people who are suffering, such as the widows to whom Senator Dame Ivy Wedgwood referred, the person with a large family, the woman who is widowed by the untimely death of a young man who has not paid off his house and that type of person. [More…]
My reference is to the Sydney Daily Mirror’ of 13th and 14th luly of last year which reviewed the case of an unknown man who was found at Somerton sands in South Australia on 1st December 1948. [More…]
This man was buried unknown. [More…]
Of course, we have the additional key to the code in the words ‘Tamam Shud’ which were found on a piece of paper in the pocket of this dead man in Adelaide. [More…]
I know that the Treasurer is an honourable man. [More…]
All I say, as a simple man, is that, looking at it, my belief is that it is in breach of section 96 of the Constitution. [More…]
The family man who is the most valuable asset that this community has and those young couples who are setting themselves to rear 3, 4 or 5 children will be the people paying the greatest amounts as a result of turnover tax because this tax will reflect in everything that is purchased by these people for the purposes of rearing their children. [More…]
It has no place in the philosophies of people who are fair minded and who at least believe than an opportunity should be given to a man to rear his family in a decent way without being taxed beyond his capacity to pay by insidious hidden forms of taxation. [More…]
I refer for instance to taxes that are paid every time a man’s children drink milk or eat biscuits. [More…]
In every other taxation law we concede to a man the right to buy goods at a price which it is necessary for him to pay in order to provide an income for the people who produce the goods. [More…]
A government should not impose an unnecessary tax on a man who is doing the right thing with his life and the right thing in the interests of the nation. [More…]
As we are dealing with the Trade Practices Bill, one could readily ask why a man of Senator Murphy’s stature or perhaps even a man of the Minister’s stature is not advocating that there should be some restriction on some practices associated with the legal profession. [More…]
I know that this Bill does not apply to services, but if we in the Senate are to criticise various practices that we see in relation to manufacture and resale, I think it would be a very good thing if Senator Murphy - I prompted him once or twice - attempted to give some examples of where he sees the public interest being disadvantaged in the Australian community. [More…]
In regard to the exemption of certain types of goods, I particularly refer to goods which are not the products of manual operation but goods in the artistic and intellectual field. [More…]
Books which are produced have a most inexact market demand. [More…]
These goods cannot be produced en masse; they are by their nature the product of one man’s or one woman’s ability or genius. [More…]
They have a limited circulation and a limited demand. [More…]
In many instances the vulnerability of small business lies in the comparative lack of financial reserves. [More…]
When competition is abolished through the build-up of organisations, in the process the independent small man is lost and the activities of commerce are placed in the hands of a few. [More…]
But I believe that we are doing many things which provide the conditions and backgrounds most conducive to more and more take overs by big business, until finally we will reach the stage where business will be in the hands of only a few and so will become an interest of government. [More…]
He stated that he had a number of complaints from constituents in Tasmania about a trustee who had been described to him as being temperamentally unsuited to carry out this function. [More…]
He named Hans Jacques de Jong as a trustee under the Bankruptcy Act and then he proceeded to allege that Mr de Jong was a man unattractive personal qualities. [More…]
Indeed, the statement of Senator O’Byrne, in the light of what that investigation reveals, constitutes a grave and unjust defamation made under Parliamentary privilege of a man who was unaware of the charges being made and unable to defend himself. [More…]
He had been in practice in Tasmania as an accountant since 1956. [More…]
I understand that at present he is engaged in more bankruptcy administrations than any other trustee in Tasmania. [More…]
The first case referred to by Senator O’Byrne concerned a young man and his family who had been engaged in a business and it was stated by Senator O’Byrne that receipts were about $26,500, that assets were about $23,000, that the family was still deeply in debt and that the trustee’s remuneration was $1,369. [More…]
He stated that the trustee still held the young man’s coin collection and that although it was worth $500 it was valued at $9.75. [More…]
Senator O’Byrne said that the man’s widow came to see him and gave him examples of tyranny, and distress he had suffered. [More…]
He said -the man had taken his life by hanging -himself. [More…]
The additional material discloses, not the case of a man tempermentally unsuited for a position because of a selective presentation of facts of a case, but of a trustee performing with difficulty and in the face of frustration an obligation cast upon him by law. [More…]
A man’s reputation has been irreparably harmed. [More…]
Senator O’Byrne should recognise the injury he has done to a man who has been publicly condemned for conduct of which he is not guilty. [More…]
The newspapers in Tasmania gave extensive publicity to Senator O’Byrne’s statement. [More…]
I cannot believe that a man of your abilities and training could only earn $51 per week net. [More…]
I want to illustrate to the Senate the reasons for the type of report I made to the Senate about this man’s conduct. [More…]
People from all over Tasmania have complained to me about the personal attitude of this man. [More…]
He is a very intelligent man who works within the strict letter of the law. [More…]
This man follows very closely every point in the law so that he may make a report to the Minister. [More…]
I make this claim: The trustee, Mr de long, in many cases given to me, has proved his arrogance, and his highhandedness, his lack of suitable temperament and bearing - all these things which are so important in public relations when the Government is dealing with an individual. [More…]
Indeed, I would like to tell the Minister that I am in the process of finding every person who has suffered under this man’s peculiar personal attitude towards these people, who have described him as taking a delight in exercising his authority and have referred to his lack of understanding, tolerance and Christian charity. [More…]
I know that when I spoke to the Registrar in Hobart this man had not put in a statement for about 6 months, although under the Act he was supposed to do so within a shorter time. [More…]
We had come up against a complete brick wall in this man acting according to the strict letter of the law and with no humanity. [More…]
I assure the Minister that I now propose to see as many people as I can, compile a list of the complaints against this man and come back to the Senate and inform it of what manner of man this is who is dealing with Commonwealth business. [More…]
Therefore, the humanities, which are also part of the total education structure, must receive their fair share of attention. [More…]
As the capacity of man rises to greater mental and academic heights, so we need to have not only the capacity to live with it but also the opportunity to use it and to develop it fully. [More…]
In New South Wales, Tasmania and more recently in my own State of South Australia there has been a great and new appreciation of the needs for workmen’s compensation. [More…]
The rate for a single man is $43 a week. [More…]
Yet- the Commonwealth compensation payment for a man, wife and child is only $43.50 a week. [More…]
The situation then is that under the Commonwealth Act the family unit - a man, wife and child - receives only 50c more than the rate prescribed in South Australia for a single man. [More…]
The situation in South Australia can be met only when the Government adopts what is now the International Labour Organisation’s standard, that is, that a man should suffer no loss of earnings. [More…]
Under the present legislation, while suitable employment might be found by the employer, there is no responsibility on the Commonwealth Government - which it ought to accept - to find a job for a man who is incapacitated but is still available for suitable employment. [More…]
I speak not only of the numbers of employees who work in the Department of Works and the Department of Supply, as well as the many other clerical, manual and skilled workers in the service of the Commonwealth, but also of ex-servicemen. [More…]
The Government has provided for a tribunal, but that tribunal in fact is made up of only one man. [More…]
The Labor Party’s code provides for a tribunal made up of a chairman appointed by the Governor-General, and 2 representatives of employees. [More…]
One of the continual complaints in many of the States, and certainly in the Commonwealth, concerns the delay in the granting of weekly payments where there is some dispute in connection with an injury. [More…]
In such a case a man could go for months without receiving his weekly pay. [More…]
Although these figures need to be revised, the document ‘Personnel Practice Bulletin’ states that the total working time lost annually from disabilities was estimated to be 630,000 man-weeks in the case of persons who were disabled for 1 week or more. [More…]
For a disability for 1 day to 1 week, the figure is 70,000 man weeks. [More…]
For all disabilities it is 700,000 man weeks. [More…]
He pointed out that these days when people on average wages are living on a very fine knife edge of economy and there are no margins for these delays, even on the occasion where a man loses 2 or 3 days work because of some minor injury and questions tha delays associated with claim payments, he unconsciously gets behind in his various instalment payments. [More…]
We consider rates of $35 a week for an unmarried man, $43.50 for a married man and $48.50 for a married man with one child are quite inappropriate in this day and age when the average weekly wage is about $84 per week. [More…]
We are most concerned that the hardship which is occasioned to the average family, which has nothing to spare from the weekly wage, should be allowed to continue because of lack of provision in this Bill to increase the rate of compensation to an amount somewhere near the ordinary wage which Ls earned by a working man. [More…]
One would have thought, for example, that a man who had the misfortune to lose both his legs in the course of his work would need the consolation to be obtained from a capital sum much more than a man who had lost a little finger. [More…]
in the case of total but not permanent incapacity, and clause 46 (5.) [More…]
first, if a man is totally incapacitated for work for a limited period the payment to him of a lump sum for a schedule injury determines his right to receive weekly compensation. [More…]
One of the abuses which immediately becomes possible under such a prescription is in the case of a man who might have a period of incapacity of. [More…]
So it seems to me that it is in the discretion of the Commissioner for Employees Compensation to decide when a man should or should not have a lump sum, and he having made that decision the injured employee’s right to weekly compensation is either ter minated or limited in the way that I will advert to, having regard to the exceptions that are made by the Bill. [More…]
Clause 50, which deals with a further exception, provides that where a man has had a lump sum and later becomes totally incapacitated his right to compensation revives, but he gets his compensation at a lower scale than if he had not had that lump sum. [More…]
We would urge that the payment of a lump sum should not affect the right of a worker to weekly compensation for a limited period for either total incapacity or partial incapacity or, putting it the other way round, the extent or duration of a man’s incapacity should not affect his right to a lump sum. [More…]
Of course it is unnecessary for me to point out that a man who is disabled and who has been denied compensation may find himself in the position, pending the hearing of his appeal, of having no resources at all to sustain himself and his family, so I would urge the Government to take a closer look at these sections and possibly minimise the period during which an appeal should be heard. [More…]
I suppose nothing touches a working man more than the deprivation suffered by wives and children as the result of an accident to the breadwinner at work. [More…]
These are the terms of appointment for the man who is to adjudicate between the applicant and the employer, which is the Federal Government. [More…]
A man will be disadvantaged, however, by being in a small union. [More…]
A man will be disadvantaged by not being in a union at all. [More…]
There are many such. [More…]
Have any of my legal acquaintances in this chamber ever seen the taxed costs cover the full legal costs, that is, the costs required by a legal man to take on a case? [More…]
I refer particularly to a case of a gentleman with an injured back who was a linesman with the Postmaster-General’s Department. [More…]
In accordance with judgments of the New South Wales and Federal courts, he is not what is termed an odd job or odd lot man who cannot get any employment at all, and under the present Act the Commissioner has decided that employment in which he can engage is available in the area in which he lives. [More…]
But the point is that the Commonwealth Employment Office cannot find this man a job. [More…]
The benefits provided by this legislation should be granted retrospectively to this man even though the legislation has not yet been passed by this Parliament. [More…]
With the disability allowance paid to mcn employed on oil rigs because of the peculiarities of the job, and with the amount of overtime which is worked on oil rigs, the annual salary of every man employed on an oil rig would exceed $6,000 a year. [More…]
Those responsible for paying the workers’ compensation may say that a man is fit to work, but no employment can be obtained for. [More…]
I refer specifically to the International Labour Organisation Convention cited as the Employment Injury Benefits Convention of 1964 which indicates that the standard of the International Labour Organisation in regard to the percentage paid to injured workers is 60 per cent where there is a total loss of earning capacity or a corresponding loss of faculty for a man with a wife and 2 children. [More…]
That is the person who is a man with a wife and 2 children - at least the percentage indicated therein - [More…]
At present the weekly compensation payment which is payable under the existing Commonwealth legislation is $31.80 per week for the single man. [More…]
When one compares the position with the other States it is found that New South Wales has a rate of $32.50 per week, Victoria has $26, Queensland $32, Western Australia $28.50, Tasmania $32.90, and currently in South Australia there is a provision under which, subject to a ceiling of $65 a week, a weekly payment for the employee equivalent to 85 per cent of average weekly earnings in the previous 12 months is payable. [More…]
I should indicate that that is the amount which is payable in the case where the workman has dependants. [More…]
The Commissioner who is deciding these matters may or may not be a legal man and he could be greatly influenced by the Hansard record of a reply by the Minister as to the intention crf the Bill. [More…]
If a de facto relationship is set up between a man and a woman and if the breadwinner of the relationship is injured before a period of 3 years after the establishment of that relationship there is no provision made for the de facto wife although it is possible that for 2i years or 2 years and 11 months before the accident her support came from the deceased. [More…]
I think perhaps there should be some onus on the de facto wife to prove that there was a bona fide domestic relationship but I think that is sufficiently established if the woman was pregnant to the man and they were living together. [More…]
I would say that the proof of the relationship should be mainly the responsibility of the woman but I think it is the question of support that should be established and not the question of time. [More…]
The other case involves a man who served in the Air Force on two occasions. [More…]
More recently this man applied to the Commissioner for Employees’ Compensation. [More…]
It has been said that this will cover breakage of hearing aids, for example, if a man breaks his hearing aid in an accident but does not suffer injury. [More…]
On the assumption that the Minister, when considering suggestions that come forward to him, will be interested to study the Hansard record of what has been said about these various suggestions, I should like merely to comment that it would be no comfort to a totally disabled man to be told that the lump sum which he is not getting under this Bill is twice as much as the lump sum which an employee would get under the New South Wales Act. [More…]
I pause to say that the situation was that this man had been refused compensation on the basis of a medical report which would not be provided to him by the persons who had caused the report to be obtained. [More…]
In view of the fact that this amendment is being made and that this claim is still relatively current, and in the hope that the perhaps unnecessary expense of instituting proceedings can be avoided, I ask the Minister whether he will request that consideration be given to making this report available and to making an ex gratia payment to the claimant. [More…]
As Senator Rae said, that is a change from the earlier procedure and in the case of the man to whom he refers it is appropriate that there be some reconsideration in the light of what will now be parliamentary approval of a new provision. [More…]
Under the Bill the claimant to whom Senator Rae referred would, if the injury was one to which the Act applied, be covered as ohe of a prescribed class of persons, would have a right to a copy of a report and a right of appeal. [More…]
As the proceedings in respect of which this man is concerned are under the existing legislation, ex gratia, it is appropriate that the Commissioner should reconsider the matter and I understand that he will do so. [More…]
Why should a man on stand-by in single men’s quarters be covered while in his quarters when a man in separate living accommodation is not covered while in his quarters? [More…]
I asked the Minister whether, in a case I mentioned at the time of a man who was unable to obtain suitable employment, retrospectivity would apply. [More…]
I thought that this man’s situation would have been covered by the Bill, but I gathered from the Minister’s reply that 1 had made a wrong interpretation. [More…]
The case that I quoted concerns a man who has sought employment and who has a list of the factories at which he has tried to obtain it. [More…]
It is not a fact that the employer has not employment opportunities available to this man. [More…]
Indeed, some years ago because of a recount in an election in Queensland, a man who was known to me was debarred from receiving the benefits of a parliamentary retirement fund, although he had served for a period in both the Commonwealth and the State parliaments. [More…]
This man appeared to have won a vital seat in an election, and if he had taken his seat in the parliament he would have served the necessary period to become eligible to receive the benefits of the parliamentary retirement fund. [More…]
Being a member of parliament is a particularity hazardous occupation, as far as permanency is concerned. [More…]
On behalf of my colleagues and myself I desire to extend to Senator Prowse our sincere congratulations on his elevation to a most important position in the Senate, that is, the position of Chair: “man of Committees. [More…]
The Chairman of Committees in any parliament carries a great responsibility for the reason that all amendments to any Bill are dealt with in the Committee stages when the Chairman of Committees is in charge of the proceedings. [More…]
With all due respect to those who occupy the positions of Chairman of Committees and Temporary Chairman 1 would . [More…]
suggest that when consideration is being given or a vote is to be taken on amendments- to Bills all members of the Senate be taken into the confidence of the Chairman or Temporary Chairman and informed of what is going on. [More…]
Honourable senators cannot hear what is being mumbled in the conversations and dialogue between the Clerk of the Parliament and the Chairman or vice versa. [More…]
That a United Nations General Assembly Resolution has declared that the Geneva Protocol of 1925, which Australia has ratified, prohibits the use in international armed conflict of any chemical agents of warfare - chemical substances whether gaseous, liquid or solid - employed for their direct toxic effects on man, animals or plants. [More…]
That honourable senators urge upon the Government the desirability of revising its interpretation of the Geneva Protocol, and declaring that it regards all chemical substances employed for their toxic effects on man, animals or plants as being included in the prohibitions laid down by that Protocol. [More…]

I believe that an important man in the academic world in this city probably hit the nail on the head when he wrote in a signed letter to the editor of the ‘Canberra Times’ on Monday, 16th August 1971, referring to the Government: [More…]
If we are to have this committee system - and honourable senators opposite are as keen to have it as are honourable senators on my side of the chamber, and we have reached agreement on it - we will have many committees meeting. [More…]
I am not a gambling man, I am a very strict Presbyterian, but I will bet 20c, at any rate, that what I predict will come true, and it will come true during this session. [More…]
Has the attention of the Minister representing the PostmasterGeneral been drawn to an article which appeared in the Melbourne ‘Observer’ on 1st August 1971 alleging, firstly, that secret terror groups at Melbourne’s Monash and La Trobe Universities are directed by a highly paid officer of the Australian Broadcasting Commission; secondly, that the ABC man is employed as a special projects officer in the luxurious third floor offices of the ABC in Melbourne, and thirdly, that (he man works for the ABC under the name of Jon Cassidy? [More…]
The right to strike distinguishes the free man from the slave, and the trade union movement of this country will not be enslaved by any legislation. [More…]
Is it surprising then that as a result of this and other ill considered actions the man days lost by stoppages rose from about 750,000 in 1966 to nearly 2,500,000 last year? [More…]
One has only to see the damage that it can do to the economic fabric of this country and to make mere mention of the Glasgow dockyards, the collapses that have taken place in big manufacturing concerns in America and the general economic situation in that country, which has industrial unrest to a greater degree than we have in this country, to see that the economic welfare of the trade unionist is at risk. [More…]
This great man, Senator Kane, the leader in the condemnation of the unions, does not know his history well enough to know that in Britain the people had no choice. [More…]
A friendly, kindly but aggressive and somewhat devious man, he had a talent for organising and a strong instinct for reform. [More…]
Ironically, as he later became Federal Secretary of the Democratic Labor Party, he was considered by many union leaders in the late 1940s to be on the far left wing and even a camm’. [More…]
This man, who was once said to be left wing, who was once thought of as a Com and who is now in the Democratic Labor Party, wants to gaol people. [More…]
I feel a certain sympathy with the last speaker, Senator Greenwood, an ambitious man who has recently been raised to the purple. [More…]
smears which have been the stock-in-trade of his political party for so many years. [More…]
When a drill was set up on the Great Barrier Reef and unionists refused to man it the authorities were so ashamed that drilling operations ceased and a royal commission was set up to investigate whether any drilling should take place on the Barrier Reef at all. [More…]
I refer to the power of one man, not necessarily with the support of the individual members of a union, who say: ‘We will force this business enterprise of that commercial undertaking to take steps to force employees to join a union*. [More…]
If at that stage the Party had taken a statesmanlike view and examined very carefully not from a point of view of personalities and not from a point of view of some kind of imaginary charisma that would enable it to be able better to do battle with the Labor Party or to enable it to gain or to maintain government, but from the point ot view of looking at the statesmanlike qualities and experience of the people who were offering themselves as candidates, a lot of the mistakes that have followed would not have taken place. [More…]
The whole of the atmosphere was one of personalities and of a clash between one man and the senior member of the other Party in the coalition. [More…]
Appointments have been made not on sheer ability and not on administrative ability but on whether this man would advance the cause of that faction, whether he was a friend of the person making the appointment or whether his appointment would please some outside body, Possibly appointments were made in gratitude of favours done in the past. [More…]
Appointments were governed not by the ability or the statesmanlike qualities of the candidates but by all the things which I have mentioned. [More…]
What would be the result if a man, interviewed on television, could say: ‘This is what has to be done by the Government.’? [More…]
I shall relate very briefly to honourable senators something which 1 know happened many years ago. [More…]
During the war, not long after Curtin became Prime Minister he was approached by a big newspaperman who congratulated him and said that everybody had to put his shoulder to the wheel. [More…]
I could talk of the man who was the shadow minister on primary industry matters. [More…]
I press him to do so, especially in the light of changing circumstances in Vietnam and the fact that in the United States system the man responsible for the dreadful massacres at My Lai is still not in prison, whereas 2 young men who have refused to be involved in that dreadful war are languishing in an Australian prison? [More…]
Under the British system of justice it is far better for 9 guilty men to be found not guilty than for one innocent man to be found guilty. [More…]
I am not a legal man. [More…]
I am a layman. [More…]
Sometimes I think it would be better to have a legal man as chairman but as a layman I do my best to interpret what is suggested and what is recommended or decided. [More…]
I think it is a reflection on himself because no man talks more rubbish than he does. [More…]
How does the Government justify the vast expenditure of lives and money and the vast amount of misery in Vietnam to achieve the farcical situation where only one man, President Thieu, is likely to contend the elections? [More…]
If VicePresident Ky after being forced out of the election by President Thieu’s manoeuvres decides to stage a coup, which side will Australia support military and economically? [More…]
For example, the Attorney-General who, of course, has many problems on his plate - I do not think I will hear from the Attorney-General any dissent from that proposition - would not, in the nature of things, be able to give to this matter the consideration that would be given to it by a board specially set up for the purpose. [More…]
How do we know that such a man might not have special ingrained prejudices on some matter or other? [More…]
He may be a man. [More…]
I quote it to underline the danger of having the consideration of the fate of a prisoner, who has been condemned to a term of imprisonment, ultimately in the hands of 1 man - whether he be the Attorney-General, applying his mind assiduously to the problem and considering all the circumstances in detail as one would hope he would be able to do but which one doubts he would find the time to do, or whether he be merely one of the Attorney-General’s officers. [More…]
We see the vesting of this power in 1 man - that is what it amounts to - as largely vitiating the progressive feature of this legislation. [More…]
The test is whether he holds office, because a man may profit from the holding of office under the Crown without receiving money. [More…]
The test is whether he holds office, because a man may profit from the holding of office under the Crown without receiving money. [More…]
Surely this man is making a sacrifice. [More…]
Was the honourable member’s request a proper application for the release of this courageous young man? [More…]
It is designed to counter inflation at the expense of the working man. [More…]
Along with many economic authorities, and the union movement, I believe that this Budget could well produce more than 100,000 unemployed next year. [More…]
That a government could actively strive for such a result, with all its attendant financial and human misery, is an indictment which will gravely affect this Government at the next election. [More…]
Not only is this deliberate policy of unemployment to curb wage claims immoral; it is economically wasteful in a nation dependent on manpower for its development. [More…]
To avoid man-day losses through wage disputes it sets out to cause heavier man-day losses through unemployment. [More…]
All I can deduce from what the honourable gentleman said is that he is a man with a disorderly mind, because even in a well ordered domestic sphere people budget. [More…]
I heard Senator Murphy say that as far as the family man was concerned 2i per cent would be more than he would gain from additional child endowment. [More…]
That would be a decision based on a quick assessment, because the average family man - the man I have in mind would have 4, 5 or 6 children - on an average rate of pay does not pay tax at all. [More…]
The family man has been left behind. [More…]
He was at a disadvantage compared with his fellow worker who had a small family or none at all, with the single man and even the spinster woman who was doing the same work as himself and receiving the same pay. [More…]
A man and his wife receive less than 2 pensioner sisters who are living under the one roof and sharing the cost of maintenance of that home. [More…]
Similarly, a brother and sister living under the one roof would each receive a benefit at the single pensioner rate, whereas if they were man and wife they would receive less. [More…]
Another anomaly is that a man of 65 years is forced out of work because he has reached retiring age. [More…]
He might be married to a woman 7 or 8 years his junior, and she cannot receive a pension until she has reached the age of 60 years. [More…]
When a man was out of work - it was not a matter of charity - he took down his book of stamps and was paid a measure of sustenance until such time as he got another job. [More…]
In my speech on last year’s Budget 1 pointed out that it was the family man on a low income with 4 or 5 children or more who was particularly in need of the Government’s concern and assistance. [More…]
We would not then have the cry that the big man will get the lion’s share of what the Government is to distribute, at the expense of the small man. [More…]
No man has the right to take from any person his true inheritance, especially if that person is a woman. [More…]
I personally am deeply ashamed to admit that it has taken me so long to realise that for many years the womenfolk of Australia have been humiliated and distressed in time of bereavement by these iniquitous death tax laws. [More…]
I appeal to every man in this chamber and every man listening tonight to join forces with me and help me to remove forever that great injustice to our womenfolk. [More…]
I realise of course that there are many other matters to which I must pay attention now that I have been elected to the Senate. [More…]
I suppose I am the only man who has ever been elected to Parliament on one platform only and for that very reason I must, and will, concentrate on that platform. [More…]
I discovered that many years ago parliamentarians were pretty clued up gentlemen. [More…]
How many mortgages are being raised today to pay these duties? [More…]
Yet another said: ‘I do not think that a man who strives to make a few thousand pounds to leave to his wife and family should have to pay duty until his wife dies’. [More…]
He was a very shrewd and sensible gentleman, because if a man did not have to pay death taxes until his wife died he would not have to pay them at all, as our women live longer than we do. [More…]
Statistics prove that the average woman lives 4 years or more longer than the average man. [More…]
I spent many an hour thinking about this and wondering why. [More…]
I know that no man is worth his salt as long as this legislation remains in force, hurling our widows. [More…]
Many years ago a great statesman said: Surely there are better ways of getting money than by taking if from the people to whom it belongs’. [More…]
As long as the man pays the premiums and the tax the amount on the insurance policy is added to the estate. [More…]
No, I do not think the Minister is the type of man who would put promotion first. [More…]
The late Sir Robert Garran, whom honourable senators will recall as a man who helped to write the Constitution, said to the late Senator Rex Pearson, when he asked him about the Committee, that the Regulations and Ordinances Comittee was the most important committee in this Parliament because its duty was to see that Parliament ran the country and that it was not run by the Executive and civil servants. [More…]
Because of the words of such an important man, one who helped to write the Constitution of this country, I took it upon myself as a member of the Committee to treat it in a very serious and important way. [More…]
Throughout the years as a member of the Committee and as its Chairman I have continued to do that. [More…]
Whenever I have moved as Chairman of the Committee I have moved conscientiously, believing that I was doing the right thing. [More…]
No less a person than the Minister for Labour and National Service, Mr Lynch, when he arrived back from the International Labour Organisation, made a similar speech about too many man days being lost. [More…]
That the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2603 XXIV A (December 1969) declares that the Geneva Protocol of 1925, which Australia has ratified, prohibits the use in international armed conflict of any chemical agents of warfare - chemical substances whether gaseous, liquid or solid - employed for their direct toxic effects on man, animals or plants; [More…]
Government the desirability of revising its interpretation of the Geneva Protocol, and declaring that it regards all chemical substances employed for their toxic effects on man, animals or plants as being included in the prohibitions laid down by that Protocol. [More…]
1 can vouch for that having been an 80 cigarettes a day man until 3 years ago. [More…]
If you were an 80 a day man you’re a better man than I am Gunga Din. [More…]
Already between the departments and the parliamentary process we have Ministers end the Cabinet, but now it is intended to interpose what might be referred to in Australian Rules football as the 19th man and in cricket as the 12th man. [More…]
I do not know how many there are in a rugby team. [More…]
Now, without being disparaging in any way, I come to our own Senator Marriott - the man over whom the Prime Minister has waved the magic wand; the man to whom the Prime Minister proposes to say: ‘Arise, Senator, and take the position of Assistant Minister’. [More…]
I am not saying that the man is incapable because of his age, but I am saying that this gives the lie to one of the Prime Minister’s reasons for appointing Assistant Ministers. [More…]
Let me quote what Senator Marriott - the man who will accept this great mantle of authority and who will walk the corridors of this place saying: ‘I am an Assistant Minister’ - said in the Budget debate on 15th September 1970. [More…]
This man has decided to take this mantle, but last year he said that Ministers should not be in the Senate. [More…]
It would be in these terms: ‘May the Lord help me to be a little bit more charitable to my fellow man’. [More…]
One of the easiest things to do in this wide world is to disparage a fellow man. [More…]
One of the easiest things in the world is to pour contumely on your fellow man. [More…]
I for one am pleased to see that one man has been appointed to assist with the portfolio at least. [More…]
They man the polling booths, distribute literature and give many other services during election campaigns. [More…]
For the purpose of fixing a poverty line, the people conducting the survey decided to take as the base the weekly income of a man with a wife and 2 children, which was below the basic wage plus child endowment, as at 30th June 1969. [More…]
But one of the purposes of sports medicine is to detail and tabulate how a man between 40 and SO years of age can make a gradual approach to sport and how he can make a gradual approach to getting fit. [More…]
I have not the time at my disposal to deal with as many of the ramifications of sports medicine as I would like to deal with. [More…]
I happen to be a legal man myself, although not in the area of eminence to which the honourable senator referred. [More…]
In other words, whether it was convictions to be proved or something to be stated by the convicted man in his own defence it was not heard and the court proceeded to consider the quashing of the conviction. [More…]
He is a legal man and must realise that this is an established case of a miscarriage of justice. [More…]
1 thought he would be man enough to apologise to the honourable senator to whom he directed the aspersions. [More…]
The Board also recommended that for a 3 year period local weavers, who supply up to 20 per cent of demand for man made fibre shirting should be assisted by a bounty of 20 cents per square yard, with limitation on total payment of $300,000 per annum. [More…]
Concurrently with this bounty the Board recommended that provision should be made for a by-law concession which would allow man made fibre shirting to be admitted duty free. [More…]
If a man earning S2,000 a year spends $400 on the education of one child he will receive a taxation concession of S82. [More…]
However, if a man earning $20,000 a year spends $400 on the education of one child his taxation concession will be $280. [More…]
Compare that with the $82 received by the man on $2,000 a year. [More…]
That is another point which proves that this is a wealthy man’s Budget which grants concessions to the privileged in our society. [More…]
The only educational institutions today which charge $300 a year in fees are the prestige schools to which the less wealthy and less privileged man cannot send his child. [More…]
From time to time we have had demands from those undertaking part time tertiary education for taxation relief. [More…]
A man could buy a pair of trousers from Fletcher Jones instead of from the St Vincent De Paul Society. [More…]
One case concerned a man on a very low income married to an invalid pensioner who was slowly dying from a disease certain to result in her death. [More…]
Another case in my experience concerned an 85-year-old man who was hospitalised and needed a tremendous amount of medical attention. [More…]
Because they had been pensioners for many years they had not subscribed to a health insurance fund. [More…]
This 85-year-old man lost his pensioner medical card because the joint assets of himself and his wife passed to him on her death. [More…]
This action can be repeated many times through the system of the tapered means test. [More…]
An 85-year-old man without the protection of a medical fund has had his card taken from him overnight after receiving a form letter from the Department of Social Services. [More…]
That reminded me of a man who was sick unto death. [More…]
That man would not find very much comfort in being able to say: ‘Well, I am not as sick as so and so.’ [More…]
I have taken note of the fact that 2 prominent men - one was a man who last stood for the presidency of the United States and was defeated - have complained about the havoc that the EEC is playing in the agricultural markets of the world. [More…]
The Government has been manoeuvring on this subject. [More…]
Always squeezed in the middle is the little man who has to pay more irrespective of how high sounding the Budget may have seemed on Budget night. [More…]
The Government thus allows the wealthy man to pay only $50 a year for health insurance. [More…]
At no time while that debate was on doI recall any spokesman for the Democratic Labor Party appealing for natural justice on behalf of Ronald Walsh. [More…]
In conclusion on this matter, I say that my colleague Senator Brown and myself, who were at that time closely associated with the Mr Walsh referred to, admired the dignity with which that man conducted himself. [More…]
In that case Mr Ronald Walsh proved himself to be a man among men. [More…]
The man’s case history is that after the drought of 1967 he was forced out of the dairy industry, not solely because of the drought but because at that stage the dairy industry was going through the process of changing over the method of collection of milk from cans to bulk and because his dairy required extensive improvements to bring it up to the new requirements. [More…]
Because that man was in his middle fifties he decided to opt out of the dairy industry and to ease his way into the beef industry. [More…]
I believe that it is the most effective mechanism yet invented by man to express man’s hopes, to ensure his security and to create the free society which, as his servant and not as his master, enables him to fulfil himself both spiritually and materially. [More…]
1 believe that, if we approach this new venture with restraint, with wisdom and with a true sense of the purpose of these committees, they can do much to bring the Parliament to the people and also to bring the Parliament into the twentieth century and to make it, as it can be and as it must be, a very flexible institution of man. [More…]
Let me reduce it to this concept: It concerns the raising and spending of, for every one of the 12,800,000 Australian people, a sum of $695; or, for a family of 5 - a man, his wife and 3 children - an impressive sum of $3,500. [More…]
Without denigrating it as an instrument, let me suggest that many factors are now coalescing to weaken that predominance. [More…]
I do not see ecology as being the relationship of man to his environment. [More…]
The one challenge confronting this Parliament, the people of this country and the world generally is the challenge of the ecology of the relationship of man to man. [More…]
I believe that in rethinking our education, in rethinking our education research, in studying as our main subject not material science but man, we will come some way towards the solutions. [More…]
It is high time man was less preoccupied with material science and more preoccupied with the only study that matters - man. [More…]
I hope before I leave this Parliament to see in Australia an academy of human sciences which draws together the disciplines relating to the human being. [More…]
In many cases those in authority govern either by arrogance of power or by default. [More…]
He was an established man; a hawk; an advocate of US involvement in Vietnam. [More…]
Yet he like many other US government officials after a proper analysis of the Vietnam war, found that his government was not telling the American people the real facts of that war. [More…]
In many ways the art of politics has become the art of deception. [More…]
Every country aims at greater production, greater development, greater profitability - and in so many cases human values are forgotten. [More…]
The whole of humanity, in one way or another, is switching from an agrarian to a highly urbanised society. [More…]
Man no longer relies on the natural landscape to exist as he did for thousands of years. [More…]
It determines the environment in which the major proportion of our population lives, changes all our previous human relationships and highlights the problems of individuals, communities and nations. [More…]
We are faced with the inescapable fact that tremendous city complexes are a permanent feature of our society. [More…]
In addition we must recognise that only a different approach to human relationships can solve the new technology needed to integrate man in the new densities within our cities. [More…]
Everywhere man is changing the environment. [More…]
Crises exist - whether or not this Government is prepared to recognise them - in education generally, housing, hospitals, sewerage, social welfare, accommodation, human relations and the decline in value of money. [More…]
Less than 200 years ago the white man came, I say now in all sincerity that my people were shot, poisoned, hanged and broken in spirit until they became refugees in their own land. [More…]
Following the advent of the white man came a transitional period which still exists today. [More…]
The Aborigines today find themselves drifting between 2 worlds, accepting some of the white man’s virtues, but alas, also many of his vices, subconsciously retaining to some extent the intricate pattern of relationship, the wonderful gift of sharing one with the other to such an extent that it infringes on the laws of white society, or Australian society as we know it today. [More…]
As Mrs Lippmann has pointed out, every able bodied person wants to succeed in some field of his own choosing and to know the satisfactions which come from creativity and success. [More…]
I ask for a greater degree of gambling on Australia’s indigenous population who, since the arrival of the white man, have to a degree gambled just on existing. [More…]
To be quite truthful, I was looking at Senator Bonner when Senator Gietzelt was speaking, and 1 thought then: ‘Here is a man who has a job to do, a unique job in the history of this Parliament’. [More…]
Let me make this quick observation to him: I say in all humility that he has no need to feel humble in this place because many people who came from humble beginnings have made worthwhile contributions in this Parliament, and if he keeps in mind the 2 very important qualities to which he referred - understanding and compassion for the people in the community who need them - I am sure that he also will make a worthwhile contribution. [More…]
The reason given in justification for doing so was that there were quite a number of people who require to be let out of the building after the front entrance was normally closed - the front doors are closed one hour after the rising of the latest sitting House - and delays occurred unless a man was immediately available to unlock the door for them. [More…]
The man who has to pay most is the man on the bottom of the ladder. [More…]
About 18 months ago I raised in this chamber the case of Mr Ronald Carr of 29 Prosser Street, Toowoomba, who, after many years of service in the Royal Australian Navy, was discharged as a result of a very bad heart attack or a very severe coronary occlusion. [More…]
He was discharged without any compensation at all and was not accepted for any of the fringe benefits to which an ex-serviceman with his length of service normally would expect to be entitled. [More…]
A doctor who treated this man in the Navy agreed that his disability undoubtedly had been brought about by his Service life; but that same doctor, before an appeal tribunal, denied that it had any association with his Service life. [More…]
I have here the whole medical history of this man. [More…]
wants to peruse it - even a layman - will see there indisputable evidence that there is an obligation on the Government to see that this man receives some sort of justice. [More…]
With very great respect I suggest to the Minister for Health, who is in the chamber at the moment, that this man’s case ought to be looked at. [More…]
That to me was the shabby action of a tiny little man. [More…]
The Premier of Queensland - the man who said he would put Senator Georges and myself under continuous police surveillance because of our unpatriotic attitudes - has said that the League of Rights has very much in common with the Country Party and he would not be banning it. [More…]
Housing conditions, health conditions and job opportunities for Aboriginals are non-existent in so many areas. [More…]
He cannot afford to leave a Minister in a portfolio for too long as the man might come to know the job and might become a rival for the position of Prime Minister. [More…]
The time has arrived when the man on the land has to decide that any Government at all, is better what we have now. [More…]
I am not a medical man by any stretch of the imagination; I am relying merely on what I have seen and heard. [More…]
People who have actually been to Germany for treatment have visited my home to inform me of the results of the treatment. [More…]
In each case the person has been more than satisfied as a result of spending the amount necessary to go to Germany for treatment. [More…]
Some of the more fortunate ones who have assets have been back to Germany 2 or 3 times. [More…]
Yet so many people who suffer disabilities in their arterial system have had limbs amputated. [More…]
If medical opinion is that the treatment is no good I would accept that opinion, but until such time as it has been tried in Australia we will continue to press for it to be demonstrated here in the hope that people will be able to have treatment in each State of the Commonwealth instead of having to go to Germany at an exorbitant cost and with much trouble and hardship in order to have treatment. [More…]
Sometimes we are so easily led to welcome the new and forget to pay tribute to those who have played their part in an outstanding manner. [More…]
I refer, first of all, to our former President, Senator Sir Alister McMullin, and the 2 lady senators, Senator Dame Annabelle Rankin and Senator Dame Ivy Wedgwood, both of whom broke records in many ways during their membership of this Parliament. [More…]
What a remarkable man Senator Kennelly has been. [More…]
He was a dour fighter but a man who loved life and loved parliamentary life and who, in my opinion, adorned it. [More…]
In particular I welcome my Tasmanian colleague, the Independent senator, Senator Townley. [More…]
He will carry on in a fitting manner the work of a man who adorned the position of President for a record period. [More…]
The Country Party always seems to be able to provide us with amiable and capable men to fill the position of Chairman of Committees, and it has done it again. [More…]
Many houses in the city of Adelaide would be worth far more than $46,000. [More…]
If this man were living in a house valued at $80,000 he could receive an age pension. [More…]
This man has no income except the interest on the $1,300 that he had in the bank the last time I spoke to him. [More…]
So everything has been done to try to assist this man and his wife. [More…]
I even took this man to the Director-General of Social Services who agreed with me that the case was genuine. [More…]
For example, if a man earning a taxable income of $3,000 per annum pays $100 per child per annum on education, the tax rebate is $23 as against a possible maximum of $280 for ‘ a taxpayer who could afford to spend $400. [More…]
Desiring to promote further the dignity of man and thus to contribute to the International Year for Human Rights, [More…]
I believe that there must be the right of man to take all those measures that are necessary - but only those that are necessary - to protect himself. [More…]
As a non-lawyer or a bush lawyer may I say that I think the test would be manslaughter if a person had by negligence done more than was necessary, but it would be justifiable homicide if only necessary force was used. [More…]
On the contrary, the role I see is one that I think emanates from the law and the body of law which we have inherited and of which we should be immensely proud. [More…]
The simple fact is that this Parliament, the parliaments of the past, and mankind throughout history have been so pre-occupied with living with the material environment that they have not studied living with themselves. [More…]
As I said previously, the start to the solution to this problem is to try to understand the ground rules under which man can live with man in freedom and with the right to be different. [More…]
My thoughts went to those who were responsible for the addiction which obviously had gripped that young man. [More…]
But so many other factors have to be 9 September 1971 taken into account that we must put aside our reactions in horror. [More…]
Even those who believe in euthanasia would not say that it was an appropriate time to pursue that policy if science was opening up vistas of recovery and the retrieving of the man who is mortally ill. [More…]
A great many of the most vociferous cries for the abolition of capital punishment emanate from those areas of our society which have been insulated against horrors which man can and does perpetrate against his fellow human beings. [More…]
There are exceptions to that; but throughout life 1 have heard the cry for abolition coming from areas in which the horrors that man can perpetrate against man have not been experienced. [More…]
Whilst I wish that no man should die as a result of any penalty imposed under any law, it is my view that capital punishment should be retained within the law of any State or the Commonwealth. [More…]
Whoever sheds the blood of man by man shall his blood be shed for god made man in his own image. [More…]
Whosoever strikes a man so that he dies shall be put to death. [More…]
I can assure the honourable senator that, being a man who comes from the land, in some instances of crime that I have known I certainly would have no hesitation in being the man who pulled the trapdoor away from under an individual. [More…]
Although I would be inclined to agree with what Senator Withers said about the punishment for treason, I concede that in the vast majority of cases capital punishment is too extreme, too dangerous and too inhumane a form of punishment even for premeditated murder. [More…]
I believe that in many cases of premeditated murder a sentence of life imprisonment is too extreme and loo inhumane a punishment. [More…]
I think the man’s name was Stratham. [More…]
This man had a propensity to murder little girls aged about 3 or 4. [More…]
He committed a further murder later that year and was arrested, convicted and “ anged His criminal record, starting with cat burglary and so on over many years and ultimately ending with murder, was such that no person living in Western Australia would have had any confidence that he could have been kept incarcerated for the rest of his life. [More…]
Nobody in Western Australia would have tolerated for one minute the thought that this man should have been at large. [More…]
I am sure that nobody who knew the facts of this man’s crimes would have been prepared to accept that he could . [More…]
Has the Minister representing the Minister for Education and Science seen a reported statement by Sir John Crawford, Vice-Chancel lor of the Australian National University, to the effect that he hopes that the ANU will start an inter-disciplinary degree in the science of man? [More…]
Will the Government consider initiating research into existing curricula in primary and secondary schools to establish what reforms in such curricula should be recommended towards equipping every young person with a better understanding of man? [More…]
The study of man is so far-reaching that it would nave ramifications beyond the ordinary understanding of most people. [More…]
In the case of the man who has 4 children and a taxable income of. [More…]
A wealthy man may also be a wool grower but he would not . [More…]
Of course, the fact that if that man did receive a subsidy in respect of the wool grown by him and that he, on his marginal tax rate, would pay back over 60c in every $1, escaped Senator Murphy’s honest evaluation of the situation. [More…]
Then he said that because the Government has now increased income tax by 21 per cent it has perpetuated the injustice on the man on the lower income. [More…]
I do not know how on earth he could justify a statement of that sort when, in fact, the man in receipt of a $3,000 income will have to pay an extra $10.16 while the man in receipt of a $9,000 income will have to pay an extra $65. [More…]
I cannot see the injustice ing with the tax scale which demands that in this. [More…]
Senator Murphy was simply playthe man in receipt of $9,000 per annum pays 30c in the $1 tax while, quite rightly, the man on $3,000 per annum pays only 14c in the $1 tax. [More…]
Of course, when the small business man had a big income he did not need the tax concession. [More…]
I believe that we should look at what we are doing with regard to concessions with respect to a married man who has, as we say, a dependent wife. [More…]
Our manufacturing industry has been built on primary industry, as has the complex of our city life. [More…]
We are trying to cushion the blow against the industry which, without a doubt, has contributed enormously to the well being of every man, woman and child in Australia. [More…]
I do not recall this man’s name at the moment but he states that he thinks the reason is that he was a member of the Communist Party. [More…]
But here is an instance where a man has decided for various reasons to change his political affiliations. [More…]
This man states that he has not been a member of the Communist Party for the last 4 years. [More…]
If we are talking about environmental measures we must accept that just as the first syllable of management is man, so is it man’s individual responsibility to ensure that a personal unselfishness and, perhaps, selflessness is brought to bear in the interests of the preservation of our natural resources. [More…]
We find in this Budget that the pensioner who in the main has been a working man all his life has been given practically no relief. [More…]
In reminding the Parliament and the people of Australia once again of the callous and brutal treatment handed out by the white man to his ancestors less than 200 years ago, when they were shot, poisoned, hanged and broken in spirit, he has exposed to many newcomers to this country the brutal methods used by the squatters to acquire the best land in Australia, land which today is still possessed by their descendants. [More…]
I am not alone in my thinking when I say that Senator Bonner will have many disillusionments when he tries to persuade this Government to change its attitudes to the rights of Aborigines. [More…]
This process has been common in man’s economic history. [More…]
It always became necessary to debase in some way the currency or to inflate the economy as a means of paying for the tremendous wastage of war, and as a means of increasing the capacity of the nation to produce to meet the banked up demands that accrued in the period when mau was destroying rather than producing goods for consumption. [More…]
We have progressed, I believe, a little way and each of us in our time can contribute a little to the solution of this very pressing problem of man. [More…]
Many resisted for some time and argued that the solution of man’s economic problems lay in getting back to the purist theory of pure gold, pure silver or pure something of value in the currency of the nation. [More…]
The Government has some theories, I have some theories and economists have many and varied theories. [More…]
Having reminded honourable senators of some of the history of this matter I should like now to recall to their minds how recent it is in the history of man that we have even grappled with or come to understand the magnitude of the problem that faces us. [More…]
It is well to remember that in our lifetime we saw one of the most sensational or one of the most tragic periods of inflation in history, lt occurred in Germany in the immediate post war period and did not terminate until 1923. [More…]
Germany was nol the only country involved. [More…]
England and America controlled it better than did most; France and Italy were gravely affected, but Germany was the classic example of how man so completely misunderstood the problem that in the end he adopted more or less childish circumstances in an attempt to deal with it. [More…]
A young man came to me for advice recently. [More…]
He is now a very good tradesman. [More…]
This young man was tempted to borrow money at a rate of interest of 13 per cent. [More…]
We cannot solve the problems of today by turning the economic clock backwards and going back to a primitive state of society in which we say that the production of many of these goods should be curtailed so that we can spend more money on this, that or the other. [More…]
We realise that by manufacturing and consuming all the goods that the ingenuity of man enables us to manufacture and consume we are adding to the total economic strength of our country and our capacity to improve our standards of education by spending the’ money we can afford to spend upon our children. [More…]
I think any man who has conducted any sort of business would recognise the grave dangers in that course. [More…]
The family man has been betrayed and the security of the country has been let down. [More…]
I am a peaceful man this morning. [More…]
The unemployment and sickness benefits for a man with a spouse and 2 children reaching short term benefits will be $21.50 below the poverty line and will be more than $26 below it by the end of the financial year. [More…]
A man who may have been excessive in his time, while being on a reasonably good wage, finds at the end of his working life that the pension is the only thing available to him. [More…]
I once met a foreign gentleman who happened- [More…]
I could go on and on and paint a picture of the failure of this Government to come to grips with the problems which any government that has any sense of humanitarianism would be intent on solving. [More…]
After 50 years of service a man in Australia is forced to retire on a pension of $17.25 a week. [More…]
I asked in my maiden speech whether such a man was worthy of a lot more than that. [More…]
Surely such a man should be entitled during his lifetime as a worker to free hospitalisation, medical services and education and to a full day’s pay when he is off due to sickness or an injury. [More…]
I have paid credit to its Leader - a man who does stand in credit in his State for the humanitarian legislation that he wrote into the statute books. [More…]
The other members of the Democratic Labor Party are new to me, but, as I have said and as I shall repeat again,, although I have heard them speaking passionately about great humanitarian causes, every : time the Australian Labor Party presents them with an opportunity to put their vote where it can do some good for the people that they are allegedly concerned about they continually reject Labor’s proposal. [More…]
The sooner the DLP takes stock of itself and acts in a sensible manner and applies a sensible consideration to the social service proposals advanced by the Australian Labor Party the sooner the hardships of the people will be dispelled and social justice be restored to the people of Australia. [More…]
As common sense and, I take it, decent thinking people, I think there is an onus on members of the DLP to see the light of day and do the right thing by getting with the Labor Party and supporting its humanitarian proposals. [More…]
It is regrettable that a man, even if he is elected on second hand votes, is able to indulge in gutter language of that nature in the hope that he will get some cheap notoriety out of it, and the sooner he is removed from this chamber the better this country will be. [More…]
I was endeavouring to cite the case of a young woman who is facing serious financial difficulties. [More…]
This letter is from a man who was a pensioner himself and who has made a great study of social services schemes of many countries. [More…]
Quite recently in my own city of Townsville we had the case of a nice old man who was dying. [More…]
In the whole of the city not one bed was available for a dying man unless it was obtained by the payment of private hospital fees. [More…]
It is impossible in many instances for the families of elderly people who have commitments to their own children, to meet those commitments adequately and at the same time to care for elderly parents. [More…]
It has given me a better appreciation of my fellow man. [More…]
A man and wife occupying a home would get less than 2 people - they could be brother and sister or spinster sisters - who share the responsibility of the maintenance of the home, paying rates and other things. [More…]
I suppose it would be wrong to suggest that at that stage of life a man and woman in a state of de facto relationship could get more than 2 people who are legitimately and properly married, but that is the position. [More…]
The second anomaly is that of a man of 65 who is forced to retire from work because he has reached retiring age. [More…]
Is it fair to ask a woman of 57 or 58 to go out and work? [More…]
I remember saying to a woman in those circumstances - she was a big, strong, buxom type of woman: ‘What is your state of health?’ [More…]
The family man has been overlooked for too long. [More…]
Our wages system provides that a single man is paid the same rate as a married man. [More…]
It goes further by providing that a female who does the same work as a man receives the same wage as a man. [More…]
A married man with a wife and children to maintain receives the same income as a single man or a spinster woman who have neither chick nor child to keep and who have obligations to nobody. [More…]
He is expected, unless he receives a generous child endowment, to maintain those children and maintain his home on the same wage as a single man or a spinster woman who have neither chick nor child to keep. [More…]
They have the right to consult a medical man without cost. [More…]
I suggest that many people spend their money in order to reduce their capital below the amount which would disqualify them from obtaining a pension and so do not become involved in the tapered means test. [More…]
In 1941 the full bench of the Arbitration Court said that it could not differentiate between the single worker and the married worker with dependants and recommended that the legislature should introduce some form of child endowment to supplement the income of the married man with a family. [More…]
Theoretically there are many ways in which a family within the community may be provided with the normal material means necessary to sustain it. [More…]
Originally the basic wage was viewed as a social wage which was sufficient to meet the heeds of a man, his wife and 3 children, but following the basic wage inquiry in 1934 the Commonwealth Arbitration Court veered away from this earlier concept of the basic wage as a social wage and decided that it should become an economic wage which would be the highest wage that the court deemed that industry was able to pay. [More…]
The Court added, as I said before, that in determining the basic wage it could not differentiate between wage earners according to their dependants and suggested that the legislature should do something about bringing down legislation to help supplement the income of a married man with dependants. [More…]
But the freedom of that man to speak for 4 hours is very important within the portals of Parliament where democracy exists, or is alleged to exist. [More…]
As we are withdrawing from Vietnam, why should a young man be kept in gaol for the next few months until the new National Service Bill becomes law. [More…]
Before the Marine Council reviews the case, the Chairman writes to the man and gives him the opportunity to submit an explanation for the offence in the third bad report. [More…]
Further, where the Marine Council imposes a period of suspension, that suspension is expressed as for a certain period of time or until an explanation is received, so that the man is again given an opportunity to explain the situation. [More…]
For a standard family of a man, wife and 2 children, the income equivalent to the poverty line was assumed to be marginally adequate to meet a family’s expenses after payment of income tax, but the appropriate poverty line for a pensioner was calculated on the basis of a given percentage of the family poverty line. [More…]
The specialist has not only given an opinion as the result of his own examination of the case but is able to quote directly from other medical authorities throughout the world evidence that the death of the ex-serviceman was caused by the original injuries and diseases. [More…]
Surely a woman who lived with a man from the day he came from war and who saw him deteriorate day by day, week by week and year by year until finally he died is entitled to more consideration from a Commission which is bound by an Act to interpret the onus of proof provision in favour of an applicant for a pension. [More…]
The Opposition is always free to spend the taxpayers’ money and hand it around like a man with no arms. [More…]
This problem seems to exist in many fields. [More…]
Today a single man, according to industrial awards, receives as much as a married man who is required to maintain a wife and family. [More…]
With equal pay for the sexes - I am not growling about that at all - an unmarried woman without chick or child to maintain will receive the same income as a male, if she is doing the same work as that male; yet that male may be married and have a family to support. [More…]
1 deplore the fact that many categories of repatriation pensions have not been increased to something approximating their relative value with respect to present day wages. [More…]
1 recall a case that I handled a few years ago of a man who, as long as I have known him, has been most industrious and hard working. [More…]
He is a big physically well built man who has been suffering from a lung condition. [More…]
So this man wrote to the doctor who said that he remembered him clearly and gave him a certificate to that effect. [More…]
I am not a medical man and so I do not know. [More…]
The fact remains that compared with those people one sees some poor emanciated burnt out digger whose condition is obviously due in the main to war service. [More…]
I know that in every organisation or system employing humans there will be defects and there will be deficiencies, irrespective of how conscientious one might be in trying to administer the organisation, but it is very puzzling when one hears of a case where a man is obviously deserving of some aid but is not able to receive any consideration and is rejected by the tribunals, whereas other people who are able to get about and to take an active part in life and who are already in receipt of a good superannuation or retiring allowance still receive a TPI pension. [More…]
Having had responsibility for many years I am always slow to be critical of the administration of a department because it has been my experience that the average public servant is a civil, courteous and solicitous person, particularly in departments such as the Repatriation Department and the Department of Social Services where they are required to take care of the less fortunate people in our community. [More…]
A man working on the wharf had a slight injury to his hand. [More…]
If I am right in my calculations, that means that a single TPI pensioner receives 56.26 per cent of the average take-home pay, whilst the married man with no children receives 62.18 per cent of the average take-home pay. [More…]
To clear that amount a man would have to earn $48.30 before tax. [More…]
Taking into consideration the fact that it costs the average man about $3 a week to travel to and from work, the amount becomes $51.30, which is $4.90 more than the minimum wage in Western Australia of $46.40. [More…]
If one takes these things into consideration the amount that a single man would take home out of $89.70 would be in the vicinity of $67 a week. [More…]
But the fact that these ideas come from a man with long experience and knowledge in these matters means that the paper warrants serious consideration. [More…]
Yet when he appeared on television in Australia he met a man who is just as eminent a leader in his own field as Professor Ehrlich is in his. [More…]
All of these have had the effect of alerting and interesting an extending range of people - not only the scientists and the demographers but also what I will call the man in the street. [More…]
Man is the greatest polluter of our planet. [More…]
The solution to the problem, because man is involved, is perhaps a little more difficult today in an advanced society than it was some years ago. [More…]
He argued as a young man that the perfect human society would always founder. [More…]
I do not know that anybody looks with any great respect on the statement by Lord Boyd Orr, World Health Organisation’s first chairman, that one third of the population of the world was dying from starvation. [More…]
Mr H. L. Penman, in an article entitled ‘The Earth’s potential’, made the comment that Man’s food is based upon green plants which grow by using the energy of sunlight falling to the earth. [More…]
There are indeed many propositions of more efficient harvesting to produce greater volumes of food. [More…]
The first thing that we can do as people of the world, and particularly as Australians, is to look to something that is receiving growing attention, the so called ecosystem, the relationship of man with the flora and fauna of the world, the preservation of the balance of the ecosystem and the prevention of its deterioration whether by over-heating of the atmosphere, radiation, pollution, pesticides, the wrong types of fertilisers or a multitude of other things. [More…]
For so many centuries we have depended for population control on war, on famine and on pestilence. [More…]
Because of the balance of terror which has been presented to us by the atomic weapons, those horrific instruments that man has devised, it is likely that major wars will be postponed for some time to come. [More…]
So far as pestilence is concerned, in the last 20 or 30 years science has achieved many improvements which have led to longer life for man, not only in the developed countries but also in the underdeveloped countries. [More…]
Many people now die of diseases created by our development, by congestion and by over-population. [More…]
Many more of us now die of lung cancer which we inflict upon ourselves by the over-use of tobacco in the smoking of cigarettes. [More…]
Perhaps, having gone through the part of the cycle in which man has been assisted by the wonder drugs, we are now entering a period in which pestilence again will act as a dampener upon population growth. [More…]
Let me make a comparison between charges for a business house set up in the metropolitan area of Melbourne as against one set up in my city of Warrnambool where there are many business houses, particularly small engineering firms. [More…]
For a local call fee of 4.75c - as will be the case if this Bill passes through the Senate - a Melbourne businessman has available 198.500 business telephone connections plus 346,439 private connections: He has all those connections for a charge of 4.75c a call. [More…]
Six thousand available connections for the business man in the Warrnambool call area compared wilh half a million available to his counterpart in the metropolitan area. [More…]
But let us suppose that we try to put the businessman in the Warrnambool area in touch with as many people as his Melbourne business counterpart has available. [More…]
We move the Warrnambool man into the next telephone district. [More…]
We have to go into the next district to come anywhere near a numerical comparison with the metropolitan man, and the fee rises by 1,200 per cent. [More…]
If we go into the next district it rises by 1,800 per cent for every 3 minutes the businessman is on the phone. [More…]
This last move brings the businessman into the metropolitan area where he finally must go to obtain the same numerical comparison with his business partner in the metropolitan area. [More…]
But I suggest that this cost puts this man behind scratch when it comes to competing with his city counterpart in relation to the price of the finished article. [More…]
The average working man cannot afford a telephone. [More…]
That is exactly the way this man behaves in respect of television, radio and telephone facilities. [More…]
Equally relevant in any realistic and complete assessment of the contribution of national service to our defence manpower is the position of our reserve forces. [More…]
Whatever a man may say or do up to the stage at which he is called up, the real test is surely whether or not he reports for service at the time of callup. [More…]
These included cases where prosecution proceedings had been approved or commenced, including where warrants had been issued for the man’s arrest, and conscientious objector cases awaiting hearing. [More…]
It may be called rationalisation, but I believe that capital punishment should be retained as a last resort to deal with the type of murderer I have mentioned already in some detail - the man who is not going to be controlled, who is not going to be a meek and mild prisoner for the rest of his life and who may revolt in prison, may escape and may be a threat to the community, to the lives of other people, including those who are required to keep him in custody as best they can. [More…]
Of course - and the law can provide very carefully to exculpate that man. [More…]
In Tasmania soon after the Second World War a sane man was charged and happily 1 was relieved of the obligation to defend him. [More…]
Upon his conviction the Labor Government of the day enforced the death penalty on that man who had assaulted a little girl for sensuous rape, had carted her body for 3 miles and hidden it in a cemetery. [More…]
If society is to protect itself as an ordered society, not for cowards but for courageous men, and equally courageous women and children, it must protect the man who must go against a criminal gang in the line of law enforcement and could be murdered when carrying out the obligation of the law. [More…]
A policeman may be discharging his duty when a criminal takes a firearm, axe or any other unequal weapon and murders him. [More…]
The officer of the law, whom this Parliament requires, as it has directed, to enforce the law against the criminal by keeping him under lock and key or by taking him to some place of imprisonment and confining him there, is the man from whom we withdraw the protection if we say that if the prisoner assaults the officer and murders him the officer should not have the benefit of the deterrent that comes from the existence of that penalty. [More…]
Society is challenged to dissolution unless we reserve this ultimate penalty for the man who murders a prison officer or a police officer, each of them acting in execution of the law which is the protection of our society. [More…]
The fact that the victim was a policeman acting in the execution of his duty may have a sentimental connotation and may invoke the sympathy of those of us who recognise that we as a community give these men a horrible job and pay them inadequate wages to apprehend criminals and to preserve law and order. [More…]
It is unfortunate if a man happens to be a policeman when somebody, in a moment of desperation and when driven by the instinct of selfpreservation, kills him. [More…]
Today, we have many and various methods of execution throughout the world. [More…]
However needed by society an execution is, and however much one may argue that a person should be executed, I ask: What have we done to the man who pulls the rope? [More…]
What have we done to the man who presses the button? [More…]
How many people can that man hang before he becomes completely mentally brutalised? [More…]
If he does not become completely mentally brutalised, how much does he become destroyed from within because his profession is the taking of human life? [More…]
In war, a man has a spirit of self-protection and all the instincts of mankind which drive him to do something that he must do - and he does it. [More…]
But when a man is employed to hang, for a week or so before the execution he knows the job that is in front of him. [More…]
By the time the matter has come before the court the murderer might have been convinced of the enormity of his offence and at that time he might be afraid, but the significance of the punishment is whether it affects the man at the time he is about to commit the offence. [More…]
Should I punish a man for what another man does? [More…]
I think the unanimous opinion is that a man should not be punished for what another man does, but if we should not punish him for what another man does how much more important is it that we should not punish him for what somebody else might do? [More…]
Associated with this matter, of course, is the view that capital punishment is a form of retribution for the crime which many feel is the most serious in our statutes. [More…]
Whether murder is in fact the worse crime that can be perpetrated by man against man is, of course, a matter of debate, but many people believe it to be so. [More…]
1 could accept punishment of death in the case of, to express it in television terms, the hot gun killer - the man who kills not in a state of emotion but for money, whether it be Si 0,000 or some other sum. [More…]
In the final analysis, the blood killer, the hot gun man, is a coward when he faces the moment of truth. [More…]
Many honourable senators will recall the time when a man attacked 3 models in a park in Sydney. [More…]
This happened because that individual was allowed to move in the society of the human race. [More…]
When all is said and done this is a tax on what a man earns. [More…]
There is no qualification that under this form of tax a man who is paying a substantial payroll and contributing to the economy of the nation is actually making a profit. [More…]
A man can be showing a loss on his business enterprise yet the Government says: ‘We want a share of the profit which you are not making because you happen to be paying wages to people who work and earn them’. [More…]
Yet today we are on a swing in the economy which makes it very doubtful - particularly in industrial enterprises - whether many businesses are making a profit which is equivalent to the profit which can be derived by the direct investment of money in Commonwealth loans. [More…]
But if one runs a business enterprise and pays wages to workers to manufacture goods which can be sold on a market and in the process one shows a loss, then one becomes subject to a tax. [More…]
Do they agree that we should tax a business man who is only breaking even on the payroll that he pays his employees? [More…]
Many of the employers I have worked with and for have been very sensible and high minded people I have known businesses to go bankrupt because the employer has endeavoured to employ for too long some of the labour that was redundant in the existing business circumstances. [More…]
If the same circumstances that applied then applied now, the man going bankrupt would be levied payroll tax. [More…]
I suggest that in the circumstances at that time, when so many people were involved, it would have been political annihilation for anybody to suggest that course. [More…]
It was introduced, as was suggested by 2 previous speakers, as a measure supposedly designed to bring in two-thirds of the money required to contribute some supplement to the wages and income of the family man. [More…]
In other words, it will provide funds with which the Government will supplement the wages and income of the family man. [More…]
The importance of the family man to this country is too often overlooked. [More…]
To establish the credentials of this man let me state that he is an English authority on modern warfare. [More…]
He has been in Australia for the past 3 months on a Commonwealth scholarship and he gave an address, which I hope that many others besides myself in this chamber were fortunate enough to hear on the ABC’s ‘Guest of Honour’ programme last Sunday night [More…]
I recall the lengthy answer given by Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson who pointed out that it was a mistake to consider a man unfit merely because he was rejected by the Army. [More…]
Although he considered himself a reasonably fit man he was rejected for war service. [More…]
That, I think, is a fanciful comment, even from a man like Churchill, on what happened. [More…]
Does the Government consider that its carrying on of an undeclared war in Vietnam in supposed support of democratic government can still be justified after the 90 per cent vote in favour of President Thieu in a one man election? [More…]
After all, if one goes into the area of sewerage installations, it might be suggested that the next type of allowance might be for the television repair man. [More…]
Was that the speech of a man knocking the present military system of Australia? [More…]
Are these the words of prophets or are we going to say, as so many did in the 1930s of Hitler, that ‘he does not mean what he said and we can furl our umbrellas’. [More…]
Man can do only one thing in these circumstances, and that is be prepared. [More…]
I am very disappointed that a man has come into this chamber in the dying stages of the Vietnam war and has made a speech in this chamber advocating conscription in any circumstances and who, as my colleague Senator Cavanagh said today, has indulged in half truths and most of the time in untruths. [More…]
One man was able to eliminate his opposition without a ballot, go to a ballot alone and claim that he got 95 per cent of the vote. [More…]
Although the Air Force advertisements say: ‘Join the Air Force, young man, and see the world, and fly all our brand new planes and work with all our electronic gadgets,’ these things do not exist. [More…]
We have reached a situation which is no longer tolerable, in which the very credibility of the Government has been dissipated and in which the man in the street says: ‘I wonder what will be on television tonight. [More…]
Even though 10 months before the outbreak of the war John Curton may have said that he deplored the amount being spent on defence, at least he redeemed himself to a great measure by the exemplary manner in which he conducted himself and the Labor Party during the succeeding years of war. [More…]
This man, who had been a great anti-conscriptionist in the First World War, saw the necessity in the then circumstances to convert and convince the various State executives of the Australian Labor Party of the necessity for conscription. [More…]
I invite honourable senators to consider the Hursey case in which a man and his son, waterside workers, refused to pay a levy to the Waterside Workers Federation at election time, because half of it would go to the Communist Party. [More…]
I think that every physically able young man should be trained to defend his country. [More…]
I have a good ally in that because after the 1969 election no other than Mrs Whitlam advocated the conscription of the young womanhood of Australia for the defence of this country. [More…]
I repeat that every young man in Australia should be trained in the defence of this country. [More…]
I have had as many as 6 people, particularly mothers, come to my home when the previous national service scheme was in operation, worrying about their boys going into camp for a period. [More…]
He came out better for it and was more manly. [More…]
Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said This is my own, my native land!’ [More…]
Lee Kuan Yew is a free enterprise man. [More…]
If it can say that a man as a matter of conscience has a right to disobey a law then every man has a right to disobey a law if he says: ‘My conscience will not allow me to accept that’. [More…]
I can only regret that Senator James McClelland has chosen to give further credence to the unfortunate personal remarks of a man who is an isolated person on the University of Melbourne campus. [More…]
An attempt was made by honourable senators on the Government side to denigrate this authority but nobody managed to cut down the statements he made. [More…]
We must assume that they find it too embarrassing even to mention the name of the man who was their leader until so recently. [More…]
He pointed out that a man, on being called upon to register, could, if he chose, opt for service in the Citizen Military Forces. [More…]
The second matter to which I wish to refer is Senator Cavanagh’s comment that only 6 months’ service is obtained from a national serviceman after he has received training. [More…]
While they become quite emotional about conscientious objection to military service, if a man because of a conscientious objection does nol want to join a union they condemn him as a scab. [More…]
When it suits honourable senators opposite a man has a right of conscience. [More…]
When it does not suit them the man is a scab. [More…]
We in the Government have said that any young man who is required to render national service may, if he chooses, render service in the Citizen Military Forces and he will not be obliged to render national service. [More…]
We believe that this matter is of sufficient social importance to justify a man with the status of a judge determining the matters involved. [More…]
Also, we believe that there would be a likelihood of greater uniformity in decisions if a man with the status of a judge - as is proposed by this amendment - were to make decisions in these matters. [More…]
Any of the penalties which devolve upon a man who has exerted all his rights to be a conscientious objector are penalties imposed by an act which we attempted to abolish altogether. [More…]
We suggest that if both these reforms are adopted there would be a more just and humane system for conscientious objectors. [More…]
There would be a greater feeling of confidence in the tribunal if it were under the supervision of a man of the status of a judge rather than of a magistrate. [More…]
From my understanding of this young man, one can place complete and absolute reliance upon the statement of Charles Martin made to the Adelaide Advertiser’ and which I have just quoted to the House, that his conscientious objection is based on a particular war, the war in Vietnam. [More…]
Obviously this is a statement of a man of most intense feelings of conscience against that war. [More…]
Those persons might be lucky enough to get one of the Australian Labor Party presidents, like the man in Victoria, to say: ‘I will get the unions to provide a bodyguard for you.’ [More…]
As the authorities could not go to the courts to get a warrant for arrest because there was no obligation upon a person to go before the commissioner, we would have a situation in which the man who made an application would go absolutely scot-free. [More…]
One would think that Senator Greenwood would agree that one of the foremost and substantial beliefs of many Christians is that a man is nol justified in serving in an unjust war and that the question of whether a war is just or unjust is for the conscience of that man. [More…]
A substantial and not insignificant number of Catholic clergy and laity believe that this is in strict accordance with the doctrines of the Catholic Church, as they understand it; that a man shall not fight in an unjust war, and furthermore, that the judgment of what is just or unjust should be arrived at by the exercise of his conscience. [More…]
Because he holds the belief about a particular war does not mean that his conscience is not just as firm as that of a man who, on religious grounds, objects to the taking up of arms. [More…]
My Leader has just reminded me of the necessity to get this Bill through the Parliament tonight as the very freedom of this man depends on it. [More…]
For example if a magistrate sentenced a man to 5 years imprisonment he may set a minimum non-parole period of 4 years which is, in effect, a way of shortening the sentence, subject to certain conditions imposed by the Commonwealth Prisoners Act. [More…]
Under the National Service Act a man is deprived of that benefit. [More…]
Yet persons convicted under the National Service Act are deprived of that right which is considered to be, according to modern criminology and the practices in all States, the right of every man convicted of an offence. [More…]
The N3 aircraft has been flown by only one pilot and he is the only man who has evaluated its performance. [More…]
Mr Walsh, a solicitor, defended the man who was named Robinson. [More…]
I would have thought that any statement by me on the merits of what Senator Cant has raised, or any embarking into a discussion of legal questions, would be imprudent and could be regarded as unwarranted in the circumstances that a man is on his trial. [More…]
I would say that any statement made by a man who has been such a distinguished serviceman and a man of great achievement in the service of Australia is a statement that must be looked at, examined and evaluated. [More…]
Reference has been made to the middle man. [More…]
On occasions it is the middle man or some other section of industry or commerce who gets the rake off, whereas the man back at the farm misses out. [More…]
As an alternative, the efforts of the Minister for Primary Industry and the skill of the industry representatives on the Federal Board have evolved a scheme in which, to eliminate the complexity of brands, the multiplicity of ports of delivery and the ineptness of shipping that bedevils the export of the products of this industry, they have decided that instead of issuing 19 export licences for Tasmania, one export licence should be issued to a consortium, representing the exporters, under a unified management, lt is of great satisfaction to know that the Minister has been sufficiently alive to the situation that he has called industry representatives and officers of the Department of Primary Industry to meet in Melbourne on 20th October to evolve a scheme that will attack the freight problem and surmount these other difficulties so as to ensure this year as practical and as successful an export season as possible. [More…]
A practical man sees the difficulties. [More…]
Yes, Ellsworth Bunker was the ambassador at the time - the man who has also played some role in Vietnam. [More…]
It would lake a very stouthearted man to do this. [More…]
Could somebody who was humanly involved in this matter say: Look, I am not going to give these medicines to my wife. [More…]
Category A includes a man with a family whose weekly income does not exceed $46.50. [More…]
The second, a man about 65, died half-conscious, unable to swallow and with a nineinch incurable bed sore on his back. [More…]
The man who died within six hours of the transfer had $70 saved - barely enough for one week’s fees at a private hospital. [More…]
Senator Poyser in his own vigorous way has repeatedly pointed out the massive salesmanship which is carried out in relation to drugs. [More…]
I know that Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson is a very kindly man but I think he could leave a very strong reputation as a Health Minister if he were to take on a number of these issues and, by implementing to the full the Nimmo Report, expose some of these lurk activities of the drug companies. [More…]
I point out that the cost of many medicines is probably not very great. [More…]
I shall cite the case of a man whom I know. [More…]
The extraordinary thing about this case was that this drug was designated as a pharmaceutical benefits item for another ailment but not for the ailment that this man had. [More…]
Then, as a result of representations, the Minister for Health and the Department of Health agreed that the designation of the drug should be broadened to cover the illness from which this man suffered. [More…]
This was a tremendous help to this man as he was not required to pay $100 a month for the drug. [More…]
What I am trying to point out is that because of his illness this man could not receive this drug under the pharmaceutical benefits scheme. [More…]
To say that such a man would be regarded with contempt is too mild a word. [More…]
And this is the sentiment which the ordinary man, who has to pay taxes, is coming to feel for both political parties, who promise ‘something for everyone’, with the object of winning the next election. [More…]
I may adopt a different attitude if I were a man on a low wage with 3 or 4 children whose medicine chest is overstocked with drugs prescribed for a previous illness. [More…]
There may be a tendency for that man to try the kiddie on one of the drugs that helped it on a previous occasion rather than pay the increased $1 for a prescription following a visit to the doctor, and this could result in the most harmful effects possible. [More…]
If a man were producing one bushel of pears and the rest of the production from his orchard was strawberries, under this paragraph he is partly engaged in the production of pears. [More…]
If that is the argument, have all these precautionary provisions, which have become so confusing and which allow a man who has been to the Melbourne Cup and who has bought spray on the way to say: ‘I. [More…]
A man required to register who fails to do so renders himself liable to prosecution and to be called-up for service regardless of the result of the ballot for his age group. [More…]
I have already explained to him that the man in question furnished the preliminary information requested of him and further inquiries on the basis of that information established that as an Aboriginal he was not liable to register. [More…]
It would appear that it has been done thus ever since man slaughtered a beast and hung it to a tree. [More…]
One of these matters is brucellosis or, as it is known in man, undulant fever. [More…]
Those of us who have met persons inflicted with this complaint known as undulant fever - 10 days ago I met a man who has been very ill with it for 2 years - realise that it is a problem for anybody who is unfortunate enough to contract it. [More…]
Among the matters recommended by this report for further research are the bacteriology of brucella, immunity and vaccination and diagnosis of human and animal brucellosis. [More…]
I turn now to the human element and the need to carry out research to control brucellosis because of the dreadful consequences which can flow to men who work in the industry. [More…]
It is transmitted to man. [More…]
There have been many instances in which meat inspectors have contracted this disease which, in effect, is incurable. [More…]
It renders a man impotent at an early age. [More…]
In many cases this has led to the breakup of a man’s family. [More…]
The rendering impotent of a man is a serious consequence which should be compensated. [More…]
None of them was a ‘yes’ man as alleged by some young revolutionaries. [More…]
As I understand it, the gentleman to be appointed is an officer of the Prime Minister’s Department. [More…]
The Interim Council that was appointed to administer certain aspects of the initial programme recommended by 8 votes to 4 that Mr Laurie Thomas, a very well known man in the field of arts, a former director of the Queensland Gallery and, I think, of the Gallery of Western Australia, be appointed to that position. [More…]
I understand that he is virtually in charge of Sir Frank Packer’s interests in radio and television, and this man is now being appointed by the Governmentto the Interim Council of the Australian Film and Television School. [More…]
Geoffrey Mullen, a young man gaoled for 2 years for refusing to be conscripted for the war in Vietnam, has been described by the various gaol superintendents as being a model prisoner? [More…]
Can the Senate be assured that it is not the intention of the Government to harass or break the spirit of this young man who, on a matter of high principle, is paying a big enough price? [More…]
Has the attention of the Minister representing the Minister for Customs and Excise been drawn to the fact that samples of fabric have been imported into Australia from Mainland China which purport to be, and are labelled so as to lead a purchaser to believe that they are woollen piece goods when in truth the material contains no wool whatsoever and is manufactured from 100 per cent man made fibre? [More…]
Ex-senator William Clarence Heatley was a man of many parts. [More…]
I had the pleasure of knowing Mr Heatley for many years. [More…]
Although I did not come in contact with him frequently until he came to the Senate, I knew sufficient of him to know that he was a man of very modest character. [More…]
Mr Heatley was, as has been said, a man of quiet disposition and gentle character. [More…]
His private secretary, Miss Hanman, is now my private secretary. [More…]
Many people who were Mr Heatley’s concern, whose cases he fostered over the years and for whom he attempted to obtain some amelioration of apparently harsh administrative decisions still come to me today. [More…]
It reflects something which has been said in a number of places - including the United Nations by the Australian delegate - and that is that Taiwan, a country of 14 million people, has always paid its bills and done the right thing by everybody, a friend to every man and an enemy to none, has been sadly and shabbily treated by being expelled from the United Nations. [More…]
It has done a magnificent job in its many subsidiary bodies, but a group of some 120 nations that meets to try to get some kind of agreement can never do so. [More…]
I put it this high, that the potential long term peace of this world may well yet be gained through a fifth force - Western Europe - finding unity, finding the ability to live together as the great adventure of man. [More…]
In addition to this the grower who sells to the private buyer receives his money some 2 to 3 months sooner than does the man who sells at auction. [More…]
But if a man is doing his job properly he will always run into criticism. [More…]
What Sir William Gunn does outside his job as chairman of the Australian Wool Board is his business. [More…]
The public response to invitations to provide written submissions to the Committee was disappointing and it was necessary to seek views from a range of organisations representative of commercial and expert bodies and of the man in the street. [More…]
Out of that arose a statement by the Prime Minister (Mr McMahon) that he would set up a committee to sec that the business of the Parliament was presented to it in an orderly manner. [More…]
Although he saw that he had made a mistake by applying the guillotine to the sittings of the House of Representatives and although the media of public information were pointing out to him the mistake that he was making, he was not a big enough man to admit that he had made a mistake and extend the sittings of the House of Representatives. [More…]
An aged person - that is, a resident of Australia aged 65 or more, if a man, and 60 or more, if a woman - will pay no tax for the current year if his or her own taxable income does not exceed $1,326. [More…]
Apart from the local service provided to growers and butchers, employment is available in the town for people to man these depots. [More…]
Further depression would occur in the already bleak outlook of many country towns if these businesses were forced to close due to their inability to service the growers as a result of not being able to participate in the wool scheme through sheep skins as well as through shorn wool. [More…]
I repeat that these figures were supplied by a man whom I know well - a mathematician - and 1 would be very much inclined to accept his figures. [More…]
We are competing against the Du Pont organisation which has one man in control as managing director. [More…]
Therefore whether it be a company managed in the same way as the Du Pont organisation or Courtaulds, or whether it be an organisation of wool growers, we must have some organisation that can speak with one voice. [More…]
There is increased production, yet there appears to be a fear on the part of the Government and apparently also on the part of the leaders of the industry that if wool is pushed too much on world markets it might come up against increased competition from man made fibres. [More…]
The present price level is such that it is impossible for any man to continue to exist. [More…]
The Government is saying that a man can be removed unless both Houses say no. [More…]
lt is not always an easy matter to be sure that the right man has been chosen for a particular job, but overall I believe that legal training is a desirable attribute in the sort of area in which the Trade Practices Tribunal has to deal. [More…]
Predatory pricing was dealt with in the United States 35 years ago when the Patman-Robinson Act came into force in 1936. [More…]
That practice was regarded as a menace to the position of the small businessman. [More…]
One man should not be able to carry out this kind of activity in order that subsequently he might be able to raise prices after he has destroyed his competitor. [More…]
May I say, because it is a truism, that the person who in language states the principle, even though he says it will have to be defined in this way, is vastly removed from the man who has to get down to the work of actually drafting a legislative provision to give expression to the principle and who has to do it in a way which takes account of the myriad of instances which ought to be comprehended? [More…]
We are completely familiar with the situation of a man who may buy some shares or some properties in the hope that they will appreciate. [More…]
If we retain a situation in which the great chain stores can make these arrangements, in which they can have discriminatory treatment in their favour and against the little businessman, it is all over; there will not be any restrictive trade practices law. [More…]
Here we sit and hope that we are to get some strong legislation from a man who just does not believe in restrictive trade practices law. [More…]
Why should the small man be accused of engaging in an examinable practice if all that he is doing is seeking to get favourable terms to start up his business, for example? [More…]
Great play is being made about a gentleman in Western Australia called Lang Hancock. [More…]
This man is taking practically the whole of the Pilbara iron province. [More…]
One reservation which one can look at with some little pride is Mount Newman. [More…]
Another man who comes from northern Queensland and whom I know pretty well is Clive Foyster. [More…]
Concessional deducations vary with individuals, but say a man has a taxable income of $4,000, he will have to pay $677.30 and the special levy on top. [More…]
Many are painfully aware of its incidence. [More…]
Such taxing methods always operate much more harshly against the family man. [More…]
I think Mr Bethune and Mr Beattie told this man to go and jump in the lake. [More…]
He was also a man who was prepared to stand up and say that he did carry a ticket. [More…]
I can go back to a time before Mr Stanistreet was Secretary of the Tasmanian branch of the A.R.U. [More…]
I can go back to the day when a gentleman who was Secretary of the Tasmanian branch of the ARU had the honour to represent Tasmania in this very chamber. [More…]
The only provision made is for a man who is already a judicial office holder in a Federal court. [More…]
I would emphasise that a man who suffers from one or other of these conditions would not necessarily be affected in his normal everyday life but if he were called up for Army service any disability which impaired his efficiency could have serious consequences for him and the men he served with. [More…]
Does he genuinely expect the Australian public to believe that he and the Commonwealth police really wanted the young man who appeared on the programme to be apprehended? [More…]
I have said many times that it is the Government’s intention to have draft resisters arrested, that the police have made many efforts to effect those arrests and that the people concerned have run away from the police as they have run away from their obligations. [More…]
I believe also that honourable senators who in the past have described me as being ‘a law and order man’ could scarcely believe that they are wrong in supposing that I would want to have these people arrested. [More…]
They became aware that a person whom they were seeking to apprehend was in the studio only when one of them saw on the television set in the foyer the actual presence of this man Matteson. [More…]
The total man hours of labour involved in repairing the vehicles mentioned were 437 hours. [More…]
Did Sir John Crawford, Vice-Chancellor of the Australian National University, state recently that he hopes that the Australian National University will start an inter-disciplinary degree in the science of man. [More…]
Will the Government consider initiating research into existing curricula in primary and secondary schools to establish what reforms in such curricula should be recommended towards equipping every young person with a better understanding of Man. [More…]
Vice-Chancellor of the Australian National University did say at a Conferring of Degrees ceremony on 10th September that there were moves in the University towards the establishment of ‘a degree in the Study or Science of Man, which will call for the cooperation of the biologist, sociologist, psychologist, economist, anthropologist and historian’. [More…]
This project is committed to an environmental approach which is concerned withthe future of Man on this planet. [More…]
A second important area of the curriculum which seeks to equip students with a better understanding of Man is the Social Sciences. [More…]
Will Commonwealth Electoral Office staff man polling booths at Gove for the 1972 House of Representatives election, or will Nabalco managerial staff be seconded for this purpose. [More…]
The official Opposition - the Australian Labor Party - is in a little better position, lt has sufficient backbench senators to man the 7 general purpose committees, with the help of the Democratic Labour Party and the independent senators. [More…]
ls only one man now in gaol for refusing to bc conscripted despite this wide-spread defiance of the Act. [More…]
They are circumstances which are understandable, such as that a man cannot attend at a particular time. [More…]
No doubt he does because he can attack a man in the sanctity of the Senate knowing that that man is awaiting trail at the present time. [More…]
He well knows that Mr Hartley is awaiting trial, and yet he deliberately introduced his name into this debate and made allegations about his allegedly unlawful conduct for no other purpose than, under privilege, blackguard this man who is awaiting trial. [More…]
This is the man who sets himself up as the Attorney-General, the champion of law and order. [More…]
He uses it to engage in a blackguardly attack on a man who cannot defend himself in the same way as he used this office to engage in blackguardly attacks on young men throughout Australia who have had the courage of their convictions in refusing to go to Vietnam, while Senator Greenwood and his colleagues of military age have shown their lack of courage by not going to fight in the war in Vietnam to which they have been sending these young men. [More…]
This is a most contemptible act for any man in office in any Parliament. [More…]
He used this place to attack a man on a matter about which he has been charged and on which he has been found to be not guilty. [More…]
The Attorney-General has also, as Senator Wheeldon has said, introduced another matter which would, if it came from this side of the Senate under any other circumstances be declared completely subjudice - but not as far as the AttorneyGeneral is concerned He is hoping by these references that he will influence a jury in Victoria, if he can get sufficient publicity to find guilty a man who is not guilty and who will be proved to be not guilty when he goes before the court. [More…]
Isthe Minister aware that Mr Geoffrey Mullen (a young man gaoled for 2 years for refusing to be conscripted for the war in Vietnam), has been described by the various gaol superintendents as being a model prisoner? [More…]
Can the Senate be assured that it is not the intention of the Government to harrass or break the spirit of this young man (who on a matter of high principle is paying a big enough price)? [More…]
Any man who served in the armed forces during the Second World War, be it outside or inside Australia, was entitled to Commonwealth rehabilitation training and he could choose any trade course or any professional course that he desired. [More…]
As a result of the Commonwealth rehabilitation training services which were available to men discharged after the Second World War and because of a government that was grateful to them and appreciated the services they performed there are today many lawyers, doctors, scientists, dentists and veterinary scientists carrying out their professions. [More…]
If any man is receiving a mere $42.50 a week he is considered to be on the poverty line and is entitled under this Government’s health legislation to receive completely subsidised medical services. [More…]
What is the total and permanently incapacity rate that the Government has provided in its current Budget? [More…]
How much is paid to a man who has both his arms amputated? [More…]
How much is paidto a man who has both his legs and one arm amputated? [More…]
I think that it would be a very brave man indeed who would make a judgment as to how the patient would progress. [More…]
Probably this is because of the modern telecommunications available to mankind today. [More…]
This sort of thing is built into each man. [More…]
When they come up with something and say: ‘Let us wash our hands of politics in this manner’ - well, be that as it may. [More…]
1 think that is all one ever has lo say about the Australian fighting man. [More…]
If an arm is amputated and an eye is destroyed - these are pretty terrible sorts of things - the repatriated man will receive $6.50 a week. [More…]
What is wrong with saying that now that the fighting man is coming back from Vietnam, with the war as good as over, we want to do something about the situation? [More…]
ft is a bit of an Atlantean bus type or one-man motion. [More…]
But this was the calculation of a man of some skill in this field. [More…]
How is the public to judge a government which says that $10 a week, eroded by a 6 per cent inflation, is sufficient unemployment benefit for a single man, or $18 a week is sufficient for a married couple, but which is prepared to pay out $300m in one year to prop up a dying industry merely to remain in office? [More…]
I do not need to labour that point because any honest man in this chamber would realise that the disquite about the economy is not confined to this side of the chamber and is not confined to financial writers but is spread right throughout the community. [More…]
One could suggest for the purposes of the argument that the minimum wage is supposed to keep a man, his wife and one child. [More…]
In 1960 a married man with one child received $12.25 a week in unemployment benefits. [More…]
I suggest that there would not be anybody in this chamber who would not’ say that a genuinely unemployed person who wants to work - noi a person who is permanently unemployable or deliberately unemployable because he is attending demonstrations half the time and is on employment relief - needs to receive about the minimum wage in order to keep his wife, his child and himself decently. [More…]
In view of the fact that the minimum wage has increased by $19 a week and the unemployment benefits for a man, his wife and one child have increased by only $7.25 a week, we members of the Democratic Labor Party suggest that, if there i to be any increase at all - or even if there is not to be any increase - in the numbers of genuinely unemployed people who want to work and who are desirous of keeping themselves and not becoming a drain on the community, that increase of $7.25 a week over the last 10 years should be looked at very seriously by the Government. [More…]
It is a fact that today more than ever before there are 2 incomes going into many families because wives work. [More…]
When one reflects on those words one wonders what a man with a legally trained mind really means in using them. [More…]
In that situation a man suffers degradation, a loss of dignity and a sense of frustration. [More…]
The loss of a man’s sense of being able to provide for his family is something to be witnessed and observed at first hand. [More…]
A man’s suit was worth 90 hours in 1951 and 43 today. [More…]
Senator Guilfoyle pointed out that if the unemployment benefit had moved with the consumer price index the benefit for a single man would have increased by only 72c a week since 1970. [More…]
I do not think Senator Guilfoyle would disagree that it is wrong in 1971 to expect a single man to live on $10 a week, no matter for how short a time he is unemployed. [More…]
It was the opinion of one man. [More…]
We did not achieve full employment until we had prosperity and then the workers demanded improved conditions. [More…]
And I think this, too, served to project Australia effectively to the man in the street. [More…]
To my recollection and to the recollection of others from whom I had inquired, there was only one person who wore a draft resister’s button, and quite positively he was not this man Matteson. [More…]
I wonder whether the Commonwealth Government accepts the view that the provision of shelter is one of the basic human needs. [More…]
It is not asking too much in today’s society to accept that the word ‘shelter’ does not mean solely being protected from the elements.It means the provision of adequate and comfortable shelter accompanied by all of the services modern man needs to live properly. [More…]
Many people in the planning field, in the universities regard the year 2000 as something of a yardstick for planning purposes. [More…]
T merely make the point that tremendous demands will be made upon the Slate governments to provide the essential services to make accommodation a reality for the man in the street. [More…]
The Commonwealth has the responsibility to look at the people of Australia and to say: ‘We are out to assist the low income earners, particularly the family man. [More…]
Although in most instances the States do not arrange for migrants to come here, when a migrant has become integrated in our community and has become a successful man within his Scale, he is then a success for the State and of benefit to the State, so why should he be required to pay more than anyone else towards the cost of educating his children? [More…]
I do not know that grants to be provided under the legislation will be adequate; I doubt verymuch that they will be, particularly when housing for many people in the community has fallen into a very sorry state. [More…]
Because of the Government’s philosophy over the last 20 years we have arrived at a. situation in which the man who most needs assistance for housing is the family man with 3, 4, 5 or 6 children, rather than the man who has no family. [More…]
State and municipal authorities to permit poor housing conditions, which in many cases are the only conditions available to larger families. [More…]
The taxation structure in this country offers very little to the man with the larger family even if he does not pay very much in direct taxation. [More…]
that hampers the man with 5 or 6 children. [More…]
It pretends that because the family man is nol paying very much income tax it is providing him with a great concession. [More…]
Yet he is the man who is building a greater Australia. [More…]
The family man has to meet this burden of indirect taxation in purchasing needs for his 5 or 6 children. [More…]
To me the figures appear to be getting away entirely from the figure which the average working man can afford. [More…]
I suggest that that figure is entirely beyond the ability of the man who is on what we should consider as the basic wage in Australia today. [More…]
Neither government has anything of its own to give to the other; we only manage - I hope by mutual purpose - one man’s money, and that man is the taxpayer. [More…]
When I was a young man people did nol pay rates and taxes until such time as they used the sewerage and water facilities. [More…]
The man in the street can therefore be pardoned for being much more disturbed. [More…]
It could be suggested by some that part of the money which is gained in this way should go towards the promotion of a campaign against the use of tobacco and the use and abuse of alcohol, but that would be richer like injuring a man with one hand and bandaging him with the other. [More…]
My , only wish is that every man who is out of work in the community today could have heard the remarks uttered by the honourable senator. [More…]
Seven of these men chose to go into the Army when given that chance either before or during a court hearing andonly 1 man has persisted to the stage of being sentenced to imprisonment. [More…]
Senator McManus is a man of established experience in the field of education and I listened to his proposition with considerable respect. [More…]
However, I cannot fail to express a lurking misgiving within me because I have seen many a student start with no particular promise at the initial stages of his educational career and come out with complete brilliance, and by the same token I have seen others win bursaries at the top of the State list and fade away under the pressure of educational processes, indicating that the intellect has not been equal to the challenge. [More…]
I have found that the ordinary plug in the community often has a greater bump of fair play in him than the man who has moved in highly intellectual circles. [More…]
On the one hand, nobody will deny that no other job performed by the manual work force in any part of Australia, even north Australia, is of the magnitude in terms of manpower of the Snowy Mountains scheme. [More…]
The question is bound up between a vast work force of manual workers and job opportunities. [More…]
I know that people talk very glibly about retraining but if you talk to a man over 35 years of age about retraining he will say: If there is somebody available 10 years younger than I the employer will accept him.’ [More…]
The major parties are complaining that the Senate committee system is reaching the stage when it is overloading with work the representatives of the major parties which have so many more members with which to man committees. [More…]
Many much more urgent matters with which a Senate committee could be involved would have to be put aside because of the inroads that an inquiry of this magnitude would make into the time available to honourable senators. [More…]
We would still have to find one man to do the job. [More…]
At this stage we do not have sufficient members of the Senate to man all the committees we need. [More…]
The man to whom J refer has about 7 months to go before the 10-year period is up, but he will have ho income during that period simply because he is 65 years of age and cannot get any other employment due to his age. [More…]
This happens to many migrants because the requirement of 10 years continuous residence in Australia. [More…]
When investigating Mr Hanley Woodbridge’s case in Geelong in order to find some kind of precedent or some kind of - method by which I could convince the Minister that this family was entitled to further consideration I obtained information about a gentleman working at the ‘ Ford Motor Company. [More…]
It has been established - this is my advice, and I accept the advice - that through the intervention of the Ford Motor Company on this man’s behalf he was granted an assisted passage, although he did not comply with the hard line policy which the Government now has on racial discrimination in mixed marriages. [More…]
I ask that the matter be looked at in the humane way in which it should be looked at. [More…]
I have told the Minister of the debts that this man has incurred, the fact that he is well received by the company for whom he is working - Alcoa of Australia Ltd at Geelong - that he is a competent draughtsman and that he has indicated his great desire to settle in this country because he thinks so much of it. [More…]
But he has been affected by hard line Government policy which has discriminated against him because he chose to marry the woman of his choice and she was an Indian lass. [More…]
I will not go into the personal affairs of this man across the chamber in front of the public. [More…]
This man was forced into heavy debt,for the reasons I outlined before, in order to get here to join his family. [More…]
Agreement was reached between the Prime Minister of this country and a man known as the banana Premier of the hill-billy State. [More…]
In fact, there is currently in Queensland a mixed blood Papuan who wants to remain as a permanent resident. [More…]
He is a man with an excellent education who has relatives in Australia who are prepared to give him a home and provide him with employment. [More…]
But the shortsightedness of the Government’s policy excludes this man from Australia. [More…]
We have to remember that this Minister is the man who believes in a proliferation of gaols in this country so that people may be put behind bars for comparatively minor social indiscretions. [More…]
He is a man who endeavoured, in his early days in this chamber, to have extra conscripts committed to Vietnam. [More…]
As a result of a misunderstanding, I thought that the case referred to a man in Adelaide whose name is Josephs. [More…]
In that case the father and brother of this man and their families were granted assisted passage to Australia. [More…]
This man had lived in Great Britain for 25 years but because he was born in Colombo - having had no control over where he was born - he could not receive assistance and is now S900 worse off because he has brought his family here without Government assistance. [More…]
This was an application by a cultivated man from an accomplished and civilised country, yet he was refused an assisted passage to Australia. [More…]
In this case also the man, who again was from a country which is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations, was refused an assisted passage because his wife was coloured. [More…]
When the Government excludes a man merely because he is coloured, that is unjust. [More…]
I suggest that, if the Government reads the record of this public controversy on the 3 cases I have mentioned, it will find that the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches in Australia react in the same way as the Australian Council of Churches, which condemned the Government for excluding people on the basis of colour. [More…]
Mr Whitlam did not have the numbers so he abandoned Mr Harradine and even now that man is not allowed to attend a Federal Council meeting of the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
It is one of many examples one can draw from the history of the Australian Labor Party of how its members say one thing one day and precisely the opposite the next day. [More…]
It is the policy enunciated by Mr Daly, the Labor Party’s spokesman on immigration for man) years, ft is the policy on which the Labor Parly went to countless elections. [More…]
The Attorney-General, the great law and order man, did not pursue him and put him in the courts because he knew he was on such weak ground that he Would not be able to pursue the matter. [More…]
Expatriate plant operators are paid an industry allowance of $4.50 a week, an attraction allowance of 95c a week and district allowance of $12.45 a week (married man) or $7.65 (single man). [More…]
I understand that last year an Act called the Environment Protection Act was introduced and that the Victorian Minister for Public Works, Mr Byrne - a man, obviously by his name, of intense and dynamic energy and interest - proposes to introduce 9 anti-pollution Bills in the spring session of the Victorian Parliament. [More…]
If not, will the Minister say whether SI 8 for a man and his wife and S4.50 for each child under 16 years of age is sufficient assistance in this day and age? [More…]
In reply to a question that I asked of one of the officers who appeared before the Estimates committee about the number of staff required to man the Northern Territory Electoral Office 1 was advised that the number was 3. [More…]
I would not blame him for the state the rolls are in because the task is far too great for one man. [More…]
It was stated that the Department had been trying to obtain additional assistance, but only in the previous 2 months had it been able to obtain a third man. [More…]
They felt that any man who set himself up as an authority on any one of the codes would be liable* to have his head cut off. [More…]
He is the man with whom Mr Gorton goes to stay when he goes big game fishing on the north west coast. [More…]
I know of one man who left the Department to join the Department of Social Services in South Australia which has a good field for developing and making artificial limbs. [More…]
That Department has developed a new technique whereby within a fortnight of an amputation a man can be returned to employment with an artificial limb. [More…]
This avoids the necessity of a man having to go through doctors to the Reparation Department and wait for the manufacture and fitting of an artificial limb. [More…]
The Minister has said that some recognition may be given to this man. [More…]
Here is a Minister recognising the qualifications of a man but relying on another Department to employ him. [More…]
That night at the club he said: Here is the man who can tell you - the architect responsible for the doors’. [More…]
Yet a man who has 12 years service is not able to obtain a loan for the purpose of purchasing a home. [More…]
Our amendment will extend eligibility for loans from the War Service Homes Division to allow a member of the permanent forces to construct a home for his family and to live in it, and not be forced to resign as happened in the case of the RAAF officer to whom I have referred. [More…]
The working man who is in receipt of the basic wage or even a tradesman’s rate cannot afford to obtain a loan at that rate of interest, nor can a white collar worker on the lower rungs of the clerical scale, particularly if he has at the same time to support a wife and young children. [More…]
Nothing has been said about why it was decided to provide this amount of $30m and I invite the Minister for Air (Senator DrakeBrock man), who represents the Minister for Primary Industry (Mr Sinclair), to tell us why. [More…]
It is written by basically one man. [More…]
This is a man, I presume, of great experience. [More…]
Whatever is done, no man’s reputation should be damaged. [More…]
Some are man made and some are beyond the control of man, but it is fair to recognise that there are difficulties which have become evident in the past few years. [More…]
There has been an accumulation of problems, firstly, in relation to weather and, secondly, in relation to the escalation of costs which can be said to be typical of many industries. [More…]
Their size limits to some extent the possibility of earning income at a level which one might wish to see for many growers. [More…]
There is also the man made problem of salinity of the water that is used for irrigation. [More…]
My view of Senator Laucke’s attitude in this Parliament is that he is not a man who is trying to do one thing in one place and another in another place. [More…]
I am reminded of the episode recently at the University of Melbourne in respect of which the Attorney-General (Senator Greenwood) held that a man who would not permit entry to the University would be committing a breach. [More…]
Can honourable senators imagine the power which a customs man will have on special warrant to enter a home - it could be a joint raid with the police - because of information received and, in many cases not revealed? [More…]
This has happened on many occasions. [More…]
Those of us who remain here and who sat with him in this place knew him as a kindly man, a man loyal to his political beliefs and fair to his political opponents, honourable in mind, in deed and in everything he put his will to do. [More…]
The late Ben Courtice was a man who rose from the ranks of the people to a most distinguished position in this community. [More…]
That alone is sufficient to be a tribute to his qualities as a man and . [More…]
as an Australian statesman. [More…]
I had the privilege of knowing Ben Courtice for many years, although I never had the privilege of serving with him in the Senate. [More…]
He was a kindly, soft spoken, retiring and rather reticent gentleman who had very deep and sincere convicitions on many issues. [More…]
Senator Courtice was an assiduous, earnest type of man who served the people of Queensland in an excellent manner. [More…]
It was a great tribute to him to have been selected to carry out the onerous task of administering the Department of Trade and Customs, lt has been stated publicly that he was chosen by his leader because his leader believed that he was a man of scrupulous honesty. [More…]
That is a great tribute to Senator Courtice, as it would be to any man in public life. [More…]
He was a man of great integrity, as were those of his family in his generation. [More…]
In my association with him I found him to have many good qualities. [More…]
He was a man of very even temperament, a man who was a good mixer, who was admired and trusted by his colleagues and respected very highly by those who differed with him politically. [More…]
That so many of his former colleagues should pay him this mark of respect, being the last one that they could pay him, indicates the affection in which he was held. [More…]
It is perhaps not inappropriate that I should pay my tribute to the late Senator Courtice because after I entered this chamber in 1951 he was for many years my closest personal friend and parliamentary colleague and in those years I had the opportunity of estimating the worth of his character and of enjoying the warmth of his friendship. [More…]
He set himself out to achieve a situation in which every man would have not only the right to work but also the. [More…]
He was a gentle man yet a man of strong and firm character. [More…]
He embellished a family record that was already one of great’ worth, for the Courtice family has produced in its time very many distinguished men. [More…]
I ask the Minister whether the man Edgley named in this firm is the same man who has specialised in bringing to Australia brilliant theatrical troupes, circuses and ballets, etc., from the Soviet Union, many of whose members refused to join Actors’ Equity. [More…]
A brief delay may then occur while additional staff is re-allocated from other airport duties to man extra exit gates. [More…]
We should widen man’s horizons and increase his dignity. [More…]
I have heard people at the United Nations in New York declaiming the wickedness of the South Africans and proclaiming democracy, justice, freedom and the rights of man. [More…]
Could we man it? [More…]
It is quite true that we could not have manned the ship immediately but the Navy has never had any difficulty in recruitment. [More…]
In my view, it would not have been at all difficult over 2 or 21 years to recruit and train a suitable crew - about 1,800 to 2,000 men would be involved - to man the Hermes’. [More…]
Gone are the days when a government representative can walk into some manufacturing firm, in either this country or some other part of the world, and get a piece of sophisticated equipment off the showroom floor like buying a car. [More…]
Also, I think we need to take into consideration that, to man this sophisticated equipment these days, we must have men who have been well trained to use it. [More…]
So on this question of danger to our sea lanes lel me refer to a very interesting article written by a man named Geoffrey Jukes, who is a Fellow in International Relations in the School of Pacific Studies at the Australian National University. [More…]
Nearly half the world’s tanker tonnage belongs to NATO countries, and when Japanese tankers; plus those registered in Liberia but owned inAmerica (and in the last resort likely to call on the United States Navy rather than the 200-man Liberian Navy for protection) are included. [More…]
Are Mr Hayden’s claims accurate that a family man in Victoria earning $10,000 a year pays only 60c weekly after claiming his tax deduction for medical and private ward hospital insurance, while a family man earning $3,000 a year has to make a net payment after tax deduction of $1.05 weekly for medical and public ward insurance? [More…]
From the beginning of our history and perhaps long before the white man came here Australia has had natura] disasters. [More…]
Certainly since the white man arrived here we have been subject to such disasters. [More…]
In Victoria, for example, the Chief Commissioner of Police is the man responsible for putting into effect any measures taken in an emergency under the State disaster plan. [More…]
Another man, Mr P. Toohey of Collinsville, claimed that Collinsville and Bowen civil defence workers had been forced to pay for fuel and repairs to their gear. [More…]
The severity of the drought with its heartbreaking effect on the man on the land and its drastic consequences to Australia can best be understood and appreciated when we remember that at that time for the first time in our history the irrigation areas of Mumimbidgee and Coleambally in New South Wales were included in the areas declared as drought areas. [More…]
They seem to think that everybody in a Commonwealth department is a con man or is trying to trample the States’ sovereignty into the dust. [More…]
There are so many ways in this field of creative federalism in which the States can be given leadership, such as by providing technical know-how. [More…]
One of the tragedies is that I can go to many little shire councils on the north coast of New South Wales - I assure honourable senators thatI do not go there to try to convert the shire councillors and get them to become members of the Labor Party - and yet strangely enough people at that level have a greater appreciation of what the Commonwealth Government should do than have the people in Macquarie Street in Sydney or Spring Street in Melbourne. [More…]
1 suppose that of all national disasters a fire is perhaps the only one which can be originated by man and is the result of man’s carelessness. [More…]
The others, I believe, are outside the area of man’s direct responsibility. [More…]
In this case he has behaved as a con man. [More…]
If a man holds the top position in this country and does not have the guts to carry out. [More…]
I was concerned firstly to ring the person who was the Chairman of the Federation of Australian Commercial Television Stations, who had said that censorship of this character would be resisted. [More…]
He informed me - Mr Cairns was the man to whom I spoke - tha; he had been told of this by an ‘Agc’ reporter who had rung him. [More…]
If Senator Carrick reads the judgment in that case he will notice that Mr Butler, one of the big wheels in BHP and a man to whom 1 think the Government gave a knighthood after the war, was castigated by the judge as a virtual industrial saboteur. [More…]
The AttorneyGeneral was involved with this man Matteson. [More…]
Yet, when a raid, an investigation or a visitation - whichever word the Attorney-General cares to use to describe it - was carried out on this woman’s home on Christmas Day, the Commonwealth Police did not report the fact to the Attorney-General. [More…]
One of the mistakes that police organisations make throughout Australia today is that when a policeman is involved they hold a police inquiry. [More…]
If a railway man is involved, they do not hold a railway inquiry. [More…]
If a Post Office man is involved, they do not hold a postal inquiry. [More…]
This should be the case whether it be a policeman or anybody else. [More…]
There will be troubles with police; they are human and they are a big body of people. [More…]
Today the justification for it lies in the strong conviction in our society that a man should not be compelled to give answers that might expose him to criminal punishment. [More…]
If we take as an example a man, his wife and 2 children we find that they are entitled to a maximum benefit of $35.50 a week. [More…]
What happens to a man and his wife? [More…]
This situation could affect many thousand young newly-weds who are making their way with all that that means. [More…]
No-one with any sympathy in his makeup could be but disturbed and concerned for the man or woman who is unemployed through no fault of his or her own. [More…]
If he is genuinely concerned about the worker and his inadequate income, why does Senator Brown add to the difficulties of these people, particularly the family man, by causing strikes and throwing these people out of work for weeks and weeks on end? [More…]
More particularly are we concerned for the family man who has a wife and 4 or 5 children to support. [More…]
I do not suggest by that that what is contained in the foreshadowed amendment is not germane to the purposes of the Social Services Act, but I think I should reply now to the issues that have been raised. [More…]
It is a sign of a real concern that we can increase the provision, for example, for a man, his wife and 4 children to $43 a week as an unemployment or sickness benefit. [More…]
The proposing of this amendment is typical of the procedure which has been used by the Australian Democratic Labor Party on so many occasions when social service measures have been before this chamber. [More…]
Under our proposition a minimum of $50 would have been provided for a man and wife and 2 children. [More…]
Secondly, regardless of whether he has made any such public statement, will he take up Mr Whitlam’* apparent offer to assist in apprehending a man for whom there is a current warrant of arrest for failure to appear in court to answer a charge? [More…]
1 have made public statements in which I have called upon the Leader of the Opposition in another place, Mr Whitlam, to indicate where he stands on this issue and I have also implied that he should assist the police in disclosing this man’s whereabouts. [More…]
I shall write to him asking him whether he will assist the Commonwealth Police to locale this man for whom the police are searching. [More…]
Thus our banking legislation does nothing to protect the average man and woman who pays excessive interest rates to finance companies for the vast variety of goods, especially consumer durables such as motor cars and refrigerators, which are usually quoted as illustrations of our national affluence. [More…]
The decrepit looking man used the expression: Get them off; I have never seen such disgusting, undignified attire’. [More…]
In reaching a conclusion I think we want to look at the fashion of dress throughout the ages from the very time of primitive man when he emerged from the stage where he wrapped himself in animal skins for the purpose or protecting himself from the cold. [More…]
One adopted a style of dress if one could alford it for the sole purpose of showing that one was some exception to the ordinary man and that, in effect, one was not a worker. [More…]
When considering the demands that committee work makes upon all senators we must bear in mind that some of the old and bold among us obviously are not able to give as much as others to committee work. [More…]
When it comes to the manning of committees, if we leave out from our con- sideration the 5 Ministers, the Presiding Officer and Chairman of Committees, and when we take into account also the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate (Senator Murphy) and Leader of the Democratic Labor Party (Senator Gair), as well as the Whips who have other duties to perform, we are putting upon the remaining senators a load which is out of all proportion to what can reasonably be expected of them. [More…]
This situation arises simply because we have not enough bodies to man the committees. [More…]
If I dug hard enough into my brain I think I could mention the man’s name. [More…]
He … is by far the richest man in the Mildura cemetery. [More…]
I conclude as I started: I regret that a young man decides to take this course but he takes it with full knowledge of the position. [More…]
In the words of the AttorneyGeneral, he had no alternative because this Parliament had imposed upon the magistrate the responsibility of sending this man to gaol. [More…]
Everyone understands that this man refused to comply with the National Service Act. [More…]
He said nothing derogatory about this man. [More…]
This man has the background of a small farming community. [More…]
How absurd in a democracy for grown men to suggest that if a contravention of the law is incurred consciously by a man, and he appears before a magistrate and that law requires that as an alternative to 2 years compulsory military service he should be subjected to 18 months civil imprisonment, they should say: T refuse to do the military service because 1 consider that the Act is unjust’. [More…]
How is it possible for the traditions which constitute our rule of law to continue to be observed if an Attorney-General is to be permitted to involve the Australian Labor Party in the matter of a man before the court simply because that, man happens to be a member of and a candidate for that Party, as well as a man whose case has not yet been tried? [More…]
What would be the ethical conduct of such a man who was confronted with a situation in which someone who he knew or met or had referred to him had committed an offence? [More…]
By giving support and protection to Mr Johnston, the Victorian ALI’ is assisting a man for whom an arrest warrant ha.s been issued in accordance with that law. [More…]
He is a man not unaware of the law. [More…]
Without naming the individual to whom I now wish to refer, I would remind the Senate that just at this time there is a member of the same Party as the AttorneyGeneral, who is a member of a certain State parliament, a man who in the past admitted having engaged in a most flagrant abuse of the law and who is awaiting charge on a serious offence. [More…]
If the Attorney-General were as dedicated to the law as he says he is he would repudiate this Liberal Party member of a certain State Parliament and would call upon the Prime Minister and the Premier of the State in which that man is a member of Parliament to repudiate him. [More…]
He does not intend to do it because that man is a member of the political party to which be belongs. [More…]
The hero of the Liberal Party was a man who defied this terrible oppressive law in relation to meat rationing. [More…]
We have disowned that terrible past when we supported heroic Bill Dargan, the man who would not fill in his ration cards’. [More…]
He has deliberately used his office to discredit this man Johnston before he comes to trial. [More…]
As Senator Murphy has pointed out, it was a national scandal in the United States when President Nixon made comments about the guilt of Charles Manson who was engaged with other persons in a most diabolical series of murders in California. [More…]
The people who were criticising President Nixon for what he did on that occasion were not saying that they had some sympathy for Manson or that, if what Manson and the other persons who were accused with him were alleged to have done had in fact been done, it was somehow to be commended or at least not to be criticised. [More…]
When President Nixon was challenged about what he had said about Manson he did not say: ‘Those people who are criticising me are sympathisers of Manson’. [More…]
That, if nothing else, shows the difference between the moral fibre of Nixon and that of a man like Senator Greenwood. [More…]
So casual is the Attorney-General in his approach to the truth, so casual is the Attorney-General in his approach to justice, so casual is the Attorney-General in his approach to the spirit of the rule of law, so imbued with fanaticism for selfadvancement and for the denigration of the Australian Labor movement is the AttorneyGeneral that not only does he set out to discredit people who are awaiting trial but also he falsely maligns in this Parlia- meat people who have been tried already and acquitted, and never once do we find sufficient character in the man to apologise for it. [More…]
For the, Australian Labor Party, having some pretention to persuading the people to give it power after the next election, to use a man like Mr Johnston as a carcass around which to generate a public campaign is a despicable performance for any organisation. [More…]
In that respect we heard positively revolting sanctimoniousness this afternoon from a man who has imbibed the substance of the principle of the rule of law which induces everyone to abstain from prejudicial statements about persons accused of criminal offences before the courts. [More…]
The Labor Party is supporting this man who is on the run, as one newspaper states this morning; a man who is defying the elementary administrative processes of appearing before the court when the court is about to hear the case and give judgment. [More…]
The Attorney-General has said: This man is evading his obligations under the National Service Act. [More…]
Why can the Labor Party not endorse as a candidate a man who does not have a criminal record or who has not broken the law? [More…]
Therefore the very suggestion that the Labor Party has done wrong by endorsing a man awaiting trial is contempt of court and prejudicial to the trial of this you nig individual. [More…]
However, in the case under discussion a man has been found guilty before he has had a trial. [More…]
Because the Labor Party has endorsed this man, who has not committeed a crime at this stage, as a candidate for an election it is the subject of condemnation by honourable senators on the other side of the chamber. [More…]
This attitude should have been adopted because this man awaits trial when he is apprehended. [More…]
lt is a matter of fact that the AttorneyGeneral stated that this young man for reasons best known to himself considered himself entitled to disregard a summons of the court and then to evade the warrant of arrest. [More…]
The Attorney-General has not only duties which embrace not only this young man in question but also a responsibility in relation to the community which must be observed, too. [More…]
1 know that references were made by the Attorney-General to the position of the Australian Labor Party in condoning, encouraging or supporting - whatever verb may be used - the conduct of this young man. [More…]
They have been made by a most eminent legal man, Senator Murphy Q.C., who has quoted chapter and verse a number of precedents in relation to the matters we are debating this afternoon. [More…]
In other words, he is a man who is being sought by the police for refusing to undergo his trial, not because he is guilty or anything at all but because duc process of law requires that people should have their fair trial. [More…]
Is it suggested that the magistrate is biased in some way, or is it suggested that the magistrate is incompetent in some way and would be so incompetent as to be unable to distinguish between a comment made by the Attorney-General about a fact well known to the magistrate, that is that the man has failed to turn up? [More…]
Surely to goodness a magistrate who made the order would know that the man had failed to turn up. [More…]
Is slating that going to prejudice the man’s fair trial when the magistrate knows it already? [More…]
That course of conduct was a course of conduct by which the man refuses to front up to a court, refuses to take his fair trial, refuses to defend himself, and refuses to comply with the due process of law. [More…]
T cannot see for one moment how it can be argued by the ALP thai that constitutes a contempt of the court in some way or prejudices in some way the fair trial of the man. [More…]
He is a man who is prepared to avoid standing up to what the law requires and what in all other circumstances would be regarded as being the appropriate way to determine whether or not he is guilty. [More…]
The man deliberately went to the ALP executive meeting on the Saturday preceding that statement by the Attorney-General. [More…]
Senator Wheeldon referred to the man in the Liberal Party in another Stale who is awaiting trial, and he asked whether we were condemning that man. [More…]
That man is standing his trial. [More…]
and he may well have been regarded properly at the time as a man who could be looked up to. [More…]
Amnesty would be appropriate if the man was guilty of something. [More…]
In fact what Mr Holding has done is to suggest that the man is guilty. [More…]
This is the extraordinary part of the manoeuvres to try to protect Mr Whitlam from becoming further involved in this matter. [More…]
Where is Mr Crawford today, the man who is harbouring, encouraging and supporting Mr Johnston in his flouting of the law? [More…]
A few years ago Mr Whitlam was prepared to describe Mr Crawford as a man who was disloyal to the ALP, disruptive of its electoral prospects and destructive of all that it stood for and that it was disgraceful that he was a member of the ALP Executive. [More…]
He said that the Attorney-General interfered with the fair trial of this man and that he condemned this man in some way. [More…]
Mr Johnston said all the things which Senator Murphy alleged were the terribly heinous offences committed by the Attorney-General in prejudicing the fair trial of this man. [More…]
The one thing which is beyond doubt is that the Australian Labor Party is prepared to make a sham of this Act and of our law and our legal system, lt is prepared for political gimmickry purposes to hold to ridicule the whole of the legal system, to endorse as a candidate - admittedly he was the only applicant for the position, which shows the depths to which the Labor Party has sunk - a man whose self-confessed attitude towards the matter is this: ‘I have a compaign of legal defiance, of due processes of law and 1 am prepared to continue defying the due processes of law so long as 1 think it suits my political purposes’. [More…]
Mr Whitlam said: I am not going to assert that any man is guilty.’ [More…]
For far too long under this Government too many people have been subjected to smears, jeers and traducement, the only reason being that they have been prepared to stand up against this oppressive and repressive administration. [More…]
He then said - and be it to his everlasting shame - that I had said a man was guilty of an offence before he had been brought to court. [More…]
He is a man who now, as a member of the Australian Labor Party and that Party’s endorsed Labor candidate for the next election, has been served with a notice to attend for call-up. [More…]
It provided the astonishing spectacle of a major political party feting a young man who is supposed to be campaigning for public office on its behalf while he is on the run from the law. [More…]
That is for the ALP to give its support to a man for whom an arrest warrant has been issued - is to hurl ridicule and contempt upon the rule of law, the cornerstone of the political system which a Labor Government would be obliged to administer and protect. [More…]
Out of his own mouth he constantly accused - and I challenge him to look at Hansard tomorrow - this man Johnston of already having been proved guilty. [More…]
Quite apart from this legal argument, which some may consider to be a hair splitting one, 1 find something odious in the spectacle of an able bodied man who has never heard a shot fired in anger standing up here day after day and delivering sermons to the youth of this country about their obligations under the National Service Act. [More…]
One would be entitled to assume that the chief law officer of the Crown, a figure who is traditionally recognised by the Bar as the leader of the profession - a man, moreover, who is one of Her Majesty’s Counsel - would have absorbed the traditions and conventions of his high office and would attempt to act up to them. [More…]
Firstly, as every layman knows, let alone the chief law officer of the Crown, under our system of law a man’s innocence is presumed until his guilt has been proved. [More…]
The duty which the law throws upon the Attorney-General in regard to putting the criminal law in motion is one of the most anxious and responsible which any man could well have thrown upon him. [More…]
This man who has constantly challenged us to prove that an allegation of guilt has been made against Mr Johnston, interjected at one stage that we were harbouring a criminal. [More…]
He has publicly proclaimed the guilt of a man who is yet to be tried. [More…]
As Senator Murphy pointed out - I think it was referred to also by Senator Wheeldon, and this underlines the point I am making - did anyone believe that Charles Manson, the mass killer in the United States, was not guilty? [More…]
But when the President of the United Stales expressed his horror at the crimes of Charles Manson before Manson had been brought to trial there was a cry of protest all over the United States against this premature public assertion by the President of the gUilt of a man whom most Americans, as f have said, privately considered to be guilty. [More…]
The AttorneyGeneral’s unforgivable offence - an offence for which he boasts he is unrepentant and boasts that he will repeat - is to assert a man’s guilt before that man has been tried. [More…]
The Attorney-General has made strong comment regarding Barry Johnston’s nonappearance to answer a warrant for his arrest and has criticised that section of the Australian Labor Party - I emphasise that it is a section only - which supports Barry Johnston and gives him shelter when he is a wanted man. [More…]
It is interesting to note the manner in which this matter has arisen. [More…]
Senator Marriott smokes too many, that is why he is too thin. [More…]
Today we see the hounding of a man by the Attorney-General of this country. [More…]
After all, as we were reminded, this man is innocent in the eyes of the law and in the eyes of anyone - by Senator Greenwood - until he is proved guilty. [More…]
Is this the action of an impartial man, a man holding the highest legal office in the land, a man who, once he is appointed to the high position of AttorneyGeneral, should be beyond the nit picking of politics. [More…]
Senator Greenwood is supposed to be a man of religion. [More…]
Senator Greenwood was a strong Gorton man until some weeks before the Prime Minister’s downfall. [More…]
So, we have here Senator Greenwood, the man of the church, the superstar. [More…]
It is a pretty cheap political gimmick to sneer at a man for what he did or did not do in the war. [More…]
Mr Whitlam has been projecting himself as a safe right wing, almost Liberal kind of man. [More…]
The AttorneyGeneral is saying that this man will neither accept his lawful obligation nor will he submit to the penalty. [More…]
He said: ‘Why, the man got on television and said, “If I go back to court I will probably go to gaol”.’ [More…]
What right has he to say that this man’s words amount to a confession of guilt? [More…]
Leaving aside altogether the question of imputing guilt to this man, to dis- parage him can be prejudicial also. [More…]
What has the Attorney-General done day after day but disparage this man. [More…]
What right did the Attorney-General have to set out to issue public statements about this man in order to generate the matter into a national controversy? [More…]
If I get hold of this case and if I start talking about this defendant, and he is a Labor Party man, and if I build it up and use it as a vehicle to attack the Labor Party, we can do some good out of it.’ [More…]
I hope that early action will be taken in relation to this incident involving this young man who has been scarred for life by the indignities that he had to suffer during his very short sojourn in the Royal Australian Air Force. [More…]
Let me say at the outset that it is firm Government policy to ensure to the extent possible that no man should suffer unavoidable hardship or restriction in connexion with his employment because of his national service liability. [More…]
-I have adopted the course of incorporating that letter in Hansard in order to draw to the attention of any honourable senator who is interested in this matter that it slates in logical and clear terms that the departmental investigation up to date has shown that any termination of the apprenticeship was not by reason of an obligation under the National Service Act and, in addition, that an undertaking has been obtained from an associated firm that when this young man is finished with his national service obligations he will be accepted by that firm for employment in the position that had been previously discussed with him. [More…]
I preface my question, which is directed to the Minister representing the Minister for Primary Industry, by saying that I presume he realises that if a man is being retrained under the national service retraining scheme or under an industrial retraining scheme his wife’s income does not affect his living allowance. [More…]
It is also relevant to note that the Special Committee on Problems of the Environment (SCOPE), a high-level international body established in 1968 by the international Council of Scientific Unions, has appointed an ad hoc Committee on Man-made Lakes, so that the subject is by no means being neglected internationally. [More…]
Apart from current investigations, land surveys by CSlRO’s Division of Land Research in the Old-Victoria region in 1949 and 1952 provided extensive basic information about climate, geology, landforms and soils of the Ord area and examined the relationships between factors of the physical environment and growth amd distribution of native vegetation when still little disturbed by human activity. [More…]
changes in weed flora and insect pest species following introduction of irrigated crop production, and other natural and man influenced ecological relationships have since been made by CSIRO scientists and the results published. [More…]
There is not one man or woman in this Parliament or in any other Parliament in Australia who could stand on his or her feet ana proudly say that the pioneers of this country are being well looked after by any government, Commonwealth or State. [More…]
The Opposition believes that the elderly people of Australia - the people who did so much in former years to make Australia what it is today and who have lived through 2 world wars and one depression - should be assisted as much as is humanly possible by government so that they can enjoy healthy, active and useful lives in the Australian community. [More…]
He is a most pragmatic and sensible man with a very good and applied mind. [More…]
Admittedly, he is a man who has worked in the field of university education but a man with great experience in the practical work in a community of running enterprises. [More…]
Mr Lane, a member of the Commonwealth Grants Commission, a resident of Queensland and a person with a very keen and perceptive mind introduced the topic, together with Mr Colin Clark, whose views are not necessarily accepted by everybody, myself included, but a provocative mind, a long term student of Australia’s problems and a man with a view but not necessarily the view that honourable senators and I might hold at any given point of time. [More…]
But he certainly is a man with a view. [More…]
Fiscal Adjustment in the Australian Federation - Horizontal Balance’ was the next topic introduced by Professor Russell Mathews, the head of the Department of Accounting and Public Finance in the Australian National University, essentially a most practical man who at the present time is engaged in helping the island territories of the Pacific in the problems of their revenue raising devices and their taxation patterns. [More…]
With him was Mr Bellis of Tasmania. [More…]
Mr Bellis is an eminent officer of the Tasmanian Treasury who came to Canberra to be with us on this occasion. [More…]
At the seminar to which I referred the Town Clerk of, I think, the Box Hill Municipal Council in Victoria, a man with immense and growing urban problems, dealt in a most revealing and most interesting way with the problems of local government. [More…]
Let Mr Dunstan stand up and say that he believes in State sovereignty, that he wants the restoration of sovereignty, that he is opposed to the Australian Labor Party platform, and I will say to Mr Dunstan that he is an honest and courageous man. [More…]
Incidentally, if honourable senators opposite want me to pay a tribute to a living Labor man, I pay a tribute to Mr Sheahan, who in my judgment did a good job as Minister for Health in New South Wales. [More…]
One other major point I should put in outlining the significance of the Slates is that although the Commonwealth - and here I pay tribute to a Labor man - largely due to the initiation of Mr Arthur Calwell commenced an immigration programme which 1 hope that this Government will go on to maintain and to expand- [More…]
lt costs the poor man as much as it does the rich man. [More…]
I suppose that as he is a fairly well read man on world affairs he would know that there was much nostalgic feeling about Europe after the Great War and before World War II. [More…]
leading statesman said: ‘Europe will never be the same again.’ [More…]
I am not a vindictive man but. [More…]
The coal tribunal argues that the 30 minutes for which he walks amounts to only so many man hours and so on. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite might say: ‘Look at the bureaucracy that emanated from the Beveridge system in England’. [More…]
It happens on many occasions. [More…]
A man might be suffering from a hernia or something else and will not go to hospital. [More…]
There is talk about an authoritarian government, but let us remember it is not the Labor Party that is directing this man to go into a brick pit; it is the Minister for Labour and National Service. [More…]
He is a busy man, writing letters all day long. [More…]
Is it a fact that currently the cost of public ward hospital insurance and medical insurance to a man supporting a wife and 2 children in Victoria, after claiming his tax deductions for the cost of this insurance, is $1.05 a week on an income of $3,000 per annum, but private ward insurance and medical insurance would cost only 60c a week on an income of $20,000 per annum? [More…]
Would it not be consistent and in the interest of the family man that the deduction should be about $750 per annum? [More…]
As recently as 16th February, the man who aspires to become the Federal member for Mcpherson, Mr Howard Richter, the endorsed Country Party candidate, made a public statement which was reported in the ‘Fassifern Guardian’ of that date. [More…]
Not only is this man the endorsed Country Party candidate for the Federal seat of Mcpherson but also he is a VicePresident of the Country Party in Queensland and, I understand, a member of the Federal Executive of the Australian Country Party. [More…]
In Australia it will be a struggle for the average working man to buy a colour television set at a price, as I read in the Press, which was estimated to be 51,000. [More…]
Here is one man who hates the employers and another one who refers to all the big companies and tells us the profits they make. [More…]
Senator Poyser, in his usual alert manner, prompts me about the Royal Automobile Club of Victoria which raised the same point about motor vehicles. [More…]
Man does not live by bread alone. [More…]
Many other factors have been increasing our cost of living. [More…]
Government supporters should not run away with the idea that because a man has a ticket in the Labor Party and waves it about,everyone will say that he is right. [More…]
Tasmania is a small place. [More…]
The manager said to me that it was a case of doing that or going out of business. [More…]
I went further up the road and talked to a man who ran a very small business. [More…]
The farmer has produced more per man for less return than any other section of the community. [More…]
The way in which the farmer has carried on under the conditions, received less and less and paying more and more in costs, and the fact that so many of them have been able to survive at all are tributes to their tenacity in sticking to their jobs. [More…]
I do not know whether Senator Lillico directed his remarks to the constitutional propriety of the reference of the matter to the committee, but, despite what may have been said about the power conferred on Parliament by the decision of the High Court in the concrete pipes case, I refer him to what was said by Mr Hughes, a distinguished lawyer and a man who was considered by the Government to be sufficiently equipped to hold the position of Attorney-General. [More…]
I heard of the case of a man who had set himself up in the Gosford area in the ready mixed concrete business. [More…]
I am gravely concerned at what 1 have learned in the last 12 hours of the methods employed by the Commonwealth Police in arresting a young man named Robert Adrian Bissett. [More…]
The young man to whom I refer was a draft resister, not a draft dodger or a draft evader. [More…]
The address of this young man is Flat 2, 8 Kelvinside Road, Noble Park, Victoria. [More…]
I want to ascertain from the Attorney-General in due course information about the conduct of the police and the way in which this man was arrested, which was quite contrary to the norm in the ordinary course of the administration of the law. [More…]
I wish to raise a matter which relates to a national serviceman. [More…]
I refer to information I have received about the apprehension and gaoling of a young man and the unfair manner in which he has been treated by the courts of this country and by the Commonwealth police. [More…]
This is the only point at which it seems to me that justice has been done to this young man. [More…]
Not even Darcy Dugan would have these rights taken away from him, yet we find this young man of 22 years in a situation where he was unable to put before the courts a proper defence. [More…]
Has the Minister noted that Dr Fowler, the man who first isolated the acanthamoeba responsible for meningitis, is reported to have stated that this organism exists in all Australian water supplies but that it is not likely to multiply to dangerous proportions except under hot conditions such as in Port Augusta, South Australia, where the surface water pipeline is sometimes subjected to intense sun temperatures? [More…]
In this context, where there has been a posthumous award to the relatives of a person who has earned one of the highest orders that any man can hope to achieve, I shall not reflect on the question. [More…]
The steel works at Port Kembla employ many such people. [More…]
Such a man might be a witness of an industrial accident. [More…]
Clearly the evidence contained in such a statement would be admissible as oral evidence if the man were persent: . [More…]
But because of his cultural background and the circumstances in which he finds himself, such a man may put into a statement matters which just will not stand up under cross-examination. [More…]
He may feel that his job is in peril in some way if he does not give the answers which are, suggested to him by a foreman. [More…]
If the evidence is to have any real weight, I suggest that it would need to be made by the man in person and would need to be tested in cross-examination. [More…]
The man who can leave his unit and, due to an evil influence, put himself in the position of communicating with the enemy and of informing the enemy of the dispatch of aircraft or the departure of troop shipments and thereby enable the enemy to cause death to his comrades who have been fighting the enemy in reliance upon mutual loyalty, to my way of thinking, should be punished. [More…]
One has only to see a film depicting a wartime story to see the villain, the trator and the con man, and when the con man comes under the influence of the enemy he becomes the traitor. [More…]
We have achieved something if one man is deterred by the historic provision that we have had until now, where the penalty is the extreme penalty. [More…]
1 would say that if we accepted that the man who traitorously, with 4 or 5 others or alone, delivers his own post to the enemy or corresponds with the enemy to enable a ship to be torpoeded within a couple of hours of its departure, at a time when we have sent troops to the battle line and have required our garrisons to face the enemy, should not be subject to such a rigorous provision of the law as the penalty of death, we. [More…]
What Senator Wright is doing and what Senator Greenwood is doing in a more realistic, less picturesque and less melodramatic manner is fighting a desperate rearguard action in the face of the express opinion of the Senate that the death penalty is a barbarous, outmoded, and uncivilised way of punishing people who have committed a dreadful offence. [More…]
What we do not agree with is that we deter someone from doing this or prevent this from hap- pening by doing the evil barbarous thing of putting that man to death. [More…]
I know he will be embarrassed to have me refer to it, but at the risk of embarrassing him, 1 say he is a man who should be entitled to feel as much indignation about, acts of treason, about actions that have let the country down, as anybody in this chamber. [More…]
having looked at all these dreadful acts by human beings, comes down on the side of mercy. [More…]
If we are talking about treason or about murders outside the ordinary private scale of murders, these have already been taken into account by those of us who are opposed to taking the life of a human being in reprisal for the most dreadful conduct by human beings. [More…]
It really makes my gall rise to sec this man over here, who applauded the murder of thousands of people in Vietnam, being so tender about the taking of a single life as to advocate its punishment by the taking of another life by the State. [More…]
We who have thought of this and who have adopted a philosophical attitude towards the taking of human life have considered all these examples and, having taken all these matters into account, believe that the taking of life by the state is still impermissible under any circumstances. [More…]
I preface what I have to say by expressing the greatest contempt, that 1 can possibly summon against a miserable expression from a professional man on the floor of the Senate, under privilege, amounting to criminal defamation of- [More…]
One was going to the house of a man who had committed murder. [More…]
As for the law setting an example, I would think that if those pursuers had been fortunate enough to be surrounded by force so that the criminal could have been overpowered without being killed, in a case of sufficiently heinous murder, the state would set a very good example by taking the life of the man who had taken life in such disgraceful circumstances. [More…]
A young policeman, having fallen in love with another girl, strangled in bed his own wife, who was 8 months pregnant. [More…]
I support Senator Wright’s amendment which appears lo me to be a manifestly just provision to protect those who risk their lives io protect society. [More…]
The circumstances of the case were, that a policeman had been murdered in Caulfield in particularly revolting circumstances. [More…]
The warders whose duty it was lo guard this man were, on 2 subsequent occasions, murderously attacked - in one case with a knife and in /mother with an implement. [More…]
J.t is understandable that those statistics would be as they are because if a man has committed a particularly violent crime such as armed robbery and has wounded somebody. [More…]
What more has he to lose by shooting down a policeman in an effort to escape? [More…]
If it did, whatever may be my beliefs about the taking of human life in the circumstances that we have discussed here tonight - and I voted for the second reading of this Bill - we owe it to those people to whom we give such tasks on behalf of society to hold on to any deterrent whatsoever. [More…]
In the fina) analysis their lives are more precious than those whose lives we threaten to take if they go to the extreme of murdering a policeman or a warder acting in the course of duty. [More…]
One man may commit a particularly atrocious sex murder and be found not guilty of murder’ because he is not responsible for his action. [More…]
This does not mean that if we retain the death penalty a man who kills a policeman at the moment of committing a crime, without really intending to kill the policeman, necessarily will be subject to the extreme penalty at all. [More…]
But if he killed a policeman in the circumstances I outlined earlier - that is while he was endeavouring to escape from the responsibility for a crime already committed - if he was prepared to kill callously because he knew that no further retribution could be made against him, I think that is a different degree and I would be happy to leave it for our courts to determine, as we. [More…]
If there were some particular event in one year, such as a particular action on the part of one man, mad or otherwise, who shot it out with police officers, there could be a dramatic rise in the number of deaths of police officers irrespective qf the existence of the death penalty. [More…]
A number of girls were punished for talking to a white man employed on the mission. [More…]
He handled the criticism in a very dignified manner by saying on the next occasion he spoke that he appreciated the letters he had received and the criticisms he had received and he hoped that the criticisms he offered would be received in the same way by all those people who had been criticising him. [More…]
All of us who knew him remember him as a very sincere man. [More…]
As has been said, he was a quiet man who had 2 particular interests. [More…]
He had an abiding interest in the future of Papua New Guinea on which he was particularly well-informed and to which he directed his attention and the attention of the Senate on many occasions. [More…]
He acted virtually as assistant Whip in this place for many years. [More…]
He was a man of quiet dedication and high principles. [More…]
He was a man of great sincerity with a very friendly personality and a kind nature. [More…]
I had the amazing experience of one organisation of manufacturers saying to me: ‘Just before this happened there Was only one man in the Cabinet whom we felt we could approach with confidence on matters of concern to the manufacturing industry and, in particular, in regard to tariffs - only one.’ [More…]
If you people in the business and manufacturing fields feel that you are not represented in the Government, that there are not the people in the Parliament to- put your case, why not set to work and choose from your own ranks people of experience and ability who have a liking for a political career?’ [More…]
The answer I received - honourable senators can probably anticipate what it was - was that it is not possible to get a young executive of ability and drive, the sort of man who ought to be in the Government of this country, to stand for parliament because the salary is such that he would not be able to afford to live and to educate a family on what he would receive as a member of parliament. [More…]
When members of the business and manufacturing community complain to me, as they frequently do, that they cannot get their case put, that they are unable to have adequate consideration given to their views, my answer to them is that perhaps the community is getting value. [More…]
I say straight out that I believe that the business and manufacturing community have let the side down by not playing their part in the legislative and representative sphere. [More…]
The Government has taken the attitude - as a representative of a rural party in this House I find that farmers throughout the countryside also generally take the attitude - that tariff protection certainly disadvantages the man who produces original goods and who attempts to sell them on the export market. [More…]
I feel proud as an Australian that over the period of the establishment of general tariff procedures a system has been set up whereby a small country such as Australia - small as regards population and its number of manufacturers - has been able , in .1972 to develop and to establish some wonderful manufacturing organisations. [More…]
Secondly I would like to say that he is a bold man who makes comments on ladies’ dress. [More…]
He might say that the evidence this man has presented to the committee should be published because the public has an interest in the question. [More…]
The indigenous people of this country prior to the coming of the white man were a deeply spiritual and religious people. [More…]
With the coming of the white man our culture was broken down in many respects. [More…]
We find that with the coming of the white man the beliefs of Christianity were embraced by many of the Aboriginal people of this nation. [More…]
Its adherents do not believe in many of the things that we believe in, such as dancing, going to the movies and other things that they regard as being of this world. [More…]
They believe there are many things that should not be used by the mission’s community. [More…]
I ask you, Mr Acting Deputy President, and honourable senators, whether a female of the age of 29 years could be regarded as a girl or as a woman. [More…]
This woman admits that she was not gaoled but was cautioned by the councillors of the community that to wear a skirt of that length was regarded by the Aboriginal people as being immoral. [More…]
This woman did not agree with the councillors; so she left the mission station and went to live in Mt Isa. [More…]
I remember living in Queensland when many people referred to Aborigines as niggers. [More…]
The statement was made by a man who in Queensland is regarded by the Aboriginal people as the knife man. [More…]
He is called the knife man because he believes the only solution to the Aboriginal problem in Australia is sterilisation. [More…]
I wonder whether the Labor Party is just a little bit afraid that perhaps the Aborigines might one day build up to such a stage that they will be too many in number for the Labor Party to be able to control and use for political purposes, such as they are using today. [More…]
This man had his hands handcuffed behind his back and then was viciously assaulted. [More…]
I think it is one of the great tragedies of life that a man who has been appointed to this Senate, as is the case with Senator Bonner, to defend the rights of his people now demonstrates that the only speech that he can make in respect of Aborigines is one that attacks somebody who is aligned with the Aboriginal cause. [More…]
The great bulk of the speech delivered by Senator Bonner was directed at defending a bunch of white people in the Department of Aboriginal and Island Affairs in Queensland who have been kicking Aboriginals to their mental death for so many years that it does not matter. [More…]
If I was associated with some of the statements that Senator Bonner has been making about Palm Island not only would I be ashamed of myself as an Aboriginal but also would I be equally ashamed of myself as a white man. [More…]
A survey was carried out in this area and white authority decided that a black man needed 24 gallons of water a day but that the daily need of a white man was more than 120 gallons. [More…]
Surely the world should not be informed maliciously and falsely that a man of his standing in the community plays Aborigines off as political issues. [More…]
He is the man who is representing the Aborigines. [More…]
I would be remiss in my responsibility if I did not congratulate Senator Keeffe on his great defence of coloured Australians, when compared with the attack made on him by one of their race in defence of the white man’s treatment of Aborigines in Queensland. [More…]
Senator Keeffe, who may not have known of the denial, stated that the miniskirted woman was sent from the mission station, I think by the inspector, because of her short skirt. [More…]
If the purpose was to correct a wrong, what was the purpose of bringing in the name of Dr Everingham who is a well known spokesman for the Labor Party on matters affecting the Aboriginal people. [More…]
What hypocrisy on the part of this man who dares to get up and accuse someone else. [More…]
Man’s love is of man’s life a thing apart, Tis woman’s whole existence. [More…]
It is a strange situation that a party which in its platform advocates in many other fields - as 1 will demonstrate - the abolition of the means test because it is discriminatory, advocates a means test in this field and this field exclusively. [More…]
In the other major field of education, that is tertiary education or university education, the Labor Party platform explicitly says that education at the university level shall be provided for all students at no fee so that the rich man’s son or daughter can without fear or favour receive education to (he university level equally with the poor man’s son and daughter. [More…]
Now that a man is old enough to vote and is prepared to offer himself as a candidate, Mr Giles and his party- [More…]
He fought for his country and he is very concerned at the way the Government is now trying to prevent a man from standing for Parliament so that he can do the very thing that Mr Giles said he ought to do, namely, get in here and try to repeal these offensive and oppressive laws . [More…]
I have no intention of telling the honourable senator what happens within the confines of the Labor Party, just as he will not tell me what has happened in Tasmania and the South Australian Government senators will not tell me what has happened and what is happening in that State. [More…]
But, when this young man gets into his muck-raking, I genuinely say to him that I feel very sorry and I make an appeal to him to lift himself out of that. [More…]
I was surprised that a man of the standing of the author of that article should make such an attack. [More…]
Will the Leader of the Government in the Senate tell us whether, as far as this Government is aware, the mass murderer Lt Calley is still enjoying conditions that might be called luxurious, with his girlfriend being permitted to visit him, and being able to make hundreds of thousands of dollars by publishing his memoirs at a time when this Government is apparently objecting to a young man being granted leave for study because he has been imprisoned in Western Australia for a breach of the National Service Act? [More…]
Can the Minister give any reason why Commonwealth police would refuse to recognise a young man out on bail who has a duty to report to them daily when that young man approached them on his own at Warnambool on Saturday morning last and why, when approached by the same young man in company with a member of this Parliament the same Commonwealth police agreed to recognise him? [More…]
So far ahead - almost 20 years at the limit - it is not given to man to make predictions which can be stated as accurate; nor is it possible to suggest more than orders of probability or of intensity of threats against Australian interests. [More…]
I would say that if they did they must have great confidence in him as a man who would genuinely represent the producers, and that is why they elect him. [More…]
I have heard it said that the dairy industry is in a state of poverty because the net annual income of many dairy farmers is about $2,000. [More…]
I could devote a great deal of time to emphasising the many benefits that come from living on a dairy farm. [More…]
The person who is returned as a representative of the producers surely must be the most appropriate man to represent their interests. [More…]
Indeed, it has been said that some packers may find themselves in a situation where they are able to command the support of producers who must sell through them. [More…]
I would think that there must be enough character in the producers today to elect the type of man that they wish to have on the Board. [More…]
That is true, but many beekeepers in New South Wales are nomads by occupation. [More…]
Once they are on the track chasing the honey there is no opportunity, especially having regard to the rural situation today, for a man to earn anything other than from the honey industry. [More…]
figure of 200 hives was arrived at as the number which would give as many people as possible the right to vote and to stand for election to the Board. [More…]
At the same time it was perhaps the lowest figure which would give a man a living while keeping bees full time and not part time as distinct from those who have only a few hives or who have under 200 hives. [More…]
I think he was quite, shocked that the man who had 200 hives had a gross income of only just over $2,000. [More…]
I say to the honourable senator that a man with 200 hives would be a lot worse off if he had to face up to the costs of a 35-hour week. [More…]
We should be disgusted that the Senate provides such meagre assistance for a man who works for the people of Australia. [More…]
The idea is that here we should have an employing authority; he should be one man; and he should be a statutory authority responsible to the Minister and outside the Public Service. [More…]
So on this point, and on many other points in this legislation, the Australian Teachers Federation as I understand it has found a comity of view with the Government. [More…]
In the deliberations of the Senate Standing Committee, expert after expert who gave evidence before the Committee constantly stressed that it was not desirable that the education departments of the States should have control of the training of teachers who later would man the schools run by those education departments. [More…]
We have heard debate about whether the proposal in the Bill for a one man commission is appropriate or whether there should be a 3-man commission. [More…]
My colleagues, Senators Davidson, Carrick and Jessop, to whom I listened with great interest, demonstrated the soundness of the one-man commissionership to a degree that makes it unnecessary for me to add anything in that respect. [More…]
The important thing is that the question whether there is a single Commissioner or a 3-man commission dissolves into insignificance when we are reminded that the Teaching Service is to be given access to the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission in the event of any dispute or difference between the employer and the staff of the schools about any terms and conditions of employment. [More…]
In those cases if there is any difference between the individual teacher and the Commissioner a 3-man board - a promotions appeal board in the one case or a disciplinary appeal board in the other - is set up. [More…]
In the case of each, that is the promotions and disciplinary boards, the teaching staff is entitled to elect a representative to the 3-man board. [More…]
The Bill provides for a commission of one man. [More…]
In respect of terms and conditions of employment he is subject to the decision of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission, lt is an egregious attempt on the part of those who penned this amendment - a political ploy which is transparently futile - to suggest that this is an occasion for the appointment of a 3-man commission. [More…]
An unfortunate young man who had objections to the National Service Act was used as the vehicle for Senator Greenwood to vent his spleen against Labor. [More…]
The Minister is a trained legal man and, I understand, quite a capable legal officer. [More…]
Will the Minister or any other legal man in this place argue that the words ‘for his welfare’ would not include study leave, or would not include the release of a prisoner to complete his studies or to continue his studies at a university? [More…]
The same man was subsequently accused of being a fascist by Captain (sic) Marjan Jurjevic and a libel suit issued by the Church against Jurjevic was eventually withdrawn when the Reverend Father refused to enter the witness box. [More…]
Let us examine the record of the man who has produced these unfounded allegations and who is at present being so tenderly nurtured by Dr Jim Cairns and other members of the Labor Party in Victoria. [More…]
About the beginning of 1943 Jurjevic escaped from the Domobran and joined the Nazi German armed forces. [More…]
This was because at about this time some units of the Croatian Army had been loaned to the Germans for fighting on the Russian front. [More…]
So he went to the German Embassy and, with the assistance of a Nazi officer, left the Embassy wearing a German uniform and went to Hamburg for training. [More…]
He then served in the German Merchant Navy, which was a semi-military organisation, and was therefore a thoroughgoing Nazi collaborator. [More…]
He returned to Croatia twice during 1944 still wearing a German uni form. [More…]
This is the man who goes about prattling of war criminals and Nazi collaborators and has become the darling of the socialist Left in Victoria. [More…]
Gilbert and Sullivan never thought of anything as fatuous and nonsensical as this type of criminal proceeding which is used by this journal - words almost fail me - in condemnation of this man. [More…]
I know that many honourable senators present come from the trade union movement and that they know about tradesmen’s rights and that this is a difficult question. [More…]
If a man said: ‘Yes, f am a Croat’, he got better treatment than if he simply used the word ‘Yugoslav’. [More…]
I admire a man who says that. [More…]
I like a man who states his beliefs and his principles. [More…]
He is a pretty good business man, according to the mining journals. [More…]
At Footscray in Melbourne in 1968 a Mr Barun who is alleged to be an Ustashi man was stabbed to death. [More…]
I think that Senator Mulvihill accepted that Mr Lesic had put the bomb in that suitcase and that what happened was something of his own manufacture and that Mr Lesic caused his own wrong. [More…]
He rose to speak tonight and said that he was not a man who engaged in personal attacks. [More…]
I am nol here to defend a man who has proved by his courage and integrity that he can adequately defend himself. [More…]
I would be prepared to give some credence to some of the things which Senator Keeffe said but for his record, which in this area is one of many statements wildly made and subsequently proved to be untrue, and particularly when the statements are made late at night without any prior indication of what is to be said and without any opportunity for anyone at the time the statement is made to put a rebutting case. [More…]
The imputation behind that is that the man is guilty and that it is up to him to prove that he is not guilty. [More…]
The Attorney-General - a man with a legal mind - has not said that what Senator Cant said is not a correct legal interpretation. [More…]
The Attorney-General has no explanation, but because he knows that his statement accusing public officers should not have been made by a man holding the position of Attorney-General, he has tried to sidetrack the issue and dodge his obligation by talking about the Labor Party. [More…]
I think it is a dastardly thing for a man holding the position of AttorneyGeneral to make such an accusation or to disclose to the public what was said in discussion between 2 policemen, possibly in confidence. [More…]
The same reverend gentleman, Father Robarts, is reported - I keep using the word reported’ because I do not like criticising people unfairly - to have complained to the board about the lack of advertising of its sittings in Alice Springs. [More…]
It is deplorable that serious imputations of this nature should be made against members of the Public Service by a man of the cloth or by anybody else. [More…]
Today this man sees his empire going. [More…]
I give him credit for what he did in building it up, although he was lucky in having an incompetent manager of Australian National Airways Pty Ltd when Sir Ivan Holyman died and his son took over. [More…]
Sir Reginald was asked by his interviewer something to this effect: ‘What about a TNT man on the board of ATI?’ [More…]
In 1970, the number of man hours lost in the postal service as the result of strikes was 381,777. [More…]
In 1971, 146,954 man hours were lost and the loss of wages was $272,896. [More…]
Up to 3rd February of this year, 29,228 man hours were lost, while $54,138 was lost in wages. [More…]
The totals over that period were 557,959 man hours lost and $855,057 lost in wages. [More…]
In the dispute, 2,250 man shifts werelost in the mail handling area and 500 man shifts were lost in the technical area. [More…]
With respect to the 2,750 man shifts affected, 2,750 staff reported for duty but could not effectively perform their duties. [More…]
Salaries totalling $50,000 were paid for these man shifts with no return in productive effort. [More…]
When a trade union official can create this sort of’ chaos by using only 4 men who are likely to lose wages, we must wonder how much of the public purse would have been plundered during the course of the stoppages that have, taken place already in the postal industry, when 557,959 man hours werelost and $855,057 in wages was lost by the’ participants in those strikes. [More…]
If the same ratio as applied to the 4-man stoppage that I have used as an illustration had applied over the whole of industry - I know that it is an extreme case, but it could happen - how enormously the taxpayers would have1 been penalised because of what could have’ been a very small and petty dispute that occasioned 4 people to withhold their labour at a particular time. [More…]
It is not a fact that this man Fox on 3rd March made application to be classified as a conscientious objector. [More…]
Every effort will be made favourably to give an opportunity to have the claims of this man to be classified as a conscientious objector tested by the court if the terms of the Act permit that now to be considered by the court. [More…]
Has the attention of the Leader of the Government in the Senate been drawn to a resolution passed unanimously at the annual meeting of the Victorian Country Party last Friday, namely, that Liberals must show themselves to be big enough to find somebody to lead the coalition to success and that Mr Anthony is the only man to hold the qualifications of Prime Minister? [More…]
I had one case of a medical man who changed from practice as a general practitioner to a specialist. [More…]
If a Labor man today were to speak out as Mr Chifley spoke out in 1949 he would be relegated to the limbo of forgotten men. [More…]
I meet many of them. [More…]
It may have been better for a whole group to be put out of work than the life of perhaps one man to be endangered in an operation. [More…]
A man determines whether he is well done by or ill done by, by comparing what a fellow worker in a similar job and working the same hours receives. [More…]
If it is wrong I think it is because there is too big a disparity between the top man and the man on the lowest salary. [More…]
Under criminal law a man cannot be charged twice with the same offence. [More…]
I have not tried much tonight to justify industrial disputes, but I say that there are occasions when a man, because of fear, because of principles or because he is being ill treated is justified in taking strike action. [More…]
I happen to have been paymaster for quite a number of years, as a younger man, on the waterfront at Mackay. [More…]
I well remember a man who had the courage to get up and express himself against an extreme element which was dominating the waterside workers at that time. [More…]
He is a man for whom I have a great regard. [More…]
He is a very valuable member of a committee of which I am chairman. [More…]
I said in the Senate some years ago that the last man to contact for advice on a business proposition is a legal man and the last man to ask for advice on a sales campaign is one’s accountant because he will kill any sales campaign. [More…]
Nol so long ago a man who cannot drive was put on to relieve the attendant - a man up in years who is not in good health. [More…]
I did not hesitate to intervene and tell a hundred people that the Minister for the Interior (Mr Hunt) was the guilty man and not the individual who was ordered to do what he was told. [More…]
This is what happens in cases involving the obedience of the lawful command. [More…]
He obeyed a lawful command and copped all the abuse for a couple of hours and was shivering and shaking with emotion. [More…]
These are the sorts of human things that arise. [More…]
Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson who in the chamber is a man who has much sagacity in his makeup. [More…]
If the Attorney-General wants to accuse the Western Australian Government of encouraging a breach of the law merely because it is allowing a young man to attend a university one afternoon a week, then 1 suggest that the Commonwealth Government by not taking action against the Rhodesian Information Centre is deliberately encouraging others to peddle propaganda throughout this community. [More…]
I will call him a young man if he is 26 years of age. [More…]
In short, according to the Chief Secretary’s statements, the Western Australian Government is treating this young man the same as it is treating 20 other prisoners, all of whom have been incarcerated, I assume, for committing criminal offences and not because they are in mere defiance of the National Service Act. [More…]
Does Senator Greenwood say that 20 other people who have been incarcerated in Western Australian gaols for breach of some criminal law are entitled to go to a university on one afternoon a week but that one young man sentenced for defying the National Service Act is not entitled to go on one afternoon a week? [More…]
I am sick and tired of hearing honourable senators stand up and, in voices dripping with synthetic emotion, declaim about some young man whose conscience has driven him to the Bastille - some young man who would take imprisonment rather than comply with the National Service Act. [More…]
He was a very personable and charming man. [More…]
I always had the feeling that he was a man who was devoted to his family. [More…]
He was going to Tasmania and I was going to Western Australia. [More…]
Charles Lamp was a man of great simplicity and humility. [More…]
He started his life on the west coast of Tasmania and was employed in the Tasmanian Government Railways as a blacksmith. [More…]
He was a man who tried to help his fellow unionists and a man who was always forthright in putting up a genuine case for justice for his fellow workers. [More…]
At the time that he was working with the railways he was the honorary secretary of the Tasmanian branch of the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
He was a life member of the Australian Labor Party, Tasmanian branch, and was very highly respected by all its members, being a very regular attender al our conferences where bis wisdom, experience and good judgment were constantly sought. [More…]
He was a keen sportsman who took a wide interest in sporting events. [More…]
He was a most generous and kindly man. [More…]
This nation, and particularly Tasmania, will be much poorer for his passing. [More…]
Will the Attorney-General examine the transcript of this case and give very sympathetic consideration to what appears to be a very broad hint that this man should not be incarcerated because of his actions and beliefs? [More…]
When a young man who has been called up for national service rejects his obligation, is it the position that a vacancy is merely left unfilled so that another young man who would otherwise not have been called up is called up to take the place of the person who rejects his obligation? [More…]
If the latter is the case, should not a little of the sympathy be diverted to the man who is called up because another person rejects his call-up? [More…]
As my colleague the Attorney-General has so often pointed out, if one man who is required to do duty for national service evades that duty somebody else has to stand in for him. [More…]
In proof of it I refer to the interjection that Senator McManus made confirming the point which had been laid down already by Senator Poyser and Senator Bishop. [More…]
Man does not live by bread alone. [More…]
Ample expansion was available to the aircraft industry in many other fields. [More…]
Senator Bishop, to whomI ascribe the virtue of sincerity, a man interested in the welfare of an Australian industry, has put forward a motion related to the Australian aircraft industry. [More…]
On the other hand, the tycoons of business can sell out or plunder the country; they can raise prices and swindle the people; but the ordinary working man who seeks the best price for the only thing he has to sell - his capacity to work, his labour - is treated as a criminal if he does anything about it. [More…]
It is not a fact that this man Fox on 3rd March made application to be classified as a conscientious objector. [More…]
Every effort will be made favourably to give an opportunity to have the claims of this man to be classified as a conscientious objector tested by the court if the terms of the Act permit that now to be considered by the court. [More…]
I want to advert briefly to the statement in the answer by the Minister that it is not a fact that this man Fox on 3rd March made application to be classified as a conscientious objector. [More…]
It cannot be said, as the Minister said in his answer, that it is not a fact that this man Fox on 3rd March made application to be classified as a conscientious objector. [More…]
It is obvious from the fact that a judge was asked to proceed with an inquiry that the length of imprisonment that that young man chose to endure indicated a doubt as to whether there was a real conscientious objection that had been overlooked or that he had not put forward during the court proceedings. [More…]
An exceptional course was taken in favour of that man’s freedom. [More…]
If the court does find that this man has a conscientious objection and had that conscientious objection on 3rd March, despite the fact that he never applied to be exempted on that ground at that time, the result will be that this man has been imprisoned unjustly for a period of 6 weeks. [More…]
Surety from 3rd March, Fox had indicated to the Minister, or the Minister had sufficient indication, that his case was one of a man with a conscientious objection. [More…]
What should be determined first in a case in which a man has a conscientious objection is whether he has a responsibility to serve. [More…]
Firstly, is it correct that on the Australian Broadcasting Commission’s radio programme ‘PM’ on Tuesday, 18th April, an American by the name of T. D. Allman was interviewed and asked for his comments on the Vietnam war? [More…]
Secondly, was this man simply described as a visiting American journalist? [More…]
Thirdly, is this the same T. D. Allman who was arrested by the Government of Laos on 24th February 1970 for unauthorised entry into the base of Long Cheng, which prompted the American Ambassador to state: ‘The American Mission has lost any interest in helping out the Press whatsoever because of what happened this afternoon’? [More…]
Fourthly, is he the same Mr Allman who has been twice expelled from Cambodia? [More…]
Fifthly, is Mr Allman’s visit to Australia being sponsored by the so-called Association for International Co-operation and Disarmament? [More…]
But we have this provision in the Conciliation and Arbitration Act: While there will still remain power to enforce a decision to make an order under that Act, it is necessary to get a certificate from a presidential commissioner before a man can be penalised. [More…]
I must say that I am terribly disappointed in Senator Murphy, I conclude on this note: If there is anything to be said about another man in another place let somebody get up on his feel and say it there. [More…]
I was surprised at the sensitivity of the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson) who is usually a most placid and reasonable man. [More…]
You are a great sex man. [More…]
Shortly after that, an incident occurred on the Federal Executive of the ALP when one man with a lot more courage than his fellows said that efforts would be made to silence him at the next meeting of the Federal Executive of the ALP. [More…]
I think it is fair to quote what the man himself felt about this matter. [More…]
He is an excellent straight man. [More…]
He is probably the best straight man that we have ever had in Parliament - a noisy one but a very good one. [More…]
If a man who is now a Minister was involved in this conspiracy - because conspiracy I think it has to be called- [More…]
Lilley is one of the most doubtful seats in the Com- monwealth yet this nonsensical rag puts up the proposition that this man deliberately connived at risking his own seat. [More…]
It is a ridiculous exercise in political brinkmanship, if I can use a word so beloved of our friends on the left. [More…]
He is normally a kindly man. [More…]
He is courteous to government senators and to people generally, and a man full of the milk of human kindness. [More…]
J notice that one portion of the article was written, I think, by a man called Zerman who was lapping around Mr Whitlam in King’s Hall like a puppy a few days ago. [More…]
He is the man who went on record as saying - he proved his point on a programme of the Australian Broadcasting Commission - that it is much easier to manipulate students than the Waterside Workers Federation. [More…]
Their lamentable and deplorable resolution supporting the North Vietnamese aggression against our own 150 instructors who are still in Vietnam, our American allies whose naval, air and sea forces are involved, and our South Vietnamese allies alongside whom so many of our own men fought and lied, is only echoing what was said by Dr J. F. Cairns in another place in a speech on which Mr Whitlam congratulated him. [More…]
Being a man of few words, I simply say to Senator Murphy: Physician, heal thyself. [More…]
It seems to me to be the most appropriate thing to happen in a situation where so many man hours are being spent and so much initiative, expertise and, in fact, expenditure of public moneys are involved in reaching certain conclusions. [More…]
I wish to comment on the words ‘unless otherwise ordered’ as they appear in paragraph (d) of Senator Drake-Brock man’s amendment. [More…]
I noted that Senator Drake-Brockman said that such a provision would not apply to party leaders and Ministers. [More…]
At the present time the chairman of the committee, who is usually a member of one of the Government Parties, tends to bring in a report. [More…]
We accept the fact that Tasmania is a sovereign State within the Constitution which provides for 6 States in the Commonwealth. [More…]
I think that the time has come when we must accept that any State having a particular serious disability, such as Tasmania has - I will mention it in a moment - ought to be subject to some most special consideration. [More…]
The consideration that should be given ought to be a type of consideration which can be demonstrated to every man, woman and child in the community in order to show that the particular situation is accepted in the total Commonwealth context, and some adjustment should be made to off-set that disability. [More…]
Believe it or not, Mr Bury, the former Treasurer - the man who at times looks very tired - came back from London within 24 hours and, at the eleventh hour, took over. [More…]
To some extent the motion has set up a straw man. [More…]
The man who took over those companies flies to the Government for protection when a bigger bird wants to pick him up. [More…]
Man cannot survive on this planet without utilising ils natural resources prudently. [More…]
Every human action affects the world around is in some degree and the full effect is difficult to assess because of complex relations among living and nonliving things. [More…]
I would have thought that honourable senators would have known that 1 was referring to Tasmania when I spoke of Moonah. [More…]
The man to whom I refer is a returned serviceman from World War I. [More…]
This man was wounded in action. [More…]
That being the case, one would have anticipated that this man would have been admitted to hospital and would have been given treatment. [More…]
While I admit that the issue which I have brought forward is a parochial one - it deals with a particular case - my main purpose in bringing it forward is to direct attention to the fact that many returned servicemen from World War I, from World War II, from the Korean conflict and later still from the Vietnam war will require hospital and medical treatment. [More…]
It would appear that on many occasions when returned servicemen become sick they become only a statistic on the books. [More…]
An approach was made to the Sunnyside Rest Home in Hobart to have this man admitted, but admission would cost to the family $28 a week, and he would not qualify for repatriation assistance while he was in that home. [More…]
However, that rest home is not suitable for this man because I am informed - fairly reliably so - that the night watch at the home does its rounds only every 2 hours and Mr Reynolds’ condition does not permit him to call for assistance if it is required. [More…]
He referred to the avenues which were available to this man and to the family, namely, an appeal to a board, a tribunal or a commission. [More…]
The man should be accommodated in what I consider to be the place where he should be accommodated, that is, in the repatriation hospital. [More…]
I do not know the facts concerning what was said at the particular time when this man was arrested. [More…]
The fact of the matter is that this has been an area of debate for a good many years now. [More…]
It is fraught with many problems. [More…]
I find difficulty in separating a man who is a Commonwealth man from a man who is a State man. [More…]
I feel that people outside those categories would not object to paying death taxes, although I know, from correspondence with many people, that sisters and brothers, dependent sons or daughters, or non-dependent sons or daughters have made it their life’s work to help the father and mother build up a property knowing that on the death of the father and mother, or either, the property will be left to them and they will be reimbursed for their work. [More…]
That man will provide me with information which he considers will open everyone’s eyes. [More…]
Recently in Western Australia there was a case where a man by the name of Robinson was charged with stealing something from a shipwreck on a reef 12 miles off shore. [More…]
Surely it must have come to his notice as a legal man and surely he has expressed an opinion on it on many occasions. [More…]
The Act also gave the Commissioner of Taxation power to defer the demands for the payment of duty where it applied particularly to rural estates. [More…]
In Australia over a period of years the trade union movement with its political wing, the Labor parties in the various States, and the arbitration courts and the like have protected the interests of the working man to the degree that his standard of living has been partly increased relative to the improving production rate of the country. [More…]
A man injured in an industrial accident in a country area - for example, by a fall of rock in a country quarry - -does not always have the same opportunity to be rehabilitated as has a man who is injured in an accident in a factory at Footscray or Redfern. [More…]
He could be a man of 30. with a wife and a couple of children. [More…]
Tribute has been paid to many of the witnesses. [More…]
A classic case was evolved by a great man, Roosevelt, for good reasons but the people concerned reacted in the wrong way. [More…]
For 250 years marriage was not for negroes because they were not human beings until after the Civil War. [More…]
For many years thereafter families did not develop under the institution of marriage because they had been completely shattered as tribes. [More…]
Therefore in the 1930s in the ghettos, in poverty that I have seen, many mothers were found with strings of children but with no obvious husbands. [More…]
The problem in America among the negroes is the same as the problem which we have among the poor here in many cases. [More…]
The Minister for Social Services is a man who has a deep concern for the welfare of the community, particularly for those who are in special need by reason of absence of an income, poor housing, old age, infirmity or some other handicap. [More…]
I am sure that anyone who has had the opportunity of sharing a platform with him or of being present on one of the many occasions on which he has made some statement in relation to the subject of social services has been impressed by his concern for the people of this country who have a particular need. [More…]
I know of the Lifeline people, who man telephones around the clock. [More…]
There is no reason why a man at 30 years of age cannot defend this country as well as a man of 25 years. [More…]
At the age of 30 years a man should be sufficiently matured to cope with the burdens of society which, at an earlier age, force him to seek escape in drugs. [More…]
Every effort will be made favourably to give an opportunity to have the claims of this man to be classified as a conscientious objector tested by the Court if the terms of the Act permit that now to be considered by the Court. [More…]
In the meantime this young man has been languishing in that medieval institution called Pentridge Gaol, Coburg, for 10 weeks and 1 day. [More…]
If and when this man’s claim is tested what will happen if the court upholds it? [More…]
Apart from offending against good taste, could the presentation of this item be justified in view of the attending sorrow which must have been imposed on relatives and friends of this unfortunate young man? [More…]
He has bought a teleprompter, which was imported from the United States of America at a cost of $5,000, to help him in his television performances. [More…]
I would hate to be the public relations man. [More…]
The proper use of Queensland’s mining resources has provided new job opportunities for many workers in Queensland. [More…]
This has all been brought about by mining and the manner in which the Country Party-Liberal Party State Government has encouraged it. [More…]
This development is no mean task in any man’s language. [More…]
This is a massive increase in any man’s language. [More…]
The inescapable fact is that there are far too many strikes in this country and far too many man days are lost as a result of them. [More…]
That dispute undoubtedly contributed heavily to a very substantial loss in man days for the month of February. [More…]
The effects of industrial disputes on the community are not simply measurable by the loss of man days. [More…]
Furthermore, many employees who were not stood down were not productively employed for long periods as a result of power restrictions and other adverse effects of the strike. [More…]
These losses are not reflected in the Commonwealth Statistician’s figures of man days lost because he only records the losses in establishments where strike action takes place. [More…]
This is a massive increase in any man’s language. [More…]
What manner of man is running the hillbilly government in the State of Queensland? [More…]
He was one of a small group who tried to remove the Premier not so many months ago. [More…]
But the Premier at this meeting defended Mr Hinze and said that he was a fine man. [More…]
Our Premier, the man who has come cap in hand to the Commonwealth Government for assistance, denied that they were tin and said that they were made of galvanised iron. [More…]
Can he recall the occasion in the life of this administration in Queensland when it gaoled a man for not paying his road taxes on the cartage of fresh fruit and vegetables from the Atherton Tablelands to Townsville. [More…]
I have in my possession a photograph of this man as he was being removed from the train at Roma Street in handcuffs and carted off to the Boggo Road gaol. [More…]
But, as I said earlier, they do not favour the little man, the worker- [More…]
It you work for a man, in heaven’s name work for him. [More…]
Probably neither gentleman really knows how many people there are in the multitude of islands that make up Indonesia. [More…]
Whoever is right, there are very many Indonesians ready to trade, ready to learn and ready for friendship and help from our technically richer country. [More…]
In a 24-man Cabinet, not fewer than 12 members are graduates, most of them in science and economics. [More…]
Those honourable senators who have been members of this chamber for a long while would know that when I was appointed by the Tasmanian Parliament to this honourable chamber in 1953 I was secretary to the Leader of the Parliamentary Liberal Party in Tasmania, the Hon. [More…]
After my appointment I became a parliamentary colleague of the late Athol Townley, Minister for Defence and for many other portfolios in his time, an uncle of our Senator Townley. [More…]
It has helped me in many aspects of my life. [More…]
He has adopted what I believe for a young man, a new man, to be an excellent practice. [More…]
That great man said: ‘Young man, it is better that they ask: ‘Why did he not speak?’ [More…]
He has come forward with a contribution that he will be able to circulate proudly to the electors of Tasmania. [More…]
In support of my request to the Government to act on this recommendation quickly 1 would like to cite one case with which I have been dealing, ft is the case of a young man who has been to [More…]
On the other hand, the other consideration which has to be taken into account - this is part of the same problem - is at what stage, society is entitled to say that as the drug is harmful it is entitled to take away this man’s or that woman’s freedom to indulge in it. [More…]
Even though a 55-year old man who might consume a couple of beers or whiskies every day is shortening by 5 years his life expectancy or his ability to do useful work but at the same time is enjoying his life, can one say that he should not do it even though those extra 5 years of life will be more painful to him than if he were not to have the comfort which alcohol provides? [More…]
The Minister for Air (Senator Drake-Brockman) has suggested that these 7 Bills pertaining to the dairying industry be taken together, and we on this side of the chamber see no reason why this should not be done. [More…]
In fact, it was drawn up by the man who was responsible for the implementation of the first 5-year plan, namely, Mr Reg Pollard. [More…]
I believe that that is a warning from a man who has been at the helm of the Dairy Board for some considerable time, a man who grew up in the industry and knows what it is all about. [More…]
That is the most pessimistic statement I have ever heard from a man who comes from one of the greatest dairying districts in Victoria. [More…]
Taking into account the general increase in the consumer price index because of increased wage payments to individuals, the demands of interest payments on moneys borrowed and the ordinary expenditure involved in the production of goods in the food consumption group between 1950 and 1972 - in fact, March of this year - one will find that instead of the price of butter on the Australian market today being, as it is, 55.9c per lb it should be 61.29c per lb. [More…]
I do not agree with the views of Senator Primmer about the equation of the price on the metropolitan market of whole milk and manufacturing milk. [More…]
Indeed, the producer has to ensure that he produces to his contract for 365 days a year, which is something that the manufacturing milk man does not have to do at the present time, although he may be quite capable of doing it. [More…]
The man producing milk on a contract basis also has to produce it to a particular standard. [More…]
Because of the transport available in those days it was impossible to get another man here in time to make a survey and to submit a report to the people of New Zealand. [More…]
Senator Poyser is an honest man, and he will admit that he said that there were only 4 or 5 items on the business paper and they had been dealt with. [More…]
Simply put they are, as follows: Commonwealth Police early this afternoon arrested a young man on a charge of having failed to attend a medical, examination under the National Service Act. [More…]
The man invited arrest and said that he would be available to be arrested, and he was arrested. [More…]
The man arrested was William Robert Wood, who had failed to; attend a court hearing in Sydney. [More…]
At approximately 1 o’clock today a young man who gave his name as Wood introduced himself to an attendant at Parliament House and asked to see the Attorney-General. [More…]
At the time that this young man introduced himself to the Senate attendant I was informed by the Usher of the Black Rod. [More…]
I understand that through the agency of the Usher of the Black Rod an introduction was effected between the man who was describing himself as Mr Wood and Inspector Headland of the Commonwealth Police Force. [More…]
Inspector Headland and the young man who had introduced himself as Mr Wood walked from King’s Hall to the road outside the front of Parliament House. [More…]
I would emphasise that this young man twice identified himself as Wood in the hearing of Senate officers. [More…]
After Inspector Headland and this young man left Parliament House the young man moved across the road, where he was apprehended by 2 Commonwealth policemen. [More…]
I should say that afterthis young man had been introduced to Inspector Headland he said that his name was not Wood but Chris Shanley. [More…]
But after Mr Shanley left with the police to go to police headquarters another young man, accompanied by a group of people, came to Parliament House and asked to see the AttorneyGeneral. [More…]
This gentleman, as 1 indicated earlier, subsequently appeared in court and was remanded to appear in Sydney tomorrow. [More…]
was there this concerted effort this morning by a number of people to inform as many representatives of the mass media as possible? [More…]
Why was .it that there was such a concentrated campaign - which was effective - to have so many of the representatives of radio, Press and television present outside Parliament House? [More…]
Why did he claim ostentatiously in front of television cameras at the time when he was apprehended that the police had the wrong man when it would appear as though the whole purpose of the exercise was to create the impression that he was the man for whom the police were looking? [More…]
I have taken an interest in it by the accident of watching a television programme this evening in which I saw a young man apprehended. [More…]
1 saw a young man, who appeared to be arrested, between 2 very burly policemen. [More…]
He was pushed to a car protesting that he was not the man whom they were seeking. [More…]
I say to honourable senators: Do not try to say that I am one of the rabble, a Communist and so on because I am trying to support a man who, it appeared to me. [More…]
I am interested in one thing and that is what happened to this man today. [More…]
We were told that this man was not arrested, yet in the statement it says that he was apprehended. [More…]
I am not supporting the man or saying that he was right or wrong. [More…]
It was obvious that the young man was protesting as he was being led to the car and entering the car. [More…]
He was saying ‘I am not the man you want’ and other people were saying ‘He is not Wood*. [More…]
Why not say to him: You have said you are one man, and now you say you are another. [More…]
There were pictures of the police happily joking away as if they were glad to know that the man had escaped. [More…]
If a man has committed an offence he should be arrested. [More…]
But did this man Shanley commit an offence? [More…]
It is just a question of the civil liberty of any man when a practical joke goes wrong and he is apprehended. [More…]
I raise this matter because I believe that an injustice has been done to this man Shanley. [More…]
The AttorneyGeneral very kindly said that this man can prosecute the police. [More…]
According to the AttorneyGeneral, if this man feels that a wrong has been done to him, he can seek redress by going to court. [More…]
I was most concerned that this young man, who was trying to tell the police his name - he claimed that he had identification papers to prove his name - was being bundled off virtually under arrest. [More…]
Whether it is called apprehension or whatever the term is, he was being manhandled. [More…]
Senator Greenwood evidently, instead of advising this man to speak to him, advised the Commonwealth Police. [More…]
At approximately 1 p.m. a young man who gave his name as Wood introduced himself to an attendant at Parliament House and asked to see the Attorney-General. [More…]
Now, the man himself, Chris Shanley, came to the attendant with a document which he wanted to present to Senator Greenwood. [More…]
The situation amounts to this: Here is a young man whose civil rights have been taken away by a bungle. [More…]
The situation, as I understood it from observation, was that the police had been put in a position where they were led to believe that a certain young man by the name of Shanley was one Wood for whom a warrant of arrest had been issued. [More…]
There were graphic descriptions in the Press this afternoon of this young man running down the steps of Parliament House and being chased across the street by the police. [More…]
I saw that young man walk down those steps and walk across the street, and I saw the police come out of Parliament House some time later and walk across to him. [More…]
I was also conscious of the existence of a man whom I subsequently believed to be one Wood who was the second person arrested. [More…]
A crowd was watching this performance. [More…]
Can one interview a man when one has a microphone shoved under one’s mouth? [More…]
Robert William Wood, a young man, came to Canberra to seek an interview with the Attorney-General. [More…]
The young man then indicated that he would be outside Parliament at 1 p.m. [More…]
I have been disturbed by the manner in which honourable senators opposite have endevoured to denigrate the persons concerned, particularly Mr Chris Shanley, an innocent party in the whole proceeding. [More…]
The young man, who I think we can probably assume is a friend of Wood, was seeking to arrange an interview between Wood and the Attorney-General. [More…]
At approximately 1 p.m. a young man who gave his name as Wood introduced himself to an attendant at Parliament House . [More…]
This senior member of the Commonwealth Police Force nevertheless called in 2 other Commonwealth policemen, hustled the young man into a police car and took him away to Kingston for about 35 minutes. [More…]
Surely it is a distasteful state of affairs when an innocent citizen is put in the position of having to passively accept a bullheaded approach by Commonwealth Police who, in the face of all the evidence, ignored the fact that the young man was attempting to establish his own identity and who subsequently took him away in a police car. [More…]
He says: ‘Well, Mr Shanley is a young man of 20 or 21 years of age and he has his civil rights’. [More…]
While sitting in this chamber on many occasions I have been staggered at the way in which a number of honourable senators, senior men who allegedly have been trained in the noble art of the law, have sought to denigrate and destroy the reputation of citizens of this country without their having any opportunity of defending themselves. [More…]
Senator Rae described this young man as a tuppeny-halfpenny person. [More…]
The situation is that a young man comes to Canberra and voluntarily surrenders his liberty for a principle. [More…]
He is a very religious young man who holds very strong views about war. [More…]
There has been a false arrest and an innocent man’s reputation has been besmirched. [More…]
Supporters and members of the Government sitting in this chamber have attempted to destroy the reputation of a young man by innuendo and the use of words which I think ill become a member of this Parliament. [More…]
I would prefer to see them be big enough to make that apology than force a young man without resources to go to a civil jurisdiction to seek justice in this matter. [More…]
This man obviously has been part of a charade. [More…]
If he is such a religious man as Senator Gietzelt suggests - perhaps a disciple of St Francis - he has his remedy in the very liberal sections of the National Service Act relating to conscientious objection. [More…]
When Senator Gietzelt says he considers a man of this type the salt of the earth, I cannot help but wonder what type of defence administration we might expect from a government to which Senator Gietzelt would be a significant adviser. [More…]
It distresses me beyond measure that a man of the erudition and intelligence of Senator Turnbull and my friend Senator O’Byrne can speak in the way in which they have spoken. [More…]
The simple fact is this: In a magistrate’s court in Sydney tomorrow a man who was arrested under the name of Robert Wood will, if proven to be Robert Wood, undergo the normal processes of law and experience the consequences should he be found to have committed a breach of the law. [More…]
As Senator Hannan has said tonight, if the man Wood has strong religious views he should have used the recourse available to him under the law. [More…]
I deal now with the man Shanley. [More…]
For example, it is understood that certain attendants have averred that a man said that he was Wood. [More…]
A lot has been said tonight of the innocence or otherwise of a man. [More…]
I say to honourable senators, in low key, that if the man Shanley feels that he is aggrieved, whether or not he is able himself to seek the natural process of law, I, as a member of Parliament, will ensure that he gets full help, if he feels he needs it, of good legal advice to undertake the process of law. [More…]
If the man feels that he has been aggrieved, let him say so. [More…]
Tomorrow in a magistrate’s court a man named Wood, if he is Wood, will stand his trial in the proper course. [More…]
Tomorrow if the man Shanley feels that he has evidence, let him come forward to any one of us. [More…]
But if this figure of 1.35 per cent is applied to a man with an annual income of $2,500 the percentage applicable is 11.1 per cent. [More…]
On an income of $2,500, the percentage is increased to 11.1 per cent, whereas for a man with an annual income of $8,000 the effective rate is only 4.4 per cent. [More…]
The Prime Minister has staled that in recent times the Commonwealth has intervened in arbitration hearings in recognition of the increasing gravity of the problem of wage induced inflation and that the intervention has been more frequent and more vigorous than for many years past. [More…]
2.4 million man days were lost as a result of industrial disputes. [More…]
At least 3.4 million man days were lost ‘that year and are lost every year as a result of industrial accidents. [More…]
Approximately 270:000 workers each year suffer injuries which cause them to be away from their jobs for one or more days and the total time lost from these injuries amounts to about 680,000 man weeks per year. [More…]
When related to the employed work force these accidents occur at a rate approaching 40 cases for every, million man hours worked and claims in connection with these injuries totalled over $!06m in 1968-69. [More…]
The production of wealth which would result from the application of the extra man power would be quite immense. [More…]
In fact - these figures are acknowledged by everybody - there is a loss of 13.8 million man days for every 60,000 unemployed workers. [More…]
In many countries where the alternative of collective bargaining operates the industry situation is far worse than in Australia. [More…]
Statistics compiled from ILO sources indicate that for the 5 years 1965 to 1969 the average annual number of man.days lost per 1,000 employees in the mining, manufacturing, construction and transport industries in Australia was 4S6, compared with 1,556 for Canada, 1,232 for the United States and 1,574 for Italy. [More…]
For example, the number of man-days lost in 1970 was at least 30 per cent higher in the United States, about 60 per cent higher in the United Kingdom and 100 per cent higher in New Zealand than in the previous year. [More…]
That dispute undoubtedly contributed heavily to a very substantial loss in man-days for the month of February. [More…]
The effects of industrial disputes on the community are not simply measurable by the loss of man days. [More…]
At that time the Secretary of the Seamens Union came on television and, as one man put it, preached bloody revolution. [More…]
I was talking to a man in the town near where I live not long ago. [More…]
Not only that but they demanded the dismissal of the foreman who had sacked the man. [More…]
He does not prevent an examination of his own conscience at some time or other when the facts are brought before him by making wild accusations because he was told something by some German - I think it was at an airport. [More…]
Let the honourable senator give us the facts, and we will find whether there is any basis for a strike in Tasmania in some industry because a man in some town told him that the boss had illegal goods in his possession in his room. [More…]
The system justifies the agitation of the under privileged worker who has just as many commitments as others have. [More…]
Senator Webster would rather compare him with me than with a man who receives $30,000 a year. [More…]
A man receiving $40 a week has just as many commitments in home life and possible expenditure as I have and he is receiving a lot less. [More…]
Industrial accidents caused a loss of about 3 million man hours. [More…]
That was a callous and inhuman decision. [More…]
What horrifies me is this: Firstly, this man’s career was ruined because he told the truth. [More…]
Admittedly, many people believe that he was dismissed but he was dismissed in such a way that he retained all his credits. [More…]
Yesterday afternoon there died a man who had served this Parliament for a long time and most honourably. [More…]
In industry today white collar workers exceed blue collar workers for the first time in the history of man. [More…]
1 instance another dispute, the one-man bus dispute in Sydney. [More…]
Honourable senators might criticise a man for what they call over-dedication. [More…]
He will agree that in our modern cities today with one-man buses the situation is nerve wracking. [More…]
We have heard Senator Webster, a young man, say in this chamber that he would cheerfully hang his fellow man- [More…]
Honourable senators opposite will stand and defend this man as someone who is interested in the welfare of our national industries. [More…]
As other speakers on this side have pointed out, serious and all as it may be, the time lost through strikes - half a day per man per year - is a drop in the ocean compared to the loss in production due to industrial accidents and due to the unnecessary time and production lost through the Governmentinduced unemployment which has plagued this country during the last year. [More…]
If one thinks in terms of 60,000 men unnecessarily out of work over a period of a year and the production lost during that time one does not give a great deal of thought to the half day per man per year which is lost in strikes. [More…]
Statistics compiled from ILO sources indicate that for the 5 years 1965 to 1969 the average annual number of man-days lost per 1,000 employees in the mining, manufacturing, construction and transport industries in Australia was 456, compared wilh 1,556 for Canada, 1,232 for the United States and 1,574 for Italy. [More…]
For example, the number of man-days lost in 1970 was at least 30 per cent higher in the United States, about 60 per cent higher in the United Kingdom and 100 per cent higher in New Zealand than in the previous year. [More…]
But it is the same man who is apprised of all the circumstances of the dispute. [More…]
This trained man who has sat down with the parties, perhaps for days, who knows all about the case and who now has to bow out of it cannot make available to the new person who takes over the matter anything of what he has learnt. [More…]
This is the Labor Party which claims that it is out to help the small man. [More…]
Senator James McClelland set out to show by figures from the International Labour Organisation that the man-days lost in Australia in the period 1965 to 1969 were fewer by far than the man-days lost in Canada, the United States of America and Italy. [More…]
It seems inequitable that a bookie in a remote country area who fields only six or eight times a year has to pay the same amount as a Brisbane man who stands up three times a week. [More…]
The union official supplied me with the name of the identified man. [More…]
He contacted me this afternoon to say that it would appear that the man concerned is a member of the Regular Army. [More…]
He said also that a commanding officer may give authority to members of his unit to engage themselves in evening work such as that of a waiter, a barman, a service station attendant or work of that type and, to use the Minister’s words when he spoke to me on the telephone: ‘It has to be work of integrity’. [More…]
Seantor DRAKE-BROCKMAN (Western Australia - Minister for Air) (12.50 a.m.) - Let me say immediately to Senator Douglas McClelland that I view the matter as a serious one. [More…]
In accordance with the general policy of the armed Services, approval may be given, by a unit commander, for a man to engage in outside civilian employment, but rules are laid down by Air Force standing orders, by Army routine orders and, I take it, by Naval orders. [More…]
The decision must be left to the discretion of the commanding officer and of the individual. [More…]
My understanding is that in this case approval was given by the unit commander for this man to engage in civilian employment. [More…]
I understand that approval was given on the basis that the man would be in employment with Metropolitan Security Services Pty Ltd. On the night to which the honourable senator referred this man was not working for that organisation. [More…]
Apparently he was working in a private capacity, unknown to his commanding officer. [More…]
When he found out that one of the five or six big burly men of whom the honourable senator spoke was a serviceman, he took action. [More…]
The honourable senator said that he had information that one of the five or six big burly men was a man who, the honourable senator’s informant believes, is a serviceman. [More…]
This man was off duty. [More…]
The man was working, unknown to his commanding officer and not at the particular job at which he was given approval to work. [More…]
This station has great difficulties with technical staffing due to its remoteness and it has the Board’s qualified approval to employ an unqualified man as Chief Technician. [More…]
There is a feeling in the community that no man ought to be given the power to make very great decisions concerning the rights of persons without some form of appeal being available. [More…]
Here we have 2 statements from the Minister for Labour and National Service, both of which, in the context of the legislation before the Senate, show that he is a man who speaks with more than one tongue. [More…]
He was the man who, when put in the witness box, knew nothing of the procedures that had been followed for the past 2 years by the 3 unions which, I think it must be said, have carried out their responsibilities in accordance with the Act, the law and their rules and regulations. [More…]
The taxpayers of this country are now called upon to pay that man’s legal costs. [More…]
It was only then, when Jack Devereux, a man steeped in Queensland trade union history, became chairman of the Australian section of the Amalgamated Engineering Union that that union began to take a deep interest in amalgamation. [More…]
It seems to me that either Senator Wright did not have the interest and the will to guide this legislation through or Senator Greenwood is to be used as the hatchet man to force it through at all costs. [More…]
In country areas the proposition constantly pushed is that the worker is responsible for the increased costs imposed on the man on the land; that the worker is getting good working conditions and wage increases and these things do not flow on to the man on the land; that wages are pushing up prices; that if wages go up prices will go up. [More…]
Therefore, the total weekly entitlement for a married man with five dependent children in future will be $47.50 a week. [More…]
In addition a married man with six dependants (wife and five children) pays $2.75 a week tax. [More…]
Never before has the man in the street lost so much of his take-home pay in inflation. [More…]
However, never before has the man in the street lost so much of his take-home pay to inflation. [More…]
The man with the responsibility of administering the Act said that it was essential for 2 commissioners to be appointed in the following year. [More…]
Is the announcement by metal employers based on their confident belief that they can compensate themselves for wage concessions through the tariff and price increases and throw the burden on the farmer, the small business man and the person on a fixed income, and will it throw new burdens on export industries? [More…]
Has the Australian Broadcasting Commission been engaged in producing an Australian situation comedy series entitled ‘Our Man in Canberra’, the star of which is Mr Jeff Ashby, the well known Australian actor? [More…]
A man is entitled, if he is of good character and the required competence, to come to the Australian Capital Territory Supreme Court and be admitted to practice. [More…]
This ordinance permits any man of the accepted competence and character to be admitted into practice in the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
Many of the most competent solicitors in this area will continue their barrister’s activities and practise as both barristers and solicitors. [More…]
But if the man says: ‘I will be simply a taxation adviser and a company lawyer’, he confines his practice to that field as a matter of voluntary selection. [More…]
If a man says: ‘I shall practise only as a barrister in the High Court’, he confines his practice to that area, but from the Government’s point of view in making the law and providing the ordinance under which the legal obligations are imposed, as between the profession and the public, the situation will be that the man who is admitted to practice can accept work in the whole field of legal practice, either as a barrister or as a solicitor or as a barrister and solicitor. [More…]
It takes some gall to ask a parliament, the members of which have not had an increase in salary for approximately 4 years but for whom the cost of living has gone up just as it has for every other section of the community, to award a pay rise of $84 a week, retrospective to last November, to a class of persons who have recently shown their attitude towards the rest of the community by claiming that a $2 a week increase is sufficient to overtake the rises in the cost of living and who also delivered themselves of the opinion that a man, his wife and his children can live on a wage of $54 a week. [More…]
The intervention by the Federal Government before the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission at the time of the national wage case resulted in an increase of $2 a week to a man earning between $40 and $50 a week. [More…]
I would have thought that a man who was trying to raise a family on $40 or $50 a week was making a sacrifice to curb inflation. [More…]
The fact that the Commission could not give that man in excess of $2 a week to help him is reason enough why someone else should make a sacrifice. [More…]
The commissioners, who have a case for an increase, do not have the same justification for a salary increase as the working man on $50 a week. [More…]
I believe it is much more desirable to exercise restraint on those who are in receipt of a salary of $11,850 than on the working man who is struggling to bring up a family on a much lower wage, or on our pensioners whom we cannot keep in a state of livelihood above the poverty line. [More…]
How many times in this chamber have we heard Ministers express a point of view in relation to propositions, or questions to which we on this side have sought answers, based on what would appear to be an authentic report in a newspaper? [More…]
So the remark I made yesterday that the AttorneyGeneral is, in fact, the hatchet man for the Government is now being proved correct. [More…]
We remember him in his country as one who came here when a very young man, entrusted again with high responsibility. [More…]
He was a man who carried out his duties with gaiety and with those qualities that endeared him to people and which were capable of engendering tremendous affection. [More…]
My question, which is directed to the Minister representing the Postmaster-General, relates to the Australian Broadcasting Commission’s television production entitled ‘Our Man in Canberra’. [More…]
Was the Attorney-General or his Department consulted by the Australian Broadcasting Commission in any way as to whether the programme ‘Our Man in Canberra’ breached section 116(2.) [More…]
Is the programme Our Man in Canberra’ a comedy or a satirical programme designed for entertainment purposes and not designed for the purpose of deliberately influencing the result of an election? [More…]
I do not want to quarrel with the Attorney-General on this point, but I think he will concede that he, as a man of law, holds a view that the amendment is not retrospective. [More…]
Then, when that has failed the same man proceeds with the knowledge he has acquired of the dispute, with the knowledge he as an experienced man has picked up of the attitudes of the contending parties and with the knowledge he must have of the possibility that there can still be a settlement even after arbitration has commenced. [More…]
The parties have to go to arbitration at a given point and they go before a different man. [More…]
The man sitting in arbitration does not have knowledge of what the parties may have been prepared to concede, how far they may have been prepared to go or the strenuous efforts of one party to reach settlement of the dispute. [More…]
I think we could ask for a reply on this occasion because it does not seem right that a man should be guilty of an offence if he does not attend if there may be a reasonable cause why he could not attend. [More…]
He should be the man who is best able to handle this Bill. [More…]
I ask: Did the executive producer of the Australian Broadcasting Commission programme ‘Our Man in Canberra’ seek permission to take certain interior film shots of this Parliament when not in session to be included as excerpts in the production? [More…]
I thank Senator James McClelland for reminding me of the fact that a judge could state that the reading of a charge against a man was evidence of his guilt. [More…]
In other words, it was not to be open to a union to claim that: a man had not resigned, even though he had not resigned in writing, if the union had accepted the resignation. [More…]
I think on that occasion the man who paid the fine was identified, but I am speaking from recollection. [More…]
The generosity of this man has even been written about in newspapers in New South Wales. [More…]
This is the man Senator Cant this week accused of taking a $275,000 rake-off- [More…]
I have known members of the Kailis family for many years. [More…]
I know that this man was known as George Kailis. [More…]
My father’s first job in life was to work on Broken Hill South when he was a young man in 1905. [More…]
As a young man I recall in the 1930s that most of my friends could afford no more indulgence in smoking than to roll their own cigarettes. [More…]
I order the description of the man given by Senator Hannan to be deleted from the record. [More…]
What does concern me is the fact that certain leaders of a political party are concerned with maintaining in hiding a man for whom a warrant has been issued by the court. [More…]
The manner in which some of these beautiful advertisements are presented has created in the minds of many people, especially young people, at which age most people begin smoking, the impression that smoking is a prestige symbol or that one achieves some status from smoking. [More…]
I remember that as a young chap people tried to encourage me to smoke by saying: If you do not smoke you will never be a man - you will be something odd’, or by making remarks of that kind. [More…]
Those of us who fear for the future of the Great Barrier Reef are caught in the conflict between the scientists who say that it is a cyclic epidemic and the scientists who say that it is man made. [More…]
If it is a man made epidemic, man must undertake immediate and strong control measures. [More…]
Recently a man in Cairns wanted to obtain a few crown of thorns starfish for scientific research. [More…]
However I would like to point out one significant fact that has not been mentioned so far, and that is that the Torres Strait Islanders who have been in that area for many centuries had a word for the crown of thorns starfish, although their language is not a written language. [More…]
However, as to the particular case, I am advised the man in question was born in France and has since become a naturalised Australian. [More…]
In 1940, at the request of the Menzies Government, he undertook the chairmanship of the Central Wool Committee which had been set up to administer the wartime handling of the Australian wool clip. [More…]
During the following 2 years he become chairman of the Australian Shipping Control Board, the Marine Risks Insurance Board, the Commonwealth Marine Salvage Board and the Allied Consultative Shipping Council in Australia. [More…]
His tireless efforts to bring an end to that unhappy conflict were not to succeed, but it was widely recognised that he had done as much as any man could possibly have done in most difficult circumstances. [More…]
It is, nonetheless, as an outstanding man of law that Sir Owen Dixon will be remembered. [More…]
He commanded respect in every field of human endeavour [More…]
Australia has indeed lost a great man. [More…]
His death on 7th July took from us a man whose legal eminence was such that he was regarded by many as the greatest judge in the English speaking world. [More…]
Yet this man who towered amongst his contempories was a gentle, kind, courteous and patient man. [More…]
He possessed a retiring disposition, but to those who knew him well he was a man of very great friendship, a man who was loved very much by all who knew him. [More…]
It is wonderful that a man of such quality, such great attainment and of such fame throughout the world lost none of the modesty of a gentleman and of a scholar. [More…]
1 trust that the portrait of Sir Owen which hangs in one of the lobbies of this Parliament the only portrait I can recall hanging in these halls of a Justice of the High Court who was not at some time a member of this Parliament - will be transferred to a more public position so that those who see it and who may not know may ask who this man was. [More…]
I join with Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson and Senator Murphy in extending condolences to those who survive this great man. [More…]
He said there was no other safe guide to judicial decisions in great conflict than a strict and complete legalism, lt was the stamp of the man and the quality of his intellect that he adhered to that faithfully. [More…]
I know that all who had that same privilege and the privilege of appearing before him will always treasure their memories of a great man of vast legal intellect and also a towering man of unfailing courtesy and great modesty. [More…]
His unfailing courtesy and attention to the arguments of even the most unable of the Bar signalised him as a man to whom genuine respect was accorded always. [More…]
One demonstrates the humility of this man. [More…]
1 have the first on the information of a non-lawyer, a great human character, the late Senator George McLeay, who was Minister responsible for shipping and transport at the time. [More…]
I have been advised that a wide range of biological effects can be produced in experimental animals or in human beings by exposure to large doses of ionizing radiation delivered in a short period of time, that is, at high dose rates. [More…]
There are, I understand, many technical difficulties which prevent direct evaluation of any effects of radiation doses on experimental animals at low levels approaching that of natural background radiation and even more so at the still lower levels resulting from fallout in Australia. [More…]
The difficulties are even greater in the case of man. [More…]
He is a friend of mine and a man I admire. [More…]
So I do not think we have the right to assume that we, as a Commonwealth group of people, have suddenly discovered environmental problems or conservation and ecological management, or multiple use disciplines, or that they have been arrived at in later years by a sudden flash of genius in the Commonwealth Parliament. [More…]
Just in passing, I say that the Boyd Plateau is an area of native hardwood forest which was practically destroyed in earlier years by man himself who burnt the forest every year for the purpose of grazing. [More…]
In Tasmania 10 years ago certain forests were thinned out and the best logs were taken out for milling purposes. [More…]
A reevaluation of those forests after very few years - it was given to me by one man as 8 years - showed a complete regeneration of the hardwood forests to a stage at which a thinning for commercial purposes was required again. [More…]
Secondly, forests, whether natural or man made, constitute one of man’s few renewable resources. [More…]
I believe it because the man who told me that was a competent, honest and dedicated man. [More…]
Has the Australian Broadcasting Commis sion been engaged in producing an Australian situation comedy, entitled ‘Our Man in Canberra’, the star of which is Mr Jeff Ashby, a well-known Australian actor. [More…]
There have been many reports. [More…]
Everyone in authority in this country knows that smoking is harmful, a killer and the cause of great morbidity and loss of man hours in income. [More…]
Of course, as man becomes more clever in terms of pharmacology we will have, understandably, more drugs. [More…]
There stands no greater physician in this country today and no greater man. [More…]
Having commended the report, 1 say that the causation of drug ingestion is far deeper than human knowledge of it extends at this moment. [More…]
It appears to me that throughout human history we have been obsessed with the material sciences. [More…]
Since man’s emergence, he has fought for his material security; he has fought to overcome his bodily epidemic and endemic diseases; and he has concentrated the whole of his attention on the business of material and physical existence without giving any real thought at all to the whole purpose of living. [More…]
I take my argument further: To this day in every one of our tertiary institutions there is a predominance of material science and a serious minority - even a withdrawal - of the humanities. [More…]
It seems to me that, if man wants to solve these problems of drug ingestion and obsession with drug taking, he has to look to the business of living rather than of earning a living; he has to look to the kind of society in which he wants to live without opting out of it. [More…]
I think that man cannot live by bread alone. [More…]
I think that man has to find out how to motivate positively his spiritual, moral and ethical qualities, his hungers and his dissatisfactions in order to go forward. [More…]
I have gone on record before as saying this: The 2 greatest things that can be done in relation to this problem in the wider sense are, firstly, in parallel with the Academy of Science presently existing, to set up an academy of human science and, secondly, to recognise that it is high time we drew together all the discipline of man. [More…]
Honourable senators have heard me ask in the chamber whether we would encourage Sir John Crawford of the Australian National University and the vice-chancellors of all other universities to set up a each university in Australia a faculty of human science drawing together man as the study. [More…]
The synthesis of man and not the analysis of his left toe nail is the key to this situation. [More…]
We have been too busy fragmenting man and looking for palliatives for the pimple on his nose to realise that our job in life is to synthesise man. [More…]
I put to the Senate my proposal for an academy of human science. [More…]
I put to the Senate and plead with it to go along with me that in every university we should introduce the study of man - that is, whole man - as a primary discipline, and study primary man in his spiritual qualities as well as his material qualities. [More…]
Having said that, as a third plank, I draw attention to the fact - again, honourable senators have heard me say this here before - that the characteristic of human morbidity and of human sickness in the past 50 years has been the growth of illness which has been psychosomatic in its causation, that is. [More…]
No matter how we might argue on either side of this table about a national health scheme, that national health scheme will fail and we will do harm to man if we merely finance a system which brings more and more people with stress crippling diseases into the waiting rooms of general practitioners. [More…]
There are many on which I disagree profoundly. [More…]
Although we are looking at man, we are looking at man and his ingestion of drugs to opt out or to escape. [More…]
We ought to put our ideologies aside when we are dealing with this problem because we are dealing with the slaughter of human lives. [More…]
The fact is that in every country of the world, whatever ideology may be followed, this attitude of man, finding that society is failing him and seeking to look within himself and seeking to become introverted is characteristic. [More…]
I put the proposition - and I think that Senator Murphy half went along with it - that man had had from his emergence until the last generation primary struggles to survive materially and to keep a healthy body. [More…]
Man had a reason to stick together as a family man, had a reason to combine his income, and had a reason to study because he wanted a full tummy; a healthy body, a clothed body and. [More…]
If indeed it has been said that the last enemy is death, the second last enemy is human conflict, the fact that man has not learnt to live side by side with man, to recognise the right of the other fellow to be different and yet to give him the freedom to be different. [More…]
But this Parliament has never thought - and indeed, I think, any parliament in the world has never thought - of turning to an academy of man to get some advice about the human sciences. [More…]
drawing together knowledge of man and for the first time in history have people from outside querying everything that we do here by saying: ‘Hey, stop it! [More…]
That is not in the true nature of man. [More…]
The end that we serve is man and his dignity and freedom. [More…]
We think of another age group and realise that drug dependency is a consolation to that species of man called woman, some of whom find intolerable burdens and pressures in social isolation and some of whom do not find personal fulfilment in their present role in our society. [More…]
For this particular species of man there is a dependence on some drugs, and an education programme for that part of our society would need to be very different from that which would be addressed to youth with all its colour and vibrancy. [More…]
Of course, to man himself it has become used as a support; to man who finds himself in a harshly competitive world which is so critical of the values which he thought were important and the priorities which he has determined and which have now been rejected by so many people in society. [More…]
It is a document that can help anybody who is man enough or woman enough to wake up to the fact that he or she has a problem. [More…]
We found it necessary to discover how many drug dependent people there are in Australia, the main drugs on which they are dependent, and any other information concerning numbers and types that could be made available on a reliable basis. [More…]
The Victorian Government has undertaken to evolve a system and has set up a committee under the direction of Dr Alan Stoller, a learned and widely known and respected man in the field. [More…]
During the month of July it involved many hundreds of people connected with church groups throughout Australia. [More…]
Having attended many of the summing-up meetings I have been more than interested to try to gather for myself some impression of what the general public and the man in the street are thinking about Australia’s role so far as Action For World Development and our contribution to international aid are concerned. [More…]
That is right, Senator Milliner; subdue the little man. [More…]
1 defy anybody to supply shipping services to Tasmania with such a steep increase in labour costs. [More…]
It startled me to note in relation to the experience not of the ANL but of another little service to an island near Tasmania - King Island - that a new ship built in Cairns and manned by Australian seamen ran for 5 weeks and incurred a loss of $100,000. [More…]
It has been tied up for 8 weeks because of a union demand that leading able bodied seamen be paid $8,330 per annum for work amounting to 30 weeks of the year. [More…]
Originally the demand was for 26 weeks’ work. [More…]
If one looks at the Australian Stevedoring Industry Authority’s report for 1971 one will see that the stage had been reached where the average weekly earnings of waterside workers at permanent ports in June 1971 were $91.85 a week - an increase in that year from $81 a week. [More…]
Labor supporters turn a blind eye to the enormity of the demand. [More…]
As the honourable senator knows, a tax is imposed for incidental benefits for these gentry of $1 per man hour, which represents $8 per man per day. [More…]
Only under that vicious impost of labour costs can the people of Tasmania be supplied with shipping services. [More…]
The other point I want to make is that when the Tasmanian Labor Government has to give some attention to this matter the Minister for Transport goes round the union offices begging: ‘Please exempt Tasmania from your disruption’. [More…]
Some of those who try to curry favour with the people for the purpose of supporting their political party make noises which, as they are printed, are calculated to lead others to think that they would have some consideration for Tasmania. [More…]
In Melbourne some months ago a businessman purchased a Ford Cortina motor car and because of the multiple faults, because of the poor pre-delivery service, because of the poor after sales service, in respect of which he said that so frequently had he visited the service station which retailed the article to him that he felt like a full time employee rather than a man with complaints, he decided to take action. [More…]
It is a private investigation service which has been hired by the man who had the trouble, lt was hired at a great deal of expense to himself. [More…]
Knowing the ropes a bit (unlike the average hapless family Holden man) I telephoned Mr Kevin Cox, GMH public relations officer at Fishermen’s Bend, and put the screws on. [More…]
But there are conditions upon the registration of those agreements which, in the case of a publicly financed and publicly protected organism that exists upon the waterfront and which is paid moneys raised by taxation, represent now no less than SI per man-hour of waterside workers’ labours in class A ports. [More…]
That is nearly $8 a man for every working day of 8 hours. [More…]
I think that he will find no greater pleasure than knowing that the Millewa water scheme is now to have a piped water supply, as he has sought for many years. [More…]
I know that the Senate will be interested that Sir Winton Turnbull will be succeeded in the other place - I speak confidently of this - by a young man, well known in the field of irrigation, and one who has a great interest in irrigation. [More…]
He will succeed Sir Winton in .the other place and again will bring experience in farm management knowledge field to the Parliament. [More…]
The Treasurer’s typical family man - the average wage earner with a wife and 2 children - pays a higher proportion of his income in tax under the McMahon Government than under any government in our history. [More…]
A man on that income will pay $1.80 a week less in tax. [More…]
A man on that income will pay $2.35 a week less in tax. [More…]
A man on $147 a week will pay $4.05 a week less in tax. [More…]
A man on that income will pay $5.75 a week less in tax. [More…]
The next page shows the case of a man on $67 a week with a dependent wife and 4 dependent children but with an additional expenditure of $500 a year which is shown in concessional deductions. [More…]
How can any government argue that a young man with a dependent wife and 4 dependent children going through the most expensive time of his life and having to pay another $500 unavoidable expenditure during the year because of misfortunes, should still be taxed at the rate of $2.50 a week? [More…]
These figures make it clear that the Budget is a rich man’s budget. [More…]
Why should the wife of a rich man be much more valuable to him in terms of tax concessions than the wife of a poor man?. [More…]
The man who is paying 65c in the dollar in tax will be relieved of paying 52 multiplied by 65c. [More…]
The man paying only 10c in the dollar in tax will be relieved of paying 52 multiplied by 10c. [More…]
If a man has had a period of unemployment during the year and if in that year he does not pay any taxation, the relief that the Government is giving him in 52 multiplied by nothing, which is still nothing. [More…]
On recent performance, those with above average incomes - remember that these are the people getting the lion’s share of the tax handouts - will bank their tax cuts. [More…]
Rent and land, for instance - 2 major costs to the Treasurer’s ‘typical suburban family man’ - will continue to rise unchecked. [More…]
The Government cry of ‘taxes down, pensions up, and particular help to the family man’ is deliberate political deceit and economic dishonesty. [More…]
The Budget debate is not an occasion for solo flights, or for one man to try to cover the whole field of economic policy, economic strategy, concessions, broad designs and specific details. [More…]
For example, the reduction in tax payable by a married man with 2 children who is earning $67 per week and claiming $500 a year as deductions is $67 a year. [More…]
What this means is that a man or a woman who wishes in his or her lifetime to make arrangements to pass his or her affairs on to his or her children, will be able to do so sensibly and wisely provided action is taken within a reasonable time. [More…]
It ls a country in which any man can become rich by his own endeavours, his own efforts, his energies and his own abilities. [More…]
I like to feel that a man who starts with nothing and carves his empire - we all know these people - would have the opportunity to see the results of his efforts go in succession to those whom he wishes to carry on after him in the same line of ownership with the same line of continuity. [More…]
Secondly, the family man was becoming affected to a greater degree. [More…]
It sees itself led by a man who is simply unacceptable to the great majority of Australians. [More…]
Service of the Parliamentary Library show that in 1953-54 a married man with a wife and 2 children paid 3.9 per cent of his total income in taxation. [More…]
In 1960-61 when the average weekly earnings were $46, family concessional deductions, based on a man, wife and 2 children, totalled $598. [More…]
We find that a man with an income of $67 a week will receive a reduction of $82 a year. [More…]
A man receiving $98 a week will obtain a reduction of $143 a year. [More…]
A man on $7,000 a year with a wife and 2 children obtains a reduction of $193. [More…]
A man with an income of $12,000 a year will receive a reduction of $374. [More…]
A rich man’s Budget, indeed. [More…]
This Government prefers to keep the unfortunate people who are unemployed on the breadline, but at the same time it gives to a man on an income of $12,000 a reduction in taxation of $374 a year. [More…]
I point out that one of the most dangerous .tendencies developing in this country - it was referred to by Senator Willesee - is for a permanent pool of unemployed to be in our midst. [More…]
stage where we also will have it permanently with us, particularly if we have a continuation of Liberal government. [More…]
The main point made by Senator Willesee and repeated by Senator Wriedt was that this is a rich man’s Budget. [More…]
It is completely negative to say that the benefits that have been granted in so many areas to pensioners and to those on lower incomes, the benefits that will be conferred through the various social service measures or through an easing of the means test, through the repatriation benefits that are proposed, the child care benefits that we see before us and, indeed, the increase in the home savings grant that will be payable to the younger people in the community, are areas of influence designed to encourage a vote from the rich men in this community, if that is what the Opposition is attempting to say. [More…]
The most prominent light in this Budget is the benefits which must flow, as a direct result from proposed Budget measures, to the working man and to his family, to those who rely on the community for financial assistance to gain regular income and, to a minor extent, to the business community. [More…]
Does the Opposition believe that the Budget is a rich man’s budget? [More…]
It is a budget designed to put more money into the pay packet of the average working man. [More…]
I challenge the Opposition to state that this is really a rich man’s budget. [More…]
Many financial measures of support are provided in this Budget. [More…]
I note that in regard to industrial training, assistance is to be provided for the fares of unemployed people in order to help them to seek employment in other areas, ls this a Budget designed to help the rich man? [More…]
I challenge the Opposition to prove that this is a rich man’s budget. [More…]
However, I believe that a demand will be generated which may encourage manufacturers to produce more or produce articles for sale at a lower price. [More…]
The interests of the working man under the type of coalition Government that has existed in Australia for the past 20 years have been well served because he has had more money in his pocket and certainly the prices of goods have been lower. [More…]
For the price at which car manufacturers put an ordinary working man’s car on the road, in the context of providing a cheap car, they do a really wonderful job. [More…]
This shows the hollowness of the argument of a man who complains about a manufacturer. [More…]
The individual by whom this matter was raised really -had no argument with the company and is anxious to have another vehicle manufactured by that same company. [More…]
Senator Webster spoke about a working man’s car. [More…]
Mine is not a working man’s car. [More…]
The cars that are available today for a working man cost in the vicinity of $2,500 to $3,000 but by the time he goes to Senator Webster’s friends and borrows money at an interest rate of 16 per cent flat, his car costs him $3,500 before he has paid for it. [More…]
He is a better man than you are, Gunga Din. [More…]
He looks only a relatively young man. [More…]
It is all right for him to lose that kind of money because he is a wealthy man but he spoke of the Valiant as a worker’s car. [More…]
He said that in Melbourne some months ago a businessman purchased a Ford Cortina motor car. [More…]
They reminded me of my monthly bill from the Ford Motor Co. which manufactured the vehicle that I drive. [More…]
The fact that so many replies were received shows that the people have been sold a pig in the poke in the Cortina. [More…]
Therefore, Senator Primmer has done a good job as an ombudsman in regard to motor cars. [More…]
the speed, the clocks, the closed television circuit and the man with the mirror looking down on the workers all the time to see that they are passing the cars out through the sausage machine. [More…]
I refer to all the money that is spent on advertising which comes out of the pocket of the working man to pay for the newspaper advertisements and all the other gimmicks. [More…]
But I will stand up to him man to man at any time or in any place. [More…]
Will the Minister tell the Senate the name of the man who is to conduct the inquiry, what are the terms of reference, and when will the inquiry begin? [More…]
The Prime Minister informed the Leader of the Opposition that the terms of reference had now been decided upon and that this would be a one-man inquiry. [More…]
The Prime Minister further advised the Leader of the Opposition that the man who will conduct the inquiry is at present out of Australia but will return on Sunday and that, when he has returned, his name and the terms of reference will be announced. [More…]
If I supply the name and address of the Aborigine concerned, will the Minister take immediate action to ensure that the man obtains one of the positions financed by Commonwealth unemployment relief funds? [More…]
the house with a slightly retarded Aboriginal man. [More…]
Her screams for help were ignored by the second man. [More…]
The man who complains, Senator Negus. [More…]
I believe that there are many ingredients in the Budget that will achieve this purpose. [More…]
The Leader of the Opposition in another place (Mr Whitlam) referred to this as a rich man’s Budget. [More…]
I may say that he was a man of great enthusiasm when he held that portfolio. [More…]
It amazes me that the Government can talk about these things when in 1939 a man who later became Prime Minister resigned from the Government over the concept of national insurance being rejected. [More…]
If the Government introduced a clear-cut national health scheme, the people would not find themselves in no-man’s land now because they have insufficient coverage under the present national health scheme. [More…]
Future shock is the inability of many people to adapt themselves to the rapid changes that are taking place everywhere in the world. [More…]
of the white man’s influence there and 50-odd years of Australian influence there. [More…]
The Australian arbitration system, providing as it does conciliators and arbitrators in the form of umpires to decide disputes that dislocate the working man’s employment, gives a unique opportunity to the Australian working man to prosper rather than grovel under the primitive system of collective bargaining where one group exerts its economic force against the other, stops work and creates chaos. [More…]
It is a class Budget; it is a Budget which perpetuates the taxing of the man in the street. [More…]
The Budget will solve nothing, despite the attempts of its framers to ease somewhat the taxation problems facing the average man, despite attempts to increase pensions, despite endeavours to provide subsidies to those in need, despite attempts to improve the lot of students in secondary and tertiary establishments and despite many of the other gimmicks which are characteristics of this election Budget. [More…]
It is a case of the Commonwealth making a big man of itself and leaving other arms of government to carry the financial burden. [More…]
In particular, the single income family, the typical suburban family man is being hard hit. [More…]
It shows that the taxpayers, every man jack of them - every man, woman and child in this country - will pay to the Commonwealth this financial year, the .me starting as from 1st July 1972, and the one we are discussing with respect to the current Budget, an additional $38 per head in tax to the Commonwealth. [More…]
1 come back to the point that I made earlier: In the final analysis, this Budget affects the man in the street, the ordinary taxpayer. [More…]
This shows that the States’ loan repayments total $546,163,000 representing $42 per head for every man woman and child in Australia. [More…]
In his documents he has stressed that the Government recognises that the family man is heavily taxed; he is carrying too big a burden; the family man needs to obtain relief. [More…]
Many words have been written on these subjects but the Budget ignores all the words which have been written and spoken. [More…]
Let us suppose that the world market price for a certain product - be it a bale of wool or 2 cwt of butter - is SI 00 and the world market price for another manufactured commodity, such as a wireless set or a tape recorder, is $100. [More…]
There are 2 ways in which we can protect the Australian manufacturers if, because of our high cost structure, he needs to sell his product for $150. [More…]
The Government or the taxpayer gives the industry $50 to bring the return to the manufacturer to $150. [More…]
The man on a low wage with a big family does not pay very much tax and will pay very little subsidy but the rich man will pay a lot more because he pays more tax and the money for the subsidy comes out of the tax poo). [More…]
To a man such as Mr Frost perhaps a 2 per cent level of unemployment may not mean very much. [More…]
There are many reasons for this. [More…]
Mr McMahon is a very egotistical man. [More…]
His tax is $1.50 a week less than that of the man earning S67 a week with a wife and 2 dependent children. [More…]
Is it the mine manager? [More…]
Or is it the man who is working on the job? [More…]
This is from a man who has done quite a lot for pensioners. [More…]
The first was an admission, which I had never before heard from a member of the Australian Labor Party, that many workers - he did not define them and I will deal with that point in a moment - voted for the Government. [More…]
I wonder what those workers think when the Government is accused of continually attacking the working man. [More…]
It is true that many people who are generally and loosely termed workers do not approve of the actions of many of their union leaders. [More…]
One of Mr Whitlam’s complaints was that it was a rich man’s Budget. [More…]
When the debate was interrupted last night I had been reminded by my colleague Senator Webster that perhaps the muteness of the Australian Labor Party over the Budget was because its supporters really believe the claim that it is a rich man’s Budget and therefore so many of them stand to gain from it. [More…]
The taxable income of a man with a dependent wife and 2 dependent children of $5,124 now drops to $4,968. [More…]
In the higher brackets of taxable income - there would be very few, if any, honourable senators on this side of the chamber in these brackets - the percentage decrease on a taxable income of $18,000 for a man with a dependent wife and 4 dependent children will be only 9.1. [More…]
I find no greater condemnation of Mr Whitlam’s statement than a statement made by Mr Crean, the shadow Treasurer whom we all accept as being a man of talents and responsibility. [More…]
When travelling around the city in which I live, and its suburbs, I frequently see, as other honourable senators would see in their respective districts, many substantial homes which are deteriorating for want of paint, a bit of attention by a handy man or a carpenter or a plumber. [More…]
A lot has been said about the need to help the family man. [More…]
The only effective way in which to help the family man is through child endowment. [More…]
Let us look at the position of a married man who has a wife and 4 or 5 children in relation to a single man who is receiving the same pay. [More…]
We now can include in this, since we have equal pay for the sexes, the unmarried woman who has neither chick nor child to keep but who receives the same wage. [More…]
Is the married man who has a wife and 4 or 5 children to keep not entitled to something more than the single man or the single woman who have no obligations? [More…]
Why are we so slow to recognise the worth of the family man to society? [More…]
But it avoids the error made by many past Treasurers of spreading its benefits so widely that no one notices them. [More…]
Lastly, its emphasis is placed on the family man and it seeks to alleviate his more pressing economic problems. [More…]
The DLP hopes that this emphasis will continue in following Budgets because in our view the family man is the basis of a sound and healthy Australia. [More…]
This is simply a formula for reducing the income of the man on the land, for reducing our receipts from exports from mining companies and - what is not generally appreciated by honourable senators opposite - for increasing unemployment in the factories in our cities. [More…]
I have said often in this place - I have drawn the attention of Senator Wright to this fact - that the Commonwealth Government has not yet, in cooperation with the States, demanded the establishment of a uniform system of keeping industrial accident statistics. [More…]
The loss of production last year through unemployment totalled 20 million man days whereas the loss of production resulting from strikes was only 3 million man days. [More…]
Loss of production resulting from accidents on the job amounted to 4 million man days. [More…]
It wastes wealth and manpower. [More…]
Estimates based on the current economic situation show that the loss of production caused by unemployment will run at approximately 24 million man days this year. [More…]
This year, I believe, for the first time for many years this Budget affects everyone in a very beneficial way. [More…]
I believe that many people will benefit from it. [More…]
As I understand it - and I have been a working man for many years - this Budget will put more money into the pockets of the working man. [More…]
It will benefit business people and our country as a whole, lt may seem strange that from, a Budget in which taxes are reduced many sections of our community will gain additional and, in some cases, many new benefits. [More…]
1 believe that the Government in the United States has done that because lt feels that if a man gives people money during his lifetime, especially to members of his family, they use that money to create employment, perhaps for a deposit on a home or some such purpose. [More…]
I have said in Western Australia and in other States that the police should be told to man the parking areas of hotels and clubs and to lake the car keys from anyone who has been in those premises. [More…]
What can be said of the sincerity of a man who attacks the Government’s means test decision as ‘a vague uncosted promise’ (ignoring Mr Wentworth’s well publicised figures) and then immediately matches it with a similar promise from Labor? [More…]
Is the television programme ‘Our Man in Canberra’ a comedy or satirical programme designed for general entertainment and nol designed to deliberately influence the result of an election. [More…]
The Commission believes that by showing Our Man in Canberra’ it could be in breach of Section 116(2.) [More…]
Recently it became necessary to revise the investigation because of the recent decision to man Army boats with naval personnel. [More…]
Senate Select Committee on Drug Trafficking and Drug Abuse its Chairman, the Assistant Minister to the Minister for Health and Leader of the Government in the Senate, Senator Marriott, has been invited and will attend the 30th International Congress on Alcoholism and Drug Dependence to be held in Amsterdam from 4th to 9th September. [More…]
At the Congress, the theme of which is ‘Man and His Mind Changers’, Senator Marriott will be a member of a Panel which will discuss cannabis and the attitudes of governments and the medical profession towards it. [More…]
This is the Party which says that the richest man’s son can go to a State school or a State high school and that the Labor Party will send him there free and keep him. [More…]
What did the man who made no impact at all upon the Americans do? [More…]
A man in the Department is paid $22,000 a year which is probably a lot more than some general practitioners receive because they have costs to subtract before they obtain a profit of $22,000. [More…]
I doubt whether many general practitioners would earn that amount. [More…]
But here we have a man earning $22,000 a year and his satellites are assistant secretaries or first secretaries. [More…]
I just could not get it into mat stupid man’s head that I was a locum tenens and therefor acting for that doctor. [More…]
Some little man had just decided that it should be put in the regulations and he did this. [More…]
How would a Minister like it if be went to his doctor suffering from asthma, which is a nasty disease, and the doctor said: ‘Yes, I think you now need Intal’, and then said that be had to write to a doctor in Hobart, Perth, or some other capital city in order to obtain approval from a man who does not clinically examine the patient and who has to take the doctor’s word for what he writes. [More…]
The point is that the Minister is so dead scared of the head of his Department that he just approves these regulations and says: ‘What a silly man that general practitioner is to complain about you when I know that as head of the Department you are wonderful!’ [More…]
That is, the young man or young woman who is attending a university because he or she wants to gain, say, a Bachelor of Arts degree or a Bachelor of Science degree - who wants to acquire a qualification which will lift him or her out of the rut - but who does not really want to be a teacher, yet may develop the idea of becoming a teacher notwithstanding that he or she was not motivated originally by that idea, should not be placed in a slot separate from that of students in all other faculties who have chosen their profession and who may have the benefit of scholarships which will permit them to achieve their goal. [More…]
As an egalitarian person, I am not interested in whether a man is an agent-general, a boilermaker or a company executive. [More…]
I support the motion which has been moved by the Acting Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Drake-Brockman). [More…]
It was especially frightful because throughout the long history of man this has been one of the occasions when men have agreed not to commit acts of war against one ‘ another and to hold those Games from ancient times in a spirit of peace and to suspend their hostilities during the period of the Games to permit persons to come and go freely and to participate in them. [More…]
It will go down in history as one of the great atrocities committed by human beings one against the other because those against whom the acts were committed - those who died - were innocent. [More…]
A young man at that demonstration [More…]
At the outset I want to state that the Government is not opposed to the concept of more real leisure for the Australian working man any more than it is in any way opposed to the concept of increased real wages for the work force of this country. [More…]
It applauds both concepts, and by its progressive policies over many years it has worked steadily to achieve both objectives. [More…]
The man has already gone senile. [More…]
So, I ask the Minister for Air (Senator DrakeBrockman): What are the 15 official reasons why the Governor-General had to travel to Perth in a VIP aircraft? [More…]
There is no doubt that this man has abused the system completely. [More…]
What we should do is have the manifest setting out VIP aircraft usage tabled every month in the Senate, instead of every 6 months, so that we then can keep up with VIP aircraft usage and find out what is going on. [More…]
What the honourable senator is saying is that he is an honest man and he did this properly. [More…]
We have Sir Charles Gardner, who is an admirable man, Sir Mark Oliphant and Sir Roden Cutler in New South Wales. [More…]
But I want to point out to Senator Sim that in South Australia we have a manufacturing industry manufacturing consumer durables which depends on markets in other States. [More…]
When there is a recession in other States and people are out of work and have not a dollar in their pockets to buy those commodities which we manufacture, we suffer in South Australia. [More…]
I heard the then Mr Robert Menzies say with great gusto that the greatest foreman any employer could get was a line of men waiting at the gate for another man’s job. [More…]
He implied that you did not need a foreman when you had other men waiting for a job. [More…]
Of course, one way of combating strikes is to have a lot of people waiting at the gate for another man’s job. [More…]
Allan Barnes, the chief political correspondent of the ‘Age’ in Canberra, a man who has his finger right on the pulse, in an article stated: [More…]
I am not a poultry farmer now because I believe in the principle of one man, one job. [More…]
1 refer now to the case of a young man who had 10 years’ service in the Permanent Army and who has serviced in Malaya and Vietnam. [More…]
No provision was made for preference to the returned serviceman from the Vietnam conflict or for the ex-Permanent Army man to tender. [More…]
Yet we hear Senator McManus interject that the Labor Party conscripted men. [More…]
1 defy Senator McManus to say that it was. [More…]
What Government supporters do not realise is that when a man works a 35-hour week he spends many additional hours each week travelling to and from his job. [More…]
He works just as many hours as do many primary producers. [More…]
He has more courage and guts than these 2 honourable senators will ever have, yet repeatedly in this Parliament they have criticised that man. [More…]
In addition to my complaint about the Estimates and about how things were steamrollered through on the last occasion, there is another bad feature which has manifested itself on numerous occasions. [More…]
We of the Opposition can match Government speakers man for man, if the Government wants it that way. [More…]
When the Minister or the Acting Leader of the Government come up with a proposal, my mind automatically thinks about whether we are to be outmanoeuvred on the point at issue. [More…]
I do not see why the whole of the Parliament should wait upon the decision of one man. [More…]
No-one says that he is not a powerful man. [More…]
In the early 1920s, Australia produced a great man. [More…]
A passport was issued to this man in February of this year. [More…]
Will the Minister draw to the attention of those responsible for this photograph that clothes and not guns maketh the man? [More…]
Is it right that something a man did which was thought to be against the law by a lot of people but which in fact was not contrary to any law, should foe made a criminal action by means of an Act of Parliament which we are being asked to pass today after the event? [More…]
It is curious how often the rights of man will come up in a curious way. [More…]
Often the great rights of human beings have been determined in cases which have centred on the fate of some despicable human being. [More…]
Some man was up on a charge of rape and there were a few other cases of trespass and so on. [More…]
It could be argued, as a matter of pure logic, that if all these ordinances and regulations were inoperative every man - murderers, rapists and people guilty of the most heinous crimes - not only should be freed but also should be entitled to compensation. [More…]
Unlike his predecessors, 1 thought him a very insecure little man. [More…]
I say that with respect to the man himself because he has his weaknesses and I suppose they should not be held eternally against him. [More…]
They are Australian people whether they come from Greece or South Africa or whether their ancestors were born in Australia before white man visited the country or whether they came from Timbucktoo. [More…]
As explained in the Budget Speech, these increases in dependants allowances, together with the reductions in income tax proposed by the preceding Bill, are directed to easing the tax burdens of the family man and the single income family in particular. [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…]
For that reason the Serbs maintained complete control of the Government and they rejected the demands of the Croats for autonomy within a federal republic. [More…]
A man called Racic who was opposed to the Croats ran towards the tribune. [More…]
The first man was shot dead in the presence of thirty or forty people, but according to their stories to the police not one of them saw him shot. [More…]
I do not have the hospital report of this man, or anything of that kind, but I am quoting from a newspaper reports referring to a Mr Marjan Jurjevic. [More…]
It is true that a man called Ante Pavelie became the leader of an organisation known as the Ustasha or, as it is sometimes called, the Ustashi. [More…]
Noone would make any bones about the fact that this man was a dictator. [More…]
It does not seem any more remarkable to me that a man like Pavelic should attempt to do a deal with Hitler than that Mr Churchill and President Roosevelt should sit down at a later date with Joseph Stalin, one of the most evil men ever - certainly the most evil since Cromwell. [More…]
I know of a man whom this fellow asked to spy on his fellow Croats so that he could refer the information to the Yugoslav Embassy. [More…]
I am not allowed to repeat in the Parliament the refusal which his fellow countryman gave him. [More…]
Senator Willesee referred to attempts to kill this man. [More…]
The opinion of the Attorney-General expressed by the Melbourne ‘Herald’ was: The other day upon the stair I met a man who wasn’t there. [More…]
Apparently the police are as incompetent in this regard as they are in trying to find this man, whatever his name is. [More…]
I also had consultations with the Special Division of the New South Wales Police Force following a 6- man delegation of Yugoslavs which saw Mr Renshaw and his predecessor, Mr Heffron. [More…]
I assure Senator Greenwood that not one of the members of the Special Division believes the romances of Mr Lesic. [More…]
He is a man full of fantasy. [More…]
He makes just as many allegations against the Government and the Special Division in New South Wales as he makes against anyone else. [More…]
If honourable senators read the dialogue by Mr Rover on the television programme ‘This Day Tonight’ they will see that he is a very skilful man with words. [More…]
I do not always agree with Senator McManus but the honourable senator argued about a citizen and his rights. [More…]
Obviously the man was in Canada. [More…]
I cannot repeat enough and enough that there are many little incidents. [More…]
Because they were clapping the Yugal soccer club against the Croatian Soccer Sports Club the man was held while another fellow kicked him in the stomach. [More…]
He is the most ill informed man as far as foreign ideologies are concerned. [More…]
I give Senator McManus some concessions, but not Senator Gair. [More…]
We are going to have to live with the man in the hood for a long time; certainly until the present generation of terrorists, the Slack September men- [More…]
As one of my colleagues said, on one occasion a man was murdered in the presence of 30 or 40 people and none of them knew anything about it. [More…]
But why does he not admit that on all the evidence, on all the probabilities and on all the likelihoods that would have appealed to any man of any political sophistication at all, these outrages are clearly the work of extreme right wing Croatians dedicated to the partition of the Yugoslav state and are clearly motivated by anti- Yugoslav Government tendencies? [More…]
I submit that the mere recital of this list of outrages makes it clear beyond reasonable doubt - I am not suggesting that it establishes a case which could be brought in the courts - on the part of those who are concerned with reasonable political probability that in these bombings is a pattern of anti- Yugoslav Government and anti-Serbian-Croatian separatism, lt is a reasonable assumption for any sophisticated political man - I hope that honourable senators on the other side are included in that definition - to conclude that these are the actions of people who are prepared to take terroristic means to enforce their notion of the idea of a separate Croatia, that is, a Croatia separated from the Yugoslavia of which they disapprove. [More…]
As a diversion, but because it has become relevant in the light of the little historical disquisitions that we have had tonight, I did a bit of research, with the assistance of the Research Section of the Parliamentary Library, into the history of the Ustasha and particularly into the history of this man, Ante Pavelic. [More…]
I agree on Stalin who, frankly, is not a man for whom I would make any excuse for the crimes that he committed against his own people. [More…]
These people did not belong in the minor league because no less a person than the German diplomat Von Hassell - a German diplomat of World War II - recorded in his diary that the Nazi military commander in Croatia ‘called Marshal Kvaternik to account in the sharpest manner for the incredible cruelties practised by the Croats against the 1,800,000 Serbs’, and even submitted a report oh the subject. [More…]
He told Kvaternik that in late years he had lived through a great many, thing of this kind but nothing could compare with the misdeeds of the Croats. [More…]
The infamous Pavelich, the man who has been referred to with disapproval but, I suggest, not with sufficient horror by the members of the Government, escaped to Argentina, reportedly with the assistance of the Nazi escape organisation ODESSA. [More…]
Will the Minister give an assurance that any proven UDBA man will be deported from Australia? [More…]
i think it would be fair to say that I get many requests for the Royal Australian Air Force band to play at town festivals and similar functions. [More…]
In the case of which the honourable senator has spoken the Air Officer Commanding, Support Command, received a request for the band to play at a formal dinner arranged in honour of Sir Henry Bolte’s retirement. [More…]
I approved the request, believing that it was fitting for the band to play at a dinner to honour a man who, irrespective of political opinion, has given great personal service to Victoria. [More…]
Professor Colin Tatz was the first man to raise this matter. [More…]
It is a transit document which is signed by a member of the council but contersigned by a white man. [More…]
Many Queensland Aborigines protested at the embassy. [More…]
The farming community was brought back here when the white man brought with him the experience and the knowledge to know how to harness the natural resources to enable him to venture upon new undertakings. [More…]
The white man went to America from Europe. [More…]
That civilisation is not one of horses and carts but is one capable of sending man on journeys to the moon. [More…]
One cannot take the child in an environment such as this and shove the necessary foods down its throat, because the first time that the child gets ill what happens in the tribal circle is that the white man is condemned for the fact. [More…]
The Government was very foolish, in the first instance, in establishing the precedent by allowing a man to go on a starvation campaign or some kind of fast outside Parliament House. [More…]
That man was not even an Australian. [More…]
He was a foreigner protesting for a foreign cause and he was permitted to stay there for many weeks. [More…]
I had many discussions with them. [More…]
I had started negotiating with the Minister to get some kind of permanent lobby for them in Canberra. [More…]
Aborigines always have been a very dignified race, particularly until the white man introduced grog and things like that. [More…]
They asked me to come to Canberra and to talk more along the lines of the Government providing for Aborigines a building in Canberra which they could use for a permanent lobby. [More…]
They advised my fellow Aborigines not to listen to anyone negotiating for a permanent building here.. [More…]
As a man- [More…]
It is a public company, but there is a man called Barton. [More…]
There is another man. [More…]
In particular, the single income family, the typical suburban family man, is being hit hard. [More…]
This is the man who is critical today for no reason other than that he had the opportunity of speaking on the air. [More…]
The young man was later taken to sick bay and stitches were inserted in the cut. [More…]
A young man was being interviewed who was a high school boy from a Victorian high school. [More…]
Someone had apparently made some reference to the principal of that school and obviously had been reprimanded. [More…]
The principle of British justice is that a man is innocent unless he is proven guilty. [More…]
The next situation is that yesterday I told the Labor Party that if any members among them had specific evidence of any man being connected with any crime or allegation of crime it was their duty to give it to the AttorneyGeneral or his officers, or to the police officers. [More…]
I conclude by saying that the Parliament should not condemn a man until he has had a fair judicial trial. [More…]
He said: ‘If a Liberal man here went to a Conservative group in Britain or if a Labor man here went to the Social Democrats should he be debarred from the Public Service?’ [More…]
I want to deal with 2 points that Senator Carrick made when he manned the battlements. [More…]
I even went along with something Senator McManus said about drawing the line. [More…]
I am certain that Senator Carrick was a powerful man in the Liberal Party, either at State Council or Federal Council level. [More…]
As Senator Carrick would know from his service in World War II, people of Yugoslav origin living in Western Australia served in that war and might even have received a Victoria Cross - many of them have also served in other fields such as the sporting field - but those people have never indulged in stupid escapades designed to change the boundaries of Europe again. [More…]
There is no doubt that that is true in many areas. [More…]
If ever a man was traduced in this country, it was Doctor Evatt. [More…]
I say quite sincerely to Senator Carrick that this man left the Liberal Party because he felt that Sir Robert Askin was uncharitable to him over a landlord and tenancy matter. [More…]
I am not blaming Senator Carrick, but in order to defend the Labor Party and myself I have been forced to table this letter in the Senate to show that as many Liberal supporters as Labor supporters get disenchanted with their Party. [More…]
A gentleman was pushed out of the window and killed at the Yugoslav Club in Sydney on Saturday. [More…]
But not even they in their wildest flights of imagination would suggest that the dreaded Ustasha pushed this poor unfortunate man out of the window. [More…]
We have seen those standards in many of its institutions, branches and organisations in times past. [More…]
What about the man who said that there were friends of communists in the Australian Labor Party Executive? [More…]
He was denied the right, which election by his colleagues in Tasmania accorded him, of attending a Federal Executive meeting of the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
Senator Carrick - I think that there have been many occasions when Opposition members have accepted views which Senator Carrick has objectively and honestly put forward - wastonight stating the classic principle to which every member of the Government unerringly adheres. [More…]
That principle is that it is our system of justice that every man is presumed innocent until he is proven guilty. [More…]
The Attorney-General is not man enough to stand up in this place and say so. [More…]
However, I want to go back, as 1 did recently when discussing the Income Tax Assessment Bill, and refer to the policy espoused by the Prime Minister (Mr McMahon) because being a good Party man he was, in fact, putting forward the policy of his Party. [More…]
Any medical man will tell you that today one of the greatest medical problems of people in this group is loneliness. [More…]
Recently i was talking to the daughter of a personal friend of mine, a man of great character who once graced another House of this Parliament. [More…]
This woman is a nurse and is the mother of 6 children. [More…]
There are others who are not emotionally equipped to do the same thing or who may not have had the advantage of the training that this young woman has had to fit her for a wonderfully useful life not only for herself but to her husband and 6 young dependent Australians. [More…]
I know many people who want their cases investigated but they are not going to go along to a one-man tribunal and jay. [More…]
I know from the evidence I see from day to day that many ex-servicemen receive less than justice from this Government because it is prepared to be less than generous in interpreting the Repatriation Act. [More…]
I recall a particular case involving a man who was completely wrecked; a man who suffered war injuries and who today gets about a 20 per cent general pension in addition to what he can get from the burnt out diggers’ pension. [More…]
Because that man is too ill to travel to tribunals and because the Repatriation Department is not prepared to extend its services to places away from the metropolitan areas, he probably never will have the opportunity to bc properly assessed. [More…]
That man was unfit to travel to appear at a tribunal. [More…]
The Government has this tendency to treat exservicemen as second class citizens in the same way as it treats pensioners, many of the migrants and the Australian Aborigines as second class citizens. [More…]
Unless the Government is prepared to remember that the community is made up of people and to do something to uplift their general standards of living, it is hopeless for us to ask it to take the case of ex-servicemen in isolation and treat them as human beings. [More…]
Why should a man from north Queensland have to leave his home for many days, many weeks and sometimes many months in order to receive attention in a repatriation hospital in Brisbane? [More…]
I could cite many other figures from the report of the Department of Repatriation. [More…]
Once an allowance was paid to the widowed mother of a man killed in action. [More…]
1 do not know what has happened to many of the other repatriation benefits paid by the Labor Government in the immediate post-war years. [More…]
The Government cannot avoid its responsibility for almost 500 people, many of whom were national servicemen - forced soldiers - killed in Vietnam. [More…]
Many of these people do not receive repatriation benefits. [More…]
I draw the attention of Senator Keeffe to the fact that a man on a wage of $51.10 does not take that home; he takes home that amount less income tax and other deductions which bring it down well below the $48 provided for in this Bill. [More…]
As long as mankind is able to lift his standards, improve his knowledge and increase his efficiency we will never reach the end of the road. [More…]
I believe that we are doing something that has never been done before in the history of man. [More…]
But what I hope will be avoided is the no man’s land where there may be a senior wardsman who has some inner frustration because he is not a Doctor Kildare. [More…]
The low income earner is contributing a proportion of his income in taxation far higher than 10 or 15 years ago; the man on average weekly earnings or a little more is finding income taxation looming increasingly larger in his calculations; and the managerial or professional man is facing marginal rates of taxation which on any reasonable criteria are very high indeed. [More…]
The Treasurer said, secondly, that the family man, with all his other commitments, is finding that the income tax burden is looming ever larger as a problem and that in relation to his income on the question of fairness, the volume of taxation which he pays, should be re-evaluated. [More…]
The Treasurer made a further most important statement; he referred to a fact which has not been generally recognised in the community but which has an impact on many people. [More…]
Everyone should realise that there does come a point when a man says, ‘What is the use of my trying further?’ [More…]
In my experience of various industries I have seen employees ranging from the humble working man to the main executives who wish to take action which would reduce their taxation the incidence of which would in normal circumstances affect the individual’s incentive to work. [More…]
I have great sympathy for many young men who 1 know in our affluent society. [More…]
They have their permanent jobs, but when they knock off at 5 o’clock in the afternoon they go and work in a transport depot or in some other place in order to earn extra income so that they can maintain their cars, spend money on their girl friends or save money for a house which they propose to build. [More…]
The disincentive applies not only to the wage earner but also to the man in the higher salaried position. [More…]
For a man with a taxable income of $4,296 a year, who has a wife and 2 children, the reduction in taxation will be 19.6 per cent, and for a man with a wife and 4 dependent children the reduction will be 25.4 per cent. [More…]
Mr Minister, you are not an old man. [More…]
It is incongruous to have this proposition asserted in the present circumstances when one remembers that last year within BHP alone there was a loss of some 986,000 man hours because of strikes. [More…]
When we consider these facts we can put into perspective the attitude of the trade unions in regard to this matter of the manufacture of steel pipes. [More…]
My young brother was called up to do national service, but earlier this year lie went AWL from Puckapunyal and as a consequence he was posted to Kapooka (it is in NSW just north of Albury) he went AWL from Kapooka - as a result he was to be paraded before his Commanding Officer on a specific day. [More…]
The reason explained to my brother, and hence passed on to the family, was that a young man had attempted suicide and the officer concerned was busy. [More…]
My brother went AWL again and went back to camp a fortnight later and nothing was heard from him, with the result that my father became worried and drove up to the camp - he phoned the camp and was told that the commanding officer was busy elsewhere, my father reportedly asked whether there had been another suicide to which the reply was this is the third this week’. [More…]
Here was a man brought up with the religious education who resented the way in which his lad was spoken to and who tried to make a complaint to every officer he could contact. [More…]
I ask the Minister whether this man who on his own statement, not my statement, used blasphemous language and obscenities to a kid is to be charged before a court martial. [More…]
This is a man who is in direct breach of the regulations on his own statement and who states, as exoneration from any charge made: ‘I have no concern for the regulation; I am a law unto myself.’ [More…]
The facts are today, as they have been ever since man started to make laws, that after about their 14th year youths throughout the western world at any rate seem to face some new relief or take unto themselves more power and responsibility. [More…]
In Tasmania we believe in a well educated State. [More…]
That is why so many of our people go to the other Australian States and abroad to fill very important positions and why we have a school leaving age of 16 years. [More…]
This Government encourages them to go on with their education, following upon our Tasmanian example. [More…]
In other words, if the youth of today is classified as being too immature to withstand the wiles of salesmen - and many people older than 21 fall for them - they have no right and are not mature enough to cast a vote in parliamentary elections. [More…]
In other words, to me an old man is someone in the range of 70 to 80 years. [More…]
If one looks right through the course of history one finds that there have been many people, even within this age group and younger, who assumed enormous responsibility in their own day and age. [More…]
The honourable senator talked about the Romans. [More…]
Was not Alexander the Great the man who, at the age of 24 years, sat down and cried because there were no more worlds to conquer? [More…]
In those days the loyalties within one’s army were kept basically as a result of the power of personality of the commanding general, plus the opportunity for loot, rape and a few other things. [More…]
He was able to achieve this as a young man. [More…]
I remember as a schoolboy learning that the Black Prince at the Battle of Cressy, at the age of 16 years, was given by his father a wing of the battle to command and acquitted himself very well. [More…]
He suggests that people attend the Universal World Church where every disease, affliction and pain disappears and where divine help and healing flow into the bodies of every believer as God’s body is incarnated within the whole entity of man. [More…]
In my view he is a very evil man. [More…]
Many people suspect that tens of thousands of dollars have been collected by this man. [More…]
This man and his quasi religious teachings have created a great social problem. [More…]
His insistence on the regular payment of moneys to the church at a rate beyond that which families can economically afford has led to many cases of physical hardship. [More…]
A respected Anglican priest or I will be able to give him the names of the families which have been affected grievously by this man’s activities. [More…]
Not only does this man demand 10 per cent of their net income per week, but from time to time he places on the. [More…]
I contend that the great number of people who follow this man and his church do so out of fear - fear of the unknown and fear of sorcery. [More…]
There are many more that I could recite. [More…]
A number of us have watched the activities of this man over a number of years. [More…]
The obvious reason why this man is doing this is that he cannot afford not to get the $5 or $10 a week that the Islanders have to pay him out of their weekly wages. [More…]
Because colourful ceremonies are associated with this man’s fake church, they are inclined to be carried away. [More…]
This man will tell the breadwinner of a family that if he cannot convert the rest of his family and make sure that they go to church, he must throw out his family. [More…]
I hope that the Attorney-General will be able to say that the many tens of thousands of dollars which have been received without receipts being issued and socked away in banks in Townsville and probably in other places too, can be frozen, until the whole background to this very strange character is investigated thoroughly. [More…]
I do not know whether the allegations made by Senator Keeffe have any substance, but if he is saying - how he would have proof of it I do not know - that this man has not paid any income tax he ought to give some basis for his allegations so that investigations may be made by the taxation authorities. [More…]
Any allegation that this man has taken a lot of money and in fact misappropriated it is a matter which should be brought to the attention of the police authorities, with some substantiation, for them to investigate. [More…]
Before I refer specifically to the other part of his question, I think that I should add that inherent in the forms of saving by the community in life assurance is the fact that taxation concessional allowances, which are most important for the family man, apply in respect of life assurance contributions. [More…]
Therefore, we have to be very much aware of and alert to the needs of this industry, and do everything we can to develop and expand it because of its ever growing importance for man’s use. [More…]
The farmer said: Tt takes too long to get anything from it, but 1 wish my old man had planted some’. [More…]
The examination also established that since 1963 a study of the ratio of prices received to prices paid for all rural products showed that greater emphasis has been placed on management in farming. [More…]
Finally, the examination showed that the cost of settling a man on the land would many times outweigh the assistance given to non-rural servicemen who probably served alongside him in Vietnam. [More…]
I believe that the ex-serviceman should be entitled to purchase a block at the price at which an ex-serviceman from the First World War or the Second World War would be entitled to purchase it. [More…]
then surely priority should be given to ex-servicemen who have served either in Vietnam or in the permanent forces before any block is placed on the open market. [More…]
The Minister for Air (Senator Drake-Brockman) has said that perhaps men who have served in Vietnam or in the permanent Army would not have had rural experience. [More…]
I know one such young man who has had the necessary experience, as has his father-in-law. [More…]
Surely if a man has been slaving away for 20 years trying to make a livingon a farm eventually has to leave it, he would want to walk out of that situation with as much money as he could get for his 20 years of labour. [More…]
Many of those sons, having seen the battles that their fathers have had to go through, leave as quickly as possible for the cities. [More…]
I know from personal experience the things that a man on the land has to put up with. [More…]
We support the principle of the man on the land. [More…]
It may compare in many respects with parts of Israel that today are blooming gardens in arid deserts because the Israelis have seen fit to use the ingenuity of man to tackle the problems of nature. [More…]
We feel that all those things are part of the further development of primary industry in this country to meet the requirements of a demanding and expanding world population. [More…]
I do not believe that a Senate select committee can do any more than can the Parliament to obtain the relevancy of the economic factors that may have a relationship to the method of valuations, the rentals that are demanded and even the option of purchase prices and how they may fluctuate. [More…]
I am the Chairman of the Standing Committee on Finance and Government Operations which is charged with an inquiry into all aspects of estate duty and gift duty. [More…]
If a man who had invested heavily in shares died at the height of a share boom and it was perhaps 6 months before the executors had settled the affairs of the estate, the shares could in the meantime have dropped to about one-quarter of the previous value. [More…]
This would create a great many complications. [More…]
I propose now to refer to other sectors of the community and to mention first the professional man. [More…]
I am surprised at how much it costs the country, through scholarships and educational assistance, to enable a man to possess professional qualifications. [More…]
I invite honourable senators to compare the situation of that man with the position of someone in the rural sector. [More…]
In the second example, which again is of a non-rural estate, a gentleman passed on and left an estate dutiable at $28,171 to his widow. [More…]
I come to an example involving an estate valued at $62,254 which was left to a man after his wife had passed on. [More…]
There are many other examples of that type of thing. [More…]
I suppose it is a good thing that a man should be discouraged from gartering assets. [More…]
It is a good thing if a man’s assets can be taken away because then his widow has to become a pensioner. [More…]
A man should not need to have regard for his dependants. [More…]
Why should a man worry? [More…]
However, f am particularly’ pleased that on this occasion the Government has taken these provisions across the broad spectrum and these exemptions will, apply to all people although there are further benefits for the man on the land. [More…]
Probate duties are a typical socialist manoeuvre whereby the State pursues a man after his death, as Senator Withers pointed out, to the disadvantage of his widow and children. [More…]
When a person holding snares in, say, a manufacturing business in a city dies, that does not mean that the business must cease in order that death duties may be paid, In the case of a rural estate, however, it may happen that so much of the farm has to be sold to pay death dutien that the residue of that farm ceases to be viable. [More…]
As a very young man I was on a cattle station in south west Queensland which was situated on Cooper Creek near Innamincka. [More…]
The Minister advised me that the man concerned is Johan Jurman who was born at Fohnsdorf Austria on 27th December 1943 of Slovenian parents who claimed Yugoslav nationality. [More…]
As Senator O’Byrne refers to officials, it should be known that this man was a Labor candidate in the Tasmanian State election last year and, following that campaign, was reinstated as the producer of this current affairs programme in Tasmania. [More…]
My request was referred then to the manager in the presence of the producer who said that of course I would be readily given that opportunity. [More…]
That was supplemented by a request that the same opportunity should be given outside Tasmania to refute that matter. [More…]
That was the subject of the communication with the General Manager of the ABC. [More…]
Senator Withers reminded us that in 1943, when he was a young man of 18 years serving in the Navy, he had the right to vote. [More…]
It was believed during the war years that a man of 18 years who was old enough, in the view of the Government - I believe rightly so - to fight for his country was also old enough to vote. [More…]
Politically, it is probably the greatest achievement of the mind of man. [More…]
Indeed, the law makers should be the last ones to advocate that anybody should break the law; otherwise we get back to what may sound a very high ideal - the principle that every man has the right to govern himself. [More…]
Neither of us can take that principle and say that our rights are such that they should obliterate the rights of our fellow man in the community. [More…]
The facts regarding this young man are as follows: Nikola Grskovic lived at 16 Damon Road, Mount Waverley, in the State of Victoria. [More…]
The Minister spoke about Germany’s domestic settlements. [More…]
I do not claim to be a legal man, but no-one can convince me that the Department, with the elaborate apparatus that it has, cannot do something. [More…]
This man is in his 50s. [More…]
They were to the effect that a man cannot serve 2 masters. [More…]
1 referred to one gentleman in Sydney who claimed to be an agent for the West German Government. [More…]
1 couple that appeal with an appeal for action on behalf of the Polish national who has experienced this undue delay in the settlement of his claim and about whom, for some reason, the Government feels it is infra dig to make any strong protest to the West German Goverment. [More…]
The Minister for Foreign Affairs has provided a further reason why this man is not being permitted to travel to Greece. [More…]
I would have though it was all the more incredible because on the story which has been told the matter was checked out with the Consul for Yugoslavia in Melbourne before this young man returned to Yugoslavia. [More…]
I have received a number of allegations of this character all of which are being checked out and many of which are being verified, as much as they can be, from the Australian source. [More…]
I can only regret that Senator O’Byrne in his comments chose to be impressed by what his colleagues in the Labor Party said and chose not to say one word about his sympathy for the predicament of the man mentioned by Senator Hannan, which is far worse than anything else that has been said. [More…]
Far greater labour resources are required to manufacture a man’s shoe than a man’s hat. [More…]
Although those articles may retail at somewhat similar prices, there is a much greater variety of components in shoes and certainly much more complicated methods of manufacture are involved - even though they in themselves, have been simplified tremendously. [More…]
One of the challenges to the shoe industry during the past 20 to 25 years has been the simplification of the process of manufacture because shoes do not have to be constructed as strongly as they used to be because people do not walk on wet pavements or through muddy streets, except in the developing areas of the big metropolises where some streets are unmade. [More…]
This man is not unintelligent. [More…]
What are the qualifications required by the Northern Territory Administration in theareas of man management and discipline by persons applying for these positions, and what is the period and type of training course to be undertaken by successful applicants before commencing duty. [More…]
No formal qualifications in the areas of man management and discipline are required. [More…]
On the proposition that this matter be referred to a committee of the Senate, I certainly express my view that we are laying down so many subjects for Senate committees to inquire into that at least 2 years would elapse before this subject was looked at by the Senate Standing Committee on Trade and Industry. [More…]
The Government has acted in this matter; it has appointed an independent man, a professor, to inquire into it and to report on it. [More…]
If one seeks to resolve unemployment one can easily do that by having a one man one job arrangement. [More…]
There are unusual sandstone bridges and gorges and prolific wildflowers and other flora, including waratahs angophoras and eucalypti, many of which take hundreds of years to grow. [More…]
It is easy for man to take the easy way out and just move into these areas, but as far as we have been able to determine there has been no examination of the environmental factors. [More…]
For instance, has any consideration been given to using railway reserves on either side of railway lines, electricity easements or main road reserves which in many cases exceed 150 feet, having regard to the fact that invariably these are public easements? [More…]
Already, publicly owned areas abound right across our nation which would provide an opportunity to be used for the pipeline without raising the very many important environmental factors. [More…]
Indeed, the honourable senator told me when I was talking to him after the sitting was suspended for dinner that at certain times he has had as many as 60 estates to look after at one time. [More…]
So we are talking about a man who has very considerable experience and, if I may say so, great understanding and sympathy. [More…]
On that occasion the Australian Labor Party, to a man, opposed that amendment as it opposed ours only a few days ago. [More…]
In assessing the attitude of the Australian Labor Party we must go back to the very honest statement made by a very honest man, Senator Wilkinson, who led for the Opposition in this debate. [More…]
If any man could bemarked for sincerity in regard to his subject - and this is his subject- [More…]
I have heard many other speakers tonight but they did not state that view clearly as Senator Cavanagh did. [More…]
Quite a deal of heat and emotion has been displayed in this debate tonight and there are many differing views about the approaches to be made to the whole problem of estate duties. [More…]
I have seen on many occasions that it is not the big man who is hurt by these duties. [More…]
The big man is so well off that he is able to arrange his estate in such a way, by means of forming companies and so on, that he is able to avoid estate duties. [More…]
It is the smaller man who is hit every time. [More…]
It is the dependant of the smaller man who is hit, be he on the land or in the urban areas - not the big man, because 9 times out of 10 the big man has ways of avoidance. [More…]
So it is the little man to whom I have always looked with great sympathy and therefore I have always supported abolition of probate duties. [More…]
Again I would like to refer to the fact that a comment was passed tonight, and perhaps the finger was pointed towards Senator Cotton - a Minister for whom I have a high regard - that Senator Cotton was the man who made suggestions that Senator Negus should withdraw his amendments. [More…]
It is true that the working man cannot do this. [More…]
When a man died, the lord of the manor took one third of his estate. [More…]
I do not believe in hitting a man twice. [More…]
I suppose one should not be surprised that the spokesmen for a political party which is prepared to put up as a candidate in the coming elections a man who is not prepared to face the courts in order to determine whether or not the offence which he proclaims he is guilty of, is in fact one that he is guilty of, adopt the attitude which they have adopted tonight. [More…]
As Senator James McClelland asks: ls there any humanity in the law? [More…]
This person is a woman and while a woman has no right to dodge her obligations a different attitude should be taken to gaoling a woman because of something relating to the National Service Act than to gaoling a man. [More…]
A third point to be considered is that this woman is a mother with a family. [More…]
One of the complex and curious features of this whole matter which must be the subject of investigation by the police is that a man who in this chamber has been alleged to be a very strong Croatian nationalist is involved in that bomb explosion and, as I understand it, was injured in that bomb explosion for which his own compatriots are supposed to have been responsible, on one view which is expressed by some members of the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
Let us take the situation to which Senator Kane alluded of the wealthy man who sends his child to a Slate secondary school. [More…]
If the man is wealthy and paying the maximum rate of taxation,again the community is subventing him by way of taxation deduction at a much greater rate than that for a man in a comparable position who sends his child to a state public school. [More…]
A man in humble circumstances is unable to afford the additional education for his child. [More…]
The financial structure, so far as it relates to the taxpayer who spends on education, is heavily loaded in favour of the wealthy man. [More…]
If the Commonwealth Government had not seen fit in its wisdom to support independent schools, many of them would have been forced to close. [More…]
This would affect not only the wealthy man. [More…]
But the additional taxation required to meet this cost would affect everybody alike, including the working man. [More…]
Did the police state that Miskovic told them that members of the Ustasha movement had been in Newcastle 2 weeks previously seeking him and another man and that he was carrying the revolver for his protection? [More…]
For example, one would recognise that in the area of psychiatry, analysis and diagnosis could require consultations extending over many hours, whereas a person specialising in skin disorders might be able to make a diagnosis much more quickly. [More…]
Because I always try to be careful when giving kerbside opinions and because I am not a medical man 1 should like to give a considered reply to the question before we rise and after I have a complete knowledge of the background. [More…]
No man was more decried throughout the British Commonwealth than Kenyatta. [More…]
Yet in later years when we saw him at Commonwealth gatherings he was attending as an elder statesman. [More…]
Quite apart from Aborigines as a race, I am far from satisfied today that we are geared sufficiently to meet the situation as more and more manual work is phased out and that we are able to provide job opportunities. [More…]
I suppose like many honourable senators I entered into a different life when 1 came into the Parliament, but I have never forgotten that Labor Prime Minister Chifley always argued that the man on the production line was the person who kept industry rolling. [More…]
As we reduce the number of manual operative jobs available in the community immediately we make competition for work much keener. [More…]
Senator Little, that the reference 1 was making was from a document prepared by Mr Joseph McGinness, the President of the Federal Council for Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders - a man of standing in the black community and a man of standing in the Australian community. [More…]
So that we do not get my speech out of context, let us understand that the grants being made to the States are for the protection and development of Aborigines and for the easing of their many social problems. [More…]
I know most of them, and I would say that each man and woman on that staff is determined to do his or her best for Aborigines and Islanders; but they are severely restricted not only by the Minister who does not know what his job is all about but also by the Prime Minister who does not care what it is all about. [More…]
I want to pay full tribute to one woman who worked on behalf of John Belia over a long period of time. [More…]
For minor offences such as drunkenness, loitering and vagrancy, for which a white man is seldom gaoled, a black man is always gaoled. [More…]
If Commonwealth grants could be stretched to provide legal assistance to people, many islanders would be able to take advantage of the aid in the present problems that they have with Dr Nielsen, the so-called religious leader. [More…]
When I mentioned this man on the adjournment debate in this place the Minister accused me of causing all sorts of problems, apparently for Dr Nielsen. [More…]
I have a question on the notice paper asking the Treasurer (Mr Snedden) to investigate the accounts of this man and the organisation he is supposed to represent. [More…]
This man claims that there is no building fund. [More…]
Do honourable senators opposite say that this man is an honest man? [More…]
I received a letter from a friend in Gympie - this is the first reference we have to this man - who said: [More…]
He referred to our Australian Aboriginal as ‘the black man’ - ‘the black man this’ and ‘the black man that’. [More…]
Nobody who has fairly considered the history of this country could say that the Australian Aborigines, any more than the animal species of this disappearing continent before the white man came, would have survived through to this generation had it not been for the intervention of the white people, bringing the knowledge and skills of Europe with them which enabled them to tackle the deteriorating environment of this country and make it what it is today. [More…]
It could well be said that in the more lush sections of Australia such as Victoria and Tasmania there would always have been plenty on which the Aborigines could live. [More…]
But if we examine their history we find that is not so because the recurring drought seasons and other difficulties inevitably brought about a situation in which not only man but also the. [More…]
These people love their children as much as any other human race loves its children. [More…]
Much more than many races of people who have been caught in similar types of primitive life, although not to the same extreme degree, they submit to medical attention and care. [More…]
Everything is all right if the child recovers from a bacl stomach ailment after it has been injected with something, but if the child dies very often the medical man, because of the mythology of the tribe, can be blamed in some way. [More…]
I admit that he is a man of tremendous capacity. [More…]
Like many modern politicians, Mr Hunt is a man for all seasons. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that there is a very great difference between gross income and taxable income and that under the Australian Labor Party’s scheme a man supporting a wife and one child on $43.40 per week would pay no contribution for health insurance but is currently required to pay53 cents per week under the Government’s plan. [More…]
Is there progressive cover according to the number of dependants under the Australian Labor Party’s scheme so that a man supporting a wife and six children on $58.30 per week receives free cover but under the Government plan is required to pay full contribution of $1.66 per week. [More…]
At the time I suggested that there was evidence that a powerful man in Sydney financial circles was able to make a direct approach to the Prime Minister and that a reversal of the assessment followed. [More…]
Until we are told, this suspicion will remain about this man and that this assessment was withdrawn because of special representations. [More…]
Taxation at this point ot time is a man of high integrity. [More…]
He is a man of wide experience and of long standing in the Parliament. [More…]
He has seen many governments come and go. [More…]
If he says that this Government is the worst government since Federation he would base that statement on a long experience of many governments composed of parties from both sides of the Senate. [More…]
Is anybody going to say that what the Government has done in relation to estate duty tax - this has been debated here many times - is not a worthwhile reform? [More…]
If there are political rewards - any government would be less than human if it did not say that there could be some hope of political reward - they are only transitory. [More…]
That is the ultimate test that any man, honourable senator, Minis ter, Prime Minister or any person who comes to the Parliament has to make a final judgment upon. [More…]
The Australian Labor Party believes that primary industries depend as much on the man in the city as the man in the city depends on the farming community. [More…]
If the man on the land does not have the wherewithal to produce raw materials to be manufactured into goods in the city, the man in the city does not have a job. [More…]
If the man in the city cannot get a permanent job with a decent wage structure to earn enough to buy the products of the farmers, the farmer finds he is in trouble because he cannot sell his produce. [More…]
The Corporation would need to have a man standing alongside the buyer on the farm in order to find out what was going on. [More…]
Thus a man’s fitness for service is decided on the basis of qualified medical opinion. [More…]
That is what the ALP has always stood for - that the middle man should be cut out and prevented from taking the cream off primary products. [More…]
I say to Senator Milliner that it is just as well that I am a patient man. [More…]
That report will be presented in a similar manner to reports which have been presented previously by the Australian Wool Board and the Australian Wool Commission. [More…]
Mr Chair man, if it is possible to do so, I seek permission to incorporate the graph in Hansard. [More…]
Many of them are underfed, undernourished and in need of a better balanced diet. [More…]
It seems incongruous that we are embarking on such a negative policy, that we have to pull down and reduce the provision of something which has been considered an important part of man’s diet. [More…]
This is a rather ambiguous condition because ‘severe financial difficulties’ means that a man is financially bankrupt or in such a condition that he will not be able to carry on in the industry and he intends to clear-fell his orchard and leave the fruitgrowing industry altogether. [More…]
If there is to be a means test, what is the financial level at which a man will be classified as being in severe financial difficulties? [More…]
After all, the nature of the soil chosen for orcharding has limitations and is not readily adaptable to many forms of pastoral production. [More…]
The part-time growers who are not dependent upon their orchards at all can aggravate the circumstances of the industry, including over-production, whereas thi; man who is totally dependent upon fruit is offered payment that will in no way compensate him for moving out to leave those who remain in a viable position. [More…]
Taking an extreme example, one could almost see all of the part-timers remaining, all of the orchardists gone and there existing an inefficient and incompetent industry unable even to meet the demands from abroad, if the scheme in itself were successful. [More…]
I was the man who brought in the wine tax, but am now prepared to admit that it was a mistake and have made this clear in my recent statements in the House. [More…]
I was the man who brought in the wine tax but am now prepared to admit that it was a mistake and have made this clear in my recent statements in the House. [More…]
the Commissioner of Taxation at this point of time is a man of high integrity. [More…]
I did not mean that the Commissioner of Taxation today is a man of high integrity and may not be a man of high integrity tomorrow. [More…]
What I meant by that statement was this: The Commissioner of Taxation at present is a man of high integrity. [More…]
The matter concerns that great religious man, Dr Nielsen. [More…]
Mr Bestic is a gentleman well qualified in his field. [More…]
The man being interviewed gave certain explanations. [More…]
In addition, this man is able to claim that the minimum subscription for a church service through the plate or through envelopes shall be $2, or whatever the figure is he likes to nominate. [More…]
This man goes further than 1 have indicated because he has a habit of collecting young girls and teaching them the affairs of the church and the affairs of worldly life at the same time. [More…]
As a final act of religious indecency, earlier this week the man concerned was able to get on to one of his ministers and persuade him to go round to a number of other ministers and tell them to write to this Parliament saying that they have never put money into a building fund. [More…]
A number of Islanders now are determined to make a break from this infamous man and establish their own church. [More…]
I rise only to say that 1 have heard Senator Keeffe speak on this subject before as I have heard him speak on many subjects before. [More…]
I do not know this man to whom he refers. [More…]
1 have endeavoured on many occasions today to try to arrange for the Minister for the Interior to give this gentleman at least 10 minutes of his time so that he may put to the Minister on behalf of the residents of Darwin the case which he wishes to present. [More…]
The Minister for the Interior is the man solely responsible for the workings of the Northern Territory. [More…]
I draw the attention of the Committee to the case of a man who was ill for some weeks. [More…]
There are also plans for a gallery of southern man which are currently being considered. [More…]
He has said today that a man who has sympathies with the Democratic Labor Party is not eligible for appointment as a commissioner. [More…]
I would have thought that, when one selected a man for a position such as this, one would examine his whole field of experience. [More…]
Senator McAuliffe says that this man, who has been secretary of the Federated Clerks Union in a most important State, is ineligible to be appointed as a commissioner because he does not like his political views. [More…]
It is a scandal that a senator should come into this chamber and advocate that in making an appointment to a position one should ascertain a man’s political views first and his experience and qualifications for the position should come at some later stage. [More…]
I have been in the Senate for years and I have read of man after man who was a member of the Australian Labor Party being appointed as a conciliation commissioner. [More…]
If he had the trade union experience and was a man of integrity, why should I have objected because he was a member of the ALP? [More…]
It is appalling that, 17 years after the establishment of the DLP, when a man has received the nomination for appointment as a Conciliation Commissioner members of the Australian Labor Party stand in this Senate and say that he should not have received it. [More…]
But we have now reached the stage where a man who has been the secretary of a big union and who now occupies an important position in another big union has received the nomination for a job and members of the Opposition get up and say: We are against it, not because he does not have the experience, not because he is not qualified and not because he is a member of the DLP, but because we suspect that he is sympathetic to the DLP’. [More…]
man is not physically fit to carry out a highly paid job, he should not accept the position. [More…]
I do not argue about what Sena tor McManus said; Mr Brown may have been a good colt with the Federated Clerk., Union. [More…]
My whole criterion is that a man should be fit to do a job. [More…]
On one memorable occasion here no less a person than a man for whom I have the utmost respect, a former senator and a former Prime Minister, John Grey Gorton, objected when I questioned the appointment of a certain conciliation commissioner. [More…]
It involves many miles of travelling. [More…]
Once when 1 was on a Qantas aircraft somewhere over the Middle East the senior flight steward, a man who believed in the arbitration system, produced a log book and showed me the conditions that stewards were subject to. [More…]
I suppose I am saying something against myself, Senator Georges and Senator McAuliffe when I say that although this man claimed to be a rugby referee that still did not make him fit, as far as I was concerned. [More…]
I intervene only to mention the circumstances surrounding any man may have the misfortune to become ill. We all know that parties to industrial disputes, no matter what side they are on, find that sitting around tables for hours on end drains all their energy reserves. [More…]
If this man is to be appointed a conciliation commissioner all I want to know is whether he is fit. [More…]
But if a man is hopping around on 2 or 3 jobs and if he reaches a stage where he becomes a victim of hallucinations and can see communists or Democratic Labor Party supporters under his bed he cannot be said to have the objectivity that is required to do this job. [More…]
It is suggested that I may be wrong in what I am saying, which highlights the view I am putting, that a man’s political background is really irrelevant. [More…]
The only question should be whether a man is qualified for appointment to a position and no discrimination should be practised in any area. [More…]
The noise comes from a man who is not able now to represent any trade union because the trade unions rejected him years ago. [More…]
Senator McManus accused us on the basis of what we said was the present position. [More…]
But Senator Wright must remember that there are many on this side of the chamber who are Still active in the trade union movement. [More…]
After he became a commissioner he figured in the transport industry and particularly in the famous one-man bus dispute in Victoria which raged throughout the 1960s, as Senator Little may be aware. [More…]
He was respected for the manner in which he carried out the high responsibilities of that office. [More…]
He was a man of very great principle, a man who was admired for his capacity and his dedication to his job. [More…]
I repeat that he is one example - there are many others - of a person whose previously held political views were, as they should be, irrelevant to his appointment to office. [More…]
Let everybody listen to the record of this man as I read it. [More…]
The suggestion is that the man who has all those qualifications got the job only because, while he was not a member of the Democratic Labor Party, it was suspected that he might have been sympathetic to the DLP. [More…]
Surely there is some privacy for the state of a man’s health. [More…]
I think it is a scandalous thing that the statement should be made under privilege - he cannot challenge in the courts - that a man is a physical derelect, by a person who would have no knowledge at all of the state of his health. [More…]
How could Senator Mulvihill have any knowledge of the physical health of this man? [More…]
He was a man of outstanding integrity and he was a great Labor man. [More…]
He was a great Labor man in the West Australian Labor movement. [More…]
He came to Victoria and he was a great man in the Victorian Branch of the Australian Labor Parly. [More…]
But when it appeared that there were going to be 2 branches of the Labor Party he was so good a Labor man that he came to me and said: ‘I have been Labor all my life. [More…]
Senator McManus enumerated the achievements of one of the new appointments. [More…]
I did not dispute what that man had done as a member of the Federated Clerks Union of Australia because I do not know Queensland trade union politics intimately, but I did say that, as Senator McAuliffe contended, if a man finds that a job is getting too hard - and this does not militate against past performances - or he feels he cannot measure up to it and he wants a nice quiet niche, which the term ‘industrial officer’ covers in many unions, that is all right. [More…]
I think that we are entitled to know whether, when this gentleman left the Federated Clerks Union, he felt that he was fit to take this job. [More…]
I think that Senator McManus put that proposition to the Senate in unanswerable terms. [More…]
I think that in 90 cases out of 100 one finds that when a man accepts the responsibility of a high office which requires a display of impartiality, the very fact that he has that responsibility ensures that past professional or industrial experience is submerged and the true purpose of the arbitration issue is paramount. [More…]
I refer to a serious incident which occurred and to the comments of the Port Augusta coroner in relation to the death of a railway man on the Trans-Australian Railway. [More…]
Mr Sowry said: ‘That man needn’t have died. [More…]
How many of these gangs have a fully qualified first aid man as a member of the gang. [More…]
One gang has a fully qualified first aid man as a member. [More…]
This makes it highly impractical to attempt to provide a qualified first aid man with every gang. [More…]
When Senator Bishop first mentioned this matter in the Senate Estimates Committee we had some concern at the number of fettling gangs which did not have a trained first aid man. [More…]
Is the Commonwealth Police Force still searching for the man who threatened to hijack and blow up an airliner, unless 2 associates of his were released from a Tasmanian gaol; if so, has this man been arrested; if so. [More…]
why have no charges been laid; and is this man the same person who faced a charge in Brisbane, Queensland, for blowing up the Communist Party Headquarters but who absconded. [More…]
It would be a brave man who would steam into the Lake Pedder issue, which, I understand, is a matter of some disputation in the Apple Isle. [More…]
That is certainly an accurate summation of what many people believe. [More…]
I think that many members of the Opposition today believe that it is necessary to restrict in some way the greater concentration of industry and population in our city areas. [More…]
No man is better positioned or more knowledgeable to serve in that capacity than Sir John Overall and I congratulate him on accepting the appointment. [More…]
He is a man who is well known throughout the world for his capabilities for developing areas, in particular the national capital. [More…]
The most important thing is that 2 weeks after I made these statements in the Senate a gentleman who works hand in glove with the 3 people whom I mentioned and who is a very close associate of the 3 men was at a function that was attended by my parliamentary secretary. [More…]
This man approached my secretary and said: ‘I have a message for your boss, Senator McAuliffe. [More…]
There was no other inference left in my secretary’s mind than that this man would bump me off. [More…]
I have many shortcomings but I do not think that among them is a lack of moral or physical courage. [More…]
One does not receive an honourable discharge from the Australian Imperial Forces after 5 years service, 31/2 years of which were spent in an overseas theatre of war, including the siege of Tobruk; one is not appointed President of the Queensland Rugby Football League, to be the symbol of the major sport in Queensland, unless one is a decent citizen and a man of integrity and unless one has been active in community affairs and is of good character. [More…]
It would be a brave man who would oppose legislation of this nature and I do not pretend to be particularly brave in this regard. [More…]
Of course they have abandoned the principle of one man one job. [More…]
He wants to call them capitalists and himself pure because he is a working man of some shape or form. [More…]
There are as many wealthy lawyers, doctors and other people in Senator George’s party as there are in any other party, lt is not a matter of material wealth it is a matter of poverty of love, poverty of attention and care that we are talking about and it is completely above the minds of the people who suggest that they represent the working class. [More…]
However many mothercraft nurses there are, when a child is taken to a child care centre where there are a number of ot’-.er children and trained scientific staff, it is in an institution. [More…]
Senator Donald Cameron has said in this case a man has gone to Greece and I think that Senator Mulvihill raised not so long ago the case of another person who went to Greece and Senator McManus raised the case of a person who went to Yugolsavia. [More…]
There are many aspects of the honourable senator’s question. [More…]
The honourable senator drew many inferences which I think are properly to be drawn from the statement to which he has referred. [More…]
I saw reports of the statement and quite apart from the aspects to which Senator Hannan drew attention I thought it was significant that the man who holds the position of President of the Australian Council of Trade Unions should say that he was in a dilemma as to what advice he should give to certain employees in the Australian Broadcasting Commission. [More…]
While on the one hand he thought that they should be prepared to defy management, he thought the result of that might be to deny to the public current affairs programmes which he apparently regarded as beneficial. [More…]
The Government has at all times maintained that the Australian Broadcasting Commission should be independent of government and that the management of the ABC should rest with the commissioners and the senior officers appointed by them. [More…]
I think it is highly discouraging that the spokesman for the Australian Labor Party, the President of the Australian Council of Trade Unions - the man who modestly says that he is the second most powerful man in Australia - should have adopted the attitude that he did. [More…]
I would have thought that a man holding the position of Attorney-General would have known the constitutional position. [More…]
I seek a withdrawal, especially when such an allegation comes from a man like Senator Little and by way of interjection from Senator Gair, because these men, who on a variety of occasions can see nothing wrong with getting stoned on alcohol or puffing themselves to death, can turn round- [More…]
The Government says that if a man is injured he will now receive compensation at the rate of full sick pay for 26 weeks and that his entitlement alters thereafter. [More…]
I undertook a certain amount of this work and I found that the man who wanted to profiteer from his injury, as it were, was a very rare bird indeed, and that the overwhelming proportion of self respecting workers - and that is the overwhelming proportion of workers - wanted to get back to work as soon as they could and resume a normal life. [More…]
I believe it refers to the accommodation of, say, a man employed by the Postmaster-General’s Department. [More…]
This brings me to the problem for the average person, the small fisherman or the pleasure craft operator. [More…]
Is such a man, despite the previous amendments to the Navigation Act and this legislation, still required to take on some oil company in order to seek redress if his small craft happens to be damaged by oil pollution? [More…]
But perhaps I am mistaken because I have been assured that Senator Sim is a very learned man and that Dr Cairns is not. [More…]
The Senate adopted the view in 1957 that it was dangerous - indeed, it was tyrannical - to permit some civil servant the right to say that one man who applied would have unrestricted imports of his commodity; another could have imports that he sought and a third person who applied would not be permitted to import any commodities for which he sought approval. [More…]
I know that we have asked for this for many years. [More…]
On behalf of an elderly gentleman who retired quite recently I made 3 submissions for a war service home. [More…]
There is a particular provision which says that Thursday Island was not a war zone, but a white man who went from Cape York to serve on Thursday Island at a certain time during World War II could qualify for repatriation benefits and a war service home. [More…]
Torres Strait area and some public servant wanted to assist it he would be treated in the same way as this man was treated. [More…]
He said that he knew of a man who had served during the Second World War who was not eligible for a war service loan. [More…]
I know of many people who served during the last war who are not eligible for a war service loan. [More…]
Perhaps the man about whom Senator Keeffe is talking served in the light infantry forces but not in the qualifying period. [More…]
But it is not right for the honourable senator to rise in the Senate and say that he knows of the case of one man. [More…]
The Leader of the Government in the Senate is a kindly man who is respected by us all. [More…]
We see the use of numbers to prevent a decision being made on a Bill which is of great importance to many people in Australia. [More…]
He has always been a man of good will. [More…]
I always claim to be the easiest man in Australia to please as far as food is concerned. [More…]
Did the New South Wales police, in Wallsend Court, during the hearing of a charge against a Yugoslav migrant, Mr N. Miskovic, of possessing an unlicensed revolver state that the defendant had claimed that members of the Ustasha Movement had been in Newcastle 2 weeks earlier seeking him and another man and that he had carried the revolver for personal protection. [More…]
However, I agree that any man who represents his electorate or his State in Parliament must have proved to his electors that he is hard working and prepared to represent them. [More…]
I should like to take the opportunity of paying a special tribute to Tom Burke, a West Australian, who, I believe, was a great Labor man. [More…]
Mr Riordan was a member of one of the best known Queensland Labor families and for many years he represented a very difficult seat in the north of Queensland. [More…]
He was well known to many members present, I think, and his ability was recognised by the Chifley Government by his being promoted to Minister for the Navy. [More…]
He was a man of tremendous integrity and I respected very strongly his political outlook. [More…]
He was not associated with the Australian Labor Party in the last few years, but he was a very kindly man who was extremely popular in many Labor circles. [More…]
President Truman and President Johnson made no lesser effort to satisfy the demands of this unenviable office than their predecessors and successors. [More…]
The history books have already recorded the achievements of Harry S. Truman. [More…]
Neither man’s task was simple and in their own ways they sought to define America’s role in the world. [More…]
Harry Truman was Vice-President for a year, 1 believe, before President Roosevelt’s death on 12th April 1945. [More…]
However, he had the satisfaction of announcing Germany’s capitulation on 8th May and of accepting Japan’s surrender on 14th August. [More…]
I believe that the Marshall Plan, which aided so many countries, was initiated by him. [More…]
Truman’s resistance to Stalin’s plan for world domination produced the so-called Cold war. [More…]
Truman committed United States forces promptly under the United Nations flag to resist this naked act of military aggression. [More…]
Truman’s actions ultimately resulted in saving South Korea’s independence, thus aiding the freedom of all South East Asian countries, including Australia. [More…]
Although chance placed this ordinary, simple man in a position of enormous influence in the great country of America, he showed the courage and determination which rescued Europe from total collapse and helped to block Stalin’s armed might from occupying Europe and overrunning Asia. [More…]
He was a man of great achievement and a great force in world affairs. [More…]
In many ways Lyndon Johnson was a similar type of man. [More…]
I feel that his greatest performance was in connection with Vietnam. [More…]
He felt, just as Truman did in relation to South Korea, that America had an obligation and a duty to protect South Vietnam from the onslaughts of the power drunk communists from the North who were aided and abetted by outside communist countries. [More…]
The pressures to cut and run and so preserve his own political future were immense and beyond measure, but he was too big a man to do that. [More…]
He showed signs of being a fairly sick man, but he was very bright in his approach to matters. [More…]
We sympathise deeply with her, as we do with the relatives of the late Mr Truman. [More…]
Mr Pearson was a man of a different character, it is true. [More…]
Could any man have a greater ideal? [More…]
The Premier has been the man making all the noises. [More…]
They have regarded themselves as Australians since the white man first came here and took this country. [More…]
The men and women on the Torres Strait islands do not want the Australian Government to give away their birthright that was given to them not by man but by God. [More…]
How could a white man understand the feelings of Aborigines or Torres Strait islanders? [More…]
Senator Bonner has said that he feels so strongly about this matter because he, as an Aboriginal, has suffered so terribly from the white man that he does not want to see this happen to the people of the Torres Strait islands. [More…]
Listening to Senator Bonner one would think that Papua New Guinea was inhabited by whites and that Australia was inhabited by blacks because Senator Bonner was saying how shocking it is that the people of the Torres Strait islands should be placed under the jurisdiction of the white man. [More…]
They are now under the jurisdiction of the white man and if they were shifted to the jurisdiction o Papua New Guinea they would be leaving that terrible condition of thraldom about which Senator Bonner has told us at such length tonight. [More…]
Many of the decisions were made without knowing the facts. [More…]
I can assure you, Mr President, that they will regret many of the decisions before this session is over and before we, finish explaining to the people what bad decisions they were. [More…]
We have had a one-man Government and a 2-man Govern ment. [More…]
Last time it was a two-man government. [More…]
1 guess that next time it will be a oneman government and it will be for a longer period if we leave the present Government in power long enough. [More…]
The facts of this matter are that the people of those islands, to a man and to a woman, want to remain part of Queensland. [More…]
Breathes there the man, with soul so dead, [More…]
Hopefully Ryan, who was hanged then, will be the last man to die on the gallows in Australia. [More…]
Moreover, many murders are committed in circumstances where the offender does not calculate the consequences of his crime. [More…]
We rightly place a high value on the sanctity of human life. [More…]
There are cases both in Australia and elsewhere where it has been found after the conviction of a man for murder that either the act was committed by someone else or that fresh evidence has become available which made the conviction unsafe. [More…]
I refer firstly to what he said after a Cabinet meeting - I think it was the first Cabinet meeting after the 2- man government ceased - on 20th December 1972, The Prime Minister’s statement was: [More…]
He quotes the Declaration of Human Rights but he forgets to quote the International Labour Organisation Conventions. [More…]
But he and his government, provided for 23 years the vehicle of conscription to unionism in many industries. [More…]
Under that agreement a man has the right to work in the industry only if he is a member of the Waterside Workers Union. [More…]
If anybody was going to be put off from the job because of redundancy, the first man to go off was the non-unionist. [More…]
A man who is a member of an organisation pays for the system and for the expenses of Federal officials who come to Canberra to talk to us. [More…]
Mr President, I am amazed at the reaction to a statement of fact that trade union officials are just normal human beings who are subject to all the limitations, temptations and weaknesses of ordinary people, irrespective of whether they are members of the Democratic Labor Party, the Australian Labor Party or any other organisation. [More…]
In the philosophy to which I have always subscribed as a Labor man, nobody has ever been sufficiently pure to be entrusted with powers placing him above the law, with powers to deny to his fellow human beings something that is their right because of their employment. [More…]
If the Government says that a man who works in a particular industry shall receive benefits only under certain conditions; if an organisation representing pensioners, invalids or blind people were to gain a promise from a political party that it would implement a particular proposal if it were elected to office, why, to carry the matter to its logical conclusion, should it not be that only those who have seen fit to join the organisation which carries out the agitation shall be the beneficiaries of any legislation resulting from that agitation? [More…]
As a rural man I do not know why he took up the cudgels on behalf of the legal fraternity. [More…]
been many squeals about the do-it-yourself divorce kit. [More…]
It looked to rae as if that profession was a little afraid that the layman was invading the legal man’s province. [More…]
I have an idea that that has happened to the gentleman on my half right. [More…]
He was an erstwhile Labor man and a former officer of a trade union, but I have not heard him once attack the profession of the gentleman who moved the motion which the honourable senator supported so strongly. [More…]
There may come a time when, for better industrial relations, power can be given to one man to make a decision although it may be contrary to the law of the land. [More…]
Is the Prime Minister to be believed as an honest man or must his statements be supported by other phrases or statements that are aligned with Labor’s policy? [More…]
Is Mr Cameron an honest man? [More…]
How many times does this question have to be asked of Government supporters? [More…]
Perhaps the next speaker in this debate can correct me but I am told that union subscriptions include some mandatory payment to the Labor Party. [More…]
I mention those figures because I believe that to the average working man $23.40 is a pretty substantial fee. [More…]
He was a man of tremendous courage and although for what he believed in he sacrifices a very promising political career, I never at any time heard him complain about the results of what he did. [More…]
He was a friend for many years. [More…]
To live respected and die regretted is the greatest achievement in the life of any man. [More…]
But not once did he speak of the legal profession, of which many honourable senators opposite are members; not once did he refer to the legal profession robbing widows, workers and goodness knows what others by taking money out of trust accounts. [More…]
What happens is that the law council acts as both judge and jury to lake away that man’s livelihood. [More…]
Many members of the Australian Labor Party are in the Federated Clerks Union for the same reason as we joined it. [More…]
How can a man pay money every year to belong to 2 trade unions if he hates them? [More…]
He believes that they should have the power to force a man to join a union by industrial action and yet he says that he is opposed to compulsory unionism. [More…]
We were requested to take action by the Federated Clerks Union, which is affiliated to the Geelong Trades Hall Council and of which Senator McManus is a member. [More…]
(Quorum formed) Before the quorum was called I was referring to the union to which Senator McManus so proudly boasts he belongs in Victoria, this union that he says would never coerce workers and would uphold the right of freebooters to get all the benefits that the union could obtain for them. [More…]
So a dispute took place, initially in the form of discussions conducted with the management around a table. [More…]
It was a case of the DLP versus what I shall term to be and still am proud to be a left wing Labor man. [More…]
I was a young man and unmarried at the time. [More…]
It was one of the worst jobs one could ever get, but every married man in that factory put bis name down for it. [More…]
A man supporting a wife and 2 children, drawing unemployment benefit and even after allowing for child endowment, has been paid a benefit rate some $17 a week below the updated Melbourne University poverty line. [More…]
It came at a time when, after a succession of leaders who had the characteristics of having been bureaucrats and having had a feudal origin, the Japanese people, through the conferences of the Liberal Democratic Party, elected for the first time a leader who is not a bureaucrat, who is not of feudal origin and who, although I understand he is now affluent, is essentially a man of the people - Mr Tanaka. [More…]
The Government recognises that the use of leisure in a modern society presents problems and opportunities involving profound questions of the relations between man and his community - [More…]
To claim a so-called mandate on an individual policy issue, unless that issue has been directly put in a referendum or a policy speech, is dishonest. [More…]
It is probable that many who voted for the ALP are completely unaware of the Party’s attitude on some subjects and opposed to it on others. [More…]
Therefore, to claim that the Government is following the will of the people would be a dangerous precedent for a democratic country; just as dangerous as the spectacle of this Australian democracy being controlled by a 2-man Government. [More…]
Now how does this alleged mandate affect the Senate? [More…]
I would remind the Government that we too were sent here with just as good a mandate as the Government now claims it possesses. [More…]
Yet this present Government has announced that the rewards for the labour of a man or woman depends no longer on the basis of the value of work performed but on whether a man or woman is a unionist. [More…]
A man’s reward, according to our Labor Government, should depend not on how hard he works or how much individual initiative and enterprise he puts into his work but on whether he or she belongs to a union or whether an employer gives preference to unionists. [More…]
As it is, Dr Patterson, who is probably the only ALP man with a proper understanding of primary industry, has been made the Minister in charge of sugar and virtually isolated from any influence in the field of primary industry. [More…]
Senator Withers is a legal man. [More…]
The sort of people in the Harry Lime - Third Man mould around Vienna are the ones who I would have no compunction whatever about shooting. [More…]
When 1 was talking recently to a prominent Sydney doctor - I am not going to mention his name, although the proceedings are not being broadcast - he sounded me out about whether the Minister for Social Security, Mr Hayden, was a nice man. [More…]
I said that he was a very fair man. [More…]
We want to speak man to man with the Americans about what is taking place at North West Cape and what sort of controls should be employed. [More…]
Firstly, Mr Barnard has been called upon to carry a task impossible for any man. [More…]
I believe it is asking too much of a very sincere man to give him control of those 5 portfolios and expect him to carry it out. [More…]
Do we have joint management? [More…]
Senator McManus, in his concluding remarks, made the point about a new Prime Minister coming in, the toils of office and whether he could be a man for all seasons. [More…]
Consider the way President Kennedy handled or mismanaged the inherited debacle in the Bay of Pigs. [More…]
As far as Cuba is concerned I would say that an area was left for manoeuvre by the Russians. [More…]
more so, in the other place, one will find that when any Labor man questioned joint control taunts were hurled across the chamber implying that he was a Benedict Arnold or something like that. [More…]
I honestly believe that the role of Australia in the future will be akin to that taken by many of the Scandinavian countries. [More…]
I am as interested in open government as the honourable senators opposite but 1 have one qualification; I am reminded by the interjectors of another famous person, Thomas Hardy, who said: That man’s silence is wonderful to listen to’. [More…]
Undoubtedly, that man is coming to Australia because the United States fears that what this Government is doing in Asia is creating chaos in the area and undoing the good of the past. [More…]
The total insensitivity of a man who is a part-time Foreign Minister could not have been more greatly demonstrated. [More…]
When pressed, the experts told the Government that as far as human science could measure, something like 0.002 of one person might suffer some effect in the next 25 years. [More…]
Do you know that we can measure either natural or man made earth tremors? [More…]
Mr Barnard, as the Minister for Defence, has been in bother as being an overoccupied man. [More…]
I think someone said that Mr Barnard is a humble man. [More…]
What happened was that there was a report, that officials on the Australian Prime Minister’s tour, when confronted with a flat rejection by Dr Malik of Mr Whitlam’s thesis, proceeded to say to Australian journalists in a private briefing: ‘This man Malik is erratic. [More…]
In at least 2 aspects the Rules will achieve a result entirely, opposite to what a man as humane as Senator Murphy obviously intended: [More…]
I am sure that honourable senators will readily recognise there some very substantial attitude of co-operation towards Senator Murphy, to the extent that, I think, many honourable senators here would find hard to recognise, particularly when it refers to a man as humane as Senator Murphy. [More…]
At all events, they are exercising a most co-operative attitude and, in some respects, a very new and, in their case, humane attitude towards divorce law reform. [More…]
Indeed in the Press statement which was issued it was stated that in at least 2 aspects the rules would achieve a result entirely opposed to what a man as humane as Senator Murphy obviously intended. [More…]
The Government’s view is that the special or total and permanent incapacity rate payable to a man or woman who has been classified as totally and permanently incapacitated because of war related incapacity should not be less than the adult Commonwealth minimum wage. [More…]
I remember a story that I heard once about a woman who lost a very good husband. [More…]
This man had worked very hard and had provided very well. [More…]
Probably she achieved more in the first 100 days than she had in the previous years during which she was managed by her good husband. [More…]
I hope that the directors of this business at this time have suffcient intelligence and sufficient economic nous to know how far they can go in these many areas of expenditure. [More…]
An instance is given of an unemployed standard family consisting of a man, his wife, one daughter 6 to IS years and one male student 16 to 21 years. [More…]
I have met the man who heads one of the most attractive philanthropic institutions in Victoria, an institution which I believe attracted many people to vote against the former government because of its policies relating to unemployment. [More…]
I have a high regard for the reverend gentleman who heads this institution. [More…]
I spent a great deal of time talking to him about the booklets which his society had put out criticising the former government and saying what should be done about unemployment, instancing the very great problem which his society had with the very many unemployed persons who had come to it for assistance. [More…]
I posed to him my view that he would find that, generally, there was a very large percentage of unemployed people who, because perhaps of some mental or physical disability, could not be considered as permanent employees. [More…]
He was unable to introduce me to any such persons from among the many thousands whom he had said came under the banners of his society. [More…]
There was also a group at the Trades Hall in Melbourne which had a traditional background of being permanently unemployed. [More…]
A standard family consists of a man. [More…]
Medicine is such a long course you find that you have on your hands a young man of 24 summers who has no income because according to a means test the income of his parents is said to be sufficient to deprive him of a living allowance or anything that his scholarship may have earned for him. [More…]
You find that you have to fork out to keep a young man in that situation at the standard to which you would like to see your son of 22, 23 or 24 years able to live. [More…]
After all, it is perfectly reasonable for a young man in his twenties to take his girl out and so on, and that comes back on to the parents. [More…]
I ask the Senate to take notice of the counsel of the Leader of the Government (Senator Murphy) because I have been informed - and I am seeking information through the research section of the Parliamentary Library to confirm the information that has been conveyed to me - that the gentleman who would be the subject of this inquiry has taken legal action against a journalist and a newspaper on much the same sort of subject matter as is contained in the proposal moved by Senator Gair and which would be subject to inquiry by a Senate committee. [More…]
I simply say this to the Senate, and I concede that it is based on very limited experience in this chamber: I can recall that one night when I was an Opposition member the then Leader of the Government, Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson, a man I have some respect for, gave me certain advice. [More…]
I have never seen a more flagrant abuse of the rules of this Senate than that a member of a certain Party should have a writ issued against him for defamation by an Australian citizen and, while this writ is still extant and has not been dealt with, that very Party should move a motion in the Senate to blackguard the man who is party to the action against the DLP senator. [More…]
Are we to have 2 trials of this man? [More…]
They should not blackguard a man in this coward’s castle. [More…]
But can we believe that this is what they will do when the Opposition is prepared to support a proposition which gives a majority to the Opposition in order to set up and frame a man who has been prepared to test his bona fides by issuing a writ against a DLP senator who apparently is not prepared to face him in court but wants to have the matter dealt with in absentia in the Senate tonight? [More…]
The Australian people do not accept the proposition involved in blackguarding a man in his absence when there has been an opportunity to deal with him judicially. [More…]
Precedent has to be established at some time and great is the man who establishes precedent. [More…]
If it was not contrary to the practice of the Senate and to proper principles that a debate on the laws under which a man was currently awaiting sentence in the courts should proceed, then it seems to me that no circumstances^ - however uncertain, imprecise and lacking any real knowledge - which have been raised by the Government tonight should prevent this debate from taking place. [More…]
Mr Burchett is a remarkable man - he has friends on both sides of the Iron Curtain. [More…]
You are a man trained in the law. [More…]
I want to know why, when there is action pending in the court, the Opposition wants to precipitate a debate in this Parliament about a man whose whole reputation is to be tested in the court. [More…]
The basis of the action is that honourable senators opposite are promoting a case against a man who offered to have his case tried before a royal commission. [More…]
Do not get me wrong on this; you will have to accept my word for it that every man is entitled to justice and justice is obtained in the courts of law. [More…]
The man has never been charged, he has never been before any court of law, but Senator Hannan, an alleged lawyer, said that his actions were treasonable. [More…]
We heard Senator McManus conclude his reasoned speech tonight by saying that Wilfred Burchett is indeed a fortunate person because he has friends behind the Iron Curtain and in front of the Iron Curtain. [More…]
They say that the actions of this man are treasonable, and then they add that he is a friend of Dr Kissinger. [More…]
I have a document here which indicates that a man has been persecuted in this country because for 6 weeks he belonged to the Communist Party. [More…]
What sort of dereliction of duty were they guilty of when this man Wilfred Burchett was in this country 12 months ago? [More…]
If it is urgent now, was it not urgent 12 months ago when this man came into Australia? [More…]
He quite clearly made a direct imputation that there was some treasonable conduct on the part of this man. [More…]
Where was he last year when this man was back in the country? [More…]
They therefore represented not one man’s point of view as to the appropriate procedural rules but a combined Australian point of view of those experienced in the field. [More…]
Senator Murphy makes great play of the fact that he has abolished what has come to be called the confession statement, in the interests of what he calls the dignity of man. [More…]
The wife yields to a man who has an income of $10,000 a year. [More…]
It gives us an insight into the mind of the draftsman of these rules when we find that after providing that these things should occur, it is stated: [More…]
But did Australia have 1,000 troops based on the Isle of Wight, on the Isle of Man or in the south of England? [More…]
Did we demand that those troops should be there to show that we were true? [More…]
We will have to pour tens of millions of dollars of aid not into building up any regime but into patching up the wounded, putting them into hospitals where many of them will remain for the rest of their lives. [More…]
We are not going to be concerned whether the type of government of the man who is lying in hospital is a communist government or a right wing government or whether it is going to be some form of a coalition government. [More…]
Although I do not always agree with the man who made the statement I believe it is correct. [More…]
He said that the apple industry in Tasmania had reached its moment of truth. [More…]
An industry that is worth $15m to a small State like Tasmania with a population of 300,000 people is well worth preserving. [More…]
It has been struggling for many years against the gravest financial difficulty and I believe that the Government’s revaluation has just about put the cap on the whole financial aspect of the apple industry in Tasmania. [More…]
But will it spread to primary industry, to the small self-employed man who has been struggling for years in Tasmania to keep his orchard going? [More…]
This organisation, separate and distinct from the HRB - the Croatian Revolutionary Brotherhood - is the Australian Branch of the UHN- the League of United Croats of West Germany. [More…]
Its leader in Germany is one Ante Vukic whom our Commonwealth Police considered such a dangerous man that they advised the Department of Immigration against granting him a permit to visit Australia in May 1972. [More…]
The organisation in Germany was associated over the last decade with attempted murders of Yugoslav officials and attacks on Yugoslav embassies and employed strong-arm squads to threaten other Croats living in Germany for the purpose of either conscripting them into the organisation or extracting financial contributions. [More…]
Its leader is a man with a particularly violent record named Jakov Suljak. [More…]
Why was this man, Suljak, not deported in 1969 as recommended by the Commissioner of Commonwealth Police? [More…]
I understand your apprehension is that he is a man with a propensity to violence and that, >n view of recent happenings involving violence to persons and property, we have a paramount obligation to the Australian community to remove him from the country. [More…]
Surely that was a mild charge to lay at the door of a man whom the documents prove to have been the active protector of terrorists! [More…]
The latter admits that he will use any means possible to achieve an independent Croatia; claims to know that one of the Andric brothers (since killed in the Bosnia incursion) made the pen bomb which exploded in Richmond Town Hall on 2nd September 1967, gravely injuring a young man; advocates the violent overthrow of the Yugoslav Government. [More…]
Document B6(b) contains a copy of a record of interview on ABC television on 20 September 1972 with Fabian Lovokovic, the leader of HOP in Sydney and the man referred to in the correspondence in document B3. [More…]
I understand your apprehension is that he is a man with a propensity to violence and that, in view of recent happenings involving violence to persons and property, we have a paramount obligation to the Australian community to remove him from the country. [More…]
Can the Attorney-General explain why the home of Franjo Till, a Croatian invalid pensioner of 17 Nineteenth Street, Narrabundah, Australian Capital Territory, was entered and searched in the dead of night - at 3.25 a.m., to be precise - on 18th March last by a Commonwealth policeman, one Alfred Meir? [More…]
Does the Minister know that Alfred Meir was accompanied by one other man in plain clothes who spoke fluent Croatian and who refused to identify himself? [More…]
Is he aware that this raid took place in the presence of 6 adults and a number of children, all of whom were wakened and terrified by a raid so typical of Nazi Germany? [More…]
Can he explain why the man accompanying Constable Meir was, according to Till, a member of the Yugoslav secret police? [More…]
Can he inform the Senate how many Yugoslav secret police came to Australia with the man who he called a distinguished visitor, one Bijedic, once c’hief of the secret police in Yugoslavia? [More…]
Can he inform the Senate how many Yugoslav secret police accompanied raids upon Australian homes in Canberra during the past 10 to 12 days? [More…]
When certain information came to me I reproved Senator Hannan for having suggested at one and the same time that I was a personal acquaintance of the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia and that that man was a villain. [More…]
What we do know without any shadow of a doubt is that Senator Wood is a man who has, throughout his lengthy parliamentary career and his service on the Regulations and Ordinances Committee, been thoroughly committed to the traditional principles of parliamentary representation. [More…]
His role and reputation as Chairman of the Regulations and Ordinances Committee has spread far beyond this country. [More…]
This is an appropriate commendation of a man who has made it his personal responsibility to ensure the proper workings of the Committee. [More…]
The Parliament owes much to Senator Wood for his contribution since 1950 and especially since he became the Committee’s Chairman in 1953. [More…]
I do not know whether this is as a result of his work on the Committee or whether his dedication to the Committee is as a result of his interest in Parliament and in its proper functioning, but certainly Senator Wood is essentially a parliamentary man. [More…]
The matters raised by the former AttorneyGeneral, Senator Greenwood, in relation to what has transpired in the past 12 days and particularly today are matters, I believe, of great importance not only to the Senate but also to the people of Australia as to whether they do not give rise to real concern for the actions of one man whose assumption of power has been extreme. [More…]
Obviously, he had some reason for not wishing to contact that man. [More…]
There are many questions which require urgent answers. [More…]
No doubt, they will be able to see the significance of the sorts of points that I make - ‘that when power is used in a manner which is irresponsible and arrogant then it brings forth a resistance which is right and proper in circumstances in which people question and argue as to whether that power should be used in that way. [More…]
Can the Australian people look forward to having a separated security intelligence organisation and a separated police force, or will we find that we have a welding and a melding into one organisation of some sort of political police under the direction of one man? [More…]
Yes, the former Attorney-General set himself up as the champion of civil liberties, the man who presided over the administration of a department which repeatedly refused naturalisation to citizens of this country who had never been convicted of any offence. [More…]
The former Attorney-General refused entry visas to many persons who wanted to come to this country - without any charges being made, without any follow through ever being made and without anyone ever being told why they were not being allowed to come to this country. [More…]
If the Director-General is a man of principle; if it is true, as is either alleged or implied by everybody who has spoken from the opposite side, that there has been some breach of the Act, that the [More…]
Attorney-General has behaved improperly; if the Director-General knows his law and if he is a man of integrity, why has he not offered his resignation? [More…]
Surely a man with any integrity who believes that he was placed in such an impossible situation - that his Attorney-General was behaving improperly, coming in without search warrants or whatever it is that he ought to have, taking away documents and dealing with him in some scandalous manner - would not tolerate such a position. [More…]
I am positive that the second man, who refused to identify himself, was a Yugoslav police officer, because though he spoke very little to me he pronounced Croatian names and spelt them rapidly in a way which is not possible for one not from my own country. [More…]
Yes, I am a tolerant man. [More…]
Mr Barbour is, no doubt, a tolerant man also. [More…]
Mr Deputy President, the amendments to the Matrimonial Causes Rules which are the subject of this motion are an expression not of one man’s view but of a combined view expressed by those experienced in the field of divorce and matrimonial causes. [More…]
He is the man who deplores the smear. [More…]
Not many people have those doubts. [More…]
I think most people who have some knowledge of the law regard Mr Justice Selby as being a very logical judge, a man of great erudition with a very sound grasp not only of logic but also of the questions relating to divorce which come before him. [More…]
What I am saying is this: Under that statute every young man on reaching the age of 20 years was required to register for national service and was then subject to a ballot. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that as a result of the recent improved prices for some primary products sections of the community now hold the view that the man on the land is once again in an affluent position? [More…]
Will the Minister make a Press statement clarifying the position by pointing out that the man on the land has, for some considerable time, been adversely affected by low prices and rising costs? [More…]
To put it in another way, as a former cabinet maker and a craftsman of some distinction, if I wanted an opinion about a piece of furniture I would not be asking the local butcher. [More…]
As the President of the Law Institute of Australia said, complicated procedures impose indignity and delay and as everyone is prepared to admit, with the exception of Opposition honourable senators who have spoken in the debate, impose expenses and charges far beyond the means of many people to meet. [More…]
Notwithstanding the ingenuity of man, there is no way in which laws and rules can be made to regulate human nature and in particular human emotions. [More…]
That just shows how innaccurate may be the impression conveyed of a man’s speech when it is retailed to the country. [More…]
It is not possible for me to suppose that that inaccuracy is due to incompetence; there is some much more sinister motive than that when a reporter can report that I opposed a limit on fees when actually what I said was that I disagreed in the nth degree and would oppose to the nth degree a client or a client’s adversary being exposed to excessive demands for professional fees. [More…]
This man, until recently, as the Leader of the Australian Country Party was the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia. [More…]
When Senator Townley accepted the payment which was prescribed by law when he stood for election, surely he was enough of a man of the world to know that it could be altered at some time, as it has been altered from time to time since federation. [More…]
Because of the petulance of some honourable senators opposite who cannot get the call to ask questions 7 or 8 times in a row they are making this indirect attack on a man who I believe is one of the finest Presidents that this Senate has ever had. [More…]
He is the one man who should know everything that is in every document, because he has declassified these documents which were formerly secret documents. [More…]
We know that security organisations have many means of gathering information. [More…]
Many of the documents and letters are signed. [More…]
We had the Bogle murder mystery solved for us after many long hours of sitting during the adjournment debate. [More…]
One man who has been charged said that he is a Serb and not a Croat. [More…]
Also I ensured that they were accepted by the man who was vested with the operational responsibility for carrying out those procedures, namely the Commissioner of Commonwealth Police. [More…]
I think the last of those statements was made by the permanent head of my Department. [More…]
do so because it has no continuity of contracts and because of the cost of production, with the number of man hours lost, as Senator Gair said, at 260,000. [More…]
find a solution to the problems - caused by -, lost man hours through industrial disputes. [More…]
The work involved in manufacture of an Airtourer and its CT4 trainer version is about one man year of skilled labour. [More…]
Today it might be thought that the Senate is passing this Bill to remove some racial discrimination against Aborigines whereas, if I understand the history of the Bill correctly, it was introduced originally to protect Aborigines against exploitation by the white man. [More…]
Today it may be imagined by do-gooders that this was some sort of evil plot introduced by the white man to exploit and downgrade Aborigines. [More…]
I simply say that any man who is put off by a cost of 0.45 cents a night is simply not serious, any more than the bringing of this measure before the Senate is a serious attempt to improve the economic structure of our taxation system. [More…]
This measure has been hailed as some form of emancipation for womankind. [More…]
Many useful household items which enter into the cost of living carry a tax of 27 per cent. [More…]
But if we take the average throughout the community in the various areas of lending today - certainly in the past few years - the expansion of a second group of institutions into banking and thereby into housing has meant that, depending on the skill and ability of the finance seeker and perhaps the demands on finance available for housing, we see a rate of interest of anywhere between 4i per cent and 8i per cent being charged to home builders. [More…]
That is of great concern to me because if we take a simple borrowing that a working man may need today - say, $15,000 for a home - we can see very readily that on the higher scale he has to find some $1,200 a year for interest repayments along with repayments of capital. [More…]
It is my intention to recommend to Cabinet that the guaranteed minimum wage levy in the non-permanent ports be funded from the charges made under the Stevedoring Charges Act. [More…]
This means that all ports, permanent and non-permanent, will contribute to the minimum wage payments made in the smaller ports. [More…]
For example, in Portland the guaranteed minimum wage levy will be reduced from $1.15 per man hour to about 2c or 3c per nian hour. [More…]
AH the non-permanent ports will be advantaged by the change as this levy of 2c or 3c per man hour will be uniform. [More…]
One can hear a lot of arguments about where inflation comes from - demand pressures, cost pressures, money supply. [More…]
Then the Government will say to some poor little man in a small industry: ‘Come before the committee and explain yourself - that is, explain things which the Government did to him, not things that he did to the Government. [More…]
I put this forward as one of the recommendations that the committee could make when it sees the imbalance between the employer and the employee and between wages and prices: It could recommend that the working man should be represented on the boards of all the monopolistic companies operating in Australia. [More…]
It could recommend that there be close liaison between management and employees to get this co-operation. [More…]
The statement emanating from ASIO, which Senator Murphy declared subsequently by an answer to a question to have come from the Director-General himself, is a curious self-serving statement. [More…]
Are we to believe that a man who has never previously complained, now, in the extraordinary atmosphere which the Attorney-General by his raid on ASIO has created, suddenly discovers an indifference in the former Attorneys-General? [More…]
What I said was that I believe that any rational man would be convinced by this film. [More…]
Why did he not answer the charge that there is a clear and recent High Court case which establishes the fact that immigration authorities in Australia do not have to deport a man to the country of his origin. [More…]
And if anyone should be familiar with the statement in Wolfenden’s case, which I paraphrase as being to the effect that throughout the web of the criminal law one golden thread is always to be seen, namely: every man is presumed to be innocent until proved guilty’, it ought to be the Attorney. [More…]
Attorney-General who seems to have a determination to secure overall control of as many police forces and police activities as possible. [More…]
No one man has a monopoly of truth or justice. [More…]
If a man is found guilty of terrorist activities, what other countries will be prepared to accept him? [More…]
It is fairly obvious to us that Mr Chifley, the Prime Minister responsible for the establishment of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and a Labor man truly representative of the working people of this country, had, like other Australians, different standards of fairness and decency from those to which Senator Murphy adheres. [More…]
In reply to a question asked by me in relation to what we regarded as left wing governments, he said: ‘Look, whether it be Roumania or Yugoslavia, these governments do not have outside territorial ambitions.’ [More…]
Senator McManus knows full well that the authorities spoke to the ecclesiastical people in Melbourne about this man who v/as put off limits in Bonegilla. [More…]
That man persisted in a stupid attitude. [More…]
If a man wants to be bigoted Orthodox or bigoted Catholic he should not be given a position of authority. [More…]
I put it to the Opposition in this way: If honourable senators have read the recently published book which deals with Dr Bialoguski’s- of Petrov inquiry fame - own concept of life and they know that he was the sort of man who fed material to security, then I will not accept that he has been objective. [More…]
I want to refer now to the document that came into existence in 1972 because this man Marie has been stigmatised by Senator Murphy as a man against whom he has evidence. [More…]
Senator Greenwood replied to questions last year, not as a layman using loose, trashy language, which Senator James McClelland expected to hear from an AttorneyGeneral - perhaps he expected that because of his long acquaintance with Senator Murphy - but as a responsible, knowledgeable man of integrity. [More…]
When Tito was a young man he went to live in Russia. [More…]
I will stand in this House in support of any man if I feel that he is being wrongly accused of some act which in his own mind he was justified in doing because of what he thought was right. [More…]
I feel that he was actually seeking to protect people from a possible event similar to that which happened many months ago in Sydney when bombs were placed in a public area. [More…]
I think Senator Greenwood will agree with me when I say that I have stood in support of him as I will stand in support of any man in this Senate if I think he is being unjustifiably accused. [More…]
They receive so many false leads that they give up. [More…]
The Minister whose responsibility it is to administer the law impartially, to ensure that the great principle of the rule of law that a person is innocent until proven guilty is upheld, the man who is charged over all others with impartiality, has shown a political bias, a willingness to use and abuse parliamentary privilege and to bring into this Parliament selected documents to serve his own political purposes. [More…]
This is the man who faces an amendment moved to the motion before the Senate which reads in part that ‘the Attorney-General, Senator Murphy, does not deserve the confidence of this Senate’. [More…]
Indeed, there are many people to the Left of the political spectrum in this country who would see a raid on ASIO being devised for the very reason of getting the names of informants so that punitive action can be taken. [More…]
For a man to do this and to refuse to say why is for the man to lose the confidence of this Parliament. [More…]
It is outrageous to believe that one -man’s freedom is in any way less than another’s. [More…]
We then have in the documents but not in the speech by the Attorney-General a statement that there appears a pretty strong case that one man, Mudrinic, was an agent for the Yugoslav embassy here. [More…]
Who were the people who, man for man, went out and said: ‘We will not declare this organisation illegal. [More…]
Senator Greenwood has gone further than that and has said that long after the date on which Senator Murphy alleges that this man was taken off that work by him, he, that is Senator Greenwood, was still receiving reports signed by that man. [More…]
It opposed such a proposal, and opposed it vigorously, lt debated at great length the need to protect the interest of a man such as Mr Burchett against whom allegations have been made over a period of some 20 years. [More…]
I wonder why it granted naturalisation to a gentleman who has been a resident in Australia for some 20 years. [More…]
According to the Labor Party, that is all right in relation to persons whose activities are such as those of Mr Burchett who was given a passport by the new Government and the man who was granted naturalisation by the new Government after he had made many applications. [More…]
They are prepared to bring under one man’s direct control the secret police function and the non-secret State and [More…]
Senator Murphy wants to bring those functions under, one man’s control. [More…]
He wants to have the police investigating drug matters, the ordinary Commonwealth police and all the other police brought under one man’s control. [More…]
What do we find amongst the first actions of this man as Attorney-General? [More…]
Does that sound like the action of a man who was indifferent and who did not care to investigate the allegations which were being made? [More…]
The precautions taken and the dangers associated with the visit resulted in the situation that he could not be shown to many people. [More…]
Here was a man who was determined to ensure that the safety of a visiting dignitary to this country was preserved. [More…]
Here is a man who today has a document which would completely exonerate him from the charges that have been made but who is not prepared to disclose it on the advice of security officers that doing so would be a danger to Australia’s security intelligence. [More…]
This man who was a danger to Australia’s safety was permitted the freedom of Australia because we did not have sufficient proof, we are told, to succeed in a prosecution. [More…]
Before I go on to indicate what the AssistantDirector said, one can see the justification and can realise that this man was engaged in terrorist activity. [More…]
However, this man was kept in Australia by an appeal from the then AttorneyGeneral who wrote: [More…]
He continued: 1 understand your apprehension is that he is a man with a propensity to violence and that, in view of recent happenings involving violence to persons and property, we have a paramount obligation to the Australian community to remove him from the country. [More…]
In that letter Senator Greenwood was agreeing that this man had a propensity to violence and that the Government had a responsibility to remove him for the safety of our citizens. [More…]
But what was the decision of the man who was the guardian of the safety of Australian citizens? [More…]
Whether this man got a sentence of 9 months or 10 years, the whole question is whether he was liable to deportation. [More…]
There is the accusation that the former Attorney-General was defending this man’s retention in Australia because he might face imprisonment or a trial if he went to Yugoslavia. [More…]
Senator Murphy has pointed out the incompetence, the inability or the refusal of the Attorney-General to see - because of a judgment of the High Court - that it was not necessary to deport this man to his country of origin. [More…]
It was not necessary to deport this man to a country where he would have to face trial for his political opinions. [More…]
But despite that the AttorneyGeneral as a legal man, as the protector of the law and, I suppose, as a recorder of Supreme Court decisions, was in a position to know this because his job made it necessary for him to know. [More…]
What Senator Greenwood appealed to the Department of Immigration to protect this man from need never have been a threat. [More…]
This man represents the extreme of the elements whom Senator Rae wants to imprison and to whom he wants to refuse passport. [More…]
Those honourable senators want this man in Australia. [More…]
There has been a frank submission - despite the threat to the safety of Australian citizens - that honourable senators want such a man here. [More…]
I speak about one man. [More…]
I do not know whether the man to whom I refer is honest or dishonest. [More…]
But I know that this man has been savagely traduced in the Parliament and without comment, without necessarily believing or disbelieving it, I propose to quote from an affidavit by a man known to Senator Mulvihill as Srecko Rover made on 4th September 1970. [More…]
I do not know whether the man is telling the truth. [More…]
It is almost inconceivable that a man actuated by justice, rectitude, honesty, integrity, probity and all the other qualities that should be the [More…]
About a week before the visit by this man I had occasion to speak to the Attorney-General. [More…]
What other shortcomings he may have - I am dealing in this instance with him only on his approach to terrorism and violence in Australia and his fanaticism regarding law and order - he is an intelligent and industrious man. [More…]
That is the statement of a man who has been proved to be incorrect in his previous assumptions. [More…]
One was later picked up in New South Wales and 2 were apprehended in Tasmania. [More…]
The third person is the man about whom I am going to speak. [More…]
His name is Gary John Mangan. [More…]
Mangan was brought back to Brisbane. [More…]
The police prosecutor Detective Senior Sergeant F. G. Donaghue told the court that Mangan admitted having been aware when he gave explosives to 2 men that they were going ‘to blow up some Commie place*. [More…]
Sergeant Donaghue said that the police case would be that, on the day of the violence, Mangan bought 16 sticks of gelignite, 24 feet of fuse and 6 detonators from a Brisbane company. [More…]
Mangan told Mr Kingston: [More…]
August that the Commonwealth police were searching for a man charged with complicity in the Brisbane bombing following a telephone threat to the Department of Civil Aviation to blow up an airliner unless 2 of his friends were released from Hobart gaol. [More…]
Mangan was finally arrested at Wellington a few days later and extradited to Queensland. [More…]
In his next court appearance on 26th September police tendered evidence - two witnesses and a signed receipt - of Mangan’s purchase of the explosives used to bomb the Communist Party headquarters as well as the confessional statements made by Mangan to police. [More…]
- I do not think he is a relation of the former AttorneyGeneral - committed Mangan for trial at the District Court sittings commencing on 23rd October. [More…]
Mangan came before Judge McCracken on Friday, 10th November. [More…]
Judge McCracken upheld a defence contention that Mangan - the man who was responsible for the bombing of a building and who threatened the lives of 9 people in an act of extreme violence and terrorism - had been unlawfully detained by New South Wales police on a vagrancy charge. [More…]
Judge McCracken used his judicial discretion to rule out the main evidence against Mangan, including the record of admission Mangan made to the police. [More…]
I have only reported what actually happened, that is, that in a signed confession to police officers a man said that he bombed certain headquarters on 19th April and that he had explosives in his possession. [More…]
Parliament is a place where a man cannot be gagged or threatened with law proceedings . [More…]
His attack on the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and what has happened to ‘that organisation as a result of his raid indicate to me that he is not a fit man to hold the position of Attorney-General or to be in charge of the security of this country. [More…]
There were full page advertisements in the Dallas newspaper saying: ‘This man is wanted for treason’. [More…]
This man was writing from Argentina and sending material to Croatians here. [More…]
This document goes on to state that the way in which the organisation - that is the Revolutionary Croatian Brotherhood - works is as follows: They have an intelligence branch, a technical bomb-manufacturing branch, a propaganda branch and a special squad branch which specialises in bombthrowing, kidnapping and assassination. [More…]
Many people talk about what the Croatians and Yugoslavs are doing in this country. [More…]
As I said at the outset, there is no man to whom I would attribute honesty of purpose more than I would to Senator Greenwood. [More…]
I feel also that the present Attorney-General is a man who has a determination to carry out his work in the best way and to uphold the rights of the Parliament by honest endeavour. [More…]
I think as time passes many people will regret that the steps which were taken were taken. [More…]
He is a man who Senator Murphy has admitted he trusts. [More…]
Why did not he go about this matter in a normal, civilised manner? [More…]
This seems to me to be the statement of a man. [More…]
My friend interjects and says that the gentleman who visited this country, a leading dignitary, is a gangster. [More…]
I say frankly that the interjection by the honourable senator is a disgrace to this nation because this man, irrespective of his political views, is the political leader of the people in his country. [More…]
The honourable senator can bring it up to date by noting the arrival in Australia in 1970 or 1971 of a man who had a koala bear inside which were 4 silencers. [More…]
There was an organisation in France, one in Germany, one in Argentine and one in Australia. [More…]
I met a man who was not there. [More…]
You think to yourselves: ‘Here we have a man we can crucify, so let us crucify him’. [More…]
Firstly, I want to say that Senator Greenwood’s statement has all the hallmarks of proper and logical documentation that we have come to expect from this honest, able and sincere man. [More…]
It has not been founded on fact but rather on animosity arising from, I think, a jealous appreciation of this man’s great and wide ability. [More…]
In my assessment as an ordinary person using common sense, not as a legal man, Senator Greenwood has pointed out in his statement the very core of the whole matter. [More…]
We have on record 2 members of the previous Government, the Right Honourable William McMahon and Mr Lynch, objecting to the toleration of these persons and demanding that some kind of action should be taken, not believing that there could not be more action taken about these terrorists in the community. [More…]
It was even after that that the man Rover’s passport was cancelled. [More…]
To answer the question in detail would be virtually Impossible given tie critical shortage of expert staff in this area and would require hundreds of man hours of painstaking research. [More…]
It was my duty and my responsibility to see that that man - a distinguished visitor - and his party were able to come here and to depart in safety. [More…]
There can be no doubt whatever that a man is entitled to equal representation whether he lives in the city or the country. [More…]
Let us look at the profits of Myer Emporium and the profits of David Jones Ltd and the profits of many of these companies and we will see - a man with one eye could see - that the margin between the wholesale price and the retail price is far too high. [More…]
I recall that at one of our initial meetings in Melbourne this man McCarthy was there giving us some idea of administration of prices. [More…]
As I indicated earlier in response to an interjection by Senator McManus, I think the greatest crimes which society has to face at the moment are the crimes of terror, murder and violence which are involved in the concept of terrorism. [More…]
I am on record as indicating in this chamber in times past that the crime of terrorism is the greatest crime on the statute book for which I believe the death penalty ought to be imposed, because it is the type of crime which sets at nought human life. [More…]
The man who. [More…]
I have often thought that the $30,000 or so which it may cost to keep a particular type of criminal incarcerated for the many years of his sentence is an enormous cost. [More…]
I know that recently one man was sentenced to 40 years imprisonment with no provision for remission. [More…]
By his action his wife would be able to marry a man who would provide a home and protection for the children. [More…]
Those Bills provided for that action for all sorts of purposes, even for the most minor of matters including the counting of how many eggs or chickens were on a property. [More…]
The former Government tore down the principle that a man’s home was his castle and made grave inroads into the position ot persons in our community. [More…]
Consider what has happened in the last 3 or 4 months in regard to demands by unions. [More…]
Employers have had to grant the salary levels demanded, and margins for the middle man, therefore will have to escalate. [More…]
It is bringing that suggestion forward at a time when the cost factors affecting the middle man, or even the producer, are far outrunning their ability to turn out a profit in business. [More…]
But I believe that it is necessary to point out that the mere mention of extradition or deportation at the present time puts many Australian citizens of overseas origin and many Australian residents of overseas origin into a state of panic. [More…]
While there is a schedule of offences for which they may be returned, they insist - I think it is a reasonable proposition - that evidence can be manufactured, that it would be very difficult for a man who has come to this country from a country abroad to obtain persons to give evidence in those countries if it is against the wishes of the particular government that he do so. [More…]
He is the man who was formerly from Estonia - is an Australian citizen, having been naturalised in the year 1957. [More…]
However, I have the gravest reservations about taking action which can in any way enable a communist country under the guise of seeking to prosecute a man for one of the crimes set out in the schedule, a communist country which can manufacture the evidence without the least difficulty and can then put the man in this country, who has to face up to that evidence, in the position that he has nobody in this country to whom he can turn as a witness and he will be unable to find any witness to appear for him in the communist country because the people there will be afraid of the government. [More…]
I would say that some communist countries, having got the man in their clutches, if they wanted to try him for something else, would not bother about the niceties of asking what the Australian Government at the particular time thought. [More…]
I am unhappy about that and I hope to be given some information that will reassure my mind that this clause may not be used to get a man out of Australia and into a communist country on the pretext that he is to be tried for one of the offences shown here. [More…]
An overseas government could say simply that a man belonged to an organisation in his country which was responsible for the deaths of a large number of people. [More…]
I do not do that from the point of view of defending a man who has been guilty of murder without political implication or guilty of any other crimes without political implications. [More…]
1 am pleased that Senator Davidson has interrupted to ask who won Chaffey because the man who won Chaffey is a supporter of Mr Hall of the Liberal Movement. [More…]
The man who won Chaffey went in as a supporter of Mr Hall, as did Mr Mathwin, Mr Heinrich Becker and a few more. [More…]
Mr Petch, the man who could have beaten Mr Giles had he finished a little bit behind the Australian Labor Party candidate and gained our preferences, which he would have got, instead of finishing in front of our candidate, is secretary of the Upper Murray Winegrape Growers Association. [More…]
Therefore a man who is blinded will get full compensation for his weekly earnings - I think that would be for life; it is not limited to the employable remainder of his life - plus $26,026. [More…]
We believe that regardless of whether a man earns $1,000 a week or $26,000 a week, as in the case stressed by Senator Wright, the widow of such a person whose death is caused by an accident in his occupation should receive what the husband was earning at the time of his death. [More…]
Next, I should like to quote an interesting comment by Mr Julius Chan, the Minister for Finance in Papua New Guinea - a fine man whose friendshipI enjoy - in which he mentions that the kind of financial economic situation that one can look at in Papua New Guinea in the emerging future is to be found in the post-colonial developments in the monetary financial sense of Malaysia and Singapore. [More…]
Mr Chan mentions the particular requirement for large scale investment in the harvest of natural resources and: in the development of our land to produce the food required by the changing needs of our people and in the establishment of our manufacturing industries . [More…]
The smarter the lawyer a man can hire, the larger the estate he will leave to his heirs. [More…]
The Commonwealth estate duties are a device which takes from rural producers much of the vital capital which is needed for farm reconstruction and efficient economic performance. [More…]
It is a prejudiced tax which seizes this man’s assets under the guise of taxing the ultra-wealthy and of breaking up the ultra-large holdings. [More…]
Then the Australian Government which had been elected only 4 months ago to carry out the will of the people, had to take time off from the important affairs of business to express in the House where a motion of this sort really mattered, a motion of confidence in a man who has done a great service to the Australian community. [More…]
In his remarks Senator Drake-Brockman said that Senator Murphy had been questioned time and time again. [More…]
Now they want to drag more blood out of a man who did something which he believed had to be done to protect the life of a visiting dignitary, to protect the life of the Australian Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam), to protect the lives of Ministers of this country and indeed to protect the lives of decent Australian citizens. [More…]
Secondly, this motion is a waste of time because it treads over ground that has been covered in the Senate, to use Senator DrakeBrockman’s expression, time and time again over the last 3 weeks. [More…]
All we have heard this evening from the Leader of the Opposition (Senator Withers) and the Leader of the Australian Country Party (Senator DrakeBrockman) has been merely a recapitulation of what has gone on in the Senate over the last 3 weeks. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite have already judged this man on the evidence they have and now they want to drag more blood out of him. [More…]
They propose that a man, who considered it was his duty and who still considers it to be his duty to stamp out terrorism in this country, should undergo 3 weeks of intensive cross-examination in the Senate on his actions, then be censured by a motion of the Senate and then go through the same, process before a judicial court of inquiry which would, I assume, be asked to examine the same facts as have been investigated by the Opposition in the Senate and upon which it has already passed judgment. [More…]
How many trials must a man go through because he has taken the attitude that there are in the Australian community elements which rely on assault, extortion, violence and thuggery, which have secretive possession of dangerous and harmful weapons and explosives and which should be dealt with efficiently and quickly to protect the lives of Australian citizens, including many of those who have come to Australia from Croatia? [More…]
How many times must the Attorney-General stand up and be counted when he has shown that he is not complacent about law and order - a phrase that we heard so often from the Opposition in the time that it was in government - and who is determined to seek information which he, as a senior Minister of the Crown, is entitled to receive and which, having regard to his important and responsible position, he has a duty to acquire and then act upon? [More…]
How many times do we have to sit and watch the old autocracy of numbers being used in a desperate attempt to confuse one essential and vital issue? [More…]
I ask: How much more has a man to take? [More…]
The Opposition’s attitude is: ‘We could not be sure that a man with 4 silencers in a toy koala bear really meant to do harm to someone.’ [More…]
I can think of only one explanation for the volume of complaints which have been registered in this chamber during the past 2i weeks, and that is the old principle of human behaviour that when a man feels doubtful or guilty about his behaviour in the past his condemnation will be the loudest condemnation of others who draw his doubt and guilt to his attention. [More…]
I think honourable senators will find in one of the documents tabled by Senator Murphy that ASIO states that it has been informed that this man was killed in West Germany. [More…]
He gives evidence of the activities in Yugoslavia, particularly, surrounding the killing of a man named Nikola Raspudic which he ascribes to the people whom I have mentioned. [More…]
I have in my office another statement by a man in South Australia. [More…]
There is an example of how a man may be smeared. [More…]
In those circumstances, for the protection of human rights, to allow people to prove their innocence, and for the purpose of showing that undesirable activity is being carried out in this country by the Yugoslav secret police I believe that this inquiry ought to be held. [More…]
The burden of the adverse comment which we were making from our side of the chamber against the then AttorneyGeneral was that he was imputing guilt to a man who had merely been charged and against whom none of these charges had yet been proved. [More…]
But, more than that, Sir Garfield Barwick, who was Minister for External Affairs and also Attorney-General, curiously, if one looks at the records, wrote letters to himself with one hat to the man in the other hat, that is, as Minister for External Affairs he wrote letters to Sir Garfield Barwick as Attorney-General telling Sir Garfield Barwick as Attorney-General that he should be worried about what the Minister for External Affairs had discovered as to the danger of terrorist organisations. [More…]
I am astonished that a man like my friend Senator McManus, who is not interested in the expansion of Soviet power in the world, should be indifferent or somehow blind to the implications of a possible victory of the people to whom he feels– [More…]
I have found that the ordinary man is not concerned with the niceties. [More…]
I seriously suggest to honourable senators opposite who have been so censorious and, I think, self-righteous and very intolerant of a very tolerant AttorneyGeneral - a man who as leader of the Opposition in the Senate adopted a highly responsible and impersonal attitude towards his task and a man who since he has been in the office of Attorney-General has acted with great responsibility - that they should really examine their consciences and put themselves in his position in the week before Mr Bijedic was due to arrive in this country. [More…]
At the end of a busy day in the Senate the Attorney-General turned to the problem of whether the security for the impending visit of this man was good enough. [More…]
Was it a mistake that he was entitled to make as a man who was concerned to do his job properly? [More…]
I think the worst case that can be made against the Attorney-General is that he was over-zealous in doing his job in maintaining the security of a man whom a previous government had invited to this country. [More…]
Sir Arthur Fadden was undoubtedly a man of history, regardless of whether one agreed with his political views. [More…]
His passing was felt by many in this Parliament and throughout the community as a deep personal loss of one who was not only a man of public affairs but also a friend of the Australian people. [More…]
Sir Arthur Fadden was a man of special qualities. [More…]
In all of those times he not only exercised his political judgments but also contributed to the humanity which runs through political affairs. [More…]
Not always but on many occasions there is a need for the kind of warmth, wit and understanding which Sir Arthur Fadden exhibited, together with his vigour, his sense of good play, his zeal and his energy. [More…]
Many quotations have been made today in the House of Representatives from his numerous sayings and stories over the years. [More…]
He has passed physically but he remains amongst us as a great Australian - a man of warmth, sympathy and great political standing. [More…]
As a man he was liked and respected by members of all political parties. [More…]
Arthur Fadden was the type of Australian that Australians are proud to acclaim, a man who doggedly fought his way to the top yet remained always humble and good humoured. [More…]
They were apparent throughout his distinguished career but at no time were they more manifest than during his record 11 years as Federal Treasurer and his 18 years as Leader of the Australian Country Party. [More…]
He was a simple, friendly man. [More…]
He studied accountancy and entered into partnership as an accountant with a man,I think, named Sutton in Townsville. [More…]
He was a. very competent, conscientious and dedicated professional man in the field of accountancy and he built up a very big practice. [More…]
Artie Fadden was a human man. [More…]
I am satisfied that Artie Fadden will be judged very mercifully and with much advantage to himself for the amount of friendship that he has given to other people, particularly those in the poorer sections of the community, for the understanding that he has given to people who sought advice of a professional character from him but could not afford to pay for that advice, and for his charity to very many worthy causes, through companies in which he was interested, as well as directly from his own pocket. [More…]
In my view, he was a classic example of a- man who had. [More…]
truly a man who could mix with crowds ne’er lose his virtues and mix with kings ne’er lose the common touch. [More…]
He went through his life leaving among the people with whom he associated the memory of a happy, kindly and forthright personality; but those people were always in no doubt that he was a man of determination and integrity. [More…]
His contemporaries in Parliament who met him on committee work and in other spheres have suffered a ‘ personal loss as a result of his passing, but they will retain a continuing pleasure in having known an outstanding parliamentarian and- a gentleman. [More…]
It has been said that his parents could not afford to give him a secondary education, yet through his own efforts he rose to be the man in charge of the finances of the nation. [More…]
He was a very goodhumoured man. [More…]
To me probably the characteristic which stands out most in my mind is that Sir Arthur Fadden was a warm and human person. [More…]
It made him more human and he adopted a warm and human approach. [More…]
I believe that his name will be remembered long after the names of many of us are forgotten. [More…]
I believe that he touched our hearts and minds more than many other people who have passed through this Parliament. [More…]
On this occasion we remember the great public man that he was. [More…]
He was a wonderfully warm human being. [More…]
He was, as Senator Gair so ably mentioned, a wonderful family man. [More…]
I think that on one occasion some 80 birds were put into the lining of a man’s jacket. [More…]
I now ask: Can outside shelters be erected for the protection in adverse weather conditions of police and other guards who are required to man posts around Parliament House? [More…]
Will the Australian Government take immediate steps to have Australian officials, including competent lawyers and interpreters, visit the man Pavolovic in gaol in Yugoslavia to explore fully whether justice has been done to him and whether he can throw any light upon the circumstances surrounding the 3 executions. [More…]
Yes, it’s simple: Every man, woman and child in Australia has in their bodies radioactive material from the French tests as well as other tests. ‘ [More…]
I ask the Minister whether I may have an answer as soon as possible to this very serious inquiry because on the surface it would appear that this man has suffered a grevious wrong. [More…]
Does he know whether the information which came from moderately reliable sources is correct that the man who came to dinner at the Lodge and who was heralded and guarded in Australia as the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia is not in fact, as we know the Prime Minister, next in order of seniority to the President but in fact is approximately fourth or fifth down the line of seniority in his own country? [More…]
Do not get me wrong: I believe that in many of the internal problems that have confronted Australia Senate committees have proved to be trail blazers in providing alternatives. [More…]
Before Sukarno moved off the world stage he was a sick man and power blocs were waiting to take over. [More…]
It may be President Nixon this week but President Truman said that the buck could not be passed further. [More…]
Our man in Bangkok should be able to give us all the answers. [More…]
Some of my colleagues might at times be impatient with Lee Kwan Yew but he makes Singapore work because he has eliminated corruption as far as is humanly possible. [More…]
In the early 1950s in South Vietnam, there was a gentleman called Bao Dai who spent most of his time on the Riviera with fast oars and- [More…]
Over many years we have proposed Mr Calder to the Northern Territory. [More…]
Perhaps he is the most experienced man ever to stand for that seat. [More…]
When Sir Walter Raleigh was found guilty Chief Justice Popham, raising both hands with the deliberation of an aged man, set a black cap on his head and said: [More…]
And whereas God hath made the head of man the highest and most supreme part, as being his chief grace and ornament, he must be drawn with his head declining downward and lying so near the ground as may be, being thought unfit to take benefit of the common air. [More…]
The fact of life is that every man, woman and child in this community has radioactive material in his or her body as a result of the tests, including the French tests in the pacific, and this is causing more and more disquiet as more is learned about these problems by international scientists in the biological field and especially the genetic field. [More…]
Therefore, I now ask, inter alia: Is the man who came to dinner at the Lodge and who was heralded and guarded in Australia as the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia not, as we know the Prime. [More…]
If this information is correct, was it known to the Government prior to the man’s arrival in Australia? [More…]
Is it not extraordinary that a man with whom we are allied is not allowed into the country but 6 representatives of the enemy who are still, killing our allies are here as welcomed guests of the thing that passes in this country for a government? [More…]
This suggestion of condonation of terrorism is particularly offensive in relation to Dr Cairns ‘ because he is one man who has been renowned for his strong and consistent opposition to all forms of terrorism. [More…]
We saw Jack Devereaux whom I know more intimately than does any other honourable senator - he is the top man of the Amalgamated Engineering Union– [More…]
The greatest shock that the Opposition got was when President Nixon, the man whom they regarded as the champion of anti-communism, realised that he had to defuse the situation in South East Asia and reduce the number of fatalities among Gls. [More…]
In one instance a young man under questioning was asked: [More…]
Has any Foreign Minister or Prime Minister been so treated by any near neighbour as has Mr Whitlam, a man whom I am willing to say appears to have great stature and presentation? [More…]
I have apologised to America in the hope that it will not brand as communist minded that very big proportion of the Australian community which does not share the communist sympathy that we find emanating at present from this Labor socialist Government. [More…]
A statement was made by a man whom we are presently acknowledging to be one of the great Presidents of the United States of America, the former Commanding-General of the American Armed Forces, President Eisenhower. [More…]
By way of explanation, I refer to the Attorney-General’s statement that the police were searching for a particular man, Ivan Pavlovic - named by the Minister - who in his words ‘had threatened that he would kill the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia’. [More…]
in the talks that I have had here on this question with the French Ambassador, who is a very able and charming man, this point has been completely clear between us. [More…]
Therefore, we should be able to sit down and discuss it in a mature manner. [More…]
My question, which is directed to the Attorney-General, is supplementary to questions that I have asked of him and which he has answered relating to the man Ivan Pavlovic. [More…]
Do his answers indicate that he is willing at any time to assert the guilt of an individual citizen without first satisfying himself that he is not committing a serious libel and unwarranted attack on human liberty, his alibi apparently being that it is his advisers and not he who are uttering the libel? [More…]
The grapevine tells me that a very good senator in Senator Milliner is to be the chosen chairman of the Committee or that his name will be submitted to the Committee. [More…]
We want our man from the House of Representatives in.’ [More…]
Another was that the Committee was of the opinion that Australia must be careful not to give an indication to the less developed nations of South East Asia that it is treating Japan in a different manner from that in which it is treating them. [More…]
Our relations with other countries in South East Asia would not be improved if they thought that we were treating Japan in some very special manner and if we were to give the indication that there is in existence a rich man’s club. [More…]
After all, whatever may be ahead, whatever may be around the corner economically, I always have argued that if sacrifices have to be made or if reforms have to be introduced the man working on the open hearth at Port Kembla or in a similar job at Whyalla should have equal priority with the person with fringe benefits such as working in an air-conditioned office. [More…]
I ask the Minister for the Media (Senator Douglas McClelland) who is in charge of this Bill and who I know is a particularly thoughtful man what will be the outcome of this action which the Government has taken. [More…]
But the fact is that those people in the community who have attempted to provide for themselves - perhaps those who have retired as bank managers or others who have attempted to take some responsibility for their retirement - see their funds and their savings eroded every day. [More…]
I just reiterate that in relation to this measure the Minister is willing to stand with the best advice that the officers from the Department can give him and indicate that the Government introduced a measure into this Parliament having absolutely no idea as to what it will cost the community and no idea as to how many individuals will be involved. [More…]
One may only translate that situation into the situation of a business man setting up a business proposition which has open ended expenditure attached to it. [More…]
That is what we will say: The poor man was sick. [More…]
The doctor will say that the man will not commit a crime? [More…]
The doctor cannot say that the man will not commit a crime. [More…]
They can take as many lives as they like. [More…]
Should that man be allowed to live in prison for 8, 10, 12 or 15 years while the parents, sisters, brothers and cousins of the people who died are supporting those prisoners by paying taxes? [More…]
1 was the foreman - when a murder charge was before the court. [More…]
1 am not a man of the law, but I remember very well my experience in that court room. [More…]
The distinguished judge, when addressing the jury in his summing-up, said to us: ‘If you find this man guilty I shall pronounce the sentence of death; but I want you, when you go away to consider this matter, to remove from your minds all thought of the penalty’. [More…]
As a young man at that time, doubtless I accepted that decision as being a justifiable one. [More…]
I would use capital punishment sparingly and only in cases of treason, the murder of a policeman or a prison warder and cold blooded premeditated murder. [More…]
In Queensland a few years ago there was a case where a prison warder, who had a reputation for being a kindly, generous and tolerant man, was sitting at a desk and a prisoner, with no trace of any insanity except criminality and with no regard for the life of others, smashed down the prison warder with an iron bar. [More…]
He murdered him and robbed a woman of a husband and a large family of its father. [More…]
A man barbered one of the leading hotels in Cairns, north Queensland. [More…]
Having got this pass this man booked himself on the southern mail train equipped with an iron bar. [More…]
He killed 3 men and left the conductor of the train, who heard the disturbance, in a deplorable state for many years. [More…]
As I say, he lived in that state for many years. [More…]
The man who committed the crime jumped the train and succeeded in evading the police for some time, until he was apprehended in New South Wales masquerading as a female. [More…]
1 am hoping that the Australian Labor Party will not refuse for 5 minutes after this motion is passed to man this committee. [More…]
I have no doubt that he is the most disappointed man in this Parliament that the ship is not running and that the Federal Government is not supporting the proposition that it should run. [More…]
The Senate would be completely ill advised to deny a committee of 5 honourable senators from Tasmania the authority to inquire into this matter. [More…]
He is the proper man with whom to have communications in relation to the representatives of the Labor Party on the Committee and I received his assent. [More…]
In the time that I have been in this Senate many initiatives have come from the Labor Party to set up select committees or committees of the Senate to deal with particular matters, and on no occasion, in my experience in this chamber, has an attempt been made to take out of the bands of the Government the running of the affairs of the Parliament. [More…]
I can recall an occasion when we got to the point of proposing that a select committee of the Senate comprise 3 members from either side but conceding to the government all the while the right to have the deliberative vote and the casting vote still in the hands of the chairman of that committee, so that the running of the affairs of that committee would not have been taken out of the hands of the government. [More…]
When talking about the Government’s failure to man a committee, one could relate the very curious situation which arose - Senator Milliner will have very clear recollections of this - on the occasion when we set up the Senate Select Committee on the Canberra Abattoir. [More…]
He is indeed fortunate that security is not as strict here as it is there, because he could well have found a very gun-happy trigger man shooting him down for carrying such a stupid parcel and playing such a stupid practical trick. [More…]
Many thousands of people visit this Parliament House annually, particularly school children from the length and breadth of the nation. [More…]
I think it is wrong for a man to reflect in such a manner, even facetiously, on persons who have always been courteous to members of the Press and to all persons who enter this House on business or as members of the general public. [More…]
That is of benefit to the Commonwealth, lt is good that a man should take advantage of resources that he has on tap. [More…]
Comparisons have been made between the performances of previous governments and the present Government. [More…]
With due deference to the former Minister who was responsible for the Water Resources Council, I instance the inability to control some of the Ministerial mismanagement of his Cabinet colleagues. [More…]
I am sure that the reorganisation of the Ministry and the appointment of Mr Keppel Enderby as Minister for the Northern Territory will ensure that never again will the Finniss River be polluted in such a manner. [More…]
Senator Webster is a figures man. [More…]
If people are to live in this society they must recognise the laws of the land and recognise that they have an obligation to their fellow man. [More…]
Should it be entirely a judicial right or should it be, as to my eternal regret it has been in the final analysis in the past at federal and State levels, a political sanction in the sense that in the end it is not a final judge but politicians - the Attorney-General and the Prime Minister and his Cabinet - who make a political judgment as to whether a man shall live or die? [More…]
I believe that man’s greatest challenge in any society on earth is to reduce to the minimum human conflict. [More…]
To be a little biblical, if the last enemy is death then the second last enemy that we must conquer is human conflict - specifically, violence and lethal conflict. [More…]
I ask for leave to incorporate in Hansard a table entitled ‘Murders and Suicides, per 100.000 population, for Thirty Selected Countries’, which is taken out of the book called ‘Surviving to 3000, an Introduction to the Study of Lethal Conflict’ which was written by Roy L. Prosterman. [More…]
We are going to have to live with the man in the hood for a long time: certainly until the present generation of terrorists, the Black September men and the Provos and the rest, has expended itself in death or defeat; and very likely longer than that, until the force that drives such men, the calculation that such methods can bring them what they want, has been disproved by repeated failure, and they have no more imitators. [More…]
We study every other thing on earth (hat relates to inert materials; but we run away from studying the behaviourism of man. [More…]
Washington University and elsewhere, looking into the inherent violence of man. [More…]
Why is man aggressive? [More…]
What are the psycho-dynamic, biological and environmental influences that make one man a murderer and another man not? [More…]
In achieving an understanding of this problem not only do we solve the motive for and mitigate murder or violence but also we get to the heart of man’s greatest crime that is, war. [More…]
In other words, in the days on which the Government was saying that we were embattled and were, besieged by would-be bloody murderers - indeed, the Attorney-General asserted that a particular man had threatened Mr Bidejic - we had here on our desks a Bill designed to remove the sanction. [More…]
government of the day to set up an institute of human sciences to look at man. [More…]
inviolability of human life from foetus to natural death.’ [More…]
1 have sought not to be destructive and have sought to set out how man should look at the basic principle of violence and human conflict. [More…]
In the most horrible dilemma of man, in national and international terrorism, we have to decide between risking the safety of innocent people and letting guilty people get away. [More…]
We want to be told that in fact studies of man have been set up. [More…]
If we are going to be civilised and recognise in a free society that life is inviolable, we have to study man. [More…]
Like Konrad Lorenz in his book on aggression, we should look at man and say that if we do these kind of things they will mitigate these crimes. [More…]
Mr Acting Deputy President, if you do not mind my saying so I think that the man who goes about his work in the various callings of life assiduously and purposefully, who mixes in the social affairs of life and who sees the various facets of our life is a better judge of human behaviour than the experts. [More…]
I add that human behaviour is of such variety that it is not as susceptible to this sort of treatment as psychiatry, psychology and all the intricate isms’ of today indicate. [More…]
What difference is there between the man who commits premeditated murder, who poisons his wife, and the fellow who peddles drugs? [More…]
Take the case of a man who places a bomb on an aeroplane and commits murder. [More…]
They went in and found a woman dead. [More…]
The other one, trying to avoid the gunman, was also shot. [More…]
As a policeman in the pursuing car turned the corner, he saw the barrel of the criminal’s gun pointed at him. [More…]
Fortunately, the policeman shot first and the criminal was killed without the benefit of the judicial process or a jury and without consideration of any mercy by the Cabinet. [More…]
The policeman shot in proper self-defence. [More…]
If any man says to me that we are to deprive the ordinary citizen of his right to self-defence or the policeman of his right to self-defence in a situation like that, 1 say to him: ‘You are losing your senses’. [More…]
Then, if we take the national situation of war and the enemy attacks, as was the case in the last World War, is not it the first duty of any man in the country to defend it, even to death? [More…]
Some years ago a man whose name, I think, was Lawson raped 4 models in a park near Sydney. [More…]
This man was imprisoned again. [More…]
Am I to believe that a man such as Lawson is fit to move among human beings? [More…]
As for the reformation of such people, one can quote the celebrated case of Darcy Dugan in Sydney, a man guilty of various crimes. [More…]
There are indications that crime is increasing and there is a demand for the restoration of capital punishment. [More…]
The President of the United States has called for the restoration of capital punishment and in the United Kingdom, although the parliamentarians once again squibbed it as they so often do on issues they are afraid of - many of them are weak when it comes to grasping that nettle firmly - there is a rising demand for the restoration of capital punishment. [More…]
To give a simple example of how authority can stand up, I recall that in Toowoomba some years ago a magistrate who convicted people of driving under the influence of liquor did not impose only a fine of $20, as many of our weak magistrates do, but put them in clink for a month. [More…]
1 believe that that man evidenced in that simple way that authority gets results. [More…]
Senator Bonner went on to say: ‘The doctor will say that the man will not commit a crime?” [More…]
Senator Wood spoke about the case of a man who murdered his mother and 3 or 4 other people. [More…]
I took particular note of the fact that that man was examined by psychiatrists before being designated as harmless and released from gaol. [More…]
Not many years ago a man was convicted in Sydney for strangling and raping a girl and was sentenced to gaol. [More…]
The point I am trying to make is that a man who is past rehabilitation cannot be restored to a decent position in society. [More…]
He is the man who mentioned that Mr Li was an official. [More…]
It was his side of politics that brought this matter into the open and underlined the fact that this man was coming here and that he was an official. [More…]
Before the original statement on Croatian terrorism was made in the Senate, Senator Murphy - a man whom I respected when he was the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate - had always claimed that the Australian Labor Party stood up for the civil rights of individuals. [More…]
If ever the comment should have been made, as it was in another place, that a man should be ashamed of himself, it should have been made at that time. [More…]
It is an historical age, flowing from the theory in medieval times that a man was not fully capable of bearing arms until he was 21 and also from the magical conjunction of the numbers 7 and 3. [More…]
Australian soldiers have been successfully bearing arms in peace and war at age 18 for many years. [More…]
While I was a prisoner of war in Germany, this man was operating in Europe. [More…]
This man, capable of doing all these things, is being degraded by people who, by comparison, are underlings, not fit to clean his boots. [More…]
I am a most patient man in the Chair, as Honourable senators will have observed. [More…]
I regard it as deadly serious that he should have named in this chamber the man Ivan Pavlovic as having, on his words, threatened to kill a Prime Minister, accepting full responsibility for the statement and then abdicating it. [More…]
As the man who had the accident was an employee of the Snowy Mountains Authority, .obviously the matter is one for the Minister for Minerals and Energy. [More…]
Who is the man who raided ASIO? [More…]
Who is the man who made a statement to the Senate on alleged Croatian terrorism? [More…]
Who is the man who tabled 2,600 pages of ASIO documents - formerly secret documents - in the Senate? [More…]
Who is the man who, after the event, after he had stated these things in the Senate, and after he had produced not one charge and not one conviction, then sought to get evidence in a post facto raid, a midnight raid? [More…]
Who is the man who did this? [More…]
This is the man who says by indication to me, by waggling his index finger to me as some school master would do: ‘Not now; not when we are in government. [More…]
The fundamental question for the people of Australia to ask is: Why did a man up until 27th March of this year seek to have everything that was possible known about this Croatian affair and seek to have the most minute situation argued out before the former Attorney-General, and why from the moment when he tabled certain documents and made his speech on alleged Croatian terrorism has he rejected and resisted every form of inquiry? [More…]
The pretext for the raid was the assertion - it was an assertion and not an allegation, to make the pretext sound as though it could stick - that they were looking for a man who had threatened the life of the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia. [More…]
History, of cour.se, says that this man was those things, but a great silence fell upon the Labor Party because it conveniently wipes out of history, as did Stalin and those after him, those things in history that embarrass it. [More…]
I also remind the Senate that the ASIO documents talk of a man named Mudrinic and at least state that he was an employee of the consulate, and undoubtedly was an informer. [More…]
Now emerging from photographs allegedly taken of him in Belgrade is fairly abundant suggestion that the man may well have been a Yugoslav Government agent acting as a provoker of incidents and setting up people to dc things so that the regime could obtain a case. [More…]
Those who point inquiring fingers at me infer that this is wrong and that this man may have been guilty. [More…]
Let us start with the British principle of justice, the assumption that a man is innocent. [More…]
The man. [More…]
The statement that a man has threatened to murder the Yugoslav Prime Minister is a statement that a man has, in fact, committed a criminal offence. [More…]
If there was one man in Canberra about whom the police knew his location .and what he possessed, it was that man. [More…]
The man who invented the worthy concept of open government is the man who has brought in a closed shop in terms of the Parliament. [More…]
Secondly, and worse still, - this might not matter to those members of the Government who have sworn a singular disregard for human liberty - all those informants who have given that information at risk to their personal security are put in human jeopardy because of it. [More…]
Let us examine each of those matters, because this has been said by a man who was formerly, I believe, General Secretary of the Liberal Party in New South Wales- [More…]
If anyone should be ashamed of himself, Senator Carrick should because he is the man who is supposed to have advised the former Prime Minister. [More…]
The absurdity of the stupid little man! [More…]
Mr Barton is in New South Wales and I am in Tasmania. [More…]
The signatories include people like Ivan Kosovich of Yagoona, a man who, when it comes to racial discrimination, experienced it on the Western Australian gold fields in the 1930s. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite thought that he was not a pro-Tito man, that he was an Australian. [More…]
But if a draft resister kicked a policeman in the testicles, honourable senators opposite, including Senator Greenwood, would want him put in gaol. [More…]
But because a man is anti-communist, honourable senators opposite do not worry about him. [More…]
Senator Murphy might have expected some credence to be given to what he said if his own conduct this year had not demonstrated that he is a man whose credibility is very much suspect. [More…]
I do not think he needed to say anything of the character which he said about there being possibly some fault on his part because we know that Senator Murphy has proved to be a very difficult person to see and to reach and to have arrangements with because - this may be part of the difficulty he is facing - he is a Minister with many obligations and is required to be in many places at many times. [More…]
During the time that the senator has been in the Senate he brought the greatest discredit to himself when, in a case in Hobart, he persecuted a man, Professor Orr, into the ground. [More…]
If the Senate is to operate as a Senate it must receive co-operation from all of the leaders, and the man responsible for giving the lead is the Leader of the Government in the Senate. [More…]
Since that time, of course, honourable senators opposite have pushed Senator Drake-Brockman into doing something that normally he would not do. [More…]
We know that when in Opposition the Australian Labor Party regularly met with the then Leader of the Government in the Senate, Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson, whom we all greatly respect, and Senator Drake-Brockman. [More…]
On many occasions Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson gave in to us because he was a leader to be respected and an honest man. [More…]
Senator Drake-Brockman and others comp ain that the Government did not give them pairs. [More…]
I have so much respect for this man that I am certain he would not have done this on his own. [More…]
I have so much respect for this man and so appreciate his physical position that I will still give him a pair because I will not be responsible as Opposition Whip for seeing that this man is placed in perhaps an embarrassing situation. [More…]
I have respect for my fellow man. [More…]
Certainly in my lifetime no man has been vilified as much as Senator Murphy, not only within the Parliament but also by certain sections of the Press which have set out in devious and unscrupulous ways to undermine public confidence in the Government and in the Attorney-General. [More…]
The Democratic Labor Party, the Australian Country Party and the Liberal Party of Australia have combined for the destruction of this man who is effective as a Leader of the Government in the Senate. [More…]
At the present time he is just a vindictive, wild, rambling man, incapable of making a decent contribution in the Senate. [More…]
The man to whom we have to listen is the Chief Minister, Mr Michael Somare, and as I understand it he is not unhappy with the situation. [More…]
The Government is firmly committed to the abolition of the penal clauses - the criminal sanctions against the working man who withdraws his labour. [More…]
The Prime Minister’s mandate is precise. [More…]
The real crux of the matter is that the Australian Labor Party is not interested in the principle of one man, one vote, one value. [More…]
Is this one man, one vote, one value? [More…]
This means that in that instance more than 5 times as many electors were required, in the largest electorate, to send one man to the House of Commons as were required to elect a representative of the smallest electorate. [More…]
There were many other similar discrepancies. [More…]
In other words, more than 6 times as many voters were required in YorkScarborough as in Mapeque to send one man to Parliament. [More…]
In this Senate 10 honourable senators represent 180,000 Tasmanians. [More…]
He believes in the system under which 10 honourable senators can each receive 18,000 votes but a man who stands for Parliament and receives 200,000 votes does not obtain a seat. [More…]
He was a great Labor man. [More…]
The Anglican Bishop, Dr Cranswick, The information I had of this breach of confidence came from a man who is now dead, a man who was driven to death by the worst conspiracy that has ever happened in the history of Tasmania; a man who gave the story of an indiscretion on his way out to Tasmania on board a ship; a man who was prepared to write an open letter to the newspapers and to ask the Premier of Tasmania to have an investigation into the administration of the University of Tasmania. [More…]
He was able to bring about a complete reform of the University in Tasmania, but as a reprisal to beat this man, when he appealed against his dismissal from the University, a cooked-up dismissal, Senator Wright turned the case into a court case in which this man was degraded. [More…]
People were introduced to try to shoot this man when he answered his telephone at the window. [More…]
The phone number was dialled, the man answered the phone and a shot was fired. [More…]
Every bit of intrigue in the book that was possible was used and Senator Wright was the man who hounded this man into the grave. [More…]
Professor Orr told me that the only man who knew of his indiscretion on the ship was the reverend Bishop of Tasmania, who I mistakenly referred to as Dr Young. [More…]
He is well known as a man who has this ability to bluff and to stand over. [More…]
He is well known as a man who taught law at the university and many of his students have given him away. [More…]
He is well known as having lost his status in Tasmania when they kicked him upstairs to the Senate to get rid of him out of the State Parliament. [More…]
He is well known as a man who is now grandstanding to try to exploit the King Island misfortune so that he can get a few votes for preselection. [More…]
I conclude by saying that if Senator Wright had not introduced the other night this matter of dishonour and honour against a very honourable man in part of his vendetta in association with his legal friend - both nostalgic and piqued - and had it not been for the fact that they misused their time as Ministers of Her Majesty’s Government and are now rightly in the Opposition, I would not have raised this matter. [More…]
I am not a technical man in this regard, but my technical advisers assure me that, after giving the matter very great and detailed consideration, the overall national interest of the country so far as frequencies are concerned would be best served by ensuring that frequency modulation is introduced in the ultra-high frequency band. [More…]
It was there during the time of the massive changes which a man named Arthur Calwell brought about and which led to an alteration of this chamber. [More…]
In the electorate of Kelvingrove in the United Kingdom it took 6,106 votes to elect a Labor man. [More…]
We also have a preferential system of voting which enables the person who votes to have a second or a third choice which is taken into consideration if his man does not get enough primary votes. [More…]
It is a simple Bill and, being a simple man, I find ease in supporting .. it. [More…]
Senators, without any regard to that fact, talk about one man one vote under conditions in which the metropolitan area of Sydney alone elects as many members of the House of Representatives as do the States of South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania combined. [More…]
I wish to say a word or two about this fetish of one man one vote in this country where most of the people are herded into the cities. [More…]
It was rumoured, it was reported and it was said in this place that the fairest way in which to perfect this one man one vote principle was to divide electorates so that they were commensurate with their populations. [More…]
Most of the speeches were sanctimonious speeches about a sacred principle that is enshrined in the platform of the Australian Labor Party, that is, the principle of one man one vote one value. [More…]
On this basis we could end up with equal populations in electorates but with 40,000 voters in one electorate and 60,000 voters in another, ls this one man one vote one value? [More…]
Senator Carrick has been referred to as the man who led the previous Prime Minister to defeat. [More…]
I understand that one man in this country who is absolutely unaffected by any political considerations is the Chief Electoral Officer. [More…]
One man’s vote must be worth the same as another’s. [More…]
I can recall one prominent businessman being proud of the fact that he poured $50,000 into the Labor Party’s election campaign fund. [More…]
That gentleman climbed to the top of the Great Wall of China the other day, beating Dr J. F. Cairns by a few lengths. [More…]
The strength of that man’s vote cannot be compared with the strength of the vote of some individual in the pensioner class or in the less fortunate class in our community. [More…]
He said that Tasmania had a proportional representation system called the Hare-Clark system. [More…]
As a Tasmanian I adopt anything Tasmanian.’ [More…]
The weirdness of this reference was to suggest that proportional representation gave no opportunity for a gerrymander by drawing the lines for electoral divisions. [More…]
In Tasmania there are electoral divisions and 7 members are elected from each of them. [More…]
One has only to put a division around a nice industrial corner and one can ensure the fourth quota with much less effort than one can in a straight out single electorate where one has to get a real man into office and where he has to recommend himself not as one of 4 or 7 but as himself to command preferences. [More…]
I think that proportional representation was a rather unfortunate viewpoint for the honourable Tasmanian Minister to advance as a guide to the Government. [More…]
But the point which was made by Senator Wriedt does not do credit to anybody who has studied the Tasmanian system in more detail than in a glance at the page. [More…]
I think that a statement such as that indicates the vanity and the arrogance of the man. [More…]
He treats the people who ask these questions in the most contemptible manner. [More…]
However, the conceit and arrogance of the man are such that in Victoria he said that he hoped that a strong Labor vote in Victoria on Saturday would give Opposition senators the warning they need. [More…]
What really counts with a man, whether he is the Prime Minister, a senator, a member of the House of Representatives or anything else, is the quality and the character of the man. [More…]
So much so that a pressman of the Murdoch Press has been seconded to and is more or less associated with his office for the purpose of obtaining informa tion about one of his Ministers, and that is the Attorney-General. [More…]
This man is going round trying to find out about the private life of the Attorney-General, Senator Murphy, and about his business dealings. [More…]
That is the type of man who gets up and publicly criticises honourable senators. [More…]
Senator Cant, who has just resumed his seat, is recognised by honourable senators on this side of the chamber and by honourable senators in his own Party as being a man who has had a good deal to do with the industry under discussion. [More…]
There was a gentleman - I mention him only because he has been mentioned before in this Senate - called Zdenko Marincic who, I have stated, must be assumed to be a person who went overseas and who either was gullible or was prepared to engage in violent activities overseas. [More…]
This man was the subject of some questioning last year as to whether he should be deported. [More…]
The record is available to show that 1 took the view that this man should not be deported because he had not been guilty of any act of violence in this country, that if he were to be deported because of the offence which he had committed not only would he be subjected to a double penalty but also he would be sent back to Yugoslavia to a communist totalitarian government which has proved beyond question that not only will it mislead governments which have dealings with it but also it will execute in secret persons whom it has led other governments to believe have already been killed in the course of an armed invasion. [More…]
I said in regard to this man Marincic that there is a paramount obligation in the type of society in which we live always to err - if erring it is - in favour of individual liberty and individual rights and not in favour of the public interest of some totalitarian country. [More…]
When 1 looked .it some of the documents that Senator McManus tabled in the Senate there was a recurring theme among a number of people concerned who were crying out for justice and questioning quite mistakenly the attitude of the present Government. [More…]
I am in no way a jingoistic person but I think thai a man like that falls into that category of people who are using this country only as a sort of staging house from which to indulge in some of their marauding expeditions in Eastern Europe. [More…]
Simply because this man subscribed to a variety of papers from the far left and to the far right in Europe, he was denied citizenship. [More…]
Since we are all baring our souls here tonight I shall tell this interesting story because it concerns the gentleman who is now Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party in the other place, Mr Lynch. [More…]
Being a simple man, 1 said to the Minister: ‘This is the Spanish applicant. [More…]
Getting back to this Spanish gentleman, he was with me in the Minister’s office. [More…]
Is it a fact that recruiting advertisements for the’ Royal Australian Navy imply that training’ received in the Navy will equip a man to take, up specialised work ashore in line with the training received? [More…]
It is one of those very important diplomatic steps that have to be taken in view of not only the dramatic improvement in the technique of drilling off-shore in waters which previously were unavailable to man but also the settling once and for all of an area which could have led to tension between 2 neighbouring countries. [More…]
One senator the late General George Rankin, a man of great courage and integrity, did not take any notice of this carping attitude of his colleagues. [More…]
But the availability of energy - the great friend of man - could be the trigger for this development. [More…]
When I listened to the chieftain of the Australian Gas Light Co., Sir William Pettingell, I thought it remarkable that that gentleman did not care 2 hoots about job opportunities for the work force of BHP. [More…]
This problem arises when the main man in a vast private enterprise complex can regard himself as what might be called a de facto Prime Minister. [More…]
A man who 1 think could hardly be called a socialist in the person of Sir Robert Askin had to concede privately, in his own inimical style, that they wanted the bloody lot. [More…]
Contracts have been let to both Australian and Japanese manufacturers to supply the pipes. [More…]
I appreciate that this is only a report of an extra $20m, but I understand that it is a report of a statement from Sir William Pettingell who is a very responsible man. [More…]
There was one man whose position gave him unique power to achieve these changes and I here gratefully acknowledge - as everybody with the welfare of the world at heart must - the pivotal role played by President Nixon in ushering in a new and saner phase in our relations with China; in clearing the way for more intensive commercial, scientific, technical and cultural exchanges between the United States and’ the Soviet Union, and thereby achieving a successful first round of the Strategic Arms Limitation Talks and in ending foreign intervention in Vietnam. [More…]
Mr Milte is a man of considerable qualification. [More…]
The man who retails them - the man who takes them from the smaller company - is forbidden to increase his prices perhaps for 3 months. [More…]
This means that the big man will not purchase from the smaller man until a determination is made about the price he can charge for the increased cost of that article from the smaller man. [More…]
So there is a direct impost of hardship on the small manufacturer. [More…]
This will not assist the small businessman; it will hurt him greatly. [More…]
It will cause a fantastic amount of concern and book work for the big organisations, and possibly they will defer handling certain articles while the little businessman bears the whole brunt of the matter at the beginning. [More…]
There is no doubt that someone in the Department of Health is a very good public relations man and that he is feeding the. [More…]
1 know that he is making a lot of money, but so are many other people. [More…]
Nevertheless there are some doctors with humanitarian principles. [More…]
People can afford to have their couple of cans of beer; they can afford to have a man come in to repair a television set. [More…]
It must be borne in mind that today a family, which includes a man, his wife and dependent children, is covered by one annual payment of something like $110, which is reduced to $80 or $75 a year once it is claimed as a tax deduction. [More…]
As with widows pensions, the supporting mother’s benefit will not be payable if the women return to live with their husbands or if they are living with any man on a de facto basis. [More…]
The Tribunal may be one man but I think that that sort of thing has to go back to the Chairman. [More…]
A collection of Spanish coins, being pieces of eight, pieces of four and pieces of two and valued at about $50,000, recovered from the wreck of the Dutch ship the ‘Gilt Dragon’ which foundered on a reef 3 miles off the Western Australian coast in 1656, has been handed over by the Western Australian Government to the man who claims to have found the coins. [More…]
This was done in settlement of an action in which the Western Australian Museum sought to obtain possession of the coins from this gentleman but had difficulty in establishing a title. [More…]
As a result of a question which Senator Greenwood asked me last night I asked Mr Zvogbo whether he had been in gaol, how many dmes he had been in gaol and all about the matter. [More…]
Last night when I said that there was no proof of this man being a terrorist, or words to that effect, Senator Greenwood interjected and said that this man had been in gaol. [More…]
Mr Hamer is a man who has learnt some of the lessons of today. [More…]
I refer to Mr Snedden, the man who was humiliated by Senator Withers. [More…]
If honourable senators opposite want to back their man against ours they are even rasher gamblers than those who gave Mr McMahon, the late lamented Leader, a chance against Mr Whitlam. [More…]
It seems to me to be a remarkable admission that the Labor Party had the wrong man presenting its policies in Victoria. [More…]
I yield to no man in my admiration of the intelligence, the acumen and the ability of the Post Office engineers. [More…]
There is very little difference between the Ministry today and the Whitlam 2-man government of the early weeks of December. [More…]
There has been no explanation why one man, the Prime Minister should be a parttime Prime Minister and a part-time Foreign Minister. [More…]
No wonder that the Washington contretemps occurred, when we say that we regard the foreign affairs policy of Australia as only the part-time duty of a man who ought to be full-time Prime Minister. [More…]
How can an embattled man, the nonDefence Minister - I think his statement showed him to be a person who is dismantling defences - look after the Army, Navy, Air Force, Defence, Supply and the Deputy Prime Minister’s job on 2 engines? [More…]
They are reflections produced by the new lake which has been constructed by man for the purpose of producing electricity for warmth and power in Tasmania. [More…]
I think that the hydro-electric development there is a magnificent project showing how, by prudent management, man can improve the environment, greatly enhance the human enjoyment of the area and contribute to the quality of life in an unsurpassed manner. [More…]
British Motor Corporation and of other motor manufacturers. [More…]
1 look at a man of about 28 years of age and think whether he will be wanted in 10 years time. [More…]
If we accept the concept that people should become permanent citizens - and each of the various governments has done this - we have an added obligation to ensure that there is permanency in employment. [More…]
But the ordinary man in the street receives nothing. [More…]
Before every meal - as I said, there are far too many of them - passengers are served with a choice of champagne or beer. [More…]
I happened to be next to a man at the Customs desk at the airport. [More…]
The Customs man said OK. [More…]
With the environmental consciousness of the people today we must get a system for justifying our advances on every occasion when man destroys the natural environment of some description. [More…]
Dr Coombs is a special adviser to the present Prime Minister, as he was a special adviser to the previous Prime Minister, appointed by that right honourable gentleman. [More…]
Dr Coombs was Chairman of the Australian Council for the Arts under the previous administration. [More…]
He is Chairman of the Australian Council for the Arts under this Administration. [More…]
With great respect to Senator Carrick, I thought it was a little unfair of him to single out a man of the credibility, of the capacity and of the sincerity of Dr Coombs. [More…]
He is an eminent Australian, a man with a great social awareness, an outstanding economist and a former Chairman of the Reserve Bank of Australia. [More…]
I am delighted that selectioin has been made of Mr Jim Donald, the former managing director of Marfleet & Weight Ltd. [More…]
I think he was president of the Heavy Engineering Manufacturers Association. [More…]
In my view he is the ideal man for the job. [More…]
I am seeking assurances about the terms of the contract, the terms of the guarantee, and the arrangement by which the Commonwealth can look to legal performance of the contract. [More…]
That is stupid and against the interests of the small man, but the Labor Party has included this in the Housing Agreement. [More…]
The amendment shows that the DLP has not lost sight of the needs of the small man. [More…]
The most difficult family to house is a married man on a tow income with a large family . [More…]
He is the man to whom we are seeking to give some protection. [More…]
Those who cannot purchase homes, those who have not the deposit to purchase a home, the family man on a low income with a large family, are among those 93,000 seeking homes. [More…]
That is the way in which the Labor Party helps the little man, the man on a low income. [More…]
It would take more than the eloquence of Senator Cavanagh to convince me or anybody else that that is helping the man on low income.. [More…]
I remind honourable senators that I am quoting the words of a Labor Minister, a man with the responsibility on the spot. [More…]
I am interested to hear how Senator Cavanagh will explain away what his colleague in Western Australia has said, a man I find is persuasive as any dedicated Liberal. [More…]
I have challenged him before and I challenge him again: What answer is to be given to the person who says, ‘I am in a Housing Commission house, I am happy to be in it and I would like to buy it, but you, the Labor Party, have said that I cannot buy it because too many others have already bought their homes and I will have to continue paying rental.’? [More…]
I am talking about the man who wants to buy his own home. [More…]
That policy should not surprise anybody as I have said it at least 100 times in this place and it has been expressed by every Labor man who has sat here. [More…]
We also said that we would get away from the racist tag which had been dogging Australia for so many years. [More…]
It should be realised that it takes 2 years before a young man becomes a proficient first officer on modern jet airliners, such are the standards required of him in Australia. [More…]
Before he is proficient to command a modern jet airliner he is required to have 8 to 10 years experience as a first officer. [More…]
So, if one does one’s arithmetic, one will see that in the next 5 years the oldest of them will be reaching the retirement age of 60 and many more of 54 or 55 years of age will be, for various reasons, leaving the industry. [More…]
It was never intended at the outset for high public servants in civilian offices, where the risks are minimal as compared with those of a man out on a building construction job or working on hydro-electricity lines, or telephone lines, or anyone of that sort. [More…]
There is in this country a medical man who lost both eyes in Vietnam. [More…]
He is paid $55 a week if he is entitled to all the allowances, yet the Government reckons the average medical man in his practice is worth $30,000 a year. [More…]
If any man who is capable of being employed in the higher salaries is wounded and killed, his widow now would enjoy a widow pension under the Repatriation Act of, I think, $31 plus allowances that bring it up to about $45 a week. [More…]
The French officials have in their Part ‘B’ sought to demonstrate that French atmospheric nuclear weapon tests in the Pacific are without hazard by invoking dose limits recommended by the International Commission on Radiological Protection (the ICRP), by arguing that the radiation doses from those tests are small compared with those from other man-made sources of ionizing radiation and by comparing those doses with those inevitably received by populations from natural background radiation. [More…]
It is explicit in the recommendations of ICRP with respect to dose limits, that national authorities in the country whose population is exposed to controllable man-made sources of ionizing radiation should make a conscious decision between the radiation risk of the practice and the benefits, social or economic, which accrue from the practice. [More…]
In making this decision, the National Health and Medical Research Council explicitly accepted these dose limits for application with respect to practices within Australia involving the use of controllable sources of man-made ionizing radiation and with respect to critical groups of its population exposed to ionizing radiation from a particular practice. [More…]
It is the contention of the Australian Government that it alone has the right of regulating sources of man-made ionizing radiation within its territories having regard for its assessment of a balance between the benefits and risks to its people. [More…]
The French Government, in seeking to find reassurance for its radio-active contamination of man and his environment, in the dose limits for critical groups of the public recommended by ICRP, might also have noted the following comment in the same publication. [More…]
On the assumption that the risk of radiation injury is directly proportional to accumulated dose, it follows that exposure from natural background carries a probability of causing some somatic or hereditary injury, which would be present even without the addition of man-made exposure. [More…]
Thus, provided there is no synergistic effect between irradiation and other factors, the total risk of injury will be the sum of “the risk from irradiation (from either natural or- man-made sources) plus the risks resulting from environmental and other cause. [More…]
The total radiation scene for the Australian population involves natural background radiation, it involves man-made sources of radiation which have direct benefit to the Australian population. [More…]
As set out in paragraph 51 of the Request, Australia through regulations and through codes of practice can, and does, exercise control over man-made sources of ionizing radiation from which its population derives benefit. [More…]
What steps can be taken to ensure that censorship of television programs is not left in the hands of one man as this surely would nullify the attempts by the Minister to have a freer exchange of news and comments? [More…]
1 repeat that we of the Opposition do not wish to delay the implementation of many of the provisions of this Bill which we see as highly desirable. [More…]
Consider the case of a man who is on the national average wage or slightly above and who suddenly, after 6 months, finds himself back on a limit of $64. [More…]
We should view this amending legislation in conjunction with many other reforms in the immigration (field. [More…]
It is said that man does not live by bread alone. [More…]
The current immigration legislation will do to the Queen, metaphorically speaking, what that man did to Charles I. [More…]
This Bill is a socialist attempt to downgrade the monarchy in the eyes of all our migrants and to do what that anti-constitutional Commonwealth man Cromwell did some hundreds of years ago. [More…]
Sir Leslie Melville, who is the Chairman of the Grants Commission at present, has been a very great Australian and has performed notable work in this - field/ Mr Lane, who assists Sir Leslie on the Commission, comes from Brisbane. [More…]
Sir John Goodsell, a notable New South Wales public servant and a man with great knowledge and ability, contributes considerably to the Commission as its third member. [More…]
Will the Attorney-General confirm or deny that Mr Ivan Mudrinic relaxing in freedom in Belgrade is the same man who was prosecuted in connection with the Warburton dynamite conspiracy case as referred to by him and Senator Greenwood and who was alleged to be a Croatian terrorist. [More…]
Clostridium botalinum, can produce the most poisonous substance known to man. [More…]
At the same time a way must be found so that the rights of the ordinary person, the man in the street, are given complete protection. [More…]
It has become only too obvious to me that the effect of defamation legislation in many instances has been to prevent newspapers and the media generally from revealing abuses such as fraud and malpractice in business. [More…]
This is the one man who is able initially to put these things into operation. [More…]
Today the claimant States have direct access to the Grants Commission. [More…]
On the contrary, they will have to pass a series of tests laid down by one man, the Federal Minister. [More…]
The whole basis of the Labor Government’s policy for the dismantling of local government is to force local government out of its 900 bodies into 3 dozen or 4 dozen regions over which it can use the money power to direct policies. [More…]
It cannot be presumed that, however wise the Grants Commission might be or however intelligent and experienced a man such as Sir Leslie Melville might be, a central body sitting in Canberra could know every kerb and gutter, every piece of paspalum grass, every need for a local recreation area and every need for a baby health centre or library in Australia. [More…]
This Bill is an instrument for the carrying out of the socialisation platform of the Australian Labor Party, for the bypassing and dismantling of the States, for the massive amalgamation of the municipal and shire councils and for the achievement of Mr Whitlam’s goal of some 12 city assemblies and some 2 score regional Assemblies in Australia. [More…]
The main problem on Thursday Island is the water supply and the main problem in the Cook Shire is the lack of a road right up to the Peninsula to provide access for as many as 10,000 or 12,000 Australians who have no access by road to the rest of Australia. [More…]
One can imagine the plight of a man who wants to take his wife and family on annual leave when it costs $57 for each of them to get only as far as Cairns. [More…]
How many local governing bodies are there at present in Australia? [More…]
The Commission would have to set out on this discursive process, I would think destructive of any man’s wit, to compare the finance necessary to enable each of those bodies to function at standards not appreciably below the others. [More…]
Later it was a Liberal Government which endeavoured to solve problems on the waterfront by instituting a system of permanent employment. [More…]
Permanent employment has proved terrifically expensive and completely fruitless from the point of view of getting effective labour on the waterfront. [More…]
When the original scheme was introduced in 1956 a levy of 5c per man-hour was imposed on waterside labour. [More…]
Today the law imposes a levy of $1 for every man-hour of waterside labour performed on the waterfront. [More…]
The first Bill we are dealing with provides that the levy be increased from $1 to $1.50, so that one man working on the waterfront for 8 hours in one day costs the country, by means of this levy, $12 for one day. [More…]
At permanent ports the average weekly hours worked throughout the year 1969-70 were 37.4. [More…]
At the same time, average weekly earnings at permanent ports increased. [More…]
The $8.2m paid for idle time, on the waterfront represents a charge of $14.31 per man per week throughout the year. [More…]
This cost has a considerable impact upon a primary producing industry, such as that of fresh apples and pears, which is important to Tasmania which is struggling for its existence against all costs. [More…]
It is with a great sense of grudge that I speak to allow this sort of organisation to operate for another year, as the second Bill provides, and to increase the levy from $1 per man-hour to $1.50 per manhour to create a fund which is being used so wastefully. [More…]
In spite of increases in wage rates, average weekly gross earnings per man at permanent ports rose only 86c to $92.71, compared with $91.85 in 1970-71. [More…]
At non-permanent ports, average earnings (excluding those of waterside workers employed on weekly hiring) decreased by $4.55 from $71.96 to $67.41. [More…]
It is disgraceful that a man who professes to stand for individual rights should, by the use of numbers, arbitrarily seek to curtail the individual’s right to speak in Parliament. [More…]
A man who is criticised by one may have terrific persuasion with another. [More…]
One does not have to go to the library and extract the books and read the accounts of the suffering and hardship caused by strikes that lasted for many months in the shearers’ and seamen’s fields in the 1890s to understand why unionists and the. [More…]
Of course, Mr Glasbeck is a man to whom Mr Clyde Cameron is much indebted. [More…]
I suppose that any fair minded person would concede that the man in Australia who is in the best position to pass an opinion on the efficacy of the penal provisions is the man who presided over the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission for the last 20 years or more. [More…]
law that the ordinary man does not have. [More…]
It is real money even in the language of the Labor Party whose coffers are so copiously refreshed by adequate contributions from 4KQ and many other capitalist organisations . [More…]
I do not think that any fair, unbiased observer could fail to agree that the conciliation and arbitration system and the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Court in this country have brought undoubted benefits to the working man and also to the community as a whole. [More…]
In those circumstances it would seem to me to be the barest elementary justice that such a man should have his costs borne by his union provided it is not a frivolous attack. [More…]
As this working man’s livelihood is adversely affected by this allegation, will the Minister check it and if it is found to be incorrect make a withdrawal before the Senate rises, as this course would seem to be the only one consonant with honour and justice? [More…]
The Government is endeavouring in a number of ways to overcome the injustices which have existed since the white man came to this territory. [More…]
- I suppose this is a principle which could be carried through the law in many ways. [More…]
The Aborigines will then be able to protest with the dignity with which their forefathers roamed this nation before the coming of the white man. [More…]
I believe that it is rather much for one man to do all this, particularly in the growing field of savings in the life insurance field because life insurance is substantially a method of accumulating the savings of people over long terms. [More…]
I suppose that that figures in a sense because this Government has no genuine interest in rural affairs or in the man on the land for the simple reason that it is unable to win any seats which are truly rural seats. [More…]
It is manifest to me that this work requires a longer period of time than probably is available to me as an individual. [More…]
I felt therefore that it was proper that I should resign and make way for a younger man. [More…]
That is the reason why I felt it proper that at my age I should retire and make way for a younger man. [More…]
I cite the example of a man, since dead, who was President of the Senate for not less than 8 years. [More…]
In 1967 the people showed in a very decisive manner that they recognise, realise and appreciate fully the necessity to have a responsible Senate, a Senate made up of men who will have regard to the welfare of the States they represent, men who will act judiciously, honestly and responsibly in the decisions that they make on the issues which come before the Senate. [More…]
He, a man who has been elected democratically by the people and by his Party as its leader, has been reduced to nothing. [More…]
Senator Cotton is in effect asking the Committee to differentiate between a person who has 3 weeks annual leave, who has a wife and children and who has amenities in his home that he has to pay for, and another man who has 4 weeks annual leave. [More…]
The Committee is to be asked to say what effect would follow the granting of an additional week’s leave, to the man who has 3 weeks annual leave. [More…]
The Government believes that the ordinary man in the community should get some benefit from the technological advances in the sophisticated society in which we live. [More…]
The Government does not believe that it is the prerogative of the profiteer to skim all the cream off the improvements brought about by the work of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and the unselfish men in laboratories throughout the world who devote their lives to trying to lift the burden from the shoulders of the human beings inhabiting the earth. [More…]
We were able to reflect upon the battle we had to achieve those conditions and we looked to the future for the emancipation of our fellow man. [More…]
It is only a matter of how long one has to keep a man employed to make a profit from him. [More…]
We look to a society in which the purpose of work is to achieve a higher level of man’s estate and in which he will have time, if he has had proper education, to appreciate his leisure hours and work will be only a means to an end. [More…]
They believe that man is a horse and that one only has to put him in a collar to make him work. [More…]
A horse is better off than man. [More…]
A horse has to be fed when he is turned out whereas a man can simply be turned out, and if there is no alternative he could starve. [More…]
Except that he has certain rights, man could starve for all the profiteers care about him. [More…]
In this particular case the industry gained a shorter working week as a result of across the table consultation and the industry saved in shipping costs and freight handling costs many thousands of dollars. [More…]
Anyone who travels through factories, as I have done throughout the world, knows that almost daily new machines are being installed and new processes established which reduce the time that a man must work on a machine. [More…]
Also there is an acceptance of the machine to do the work of man. [More…]
The amendment which I shall present is one which sets out to provide that unmarried male and female contributors to the Defence Forces Retirement Benefits Fund would have some entitlements to pass on in succession to a surviving mother, brother, sister or child, particularly if dependent, in the same way as can a married man in the Services in relation to his surviving widow and children. [More…]
A serviceman who is injured and receives Commonwealth employees compensation, would have his compensation reduced by the amount of his DFRB entitlement. [More…]
The fact is that a man can receive a war pension and, in addition, he can receive a DFRB pension. [More…]
The ‘Straitsman* was built with a dead weight of 750 tons. [More…]
So the colleagues of the Government whom I am addressing - the members of the Tasmanian Shipping Commission - first go away from here a month ago and they are to buy a ship from Europe. [More…]
They go away from here a fortnight ago and they are to buy an old hulk up in Cairns that is 28 years old, an E class ship which the shippers in Tasmania said they would not put their cargo in. [More…]
The union would not man her. [More…]
She is manned by a non-union crew. [More…]
Even the small man who has entered into a partnership, usually on a 50-50 basis, will now find that he is discriminated against by this taxation measure. [More…]
A man who condemned the State Labor Government and pointed to what the area got out of the McMahon Government was rejected by the people in the area involved. [More…]
Arthur Calwell’s opponents, including those throughout the Labor movement as well as those outside- at no time was he short of opponents because that was the nature of the man and his vigorous political life- always acknowledged his enthusiasm for his causes and the forthrightness of his approach. [More…]
His style and manner demanded a response even from critics and antagonists as well as from his supporters. [More…]
It could be said that this uncompromising man never really failed to speak his mind or hesitate even to make enemies when he thought it necessary. [More…]
He has been described as an eloquent rabble rouser of the old style, as a candidate of fascinating contradictions, as hard as granite, as a champion of free speech but intolerant of criticism, as a scholar and a dreamer, as a man of the people and a vengeful political infighter. [More…]
In this and many other endeavoursthere are too many to retail to the Senate nowArthur Calwell lived a full and useful life. [More…]
Perhaps the measure of his success not only as a national figure but also as a man is that he has been so well loved by his family- that was evident- and also by those in politics and by the country at large for the great things he did, whether successful or unsuccessful, and for the efforts which he made. [More…]
Arthur Calwell was a man of great ability. [More…]
He was always not only a politician but also a scholar of note and a deeply religious man. [More…]
As a politician, Arthur Calwell left a more enduring mark on Australian history than many politicians can claim. [More…]
He was the architect of Australia’s postwar immigration program, a program which brought many thousands of Europeans into Australia following the war a program which has enriched our culture and influenced the very fabric of our lives. [More…]
Arthur Calwell was a man who held very strong beliefs and ideals. [More…]
As a mark of his scholarship, one recalls that in 1 960 he surprised many by welcoming the new Chinese Ambassador for Taiwan fluently in his own tongue. [More…]
For some years he had been quietly learning Mandarin. [More…]
He was a deeply religious man and was honoured in 1964 when the Pope conferred on him a papal knighthood. [More…]
Whatever else can be said about him, Arthur Calwell was a man of deep and easily stirred emotions and no-one could deny that to the end he remained a fervent and very great Australian. [More…]
I understood that, as a deeply religious man, he wanted to leave this world with malice towards none. [More…]
Arthur Calwell was, I believe, a man of great principle and was held in high esteem by has friends and political opponents alike. [More…]
In private life he had many good and close friends. [More…]
He was a speaker who always commanded attention, generally because he had something worth saying to which people were ready to listen. [More…]
Arthur Calwell was the type of man that one comes across very rarely. [More…]
When a man dies and his friends weep, That is life and death in their order, But when a man dies and his enemies weep, That is greatness crossing the border. [More…]
When a man dies and the dark cathedral Quivers to Bach, high mass and the singing of angels, Then is a great man rewarded For the sorrow, the rage and the anguish of the crusader. [More…]
When a man dies and his friends say He was a mate was Arthur’ Labor to the soul, a fighting chief To the men who will come after. [More…]
I can remember the great courage of this man in 1966 when all was lost for the Australian Labor Party because he stood on a principle. [More…]
I was proud, as were many of us, to march with Arthur Calwell through the streets of Canberra, Melbourne and Sydney for the things in which he believed. [More…]
He was a wonderful Australian who believed in putting before the Australian people the things that mattered as far as humans were concerned. [More…]
I am sure that my colleagues from Victoria share my view that in Arthur Calwell we lost a great man of courage. [More…]
I remember him- it was during the latter period of his service in this Parliament- as a kindly and generous man. [More…]
He was a gentleman in every sense of the word. [More…]
He was the kind of man whom it would be very difficult for anyone to fight. [More…]
I too have carried with me the memories of a kindly man. [More…]
Sir Walter Cooper was an Englishman who received his early education at a school in Leicester. [More…]
Twelve months later- to show the fighting spirit of this man- he joined the 30th Training Squadron of the Australian Flying Corps and later served in France and Germany. [More…]
The things which have been adverted to by previous speakers as being the things he did in his life are a very accurate reflection of the many facets of his character. [More…]
He was a man of great personal courage. [More…]
He was a man of deep sincerity. [More…]
He was a man of very wide solicitude for those who lacked the things in life that he wanted all people to have. [More…]
For that and his other qualities he commanded, as he deserved, the respect, regard and, shall we say, the deep affection of all those who came to know him. [More…]
He had a way of answering parliamentary questions in a most compendious manner, as some honourable senators who sit in this place will recall, which could occupy a great deal of question time. [More…]
In that time he became widely admired as a man of charm and openness. [More…]
The death of such a promising young family man at the age of 43 is saddening. [More…]
A grazier, he was very active in trying to get a better deal for the country man. [More…]
It was a tragedy that a man who had the potential to offer so much to this country should have had his life cut short in such a tragic way. [More…]
Well, if he was a man of honour, if he was a man of principle, he would have resigned. [More…]
If he was a man of principle, he would have resigned. [More…]
I draw the attention of the Senate and of the people of Australia to a statement made by the spokesman for education and now the Minister for Education (Mr Beazley) not 5 months but 13 days before polling day. [More…]
This was a man whose words should have been taken and who should have been pledged to implement his words when in office. [More…]
It does little credit to Senator McLaren, who would himself claim to be a man of honour, that he is prepared to defend dishonesty and to defend the breaking of a pledge freely given by the Prime Minister and the Minister for Education when they were chasing votes in order for their Party to become the Government. [More…]
Mr Whitlam’s attention was drawn in my presence to the example of a man who sends his child to Melbourne Boys High School and another man in receipt of the same income who sends his child to Melbourne Grammer School. [More…]
If there is anything for which the Labor Party can be commended in relation to its performance up to this present time it is in the field of education. [More…]
We have said for years and years: ‘Give us the opportunity to do something for all the people in this country - not the silvertails, not the privileged few at the top of the list but for every man, woman and child in the Australian community’. [More…]
Its pupils are supported by the average working man and woman. [More…]
It is the lot of few men to be given sufficient self-reliance to be able to be selfsufficient unto themselves and not to welcome and cherish the friendships of their colleagues and the common man. [More…]
It is a tragedy for Australia, and sickening when you think of it, that all this hard work over the years has been cast aside by the arrogance of a man who believes that his command of words is more important than the maintenance of close and friendly relations with these countries. [More…]
The final comment is the throw-away line which quite deliberately Mr Whitlam ascribed Mr Lee Kuan Yew on the same David Frost television performance when he made Australia’s affairs, from our security organisation to our international relationships, a matter of vaudeville because he said - think of the import of the accusation - that Mr Lee, the Prime Minister of Singapore, becomes more and more like Cromwell. [More…]
To anyone with Mr Whitlam’s knowledge of history can there be a more dastardly accusation than to liken Mr Lee to a man who is proscribed in our history as the great regicide and the man who was responsible for massacres throughout the British Isles? [More…]
In this same vaudeville television performance Mr Whitlam said that he was referring to Mr Heath in those terms only in regard to the French nuclear tests. [More…]
I imagine that it was the same attitude as was found by the Prime Minister when he went to Mexico, and as he finds when he goes to many countries, namely, that if you are objecting to atmospheric nuclear testing - that is a sound and proper basis for all persons thinking of the future of mankind in this world to have as the ground of their objection - you do not single out one country and ignore another in the type of objection you are making. [More…]
If that makes Mr Heath a consistently and forthrightly negative man, because he says that you should adopt that general attitude, then I am sure that Mr Heath will find many colleagues among responsible people throughout the world. [More…]
I leave aside his statements as to his own abilities in so many fields because we, on the Opposition side, recognise that he is an able man. [More…]
Why is it that these attacks are being made on a man who has done his utmost to rectify the errors that had been made over 2 decades and which in the last decade had brought Australia into discredit and disgrace and had made the Australian people ashamed of their foreign policy? [More…]
What a wonderful situation it is that the man and the Government who inveigh against America and its people the whole time should have unctuously started his speech to the National Press Club in Washington with these words: [More…]
This is the man who is supposed to have established good relations with America. [More…]
The Attorney-General more than any other man withheld from this Parliament, until we dragged them out of him, fact after valuable fact on nuclear and atomic tests. [More…]
The simple fact is that if this Government were, like the Opposition, sincere in believing that atomic testing is damaging to humanity wherever it occurs, it would realise quite clearly that tens of millions - nay, hundreds of millions - of Chinese near Lop Nor in the Sinkiang Province and the Chinese and Russians around them are in numbers far more greatly subjected to danger to their lives than those said to be affected by the Mururoa Atoll tests. [More…]
We have Mr Whitlam making a broadside attack on Mr Lee Kuan Yew, a great Asian and a very great statesman. [More…]
No man and no government was taken apart more thoroughly than was Mr Whitlam and his Government when a spokesman for Mr Lee Kuan Yew in statement after statement and with fact after fact showed that on performance inside South East Asia Singapore was second to none, and certainly not second to Australia. [More…]
Before this Government increased rates of unemployment benefits, a man with a wife and two children received a rate of unemployment benefit which was $18 below the updated poverty level set by the Institute of Applied Economic Research in Melbourne. [More…]
I think everyone should be pleased to know that this man has had his name cleared, especially as he is in advanced years and in declining health. [More…]
One can never forget cases such as the case of Timothy Evans who, it was generally agreed, was executed although he was an innocent man. [More…]
The main principle is that we should establish the regard for human life on a plane where society itself will not take it by way of punishment. [More…]
The history of the cases of treason shows that many of them would be regarded as political cases. [More…]
Many thought that the man should not have been executed; that he should not even have been convicted. [More…]
Really he was on the side of Germany during the war. [More…]
When one reads the case it is very difficult to say that that man should have been treated as a traitor to the United Kingdom because in fact he had made a decision and had said: ‘Look, I am not on their side, I am on the other side.’ [More…]
On the subject of capital punishment for treason we have heard a couple of examples given by Senator Murphy and Senator McManus, but one must look at what treason really means. [More…]
What of the case of a man who may be a traitor to his country and could cause the loss of lives of hundreds or thousands of troops on occasions, such as those on a troop ship? [More…]
But when it can be clearly shown that a person has been a traitor to his country, has put his country in jeopardy and has placed the lives of many people in jeopardy, and perhaps caused the deaths of many people, then I think there ought to be no alternative to his paying the full price for his treachery. [More…]
I am not aware that any honourable senator or any member of the Australian public would go to bed feeling that he could have said to him, as has been said by honourable senators opposite, ‘You are a hanger’, or ‘You are a man keen on death.’ [More…]
To go back to the argument of the Opposition, 1 believe that the crime of treason does not automatically require the life of the person who has committed the treason to be taken, but we should retain on the statute books a provision so that the judiciary which is appointed by the Parliament of this country will be able to judge a man for his crime and, eventually, perhaps, call on him to forgo his life. [More…]
It was used in Tasmania by a Labor Government. [More…]
We had a Labor Government in office in Tasmania for 30-odd years and this power was used once. [More…]
A few years gaol for some of the most horrible offences known to man is, in my opinion, completely and absolutely inadequate. [More…]
Especially is that true in regard to the crime of treason against one’s country and one’s fellow man. [More…]
It is being gradually recognised that the threats that are being engendered, aided by the most modern methods and mechanisms that man has devised including the development of instruments of violence and opportunities for man under the influence of stimulants to commit violence are such that a Parliament that today persistently proceeds, just because of an ideological idea that it has a conviction that there should be no capital punishment, is, I believe, blind completely to the destructive threats that are evident in our community. [More…]
As I understand Senator Wright, he spoke of a man who is half insane and who, after killing his de facto wife, shoots persons. [More…]
If in a moment of heat somebody knocks down a policeman and perhaps kills him, that is an entirely different situation. [More…]
Where it is clearly shown that a police officer has been killed, with a weapon which a criminal has on his person, and where this man was prepared to kill that police officer if necessary, this is premeditated. [More…]
Is the policeman classified as a murderer because he took a life? [More…]
The cheapness of the exercise is shown by the fact that a man can commit premeditated murder, no insanity need be claimed, he ‘s put in gaol, at the taxpayers’ expense, for a few short years and out he comes to freedom street again. [More…]
What of the policeman’s widow and children? [More…]
They have a lifetime in which to put up with the tragedy caused by this one man and yet that man goes out onto freedom street and goes his own way. [More…]
A man brutally killed a little girl in Ceduna not many years ago and today he is coming out onto freedom street. [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…]
The parliamentarians have not yet got strong enough stomachs to stand up to it but as the demand strengthens they will become stronger, too, and restore the death penalty. [More…]
Judges poke out their chests when they sentence a man to 20 years imprisonment with a parole period of 4 years. [More…]
What they mean to say is that in their own weak manner they have sentenced the man to 4 years’ imprisonment. [More…]
The man to whom I refer charged forth and assailed the entertainer in front of everybody in the gaol and the prisoners had to drag him away. [More…]
A young man and a young lady were arrested. [More…]
The young man did what the law should have done - he hanged himself. [More…]
Not so many years ago I remember people saying that it was no good putting people in gaol and that it was no good doing this and that. [More…]
When that magistrate retired he stood for the city council and came second I think, in the poll of many candidates. [More…]
That man demonstrated that people who are strong in seeing that the law is carried out will always win the approbation of the people generally. [More…]
Even in this debate the Attorney-General, Senator Murphy, is putting up a valiant one man fight on behalf of his Party, not to answer the points made by Opposition senators but to explain in some semblance the measure which is being carried. [More…]
in fine, the only way that there may be of prompting a man’s mind such as “in the case which I put forward in relation to a prisoner who is serving a life sentence and an employee who may be appointed on behalf of the community such as a prison officer, Commonwealth Police Force officer or State police force officer to confine that prisoner in a manner such as the law provides or such as we are able economically to provide. [More…]
Maybe I am moving away from the direct point to which, Mr Chairman, you suggest that we should confine ourselves. [More…]
I make the point that where a man is serving a life sentence it is impossible in any prison for him to arm himself with some weapon so that he can take the life of the man who is appointed to protect society from him. [More…]
There is no further penalty for that man with the years in front of him should we deprive our prison officers of the protection of the ultimate penalty. [More…]
No other penalty is available against a man who is serving a life prison sentence unless we do as Senator Rae says. [More…]
He suggested that perhaps we should have within our prisons the torment - undoubtedly this is done in our prisons today - of placing a man in solitary confinement. [More…]
Hardly any member of the Senate would know the burden that is placed on that man. [More…]
But it would he said that society would rather face a man with that type of penalty than deny him his life and rid society of him. [More…]
It is too big a job for a man to share with the Prime Ministership. [More…]
When Mr Wilson went on television, as he did on many nights, and put over these cutting quips and these spurts of humour, everybody laughed at him and said: ‘By jove, he is funny. [More…]
But when the election came they voted for the stolid, serious man who never laughed but who. [More…]
When it came to the election after he attained power, with all his posturing, all his fun, all his sneers and all his quips, they preferred the man whom they thought would do a serious job of work. [More…]
He is not here but I know that he is a busy man. [More…]
No one should have to be subjected to the sort of nonsense which is coming from this Government and this Minister for Education who, if he was a man of principle, would have resigned long since. [More…]
Representatives of many schools in Australia have sent me copies of letters they have written to Mr Beazley, such as the copy of a letter dated 20 August which I received today. [More…]
Granted he showed loyalty - and I am not saying that he did it disrespectfully - but he came home a disappointed man. [More…]
To answer the question shortly: It puts the rural man on parity with the urban dweller. [More…]
Were we to be involved or were those close to us to be involved in such an incident I wonder whether the sanctity of human life should be our greatest consideration. [More…]
I wonder what those honourable senators who have spoken in this debate tonight would do if there was a peephole big enough .to poke a good rifle through in the bank chamber in Stockholm where 4 people are hanging on ropes while the man who is attempting to extort money from the community decides whether he will kill them. [More…]
What would be the action of those people who say that they would always preserve the sanctity of human life if they had a rifle and a peephole available. [More…]
I suggest that Senator Webster would make an ideal hangman. [More…]
I respect the views of many honourable senators who have spoken in relation to this subject. [More…]
Certainly, I do not respect a man who uses a situation involving one of our members who was a prisoner of war. [More…]
That is an entirely different situation from trying a man before a jury, calculating the crime, and making a decision. [More…]
They would not have done it at the calculated level of a court trial or in the manner that Senator Webster has indicated. [More…]
I believe it is wrong for us to force the death penalty on persons as a mandatory punishment. [More…]
He is forced ‘by law to put that black cap on his head and declare that a man shall be executed. [More…]
When I am a free member of the Parliament I act as a free man, unlike the members of the Labor Party who, when they are ostensibly free men, act as Caucus cronies even in respect of a matter so important as capital punishment. [More…]
But they are severely handicapped when he joins in a denigration of a man like Senator Webster whose whole life has been dedicated to humanitarian ism and a jealous defence and betterment of the community of which he is masterful member. [More…]
I repudiate entirely the idea that Senator Poyser should be listened to when he criticises Senator Webster because Senator Webster’s achievement in the cause of humanitarianism is outstanding by comparison with any other member of the Senate. [More…]
We are posed with the problem of saying what should happen to the man who has taken advantage of that situation. [More…]
Such a man may be found guilty only after having passed through all the procedures we have created to ensure justice. [More…]
If a man has taken 40 or 400 lives, after passing through all these procedures, only then does the question arise as to whether his life should be taken because of his mean, contemptible abuse of all the advantage that he has in using a bomb in a modern means of communication such as an aircraft. [More…]
I believe that the death penalty does not act as a deterrent to the man who kills on impulse or who kills without intent almost, but I am certain that if a man is planning the awfully intricate details that are necessary to hijack an aircraft he at some stage gives some cognisance to what will happen if he is caught. [More…]
If this were not so, why do so many habitual criminals - housebreakers and burglars - never carry a gun? [More…]
Even if the retention of the death penalty deterred only one man from slaughtering innocent people in the process of hijacking an aircraft, I think it is wise chat the penalty be retained. [More…]
Why do we have a difference between the crime of manslaughter, when there is no intent, and the crime of murder? [More…]
A man might murder somebody who is destroying his whole family structure or who is caught in an illicit relationship with his wife. [More…]
I stand for that, and I stand for the alleviation of this penalty for many of the crimes for which the death sentence is imposed and is almost automatically never carried out. [More…]
He is the same as a man who is innocently working as a plumber, a tram conductor or in any other occupation. [More…]
I held it as a young man before I became interested in politics. [More…]
We hold the view that each man can speak for himself. [More…]
We are interested in humanitarian questions also. [More…]
I remind members of the Opposition that humanitarian attitudes do not repose only in those sitting on the Opposition benches. [More…]
In point of fact we are concerned about people and the sanctity of human life. [More…]
We are concerned about understanding human nature. [More…]
Because of man’s depravity, in my lifetime we have been engaged in 2 world conflicts. [More…]
Anybody who recalls the men in captivity who were relieved from death staring them in the face by the abrupt ending of that war by the delivery of the bomb will never shrink from supporting those who took the decision to end the War abruptly in mercy to mankind even if it killed Hiroshima. [More…]
He has 3 women and a man held as hostages. [More…]
Am I to be told that people like that deserve to live in this human society? [More…]
However, in all the many hundreds of thousands of words that have been uttered on this subject I have not taken part in the debate except perhaps by way of friendly and helpful interjection. [More…]
Many honourable senators on this side of the chamber would forecast that those people would decide that the Senate was taking the wrong attitude and was making the wrong decision. [More…]
I do not want people to be able to prove that I was one of the few who consistently voted from one point of view and was not man enough to stand in my place and briefly state my reasons. [More…]
I believe it is some deterrent; how great no one can imagine.I believe that if, as a deterrent, it saves one human life, one innocent person from being murdered, it is well worth having on the statute book. [More…]
I am a great believer in human life, but first and foremost the innocent person has priority. [More…]
I had some private discussions with him and he indicated quite strongly his desire to see man. [More…]
In view of the greatly decreased use of our defence forces’ aircraft, ships and modern equipment with the resulting increase in the use of moth balls and the general trimming of defence man power, has the Government yet given consideration to ordering a heavy cut in the advertising campaign that is still being conducted through the media for recruits to the 3 Services, as it would seem that the recruiting rate would not now be required at the former level? [More…]
No, I have not read about the man who was going to sell his motor car. [More…]
Now that the name of Mr Rubensohn has been mentioned, may I say that he is a man of very great repute and is highly regarded throughout the advertising industry. [More…]
I do not suppose that this is very relevant but since it was put in such sinister terms I merely point out that it is not unique and that in this case the man was not available. [More…]
The other point made by Senator McManus was that if this Bill were passed it would alter radically the parliamentary set-up. [More…]
Such a system may elect many more independents, many more Labor Party representatives or many more Liberal Party representatives. [More…]
They are refusing to stand up to a position in which one man’s vote is as good as another man’s vote. [More…]
Honourable senators can argue on and on, but the fact is that that proposition has been upheld in the courts of many countries, including the United States of America. [More…]
It has attacked the country man with unparalleled viciousness. [More…]
But it has done nothing in real terms to help the man in the street by tackling inflation to help him keep some value in his savings and in his earnings. [More…]
He must have said this with his tongue in his cheek because for 23 years pretenders have been sitting in the other place whereas today we have a man of substance leading a party of substance and providing policies of substance for this country. [More…]
He said that our Party - the Labor Party and Government - claimed a mandate to implement certain policies. [More…]
I say without any possibility of contradiction that the Labor Party has a mandate to govern this country and that it has been frustrated continually by the noisy little people sitting on the back benches on the other side with their inept leadership at the top level. [More…]
The average small man in this community, the average worker, the average artisan, does not own areas of land in such places and the $300 allowed will more than cover his rates and land taxes. [More…]
It is designed to counter inflation at the expense of the working man. [More…]
Of course, the damage that is done by inflation is not done to the moneyed man, the man who holds land or assets; it is done to the small man, the man who is on a fixed income. [More…]
They are wonderful things to be achieved in the community, but they presented to the general private sector of industry the great threat that unless large companies had the ability to meet these demands immediately they come to the companies would find themselves running out of business and they would be recreant to those who owned the companies. [More…]
The present position is that Australia has a great man as leader of its newly elected government. [More…]
He is a man of great sincerity and a man who has given a great deal of time to pledging himself to deal with his country’s economic problems. [More…]
In my view, it is a most unfair form of taxation because, to a large degree, it places almost the same burden on the poor man as it places upon the man of wealth. [More…]
The purpose of this was to help the man in the street to improve the quality of life in urban areas, to improve the public transport, to reduce unemployment and to improve pensions, repatriation benefits and a whole variety of other matters which have been so clearly expressed in the Budget. [More…]
Do we have something that is stated by a man who breaks a promise, or is it a statement by a man who did not know what was going to be done? [More…]
What do you make of a man who does this? [More…]
It too is subject to a condition of secrecy, according to Mr Roberts-Thomson who is a most estimable man in the primary production field in Tasmania. [More…]
Producing as we do a sufficiency of a God-given product, why should we have to go to the representatives of another country and say to them: ‘You help us to say how many peas or beans we should import into our country’. [More…]
Another man who gave evidence is a jam manufacturer from Sydney who was in dire trouble due largely to the fact that at that time - I do not know what the position is now - New Zealand manufacturers bought their sugar, which comprises about 63 per cent of jam, on the world market at half the price that he had to pay. [More…]
Members of the Committee will remember that this Australian jam manufacturer instanced a whole range of prices at which New Zealand jam was put in Sydney shops. [More…]
Apart from that, Senator Poyser made the point that because of the proliferation of committees it would be difficult to find the extra bodies to man the 2 or 3 committees, even if the problem of uniformity were overcome. [More…]
This is the man who is now running away from everything he has said, including what he had to say on airports. [More…]
He knows that it is a primary plank in the platform of the Labor Party that regressive taxes - indirect taxes are regressive - hit the little man. [More…]
The main tax increase is on petrol - the little man’s car - and it is 5c a gallon. [More…]
The Labor Party has put tax on cigarettes, which is the little man’s pleasure, and on liquor. [More…]
His incredible conceit leads him to believe that he is a man of destiny. [More…]
Let us look at the one man, the Prime Minister, and examine his actions throughout the world. [More…]
Everywhere he went he did damage to Australia internationally by his rudeness and his ill-mannered and undiplomatic remarks. [More…]
Without going into details about the work of a parliamentary committee of which I am a member, I point out that Mr Darby, a New South Wales Government MLA, has written a book on the back page of which he makes out a case, which he is fully entitled to do, about subversion in the community at large, and he goes on to say that many people have not had the benefit of British tradition. [More…]
A man of the Ukranian community who gave evidence before a committee of this Parliament was highly indignant that people were suspicious of him because his name was not British in content. [More…]
Without retracing too much the history between the world wars, a man of Scottish origin in the person of Mackenzie King in Canada was the first to become impatient because there was too much genuflecting, for want of a better term, to the Crown. [More…]
I do not think the honourable senator would doubt for one moment that the Parliamentary Counsel is a man of eminent legal standing. [More…]
I am trying to speak as a practical person, knowing that the ordinary man or woman in the community would say that Queen Elizabeth the Second is the Queen of Australia. [More…]
In view of his performance to date, one cannot put a great deal of faith in what he says. [More…]
Mr Barnard is a lucky man. [More…]
Many of them are specialists in their particular field. [More…]
It is most disheartening for a serviceman to know that those above him will remain in the Services for another 6 years or longer. [More…]
Like the Leader of the Opposition, I believe that a man enters a particular Service because he wants to serve in that Service, not in the armed forces of this country. [More…]
Senator DrakeBrockman suggested that a man joined a Service because he was attracted to that Service and wanted to serve his country. [More…]
He is the man whom honourable senators opposite put into office as the shadow Minister for Defence. [More…]
Yet Senator Withers comes along and trots up some philosophical statement which one can dig up from any man’s record. [More…]
Why does Senator Withers have to denigrate a man of such capacity- a man who led this country at a time of war? [More…]
I am given to understand that that $30m relates only to the cost of purchasing the transmitters that are involved, and not to the studios, the film stock or the staff that would be required to man the studios. [More…]
Observations have been made in regard to this matter to the effect that the Government’s actions would hurt the little man- the home buyer- and push up housing costs. [More…]
Meanwhile, a flood of finance is pushing up demand for housing. [More…]
A year earlier- itself a time of strong housing demandthe annual rate was 150,000. [More…]
The housing aspect apart, it should be remembered that the little man is a lender as well as a borrower. [More…]
We are right in the midst of that action and are coping as manfully as the Treasurer, who is a very wise man, can do. [More…]
But the real threat to consumer purchasing power is inflation, and consumers, who are basically the working man and his family, can only gain by measures that are taken to slow down the rate of inflation. [More…]
This Government is on the road to solving unemployment and we are now by our fiscal measures setting out to solve the problem of inflation which, as I have said, not only is a problem in Australia but also is an international problem which basically affects the working man and his family. [More…]
Everyone, especially the young man who is purchasing land in order to build a home on it, is aware that speculation, particularly in land and property, builds up on borrowed and quickly turned-over money. [More…]
It is that trend rather than the higher interest cost which is the real enemy of the home buyer and the ordinary family man. [More…]
But, the housing aspect apart, it should always be remembered that the little man, the working man, is a lender as well as a borrower. [More…]
The increase in the interest rates on government securities will encourage more savings on the part of the worker and the family man and thus reduce the rush to spend. [More…]
How does revaluation affect the average man in the street? [More…]
If we add the 5 per cent currency revaluation to the effect of the 25 per cent cut in tariffs on those items, yes, the decision will hit the Australian man in the street, the men who work in boot factories and the girls who work in shirt factories. [More…]
People are going to find that the goods they are manufacturing cannot compete on the Australian market. [More…]
I have to say this: I would have more confidence today in a Labor Treasurer who had started as a newsboy and became a successful business man. [More…]
He said he is the little man, financially, because the little men are the ones who have tens of thousands of millions of dollars in savings bank accounts. [More…]
The records of employment in this country reveal that never since the War when we had to put every man jack of our employable forces into either the armed services or some industry have we had such a high ratio of employment. [More…]
It was said earlier in this debate that we have more vacancies than there is manpower to fill them. [More…]
What sort of a government is it that poses as being a government of the working man or the little man but directs all its attacks at the little man? [More…]
When I use the term ‘the collective good ‘, I think I can do no better than to commence my speech by referring to the sum of $136m that has been earmarked for so many urban projects. [More…]
When I hear Senator Carrick talk about the little man and the little woman, I am always amazed - [More…]
Within a few days of the election a 2-man Ministry was constituted. [More…]
A whole series of actions were undertaken by the 2-man Ministry, which was really a denial of the democratic process. [More…]
The actions undertaken by the 2-man ministry included things of such great moment as the returning of a passport to Mr Burchett and things of that nature. [More…]
There was no attempt by that 2-man Administration to step in and handle the economic situation, which was a deepening cloud on the political and public horizon in Australia. [More…]
The 2-man Administration did the things I mentioned, but the real problem was not tackled. [More…]
We heard all the strange philosophy which is embodied in the Governor-General’s Speech, namely, that the welfare of Australia does not consist only of what one might call material prosperity; it consists of so many other things which are spelt out in glamorous and sentimental terms. [More…]
Every trade unionist knows it, every house owner and prospective house owner knows it, the worker knows it, the middle man knows it, the exporter knows it, we know it and every member of the Government knows it. [More…]
You do not mind a man being thrown out of his job and being compelled to get another job which requires retraining. [More…]
A man who sits in a darkened room should not be surprised if he is blinded by a sudden blaze of light. [More…]
It means the degradation of a man to a robot ‘s level. [More…]
I know that Senator Murphy is a man of humanitarian tendencies because of his statement in regard to the forthcoming Bill of Rights and I offer this Government a chance to redeem its humanitarian image by taking appropriate action at the United Nations without delay. [More…]
The cost of production cannot be ignored, and when considering that factor we cannot ignore the incessant demands from all sectors of the community for increased wages. [More…]
I recall what was said by a Labor friend of mine, a man who has voted for the Labor Party all his life. [More…]
Senator Jessop mentioned the recommendations of this authority, but in Senator Jessop ‘s mind there can be no greater reason for condemning the working man, his hours of work and the wages he receives than that he voted Labor. [More…]
A man who has always voted Labor is put up as an authority on how we should control inflation in Australia. [More…]
The commodity of labour, which is the only commodity that the working man in our community has to offer, is under control. [More…]
Now because someone who has voted Labor in the past told Senator Jessop that there should be Government intervention to prevent working hours from being fixed, he has put this man up as an authority. [More…]
The Labor Government has acted more quickly and in a more determined manner than any previous government in carrying out the policies which it presented to the electors and which it was returned to power to carry out. [More…]
A 2-man Administration was set up- this was criticised by the Opposition- for the sole purpose of putting into effect policies for which we had a mandate and in relation to which legislation was not necessary. [More…]
Whenever there is a demand for the commodity of labour none of the rights of those who supply it should be taken away from them. [More…]
The previous Government eased the inflationary problems in Australia at the expense of human beings. [More…]
He advocates that the working man should pay in order to reduce inflation. [More…]
There is no control at all over the profits that may be made from the sale of the product of that man’s labour power. [More…]
The Government is satisfied with the progress that it has made up to date despite the Labor man in South Australia, mentioned by Senator Jessop, who may not vote Labor again because we did not adopt his philosophy on inflation. [More…]
It is very doubtful whether the average man on the land really wants it this way. [More…]
It is not really a question of money of course, but of man hours and capital installationsof real resources. [More…]
They say that they love the family man and his children. [More…]
There are many items in the Budget on which one could speak- social services, education and other things- but I was always told that a postscript should never be added to a good letter. [More…]
So honourable senators can see that the average working man today is not in the race in buying his own home. [More…]
Yesterday I told the Senate of the plight of the young man who wants to buy a home. [More…]
They did not want to employ a man if he could not shear 150 sheep a day. [More…]
If a shearer could not sheer that many, he could not get a shearing pen. [More…]
Science will not be able to devise any method but the physical hard work of a human being of getting the wool off sheep. [More…]
A man has to bend his back, hold the sheep with one hand and brush off the wool with the other. [More…]
They have adopted a philosophy over the years that farmers should capitalise their profits but socialise their losses at the expense of the man in the street who cannot do that. [More…]
If the man in the street is not making a decent living wage, he cannot afford to buy what the farmer is producing. [More…]
Of course, many primary producers were getting a pretty fair crack of the whip in years gone by. [More…]
Having been a primary producer, I know at first hand of all the lurks that can be used in regard to taxation of which the man on wages cannot avail himself. [More…]
The working man has not got a seaside home and would not have the wherewithal to purchase one unless he won the lottery. [More…]
Two-man poll not popular. [More…]
Senator Withers is very worried that the coming Senate election and the Parramatta by-election will develop into a 2-man contest. [More…]
Replies to the ballot came from 7 banks and insurance companies, 9 land and general agents, 18 car sales, service and parts, 1 1 roadhouses, 7 hotels and accommodations, 10 fruit and delicatessens, 50 retail stores, 28 other services and 10 manufacturers. [More…]
The Murray Valley Development League did not contact the man in the street in conducting that survey; it contacted business people, the people who have a financial interest in the town of Murray Bridge. [More…]
It grieves me very much to hear honourable senators opposite talking about increased production from the working man. [More…]
Many years ago I used to go to Ballarat digging spuds. [More…]
I am not saying that all primary producers treat their workers in this manner; they do not. [More…]
I have been to many places which have ideal working conditions, and the people who own these places never have a problem in getting employees. [More…]
If a farmer has decent living conditions to offer and treats his workers as human beings he will never have a problem in getting labour. [More…]
Yes, I know, but I am a tolerant man. [More…]
They know that their organisations are all behind the pack order of war, the generals and the old traditional way of keeping the ordinary working man in subjection. [More…]
I particularly picked up the last segment of Senator McManus ‘s speech in which he talked in a general way about the role of our Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam). [More…]
Accepting the conclusions which Senator McManus voiced and substituting Kissinger for Whitlam, if I were an American I would equate Kissinger with Benedict Arnold and say that he ought to be impeached. [More…]
In all the welter of the Watergate inquiry Kissinger is claimed to be the man who defused Vietnam and achieved a better dialogue with Peking and Moscow. [More…]
One recalls the argument on justification of Marshal aid- -incidentially I believe that in many areas it was justified- and one can say that there were over reactions. [More…]
Dr Cairns is a man of stature and has strong views. [More…]
So I ask: What is the additional artificial manmade radiation in Australia as at March of this year compared with 100 millirads- the normal? [More…]
Of those 2 millirads, I say to honourable senators that the best expert advice is that some 60 per cent of this man-made fallout has been contributed by the French, some 20 per cent by the Chinese and the remaining 15 to 20 per cent is the residium of the Russian and British tests, going back to the original Bikini tests. [More…]
If indeed there is a threat why are we demolishing our defences today because no ohe- no country and no man- is and island. [More…]
But the joy to all those who study politics a little must come when we look upon the Labor Party revelling in victory, exuding power and authority and resorting to new taxes and to indirect taxation, while we who have been in this chamber for a few years can recall without effort having been described by the Labor Party Opposition as the enemies of the working man because X on $40,000 a year was smoking the same cigarettes, attracting the same sales tax, as Y on about $4,000 a year, lt will cost the underdog just as much. [More…]
By the time the working man gets on hire purchase his motor car, his refrigerator, his furniture and all the equipment needed to sustain his home, the interest rate at which those items will be available to him will be about 12 per cent to 14 per cent. [More…]
This Party, which has claimed to be a low interest Party, now finds itself imposing that exorbitant interest rate on the working man, either by its own will and capacity or unwillingly but unable, because of its incompetence to find any alternative, having regard to the inflation that it has whipped up in the course of 9 months. [More…]
Honourable senators can see that the Government is deliberately adding to the cost of the man for whom transport is important. [More…]
It is a fact that one African state has a statute that precludes a white man even from being a citizen of that country. [More…]
If it was tendered by people whose job it is to advise the Government, and it was, then I say that to gamble with the security of your fellow man in that fashion borders almost on treachery. [More…]
Well as one man put it, if he had had time he would have gone right back to the time of George Washington and given them all a touch up. [More…]
That appears to be the discretion of the man who holds the portfolio in which discretion is so important. [More…]
He said, in the mien of a man who is uncovering some awful sacrilege, that the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Snedden, had poured sand into the diplomatic relations that exist between this country and China. [More…]
Thus spoke the man who had said insulting things about the President of the United States, the only ally fit and able, or which would have been fit and able, to come and help us in time of extremity. [More…]
Do honourable senators know what I would like to do with a man who made that kind of statement? [More…]
I have here a statement made by another man who appeals to me. [More…]
Mr Connor- the man who calls the people who have built up the mining industry in Australia hillbillies and all the rest of it. [More…]
Writing in the ‘Bulletin’, a man called David McNicoll was highly critical of the attitude taken by Mr Connor with regard to mineral disposal, mineral marketing and so forth. [More…]
Mr Connor- the man who said that the pioneers of mineral development in Australia were a lot of hillbillies. [More…]
I can remember many years ago as a very young man reading articles on the very matters that he has mentioned. [More…]
A man with great industrial experience reminds me that the same thing happened when holiday pay and annual leave were introduced. [More…]
He is the man who has been dumped by the Liberal Party. [More…]
Yet for centuries man has chained himself to that concept just as some people of the world chained themselves to the idea that the only way in which they could store for future use that which they earned today was to drill holes in the coins and hang them around their necks. [More…]
A man can ‘t buy a house, he ‘s living like a louse [More…]
He is the type of hypocritical man who talks about cheap housing for the people. [More…]
The most pathetic thing about inflation is that it robs the small man of his savings and income. [More…]
That argument somehow reminds me of a sick man going to hospital. [More…]
I do not know whether it would be a fair thing for the Opposition also to put out a countermanding publication at the expense of the taxpayers. [More…]
Although I am not in favour of the proposal to implement a prices and wages freeze, we read that the New Zealand Government with which this Government claims to have great affinity- it is a Labor Government with the difference that Mr Kirk stands on his own feet, is his own man, does what he thinks fit and is not dictated to or told what to do by anyone else- states that strikes and excessive wage demands are the reason for the New Zealand wages-prices freeze. [More…]
The number of stoppages and the loss of man hours in New Zealand in the first 6 months of this year exceeded the totals for the 12 months of 1972. [More…]
I do not know why it is, but immediately the Labor Government assumed office the number of man hours lost because of industrial stoppages jumped. [More…]
I do not know whether the number of man hours lost jumped because those people responsible for this situation knew perfectly well that penalties would not be enforced. [More…]
The companies are paying the extra 5c excise, and the Minister has called in the manager or managing director or head man of one of the independent oil companies to advise him over and above the head of the Prices Commissioner what he should do about the price to be charged for petrol and fuels in the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
This great philosophy which destroys initiative and efficiency is the one that many members of the Government uphold. [More…]
Since the Government has been in office there have been more strikes and more lost man hours than before. [More…]
I was talking to a small business man recently and he said that when this maternity leave provision flows through to private industry, as he employs mainly women it will add an additional 15 per cent to his wages bill. [More…]
But we pay this tribute to Mr Hawke, that he has acted as an honourable man. [More…]
In many instances their internal currencies have been revalued, in many cases by anything from 100 per cent to 1000 per cent. [More…]
This has brought about the complete impoverishment of the people whom the Labor Party says it represents- the little man. [More…]
The big man can unload into property reserves and other channels to escape the consequences and emerge wealthy again in the new financial structure which is created, but the little man has to start again from scratch. [More…]
I well remember that Mr H. S. Baker, a most estimable man in Tasmanian politics, was chairman of a committee that inquired into price control. [More…]
But I have here a statement from a man who is on the other end, that is the receiving end. [More…]
That man’s name in Mundey. [More…]
They are the words of a man with great influence. [More…]
-Well, I think they were and I think any man who had any common sense would accept and realise the complete truth of these words. [More…]
Exorbitant and unreasonable demands for wage increases are being engineered and activated by people whose main object in life is to break down the Australian way of life, the Australian economic system and to bring in some form of socialism; it is not so much to confer a benefit on the working man. [More…]
Can anyone imagine what a man like the Minister for the Capital Territory (Mr Enderby) would do if price control were in his hands? [More…]
I am not by any means a low wages man. [More…]
This is the man who said those cherished words and who set President Kennedy and the 3 great days of leadership up as an example of what he would do by direct action. [More…]
He said that President Kennedy was the man who did more to fix prices in America than could be done by all the legislation in the world. [More…]
Here was the man who then went to Caucus and by abject abdication of leadership put himself into the situation where he is now going to the Australian people with the most preposterous proposition that has ever been put by any Prime Minister. [More…]
We are left with the outrageous proposition that not only did the Prime Minister yesterday or the day before seek to get the twinning of powers over prices and income but so did the Minister for Labour (Mr Clyde Cameron), the man fundamentally interested in this question. [More…]
It might well be thought strange that we in the Australian Parliament seek to do something which could result in freedom for a man who gave the Soviet its most powerful weapon; and yet Sakharov has indicated clearly in his statements from behind the Iron Curtain that he is disgusted with Soviet society and the way in which it controls men’s minds, and for that reason I have no hesitation in bracketing him with Solzhenitsyn in the resolution which is before this chamber. [More…]
The gravamen of these interviews is that intellectual freedom is nonexistent in the Soviet Union and anyone who criticises the Government is liable to imprisonment and, in many cases, to torture, the favourite method being the injection of excessive amounts of the drug halopiridol to cause depression and ultimately madness. [More…]
But administered in excessive quantities it brings about depression and lethargy and ultimately turns a man into a vegetable. [More…]
For a man known for his staid courage in the face of official isolation and propaganda hounding, these words are considered to be the words of almost final despair. [More…]
The astonishing thing is that the mere fact that the man is in disagreement with the establishment in Russia is taken as grounds of insanity. [More…]
It means daily spittle into your ears and eyes, it is an offence and degradation of man to a robot’s level … [More…]
It is interesting- I have already pointed this out- that there has been a conspiracy of silence on the part of the Australian Government about telling the people of Australia the facts about nuclear fallout and man-made fallout. [More…]
In what I thought was one of the most important speeches I have heard in this chamber in many days, Senator Hannan tonight drew attention to what is happening in Russia in terms of selective propaganda, the repression of dissidents and the telling of a half truth and a half lie. [More…]
He instanced Alexander Solzhenitsyn, a Nobel Prize winner and the author of many books. [More…]
He is a man whose word and judgment are respected. [More…]
He is also a man who understands the double standards of the totalitarian propaganda. [More…]
What a terrible thing it is that this should be said by one of the great men of this world- one of the most courageous voices in contemporary history, a man who is speaking out at the risk of his life. [More…]
I, in common with other people in this Parliament and in Australia, am opposed to increasing man-made nuclear fall-out where it is possible to stop it. [More…]
I have pointed out that the total additional manmade fall-out from all atom tests- from the Bikini tests through to the British, American, Russian, French and Chinese tests- is an extra 2 millirads or less in Australia. [More…]
Nobody can say that very small doses, as have been experienced from man-made tests, spread over a period have any effect; equally no scientist on this earth can prove conclusively that they do not. [More…]
All people of good heart and humanity will oppose extra radiation, but to put this in line it is also important to point out that the kind of statistical information the Attorney-General has been attempting to use is in no way accepted by scientists. [More…]
So in perspective, whilst to talk of the suffering and death of one man is ugly, nevertheless this is the kind of thing we are talking about. [More…]
These are the kind of figures that the Labor Party will not table because if it did table them they would show in perspective that it should have been warning people, if this man-made fallout is real, of many things. [More…]
What it should be talking about is people flying at high altitudes, and flying continuously, bearing in mind that the Leader of the Opposition (Senator Withers), who is sitting at the table, said that one return flight to Perth exposes a person to more cosmic fallout than all the man-made fallout of the tests. [More…]
It is sad that a great man, a Russian, should have spoken out about the tyranny of a country which I had hoped would have mellowed and would have moved to a detente. [More…]
I do urge upon this Australian Government of ours that if peace is to survive on this earth it should not set the kind of double standards which such a great man as Alexander Solzhenitsyn saw fit to criticise- and to criticise justly. [More…]
I believe he is his own man. [More…]
He said: ‘Yet here we are in 1973, after the experience in 194S of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, with people like Senator Sim who come into this Senate and try to justify the extension of this wicked, animal approach to the solution of man’s problems.’ [More…]
I refer to the suggestion that the Commonwealth Government is proposing to deport this man at an early date to avoid the possibility of retaliatory action by Arab terrorists. [More…]
A friend of mine who will retire in the next couple of years is an extremely wealthy man. [More…]
It is interesting to know that a lawyer can be on an assessment appeal tribunal only and then as the chairman. [More…]
I was also interested to find that all these tribunals are stacked, almost to a man, with people from the returned service organisations. [More…]
I can recall an occasion when it was indicated in the course of debate that there were known to be at that time 27 manifestations of cancer. [More…]
The Government has decided that, because of the relative obscurity of the origin of this disease in so many instances, it is to be accepted that the experiences of war may well have given rise to the onset of this dreaded disease. [More…]
I think it would be a very poor country that did not make some acknowledgement or some concession to the fact that a man or woman who suffers from this disease had served in a war in the defence of this country. [More…]
Recently a man came to me who had served in the Middle East and in Greece. [More…]
This man found himself detached from his unit in the Desert and put with an odds and sods unit which went to Greece. [More…]
This gentleman of an infantry battalion was attached to a British Army unit. [More…]
I have no doubt in my mind that that man had been hospitalised. [More…]
I said to the chairman and members of the tribunal: ‘Gentlemen, if you reject this evidence you have to call this man’s colleagues liars. [More…]
I have heard in this chamber- I think it was from Senator Bishop- and I have heard outside this chamber from that illustrious man who wields such control and power over the Labor Party, Mr R. J. Hawke, how the labourer is entitled to demand a fair price for his labour. [More…]
If not, does this mean that he will be a free man when he reaches the country to which he has been deported? [More…]
The honourable senator was very competent in the past, when he was a young man, in the art of plastering. [More…]
What would be the requirement of an ordinary working man who has been diligent in his time and has attempted to obtain some investment only to find that a return was frozen by this Government? [More…]
He was the man who was going to give a real role to the Senate in the bicameral system of the Federal Parliament. [More…]
Many of us can remember that in the period from 1935 to 1940 there were powerful disarmament organisations operating in this country and in the Labor Party. [More…]
Many of us can remember the statement by Mr John Curtin not long before Hitler’s war when he said that war was not imminent and the Government should consider reducing Australia’s forces. [More…]
They had nothing with which to resist the Japs and the son of this man died there. [More…]
But of course that man did not get what he was after. [More…]
What is happening, of course, is that the retirement benefits which the Government improved and made available in the belief that they would encourage people to stay in the armed forces are now being used by disappointed officers and non-commissioned officers who feel that the Army has been so downgraded that it offers nothing at all to a man who wants to make the best of his profession. [More…]
The worst feature of this is that it takes many years to build up skilled cadres and skilled groups in various areas of our armed forces. [More…]
I remind honourable senators opposite- they well know this-that they always argued that they would never obtain sufficient volunteers to man the Services. [More…]
Senator Devitt said that the previous Government- the Government that really cared about defence- did not take the advice of its advisers, yet the new 2-man syndicate that started to run the country on 2 December last year did. [More…]
Mr Barnard was man enough to say: ‘Yes, we could close down a bit because in the last 10 years my predecessors have built up strong defence forces for this country’. [More…]
But where I differ with my Tasmanian colleague, Mr Barnard, is that I believe the closing down has been too rapid. [More…]
In my view it has been done at the behest of an economistnot of a soldier, a sailor or an airman. [More…]
I ask you, Mr President, knowing that you are a benevolent and reasonable man, to ensure that the Australian taxpayers have an adequate opportunity to express both points of view in the future. [More…]
I thought I should make that position clear, because it is an important consideration when we are talking about trade between these 2 countries, that in the interests of the Australian primary industry the Labor Party to a man voted against the implementation of those provisions which it believed posed a threat of damage or serious harm- whatever term one would use- to the Australian industry. [More…]
In previous years when the Liberal-Country Parties formed the government and we had to raise extra revenue such moves were opposed to a man by the then Opposition. [More…]
Now that the Labor Party is in government it realises that many charges have to be increased in order to keep the Post Office going. [More…]
It seems quite strange that all members of the Government are in favour of these increased charges but when in Opposition they were, to a man, opposed to such charges at every stand. [More…]
-And so he should, as Senator McManus has said. [More…]
What a great man. [More…]
If a man in civilian clothing came up to me and said ‘I am going to arrest you. [More…]
He is a man who, of his human experience, ought to know; a man who has suffered psychological and physical tortures from his people; a man who has spent some 8 years inside the prisons of Russia and has known the privation and starvation of imprisonment in that country; a man who has been in the infamous Lubyanka gaol in Moscow; a man who has presented to the world 3 unique books, namely, ‘Cancer Ward’, ‘The First Circle’ and ‘August 1914’; a man whose publications are banned in his own country; and a man who says to the world today: ‘I have my life at risk; indeed, the life of my family at risk ‘. [More…]
This man whose voice has rung around the world as a Nobel Prize winner and who was not even permitted to go outside his country to collect his Nobel Prize is saying to the world: ‘I am threatened. [More…]
Alongside him stands another man, a remarkable man Andrei Sakharov who is the father of the Russian hydrogen bomb. [More…]
He is a man of some 52 years of age, a married man, a great nuclear physicist and a man who some years ago formed within Russia the human rights committee. [More…]
He sought within Russia to develop through the Soviet human rights committee intellectual freedom. [More…]
He is a man whose sons have been expelled from universities and whose son-in-law has been denied employment; a man who has spoken up despite all these threats because he believes that unless there is intellectual freedom not only Russia but the world will suffer; a man who is not willing to go outside Russia to attend scientific conferences at this moment because he knows that in common with his colleagues who have done so before he will be denied return, that he will be exiled if he does so. [More…]
Nevertheless he is a man who has spoken up. [More…]
One, the author, speaking and pleading and placing his life at risk for intellectual freedom, for the freedom of culture, for the freedom of literature and for the freedom of man to write; the other, the great physicist, placing his life at risk for the parallel freedom, namely, the freedom of scientists to talk freely about science, to exchange scientific knowledge and, therefore, to have true scientific freedom. [More…]
This man walks with fear because there is growing evidence that suppression, which tragically has been a characteristic of Russia over the years, has been accelerating in recent years and today practically all intellectual freedom is being wiped out. [More…]
A man who escaped from Russia, Kuznetsov, wrote a plea of the Russians as follows: [More…]
This was said by a great man now in exile in England. [More…]
We will not be able to read Solzhenitsyn ‘s next book; and thus the man who is probably the world’s greatest living novelist will be buried alive. [More…]
If a fraction of them are true then the approach to the Human Rights Committee commends itself. [More…]
There is the production by a man Zhores Medvedev in a book entitled ‘A question of Madness’. [More…]
I could give the Minister many other sources for that quote. [More…]
Here is a man saying, in effect: ‘If I appear to recant, it will not be the real me’. [More…]
The man has been arrested and tried and sentenced in a closed court. [More…]
It means the degradation of man to a robot’s level, whether they completely silence a waveband or jam it with a rusty saw or with vulgar music lt means that grown people are reduced to the subservience of infants: ‘Swallow what Mother has already chewed for you’. [More…]
Those are the words of a great man- a voice of liberty speaking. [More…]
We are asking that, on the basis of prima facie evidence, there should be referred to the United Nations Human Rights Committee a request to investigate these matters. [More…]
To me his words express the reasons why the man and his fellows are putting their lives and their families’ lives at total risk. [More…]
In 1936, 1937 and 1938 the thought of anybody, even, for instance, Maxim Gorki, who is as famous a man as Solzhenitsyn it a man much closer to the throne, voicing their dissent was unheard of. [More…]
I think that in a situation like this is behoves people in the rest of the world, like ourselves, who while accommodating to the fact that the Soviet Union exists and is possibly a permanent fixture in world society, nonetheless to regard dissident intellectuals or human beings in general in those countries as people like ourselves, people in whose fate we have an interest and people for whom we are prepared to raise our voices. [More…]
Whilst I disagree with Senator Hannan on many of his views of the world, especially his view of the Soviet Union, I applaud his raising of this issue. [More…]
I thought that it was a wonderful beacon of hope for the human species that a man like Solzhenitsyn could go through what he has been through in a physical, mental and spiritual sense and still devote the rest of his strength to try to persuade the rest of his fellows to his vision of what sort of world it should be and how a man should behave. [More…]
Of course, Herr Brandt is a man whose record entitles him to make such a statement without any accusation of hypocrisy. [More…]
Those honourable senators who know his war record and his record since will know that he is a man who has always been prepared to risk his life for his convictions. [More…]
That is not to say that we should be selective when serious abrogations of the rights of man are perpetrated in other countries, but I believe that when we do decide to raise our voices and protest we should not qualify that protest in any way by saying that it happens in other places. [More…]
Many people may say that this would seem to be perhaps a more civilised approach than that adopted in the Stalinist era when people were thrown into gaols, brainwashed and forced to make public confessions. [More…]
But I believe that it is probably an even crueller fate for man to be treated in this modern scientific manner, which is one of the great protests that Sozhenitsyn makes. [More…]
At least when men are treated with great physical cruelty there is some possibility that they will retain their integrity as human beings and particularly the integrity of their minds. [More…]
But putting people into psychiatric hospitals and administering to them mind destroying drugs which Senator Carrick has mentioned and which Solzhenitsyn particularly emphasises, is, I believe, the ultimate in human cruelty because it results in the destruction of the last refuge which man would have under these circumstances, and that is his free mind and a freedom to exercise his mind. [More…]
And then suddenly, at the last frontier, already stricken with poverty and nakedness and deprived of everything that seemingly adorns his life, man finds within himself enough resolution to give up his life rather than his principles! [More…]
I think that is a profound human statement. [More…]
I believe that the last degradation of man is that he should be treated by scientific methods and administered drugs which would prevent him, as a human being, from making that final and ultimate choice of standing up for his principles. [More…]
The question of the protection of human rights throughout the world ought to be of world concern. [More…]
The only way in which there can be a basic and continuing concern for human rights if is those nations of the world who regard these values as values worth preserving to speak up and to use what action can be taken whenever there is a breach of those rights. [More…]
Clearly, it is the mark of any civilisation that society should be concerned about the various essential freedoms of man- his freedom of speech, his freedom of association, his freedom to voice opinions and generally his basic right to his humanity We know that in the interests of society there must always be some limitations which must be imposed upon absolute freedom. [More…]
In any society man must live with his fellows and freedom, in the context in which we use it and in the context in which we seek to preserve it, must involve some regulation. [More…]
He appointed as new directors of the company myself as chairman, Mr Ray Thorburn, M.H.R., and Mr J. Neill, a leading Canberra accountant. [More…]
He referred- in fairness to the man I ask honourable senators to listen to what I have to say- allegations of misuse of moneys to the Attorney-General. [More…]
We will be spending for every man, woman and child of the Aboriginal population $1,000. [More…]
My advice to Mr Gordon Bryant- I was in a position to give him some advice- was that he ought to accept his transfer as a favour because the Department, as this area of its responsibility is run at the present time, will wreck many a man unless the Parliament takes a hold and accepts the responsibility of seeing that the moneys funded to the Department are properly spent. [More…]
That trust fund is responsible for the expenditure of many millions of dollars, and this ought not be permitted. [More…]
In looking at the tragedy of the housing situation on all of the Torres Strait Islands- and there are no exceptions- one would have thought that a white man, even though he had an island wife, would have had other means of constructing his own home. [More…]
I believe that the confidence man who has organised all this and who has directed the money in certain directions has completely hoodwinked the permanent head of the Department and the last Liberal Minister. [More…]
The Chairman of Applied Ecology Pty Ltd, Senator Georges, and his 2 colleagues on the board of directors have played a very important role in publicly exposing the matter. [More…]
by leave- On behalf of” the Liberal Opposition and also on behalf of the Australian Country Partybecause by friend and colleague Senator DrakeBrockman has said that he desires to be associated with these remarks- I say that I can understand why after 41 years of a very active and perhaps, at times, turbulent political life Senator Gair now would like to take things somewhat easier. [More…]
We wish Senator McManus success in his new venture as Leader of the Democratic Labor Party. [More…]
He is a man for whom we have always had a lot of respect, both for his intellect and debating capacity in this place. [More…]
If ever we had a grand old man of politics we have him here now. [More…]
I wish him well and hope he has many more years to go. [More…]
If ever a man deserved an honour from his country, this man does. [More…]
We also extend our congratulations to the new leader of the Democratic Labor Party (Senator McManus) and to his officers, paid and unpaid, and wish them well in the future. [More…]
The question is whether the same treatment that is afforded the working man today should be extended to other sections of the community. [More…]
Yet the Government seems to have the idea that the man on the land is just rolling in wealth. [More…]
It is now proposing that a service which has been given to the producer through many years by governments- that is, the inspection of export meat and the eradication of the 2 diseases to which I have referred- is to cease and a charge is to be imposed on the producer to meet the costs of these inspection and eradication programs. [More…]
Previous speakers have insinuated that the man in the street should have to pay for the 600 extra inspectors who are employed for the benefit of the industry. [More…]
The meat inspection is necessary to assure our overseas purchasers who are taking 66 per cent of our total beef production that our export meat is disease free and slaughtered under the most hygienic conditions that man can devise. [More…]
Many hundreds of thousands of square miles of Australia were in the grip of a drought. [More…]
The outlook was pretty grim for many of the farmers. [More…]
The point is this: If a man has an area of land on which he can grow beef and he could exist on it when he was receiving $30 or $40 a head for his cattle and is now receiving $200 a head for his cattle, he is able to pay his bills. [More…]
I was a dairy man for 30 years and a member of a State parliamentary committee which investigated brucellosis and tricomoniosis in Tasmania. [More…]
I have been to public meetings in Tasmania to discuss this proposition. [More…]
If there was one thing that any sensible man could see it would be that the Government should not put an impost on an industry in which the costs are high. [More…]
But as Senator Lillico mentioned a moment ago, a socialist philosophy means that the Government will control, will not encourage export, will not encourage production but will tie the industry and will tie the individual by the reduction of many of these benefits. [More…]
Therefore one Labor man has said that it is essential that the Government continue this operation. [More…]
The farmer is like the Broken Hill Pty Company Limited or the man in Tasmania who produces wood chips. [More…]
We accepted this man more as a spy than as a provider of information to us. [More…]
One can make a mistake by acting on suspicion and not waiting to judge the performance of an individual. [More…]
How stupid it is for a man to state that no further land is available. [More…]
Senator McLaren would know, because he has travelled to the Territory on a regular basis and on a number of occasions, that many areas of land are available. [More…]
I find it hard to believe that a Labor man such as Senator McLaren would argue in this place against his colleagues who live on the spot and who know the desires of the people there. [More…]
One man may have a large holding, but his objection would be outweighed if the small landholders were in agreement with the notice of acquisition. [More…]
My revelations in this Parliament about that petition upset the man who is leading the opposition to the acquisition of the land and who is passing information along to people such as Senator Webster. [More…]
The man who engineered the whole of this opposition to the acquisition of the land has admitted that what I said about the petition was correct. [More…]
So, there we have a man living in the Territory who paid $32 an acre for land many years ago and who now is asking $5,000 an acre. [More…]
As I have said before and as I repeat now, these are the things that we are trying to prevent in the interests of the little man whom Senator Webster said we are trying to crucify. [More…]
The people who have to suffer are the small people; the big man can afford to hang on. [More…]
If this man was going to lose money, if he was being unjustly treated or was not getting something in return for his business instincts I perhaps would be all the way with Senator Webster. [More…]
Many people speculatively bought the land in a land boom era. [More…]
But I suppose there has been many a small landholder who today would look at the huge shopping complex and say: ‘Gee, my land was worth a million’. [More…]
If it is accurate, what action is the Government taking against this man? [More…]
Every man and woman wants security for himself or herself and family, and wants and expects a reasonable share of the affluence that Australia can offer. [More…]
That dispute was finally settled by a very outstanding man in the industrial relations field. [More…]
It is all very well for you or me to say that it is a normal industrial development that a man should be made redundant because of technological change. [More…]
But a man over 45 years of age who feels that his job is slipping away from him will be pretty militant in his attempts to retain it. [More…]
When this man was threatened with dismissal he performed the operation. [More…]
The amendment moved by Senator Greenwoodthis comes from a legal man who knows the implications- is for the sole purpose of giving this protection to shop stewards throughout Australia who are doing a yeoman job in preventing industrial disputes. [More…]
Many industrial disputes will occur which could have been avoided if the shop steward had had the support and protection of the law so that he could approach the employer and possibly settle the dispute by negotiation before there was a walk-out from the job. [More…]
When I spoke during the second reading debate on this Bill I mentioned the restrained tone that had been adopted by Mr Malcolm Fraser, who is the spokesman for the Opposition on industrial matters, when he spoke in the debate on this Bill in the other place. [More…]
We all know that Senator Greenwood is an excitable man and a man who argues - [More…]
It is the product of the experience of a man who probably knows as much about industrial relations in this country as anybody I can think of. [More…]
The man who is not equipped to do it is not fit for the job. [More…]
The foreman said to him: ‘Jack, I don’t know what’s doing with you today. [More…]
The foreman did not know that the worker had put his brother in a mental institution the day before. [More…]
The worker thought that the foreman was poking fun at him. [More…]
The foreman finished on the floor. [More…]
The man who struck the foreman was sacked on the spot by the employer. [More…]
He insisted that the man be dismissed because he had struck his foreman. [More…]
He cannot say that the only protection against dismissal is that a man was acting in accordance with the authority or direction of the Federal body of his organisation. [More…]
It may not be quite as bad as the honourable senator imagines, but it is my wish that this man, who is a hero, be treated properly, that he be given employment or discharged, that he not be disadvantaged and that everything be done for him which the country would expect to be done for him. [More…]
I will not go into all the details of the matter, but I assure the Senate that I will take steps that represent the evident wish of the whole Senate to ensure that Constable Sandeman should be dealt with as the man he is. [More…]
He is a man who was injured grievously in the course of heroic actions on his part. [More…]
I do not believe that any medical man who examined the way in which the work of the Senate is being carried on at present would come to any other conclusion than that what is being done threatens the health of the ordinary members. [More…]
In the interests of the ordinary health of members, I believe, any medical man would commend the proposed hours as better than the present hours. [More…]
I am not suggesting that a man like Senator Greenwood with his legal experience and his mental subtleties is not capable of contributing something to this question. [More…]
In my experience- and I have had some- the ordinary man regards wages and conditions as more important than amalgamation with another union. [More…]
There is nothing more fundamental to the ordinary man than how much money a week he gets and how many hours a week he works. [More…]
I invite him as a man of consummate logic to admit that this is the truth of the matter. [More…]
Another point that has been raised in the manifesto refers to the immediate abolition of the Queensland Acts which keep blacks in a subhuman position. [More…]
It bears a space for the signature of the chairman of the Aboriginal council on the respective reserve. [More…]
I have no quarrel as to whether a council, which is all black, has the right to issue or withdraw or withhold a permit of that nature, but I have a quarrel with the continuation of 2 Acts- one for Torres Strait Islanders and one for Aborigines- which should have been abolished many years ago. [More…]
But it goes further than that because the relevant Act gives the white manager on these reserves the power of veto. [More…]
The manifesto calls also for the immediate introduction of antidiscriminatory legislation throughout Australia. [More…]
No white man, unless he has lived in an Aboriginal atmosphere for many years- it is doubtful even then whether he can fully comprehend the situation- can properly understand the wishes and aspirations of black people. [More…]
Item 6 of the manifesto calls for the immediate recognition of land rights and compensation for land and refers to the fact that any agreements with respect to land should be on the black man’s terms. [More…]
Today I received a lengthy letter from a white man who has been closely associated with Aborigines over a long period of time. [More…]
I refer to a specific case of a man at Babinda who was under-capitalised, even with the aid of a Commonwealth loan, and he now finds himself in serious financial difficulties. [More…]
There are people who distrust white doctors and nurses, with some justification, too, on many occasions. [More…]
This man who is head of a Department has no knowledge of the role of a member of Parliament, nor has he any knowledge or clear understanding of the role of Parliament. [More…]
This man, without any concept of what this place is all about, without any idea of what his Minister’s position was or what his responsibilities were, took this action which I described before and which I refer to again now. [More…]
Is it not unworthy of Australia as a nation to have varying laws affecting the relations between man and man? [More…]
Many a man has gone bankrupt several times in his lifetime. [More…]
Although Queensland has come in for some criticism, I believe that it has led the field in the manner in which it has endeavoured to assist Aboriginal people. [More…]
They had as Minister a man in whom they had faith, whom they trusted and in whom they had hope. [More…]
But the white man again acted without faith in, or thought about, or consultation with the Aboriginal people. [More…]
For heaven’s sake, let us face up to our moral obligations for a start and let us face up to the white man’s problem that has been imposed on the Aborigines. [More…]
I am informed that the Fairfax representative has been withdrawn but has been replaced by a news man from the Channel 7 station in Melbourne, that is the Melbourne ‘Herald ‘ station. [More…]
They are not the words of Senator Bill Brown; they are the words of a man who has some very intimate and detailed experience in this field. [More…]
But more serious than that is the general proposition relating to the manufacture of a product in the Australian Capital Territory, one of the most objectionable things dictated by money that has ever happened to a government in the history of Australia. [More…]
The Australian Agricultural Council recorded a minute in its books that there shall be no manufacture of margarine in the Australian Capital Territory until the next meeting of the Agricultural Council. [More…]
I exonerate him and believe that he is a very honest and truthful man. [More…]
Five weeks before Mr Enderby made a statement one major manufacturing company purchased an establishment in Canberra. [More…]
Three weeks before he, then Minister for the Capital Territory, made an announcement the company set up its entire manufacturing equipment for the manufacture of margarine in the A.C.T. [More…]
I ask: Is the Leader of the Government in the Senate aware of the general hostility and aversion felt by the man in the street, his wife, and the small shopkeeper in particular, to the use of metric units for weights and measures- very different from the general acceptance of decimal currency? [More…]
Also, how many metres are in a cricket pitch? [More…]
It has never thought that a professional man who took an oath of office to carry out the law in accordance with his strict interpretation of it would be influenced in his interpretation of the law by the views of the government that appointed him as a judge. [More…]
Surely it is the most natural thing in the world that the Minister who carries the burden of industry, of labour, should be the man who should be responsible in these matters. [More…]
If this is an Act which should be administered by the Attorney-General, and if the Attorney-General is the man who should represent the public interest, why do you allow the Minister for Labour to appear anywhere in section 1 10? [More…]
It is apparent to us that if the Minister for Labour is administering this Act, he should be the man who throughout carries the heat and burden of the day and the responsi bility for each of these sections. [More…]
We think it is inconsistent and unreal for the Opposition to insist that the AttorneyGeneral should be the man, instead of the Minister for Labour, who carries that responsibility. [More…]
The Government considers that the Minister for Labour should appear, wherever possible, in proceedings before this court because hr is the man solely responsible. [More…]
He is the man in the best position to know what is in the public interest or what should be submitted to the court on the question of public interest. [More…]
a classic case of a man who in a very turbulent period had tasted the fruits of office. [More…]
They were the words of a distinguished AttorneyGeneral, a predecessor of Senator Greenwood and Senator Murphy, a man who was known as Mr Menzies. [More…]
Sir Laurence, a effacing man of few words, displayed a dignity and restraint which was not without its influence on the disputants. [More…]
It is rather like the position when somebody pushes a burglar into a house; the next door neighbour rushes in to help the householder and he is found as guilty as the man who broke into the house. [More…]
He is a man who was, if not directly at least indirectly, responsible for the assassination of Lord Moyne in Cairo and for the hanging of 3 British sergeants during the British mandate in Palestine. [More…]
I cannot say it is disgraceful to murder the Israeli athletes, which it is; but that somehow it is different, it is not, so bad, to murder one of the leading Arab poets” in his own home in Beirut or to capture a man in his home city of Beirut and take him to Israel and, by a most extraordinary distortion of any judicial process, charge him with belonging to an illegal organisation when the organisation was legal in the country in which he lived but illegal in Israel. [More…]
The two super powers are aiding and abetting this bloodbath, this loss of humanitarianism which exists throughout the world towards these people and the loss of all the things which have been built up over a period of years of sacrifice. [More…]
This lifts the situation to the level which man had hoped would never be reached again after the experience of the 1939-45 war and even the war which has just been settled in South East Asia. [More…]
We have constantly asked for a just and lasting peace for the Jewish people after their Gethsemane of Europe. [More…]
Is it a fact that the 4 men who were found guilty of a terrorist assault against a 61-year-old Croatian were referred to in documents tabled by the Attorney-General in March of this year as being associated with the terrorist group called the United Croats of West Germany? [More…]
Is it also a fact that one of the men, Jakov Suljak, was named in the Attorney-General’s statement as the leader of this organisation and a man ‘with a particularly violent record ‘? [More…]
Is it a fact that because of the number of persons thrown out of work as a result of the previous Government’s fiscal policies lost man hours far exceeded the man hours lost by industrial disputes which have occurred in recent months? [More…]
Is it a fact that many of these persons were on the dole for many weeks and, indeed, in some cases for many months? [More…]
-Yes, I believe it is a fact that the number of man hours lost as a result of unemployment exceeded the number of man hours lost as a result of strikes in recent years. [More…]
Unfortunate incidents do occur which create dislocation and loss of man hours. [More…]
My Party believes that that situation could be rectified if we had the power to do so, but the Opposition will not let us have that power and therefore it must take the responsibility for the dislocation and the loss of man hours that is occurring at the present time. [More…]
If they can get 5 big unions like that in a country like Australia, where the average of trade union membership is the highest in the world, and can arrange, as is normally done, for the secretary or man in charge of the amalgamated union to be a communist, they are well on the way to controlling the whole of the economic life of the country. [More…]
If any further vindication of a man’s bona fides as a trade unionist is required, I would like to know it. [More…]
It appeared that with a man who has not been notably libertarian, in the view of those on this side of the chamber- I refer to Mr Malcolm Fraser, who has never struck us as much of a left winger- we had reason to hope, on reading what he said in the other place, that this moderate view was beginning to be in the ascendancy in the Opposition ranks. [More…]
Before we complete the debate on this matter I should like some guidance, preferably from an authoritative man such as Senator Greenwood, as to whether the principle enunciated by Mr Lynch is totally disowned by the Opposition today and whether we can hope that this enlightened view of industrial relations will be the view which will guide the Opposition in the future. [More…]
While the Minister would have the right to refer anything to the industrial court we do acknowledge that as the Bill now stands the Attorney-General is the man responsible for the election of judges. [More…]
I know he has a reputation as a legal man but it is obvious that he is unacquainted with what actually happens in industrial courts. [More…]
What we have said at all times is that you cannot compel a man to sell his labour power. [More…]
A man judges whether he is well done by or ill done by in comparison with someone doing something of a like nature or with what operated before. [More…]
So far from this being expounded from the point of view of land developers, I remember a case in Sydney in which Mr Justice Rich had occasion to comment where a man had a lease of a car park for 3 years and the Commonwealth of that day contended that he had no interest in land, he was making a profitable business from it and his lease was limited to 3 years. [More…]
I can well remember the time of the one man bus dispute in Melbourne when, after penalties had been imposed by the Industrial Court, the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission, first by a commissioner and then by the Full Bench, took off the ban on strikes and limitations of work because it took the view that, in the circumstances, it was unjust that the unions should be penalised. [More…]
There are many of them in the Australian community, even in this day and age. [More…]
So this man continued on under his own resources, but with an increasing medical disability as the years passed. [More…]
A man could have suffered a back injury or a spinal injury during initial training stages at the base camp. [More…]
I remember that a gentleman with an umbrella went to Berchtesgaden in 1938 and came back with the cry: ‘Peace with honour. [More…]
I have met the man, I believe him’. [More…]
There are so many other matters which we could raise and which are unresolved in terms of what the Prime Minister has said. [More…]
It has been said by a leading Asian diplomat that Australia now is the running dog of Chairman Mao. [More…]
I was told not so long ago by a prominent South East Asian diplomat that one of the principal persons in the Government of his country visited China and saw Chairman Mao. [More…]
The subject of recognition was raised and this man said to Chairman Mao that it would help for better relations if China did not interfere in his country. [More…]
He referred to a communist guerrilla organisation and Chairman Mao said that his country did not interfere in that country. [More…]
Chairman Mao said that helping a communist liberation movement was not interference. [More…]
The first is jealousy of a man who has shown that he is a great leader- whether one agrees with his policies or not- and that the whole world believes this. [More…]
The second thing is that so many people are scared of being defeated at the next election that the bed - [More…]
Lee Kuan Yew is a great man. [More…]
It was rather interesting that the allegation should be made that somehow Mr Whitlam is a front man for the Chinese. [More…]
I would have thought that Senator McManus, with his deep interest in these matters and with his theological background, would have been able to explain the matter to us because it is a very complex problem. [More…]
I have lived for many a year amongst the Chinese people and man for man and woman for woman I know no better individual people on God’s earth. [More…]
I acknowledge the Chinese people for their great industry and for their great human understanding, person by person. [More…]
It is a country under the tightest military regime and rule in the world; a country which uses bloody murder and terror to control its people; a country in which its Deputy Premier Lin Piao, the favoured son of Mao Tse-tung and chosen to succeed him, could disappear and the leaders, the Politbureau of China, did not find it necessary to explain to the people of China or to the world what had happened to the second most important man in China. [More…]
1 draw attention to the fact that the Government has as chairman of the present Committee Dr Kenneth McKinnon. [More…]
Wood, Principal of St Michael’s School for the Handicapped just outside Launceston; Mr McNamara, President of the Sydney Federation of Catholic Parents and Friends Associations; Father F. Martin, Director of Catholic Education in Victoria; Mrs J. Kirner, who was selected from a panel of names presented by the Australian Council of State School Organisations; Mr Ray Costello, President of the Queensland Teachers Union; Mr Albert Jones, Director of Education in South Australia; Dr Peter Tannock, a young man who is Dean of the Faculty of Education in the University of Western Australia; and Mrs J. Blackburn, who has been an outstanding member of teachers college staffs in South Australia. [More…]
Then there are to be 3 other members of whom one shall be appointed by the Episcopal Conference, which was adverted to by Senator Wheeldon and in respect of which there would be very grave constitutional doubt because, as he has pointed out, it has not been approved by Archbishop Cahill, I think it is, who is the man most qualified to speak in this area. [More…]
A distinction between the free man and the slave is a right to give or to withhold his labour. [More…]
But it will be a very sad day if we lose the services of religious institutions and those people who may be interested in attending to the welfare of their fellow man because they are not given the encouragement which is given to government-provided instrumentalities. [More…]
Although I was originally a Capital Hill man, I have been persuaded by the report of both the Joint Select Committee on the New and Permanent Parliament House and the National Capital Development Commission, which is entitled to be respected because of its knowledge of town planning and architecture, to change my opinion. [More…]
Whether or not the amendment has been properly brought in- it was moved by Senator Prowse only 10 minutes or so ago- we now find that Senator Byrne, a man of great erudition who has taken a terrific interest in this question, has foreshadowed another amendment. [More…]
Welcoming the Leader of the Government’s flush of information, I ask him: Will he state why the former Federal Secretary of the Australian Labor Party, Mr Michael Young, a man whose main claim to fame is that he is the Mr Fixer of the Labor Party, has been put on the Government payroll at a reported salary of $ 1 7,000? [More…]
How many other functionaries of the Labor Party may the highly taxed people of this country expect to receive similar endowment from the public purse? [More…]
-As is well known, Mr Young is a man of considerable administrative and other abilities. [More…]
However, I think that many of his colleagues might resent his suggesting that this matter be further inquired into. [More…]
I believe that those are the facts and I believe that there are many more instances. [More…]
That illustrates that in this instance the complaint by the Opposition is about the appointment of a successful man to a post, whereas the Opposition’s history was generally one of appointing persons who had been defeated in elections. [More…]
He mentioned Mr Ray Costello, President of the Queensland Teachers Union- and we would allow for 2 such persons; Mr Albert Jones, Director of Education in South Australia who is, of course, capable of being appointed by the Australian Education Council; Dr Peter Tannock, a young man who is Dean of the Faculty of Education in the University of Western Australiaagain capable of being categorised; and Mrs J. Blackburn, who has been an outstanding member of teachers’ college staffs in South Australia. [More…]
At Ryde, Sydney, along with many other schools which are still suffering, there is a school called the Australian International Independence School. [More…]
Its headmaster is a retired state school headmasterBill Eason- a man of great vision who had a tremendous reputation as headmaster of Kuringgai High School. [More…]
Mr Pettingell, a man who has been talked about a lot in this place within the last couple of days, was reported at page 1773 as having said: [More…]
The next man I intend to quote is known to pretty well everyone here, particularly the legal men who decorate this chamber. [More…]
Those are strong words from such a learned man. [More…]
It is well known to everyone here, I think, that in a case in the High Court against a fisherman who operated off the coast of New South Wales- the La Macchia case, if I might refer to it as such- a former Federal Attorney-General and now Chief Justice of Australia, Sir Garfield Barwick, concluded that the Commonwealth had sovereign jurisdiction from the low-water mark. [More…]
The medical tribunal of this Government and the Government itself adopted the very fees put forward by the AMA which all last year and at the beginning of this year the Labor Party used as the bogey man to frighten the people. [More…]
A great deal is said to the effect that the present scheme is wrong because a man on $70 a week pays more for health insurance than a man on $400 a week. [More…]
A man on $70 a week gross, allowing for ordinary deductions, pays in a whole year direct tax of about $340. [More…]
A man on $400 a week gross, allowing for normal deductions, pays $8,000 tax a year on the ordinary tax scale. [More…]
One man pays $330 or $340; the other pays $8,000. [More…]
It is right that the second man should pay $8,000 because of his capacity to pay. [More…]
The Government would then level it up so that the man on $70 would pay the same as the man on $400. [More…]
The Premier of Western Australia is probably a very persuasive man and a very outstanding Premier. [More…]
He said this: The rabid Party man likes to govern unfettered. [More…]
One of our newspapers in Tasmania had something to say about the position. [More…]
It was speaking about this same mandate which the Government seems to think gives it a right to shove through legislation at whatever rate it thinks fit. [More…]
No man in his right mind can justify this sort of expenditure. [More…]
A man would need a reading machine to get through a fraction of what is coming into his office these days. [More…]
I have always called it shickery art because I think that people who paint in this manner must be a bit under the weather. [More…]
It has been made clear from contributions that we have had in this place- the man who makes this assertion insists that he is right- that Pollock, with the support of a cobber, walked about in a drunken stupor, stamped on paint on a canvas and ultimately produced the painting ‘Blue Poles’. [More…]
I know that all manner of statements have been made, including the comment that the man who sold it would like to buy it back. [More…]
We are no longer a middle power firmly associated in ideology and integrity with the western approach but have become the running dogs of Chairman Mao or, if not Chairman Mao, the running dogs of the so-called third world. [More…]
That statement proves that the present Prime Minister is politically untrustworthy, politically unreliable and a man upon whose word politically no account can be taken. [More…]
The Prime Minister is so purblind on China- this description of him was given to me by a senior Labor man- that it would not have surprised me if the Prime Minister had brought back from China the No. [More…]
Chou En-lai, a man who has murdered 16 men- not killed them in battle- and Chairman Mao who, on his own admission, is responsible for the death of 20 million of his own people are the two to whom I refer. [More…]
Was Adolf Hitler, whom all of us regard as the embodiment of all evil, a man whose ideas are to be shunned and criticised, evil only because he lost? [More…]
Chairman Mao and his boys embody the same evils, the same brutality and the same tyranny. [More…]
He said: ‘I have two of the most terrible photographs that any man could have in his possession. [More…]
The masses came, yelled for blood and condemned her to death, and without a trial her head was lopped off by a swordsman in the public street. [More…]
This is the method, the tyranny and the type of disgrace to humanity by which Chairman Mao and his friends have come to power. [More…]
In art, as in other areas, man does not live by bread alone. [More…]
In the last two or three elections we have not been able to get the numbers to send one man here although we had held that seat for many years. [More…]
When Senator Milliner has reached the stature that Senator Little has attained in this House he will feel a very proud man. [More…]
In actual fact he indicated that it was unfair that one man should have to represent so great an area. [More…]
The red headband symbolises the blood that has been spread by Aborigines over a period of many years. [More…]
I think it is very regrettable that this man should have adopted this attitude. [More…]
Whether Senator Wright likes it or not, the white man’s problem in relation to the Aboriginal cause is a national one. [More…]
The man who has grown 40,000 bushels of apples, picked them, sprayed them and transported them to the wharf” has a terrific wage bill. [More…]
These orchardists have overdrafts and are now paying interest at the new fangled rate that has been manufactured by the Labor Government of 8.5 per cent to 9.5 per cent. [More…]
Many of them are still unpaid even the revaluation compensation on up to 1,500 bushels. [More…]
They said that such action was the very opposite to what the working man wanted. [More…]
They said that he was an individual who wanted to see direct taxes applied on the basis that if a man received a small income he should pay little tax. [More…]
If a man received a large income he should be taxed more heavily. [More…]
We find that the cost of those consumer products which the labouring man in our society appears to enjoy- for instance, cigarettes and beer- has been escalated quite significantly by the impost of new customs duties on items such as cigarettes, tobacco, petrol and even diesel fuel. [More…]
I would suggest that there is no area of manufacture or transport which has not had to increase its prices since the introduction of this government impost. [More…]
This is the very man who has been hit by increased interest rates. [More…]
It will bring it about by any means and, if it means bringing it about to the detriment of the working man, that is what it will do. [More…]
If he wishes to own a vehicle, the Government will see that the interest rates become so high that the cost of owning vehicles- and homes also- is something that the average working man will not be able to afford. [More…]
It will raise the cost of transport and fuel to such an extent that the average working man will not be able to afford to keep his vehicle. [More…]
But here we see Bills being brought in to the harm of the ordinary working man, and I say that they spell shame, as do many other items in present Labor policy, for their effect on the Australian working man. [More…]
They are in direct defiance of the mandate which it was given. [More…]
It has posed as the Party of the little man- the Party of the lower and lower-middle income earners- and has said that it would do nothing to hurt them and everything to help them. [More…]
Only the little, man, because the richer man can afford to pay. [More…]
I am still a ‘Bill ‘ man, if I may classify myself as such. [More…]
Now we find some Liberal Party members claiming to be the champions of the little man. [More…]
They hope that if they repeat often enough their claim that we are penalising the poor widows and the poor outback man somebody may believe them enough to cast a vote for them at the next election. [More…]
I think that a senator who so abuses the privilege of the Federal Parliament, without notice to a man who has submitted his whole reputation on this very matter to the scrutiny of the Supreme Court of New South Wales within the last fortnight, and expects the Press of the country to be so depraved in principle as to print prominent accusations of this sort a day before an election, so timed as to prevent the person accused having any real right of reply, is acting in an abysmally depraved manner. [More…]
But to come forward with simply innuendo and allegation in the face of categorical denial by the man he is accusing is quite insufficient. [More…]
Before the crackdown, a man known to his colleagues as ‘Mr Sin’ - [More…]
A man pointed a revolver at me, through the window, where we were standing. [More…]
That man’s spleen was removed. [More…]
If Senator Wright can sit there, coming from Tasmania as he does - [More…]
According to this man, who is lying in St Vincent’s Hospital in a very serious physical condition, when the police came along he was told to merely get a taxi and go home. [More…]
Nowhere in that entire paragraph is there a demand that from the panels submitted to the Minister a representative should be chosen in the way that, for example, a senator is chosen or a man from a constituency is chosen for the House of Representatives. [More…]
I can find only one who could fit into that category, and that is a man called Albert Jones. [More…]
Again, if we look through the list that I read we see that there are 2 people there who may be put into this categorybut only if being a Roman Catholic fits the bill. [More…]
The Roman Catholics on this Committee were not nominated by the Episcopal Conference. [More…]
At no stage did I say that being a member of a pressure group would disqualify a man or woman from membership of the Schools Commission. [More…]
It may, in its honest belief, say that person A is the best man for this job because he is highly qualified in special education of handicapped children. [More…]
When will the Department of Civil Aviation cease to man the flight services at Flinders Island. [More…]
In view of an accusation by the Prime Minister that a man who is said to be a sober member of Parliament was drunk, can the Leader advise me of the redress which I would have in the Senate if, after the next parliamentary function, the Prime Minister in Parliament accused me of being drunk, despite the fact that I never go beyond drinking pineapple juice, lemonade or orangeade? [More…]
I suppose that when a man finds a wife acceptable it would be assumed that he also finds her desirable. [More…]
I am not having a shot at members of the Australian Country Party when I say that some of the wealthy old boys of these private schools who had big estates in the western districts of New South Wales have made bequests to those schools; but I do not know of any gas worker or railway man who could or ever did make a bequest to schools such as Burwood Christian Brothers or Ashfield De La Salle. [More…]
It was written by an Aboriginal person who left the small Aboriginal community of Purgan which is outside Ipswich at a time when it was very difficult for an Aborigine to do many things for himself. [More…]
This man worked hard, established himself and became one of the first Aboriginal licensed drainers in Australia. [More…]
With the permission of the Senate I would like to read this letter which was sent also to many other responsible people. [More…]
That letter shows the interest of a man who has done a great deal of work amongst the Aboriginal people not only around Ipswich and Brisbane but also Cherbourg where he goes quite frequently and helps a lot of people. [More…]
But there are too many Aboriginal organisations. [More…]
This has been the white man’s plan for years and years- to keep black people divided. [More…]
In Queensland at one time there were up to 40 of them, and God only knows how many exist in various other States. [More…]
The big problem that Aborigines and Islanders have had to face is that they have not been able to unite and fight a common cause, because the white man has consistently kept them divided. [More…]
They believe that the white man has achieved nothing for the black people of Australia because of the fact that they are not understood and that we do not recognise them as a proud race who need special handling. [More…]
A campaign is now under way urging that the Department of Aboriginal Affairs should be controlled purely by Aboriginals, that no white man should be in the Department because white men do not understand Aborigines. [More…]
It is obvious that an inspired campaign has been conducted by a man, who is said to be an Aboriginal, against the holding of this ballot. [More…]
Now we are told that in some cases the police do not know where the owners are and that in many cases the material is being retained- at a time when we are about to discuss civil rights, I would like honourable senators to note. [More…]
This man said that the police took not only personal effects and photographs but also his account books for the business which he was running, his cheque book, his bank book and all kinds of property. [More…]
But because we had our meeting in Melbourne ASIO descended upon the Polish Chairman. [More…]
I merely mention that because later on we will have an opportunity of debating the Bill on human rights. [More…]
To my way of thinking a man is a murderer whether he is black, vhite , brown or brindle. [More…]
The very man who accuses the Press of telling lies now brings forward what it says as gospel. [More…]
I heard him say that Mr Zvogbo was a man who had gone across the border into Southern Rhodesia and murdered people. [More…]
As a result of a question which Senator Greenwood asked me last night I asked Mr Zvogbo whether he had been in gaol, how many times he had been in gaol and all about the matter. [More…]
Last night when I said that there was no proof of this man being a terrorist, or words to that effect, Senator Greenwood interjected and said that this man had been in gaol. [More…]
That is the only thing I have ever put on record about this man. [More…]
We have so many examples of this that it is not necessary for me to reiterate them to show precisely how the capacity of the world to produce can be expanded by the application of the knowledge and the ingenuity of which man is capable. [More…]
An under populated Australia is a curse to mankind and the whole world. [More…]
In this modern day and age, with all the scientific aids available to man to determine things, such as computers and calculators, in this great building in New York, commissioned in 1 958, there was a 400,000 square feet deficiency in space within a matter of a few years. [More…]
I think it is largely a matter of custom that the Senate side of Parliament House is under the control of the President and the House of Representatives side is under the control of the Speaker and that the intermediate area of King’s Hall is a no man’s land in which no problem arises if lack of agreement should exist. [More…]
That clause was also inserted, knowing that King’s Hall has been regarded by some- whether individual opinions or authentic opinions, I know not- as no man’s land. [More…]
Mr President, we may say that here is a man who lived life well. [More…]
If ever a man lived life to the full, enjoyed what he was doing, gave of his best, kept his interest in life, in education, in learning and contributing right to the end of his life it was John Johnstone Dedman. [More…]
I associate the Opposition with the words of the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Murphy) and his message of condolence to Mrs Dedman and her family. [More…]
For many men in public office, one action or one label can overshadow much of the good they have done. [More…]
John Dedman was such a man. [More…]
I join with the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Murphy) and the Leader of the Opposition (Senator Withers) in associating the Australian Country Party with the motion of condolence and with the tributes that have been paid to John Dedman. [More…]
Twenty-five years ago he was a most unpopular man by any judgment and in the eyes of the community. [More…]
That generation, with no small degree of bitterness, was quick to call John Dedman ‘Mr Austerity’. [More…]
It is unfortunate that a man who made many major and enduring contributions to Australia’s advancement was remembered best for the less important decisions. [More…]
The calibre and quality of the man have no identification with the undeserved nom-de-plume. [More…]
John Dedman ‘s frequent visits to Parliament House in recent years enabled many present-day senators and members of the House of Representatives to make his close acquaintance. [More…]
They were spoken of the real John Dedman, and I believe that he deserved each one of them. [More…]
I believe Australia can be proud of the memory not only of John Dedman the Government Minister but also of John Dedman the citizen and the man. [More…]
I am pleased to associate my Party and myself with the motion of condolence, and I extend sympathy to Mrs Dedman and her family. [More…]
I was associated with John Dedman on the Executive of the Victorian Branch of the Australian Labor Party and I had also something to do with his later electoral campaigns. [More…]
He was a very honourable man as he showed in one action. [More…]
At the time of the unfortunate division in the Victorian Labor Party an allegation was made against me and others that the full weight of the Party’s support had not been put behind John Dedman in Corio. [More…]
I think that action of John Dedman shows what an honourable man he was. [More…]
I have very happy memories of John Dedman and I join with all the others who have expressed sympathy with the relatives of a man who was a great servant of his country. [More…]
-I would like to add my tribute to the late John Dedman. [More…]
As Senator McManus would know, I was active on John Dedman ‘s campaign committees for a number of years. [More…]
He was always a man of great integrity and I believe that the philosophy and orientation that I have in politics are mainly due to the influence that John Dedman had on me in my early years in the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
Right up until the last week that he was in this building he took a keen interest in the seat of Corio and he was always seeking information about the many friends that he still had living in the electorate. [More…]
Both John and Mrs Dedman were very great [More…]
I associate myself with the motion of condolence on the death of John Johnstone Dedman. [More…]
I am the only senator in this place today who was a contemporary of John Dedman when he was in the Parliament. [More…]
John Dedman was one of the rare people in Australian public life. [More…]
He was a man with very high ideals who had the opportunity to implement them. [More…]
During war time, with its pressures and with the enemy at our very gates, the Australian as a rule felt that he wanted to carry on his ordinary life as much as possible and John Dedman as the Minister had the odious task of arranging for people to do the jobs which were most effective and would do the most good for our country in war time. [More…]
The payment is payable to a man who exports 5,000 cases even though he has property worth $lm; that was conceded in the Estimates Committee debate on this subject. [More…]
Consider the case of the man who deals not only in apples but also in beef. [More…]
Man is both creature and moulder of his environment which gives him physical sustenance and affords him the opportunity for intellectual, moral, social and spiritual growth. [More…]
In the long and tortuous evolution of the human race on this planet a stage has been reached when through the rapid acceleration of science and technology, man has acquired the power to transform his environment in countless ways and on an unprecedented scale. [More…]
Both aspects of man’s environment, the natural and the man-made, are essential to the well-being and to the enjoyment of basic human rights- even the right to life itself. [More…]
Man has constantly to sum up experience and go on discovering, inventing, creating and advancing. [More…]
In our time man’s capability to transform his surroundings, if used wisely, can bring to all peoples the benefits of development and the opportunity to enhance the quality of life. [More…]
Wrongly or heedlessly applied, the same power can do incalculable harm to human beings and the human environment. [More…]
We see around us growing evidence of man-made harm in many regions of the earth: dangerous levels of pollution in water, air, earth and living beings; major and undesirable disturbances to the ecological balance of the biosphere; destruction and depletion of irreplaceable resources; and gross deficiencies harmful to the physical, mental and social health of man, in the man-made environment; particularly in the living and working environment. [More…]
Largely this is a State responsibility, but unfortunately not all States are mindful of the great moral and legal responsibility placed upon them to protect this part of man’s environment. [More…]
Man is both creature and moulder of his environment which gives him physical sustenance and alfords him the opportunity for intellectual, moral, social and spiritual growth. [More…]
In the long and tortuous evolution of the human race on this planet a stage has been reached when through the rapid acceleration of science and technology, man has acquired the power to transform his environment in countless ways and on an unprecedented scale. [More…]

We see around us growing evidence of man-made harm in many regions of the earth: dangerous levels of pollution in water, air, earth and living beings; major and undesirable disturbances to the ecological balance of the biosphere; destruction and depletion of irreplaceable resources; and gross deficiences harmful to the physical, mental and social health of man, in the man-made environment; particularly in the living and working environment. [More…]
It is the people that propel social progress, create social wealth, develop science and technology and through their hard work, continuously transform the human environment. [More…]
Along with social progress and the advance of production, science and technology the capability of man to improve the environment increases with each passing day. [More…]
Conversely, through fuller knowledge and wiser action, we can achieve for ourselves and our posterity a better life in an environment more in keeping with human needs and hopes. [More…]
For the purpose of attaining freedom in the world of nature, man must use knowledge to build in collaboration with nature a better environment. [More…]
To defend and improve the human environment for present and future generations has become an imperative goal for mankind- a goal to be pursued together with, and in harmony with, the established and fundamental goals of peace and of world-wide economic and social development. [More…]
Which laws govern a man when he goes for a swim, or goes out in his boat when he wants to do a bit of fishing and things like that are of concern to him. [More…]
I could not think of a smaller and more petty Australian than a man from Wollongong in New South Wales who thinks that a Western Australian or Queenslander would believe that the off-shore area of Western Australia or Queensland is an extention of the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
Man is starting to come to grips with his environment, yet people still want to think as their forebears did that the earth is flat. [More…]
A few years ago I discussed this matter with a man associated with the shipping of oil. [More…]
Only a little over a week ago I attended a Comalco function in Brisbane and a gentleman associated with the transport of oil in shipping said to me exactly the same thing. [More…]
I am here in this States House as a States man and I will stand for the rights of the States in this matter and vote against this legislation. [More…]
When working for a man who was quite a singular man, I remember his saying to me: ‘Bob, in so many of the things one is involved in, the real asset of the corporation is never shown, and that asset is the skill, the wit and the training of the people who are involved.’ [More…]
He is an admirable man and I like him very much. [More…]
I think that he has been recognised as a man with a vast understanding of the industrial complexities of our country and the movements of prices and wages. [More…]
I know also that it is generally recognised that the Australian Government does not have the legislative powers which would enable it properly to manage the economy of the country. [More…]
I think that there would be very few people- I trust that the honourable senator is not amongst them- who would think that the Commonwealth Government ought not to be given the powers per medium of the Australian Parliament to take the administrative action pursuant to laws made by this Parliament which would enable us to curb inflation and to manage the economy properly. [More…]
I asked one Labor man why the Prime Minister had chosen a Cabinet of two. [More…]
I can remember sitting in this place on many occasions and listening to the Opposition. [More…]
When Senator Durack stood up to move this motion he was nothing more than the mouthpiece of Sir Charles Court, the great development man built up in Western Australia. [More…]
He is the great man who took advantage of the lifting of the embargo on the export of iron ore. [More…]
But I have found that if you address a high school audience or a university campus audience the people listening to you are not interested in whether you are a Victorian or a New South Welshman. [More…]
I wish to pay a tribute to a man who is no longer a Minister. [More…]
Nowhere is this no-man’s land of lost opportunity more exemplified than it is in the field of water pollution. [More…]
But this is the same man who would grovel on his belly if there were a threat to the north tomorrow and ask the Federal Government for patrol boats or something else to protect him. [More…]
The Parliament and Government that can control the price of beef, control the price of motor cars, fix the price of boot leather and fix the price of calico can enforce its sovereignty in every field of man’s activities. [More…]
It is quite obvious, of course, that if one has power to say that parliamentary salaries shall be $2,000 a year one will have a considerable impact upon parliamentarians, and every other section of the community will understand that so directly when it is applied to them that they will know pretty well, whether a person is a wage earner, a doctor, a plumber, an electrical tradesman or engaged in any other field of life, that if the bureaucrat under the control of Mr Whitiam and his Government has the right to fix their incomes it will be a pretty severe and rigid system under which we are living whereby Canberra instead of local and State governments operate to effect people ‘s livelihoods. [More…]
We find from the evidence presented to this Senate Committee that many of these overseas companies that were bringing funds into Australia to develop our resources were raising much of their money on the local market whereas the Australian Industry Development Corporation was able to raise only a certain amount in Australia. [More…]
These people included Mr Bunning, a business man from Western Australia, Mr Leonard, who is well known as the Manager of Ampol Petroleum Ltd, Sir George Fisher, who for many years was the Managing Director and Chairman of Directors of Mount Isa Mines Ltd, a most successful mining operation, Sir Colin Syme, formerly of the Broken Hill Pty Co. Ltd, Sir Charles McGrath of the Repco Company and chairman of some 20 other companies, and Sir John Dunlop of the Bank of New South Wales. [More…]
No man can serve 2 masters. [More…]
I would say that to a man in that position $1 1 would be a considerable amount. [More…]
A man on $1 1,000 a year would pay the maximum under the scheme that the Minister is proposing; that is, $ 1 50. [More…]
So, he would not pay very much more than a man with an income of only $5,200 a year. [More…]
In the high tax bracket, a man with an income of $20,000 a year would pay up to 60c in the dollar in tax. [More…]
He would pay $ 1 5 a year less than the man on $11,000 a year. [More…]
The argument of the Government in the White Paper is that all this is not justified under the old scheme because a man on $20,000, as well as paying tax amounting to $8,448 as against $3,388 paid in tax by the man on $11,000, should saddle up and carry a greater burden in regard to the health scheme as well. [More…]
That man will be paying completely for his child’s education if he sends his child to an expensive private school. [More…]
It was either the action of an enormously arrogant man who refuses to share his secrets about these questions with the people who have to pay- all that we are after is an explanation to the people who have to pay- or he does not know his job as a Minister in the Government and as the man responsible to answer questions to the people. [More…]
Let us look at the case of a man with a wife who is working. [More…]
Let us assume that this man receives $5,000 a year and pays $70 to his hospital benefits fund. [More…]
Let us assume that that man’s wife is working and receiving a modest salary for female labour these days. [More…]
Let us consider again the case of the man in the higher income group to which I referred before, the man with an income of $20,000 who is paying tax at a rate of 60c in the dollar. [More…]
Security must be an enormously arrogant man. [More…]
This unemployment benefit is at present and in future will be a disincentive for a young man to get out and get into the hurly burly of life. [More…]
There is no indication to the community at what price a product was sold to the middle man. [More…]
In the past few months cotton textiles have been in extremely short supply and there has been a shortage also of many items of wearing apparel and household goods. [More…]
I know of one man in the rural sector who, wanting his farm machinery overhauled in preparation for the sowing of his crop, was told by the people who had been doing this work for him every year that it was of no use their overhauling his machinery as they could not get replacements for faulty parts. [More…]
The statement reported in the Press this morning was made by a man who should know something about it, a former Minister for National Development and, if what he says is so, it is a serious business at a time when the Arab world has cornered and proposes to use its production of oil as an international weapon. [More…]
I am a private enterprise man. [More…]
I remember that just after the Budget came on a storekeeper told me that a man walked in and he was furious. [More…]
It seems to me that this man ‘s efforts to discuss his attitude to what could well be very good promotion of tourism in Australia have been thwarted by a non-acceptance by the Minister of a request to discuss these matters with him. [More…]
I raise this matter as one of concern expressed to me by this man. [More…]
The man who pays for that long term credit arrangement is the wheat grower. [More…]
(This is in the context that a family consisting of a man, wife and one child and earning the minimum wage (currently $60.10 a week) should not be liable to pay the levy; [More…]
For a man with a wife and two children, this would represent on average a gross income of around $ 1 3,500 a year. [More…]
I am not able to answer all the honourable senator’s questions but the main burden of them seems to be that the gentleman in question is being prevented from leaving Australia. [More…]
There may well be circumstances why those responsible for the issuance of passports take the view that this man should not be issued with a passport. [More…]
But I am on record in this Senate over many years as having been very critical of the activities of the Special Advisory Authority. [More…]
Therefore I think that his views should be taken as the views of a man who knows the job. [More…]
That same man had directed Professor Karmel that this was not to be the situation. [More…]
The Minister is a man with an incredible twist of mind if he is prepared to say that. [More…]
But another man says that he will send his son to a private school at which he has to pay $1,000 or, the way fees are going up, $1,500 a year’. [More…]
We also did not get anything from Senator McManus. [More…]
I can only conclude from the fact that there was no repetition of this threat this afternoon that the Opposition and perhaps the Australian Democratic Labor Party are in headlong retreat from the barricades which they were prepared to man last week and that they are attempting to cover this retreat with a torrent of words about alleged broken promises. [More…]
Of course, if we are in some sort of a contest about consistency and if we are to be involved in saying that we are held to what one of our Ministers who was in conflict with another Minister has said, I think we are entitled to ask Senator Rae today whether he is the spokesman for the Opposition on education matters or whether the spokesman is a man in another place who is alleged to be the spokesman on labour relations and who has made extraordinary progress lately, I have noted, in his words on labour relations. [More…]
Since this man drank S cans of beer during our discussion, I very much doubt he could remember what he said in any case. [More…]
Senator James Webster, newly stabbed by his Liberal allies, prides himself on being a cautious man. [More…]
He is the man that Senator Webster upholds. [More…]
He is the man who wants to prevent the people of Darwin building houses on land of a reasonable price. [More…]
It surprises me that Senator Wright, who is a legal man with a long history of declaring himself to be a person of fact and of honour should defend the deplorable case which Senator Webster put to the Senate tonight. [More…]
Like Senator Drake-Brockman I am going to be all sweetness and light so far as these Bills are concerned. [More…]
I congratulate the Minister for Education, Mr Kim Beazley, who, even though we have caused him some trouble over the past couple of weeks, we all acknowledge is a man who has a very fine outlook in regard to education. [More…]
He is a very broad minded man and one who is determined to do all he can to improve the status of education in this country. [More…]
Many provisions in the Bills which are before us are anathema to me as one who believes in promoting and encouraging productivity and as one who believes in encouraging the little man to work hard and to aspire to a better place in the sun. [More…]
I would do so purely on the basic business principle of the need to encourage production and to give the small man a fair go. [More…]
It has been said by Senator McManus and Senator Maunsell that the rural industries have been hit to leg by the provisions of this legislation. [More…]
I shall read more of the letter to define more clearly to honourable senators the whole meaning of the promise given and the repudiation since then of a promise which was given in good faith by a man who I believe to be genuinely interested in the wellbeing of the industry. [More…]
He said this in reply to an article appearing in an earlier edition of the Adelaide ‘News’ written by Professor P. G. H. Strehlow, a professor of linguistics at the Adelaide University and one who had been engaged very actively in Aboriginal welfare through many years. [More…]
Professor Strehlow was born at Hermannsburg mission in the centre of Australia and he grew up with the Aranda tribe. [More…]
He is a very knowledgeable man and is most knowledgeable in all matters pertaining to Aboriginal welfare. [More…]
He is also a man of deep understanding and dedication to these people. [More…]
He points out that in many instances moneys are being devoted not to the benefit of the Aborigines but to administering schemes in a proportion which is far in excess of that which should apply. [More…]
The previous Minister for Aboriginal Affairs who is the present Minister for the Capital Territory (Mr Bryant), was a very generous man and a man who sought in a very real way the betterment of the Aborigines. [More…]
The members of the Yirrkala tribe were a happy, contented, proud people before they came into contact with the white man. [More…]
They were poisoned with the belief that if they had to be like the white man they should do what the white man does. [More…]
As they were members of what was once such a happy and proud race, I was wondering whether it would not be better to use the expression ‘the varying stages of their degeneration until they eventually got down to the level of the white man’s commecial way of living in the cities of the various States and the drinking of his poison’. [More…]
As a business man I would not commit myself to being able to accomplish that miracle in any industry or in any business project today. [More…]
Mrs Whitlam replied to it.Thetopreal estate man in that community said that, the price was $14,000 too high. [More…]
Whatever state a member is in- I never reflect upon a man ‘s state- whether it can be said that the Prime Minister was snarling at the individual or not, it was over and forgotten. [More…]
This is a man we have so long admired. [More…]
I am surprised that a man who claims to be a mature senator could get so upset by what was said here today. [More…]
I simply repeat what I said yesterday: In Dr Cairns you have a man who has been deeply involved in the whole question of the Vietnam war right from its early stages. [More…]
The effect of all this will be the payment of an extra $80 to $125 for a family man in Australia if he wishes to have the coverage which is at present available to him for private wards. [More…]
I am sure honourable senators will remember the embarrassing confessions before the recent medical fees tribunal about the rather huge error of many millions of dollars which was made in calculating costs. [More…]
The system operating in Belgium provided for a 5-man tribunal that assessed the wants of the contributors. [More…]
The same thing could have happened to a rubber worker, a railway man or some junior or elderly executive. [More…]
Some medical man or representative of a hospital fund, speaking in a very highfalutin voice, said: ‘It is not on the chart; you have to pick up the tab for the difference.’ [More…]
When a man, his wife or children suffer from some illness they will know that they are covered for the expenses incurred. [More…]
I make no apology for that because of the illustrations I gave in regard to myself and the way that many other people have been gypped. [More…]
A man earning that salary will pay tax of $1,080. [More…]
That man will pay to the Government’s scheme, if his wife is not working, $74.25. [More…]
He cannot have his own doctor unless he insures for private hospital treatment and it is estimated, by the Government spokesman, I understand, that it will cost him another $100 a year. [More…]
Of course, if the man’s wife is working for a salary of only $50 a week, she will pay something, although the Minister told me here that she will pay nothing at all. [More…]
We are on the verge of equal pay for the sexes and not many women will be working for $50 a week. [More…]
Yet the Government senators say that they are for the little man. [More…]
The Labor Party is for the little man? [More…]
Senator McAuliffe from Queensland who mentioned the man on $8,000 a year will sit in silence and listen to what he will pay. [More…]
In no mean manner he has challenged this Government’s credibility in its attitude towards this Health Insurance Bill. [More…]
He used that document to defame in no uncertain manner the legislative measures which are before this Parliament When challenged to produce that document he refused to do so. [More…]
I did not think I would live to see the day when among the elected representatives of the people, one of those charged with implementing democracy in this country, let alone a man in the highest office of the land, the Senate of this Parliament- [More…]
Man and wife will be taxed, if both of them work, to finance a scheme that I feel could well get out of control. [More…]
One of the major complaints that I hear time and time again as I travel around Tasmania- which I have been doing a lot of lately- from the ordinary man in the street is that the Government is overspending. [More…]
The Government is allowing taxation to creep up and up like a consuming cancer, which has already eaten the drive and enthusiasm out of many of our best workers. [More…]
It has been the envy of many countries. [More…]
Mr Detwiller, who is a very well qualified man, said that the Australian health scheme had a lot going for it. [More…]
It is rather interesting to note that if a wealthy man sends his child to a state school his wealth does not matter because the Government provides all the schooling. [More…]
I have been impressed by overseas developments, with which many honourable senators will be familiar, that have discarded the traditional conservative approach to legal aid and have set up ‘storefront’ offices in cities and country areas where lawyers are few and problems are great. [More…]
I want them to be the kind of offices to which the ordinary man or woman faced with a legal problem will go as readily as he or she would go to the garage with an ailing motor car. [More…]
I do not pass comment about the very many matters of major import to which inadequate time and attention have been given. [More…]
There is not adequate time to probe, to ask questions, to search for information and really to consider whether the concept is best given expression by vesting all authority for this Institute in one man and by giving to that one man wide powers to create his staff, to employ consultants and to devise as he goes along the objectives which are set out. [More…]
I think it is fair for these matters to be devised by the man who ultimately is selected to be the Director, rather than to wait, work out a program and hope that the man who is appointed will find that he agrees with what has been prepared. [More…]
I acknowledge the recanting of the great Coke after he had been responsible for the execution of Raleigh, a man who fought for his rights in the House of Commons, as indeed the honourable senator is doing in this chamber. [More…]
But fancy having to withdraw the word ‘nitpicking’ in this place, particularly in relation to Senator Wright who is the most abusive man who has ever stood in this chamber. [More…]
I think it is a matter of personal opinion as to whether one thinks one is being praised or not in being called the most abusive man in the chamber. [More…]
However, I will say that he is not the most abusive man ever to have been in this Parliament. [More…]
Honourable senators would wish me, I hope, on the occasion of the election of a new Chairman of Committees to make some observations on the retirement of Senator Prowse, who resigned his place as a senator on 3 1 December last year. [More…]
He gave assiduous attention to the duties of the office to which he was called by honourable senators, who will readily agree that in his role either as Chairman of Committees or as Acting President from time to time he displayed an impartiality which, I hope, will continue to be a tradition of this place. [More…]
I do not want this occasion to pass without recording that Senator Prowse was devoted to his duties and obligations as a senator and above all an honest man in the discharge of his duties as Chairman of Committees. [More…]
He was a gentle and good man. [More…]
The Australian Democratic Labor Party desires to be associated with this tribute to our previous Chairman of Committees, Edgar Prowse. [More…]
But when one got to know him one found that he was a very kindly and friendly man with, at times, an impish sense of humour. [More…]
I think he will always be remembered for one thing in particular and that is the amendment which he moved which determined our recommendation in relation to the site of a new and permanent Parliament House. [More…]
I have spent many hours in his office and he has willingly given me much help and information. [More…]
I feel that he is a man with whom we all should be very proud to have been associated. [More…]
by leave- On behalf of the Liberal senators in this place I congratulate Senator Webster on his election as Chairman of Committees. [More…]
We know him to be a man of high intelligence who will certainly work at the job. [More…]
He ought to make an excellent Chairman of Committees because- I do not think he will mind me saying this at this opportunity- he has probably tested every standing order in the book and therefore should know them inside out. [More…]
We have always known the honorable senator to be a fearless debater and we know he will be a fearless and impartial Chairman of Committees. [More…]
Senator McCallum served on the Joint Committee on the Australian Capital Territory from 1957 and as a Temporary Chairman of Committees from 1951 to 1955. [More…]
He is well remembered as a kindly and forthright man with strong views on a number of subjects. [More…]
As a very young man- I was a little ambitious in my early twenties- I attended lectures on economic subjects on 2 nights a week for a couple of years. [More…]
However, I did have the opportunity of meeting the man several times after he left the Parliament, and the more one met him the better one got to know him. [More…]
He was a man who gave of his professional talents to the community and, in time of war, to the nation. [More…]
I know that was one thing of which he was proud, and I think he would be proud that in the Parliament today there are so many who bear that name. [More…]
He was a man of gentle disposition. [More…]
I have had a discussion with the Chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Commission, Professor Richard Downing, who was appointed Chairman by this Government last July and whom I regard as a very fair and impartial man. [More…]
Mr F. H. Moy, the principal hostage in the 90-minute drama at the Department of Aboriginal Affairs yesterday told me moments after the ordeal ended: ‘I was an extremely worried man’. [More…]
‘I was an extremely worried man as you could imagine. [More…]
I quote that newspaper account because it purports to be an account from the man who was most concerned about his experience. [More…]
One man, I think, became under the influence of liquor and had a gun, and that man went into the departmental offices armed, a fact which was not known to anyone associated with the Aboriginal cause who was demonstrating on the lawns. [More…]
But what actually happened was that he went out and spoke to the policeman. [More…]
He was asked by the policeman- I believe he was an inspector- whether the gun was loaded. [More…]
The police agreed as to what might happen to the man who had the gun if he surrendered it. [More…]
When the case came before the court the man pleaded guilty to the charge. [More…]
Mr Hausman gave evidence. [More…]
It stated that 2 men and a woman went into the office armed and held up 5 hostages. [More…]
They were joined afterwards by a Mr Hausman, who is the legal man, and by Mr Foster. [More…]
I also knew that a man had been arrested and that he was to be medically examined. [More…]
He said that the man McLeod agreed to be medically examined. [More…]
As I indicated earlier during question time, this arose from what was known of the history of the man. [More…]
Although Senator Cavanagh has said- and I said- that an examination was held and he said that the man was cleared, I think that the Senate ought to know, since we are trying to understand this issue that this is not, I think from what has been told to me, a complete description of the matter. [More…]
I cannot see how anybody can justify the position- I do not mention it only because it is fashionable but because it is something which has happened recently- where a man is not able to write and have books published in the country in which he lives and where he can have the citizenship of the country in which he was born cancelled, not by a court process but by executive action. [More…]
It has been reported and stated quite emphatically that Queensland suffered the worst national disaster since the white man occupied Australia. [More…]
Anybody who is dependent upon borrowed money for the continuing operation of his business or for the acquisition of a house knows the grievous burden which a high interest rate is upon the small man, the young man, the man who is dependent upon borrowed money to get a home or to secure a business. [More…]
If one builds or buys a home today one realises the extent to which prices have been urged upwards in the last 12 months by the mismanagement of this Government, and one sees how the ordinary individual has become a victim of the Government’s mismanagement. [More…]
I have no time to deal now, but will do so during the session, with the particular injustices which the Government has visited on the Tasmanian fruit industry, or the particular ineptitude of its decision recently to withdraw the superphosphate bounty right at the time when world prices are increasing and when the cost of superphosphate even with the bounty is to take a great upsurge. [More…]
These matters are of grievous concern to the man on the land. [More…]
The Treasurer is a very humane and honest man and we do not question for one moment that in a democracy there has to be a certain degree of trial and error. [More…]
I include West Germany because that country has been held up to us as a country to follow. [More…]
I want to say a word about the people who are forgotten nowadays, that is, those on fixed incomes- the man who saved his money and the man who commenced paying into an insurance plan 30 or 40 years ago and who has paid into it ever since in the belief that eventually he will get out of the insurance plan enough to keep him in reasonable comfort in the latter days of his life. [More…]
Any man who opposes or endeavours to delay and obstruct the people having a vote on their own Constitution cannot pretend to call himself democratic. [More…]
It has come from a man who has been an advocate of the rights and procedures of the Senate for many years. [More…]
We thought that Senator Murphy would deliver his second reading speech and then follow the normal practice that he demanded when he was in Opposition. [More…]
I was of the opinion that he was a man who did a lot of research and who did not make statements without being able to verify them. [More…]
I now ask: Does this mean, for example that if there are 2 brothers of one-quarter Aboriginal descent and three-quarters white descent, one of whom says he is an Aboriginal and the other says he is not, one is an Aboriginal and one is a white man? [More…]
What is one man’s meat is another man’s poison, so it is a matter of what the public chooses to watch. [More…]
At a time when the rest of the civilised world is expressing its condemnation of the treatment of Solzhensitsyn by the KGB, can the Minister explain why his Government chose this moment to allow an entry visa to this man and in fact seemed to welcome him with flags and an official luncheon? [More…]
I was fascinated when he said that the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) is a man of enormous courage- the most courageous Prime Minister that we have ever seen. [More…]
What faith would the people put in a man who does not even have the confidence of the members of his own Party? [More…]
This leads me to ask: Why is the Democratic Labor Party so concerned now that it should throw out so many challenges to us to go to the people? [More…]
1 per cent of the vote and we have been getting that for I do not know how many years. [More…]
He is a very capable man who will be a great credit to this chamber and to the electors of South Australia. [More…]
It is going back to the old one-man government. [More…]
They have to hand over this power to the one man band again. [More…]
No one man in that Caucus has the right to dictate to the others. [More…]
In the face of telling us that the Government has a mandate to do certain things the PostmasterGeneral, Mr Lionel Bowen, said to an official of the Australian Postal Workers Union- a man who could no longer stomach the actions of the Labor Party and resigned from his position as No. [More…]
Where is the mandate to do this kind of raiding of the Australian people and what effect will it have on inflation? [More…]
That was an interesting new socialist split, if ever there was one, in a man who is Chairman of the Joint Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence. [More…]
It praised and protected the Russians and the Chinese until Mr Whitlam expressed, on 3 1 October 1973, a policy for which, in my judgment, the people would give him no mandate at all. [More…]
He is a great Red man. [More…]
But every man Jack on the Opposition side went out campaigning to fool the people. [More…]
Many of them are whinging about inflation. [More…]
Can the Minister say whether it is correct that more man hours were lost through industrial unrest in 1971 under the Liberal-Country Party coalition Government than were lost in 1973, the first year of the present Labor Government? [More…]
If the young of my race mean the kind of black power which says that I am proud of my race and I am as good as the next person, and if they get out and help themselves in the white man’s environment and beat him at his own game, I say that is good black power. [More…]
The man who dealt with that aspect of fertilizers on the Australian Broadcasting Commission program was not slow to refute it and to point out where he was wrong. [More…]
To take the position a little further, I know of a case involving a man who lives 14.4 kilometers from a telephone exchange that is to become automatic. [More…]
A demand has been made for the payment of $2,080 to construct the telephone services to his house. [More…]
It has been customary, Mr President, as a man of your experience would know, for the terminal paragraph of the Speech to commend the deliberations of the Parliament to Almighty God and trust that we get on well and that we have His guidance in the discharge of the high obligations that we have. [More…]
Another matter which is distressing principally the housewife and the man in the street in Australia at the moment is one of the biggest con jobs ever put over the Australian people- I do not blame this Government entirely for it- and that is the continuation of the metric system in this country. [More…]
In many industries right around the world our current unit has been retained and will be retained. [More…]
I understand that no less a man than Mr Egerton was discussing the matter at the races a week ago. [More…]
I do not have time to run through the effects on the milk industry, postage and many other matters where, because of going metric, inflation has been given even a greater head then it had already. [More…]
Oddly enough, despite the fact that other members of Cabinet could not care less about the primary producer and despite the fact that the Labor Government is not the least bit interested in the man on the land, Senator Wriedt appears, so far as I can make out from reports, to have battled with at least moderate success for the man on the land. [More…]
Today in China many people are finding what they regard as new signs of internal disorder or internal convulsion. [More…]
It would be a brave man who would forecast where China’s policy is likely to lead in the next 5 years. [More…]
It has neglected the people in rural areas and encouraged them to go to the cities where it is spending money like a man with no arms. [More…]
Do not tell me that the Government had a mandate to do that. [More…]
The immigration program has been steadied down or decreased at a time when there are very big demands on industry to produce those things which are now in very short supply. [More…]
No damper at all has been placed on inordinately high wage demands. [More…]
It is in this way that inflation hurts so deeply the ordinary citizen- the man on a fixed income, the pensioner and the superannuant. [More…]
Interest rates at their present level, apart from adding to the inflationary spiral, are presenting problems to the businessman, the farmer, the home buyer, and the man who buys a refrigerator for the house or anything else on hire purchase or time payment. [More…]
That figure has not been altered for many years. [More…]
When we have a 9.5 per cent overdraft rate and a flat rate for hire purchase which is almost double, we have interest rates which are absolutely killing to the man in the street. [More…]
His service was recognised last week by many speakers from both sides. [More…]
I give to honourable senators an assurance that it will be my task to try to emulate the very real dignity of the man and his very high principles of office. [More…]
We want something that will encourage a man to have his chest up and out- not his hand. [More…]
What incentive is there for a man to go into our northern mining areas which members of the Australian Country Party toured recently? [More…]
Thomas Jefferson, a man of far more standing, described it thus: [More…]
He is a clever man. [More…]
I was making the point that Senator Carrick in a magnificent speech laid down item by item points that no Labor man can object to or deny as fact- promises given by this Government that were never carried out. [More…]
How stupid it is for any man to say that this is a government which has attempted to save the people money. [More…]
We have a Labor Government headed by an intelligent man, a most arrogant man, a most conceited man. [More…]
The aim of the Government, in introducing this legislation, is to bring elections for the Senate and the House of Representatives permanently into a parallel relationship, so that a separate Senate election can never be held. [More…]
If one examines how the founding fathers put the Constitution together, it will be noted that they saw that the concentration of power in one man or in one group was bad. [More…]
Senator Byrne is a man of great erudition. [More…]
1 believe that there is a heavy public demand for it, but irrespective of whether that is right the Government’s proposal is merely to let the people say how they want their own Constitution to operate. [More…]
Any man who votes against allowing the people to vote on the proposition which the elected Government wishes to put to them can hardly claim to be a democrat. [More…]
The chairman is Sir Leslie Melville, K.B.E., whose term of appointment is for 3 years ending on 30 September 1 974. [More…]
Senator Greenwood is piqued because he is no longer Attorney-General, the man born to rule, the young pretender who was the big dark horse who was coming in to dominate the Parliament. [More…]
They must feel insulted when a supposedly responsible man with a classic educational background tries, for passing momentary political advantage, to degrade them. [More…]
I speak firstly in their defence and secondly in defence of the right of a government which has a mandate from the people to be able to ask the people to judge. [More…]
We are saying to the people: ‘Do you want us to carry out the mandate which you gave us? [More…]
How many people owned houses in those days? [More…]
The average man rented a home, so the man in the street was not concerned with local government. [More…]
I say that the great change that has come over the local government scene is that the man in the street is now directly involved in local government. [More…]
For heaven’s sake, certainly in Sydney and Melbourne the average man in the street is now paying $3 or $4 a week to his local government authority. [More…]
Local government has become a very pertinent and relevant question and yet the man in the street is still living, in the real sense of the word, in squalor as far as local government facilities are concerned. [More…]
But no man, I think in all history, can sustain the proposition that anyone is entitled to deny the representatives of the people their right to go to the people and ask their viewpoint on a proposal to change their frame of government. [More…]
They have already done it on one occasion and no doubt they will do so on many more occasions. [More…]
Many settlers have got into difficulties over the years because the productivity of their properties originally was not assessed as accurately as it might have been. [More…]
For many reasons some settlers have not done as well as others. [More…]
I believe it is hardly fair to say to a man who has met his obligations that certain concessions will be made to others who have not met their obligations. [More…]
I believe with all the sincerity that I possess that the Government proposes to put this proposition before the people to ensure permanent Labor government. [More…]
If the Government did not think that this proposition would advantage it electorally, it would not have a bar of it; it would be in this place to a man, fighting it tooth and nail. [More…]
I have been informed that before any final decision is made, the State assessments are considered by the Director of Radio Presentation, a man with a long and distinguished career in both commercial and national broadcasting- Mr Arch McKirdy- and also by the Federal Director of Radio Programs who also has had experience as an announcer. [More…]
Additionally, in the event of an announcer wanting to appeal, he is entitled to appeal direct to the General Manager of the Commission. [More…]
Surely the Prime Minister ought to be recognised as a very courageous man for taking the steps that he has taken in a period of political difficulty, in this country, seeking to effect changes in the Constitution which after all, if agreed to, must still be determined by the Australian people and which would mean only a transference to the Commonwealth of powers that already exist at the State level. [More…]
It was an action by a man named Worthing who was injured at the Richmond Air Force base. [More…]
Mr Everett, for Tasmania, expressed his agreement. [More…]
Anybody, including the most profound constitutional lawyer, who could tell me, after reading what Mr Bjelke-Petersen said, whether he agreed or disagreed, is a better man than I am. [More…]
The man with the impressive bearing on television had the wand and he had the hidden rabbit ready to be produced. [More…]
For example, people in the senior levels of banking and finance or in big business can, maybe, by the structure of their own concerns manage to a certain extent the problems which are created by high interest rates. [More…]
But I draw attention this evening to the small depositor and, particularly the man- or woman- or young person who wants to acquire or build a home. [More…]
But this same society is able to produce a man named Barton who can make a big financial kill and then go to another country. [More…]
It is no wonder that on many occasions the trade union rank and file members feel that the processes of arbitration, whether they be conciliation or decisions to be handed down by judges, are not fast enough. [More…]
I know that there comes a time when wage demands have to be equated with the overall national aspirations of a country. [More…]
It also has an effect on the average and small businessman. [More…]
Man does not live by bread alone. [More…]
I just want to make mention of the cheap jibes that Senator McManus made about the responsibilities of the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) as a Prime Minister in this time of world convulsion and future shock. [More…]
I would go so far as to say that our Prime Minister, as Prime Minister and during the time that he was Foreign Minister as well as Prime Minister, has done more to have Australia recognised as a country in its own right, with its own mind, its own nationhood and its own destiny, than any other man in the history of this Commonwealth. [More…]
When the cards were laid on the table all that we seemed to be any good for was to supply the raw materials for the shopkeepers and the raw manpower for their wars. [More…]
In continuing to award differential pension increases, the Government has maintained a policy which has been followed in Australia for many years and is an almost universal feature of overseas pension schemes. [More…]
Two single people could not ‘beat the system’ by simply living together as man and wife. [More…]
A man now aged 65 years probably started work at 17 years of age. [More…]
He would have paid taxes for more than 40 years and would have helped to build this nation in many ways as well. [More…]
I could cite many instances. [More…]
In my home town there is a man who has a number of children and works for the local council. [More…]
There is a gentleman- I call him that for want of a better word- who lives in the same street and who, to my knowledge has not worked for the last 2 years. [More…]
Does it give any encouragement to a man who is working, supporting his family and paying his taxes when he knows that there are other people living on social security benefits who never do a day’s work? [More…]
He referred to a man who has been associated with an insurance company. [More…]
Because that man declared himself as belonging to a political party and exercised his democratic right to stand as a candidate, something which every man of the required age and qualifications is entitled to do in Australia, he was treated in a cavalier manner by the company. [More…]
I gather that this man had done splendid work and that his figures were high. [More…]
This man was victimised by this organisation. [More…]
This man, with his comprehensive insight into the application of law, says it is open to most serious practical objections and makes the very jurisdiction to begin the solution of a question dependent upon most controversial matters which have to be resolved before the merits are entered upon. [More…]
Being a very mild man, I said to them at length one evening: Is your idea of “socialism” that you nationalise all those industries that are capable of being nationalised and that the Government takes them over and operates them itself? [More…]
In the past this country gave encouragement and incentive to oil companies in so many ways to explore and so gave assistance in the saving of overseas expenditure and in the obtaining of some independence with regard to our energy needs. [More…]
Yet in the last 15 months one man has changed the whole situation. [More…]
One man and his Government are responsible today, at a time when we should be doing all that we can to encourage oil exploration because of the energy crisis, for so many companies are turning away from Australia and going elsewhere. [More…]
I think that is a very important statement from a man in a position to know. [More…]
All this is because of one man. [More…]
Mr Dunstan himself has criticised Mr Connor and expressed his concern on so many occasions, as we have. [More…]
But I could mention many other areas, including housing, where the Government has imposed tremendous burdens upon the working man of Australia. [More…]
But it is hurting very much the working man of Australia. [More…]
I make this point: The parties on the Opposition side of the Senate are more interested in the welfare of the working man of Australia than the socialists who are sitting on the Government benches today. [More…]
My recently deceased daughter was a friend of an expert on one of the oil rigs which moved from Western Australia to Manila. [More…]
From talking to that man I know that it takes years to become an expert on an oil rig. [More…]
It is a disgrace to think that a man such as Mr Connor, who has had the courage to stand up and be counted as a person who believes in the interests of Australians, not in the interests of private enterprise, should be denigrated the way that he has been for the steps that he has taken. [More…]
This man was sacked because he was a member of the Australian Labor Party and because he had accepted endorsement as the Labor Party candidate for the seat of Mallee at the House of Representatives election. [More…]
I charge that this man was dismissed because of his political affiliations. [More…]
This man was sacked because of his political affiiliation with the Labor Party. [More…]
I repeat it tonight that I believe that the evidence is clear and positive that this man’s employment was terminated because he was associated with the Labor Party. [More…]
I repeat that this organisation has dismissed a man because of his political affiliations. [More…]
Senator Webster has led us to believe that when something critical or perhaps defamatory had been said about some person or company, a man of honour and of courage, when challenged, would have no hesitation in repeating his allegations outside. [More…]
Because the Labor Party has not represented the owners of capital and has not represented the employers, people who wish to join the Party and who wish to be active in the Labor movement and the trade union movement have constantly been subjected to the fear of intimidation through their employment by their employers who, almost to a man, are opposed to the principles of the Labor movement to which their employees belong. [More…]
I hope that everybody who supports the Labor Party and everybody who supports democracy will have a look at Federation Insurance Ltd and see that it is the type of organisation which, no doubt while it pays money to people who prate about democracy and freedom of speech, is prepared to deny a man and his family their livelihood because the man belongs to a legal political organisation and wishes to exercise his democratic rights as a candidate for Parliament. [More…]
Of course, a miserable little organisation like the Country Party in Victoria which is groping and straining to form a national alliance with the Australian Democratic Labor Party and which has no doubt made some approach to the National Liberal Party but which may have been spurned by a man of Senator Hannan ‘s integrity - [More…]
In decrying the payment of the superphosphate bounty to farmers many members of the public overlook the fact that there are 2 sides to the question of subsidies. [More…]
But we question the way it was done by one man arbitrarily against the wish of his caucus, against the rules of the Labor Party and against the wish of the Green Paper Committee. [More…]
I’ve never hit a man in my life before. [More…]
This particular reader is a mild mannered man, a respected and responsible citizen. [More…]
I hope that the wheat growers of Australia realise that the future stabilisation of their industry rests on a man who would use that sort of language to another Minister. [More…]
Yet the Leader of the Government sat in his place and watched the man whom he said was not a senator come before the Senate and vote. [More…]
I ask: Why has this man, who before Labor’s defeat at the polls on Saturday, was supposedly concerned that too little emphasis had been put on the defence of the western seaboard, perpetuated the situation in which the defence of Western Australia with a long and relatively uninhabited coastline, containing much if not most of this country’s natural wealth has rested on one Air Force base, a down graded naval base and one SAS unit? [More…]
If Mr Whitlam were at all a logical man, he would see that until an agreement is reached between America and Russia to restrict the build up of forces, it would be foolish for America not to make some move to redress the balance in the interests of security and peaceful development of the area. [More…]
Every serving man in the Navy, Army or Air Force, and civilian persons in the defence Services, receive an equivalent entitlement. [More…]
Is Senator Withers saying that when a man is serving his country in isolated places away from his family his next of kin is not entitled to similar benefits? [More…]
He would be a brave man indeed who could look to the future of Chinese-United States relations with increasing confidence. [More…]
While we are trying to commit the resources of this country to the development of the best interest of every man, woman and child in Australia, we are being told that we ought to be spending money on this, that or something else. [More…]
Another kind of standover tactic that I think ought to be looked at is that which says that a man is not a member of the Senate and then admits that for 3 weeks he has been sitting in the Senate, has voted in 9 divisions, has had all his expenses paid by the Parliament- by this Government- and then there is the claim by the Government that he has not been a member of the Parliament for the whole period. [More…]
Leaving aside questions of technicalities of vacation of place or resignation, quite obviously, in any man’s language, after the matter had reached the stage that it reached after 2 1 March this year, under no circumstances, considering technicalities or otherwise, should Senator Gair have been coming into this chamber. [More…]
On a media man’s say-so he produces an expert- Professor Lane. [More…]
I have no doubt that Professor Lane is a man of great reputation. [More…]
He is certainly well acknowledged within the profession as a man who knows his subject. [More…]
the Government had been privy to a man who, at that time on the Government’s submission, did an act which ipso facto disqualified the Senator so that from March IS or March 21 there is masquerading in the Senate a Mr Gair, who. [More…]
If that is the case well certain consequences follow such as, I suppose that the proceedings by the Senate since March IS or March 21, might be nullified because sitting in the Senate was a man who just shouldn’t be there. [More…]
One can hardly describe Senator Gair as the man who never was. [More…]
I suppose he is the man who never is. [More…]
Now Sir Paul Hasluck, the Governor-General if he wished, in the exercise of his undoubted discretion, could call his Ministers to task and suggest to them that on their own admission since March IS or March 2 1 they have put into Parliament a man who just shouldn’t be there. [More…]
Senator Georges has not secretly been appointed chairman of the Turtles Board? [More…]
He placed it on record this afternoon that it was none of his business if he knew that a man who was not a senator was voting in this place. [More…]
Senator Murphy also says that as Attorney-General, the man who is supposed to look after the laws of this country, he sat in his place and watched a gross breach of the law happen and did not regard himself as having any responsibility to do anything about it. [More…]
Surely when a man is appointed an ambassador or an ambassador designate for this country there is a document which places on record the offer and the acceptance. [More…]
Mr Whitlam has demonstrated on many occasions his profound antagonism towards Senator Gair. [More…]
But few people will ever forgive Mr Whitiam for the action which he took in the case of a man trending towards the end of a long and admirable career, offering him a position- and I make these words clear- not to honour him but to destroy him. [More…]
I say that it was a calculated act to destroy a political opponent, by a man who in these matters has no principle or decency at all. [More…]
I want to say only this in conclusion: I will remember Senator Gair not for what happened in the last three or four days but for the many honourable things that he did in a career during which he earned the admiration of the people of Queensland and, later, of Australia. [More…]
The person whom I will never forgive for what was done is the man who, in the way the Prime Minister did, coldly and calculatingly set to work to wreck the reputation of a man whom he hated for political reasons. [More…]
Senator McManus implied that former Senator Gair was incapable of making a decision, but Mr Gair, who Senator McManus now says is a wonderful man, says that he was appointed to the position with his knowledge and consent. [More…]
On that occasion a Senate vacancy was caused by the death of a senator from Queensland, and this man who now professes to have all the rights to democracy made a complete and utter joke of the process by which a successor was appointed. [More…]
But this gentleman from Queensland said that because the person we nominated was a wharf labourer he was completely unacceptable to the Country-Liberal Party Government in Queensland at that time. [More…]
These opinions, which I hold to be true, make the snide insinuations of this front page bannerheadlined article, which includes a photograph of me, very hurtful to me personally and unless repudiated, as I repudiate them now, they can be very damaging to my character as a public man- a character of which at least I am proudand I may take action to defend it by additional means which are available to all Australians under our laws. [More…]
On a media man ‘s say so he produces an expert- Professor Lane. [More…]
I have no doubt that Professor Lane is a man of great reputation. [More…]
He is certainly well acknowledged within the profession as a man who knows his subject. [More…]
I think that possibly many people who, in the past, have accepted his opinions would be very doubtful about the authenticity and strength of his opinions in the future. [More…]
the Government had been privy to a man who, at that time on the Government’s submission, did an act which ipso facto disqualified the Senator so that from15 March or 2 1 March there has been masquerading in the Senate a Mr Gair, who, Senator Murphy tells us, disqualified himself from those dates. [More…]
If that is the case well certain consequences follow such as,I suppose that the proceedings by the Senate since15 March or 21 March, might be nullified because sitting in the Senate was a man who just shouldn’t be there. [More…]
So the Prime Minister is the one man in Australia who can speak authoritatively on this question. [More…]
No man could have been more in possession of the facts than Senator Willesee, save the Prime Minister, because Senator Willesee must have known from 2 1 March that it was his job to fix the terms, conditions, emoluments and the date of appointment of Senator Gair. [More…]
I think that if I have assessed the position correctly that would be a most reprehensible course of action when a man, who apparently did not - [More…]
I, like everybody else, have been called upon to play some small part in the incidents that have led up to the catastrophe for the parliamentary system of government in this country which has emanated from the successful attempt to bribe away from the political loyalties of a lifetime a man who had a splendid political record but who, of course, was going through a phase of life through which all of us must go some day. [More…]
I want to trace the circumstances of Senator Gair’s appointment, not as a man with a legal mind but as an ordinary member of the Australian community. [More…]
The Government made a hasty decision because it would be completely impossible to prove that a man had been appointed as ambassador to a country before that country had accepted the appointment. [More…]
I issue this challenge to the Government: If that statement is true, is it going to send to Ireland the man who made it? [More…]
Is it going to send this man to Ireland? [More…]
Yet those people are still going to send the man who said that to Ireland. [More…]
When one hears of attempts that have been made by those who seek to have this Senate determine the issue of Senator Gair’s retirement one would imagine that somebody in the Government Party had twisted Senator Gair’s arm, that Senator Gair did not have possession of his faculties, that he would not have been able to make the decision himself, that this man who was formerly Leader of this Party had suddenly become irresponsible and incapable of making a decision affecting his future. [More…]
If there is any guilty man, every member of this chamber is guilty because not one of us got to his feet to draw to the attention of the President that we had a stranger in the House. [More…]
Does he recall that every member of his Party in the Senate supported this clause then, but that it was beaten by one vote because the then Government, to the last man, voted against my proposal? [More…]
I know that many of the seats in the House of Representatives are named after very distinguished ex-members of this Parliament but I would guess that most of them are named after ex-members of the House of Representatives. [More…]
Somebody suggested to me the electorate of Cunningham, but I would guess that that is named after the explorer rather than the man who was President of this Senate at one time. [More…]
In this case the commissioners in their report suggested that the proposed division should be named after a famous man in Western Australia- the man who was responsible for the construction of the Fremantle wharf and making Fremantle a deep water port, and the man who was responsible for the ambitious and, I think, famous water scheme in Western Australia. [More…]
He was also responsible for what was considered by many people to be a completely impossible project in those days, namely, the pipeline to Kalgoorlie. [More…]
These are monuments in themselves to this man. [More…]
It has dogged her over many years. [More…]
The people who live up in that area voted almost Liberal to a man for the first time in the history of Western Australia. [More…]
He is a man for whom we all have enormous respect. [More…]
Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson is a nice senator and a very gentlemanly man. [More…]
My eminent leader, Senator Murphy, has said to me repeatedly that this matter is in a sort of legal no-man’s land. [More…]
I report that Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson is a man of peace, but I have never believed that the meek inherit the earth, particularly when what is involved is obtaining something for the public interest. [More…]
Will he get his advisers to give him the truth as to the cost of this medical scheme in terms of a cash contribution by the average working man. [More…]
Perhaps the 1.35 per cent contribution will be the equivalent of the contribution now paid by many in the lower “ income bracket and that those earning more than $7,000 will pay more. [More…]
Dr Cooper doubts whether he is thoroughly trained in the specialist area of skin complaints to diagnose or to treat properly- a proper specialist, that man … the specialist may be expected to see twenty or thirty people in a three-hour session, that means that he can spend about two minutes, or three minutes, or half a minute, on a patient, which is inadequate. [More…]
Again I make reference to the White Paper which was issued by this Government to prove how cheap to the little man this scheme was. [More…]
That is the Government’s free medical scheme for the little man; and one has to have dependants to get that. [More…]
That is Labor looking after the little man! [More…]
If this is what the Government is doing in relation to incomes of between $40 and $45 a week, what happens to the man who gets between $90 and $100 a week which is the average wage? [More…]
Let us consider the man who has a claim of $100 a year for dependants. [More…]
If she gets up to a more believable salary of $45 a week, although no woman works for that today- I only go this far because this is as far as the table goes- then the Government takes $30.67 a year off her because she has no dependants to claim as her husband is working too. [More…]
It is not a scheme of medical service to assist the little man. [More…]
I personally find quite unacceptable a system whereby the man who drives my Commonwealth car in Sydney pays twice as much for the same family cover as I have, not despite the fact that my income is 4 or 5 times higher than his, but precisely because of my higher income. [More…]
A man who is receiving the average weekly income will get $40 - [More…]
There are so many implications in a proposition for nationalisation of medicine that it is unbelievable that anybody would accept that this is a genuine attempt to bring into being proposals contained in a Bill which has been rejected once before. [More…]
They say, as did a man who was out here from Canada last year, that quite a significant number of applications are coming from people to join voluntary funds. [More…]
I personally find quite unacceptable a system whereby the man who drives my Commonwealth car in Sydney pays twice as much for the same family cover as I have, not despite the fact that my income is four or five times higher than his, but precisely because of my higher income. [More…]
Man in the Desert [More…]
Look at the way it has come about- the fact that we do not know yet whether the man has resigned, whether he has been appointed, whether he is overpaid or whether he has committed a criminal offence by drawing emoluments from this Senate. [More…]
It seems to me inevitable, natural, normal and appropriate for a man- it could be a woman in the world in which we live today- who accepts this highest office in the land and who serves the whole of the people of this nation to be able on his retirement to keep at that high level thereafter as one of the elder statesmen of the nation. [More…]
The man who offered it is guilty. [More…]
It so happens that I was down near the door of Parliament House yesterday when the Leader of honourable senators opposite, this man, this little mediocrity who aspires to be the Prime Minister of Australia, was cornered near the front door of Parliament House. [More…]
Well, I wish all honourable senators had been there to hear the vapid generalities which passed for a policy from this man of destiny with whom honourable senators are saddled. [More…]
We had from Senator Drake-Brockman, the Leader of the Australian Country Party in this place- incidentally, a man for whom I have a lot of affection and who I hope will be back with us- a remark to the effect that he had counted up the broken promises of this Government. [More…]
They are denigrating a man whom they put forward to this country as a worthy leader of a party, a man with the loftiest moral principles. [More…]
They are telling us that throughout that period they had been sold a pup, that this was not really the quality of this man. [More…]
But another man who considers that he will have impeccable credentials for the position of Treasurer, the alleged charismatic Leader of the Country Party, the junior or is it the senior partner in the coalition, says that he does not agree with this proposition. [More…]
That is an odd recipe for a cure for demand inflation. [More…]
There is not much doubt that their Leader is so stodgy and so unappealing that a man who is thought to have more appeal- the representative of Gunns’ Gully. [More…]
He will give us a return to pork barrel politics, a demand for the restoration of all the bounties which, I suggest, is in great conflict with the propositions which are put forward by the junior partner, the Liberal Party, to give relief from taxation and at the same time to spend more money on defence. [More…]
I know that you are a good betting man, but I suggest that you should talk to some of your friends in Victoria and make up your mind not to have a bet. [More…]
The other day the Government put the GovernorGeneral in the position where he had signed a document appointing a man as an ambassador and he had to sit back while that man came into the Senate and voted on 9 occasions. [More…]
In the very clear words of a man whom I consider to be the best Prime Minister that this country ever had, Sir Robert Menzies, who started off the Liberal Party, the Senate, if it did what it is doing now, would be doing a very improper thing. [More…]
When I was in the motor racing game, if a man beat me and I could not take a licking I would have been a very bad sport. [More…]
If a man who is a member of a State parliament wishes to nominate and he is required to resign from that Parliament a certain number of days before he submits his nomination, I think that is a special consideration. [More…]
I commend the Australian Government for the humane work it did in providing all the Army personnel, the Royal Australian Air Force personnel, helicopters, planes and other facilities. [More…]
I believe that it was one of the worst disasters we have seen since the white man first inhabited Australia. [More…]
I cannot see that the slightest question of policy arises in this matter, and I would expect that every Labor man would support such a proposition, that is to say, that under the Act a retiring Governor-General is to be provided with a pension equal to 60 per cent of the Chief Justice’s salary, and if he is receiving a periodic pension either from the State or the Commonwealth or the Territory, whether it be a judicial pension, a parliamentary pension or, as I interpret it, a superannuation pension- as to that I ask the Minister to confirm my understandingthe amount of the periodic pension is deducted. [More…]
He is a man who is not without experience of the law. [More…]
I have never served on a committee with Senator Wilkinson but I have learnt since he became one of my temporary chairmen to regard him as a man of impeccable manners and as having an impeccable knowledge on how the Senate should be conducted. [More…]
Senator Dame Nancy Buttfield has had a hard road to hoe in what is essentially a male community whose members perhaps do not understand a woman’s approach to a problem. [More…]
Not only in the Parliament but in Australia, it is one of the highest offices that can be held by any man. [More…]
We look forward to your living up to the high traditions set by your predecessor, a man who at all times demonstrated his interest in the Senate and its operations, a man who presided at all times with great calm and dignity. [More…]
As one who has served in this place for many years as Deputy President and Acting President I wish to point out to the new members of this chamber that although quite often it would seem to be very easy for the occupant of the chair to make a decision, that is not always the case. [More…]
The Duke was a man who disliked many of the social tasks which necessarily fall upon members of the Royal Family but he manfully showed a sense of public duty worthy of his high station throughout his long life. [More…]
He was a very kindly and courteous man. [More…]
Senator McKenna was a man of extreme courtesy and tolerance. [More…]
He went through many difficult times, including the times of the split in the Labor Party. [More…]
When the late Senator McKenna came to this chamber he was quickly recognised as a man of ability. [More…]
If Senator Murphy wishes to generate any spirit of anger that might have been generated in Senator McKenna with regard to our performances on the double dissolution, I can tell him that in the period from 1 949 to 1 95 1 not only Senator McKenna but also his colleagues exhibited anger in no mistakable way when they resented, as a majority in this chamber, the fact that our Party held a majority in government in the other place. [More…]
1 have no doubt that Senator McKenna would have seen the performances of 1973 and 1974 as not nearly matching the vigour and persistence with which the majority of Labor senators sought to oppose the Liberal Government in another place in the period when the 2 parties had majorities in different places. [More…]
But he sustained those sadnesses with the deep insight of human faith that was given to him in a unique degree. [More…]
That was an indication of the kindness of the man whose memory we record in the terms that the Leader of the Government in the Senate has given us today, as a senator who ennobled this place and contributed to its operation with ability and with very great and genuine interest, I believe, in all his work. [More…]
He was a man widely respected in Tasmania. [More…]
Although perhaps this is not the ultimate judgment, I recall that it was Nick McKenna who, up to the time of his retirement from politics, always polled more votes than any other in Tasmania in a Federal election. [More…]
I was glad that Senator Wright made reference to Nick McKenna ‘s tragic family life which I do not think was widely known outside Tasmania. [More…]
He did carry an enormous burden for many years and the eventual deaths of his wife and son were great blows to him. [More…]
I am sure that all of us today will remember not only a great Tasmanian but also a great Australian and a great senator. [More…]
I always found Senator McKenna a charming man and a man dedicated to his cause. [More…]
For many years he stayed at the Hotel Canberra where many of us stayed, and it would be true to say that there would not be a night when he went back after the Parliament rose without taking documents and papers in order to make himself ready to present a case for the Opposition on subsequent days. [More…]
Joe Sexton was the kind of man who forms the backbone of political parties and, it should be said, of this Parliament- men who are hardworking and who do not seek high office. [More…]
He was a kindly, courteous and hardworking man who looked after his electorate well and did the work which it is necessary to do if the Parliament is really going to maintain its links with the people of our nation. [More…]
He was a good parliamentarian and a good man. [More…]
As I recall him, he was a man who was genial in his conversation, very considerate in his disposition and certainly friendly in companionship. [More…]
He served the Parliament well and, indeed, he served his fellow man very well. [More…]
Senator DRAKE-BROCKMAN (Western Australia- Leader of the Australian Country Party in the Senate)- I wish to associate senators of the Australian Country Party with this motion of condolence for a hardworking former member of Parliament. [More…]
It was then that I learned that this quiet, unassuming man possessed a very fine sense of humour. [More…]
I knew him for many years and was a close associate of his. [More…]
He helped me on many occasions when I entered Parliament as a senator for South Australia. [More…]
He was a kindly and generous man. [More…]
He was well revered and loved by his constituents from the electorate of Adelaide which he represented in the House of Representatives for so many years. [More…]
I know from my contact with Joe Sexton that on many occasions when some of the people who had been housed by the Southern Cross Homes for the Aged needed maintenance assistance, he was always ready to give them that assistance. [More…]
He always gave them advice and generous assistance in many ways, apart from the assistance and advice that he gave as a member of Parliament. [More…]
He was, as I said, revered and respected by the many people of his electorate because as those of us who knew him know he concentrated his efforts mainly in the field of social services. [More…]
He spoke on this subject in many of his speeches in the House of Representatives, and he did all he possibly could to assist those who most needed assistance. [More…]
He was a true family man, and I join with my colleagues and the Parliament in offering sincere condolences to his family. [More…]
I know him as a man of principle and integrity and I am sure he will bring this Senate great honour. [More…]
By ‘preservation of individual freedoms’ this organisation, like all these organisations, means the freedom of one man to exploit another. [More…]
It involves not only the farmer- not only the man who grows grain, produces wool, meat, pigs, dairy products and so on. [More…]
Primary industry involves not only those people; in fact they are the minority of beneficiaries from many of these things that have been done. [More…]
I would like to say that although I am the last man in I do not intend, if I can help it, to be the first man out and I know that my vote will count in this place equally with that of anyone else. [More…]
Inflation, as I see it today, is at a higher than any rate which people in my generation have known, and it has risen not under a Liberal government but under a Labor government which is supposedly committed to the care of the little man. [More…]
Why, in the ‘lucky country’, are the sick, the old, the poor, the breadwinners on low incomes, the one-man farms and businesses being steadily driven to the wall? [More…]
It is our duty, our responsibility and our privilege to secure for every Australian man, woman and child the quality of life that will result in achieving, or at least may help people to achieve, a way of life of their own choice but of an intellectual, material and spiritual quality, if you wish, that is not discriminatory of anyone in any way, and I do commend that to honourable senators. [More…]
Although Queensland is a coal producing State it has many other resources, including copper, sulphur, lead, bauxite, phosphate deposits and, despite the difficulties, resounding rural industries. [More…]
I say that because I am really an unlikely senator, having occupied the bottom of a 6-man ticket in Queensland. [More…]
I must say as a practising doctor, a field in which one sees both sides of the question, that the scales are heavily weighted in favour of this being a man’s world. [More…]
It has sanctified price increases and has made absolutely apparent what the Liberal and Country parties have maintained always in this country and which has been denied by so many members of the Labor Party- if you increase wages there will be some impact in costs which will find expression in increased prices. [More…]
4 man in this Government, the Minister for Social Security (Mr Hayden), should have said yesterday, if he has been reported correctly, and I understand that it has not been denied, that the Government was presiding over the destruction of this nation ‘s economy. [More…]
I wonder what the average Australian citizen thinks about the progressive legislation of the Labor Government today because it has done nothing other than impose greater and greater penalties upon the average working man and woman in Australia. [More…]
But is it not better that we operate so that the least number of small people are hurt rather than adopt the policy of our predecessors who, while protecting the profits of the multinationals, ruthlessly kicked the working man to death? [More…]
The fact that a man tried to keep his family on $10 or $15 a week, which was the miserly rate of unemployment benefit paid at that time, also did not matter at all to them. [More…]
Senator Rae is the Chairman of the Committee. [More…]
He is the man who is taking action to prevent the publication of that report in order to protect his friends in the stockbroking industry, people who have been thieving in the mining industry and others like that. [More…]
Mr President, I wish to congratulate you on your election to the very high office of President and to congratulate Senator Webster on his election as Chairman of Committees. [More…]
He always reminds me of prehistoric man. [More…]
Yet inflation is man made and it can be controlled by man. [More…]
Don Chipp, Senator Greenwood and Mr McManus were celebrating 4 July, the anniversary of that great day when America, after defeating the British as a colonial power, obtained its independence. [More…]
You are acting in the same position as one Denis Warner who obviously is a great friend of Marshall Green, a great defender of this hatchet man. [More…]
I say again that you are now taking over the role which that gentleman of the Melbourne ‘Herald’ cannot sustain in this place. [More…]
Being a man of honour, as we all know he is, I am sure Senator Brown has already donated $1,000 to the charity of Mr Pepper’s choice. [More…]
I suppose it ill becomes me, a simple railway man, to tell Senator Withers, a member of the legal fraternity, what his conduct should be. [More…]
But he used this forum, the Senate, for this sort of brinkmanship. [More…]
There can be no doubt whatever that a man is entitled to equal representation whether he lives in the city or the country. [More…]
The Committee also included Mr Hamilton, the then member for Canning and a distinguished member of the Parliament and a Country Party man also; Mr Downer, a former Minister and a former Australian High Commissioner; Mr Joske, who later became Mr Justice Joske; Mr Whitiam, now Prime Minister of Australia; Mr Ward; Mr Pollard; Mr Calwell. [More…]
I regard the Minister for Services and Property (Mr Daly) as a very good Minister and I think that he carries out his duties in a very capable manner, but I do not think that if he were to speak from his heart he would argue with you if you said that he was what is termed a ‘numbers’ man. [More…]
Phrases like ‘one man one vote ‘ sound good. [More…]
The Government could set out the electorates tomorrow in such a way as to represent one man one vote. [More…]
We have to recognise that the principle of one man one vote is one of the dreams that you cannot hold to all the time. [More…]
By that referendum the Government wanted to bring in not just the electors but everybody who lived in the electorates- man, woman and child, whether voters or not. [More…]
He is a legal man of some renown, but he has moved this amendment. [More…]
He is concerned that this measure should go before a select committee, but he has been a senator long enough to know that it has been before the Parliament on many occasions. [More…]
As reported at page 2525 of the Senate Hansard of 7 June the Leader of the Australian Country Party in the Senate (Senator DrakeBrockman), as he was then although I understand that he is now the Leader of the National Alliance, having been elected as such at the recent election, said at the conclusion of his speech: Therefore we in the Country Party oppose this legislation’. [More…]
He has even gone so far as to claim that he was the first man to have mentioned it in the Parliament. [More…]
Nevertheless, if he is a reasonable man, as I hope he would be and as I believe Senator Hall has proved that he is a reasonable man, he would accept that the Government of the day- Senator Carrick would argue this alsohas a right to govern and has a right to continuity. [More…]
Since these matters have been put to the test twice and an election held again because of their rejection, surely the honourable senator would accept that the Government has a right and- to use that horrid word- a mandate to- [More…]
Section 128 of the Constitution should be impressive to the man who has been elected to this Senate and who is a former Premier of an important State. [More…]
It is obvious that a Country Party man would win a seat. [More…]
I think I heard a Labor man say it is obvious that the Country Party would get one of these Senate positions. [More…]
He is a man for whom I have respect and affection but I am afraid he has tried our patience a little beyond what we are prepared to stand tonight. [More…]
As a man of medicine I am sure that you would know all the answers. [More…]
The name of that man is available, as well as the names of the people who refused to treat him unless he did what they wanted him to do. [More…]
This might satisfy Senator Sir Magnus Cormack: In Townsville there is a gentleman named Dr Scott Young- a doctor, politician, speculatorwho has denigrated Labor’s health scheme ever since it was first mooted; even before we became the Government. [More…]
This man, in his great desire to help pensioners and in his speculating activities, buys old houses, renovates them and does very well. [More…]
The people in the State that I represent will still be faced with the fact that they cannot get health care even though they are paying their 1.35 per cent taxation levy and even though they have been promised all kinds of care by this Government of the little man. [More…]
I say this to the Labor Government which thinks it is going to give a new and a fair deal to the little man: It is we on the Opposition who care about the little man. [More…]
It is the little man who will wait and join the queues when the Government ruins the Australian hospital system. [More…]
Under the subsidised health benefits plan, people here with financial handicaps, some of whom have been deprived all their lives and who are often not very good at managing their own affairs, have to attend, fill out forms and go back and forth from department to insurance fund to produce evidence in order to get the same sorts of subsidies, in many cases, as a rich man gets automatically in the form of income tax concessions. [More…]
Today a married man can go to a medical and hospital fund and insure the whole family. [More…]
Under the Government’s plan, a single person will be forced to pay the same rate as a married man. [More…]
I thought it was a magnificent exposition from a man who really knew his subject. [More…]
Many people will have to pay more for their health care in this country. [More…]
We have to consider the working man and his working wife. [More…]
-It is true that originally I made the comment that an independent chairman would be appointed. [More…]
An independent chairman has been appointed. [More…]
The word ‘indepentent’ means that the man will act independently of other interests which may conflict with his job as chairman of the Corporation. [More…]
I have discussed these matters with him, of course, and I am quite confident that Mr Bain will act impartially and in the best interests of the industry as chairman. [More…]
Honourable senators will be aware of the speculative practices followed by some importers, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers in the weeks prior to annual Budgets. [More…]
Irrespective of whether it is an importer, wholesaler or retailer who actually takes the profit it is the consumer, the man in the street, who foots the bill. [More…]
Consider what would happen if the representatives of a country came to us and said: ‘We have positive proof which we can put before a magistrate in your country to demonstrate that this man who migrated to Australia a few years ago and became an Australian citizen is in fact a mass murderer who killed three or four people. [More…]
It seems to me that the country and the people applying the aid would, in many areas, be far better served by utilising the services of some of the thousands of tradesmen who are available in their own country- bricklayers, people who do electric wiring, carpenters, practical farmerswho can get right down on the ground and show these people in other countries the way a job should be tackled. [More…]
I do not by any means denigrate the efforts that people in underdeveloped countries, particularly their tradesmen, are making, but some of the things I saw overseas would make one weep blood- all for the lack of a good practical man who would get down on the ground and, using his skill, pass on his knowledge to his kind in these underdeveloped countries. [More…]
The Deputy Leader of the Opposition is an intelligent man but he is purporting not to understand what the Government is about. [More…]
But as I announced yesterday, Mr Constantine Karamanlis has returned from Paris to take over the Prime Ministership. [More…]
At the same time, on Cyprus, Mr Glafkos Clerides, who is a former president of the House of Representatives and one of the negotiators in the early intercommunal talks that took place between the Turks and the Greeks-a very highly respected man, our reports say- has said, I understand, that he would welcome the return of Archbishop Makarios. [More…]
From reports it seems that many prominent Greeks who have refused to live in their home country over some period of time have announced that they are returning. [More…]
How proud the Labor Party must feel of that man. [More…]
In fact he is acting, however inadvertently, as a Labor Party Caucus man. [More…]
A secret ballot was taken and they do not even know the result of it because the man who has the ballot papers is missing and their leader is not in the precincts of Parliament House. [More…]
As Sir George Bernard Shaw said, Joe Louis got more money for being able to punch another man unconscious in 3 minutes than the Archbishop of Canterbury received for preaching a sermon in Latin in London. [More…]
But who is to say whether a person’s ability to knock a man unconscious in 3 minutes is of more value than another person’s ability to preach in Latin? [More…]
I can tell honourable senators that I am not a rich man. [More…]
We need a first class man for the job. [More…]
The dominant user of postal services is big business- not the working man, the pensioner or the man in the street, each of whom would not send more than 20 letters in a year. [More…]
Despite the fact that big business will pay only 5c for a stamp, the pensioner, the worker or the ordinary man in the street, who also pays tax, will be called upon to pay the full 9c. [More…]
Let us consider this proposal next from the point of view of proper financial management. [More…]
The Government received a long standing report graced by the dignity of a man of experience and status in the community, Sir James Vernon. [More…]
From the standpoint of financial management, I would think that a proposal would be put forward after the Vernon report had been thoroughly considered and debated here, in all its aspects, as to its value and worth, for at least one day. [More…]
In addition to considering in the context of financial management what justification there is for giving $385m in borrowings to the Post Office, we have to consider other avenues of borrowing such as for turtle farms, Aboriginal enterprises, another Blue Poles’ purchase and a few odd notices on country roads. [More…]
Any sensible man considers its sufficiency only in relation to all the other components of the country’s Budget. [More…]
I want to see whether the Post Office can introduce real management into its affairs and produce results on an economic basis. [More…]
I, like one of my colleagues, or like one honourable senator who has spoken in the debate before me-I think it was Senator Hall and I am not authorised to say that he is a colleaguethought that the operation of the Post Office, from the point of view of industrial performance, is pretty poor. [More…]
But I am told that from the point of view of actual man-days lost, the figures for the Post Office compare very favourably with those for other sections of the community. [More…]
I have heard him complain bitterly at meetings of a Senate Estimates Committee of which Senator Davidson was Chairman that his Government was doing nothing to provide telephone services for people in country areas. [More…]
There was one man in the Liberal-Country Party Government who also had that courage. [More…]
That was what was said by the then Liberal leader in the Senate, Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson- a man for whom we all have a very high regard. [More…]
Consequently we believe that it is our responsibility to face up to the facts as they are presented in the report, an independent report presented by people who are respected in the community who had as their chairman a person who had been briefed by the previous government. [More…]
Consequently the Opposition must believe that he is a man of repute, as we believe he is. [More…]
Senator Sir George Pearce who began the questioning is regarded by many as one of the greatest senators in Australian Senate history. [More…]
A notable book which was written by the late Sir Peter Hayden on Sir George Pearce called ‘Quiet Decision’ illustrates the sort of man he was and the sort of attitude he brought to the Senate and his country’s affairs. [More…]
I was demonstrating a critical situation and the fact that his senior Treasury man, the parliamentary head of the Treasury, had made an inflationary statement which only added to the fire by presenting an extra burden of expense to the community. [More…]
To qualify as a voter for the Legislative Council a man had to be 2 1 or over and amongst other qualifications either possess freehold property to the value of 1 , 000 or the annual value of 1 00. [More…]
The restrictive property qualifications for electors of the Legislative Council were eased in 1 869 and in 1 88 1 such that in 1881 the income or property qualifications necessary to enable a man to vote in Legislative Council elections were: freehold of annual rateable value of 10, or a leasehold originally created for not less than 5 years, or an occupying tenancy of an annual value of 25. [More…]
Senator Wright- this great custodian of morals, principles, justice and fair play, the upholder of the dignity of the Senate, the great statesman of Australia, the great man from the Island State who comes over here in defence of all that is fair and free- makes accusations, many of which are false, and will not permit a reply to be given to them. [More…]
We are fortunate in that we are able also to produce a letter written on 10 January 1974 to the Department by the Chairman of the Housing Commission of New South Wales. [More…]
Of course, the Chairman of the Housing Commission is well known in Sydney to be a man who has some understanding of the problems of providing accommodation for those in low income groups. [More…]
A man looking over Lake Burley Griffin does not understand the problems of people in inner metropolitan Sydney. [More…]
The shadow Minister for the Environment and Conservation, the honourable member for Gwydir (Mr Hunt), happens to be a Country Party man. [More…]
Alderman Murphy- he is no relation to Senator Murphywas associated with many of the redevelopment areas around the city of Sydney. [More…]
Remember that the greater the variation the more the value of a man’s or woman’s vote is diminished or inflated. [More…]
I was told by my father as a very young child: ‘The most important man in any organisation is not the president, is not the secretary. [More…]
He is the most important man in the Labor Party. [More…]
They have internal fracas within their own Party and they do not even trust the quality of their one man Government much longer. [More…]
This is the man who has just said it was not fair. [More…]
In opposition it has opposed the Government’s legislation and ignored the mandate given to the Whitlam Government in 1 972. [More…]
That is what the Joint Committee on Constitutional Review has described as a gerrymander. [More…]
I did not think anywhere hidden in the Liberal Party was a man with his intelligence and foresight. [More…]
Whilst most Liberals know when to get out of the wet this man has done it on principle, and that is so different from other members of the Liberal Party. [More…]
But, of course, this Prime Minister is not a man cast in the mould of those great Prime Ministers of former years. [More…]
To a man and a woman, the Opposition totally rejects the Bill before the Parliament. [More…]
That statement was made by a man who played a very important part in framing the Constitution of the United States of Amenca. [More…]
-Mr Chairman, so far this debate has been quite notorious because so many speakers have spoken in favour of the principles of one vote one value but at the same time have expressed their intention to vote against the principle which they have espoused. [More…]
He is the one most important man’ is the message he gave us. [More…]
In every single case that has been before the United States Supreme Court it has made the same decision- that the democratic concept will not tolerate the gerrymandering of politicians. [More…]
They have used the argument about the man in the country, which was argued in 1902 when there were no telephones, no trains, no motor cars, no communication between the citizens of the outback of this great nation. [More…]
He is a man who comes here and says: ‘It is all right to represent 120,000 because I am in the city but, of course, if you are in the country you can drop it down to 80,000. [More…]
-Mr Acting Chairman, we have just heard the usual diatribe from the Special Minister of State (Mr Lionel Bowen) on matters affecting the Country Party. [More…]
That is the purpose of the legislation, and the Minister for Services and Property is the guilty man. [More…]
I think Senator Withers is a very lucky man to have the benefit of having had the opportunity to talk to his father and learn some of the antics of the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
I shall tell the Joint Sitting the name of one man who is a registered surveyor in Queensland- none other than the Lord Mayor of Brisbane, Clem Jones. [More…]
Many many years ago a man called Voltaire described how words were invented to hide the real thoughts of certain spokesmen. [More…]
Many measures that concern the people of the Australian Capital Territory are debated in that chamber but the people of the Australian Capital Territory do not have a representative to participate in any debate in the Senate, as they have no opportunity to send a man or a woman to express their point of view in that chamber. [More…]
There is one man on a meteorological station on one island. [More…]
These are about the man who spent his entire time today accusing me of not being interested in the Northern Territory. [More…]
Apparently, if we follow through the reasoning of the honourable member for Moreton, all wisdom ended with the Neanderthal man because anything that came after that is a shocking modern device cooked up by left wing socialists. [More…]
I call them Piltdown men advisedly, because it may be remembered that the Piltdown man was constructed artificially. [More…]
On the last occasion the Country Party managed to talk out the time allotted for consideration of the legislation so that it would not come to a vote. [More…]
I am reminded of the speech made tonight by the honourable member for Moreton (Mr Killen), who is a man for whom we have a great respect, a man who is a great traditionalist and a great speaker in this place. [More…]
But I am afraid that I can never quite get over the worship that the honourable member and so many others opposite have for the Constitution. [More…]
Take the position of a man with a wife and 2 children in New South Wales who wishes to cover himself and his family for intermediate hospital and medical cover. [More…]
A man in this position who earns $80 a week after tax pays over $2 a week for his health insurance cover. [More…]
But a man earning $300 a week pays only a little over $1 a week for his health insurance cover. [More…]
The wealthy man gets at least a $45 subsidy each year. [More…]
Let us not have any argument that because a wealthy man, or a comparatively better off man, pays more tax, he is entitled to more. [More…]
We do not argue that because a man earns more income and therefore pays more in tax he should pay less for the use of a social utility such as public transport or that he should pay less for a loaf of bread or for anything that he uses in the community. [More…]
Because of the inherent strengths and weaknesses of human nature, as soon as the rights and incentives of the professional man to practise in a free, competitive society are taken away and he is forced to work in a government machine, creative achievements, ingenious new techniques, break-throughs in knowledge and further explorations of the perplexing problems of mankind cease and we are all reduced to a level of mediocrity. [More…]
It goes further and says to the man whose wife is working: ‘We will not only take 1.35 per cent off your income in tax, but we will also take it off your wife’. [More…]
The man who runs the Ontario health scheme- nowadays Canada is the criterion for all things, and Ontario is the place from where a lot of this health scheme was taken- said this: [More…]
The fact of the matter is that if these Bills are passed, as the march of numbers means they will be, it is certain that every man sitting on the Government side of the chamber who votes for them will rue the day, because it is an absolute certainty that each generation will pass on its achievements or its failures. [More…]
How could a man say that and believe it- one would expect a Prime Minister to believe what he is saying- and within 7 months escalate his estimate from being cheaper than the present scheme to 21/2 times the cost of the present scheme? [More…]
Under the Labor scheme, if it had started on 1 July of this year, a family man with a taxable income of $2,500- that is a man who earns only a little more than $50 a week- would have to pay a special taxation levy of 1.35 per cent. [More…]
Under the present subsidised health benefits plan- imperfect though it is- with the recent alterations, a family man can earn up to $3,500 and be completely covered for hospital and medical benefits with the Government paying his contributions and he still does not have to pay any special tax levy. [More…]
The newspaper report states quite clearly that the health bill for the average family man will increase by 82 per cent. [More…]
Mr Acting Chairman, the Government should stop its senseless, socialist stampede for a costly, unworkable scheme that will reduce health care standards, reduce freedom of choice and put many of our hospitals at peril. [More…]
That is human nature. [More…]
Even the members of the Opposition have confessed that their scheme leaves many people out in the cold. [More…]
The very basis of the program submitted here by my Party is to make sure that the hard-working family man is not plunged into poverty through his inability to afford health insurance. [More…]
Too many Australians-more than a million in fact- have no protection against the high cost of illness and injury. [More…]
Too many Australians, particularly those who live away from the centre of our major cities- I thought that the Country Party would have looked at that- have inadequate access to high quality hospitals and medical services. [More…]
Too many Australians suffer from a system which makes it cheaper for a wealthy man to insure himself against medical charges than for people who are not wealthy. [More…]
One woman said: ‘Why watch that bunch acting like children when you can see the real thing in “Romper Room”?’ [More…]
However, according to this newspaper man, one person, the secretary of an old age pensioners’ society, watched the telecast from beginning to end. [More…]
You will have a black man to look after you’. [More…]
They ought to be on their knees and thankful for having a man of his competence in this place. [More…]
-Thank you, Mr Acting Chairman. [More…]
It is not the private life of a man in public life when he is able to fiddle the mining shares, but I will make these references - [More…]
The influence of the man is such that every night, when I go down on my knees and say my prayers, I say: ‘Please God, may the Labor Party never take Senator Keeffe away from North Queensland’. [More…]
We heard this great hymn, this great tirade, this great deceit- a grand deceit among many grand deceits- of telling the Australian people that this country was being sold down the drain, that it was being sold out to multi-national companies, and all the other things-the type of thing that Senator Keeffe raised tonight- that Government supporters throw into the ring. [More…]
I do not say anything personal against him, but he is now identified in foreign money markets as the man who has brought this country to the status of a banana republic. [More…]
Government supporters would have you believe that they have won the support of the average working man, the small miner, the fellow who slaves underground. [More…]
It is quite a remarkable thing that in the electorate of Kalgoorlie there was a tremendous swing in votes against a man who was highly regarded in that area but who had one great burden to carry. [More…]
The Government has succeeded in destroying the hopes of that man. [More…]
It is a report which was prepared quite hurriedly by one man. [More…]
Obviously there are very many errors in it. [More…]
I noticed in this morning’s Press that Professor Callaway indicated that he felt that this young man wanted to go back to Russia. [More…]
He said also that the young man was quite relaxed, and this was the view of my officer. [More…]
I tried to get another Foreign Affairs man over to Perth but the fog in Canberra this morning put paid to that little exercise. [More…]
However, we have our own local man over there. [More…]
Yes, our man will be there. [More…]
He spent a lot of the afternoon with our man, who told me last night by telephone that overall he probably had about 2Vi hours with Mr Ermolenko. [More…]
The Opposition attitude, in my view, illustrates President Roosevelt’s definition of the common man whom he once described as ‘the forgotten man at the bottom of the economic pyramid.’ [More…]
The information placed before the Senate, and the latest information which the Minister for Foreign Affairs has put and which I have in my possession, is that the young man says that he wants to leave Australia. [More…]
It says that the man be not permitted, even if he wishes, to leave Australia until certain things happen. [More…]
The Opposition dares to put a motion asking for the debate on the Trade Practices Bill to be adjourned in order to bring on a motion couched in terms that allege, without a shred of evidence, that the Russian Embassy has brought pressure upon the young man. [More…]
The motion now before us is just an impertinence and a stunt by the Opposition to create some hysteria and to arouse people in relation to the future of a young man whose future obviously is held in high regard by the Minister for Foreign Affairs who is attending to this matter and by the Government. [More…]
I think that at least half the population and many observers of the Senate would think that the actions of the Senate have not been in accordance with the best principles of parliamentary democracy. [More…]
The Minister for Foreign Affairs is doing all he can in this situation to help the young man. [More…]
Honourable senators have heard that the Supreme Court of Western Australia has issued a proceeding, by way of habeas corpus, directed to people, including a Commonwealth police officer who has neither custody nor control of the young man, explaining why he should not be allowed to do what he wants to do. [More…]
The young man manifestly is being allowed to consult persons and to do what he wants, yet the proposal is that we suspend the Standing Orders in order to consider a motion that the young man be not permitted to leave Australia even if he wants to do so. [More…]
Presumably if this matter proceeds we will hear from the mover of the motion under what law persons are supposed to prevent this young man from leaving Australia if he wants to do so. [More…]
Is some authority of the Government going to be asked to prevent this young man from doing what he wants to do? [More…]
As far as I know it is unprecedented to break into a debate in this manner to entertain a motion of this kind. [More…]
They ask for the time of the Senate in order to treat this young man and his future as a political football. [More…]
This morning the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Willesee, in answer to Opposition questions, which I believe were restrained and to the point, indicated some steps that he was taking or had taken to ensure that a proper investigation would be made of the real intentions and desires of this young man. [More…]
The young man was then taken down to the University to obtain some of his possessions. [More…]
His most precious possession, one from which he was never parted throughout the conference, a violin worth many thousands of dollars, has been in the home of the Reverend Mr. Johnson. [More…]
Also in attendance was a host of Press men estimated by Mr Medcalf, who spoke to me, as being as many as fifteen. [More…]
This was the small intimate gathering at which this young man would be able to indicate in a private atmosphere what his innermost feelings were, without the pressures of a public service gathering. [More…]
The fact of the matter is that it is an attempt to satisfy a concern that is felt very greatly by many people, certainly in Western Australia and I believe throughout the whole nation. [More…]
The people who are concerned with this matter in Perth, as I have said, are not only those people who have befriended this young man and whom he has taken as his friends- in particular, I mention again the Reverend Mr Johnson and Mr Badger, and also the Reverend Mr Borthwick - [More…]
As I said, there is this very grave public concern, which we certainly share, as to the true attitude and wishes of this young man. [More…]
These people have indicated on oath, as clearly as they could, their own deep conviction that this young man wished to remain in Australia until he disappeared into the bowels of the Parmelia Hotel with Professor Kabalevsky at 1 1 o’clock yesterday morning. [More…]
But is it reasonable that the man should be in the constant company of and be constantly attended by the Russian Embassy official, Alexandroff, since 1 1 o’clock yesterday morning? [More…]
The Government has not seen fit to ensure that this young man has an opportunity of a discussion free from the influence of the Russian Embassy official, an opportunity to talk with men of goodwill who have been his friends and to whom he has, as I have said, indicated his wish to remain in Australia. [More…]
Only urgent action by the Government, and in particular by the Minister for Foreign Affairs can, in these circumstances, prevent this event taking place before this young man has been able really to indicate free of any influence whatsoever what his real intentions are, whether he really wants to return to Russia or to remain in Australia. [More…]
I repeat what I said this morning: There has been only one thing in my mind right from the very start, that is, not only to obtain what this man’s free wish is, but also to show the Australian people as best we can what his wishes are. [More…]
Anybody who leads a big strike naturally attracts the ire of many people and he has been under all sorts of cross fire. [More…]
But if it were not for Mr Cowles, this man would have been out of the country last Monday night. [More…]
But Mr Cowles is the man of the Transport Workers Union. [More…]
I tried because it was the only way I could think of last night to bring this matter to a head and to give this man a chance to make a statement. [More…]
Edgley, a very well known businessman throughout Australia, as were his father and uncle before him, came into the picture. [More…]
I am not sure when he started to do so but certainly he has been bringing Russian entertainers to Australia for many years. [More…]
Mr Michael Edgley is a very capable and likeable young man and he has taken an interest in this matter. [More…]
Mr Cowles, one of the people who has been a prime mover in keeping Mr Ermolenko here, and Mr Bluck, a man I know particularly well- a capable and a very well-balanced manand Mr Michael Edgley who is certainly known to me and I think is probably known to most of us, were completely satisfied that Mr Ermolenko wanted to leave Australia. [More…]
I return to this point: I, on behalf of the Government, had only one thing in mind, and that was that this young man of 18 years of age should state what he wanted and that his decision should be carried out. [More…]
The motion states that we should prevent this man from leaving the country. [More…]
There is no industrial reason, because the unions have been convinced that this man, of his own free will, wants to return to his homeland. [More…]
I must say that if the Opposition had really been concerned about the fate of this man and had not been concerned only with making cheap political capital at his expense it would have come to the Government and offered suggestions as to how it believed this matter should have been handled instead of waiting to go off at the last moment in order to try to discredit the Government and to place this man in a bad situation as far as his own country is concerned. [More…]
They were concerned about the fact that there could be a deprivation of this man’s civil liberties. [More…]
He tried to set up a situation whereby everybody, so far as was humanly possible, could be satisfied that the man was making a decision of his own free will and so that we were not a party to the shanghai-ing of somebody to this country. [More…]
But is it suggested that the man is in such a psychotic condition that after having been tested to determine whether he had been drugged and it was found that he has not been drugged, and after having present a Liberal Party member of Parliament, a right wing union official, a left wing union official and a representative of the Australian Journalists Association he is still unable to answer the question? [More…]
Surely all we can do is to go to the man and say: ‘There are people down here who are interested in your case, who have understood that you cannot leave the country and who want to discuss the matter with you’. [More…]
He is so used to wallowing in the mire and he is so used to the stereotypes of the little old ladies in white tennis shoes that he thinks Cowles must be a Russian spy because he leads an industrial action and he refuses to believe that Cowles has taken, at cost to his own members, who have already been subject to all sorts of scurrilous abuse, action to prevent a man, who as it would appear, is perhaps being involuntarily taken back to a country to which he did not want to go. [More…]
The position at the moment is that the man is still in Australia. [More…]
But at the same time, if we were to do the sorts of things which are clearly implied if not expressly stated in the tabled documents, that somehow we should forcibly separate this man from Professor Kabalevsky - [More…]
Senator Wright asks why we do not try a request that they disembarrass the man by withdrawing. [More…]
The position is that the man will still be here for some more hours. [More…]
It is not one which is helpful to the man in question. [More…]
If members of the Opposition believe the things which they say, and which I certainly believe in part, about the nature of the political system in the Soviet Union, they should realize that what they are doing is placing this man in a position which, if he does now go back into the Soviet Union after this sort of thing, the position will be very serious for him. [More…]
That raises many conjectures. [More…]
I do not know whether this gentleman entered into any contract. [More…]
Therefore, the whole factor is that there is no information except that a man might want to stay here in Australia. [More…]
I should like to know what distinguishes this man from other people who would like to stay in Australia but are not allowed to do so. [More…]
Senator Durack raised this matter in a very restrained manner. [More…]
The Minister for Foreign Affairs (Senator Willesee) replied, I believe, in a restrained manner. [More…]
The Minister for Foreign Affairs referred to the fact that many genuine people are concerned for the fate of this young man. [More…]
There are many people right across the political spectrum who are concerned about the rights of this young man, and this is the only matter in which we should be interested. [More…]
Flamboyant speeches do not help this young man or his future. [More…]
It merely asks, I believe, for what the Minister wants and what we want- that this young man should not be subject to improper and undue pressures. [More…]
One case involved a Polish seaman some time ago who was put into a psychiatric hospital because the captain of his ship declared him to be insane. [More…]
We know all too well the threats that have been made against this young man. [More…]
All we ask is a simple thing: That this young man be isolated at some stage from the pressures of the Russians, that he be allowed to talk to those to whom he originally went, the Rev. [More…]
All we ask is that this young man be given the opportunity, free from intimidation and threats, to talk to those whom he originally trusted in order to make up his mind as to whether he wishes to remain in Australia or return to the Soviet Union. [More…]
You can talk as much as you like, my friend, but never talk about civil liberties again unless you are prepared to admit that this young man is entitled to make up his own mind free of duress. [More…]
Is the honourable senator making the allegation against Mr Badger and the Reverend Mr Johnson that they tried to intimidate this young man? [More…]
So we can only suppose that this young man made the original decision of his own free will. [More…]
The simple answer is that before this young man leaves Australia- whether it is at the airport or when he leaves the hotel or wherever it issomebody, either from the Department of Foreign Affairs or from the Commonwealth Police, should take him aside and say: ‘Do you wish to speak to these people whom you originally went to before you leave Australia to declare whether you wish to stay here or whether you do not?’ [More…]
I can only say that I am horrified that Senator Georges, who has risen in this place so often and made frantic appeals about civil liberties, is prepared to deny this young man the right to make a decision free from coercion. [More…]
It is an appeal that, before this young man leaves Australia, he be able to express his free choice, free from these people. [More…]
If this young man leaves this country with the suspicion that he is leaving under duress and that he has not had the opportunity to express his choice freely, it will be shame on this country and greater shame on the Government of this country. [More…]
-I am aware of the meeting of those persons who are alleged to have an interest in the young man. [More…]
In a Senate where, as everyone knows, the numbers are equal, it is rather strange to hear this demand from a meeting of prominent Liberals and, I understand, an Australian Democratic Labor Party secretary of some trade union who has interested himself in the matter. [More…]
It is strange that they should require, insist and demand that the Minister for Foreign Affairs, who is able to perform his duties in his usual efficient manner to the satisfaction of all, abandon his place of work and the place where his vote is critical and fly across to Perth. [More…]
Is not Andre Sakharov a man who thoughout the world is reputed for the sufferings he has undergone in defence of the civil liberties which he claims ought to be the right of the Russian people? [More…]
To what extent is the Government relying upon Professor Kabalevsky as giving an independent and disinterested view of what this young man Ermolenko has actually been stating? [More…]
Will the Government assure the Senate that it does not regard Professor Kabalevsky as in any way a disinterested person with regard to human rights and civil liberties? [More…]
Now he stands here and says that he is antiLabor; but there would not be a stronger Labor man in the Senate than Senator Hall. [More…]
No man has ever been able to solve the problem which the honourable senator puts to me. [More…]
For instance, there is the very action of negligence that is founded on the concept that an employer or manufacturer must take reasonable care to provide proper equipment and put in a proper and safe system of work. [More…]
I referred to a man who in the natural course of business has built up a market which gives him a natural predominance in a market so that he has an advantage over a new competitor or an old competitor. [More…]
A man who is in public life and is a member of Parliament takes upon himself the risk of being criticised in a political way. [More…]
I emphasise that all of these people saw Mr Ermolenko while no Russians, either Embassy officials or fellow musicians, were present: Mr Michael Edgley, a nationally known businessman and entrepreneur, Mr Rob Cowles, the Western Australian secretary of the Transport Workers Union and Mr Harry Bluck secretary of the Western Australian branch of the Musicians Union. [More…]
I may say that I asked Mr Tonkin whether he would go to see Mr Ermolenko because I wanted a man who I believe, irrespective of politics, is completely accepted politically by the Western Australian people, to see Mr Ermolenko. [More…]
He is a man who I know is incapable of telling a lie or of being dishonest. [More…]
Mr Coleman, the secretary of the Trades and Labour Council, has also seen Mr Ermolenko and is quite satisfied about the genuineness of his desire to return to the Soviet Union. [More…]
I talked to Mr Coleman about that. [More…]
who have made this unfortunate incident the occasion for detaining a young man in Australia against his will for the sake of what they see as the making of cheap political capital and the opportunity to embarrass the Russian and Australian Governments, both of which they would like to see fall. [More…]
I am also amazed at the extraordinary silence in the last day or so when it appears that the freedom of the young man to leave Australia is being impaired. [More…]
The Opposition is prepared to sacrifice human freedom and civil liberties on the altar of political stunting. [More…]
What about some civil liberties for this young man? [More…]
But the fact is the young man is not going to see Mr Johnson; he has refused several times to do so. [More…]
I do not know how many more people want to see Mr Ermolenko. [More…]
I think I should say that the Russians have been pretty fair in allowing their man to go out of the room while this interview was going on. [More…]
But would one of us really be intimidated if a Liberal Party or Labor Party man were sitting opposite? [More…]
But my colleagues and I are concerned with the little man out in the suburbs who has a debt of $200 to a plumber who has not done his work properly or who has a shoddy car that was sold to him for $500 and who wants to get a quick decision. [More…]
The little man from the suburbs who is complaining about a plumber’s bill or about a car that he bought for $500 wants to get his remedy in a State court according to a State law. [More…]
They will continue to exist in a befogged state of the law in which the commercial community will have an immense advantage by its being able to litigate those intricate issues that are costly and thereby prevent the small man ever going to law. [More…]
If one uses the standard of reasonable doubt one has to establish that the man is, shall we say, guilty of what he is charged with in accordance with the traditional concept which I think, with regard to criminal conduct, none of us would want to alter. [More…]
I do not know what Senator Murphy might feel in the years to come, but I think it is an unwise man who cannot admit to error when he becomes quite confident that there was error in the past. [More…]
Why did the Government ignore the fact that the Supreme Court of Western Australia was considering the question on the evidence placed before it on affidavit as to whether this man Ermolenko was being held under duress by the Russians and that the court was expecting Ermolenko to appear before it today? [More…]
-I notice that Senator Durack and Senator Greenwood who are both lawyers keep referring to the fact that the man Ermolenko has been held in custody. [More…]
If anybody was keeping anybody else in custody, it was members of the community keeping this man in custody and preventing him from returning home. [More…]
It is unfortunate that the man who made the statement to which I have referred, showing of his short-sighted interest in this matter, came from the southern area of the State. [More…]
We knew long before Senator Townley came into the chamber how he would vote on this and many other questions. [More…]
I do not know that there are many beef roads in Tasmania and I do not think it would be fitting for the Minister for Northern Development to have discussions on beef roads in Tasmania. [More…]
Nevertheless, he is the man responsible for beef roads in the Northern Territory. [More…]
Although 755,000 man hours have been lost this year, half of that lost time is due to disputes concerning the arrangements involved in formulating a new agreement. [More…]
The previous Government took many years to settle the first agreement. [More…]
After the disputes which surrounded the first agreement, there was relative peace on the waterfront for many years. [More…]
The Australian oil seeds man does not need to be pushing this particular fact. [More…]
Having reached the pinnacle of a distinguished public career, Sir John will not be able to enjoy the support, encouragement and company that any married man needs. [More…]
Mr President, it is with deep regret that I inform the Senate of the death on 3 1 August this year of the Right Honourable Norman Kirk, Prime Minister of New Zealand. [More…]
Norman Kirk became Prime Minister of New Zealand in 1972, just a week before this Government took office in Australia. [More…]
He was a man who won the affection not only of his people in New Zealand but of all those who knew him. [More…]
He was truly a self-made man. [More…]
To show that his concern with the South Pacific was not in principle only, Norman Kirk increased aid to the South Pacific countries from 40 per cent to 55 per cent of the New Zealand aid budget. [More…]
He was a man of great compassion and sought to achieve things by deliberation rather than by precipitation. [More…]
Norman Kirk fought hard to win office for his Party. [More…]
It is a personal tragedy that a man who has won such office should have it so abruptly denied him. [More…]
It is a personal tragedy that Norman Kirk should have been denied the opportunity to put into effect the philosophy and principles in which he believed, on which he campaigned and on which he won office. [More…]
There was much in Norman Kirk that all of us admire in a political leader and in a man. [More…]
Australians share special ties with New Zealand, and Norman Kirk did a lot to strengthen the links between us. [More…]
The world will pay thanks to Norman Kirk for his strong and unqualified stand in opposing nuclear testing, particularly in the Pacific area. [More…]
We in the Liberal Party will co-operate to ensure that this contribution by Norman Kirk is carried on. [More…]
Norman Kirk was one of New Zealand’s foremost Prime Ministers. [More…]
Abroad he commanded genuine admiration and respect. [More…]
He had both the background and the ability to remain in close touch with the battler and the man in the street and he did this to his country’s gain. [More…]
Everywhere one heard sincere expressions of New Zealand’s great loss at a time when the nation needed such a man and such a leader. [More…]
I do not think that anybody could fail to have a great admiration for a man who grew from origins of rural poverty in the South Island of New Zealand not only to be Prime Minister of his country but also to be an international figure. [More…]
I think I can truthfully say that I have never seen so many people publicly show so much obvious grief as was shown at this service, particularly by the Maori people. [More…]
In many respects Norman Kirk can be regarded as a man who was a model social democrat, a man who stood for parliamentary democracy, for orderly processes of law at the same time coupled with the alleviation of the conditions of the people of his country and of other countries with which his country came into association, not by warlike, aggressive or belligerent actions but by cooperation and by entering into a peaceful social contract. [More…]
Although he was a man of small stature he had a heart as big as that of a man twice his size. [More…]
He represented the Western Australian branch of the Returned Services League on the State executive of that organisation for many years. [More…]
He was the founder and the president for many years of the Australian Spastic Welfare Association and was responsible for conducting the Miss Australia contest in his State for many years. [More…]
He was also the organising chairman of the Commonwealth Paraplegic Games held in Perth in 1962. [More…]
I was very happy to see many people representing these 2 organisations at his funeral. [More…]
I feel that Western Australia will sadly miss the work and effort that this man has at all times displayed both in and out of Parliament on behalf of those people. [More…]
I ask: Was the Minister aware of what was said by this young man during his interview on the Monday of that week with the Department of Immigration? [More…]
Is he aware of statements attributed to the head of the Department of Immigration in Perth that, at that interview, the young man made clear that he wanted to remain in Australia? [More…]
The young man had come here on a cultural exchange, and he expressed his wish to go home and wanted to go home but people were stopping him. [More…]
He withheld information as to why he decided that a young man who had expressed a desire to remain in Australia should be taken out of Australia before the courts had an opportunity to consider whether he did in fact want to remain in this country. [More…]
Yet in the week in which these events were unfolded the Minister had said ‘the overwhelming evidence points to the fact that this young man wants to go back to Russia’. [More…]
If at that conference with the Department of Labor and Immigration this young man said that he wanted to remain in this country and he indicated that he was prepared to take the steps to apply for permission to remain in this country, why did the Minister not inform the Parliament of that fact during the week we were asking him questions? [More…]
If the account indicates that the young man did not wish to remain in Australia of course it verifies entirely what the Minister has said, and 1 suppose it helps the young man’s own case with his own governmental authorities. [More…]
The account as related by them indicates that they endeavoured to test the young man’s view as to whether or not he genuinely wanted to remain. [More…]
But I would have thought that if there were a spark of concern for human rights and liberty that undertaking would have been given. [More…]
If, in fact, at the end of that 24 hour period it was apparent that the young man had decided to go back to Russia- there may have been some who would have had their doubts- the processes which we accept would have been utilised in order to have that issue decided. [More…]
There have, of course, been questions as to whether this man did in fact evince a desire to remain in Australia. [More…]
That application was supported by affidavits- an affidavit by Mr Badger, who related what Ermolenko had told him; an affidavit by Mr Johnson, who related what Mr Ermolenko had told him; and an affidavit by a lady, Judith Berry Bateman. [More…]
I believe that the worst feature of a shameful week was the fact that within 24 hours of the court being asked to decide the fundamental question of whether or not there was a prima facie case that this man was being held against his will- there were indications both ways- the Minister so organised Ermolenko ‘s departure that the court was not able to decide that fundamental issue. [More…]
Why did he decide that his judgment that this man was not being held against his will should prevail over the competing views of other individuals? [More…]
That interpreter expressed the view that he was not speaking his mind because he was under the influence of the Russian who was in the room; that Ermolenko appeared to be deferring to that man. [More…]
I trust that Mr Garland still thinks that he is a truthful and honest man. [More…]
Firstly, this young man twice said that he wanted to stay in Australia. [More…]
On the afternoon I flew Ermolenko out we had a telephone call from the man second in charge of the the airport in Perth asking us what the situation was because he was frankly worried about the ugliness of the crowd there. [More…]
That was the attitude of a man skilled in the art of airport handling. [More…]
Mr Garland is the man who has been very proud of the part he played in it. [More…]
-This is the man who said that he had not taken any action on Sunday and Monday. [More…]
Here was a young man who had come here not as a KGB agent and not as a spy. [More…]
We could have acceded to what they wanted us to do, which was evidently to arrest Ermolenko and take him to a safe place of detention against the man’s wishes. [More…]
-All I say about the Ermolenko affair is that the socalled explanation of the Minister for Foreign Affairs (Senator Willessee) has left as many questions unanswered as answered. [More…]
I think it is very unfortunate that the Minister referred to the people at the Perth airport as a mob of louts because among that ‘mob of louts’ were many unionists- members of the Transport Workers Union- many university students whose allegiance, I understand, in some cases is to the Australian Labor Party, and many other people of goodwill. [More…]
It was a shambles from the very moment that this young man asked to remain in Australia and was allowed to be placed in the hands of the Russians. [More…]
From that moment when the Russians sent across a sinister character, Alexandrov, whom one suspects is a KGB man, we could never learn the truth. [More…]
We can never be sure that from that time this man was not under continuous duress. [More…]
It will be interesting to see when the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Prime Minister go to the meeting of the United Nations whether they will seek to protect the human rights and civil liberties of the peoples of the Baltic states. [More…]
But it is only a few short months ago that the Prime Minister, the man who made this shameful decision, was speaking in these high moral tones. [More…]
Finally, the Government seems to have accepted the dangerous assumption that detente is a permanent feature of the world scene. [More…]
I have said before that this is indeed a dangerous assumption because the chances of permanent detente are no greater than the chances of instability. [More…]
Indeed many of them see the danger of increasing instability in the region. [More…]
This is the man who a short while ago rejected the possibility of a threat to Australia within 10 to 15 years. [More…]
He was conscious of the very difficult situation that the young man was in. [More…]
He told the Senate honestly what had happened, that the young man had expressed some desire to remain in this country and then he had changed his mind in his expressions. [More…]
The Minister said that he wanted to satisfy himself as to what the young man’s intentions were, and he indicated very clearly that he was prepared to abide by them. [More…]
It must have been a very agonising time for him to try to determine what was in the mind of a young man of 18 years who had expressed himself one way on one occasion and the other way consistently on other occasions. [More…]
It is said that he should have produced some transcript of a confidential conversation which the young man had. [More…]
What right has the Minister to break the confidence of the young man and to produce to the Senate or publicly what was said in confidence by the young man, whether to an official of the Australian Government or to anyone else? [More…]
He has no right to break the privacy of the young man. [More…]
The next thing that was said, in a very colourful way, was that the Minister has prevented the courts of this country from determinng the issue of whether the young man wanted to go back to the Soviet Union. [More…]
The courts were never asked to determine the issue of whether this young man wanted to go back to the Soviet Union. [More…]
The Supreme Court of Western Australia was asked, in a very curious proceeding, to determine the question of whether the young man was being detained by a Mr Alexadrov and by an officer of the Commonwealth Police. [More…]
That was a proceeding in habeas corpus, not a proceeding to determine what was in the mind of the young man as to where he wanted to go. [More…]
The proceeding was one of habeas corpus- to have the young man released from the custody in which it was alleged he was being detained. [More…]
In relation to the proceeding in which it was alleged that the Commonwealth Police had detained the young man in custody, the Supreme [More…]
Yet it was alleged here that Mr Alexandrov and the Commonwealth Police had detained this young man in custody. [More…]
Obviously Mr Alexandrov did not have the young man in custody. [More…]
In fact during some part of the week it is apparent that Mr Alexandrov was out of the State of Western Australia where the young man was and was over here in Canberra. [More…]
It is suggested that in some way Senator Willesee was defying and preventing the court from determining the issue of whether the young man was being detained in custody by Mr Alexandrov and the Commonwealth Police officer who had already been dismissed from the case, with costs. [More…]
Is he going to suggest that in some way Senator Willesee was usurping the role of the courts in respect of a proceeding relating to the detention of the young man? [More…]
The Commonwealth Police are alleged to have detained a young man. [More…]
In relation to the matter of Mr Ermolenko, I think everyone was impressed with the Minister’s sincerity and his endeavour to deal properly with the problems of that young man. [More…]
It must have been a great shock to honourable senators opposite when he read out the words of the reverend gentleman who had been closely associated with the young man in Western Australia and who expressed the view that he had no criticism of the way in which the Government had dealt with the affair. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite speak of human rights, but one of the worst things moved in this Parliament was the proposition put forward by the Opposition during the course of the affair. [More…]
Senator Murphy tried to put the proposition that the judge thanked counsel for the Australian Government because he was saying: ‘Senator Willesee is a very good man; therefore I thank his counsel. ‘ [More…]
The one thing which I should do at the beginning- and I must say that I feel constrained to do it- is to congratulate the Deputy Leader of the Opposition (Senator Greenwood) on the very fine feelings for human rights and civil liberties to which he has so recently been converted. [More…]
I found a Commonwealth policeman who had been sent there at the instructions of the then AttorneyGeneral, Senator Greenwood, to interrogate me as to why I had authorised an advertisement in a newspaper in relation to the National Service Act. [More…]
I find it very interesting that Senator Greenwood, who sent in the Commonwealth Police to arrest demonstrators at the Melbourne University, and who sent the Commonwealth Police to investigate and interrogate members of this Parliament for exercising this freedom of speech which he believes is so essential in the Soviet Union but which at least in the past he did not think was of any value in this country, has today emerged as the champion of human rights, the champion of civil liberties and the man who says that a person should be able to get up and say what he likes whenever he wants to say it and that he should not be interrogated by the police, that he should be free to insert advertisements in newspapers and should be free to demonstrate at the Melbourne University or at the Perth airport or anywhere else. [More…]
He is so sensitive, he gave such an earnest example of it when he was AttorneyGeneral, that because we do not want to upset this man’s delicate sensibilities we are going to place Mr Ermolenko under arrest and compel him, whether he wants to or not, to spend 24 hours in the company of the Reverend Mr Johnson and/or the Reverend Mr Borthwick, and then we will have another look at it after he has discussed these matters with these clerical gentlemen. ‘ [More…]
What strange quirks happen in that man’s mind. [More…]
It would have been wonderful’: He said in that part of his speech how important it would have been for this young man to have been got away from the Russian diplomats and be given a chance to be free from them to make up his mind. [More…]
He admitted the failure of the Minister and the failure of the Government, including the Attorney-General, to get this young man away from what was some three to four days virtual captivity by officers of the Russian Embassy. [More…]
Solzhenitsyn’s books are today vivid testimony of the fact that if a man or a free nation is condemned to captivity under such a country, they are condemned to a likelihood of a kind of captivity, a kind of torture, including bloody murder, the like of which in our lifetime we have not seen. [More…]
I say that it is intolerable if, in Australia, a Minister rises in the Parliament, as the Minister for Foreign Affairs has done today, and confesses that he saw no way of disallowing a situation which, based on the history of the Russians and even the Russians in this country, allows a foreign embassy, not on embassy soil even, to remain in continuous contact with, and therefore placing continuous duress on, that young man. [More…]
It is no good saying that the young man could have left. [More…]
Smirnov, the Charge d ‘Affaires, in order to ask him to remove his officials for a day or two so that the young man could make up his mind? [More…]
Is there any suggestion that there was any approach to the Russian Embassy to give the young man a breathing space? [More…]
Everything was done to get this young man out of the country. [More…]
In relation to the Ermolenko case the Minister for Foreign Affairs said- in his own words a confession of failure and abdicationthat it would have been good to have had the man free to make up his mind, but it had not happened. [More…]
This brings me to examine the curious insensitivity which honourable senators opposite have shown to the human aspects of this story. [More…]
Here was a young artist, a young man aged 18 years. [More…]
I was suggesting that in considering this matter the Opposition had been peculiarly insensitive to the human aspects of this matter. [More…]
It is not at all surprising that a young man could have been temporarily persuaded that he wanted to live in this country or, indeed, in any country other than the one from which he had come. [More…]
It is a sort of naive simplification of human complexity that leads the Opposition into believing that because Russia is a country with manifest shortcomingsshortcomings to which I have adverted in previous debates in this chamber- people who have an opportunity to leave Russia must clutch at the first opportunity that comes along to get out of the place. [More…]
He is a man who went to war, was taken prisoner of war, came back to his own country and was immediately exiled to the harshest of concentration camps, spent many years in hardship in these concentration camps - [More…]
He was a man who underwent all these hardships, a man who wrote about these hardships, a man who was persecuted for his beliefs and a man who had to circulate his literary works in the Soviet underground. [More…]
Yet, despite all those hardships this was a man who had to be forcibly ejected from his native country. [More…]
I refer to Boris Pasternak, the author of Dr Zhivago and of many other less known works, including translations of Shakespeare and other poets. [More…]
Pasternak was a man who also suffered from the repressive regime of the Soviet Union. [More…]
But anybody who has read his works must be impressed with his passionate love of his own country and with the intense patriotism of this man who was fully conscious of all of the shortcomings of the Soviet regime. [More…]
If the Opposition senators had this human understanding of the problems of Soviet citizens who hate the repression of the Soviet regime but who still love their country, they would not take nearly such a simplistic view of the vacillations of this young man or of this little human tragedy which, to the members of the Opposition apparently, was just a matter of an opportunity to score some political advantage against the Government. [More…]
This man as I see it, this young impressionable artistic man, went through agonies for a few days. [More…]
I say that none of us sitting here in our ivory tower are entitled to pontificate on the agonies of this young man and to suggest that any of us has any positive evidence about his final wish. [More…]
To suggest that anybody is in possession of evidence that he was kidnapped by the secret police and that our humane, tolerant, non-fanatical Minister for Foreign Affairs whose record will stand up to the epithets that I have attached to him was somehow acting as a stooge of the Soviet Union and went along with the idea of a kidnapping so that our Prime Minister would have a red carpet when he went to Moscow is in my view in the realm of spy fiction fantasy land. [More…]
-Senator Greenwood is one who has asserted, as a man who insists on hard evidence before anyone is to be convicted, that the evidence is overwhelmingly in favour of the proposition that this man was dragged away from Australia against his free will. [More…]
Senator Greenwood spoke of this man being spirited out of this country and made to do things against his will. [More…]
My recollection is that Senator Greenwood asserted positively that there was evidence upon which we should form a judgment that this man was spirited out of this country against his will. [More…]
Looking at this matter in a human light, it is eminently understandable that this young man, having on the spur of the moment decided that he wanted to stay in Australia, without any pressure from GPU men and without any pressure being exerted on the Australian authorities to intervene, could have changed his mind and decided that in the final analysis and on balance he preferred to go back to his own native country. [More…]
I do not find it difficult to believe- as I said, I have no more positive evidence than honourable senators opposite have- and I do not find it at all incomprehensible that this man would have decided to go back to the Soviet Union of his own free will. [More…]
Indeed, Senator Durack, another lawyer as well as being a senator, in a debate in this place on 13 August when this matter was hot and when the young man was in Perth going through this agony, went further and suggested that the Australian Government was duty bound to prevent him from leaving this country. [More…]
It is a most fragile web that has been spun by one man- Dr Kissinger. [More…]
I remind the Opposition and the people of Australia that the Opposition has used the argument that the Labor Party as a government and Senator Willesee as the Minister for Foreign Affairs should have used force to keep this man Ermolenko in Australia. [More…]
Many things other than politics could be involved in an 18-year-old wanting to stay in Western Australia. [More…]
This man wanted to stay for some reason but we do not know the reason. [More…]
This man had one desire and that was to go back to his homeland, and the Opposition is seeking to justify preventing him from being given the opportunity to go back. [More…]
The best the Government can offer to us by way of explanation is that at the moment the man is playing with some orchestra in West Berlin. [More…]
He may well be, and I hope that he has many future engagements and tours of duty throughout Europe and the rest of the world. [More…]
It is a statement by the man who, according to the Hansard from which I have quoted, made the decision in relation to the Baltic states. [More…]
Yet here in this letter the Prime Minister conveyed to this Council, which represents some 40,000 to 50,000 people in Australia and a whole lot of well wishers beyond, an assurance that the Labor Government would promote respect for and observance of basic human rights by all members of the United Nations. [More…]
There were the statements which were made to a woman journalist, doubts which were expressed by interpreters and other persons who believed from their assessment of what the man was saying that he was not speaking his mind in the various interviews they witnessed [More…]
All I say is that in those circumstances the question of whether or not the man was being held under duress ought not to be determined by a Minister and ought not to be determined by any individual who is under suspicion that he is serving his own, his Party’s or his Government’s interests. [More…]
Will this film, entitled ‘The Man From Hong Kong’, be predominantly Australian in content, or will it be a form of international co-production such as we have seen in the past? [More…]
I did see in one of this morning’s newspapers a report that a film entitled ‘The Man From Hong Kong’, which I understand is principally to be made in Sydney, and Central Australia generally, will be made at a cost of some $450,000. [More…]
Apart from the one Chinese leading man, I read that most if not all of the cast will be Australian. [More…]
We see the attitude that the explorer for minerals, the man who has spent the money and who has shown the initiative, does not have an assurance that he will have a title to the property. [More…]
I still believe that the overriding factor is the lack of knowledge given to this House and to the country by a man who is known generally as the Strangler’. [More…]
I found him a very genial man to talk to - [More…]
It is the right of every man, in Parliament or out of it, in the Press or over the broadcast, to make fair comment, even outspoken comment, on matters of public interest. [More…]
It has been said so many times by so many wise men that it takes a big man to admit a mistake. [More…]
He said: ‘Boy, white man, he say America buy cheap country. [More…]
White man, he buy Australia for red handkerchief and stick of ‘nigger twist’.’ [More…]
This body is chaired by a man whom I know personally- Mr Heffernan of Victoria. [More…]
He is a man of high calibre and high integrity. [More…]
If those who sit under his chairmanship are of the same calibre and integrity- I have no doubt that they are- then I believe that this organisation can be a strong link between the growers or the farmers and this Government or any other government. [More…]
I believe that, once this Council gets to work and sits down with the Minister and his advisers, many of the problems now confronting the primary industries will diminish. [More…]
However, Mr Snedden was the man who campaigned on the necessity of pruning the expenditure side of the Commonwealth Budget. [More…]
The state is probably the greatest exploiter of man and materials throughout history. [More…]
The province of government and the province of legislation envisaged, such as legislation on conciliation and arbitration, is primarily to prevent exploitation, whether it be of man or of materials. [More…]
A ballot was held and, despite the fact that the man in charge had been appointed by the Premier of New South Wales, one peculiar individual indulged in a good deal of litigation and it cost the union $9,000 in unnecessary expense. [More…]
For example, I ask honourable members to recall the Sydney dispute over the one-man buses. [More…]
I ask honourable senators not to run away with the idea that with a postal ballot there cannot be manipulation. [More…]
There can be manipulation in any society, even in our national and State elections. [More…]
As far as this subject of potential amalgamations is concerned, if we look at the matter closely we will see that there is no ideological conflict with many of them. [More…]
The secretary was a man named Outridge or something like that. [More…]
If ever a man deserved censure for his irresponsibility which arises out of those statements it is the Prime Minister. [More…]
And while it is out spending its inflationary gains and storing up disaster for the national economy, it moralises to the fictional man earning $70 a week, who has a non-working wife and 2 dependent children, that he will no longer have to pay any tax. [More…]
As one spokesman is reported as saying, if he has a wife and 2 children at 16, he has enough to worry about without tax as well. [More…]
At present a man earning $100 a week pays about $ 1 7.35 a week in tax. [More…]
However, if wages rise as the Treasurer expects they will, this same man will be earning $ 120 a week by the end of this financial year. [More…]
So the typical man will see the percentage of his wages going in tax rising from 1 7.35 per cent to 1 8.9 per cent. [More…]
Although the Government has granted this man lower taxes, by the end of the financial year he will be paying onesixth of his income in taxation. [More…]
Will this man believe that the Government’s actions oblige him to exercise wage restraint? [More…]
The basis of the drive of our economy in this country- the real drive- is the small businessman, the small entrepreneur, and, of course, the farmer and the professional man. [More…]
In most cases the small businessman is a real entrepreneur. [More…]
Many of them have been tradesmen who have worked hard, and have taken the risk of going into their own business in order to give themselves and their families the opportunity of greater security in the future, and greater opportunity to express their individual talents in thenown way as self-employed people. [More…]
What of the farmer, the man who has struggled, the person who has been prepared to battle all sorts of natural odds in his attempt to prosper and to contribute in his own way? [More…]
It appears that the spirit of the farmer is not easily dampened because so many of them hold on. [More…]
But there is abroad today, affecting the morale of the small businessman and the primary producer, a sense of despondency- a despondency that began well before the Budget and certainly has followed from it. [More…]
He will be remembered as a man who never shied away from a political fight and a man of great loyalty to his colleagues and to his principles. [More…]
The expressions of sympathy that were conveyed at that State ceremony yesterday to Lady Harrison and her family, and the widely representative groups that attended to convey their respects to the memory of the man who had passed away, made it a very moving occasion for us all. [More…]
But the life of Eric Harrison as a citizen, as a parliamentarian, as an ex-serviceman and as a diplomat could, I believe, be used as a model and pattern by any person in Australia who aspires to serve his country. [More…]
Eric Harrison was a man who did not come to public life blessed with the educational background which many people have in modern times. [More…]
He served in many portfolios. [More…]
As a very ambitious young man in parliamentary life I joined him on the hustings. [More…]
But he was a simple man in many ways. [More…]
Those qualities in truth helped to make him a better man to serve Australia. [More…]
He had a love of nature and an eagerness, right until his final illness, to serve Australia as he did as a citizen, as a family man, as a parliamentarian, as an ex-serviceman and as a diplomat. [More…]
He was a man blessed, until the last few years, with a magnificently strong physique, as all who knew him would know, a resonant voice and infinite good humour. [More…]
But I believe it should be said that in his own right he was a front runner as a politician, as a political fighter, and, indeed as a statesman representing Australia both here and abroad. [More…]
It is a tribute to the man that he carried that burden and that illness with unfailing good humour and with the resolve not to place a burden on others. [More…]
Conflict of interests surely is the most important matter for us to consider, but to me it is overridden by the knowledge that when a member is elected to the Senate or the House of Representatives or obtains public support by vote and is elected to a local council or to a State parliament there is a demonstration of public confidence in his record and an acknowledgement that he is a man of some repute, a man of honour who will vote fairly on matters. [More…]
Senator McLaren is a man who I understand has had an interest in the poultry industry for much of his life. [More…]
I have looked on him as a man who has some competence in that field. [More…]
We are in receipt of a high income and it would be to the benefit of the average working man to learn how we disburse our incomes. [More…]
-Now we hear from the brilliant Victorian senator, a man who gained all his knowledge from the backs of bus tickets and they are generally blank. [More…]
Any logical and sound thinking man must be concerned. [More…]
While there is a lot of talk in the community these days about the problems of man in society trying to live with either the corporations of capital or the corporations of labour, there also is the enormous problems looming of how man in a modern democracy is to survive against the statutory corporation. [More…]
However, it is impossible for one man to attend committee hearings into 27 departments. [More…]
Mr Connor is a man who is dogmatically concerned with coal mining and this sort of thing, which of course is important, but I do not think that Mr Connor has the capacity to look further forward than about a year or so by which time he will be out of government and will have left us with the problem of dealing with the future energy supplies of Australia. [More…]
I do not think that it becomes a member from a far distant State which has the protection of the most democratic system of State elections in the whole of Australia to object to a reference to an area about which he knows nothing and which has the worst gerrymander system in Australia. [More…]
The man who was called Uncle Tom’ was always known to me by the nickname of ‘Honest Tom’. [More…]
This was the man who kept in office for 21 years by fooling the people with a gerrymander. [More…]
For example, is a member of a resistance movement to be classified as an exserviceman? [More…]
Obviously there are very great difficulties in arriving at a definition not only of a theatre of war but of what constitutes an allied ex-service man or woman. [More…]
I do not know what the effect of it is, but I will look into it with the PostmasterGeneral who, as the honourable senator knows, is a wise and sympathetic man who will try to do the right thing by the people involved. [More…]
What lovely words of wisdom to fall from the mouth of the man who, as Treasurer, held the economic reins of this country for some two or three years and failed to arrest the inflationary trend. [More…]
The author of that article is an extremely enlightened man. [More…]
One man wanted to question these overseas companies, and that was John Grey Gorton, a former senator. [More…]
They have said: ‘Look senator, we know the statesmanship of Mr Kim Beazley, the Minister. [More…]
Eric Willis is a very difficult man. [More…]
I do not wish to be disparaging of Senator Drake-Brockman, because I like him as a man, but the general attitude of the Country Party and the Liberal Party to our relations with the United States has been to say: ‘Look, if the Labor Party takes on the Americans in relation to differences on foreign policy, the Americans will get even with us by means of trade’. [More…]
As a New South Welshman I was pleased that our report advocated a face lift for the Parramatta River and the George’s River. [More…]
The New South Wales Housing Commissioner, Mr Bourke- he was a Labor appointment; I have no objection to the man in one sense- was harping about the fact that the New South Wales Government wants to build houses on that section of the Parramatta River with which we dealt in our report. [More…]
For a very long period we heard only one spokesman on economic matters from the Opposition side. [More…]
That was the man who is occupying the position of Treasurer today. [More…]
It produces the goods and services which the people of this country apparently demand or want. [More…]
He is a big mining man, but is he a man who is living in a great house? [More…]
I was reminded this week of what Abraham Lincoln had to say on this subject and I would like to quote it because even in his day he recognised that one had to give incentive to a man to get something back. [More…]
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. [More…]
You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence. [More…]
You cannot help a man permanently by doing for him that which he can and should do for himself. [More…]
Sir Charles is, of course, a growth man, a simplistic growth man, and it was he who boasted loudest and longest during the 1960s of the ‘million acres a year’ being opened for agriculture in Western Australia. [More…]
We have had some publicity in all the States as the result of the Acting Prime Minister’s visit to Tasmania. [More…]
As soon as a Minister gets out of Canberra past Queanbeyan or Yass and faces a television commentator, radio journalist or Press man he makes a statement. [More…]
Many people in private enterprise who are in a superannuation scheme, on retirement at the age that they and their employers have chosen for their retirement, are paid a lump sum. [More…]
This will hurt the ordinary man and woman. [More…]
Mr Barnard was the man who advertised to try to put fear into the minds of the work force, the people and the electors in Tasmania by saying: [More…]
Mr Crean, I think, is an efficient and sincere man but no one would have believed that he was the Treasurer responsible for the financial and economic policies of the Government. [More…]
Is the Government arguing that a man on a taxable income of $6,000 is a wealthy man? [More…]
Is he in any better position than a man with a taxable income of $5,000 or $5,600? [More…]
In other words, the Government is still going to penalise the smaller man. [More…]
It is still penalising the small man for the sole purpose of placating the unions. [More…]
If it was a mistake why is the tax not being rescinded now before it affects many people? [More…]
Surely the story of history is such that it proves time and time again that the greatest exploiter of man and resources is the state. [More…]
But the Government has moved so quickly that the unemployment situation in the community will be disastrous for many people. [More…]
Labor is going to set up a national employment and training scheme but if you ask the Minister for Labor and Immigration what classification of work he will train one man for to assure him of a job he cannot tell you. [More…]
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by encouraging class hatred. [More…]
You cannot build character and courage by taking away man’s initiative and independence. [More…]
You cannot help a man permanently by doing for him that which he can and should do for himself. [More…]
Will he tell the Senate why it is necessary, as the term ‘ex-service man or woman’ has been in common use in Australia for over 50 years? [More…]
All this man did, or apparently knew how to do, was to place a stethoscope on the dead man’s chest for a brief period of 15 to 20 seconds and then pronounce the prisoner dead. [More…]
Often he struggled around the prison hospital ward and other prisoners complained because of his heavy breathing and nocturnal wanderings which kept them awake but no prisoner was in doubt regarding the fact that he was obviously a very sick man. [More…]
I am told he complained many times that he was receiving little or no treatment from the prisoner doctor. [More…]
The man was a middle-aged Aboriginal and Aborigines, incidentally, suffer more than white prisoners who, according to statements made to me, have suffered as well. [More…]
My informants tell me that there is documentary evidence to cover this accusation. [More…]
Many black prisoners are incarcerated for long periods of time in cages. [More…]
One man has told an informant: ‘While I’m in here I’m left alone’. [More…]
Some months ago a man committed suicide when he was supposed to be under strict observation. [More…]
A few days ago another young man who was a suicide risk died because he was not kept under strict observation. [More…]
This man had been receiving treatment for cuts to his wrists but he was able to hang himself with a bed sheet. [More…]
I am given to understand that the station was established as an essential link in the worldwide chain of stations that were set up to help the Apollo project originally to put a man on the moon. [More…]
I believe also that the Department of Manufacturing Industry is considering what sort of mementoes might be passed on to the local authorities at Carnarvon. [More…]
I think the Premier of Tasmania is known to be a fairly stubborn man. [More…]
We only regret that the man who speaks for the State of South Australia as he claims, as the Liberal Movement senator, was not prepared to speak on behalf of the State of Tasmania. [More…]
I do regret it, because Senator Hall comes here as the solitary independent from South Australia and as a States’ interest man and it is a matter of regret that he cannot speak up on behalf of another State. [More…]
Yesterday in the Wollongong courts a man was convicted of having a significant amount of heroin in his possession. [More…]
A man who had served 3 months in Stuart Creek on a charge of possession of cannabis said that when serving he heard of several wrong treatments by officers, especially male rapings and that several were locked up for no apparent reason. [More…]
According to the Minister, it is common practice for prisoners to manufacture illicit alcoholic beverages. [More…]
He is not the man who consolidated the sugar industry. [More…]
The sugar industry has been going for many years. [More…]
He was a man who was interested in the aesthetic things of life which showed he had a deeper insight than what would have been the case if the had taken an interest only in superficial things that some people might enjoy more. [More…]
Having been involved in substantial loss through various theatrical organisations and film making institutions which attempted the production of feature films and full length films, I say that film production, as I see it, for ultimate financial success needs strong financial management and competence. [More…]
In the last 10 years apparently the most financially successful man in Australia and the man who has headed the most successful run of films has been Hector Crawford. [More…]
Here is a man who is competent financially and obviously very experienced in the production of films and in the handling of problems that go with success and failure in the various fields of the industry. [More…]
That type of man along with the artists and writers make up the attraction for the public generally. [More…]
He did this in relation to Tasmania as late as last week, and that matter has been the subject of further remarks here tonight. [More…]
On this occasion he is free to accuse others of being socialists, but he wants to set up in the community an all-powerful government film making and distributing body, and let the private operators dance as the elephant said among the chickens- every man for himself. [More…]
Senator Greenwood is going to let an elephant, in the form of this Film Commission, loose among all the small chickens that manufacture and make films in Australia, and he says that that is all right. [More…]
With the knowlege that man cannot live by bread alone, will the Minister inform the Senate of the level of consumption of beer, wine and spirits per head of population for the September quarter compared with previous quarters? [More…]
Some years ago, when there was an endless wrangle in the Postal Workers’ Union a man named Neville Lynch had this attitude. [More…]
I thought that I detected some suggestions from Senator Greenwood that perhaps Mr Justice Sweeney was not the most competent man to comment on these problems. [More…]
After a few weeks of this my client, who had scored a handsome victory in a poll of the members who believed they belonged just to the one union, had to give up and go back to work, and victory temporarily went to the man who had been rejected by his members. [More…]
So I had this empty victory, my client had this empty victory and the members of the union had an empty victory after showing quite clearly that they wanted my client as the secretary of the union rather than the other man. [More…]
They were left having to be content with the man whom they had rejected. [More…]
Even after the incident I have mentioned of the man winning a ballot and not being able to take over the job this union- the Transport Workers Union which was involved in the Moore v. Doyle case- continued to provide the locus of struggle caused by the dichotomy of Federal and State industrial law and this led to the Moore v. Doyle case. [More…]
1 was told by the man who answered the telephone: ‘He does not work here. [More…]
That is all right so long as the union is flowing smoothly enough, but as soon as a faction fight blows up somebody goes to a lawyer, somebody sees a man of the industrial acumen of Senator Murphy, and before we know where we are a free-for-all has started. [More…]
I took the opportunity, as a man who is somewhat obsessed by this problem, to express certain views. [More…]
In the few cases where a rehabilitee would be better ofT by remaining on his pension or benefit during training, that is, a married man with a large family, or for other reasons would prefer to do so, provision has been made for him to elect to have his pension or benefit continued during the training period. [More…]
I refer, of course, to the genus mankind, which has cut all sorts of horrible gouges out of the side of Capital Hill and destroyed its essential symmetry. [More…]
It is part of the perennial conflict between man and nature that this sort of thing happens. [More…]
If one examines the history of architecture from Roman times onwards one finds that the main buildings that have been erected on hills have been castles and churches. [More…]
Castles have been erected on hills in order basically to protect medieval barons from the people and churches have been erected on hills to make man aspire to the kingdom of Heaven. [More…]
Perhaps on leaving here he did not attain the kingdom of Heaven but, as any Irishman would tell the Senate, he went very close. [More…]
I put to honourable senators that there is something to be said for a pleasant hill uncontaminated, as it were, by the works of man. [More…]
In saying that I am not predicting any dire election results in the foreseeable future; I am talking about this in terms of man’s longevity. [More…]
If it is to remain as a permanent structure, it will be a continual source of expenditure as long as it remains here. [More…]
So 1 put it, as a very practical matter, that the Camp Hill site should commend itself to members of the Senate for the very reasons which I have expressed, namely, that it can be the site for a building which is related physically to this building and with which there can be a natural human ebb and flow. [More…]
Firstly, I think that Capital Hill is worthy of preservation in its present form because it is a pleasant aspect of Canberra which is unlikely to be improved by any man made structure. [More…]
1 5 a week if earned by a single man. [More…]
There is the example of a husband who chooses to depart from his wife who has for many years worked and scraped and has not enjoyed the pleasures of life which she would reasonably expect in later life. [More…]
There is the other case where a wife may leave her husband to go to live with some other man for many years and the husband may be left to bring up the children. [More…]
It might be argued that a woman who has made such sacrifices as I have just suggested in the interests of the marriage would be entitled to a level of maintenance that would take into account not merely the standard of living which the couple enjoyed at the time the marriage broke down but also the fact that the efforts of such a woman have made it possible for such a man to enjoy a standard of life considerably higher than they had during the marriage. [More…]
It implies exclusivity between partners and permanence. [More…]
Society and many features of society are changing. [More…]
At present we see marriage as a union which tends to be an exclusive and permanent union. [More…]
No matter what new ideas come, we must try now to protect the stable bonding of man and woman and provide a stable situation in which children can be brought up and protected and in which family life can be established. [More…]
I make the assertion that the standard of proof in relation to habitual drunkenness has been maintained at unrealistic standards by many judges. [More…]
In a recent case in Tasmania a judge held that because there was no definition of ‘habitual drunkenness’ in the present legislation the proper course to take was to apply the common law rules, and that he could not grant a petition in the case of a person who was habitually drunk but was not violent in association with his drunkenness. [More…]
It was a case in which a man drank himself into a condition of complete stupor continually and habitually. [More…]
Marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life. [More…]
It was a deep, involved and complex matter concerning the most intimate human relationship- that is the relationship which exists between a man and his wife in the intimacy of the family. [More…]
I do not think it has done the women of Australia any good to have this special privilege in the area of widows pensions because it makes it look as though it is a problem germane only to women in Australia instead of what it truly is, namely a family problem in Australia. [More…]
I think in the case of a man who wishes to stay at home to care for his children full time or who wishes to take a part-time job and receive a part-time pension, there should be no difference made between him, in that reduced earning capacity, and women who have been in that capacity traditionally for a long time in Australia. [More…]
In Queensland a white man is covered by an award wage while an Aboriginal doing the same work gets $53 a week. [More…]
We will consult of course other countries such as West Germany, the Scandinavian countries and New Zealand, which are also giving aid to African liberation movements. [More…]
When we receive the report from our Foreign Affairs man who is to visit Zambia to investigate the needs of refugees I will be able to inform the Senate of the precise allocation of this aid. [More…]
There have been all sorts of lurid suggestions as to the types of non-humanitarian or indeed anti-humanitarian uses that this money might be put to. [More…]
Let me repeat that this aid is for humanitarian purposes and for no others, and indeed the Cabinet decision limits the purpose to just that. [More…]
Edwin Martin, former Chairman of the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, is a man who devoted a great number of years and talents to the matter of development co-operation. [More…]
He has been quoted many times in relation to this matter. [More…]
There is not the requirement that a woman has to serve one or two days a week at the wash tub. [More…]
The work that a woman has to do in that area today in so many families consists of using a machine which can be left to do the work while she is away on other jobs. [More…]
For instance, there is freedom for the woman and an opportunity for her to get away from the home during the day or mix with society in the evening. [More…]
The relationship between man and woman and the development of a home and family still bind us to the best institution there can be for people in our society. [More…]
Although today there is talk about changes in marriage- I believe that there are quite significant changes in the relationships in marriage, and Senator Webster spoke about that this afternoonnevertheless, I still believe that the view of marriage in our society, whether it is regarded as a Christian society or not, is still basically the Christian view, and that is the voluntary union of a man and a woman for their joint lives to the exclusion of all others. [More…]
The incredible network of personal and social responsibilities which derive from the mere fact of a man and a woman joining their lives together for any reasonable length of time necessitates a legal institution to protect those rights and to enforce the duties which undoubtedly flow from a marriage. [More…]
I think that is why, after many years of the present divorce laws, it is necessary to look at the laws again. [More…]
However, I must emphasise again that I reject any concept of marriage other than the one man, one woman, one family institution. [More…]
In this event one or other of the parties may hopefully form another and more satisfactory and permanent marriage. [More…]
Indeed, as I have said, that is the case, because three out of four people who are divorced marry again, and in most cases the second marriage works out as a permanent institution and a happy relationship for the party who, by misfortune, had entered into an unhappy relationship in the first place. [More…]
I think the man is quite honest and has tried to make a very good attempt at rectifying the position which exists at present. [More…]
The contract is voluntarily entered into between one man and one woman for life. [More…]
Marriage is now, in the eyes of the law and of the Church, the voluntary union of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others for life. [More…]
Like other senators, I have had many representations made to me about this subject. [More…]
Being a happily married man for over 33 years, I have a very deep concern for those people who have not been as fortunate in marriage as I have been. [More…]
Speaking personally, I have had a lot of pressure put on me by religious groups with the notion that marriage once undertaken is a permanent contract. [More…]
It is not just an agreement to live together as man and wife. [More…]
It is an agreement that covers very many aspects of human conduct in marriage. [More…]
This is the standard of the man. [More…]
I was a very silly young man. [More…]
young man than a silly. [More…]
old man, of whom there are many in this chamber. [More…]
While I was in New York I had 2 very long talks with the man who was then the Greek Foreign Minister. [More…]
I think that every Australian wheat grower will realise, as a business man, that he has one of the best economic opportunities available to him in 1975 that he has ever had in the history of the wheat industry. [More…]
William Morrow who is Chairman of the Australian Drug Evaluation Committee. [More…]
He is a man whose opinion and judgment are beyond question. [More…]
What an interesting thing it is that the man who says that he is going to change the system, Dr Cairns, has gone to the home of free enterprise on his knees begging for capital. [More…]
The way he treated a Senate Committee, as reported by that Senate Committee, is a fair judgement of the man himself and it is also a reflection on the way in which he is administering the foreign affairs of this country. [More…]
The blame must attach not to officers of a department but to the man who politically carries the responsibility for the department. [More…]
No matter how many second thoughts members of the Government who served on this Committee may have, the words of the report speak for themselves. [More…]
As the Treasurer said recently, in current circumstances: ‘One man’s larger pay packet may mean another man’s job’. [More…]
The Liberal-Country Party Government was so stupid in the way it ran operations that when the gatekeeper at the parking area in Sydney took his meal break or had to go to the repatriation hospital it put on the gate a man who did not know how to drive a car. [More…]
It is puerile for a man like Mr Bjelke-Petersen to say that he will tell the. [More…]
The man says: “There is a weed over there’. [More…]
Mr Chairman, let me tell you and honourable senators of a wonderful organisation that is established in Queensland today. [More…]
But these same people were not prepared to speak out in his defence when organisations such as the League of Rights were conducting a very vindictive campaign against him in the electorate of Riverina to bring about his defeat because of the humane policies that man was implementing while he was Minister for Immigration. [More…]
Senator Greenwood addressed no questions to the man. [More…]
As a local government man, you should know that just as well as I and others do. [More…]
I know, but it comes within the jurisdiction of the Minister for the Capital Territory and some action should be taken, and I believe he is the man who should talk to the Attorney-General or whoever else it may be necessary to talk to in order to get action. [More…]
One public accountant said to me recently that an Aboriginal man came into his office with a loan to buy a business. [More…]
He was the man who promised on behalf of the Party now governing that there would be no replacement of the charge when the excise on wine was taken off. [More…]
On many occasions before I have said in this chamber that as far as I am concerned the socalled Aboriginal problem is a white man’s problem. [More…]
In many ways we are not doing a very good job of solving the white man’s problem. [More…]
We have searched every bank in an area of 300 miles to find that man’s bank account. [More…]
Look at the Laura episode which I raised not many weeks ago in a question in this chamber. [More…]
We shift the Aborigines by force from their grounds and put them on a hill- a stoney hill- under the dominance of the white man who is on top of the hill so he can look down on his black subjects. [More…]
Here a man who was unable to administer a major project is no longer in the country. [More…]
If he had been a white man doing the same job he would have pulled down wages of not less than $120 and maybe even more a week. [More…]
They could live in a town as well as any white man (which has been amply proven) and the impression gained will be that such folk ought not to be on a reserve at all. [More…]
As a matter of fact, I recall many a day when I would send from the vegetable room back to the farm to be given to the pigs dray loads of cabbages, cauliflowers, lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, the whole box and dice. [More…]
But that happened under the bad old Act of Queensland, you know, that racist Act that was talked about in Queensland when there were approximately 1,500 people living on Palm Island and every able bodied man was required to do a certain amount of work to provide those things in the communities. [More…]
The old people realise that they can no longer live there as they used to do prior to the coming of the white man. [More…]
It is on special occasions that they wish to go back to that place, when there are stories that they must relate to the children- stories of the Dream Time and of the culture of the Aboriginal community prior to the white man that they wish to tell to the younger generations. [More…]
The Committee visited many of the Federal Aboriginal reserves in the Territory. [More…]
To a man on all those reserves the Aborigines rejected those plans saying: ‘That would be discriminating in favour of the black man. [More…]
A man who has promoted the untruths as Senator Rae has done is not the man who should lead for the Opposition on this very delicate question. [More…]
I prompt the Minister again because I know him to be an honest man. [More…]
I think that is typical of a Labor man. [More…]
That is, Labor’s policy- has created in Australia a white man ‘s hatred in many areas against Aboriginals’, he said. [More…]
-This famous lawyer-if you would give me the opportunity, Mr President, of saying this- attempted all this afternoon, this man from New South Wales, to hit Senator Greenwood on every occasion that he got under the skin of honourable senators opposite. [More…]
I believe that the man concerned is in receipt of a salary of about $30,000 a year. [More…]
This man has not done so but is still collecting his salary. [More…]
I certainly believe that parents- a man and a woman who marry and decide to become parents- have a joint responsibility for as long as those children are dependent, whether or not the man and the woman continue to remain in a state of matrimony. [More…]
It would be nice to believe that if the man obtained custody of the children the ex-wife would then make the same sort of financial contribution to their upkeep as the ex-husband would in the reverse situation. [More…]
But there has been very little recognition given to the fact that the overwhelming majority of women who have undertaken what we call home duties, who have occupied the traditional social role of wife, housewife and mother, have had a very large bearing in many cases on their husband’s earning capacity. [More…]
If the husband had been a widower at an early stage or if the wife had been not prepared to support her husband in many ways then his potential earning capacity would have been reduced. [More…]
The example is obvious in the case of, say, the professional man or the business man. [More…]
There are many people we ourselves know who have been prevented from pursuing a political career at all because their wives were not prepared to undertake the sort of responsibility that goes with being the spouse of a member of Parliament. [More…]
There are many examples of cases such as this where, through their supportive dependent role, women in our society have enabled the men to reach a higher degree of proficiency and a higher earning capacity. [More…]
There is another very crucial area which relates to the matter of property: What is the value of the labours of the woman who follows the traditional role of wife, housewife and mother, in the accumulation of property? [More…]
I suggest to the Senate that there will be no real equality for women in Australia until there is some coming to grips with the economic status of this type of woman. [More…]
The current situation is that a man with a dependent spouse- a wife- can claim, I think, $7 a week as a taxation deduction. [More…]
The woman who stays at home and who contributes to the family and to the economy of the family through what we call home duties occupies an economic role far greater than that which is given official recognition through the laws of our land. [More…]
Many families have discovered this with the growing number of wives who are going out to work in the situation where both partners work. [More…]
I refer to the woman marrying, becoming a mother and necessarily, almost inevitably, withdrawing from the work force and the effect that this has on her earning capacity. [More…]
I think it is important that the Senate recognises and that Australian society recognise the very simple fact which is known to anybody who has pursued a career, either man or women. [More…]
It is strongly opposed to injunctions on the ground, it claims, that this means that a man’s home could be taken from him on the whim of what is almost inevitably, according to DLRA, a neurotic wife. [More…]
In the past, although there has been some provision for the protection of the weaker members of the family, before the courts or the police would act a man would virtually have to break his wife’s leg and all but kill her before anybody would move. [More…]
It is not for nothing that the existing Marriage Act 1 96 1 expresses in section 69(2) as the secular concept of marriage ‘the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life’. [More…]
Is there to be no recognition at all of the sacrifices of a young mother in helping a struggling young professional man to get on in this world, in bearing his children and helping to raise them, in helping him to widen his status? [More…]
But the basis and principal theme of our debate revolves, firstly, I would say, around the institution of marriage, the preserving and protection of this institution, this ideal of marriage of the union of one man and one woman voluntarily entered into for their lives. [More…]
Marriage is a covenant into which, under the creative will of God, a man and a woman enter for full, life-long and exclusive fellowship. [More…]
It may refer to a couple- man and wife- or it may even refer to a unit of life represented by only one person. [More…]
I believe that the purpose of the Bill is to create more equality for married persons, more equality in human relationships and to put man and wife on an equal basis. [More…]
At a recent Festival of Light meeting at Miranda in Sydney, which is the area in which I live, one of the group leaders, the Reverend Nile, took great delight in deriving the most positive responses from the audience to his cry: ‘Do you want this man as Premier?’ [More…]
The man whom he had on the platform was the Deputy Leader of the Liberal Party in New South Wales, Mr Willis. [More…]
The advent of the pill and other advanced means of contraception has emancipated our women in a most unprecedented way and it has altered our outlook on the man/woman relationship. [More…]
In emancipating women it has brought them to a position where they are able to philander in much the same way as men have been able to do always. [More…]
There is a policy in China that the woman is equal to a man. [More…]
But is she equal to the man? [More…]
China has this policy, it appeared to me that all that it meant was that the burdens of being a woman were added to by the burdens of being a man and part of the workforce. [More…]
I have heard it said on many occasions and repeated in this Senate that marriage according to law in Australia is the union of man and woman to the exclusion of all others, voluntarily entered into for life and not to be entered into lightly or inadvisedly. [More…]
I am pleased to say that, even though it is an area of controversy, it appears- from what I have gathered from the people who have corresponded with me, from people to whom I have spoken, from welfare workers and so many other people- that the great majority of people support the aspect of irretrievable breakdown. [More…]
I back this up with a statement by a man whom I consider a very important cleric in Australia. [More…]
I believe that if we do not watch out we will arrive at a position in this country- this happens in some other countries of the world today- in which a man who desires a divorce has only to go out into the street and say to his wife: ‘I divorce thee. [More…]
I said that our mode of dress always had been determined so that we could distinguish ourselves from the working man, in effect saying that we did not work. [More…]
That attitude has continued to the present but today there is some similarity in the dress of a senator and of a working man. [More…]
In fact, shorts and clothes sticking to a man in hot climates would burn him up. [More…]
The man concerned has the mental capacity to be of assistance by advising me, irrespective of whether he has clothes on at all. [More…]
It is attempting to take as many school leavers as possible into the government services. [More…]
When a man got the sack he was finished under the Opposition’s policies. [More…]
I believe that it should be circulated widely because it took into account many of the important matters related to one of the major industrial activities in this country. [More…]
Anyone listening to the debate would realise that he is a man who had control of the subject and of how finance for housing applied to his State of South Australia. [More…]
The point I was making in my speech on housing was that it is a matter which concerns the most important industry as far as manufacturing and construction are concerned and it has been left to honourable senators on the Opposition side. [More…]
I realise that the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, who is in charge of these Bills, is a man with some knowledge of the industry. [More…]
I am not referring to what the employee has demanded over the past few years, I am referring to what the arbitration court has granted to employees over the past few years. [More…]
I am an employer of a number of men in the joinery industry and I add something to this community, something that I doubt any Labor man has ever done in his life, and that is to create a position - [More…]
I hope that as years go by Senator Hall will have the courage to be the man he says he is. [More…]
A lot of people consider that Senator Hall is a man of steel. [More…]
I hope that he will be prepared to stand up and prove that he is a man of steel and that he will admit he is wrong. [More…]
He said that he is in the building industry himself as a businessman. [More…]
But Senator Webster did not go on to tell the people that this was set in train before the Labor Party became the Government and that he supported a policy of the previous Government of allowing the developers to go in and buy up all the land that was possible and so make land too dear for the average working man to afford. [More…]
The man whom the honourable senator said has ruined South Australia has been accepted. [More…]
The complaint was made that the man, who was an Aboriginal, had been convicted by an all-white jury in an area of the Northern Territory where a substantial part of the population is Aboriginal. [More…]
In 1956 and 1960 did his Government care when it stopped manufacturing in all the States? [More…]
Here is a man who is running a joinery factory. [More…]
In sub-clause ( I ), insert the following new definition: marriage’, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life:. [More…]
If we are going to talk about marriage and as the Bill contains definitions of other things, I think it should contain the definition of marriage as between man and woman, because we are living in a world where we are reading that certain people are suggesting that marriage, should be allowable in relation to certain deviants as I think we generally and universally accept it. [More…]
The authorised celebrant is enjoined by the Act to inform the parties of the nature of marriage and, among other things, to tell them that marriage according to law is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others. [More…]
It is a very curious thing that in sections 46 and 69 of the Marriage Act there appear these statements in regard to what the celebrant says to people being married, namely, ‘marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life’. [More…]
The law has provided for many years for dissolution. [More…]
It is fundamental, in my opinion, to retain that which by common law concept the Australian community has adopted throughout our history- that marriage is, as set out in this definition, ‘the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life’. [More…]
If this definition is not clearly stated in this legislation marriage may well be defined as the union of one man with one wife until they have separated for 12 months and one has thereupon been divorced. [More…]
By his original amendment he is saying that marriage, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life. [More…]
If anybody has forgotten them he should look at the Hansard record over many years and he will see that this is something that happens towards the end of a session because it seems to be beyond the wit of man to stop the accumulation of legislation. [More…]
We take that view because it is the rare man who can get into real old age and still maintain the sort of understanding that we want to permeate this Court. [More…]
In regard to paragraph (a), I understand that Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson intends to move to add the words ‘as the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life’. [More…]
Senator Sir KENNETH ANDERSON (New South Wales) (8.35)-Mr Chairman, I wonder whether we could deal with my amendment at the same time as we deal with Senator Murphy’s amendment because I think that we have a degree of unanimity in this matter?I am suggesting that in proposed clause 21a. [More…]
at the end of paragraph (a) add the following words: ‘as the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life’. [More…]
Honourable senators will observe that my amendment is different from the circulated amendment which read: ‘which, according to law in Australia, is the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life’. [More…]
at end of paragraph (a), add the following words- as the union of a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others voluntarily entered into for life. [More…]
Without going through all the argument again I suggest that the judgment that honourable senators have to make- and, when the Bill is disposed of here, that members of the other place will have to make- is whether that in itself is a complete and absolute ground for dissolution of marriage, which marriage has been carried out in good faith between one woman and one man on the basis of a contract for life. [More…]
It still regards marriage, at least as an ideal, as a union for life of one man and one woman to the exclusion of all others. [More…]
By way of illustration a man supporting a wife and two children is entitled to maintenance deductions of $832. [More…]
On top of that, I think that if one thing could be said about the Prime Minister it is that he is a man who works extremely hard. [More…]
No one could say that he is a loafer or a man who goes after pleasure. [More…]
He is a man who is regarded on all hands as one who works extremely hard in the interests of the country. [More…]
That is the experience of a man who has directed the operations of that organisation for the last 16 years. [More…]
Alan Walker is a clergyman not of my faith but he is a man who, I understand, has always shown an active interest in social issues and his opinion is worth some consideration. [More…]
In many cases it may well be enough, but I have some doubt of whether that is so in all cases. [More…]
I do not believe that there is any man in Australia who has had more experience than he in administering the law on this subject. [More…]
The situation may arise where somebody re-marries a man who is either in poor health or in poor financial circumstances. [More…]
She may have a maintenance order in respect of the husband who is a wealthy man and fully able to contribute to her maintenance. [More…]
For once I feel myself in the company of Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson, lt is said that marriage is something voluntarily entered into by a man and a woman to the exclusion of all others for life. [More…]
The sort of situation which the Standing Committee on Constitutional and Legal Affairs had in mind was one where a man of some means- I am not talking about a man who won the lottery or about a millionaire; I am talking about a man of some means- obtained a divorce after one year’s separation from a wife who may have been entirely unwilling to agree to the divorce but who, because of this law, has been divorced and she was clearly entitled to maintenance, and substantial maintenance, for herself and the children of the marriage and obtained such an order. [More…]
Suppose this woman, who has been abandoned by this well off husband, has been divorced and obtained maintenance, and then in her loneliness decided to remarry and married a man who is on the minimum wage. [More…]
Under the clause of the Bill as printed, that woman will cease to be entitled to any maintenance and will have no rights in respect of her former husband whatsoever. [More…]
It is a situation which in all justice demands that she should still have some rights to maintenance from her former husband. [More…]
It may well be that in most cases this provision will not be required but what the Committee is objecting to are the absolute provisions of the sub-clause as printed which would exclude a woman in those circumstances. [More…]
Consider also the situation where a woman has remarried and the second marriage ends because ofthe death of the second husband. [More…]
She may well be left in destitute circumstances whereas her first husband is a man of means and can contribute to her maintenance. [More…]
As the senior legal man in the Australian Government will he say that he believes iri his heart that the Bill as presented for a first reading in the House of Representatives will be one that lawyers will not be able to drive a bullock wagon through? [More…]
It retains the preferential system but it enables a person to vote for one person- for the Liberal Party, Country Party or Labor Party man that he chooses- and, because the preferences of the parties have been registered, that one vote will bring with it the total preferential scale of the parties. [More…]
Our Government will seek to preserve for posterity things that were created by man or nature that are unique and beautiful. [More…]
It is a particularly frustrating irony that progress in man’s search for a longer life should produce the ‘problems of ageing’. [More…]
Do not let us destroy it by pricing it completely out of the market of the ordinary man in the street. [More…]
This Party that we have in Government at the moment professes to be the supporter of the little man. [More…]
I believe that this has been shown to be demonstrably wrong since it has been in Government because whatever the Government has done since it has been in office has, in fact, hurt the small man. [More…]
Labor’s professed concern for the ‘little man’ does not apparently extend to the ‘battlers’ in the business community, upon whom a sizeable proportion of the work force depends for wages. [More…]
As economists have warned, many of these small businesses are already waging a losing battle against inflation. [More…]
Among them can be counted many of the General Aviation fraternity, and for some of these the Budget presented last month by Treasurer Crean could well be the final straw. [More…]
This is not the Opposition’s policy but the policy of those honourable senators who have said that we have neglected the small man, that we are not looking after him. [More…]
Of course he said we are neglecting the little man because Port Augusta Airways is going out of existence. [More…]
They are battling for the underprivileged of Australia, for the little man who is not an aircraft owner. [More…]
I know that the first Minister for Aboriginal Affairs ever appointed in this House- not a member of my Party- had his mail opened by the white managers on reserves in Queensland. [More…]
The man concerned is no longer in the employ of the Queensland Department. [More…]
In fact he now is an employee of the Australian Government but in those days he was the manager of a reserve. [More…]
It was not the black postmaster who was at fault because he had no option but to hand over all official mail to the manager of the reserve. [More…]
The man who preceded that man on this reserve used to drive up and down in front of my office in Townsville. [More…]
They learned this from the white man and from people like Senator Keeffe over there. [More…]
They have learned how to play one white man against another. [More…]
It is all right for a white man to send to the Parliament petitions or telegrams which are identically worded, but it is not all right for an Aborigine to do so. [More…]
He has clearly reflected upon Senator Drake-Brockman by describing him as a reasonably honest man. [More…]
All honourable senators know that he is an honest man. [More…]
Better Radio, TV, one wonders whether, in the terms of the man who was brought here as a guest of the Department, this will be the approach which will be taken by the Government to radio and television in this country. [More…]
The fact is that throughout this nation there is a tight tripartite control over the media often by one man or by one company. [More…]
I do not think for a moment that he would be a man who would abuse that control, but the Minister in charge of this portfolio at present will not always be the Minister in charge of it and it is the responsibility of this Parliament to legislate in such a way that the rights of the people and freedom of speech are protected. [More…]
He referred to tripartite control of the Press, radio and television by one man or one company. [More…]
There is a fear, a suspicion, that eventually the media will come under the control of one man or a monopoly, or perhaps one or two groups. [More…]
What is proposed in this legislation is that there be a transfer of control from that one man, that monopoly or that group to the Government so that the Government has the monopoly and the control. [More…]
I give the whole concept my full support but I am not prepared to give the Minister the right to say what will and what will not be the content of television programs, be they of Australian origin or be they of some other origin, because I think that such a decision should go further than one man. [More…]
1 recall a case of some years ago of a man who, as a reward for his service, was promoted- he lived in Devonport in Tasmania- because of the excellent service he had rendered to his employer. [More…]
The system of government has not collapsed in Victoria or New South Wales since apparently as far back as the memory of man can go. [More…]
For all my philosophical differences with him, I recognise him as a man of great enlightenment in this field. [More…]
Lower personal income tax giving the working man more money in his pocket and the trade unions less reason for high wage demands. [More…]
Leader of the Government in the Senate: Is it true to say that the traditional optimism amongst Australian industrialists and businessmen and even the man in the street has been jolted by a sharp downturn in the economy? [More…]
Their motivation stems from concern for their fellow man particularly the least affluent members of our society. [More…]
This concern has resulted in many of the nursing homes incurring a deficit as a result of their operations notwithstanding the frequent generous increases in nursing home benefit rates. [More…]
But let it be on record that the person who now aspires to be Treasurer, Dr J. F. Cairns, is the man who said that tariffs should be cut 25 per cent across the board. [More…]
He is the man who, in his position as Minister for Overseas Trade, a position which he still holds, by that action which he fully supported created chaotic unemployment in the textile industries, the clothing industries, the footwear industries, the furniture-making industries, the automotive industries and the electronic industries. [More…]
He is the man who until several months ago said that he believed that we should not do anything about the tariff cuts, that we should maintain them. [More…]
It is sacking the man who is not responsible for the Budget and blaming him for it and is putting into Treasury the man who was responsible for a Budget which failed completely. [More…]
It is putting into Treasury a man who is responsible for the 25 per cent across the board tariff cut, a man who is responsible by his actions for wrecking Austraiian manufacturing industry and a man who has done more than anyone else to create major unemployment in this country. [More…]
It is throwing money here, there and everywhere, not just a few thousand dollars but many thousands of dollars. [More…]
Goodness gracious me, we read about the man who said he is the greatest and now says he is the best, I refer to the Prime Minister, Mr Whitlam. [More…]
He is a strong man and he leads a strong government. [More…]
I guarantee here and now to anybody who was listening to Senator Greenwood that he will not have the courage, that he will not have the honesty, that he will not have the calibre of a man to step outside this Senate and repeat what he just said about a responsible officer of the Taxation Office of this country, a man who was appointed by the previous Government. [More…]
Let us question him tomorrow about what he has done when he has sat in his cowardice and made this accusation against a man who is unable to defend himself. [More…]
This no doubt is part of his corrupt motive, according to the mind of Senator Greenwoodthe man, if he is related to John Curtin, must of necessity be corrupt. [More…]
This question was put yesterday in the House of Representatives by his friend Mr Fraser, the man who wanted to become the Leader of the Opposition and take over that good permanent job from Mr Snedden. [More…]
In my time in the Parliament I have never heard anybody personally attack the Treasurer, Frank Crean, who is known to be personally an honest man and when he gives a decision or gives an answer to a question everybody in the countryside recognises that Crean is giving an honest deal, an honest answer to the questions which are raised. [More…]
Everybody thought the man had attended a union meeting outside his duties. [More…]
He is an honest man. [More…]
We all know he is an honest man. [More…]
We would be displaying a dereliction of duty to the name and honour of a very great man if we remained silent without answering things said here tonight. [More…]
He was the man who saw this country through the most critical period in its history, its darkest hours, in the dark loneliness of the high office of Prime Minister of Australia. [More…]
I think it is significant to remember that he was the man who guided the destinies of this country through that critical period in our history when our own shores were assaulted, when people died on our soil, when we were physically attacked and had to fight back. [More…]
He was the man who stood out against that very great British war time leader, Winston Churchill, and ordered the return to Australia of Australian troops who might otherwise have been engaged in some other part of the world and thereafter the history of this country might have taken a very different turn indeed. [More…]
Have we forgotten so soon the man who sent out that impassioned cry across the world to the United States of America- ‘in the name of God and humanity send us aid’? [More…]
That was the clarion call sent out by this very great man to the nation and to the rest of the world. [More…]
I want you, Mr Acting Deputy President, and the people listening to me, to remember that this great Australian, John Curtin, like the sailors, soldiers and airmen who marched side by side through that war, many of whom died, also gave his life for his country. [More…]
Not only should Australia at large honour him, as Australians have done in many ways throughout the country; we of the Labor Party have a double reason for honouring him. [More…]
Surely greater love hath no man than this. [More…]
I would very much like to stand in front of him now and say that John Curtin was a man who served his country and gave his life for it. [More…]
Let no man impugn the name of that very great Australian. [More…]
Because of the background of honourable senators opposite they do not understand what it means for an ordinary little man, a real little man, to battle along not on $13,000 a year but on $5,000 a year. [More…]
So in fact we see a smokescreen being put across the debate solely to confuse, because the legislation is not aimed at the real little man. [More…]
I think that grammatically it is not correct to say ‘the real little man’, but I think everyone knows what I mean. [More…]
I think the Government has ensured that the legislation does in fact protect the little man. [More…]
There is a very low payment associated with the appointment and the man concerned indicated to me in writing at the time that he did not want the payment associated with the position. [More…]
Sir Edward Cain is a man of the highest reputation and the highest integrity. [More…]
He is a man of the highest reputation. [More…]
He is a man who has to exercise discretions of the most delicate kind in carrying out a very difficult statute. [More…]
He is a man in whom there must be the utmost public confidence, except for this statement which has been made by the Deputy Leader of the Opposition. [More…]
Life assurance in this community is the little man ‘s saviour. [More…]
The provident week by week payment at the door of a policy against retirement, accident or illness is the little man’s provision for the future. [More…]
One man’s higher pay packet is another man’s higher cost of living, or perhaps his job. [More…]
In view of the remarks that were made, I believe by Senator Walsh, concerning prices and incomes- he was referring last evening to the failure of the Government to gain control over prices and incomes- it may surprise him to know that the Federal Treasurer, a very eminent man in this Government and indeed in the parliamentary Labor Party, has said very recently: [More…]
As Senator Bishop said last night, the Federal Treasurer is, amongst other things, a thoroughly honest man so those must be his convictions. [More…]
I know the Minister well enough to know that he is a man who says what he believes and believes what he says. [More…]
I can safely say I am out of the woods, thinking back on all the riots in the NT, we are the only one that ever got away with it, funny, ours was the most serious we burnt and bashed the white man with chains and chased them to buggery the other only ran rampage, maybe threw a few spears, yet they got gaoled. [More…]
1 want to read what he says happened, so far as the Attorney-General was concerned, and the claim that he makes in relation to what is apparently the attitude of this man towards the administration of Aboriginal affairs in the Northern Territory. [More…]
That is surprising because that man had never said that before in his life. [More…]
It is obvious that he is only saying it now because he has been bulldozed and intimidated by the current white management of Palm Island. [More…]
I must admit that it surprised me to find that a man who has so many good attributes is now falling into the error of the Director of Aboriginal Affairs in Queensland, who follows the same line as the Premier of Queensland, of adopting the attitude of warning all politicians and others from making any statements until they again examine the situation. [More…]
This man, who now claims to be a great humanitarian, stood in this chamber and supported the bashing of Aborigines outside this Parliament. [More…]
He now claims to be great humanitarian. [More…]
There was an incident at Bamyili not so many weeks ago when 3 classrooms were burnt and a Molotov cocktail was hurled under the teacher’s house. [More…]
It was amazing that when a certain white man left the settlement all of these things stopped; nothing further of this sort occurred. [More…]
The man is being asked to agree to people coming onto the reserve without a permit and yet it is calling the reserve his private property. [More…]
I have been asked to deliver a message from Mr Les Stewart, the man I have just mentioned as receiving the telegram which I read. [More…]
The telegram was addressed to Les Stewart, a highly respected gentleman of the Aboriginal community of Cherbourg, a man who has done remarkably well for himself and his family. [More…]
He is a man of high principles and integrity. [More…]
I do not know whether the honourable senator would want particulars of his education in Manitoba or that he obtained the GovernorGeneral’s Silver Medal in Canada during his education, or particulars of his other services. [More…]
He is a man who obviously is held in very high regard by the Chancellor and ViceChancellor of the University of Sydney and by scientific people around the world. [More…]
As I think everyone agrees, while Mr Connor is a very gentle man, he is a man of very great perspicacity and strength and he selects about him people of value who will enable him to carry out his difficult tasks. [More…]
I agree with the points that Senator Murphy has just made about the manner in which the electorates have been gerrymandered for the purpose of maintaining in power a man who does not understand the essence of democracy. [More…]
I suppose it is possible- I do not know- because one meets a great number of people, but frankly I do not recall having known the man or being an acquaintance of him. [More…]
The environment produced by the billions of years of evolution which has resulted in man in his present state, is being drastically altered in a few decades by man himself. [More…]
Everywhere the natural systems which evolved with man and of which he is part are under threat. [More…]
We must make a strong stand and determine that this generation will ensure that evolution itself will proceed as much as possible without deliberate or unthinking intervention by man. [More…]
Over 100 nations have taken action for the permanent reservation of natural areas to represent the range of landscapes and ecosystems within their boundaries, and to protect their unique wildlife resources. [More…]
They have assembled professional staff to ensure the effective planning and management needed to consolidate legislation and area reservation. [More…]
Since the arrival of the white man some 5 species of marsupial and several species of bird have been wiped out. [More…]
Many other species have been endangered. [More…]
In conclusion I would like to say that this action accords with the sentiments of the Labor Party platform where it is recognised that ‘ man lives within and depends upon a complex natural system which must be protected and managed as a whole ‘. [More…]
This will deal with important aspects of environmental concern, in addition to nature conservation, aimed at halting man’s unthinking degradation of the total environment, the genesis of life on this planet. [More…]
This young man certainly would not have been working for the Labor Party; to the contrary, he would have been working for the Liberal Party of Australia. [More…]
-Before the sitting was suspended I was speaking about a young man who was removed from the Palm Island Aboriginal settlement at the instigation of the Palm Island Council. [More…]
If Senator Bonner wants to listen to the white manager’s version of it, I am sorry. [More…]
The white manager in these circumstances can only be telling lies. [More…]
Why were 16 or 18 people needed to surround one black man’s house on Friday of last week, the day before the Queensland election, in a spirit of intimidation, bulldozing them off the island? [More…]
That same manager made a statement which was reported in the ‘Courier-Mail’ on Saturday, saying that there is only one financial member of the co-operative. [More…]
This same man said that the unions had no right to ensure that people on the island were getting proper wages. [More…]
But this same white manager, who adopted these intimidatory tactics says that it is wrong to change the situation because the people are happy getting $80 a week less than the award. [More…]
Senator Bonner is the unfortunate victim of the white man ‘s law and the white man ‘s stand-over tactics in the Party to which he belongs. [More…]
I have great sympathy for what Senator Bonner is trying to do and I feel very sorry for him when he has to mouth words of opposition in the manner he has had to under pressure from his own Party. [More…]
He is the man who is supposed to be standing up for Aborigines. [More…]
It is not something that can apply to an Aboriginal and not to a white man. [More…]
However, insofar as finance from normal banking sources is concerned, it may be expected that, where a producer is unable to borrow from his bank or pastoral house at the going rates of interest or is unable to service the debts on terms that the bank or financial institution demands, such difficulty would be prima facie evidence that the condition laid down in clause 1 1(2) (c) had been fulfilled. [More…]
It is important to bear in mind, as I have mentioned before, that the basic idea of the Bill is to help the man in the dairy industry who is in trouble. [More…]
This has the effect of making the cost of crewing a ship on a single man continuous complement basis about $ 1 5,000 a year. [More…]
We know that the cost of shipping increases every time a ship is tied up and, on the triangular service upon which this ship was engaged, it was fairly obvious that a good deal of the time of the ‘Straitsman’ had to be spent tied up in one of the 3 ports that she visited. [More…]
Snedden ‘s assertion last week that the attempt to depose him from the Liberal Party leadership was part of the Labor Party’s propaganda exercise, will Senator Murphy assure the Senate that neither the honourable member for Wannon nor the honourable member for Chisholm is a secret Labor Party undercover man? [More…]
Civilisation and the survival of man in this world depends on some 9 inches of topsoil and the tilth or quality of the humus of that topsoil. [More…]
If man is to survive- to overcome hunger- and if Australia is to carry on its job of not only feeding its people but also feeding the world, then it is part of its sacred trust that it should carry out prophylactic soil conservation and land management and use to the fullest degree possible. [More…]
May I concentrate on this next item - works of man or the combined works of nature and of man. [More…]
The Minister himself would admit that it is slightly too broad a term of reference to be able to make regulations concerning the works of man or the combined works of nature and of man. [More…]
The fate of these, and the manner and extent to which man and other biota in the environment may be subjected to them are important matters on which some information has been sought. [More…]
This information will assist in predicting the fate of any waste materials which may be added to the drainage system, and in estimating how much material could be added without serious damage to man or other biota.’ [More…]
A wilderness system will offer man what many consider the supreme human experience. [More…]
It will also provide watershed protection, a near-perfect wildlife habitat, and an unmatched science laboratory where we can measure the world in its natural balance against the world in its manmade imbalance. [More…]
I refer to my dealings with a Queensland Government Minister- a man named Sullivan. [More…]
He told me by letter that he did not care how many kangaroos he killed. [More…]
I take it the impact of this amendment will be that the Mr Sullivans will be able to do what they like and slaughter as many kangaroos as they want, as Mr Sullivan did. [More…]
It is defined as including ‘all aspects of the surroundings of man, whether affecting him as an individual or in his social groupings’. [More…]
It does seem to me that too many persons at least up to date, have taken the view that environmental matters are narrow in their concept. [More…]
I invite the attention of the Senate to the first proclamation of the Declaration of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment as to the scope of the environment as that proclamation saw it. [More…]
Man is both creature and moulder of his environment, which gives him physical sustenance and affords him the opportunity for intellectual, moral, social and spiritual growth. [More…]
In the long and tortuous evolution of the human race on this planet a stage has been reached when, through the rapid acceleration of science and technology, man has acquired the power to transform his environment in countless ways and on an unprecedented scale. [More…]
Both aspects of man’s environment, the natural and the man-made, are essential to his well-being and to the enjoyment of basic human rightseven the right to life itself. ‘ [More…]
In other words, environmental issues do not exist in a vacuum; they are related to the planned development of this earth and everything about it for the benefit of man. [More…]
They are trustees only, and those governments will be judged by the manner in which they carry out that trust. [More…]
The Australian Labor Government and the Minister, Dr Cass, in particular, have grasped the nettle with this Bill and they have given the nation of Australia a basis for hoping that man will intelligently mould to his total environment, including his social groupings, to his advancement and happiness. [More…]
I think everybody acknowledges that in the late twentieth century the twin questions of how man controls his environment and how man respects his privacy are the most vital questions for the development and future of mankind. [More…]
It is incumbent upon mankind to do what it can to preserve the natural heritage which is ours. [More…]
Equally I believe there is need for man to feel that he is no longer constrained by the mass, pressures and influences, that he is moved and manipulated by pressures over which he has no influence and that the essential quality and integrity as an individual are able to be preserved. [More…]
The environment is defined as including all aspects of the surroundings of man, whether affecting him as an individual or in his social groupings. [More…]
When we consider the matters which this Bill is giving the Commonwealth Minister a power to examine, we see that they cover almost every aspect of human endeavour. [More…]
In his 25 years here Senator Wood has distinguished himself by his chairmanship of the Regulations and Ordinances Committee of the Senate, which I think has led to the establishment of the standing committees of the Senate. [More…]
We know that he has been a man of integrity, steadfastness and independence. [More…]
I know that the man in whose position I act at the present time would have me wish you all a most pleasant Christmas and a very healthy and bright opening to 1975. [More…]
by leave- I should like to thank the Leader of the Opposition (Senator Withers) and the Leader of the Australian Country Party in the Senate (Senator Drake-Brockman) for their gracious comments. [More…]
As to the likely duration of our tenure of office, I should like to remind both honourable senators of the old adage that a threatened man lives long. [More…]
Instances have been reported by the same man in the same area of young men who are in constant employment, who are good young workers, good people and respected employees being threatened by the police, who have gone out on to the jobs, with all sorts of actions if they do not admit to certain crimes that they have not committed. [More…]
In one instance a policeman is alleged to have said: You have a white man’s job working with the local railway department, and we will make sure you lose your job unless you submit and give us the information that we require’. [More…]
I wish to refer for a couple of minutes more to an incident that occurred when a white man, accompanied by three or four Aborigines, tried to get served at the Kulgera Hotel. [More…]
The white man concerned, who was a Mr Leahy, bought some sandwiches. [More…]
The gentleman who owned the hotel drove down the road a few minutes afterwards, went into the hotel, apparently said nasty words to the girls who had served this man and his black friends and then he was heard to say to the girl: ‘Why did you serve those bastards?’ [More…]
The white man said to the hotelkeeper: ‘Would you please play it quietly?’ [More…]
It excludes a proportion of the 10 000 executives many of whom the director of the Chamber of Commerce in Melbourne said were too proud to register for employment. [More…]
It is demeaning to a man that he should not be able to get a job. [More…]
We have seen the removal of manufacturing and rural incentive programs. [More…]
We have seen a destruction of confidence throughout the country and the result has been a man-made and entirely unnecessary recession. [More…]
The man has 2 hats. [More…]
The man affected is the man who works for wages, the man who in his innocence and trust helped to vote this Government into power and the kind of Australian who will vote it out of power sooner or later- I hope sooner. [More…]
in the document written by the man who appears to be Mr Lynch ‘s historical guru or historical astrologer. [More…]
In 1931 for example, a Stale parliament in which a Labor government held office appointed a Labor successor to a Nationalist senator and, in 1946, a State parliament, in which voting pursued party lines, appointed a Country Party man to replace a Labour senator. ‘ [More…]
Then a former leader of a Liberal Government in the Senate in the days when Sir Robert Menzies was the Prime Minister of this country, a man who had a very distinguished political career in Australia, a man who was held in great respect by honourable senators from all political parties and one who, when I first entered this Parliament in 1962, was held in a certain amount of awe- Senator Sir William Spooner- on 1 1 October 1 962 at page 760 of Hansard stated: 1 hold the view very firmly that when there is a casual vacancy in the Senate, by tradition and usage it should be tilled by the appointment of a person holding the same political views as were held by the senator whose place is being filled. [More…]
But I would have thought that Senator Withers, whose amendment I find very attractive, could have gone the whole hog and condemned rather more straightforwardly the admitted departure from precedent that we have seen from this brash neophyte, Mr Lewis- he is known in the State Parliament, by the way, as the bull-roarer from Bowral- is a man who shoots from the hip, gets brainstorms and then thinks later or gets leaned on later by the very hard-headed members of his own Party. [More…]
I would think that a man like Senator Withers would be horrified at such a proposition. [More…]
Does the Minister agree that such advice would only reduce the overall viability of this man’s property as a fully operational unit and would do nothing to help him in his current short term problem? [More…]
Mr Lewis has demonstrated that, even if he is bluffing, he is not a man to be trusted in such matters. [More…]
The honourable senator seems to be proclaiming him as a stubborn man. [More…]
No man, looking back over their succession, could say that political experience was a necessary condition of a distinguished chief-justiceship - [More…]
No man, however, could say that it was, in the slightest, a disqualification. [More…]
No man, however, could say that political experience was, in the slightest, a disqualification. [More…]
He also has and demonstrates a humanistic approach to social matters. [More…]
He was a kindly and sympathetic man. [More…]
But the thing I emphasise about the man is the vastness of his contribution in this chamber as a legislator. [More…]
It means that the man who was appointed as his replacement was a member of the party to which Senator Hannaford belonged at the time he was elected. [More…]
The Labor Government in Western Australia appointed to the Senate a man who was here for only a few monthsthe State President of the Country Party in Western Australia- something which would in normal circumstances have made it much easier for him to be re-elected and to retain Senator Prowse ‘s seat in the Senate. [More…]
He is a very responsible, able and charming man. [More…]
The Mayor of Darwin was on one side and wanted to be the big man of Darwin. [More…]
If I become heated it is because, as I remind honourable senators opposite, there are many people living in conditions of psychological pressure in the various States of Australia and the situation is becoming worse for them. [More…]
I think that the situation in Darwin could justify the continuation of emergency provisions which make one man virtually the controller of Darwin. [More…]
I say quite specifically: If the Minister says that Mr Oakes, the author of these articles, is stating things which are untrue then he ought to say so publicly so that the public will know that Mr Oakes is a fiction writer under the guise of a man who reports facts. [More…]
That is a matter for further disclosure at some stage in the future because it is embarrassing to find so many unanswered questions on the notice paper. [More…]
I put the time there- approximately 8.15 p.m. Mr Katter then came over to a position immediately behind me, leant over and said in a threatening manner to Senator Keeffe- this is where he did it, right here- ‘Step outside, Keeffe ‘. [More…]
Mr President, I will swear on my honour that these are the exact words that that man said. [More…]
I think that the Minister for Foreign Affairs (Senator Willesee) when he answers will say that of course the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) when in Opposition had the availability of a public relations man such as Mr Race Mathews. [More…]
I understand that he was employed as a public relations man. [More…]
Senator Devitt is a man who is interested in this particular matter. [More…]
I have raised in this House the fact that this Government granted to one margarine manufacturer in Australia the right to produce margarine in the Australia Capital Territory. [More…]
The opportunity was not given for other manufacturing companies to offer to do the job. [More…]
We hear no suggestions of a disclosure of what a man who is in receipt of $50,000 or $60,000 a year does with his money. [More…]
We often say, ‘one man, one vote’, but that is not enough. [More…]
It should be ‘one man, one vote, one dollar’. [More…]
It is a mockery to say that the average man’s vote equals the millionaire s vote, so long as the millionaire’s vote can be supplemented with a $100,000 contribution to buy television time that will influence thousands of other voters. [More…]
That was written by a man who has experienced the backlash of Watergate. [More…]
Many men have prospected in this country but did not have any luck and Hancock did. [More…]
The point I am making is that a man like Hancock can come in with a massive donation and prostitute television channels. [More…]
Senator Marriott, for instance, hits hard but he is a fairer man than one or two of the other Liberal senators who believe in a boots-and-all policy. [More…]
I like to believe that I am my own man when I am here. [More…]
We often say, ‘one man, one vote’, but that is not enough. [More…]
It should be ‘one man, one vote, one dollar’. [More…]
It is a mockery to say that the average man’s vote equals the millionaire s vote, so long as the millionaire’s vote can be supplemented with a $100,000 contribution to buy television time that will influence thousands of other votes. [More…]
It weeds out the candidates early who have no public support, because the ability to get support from the public as private contributions is in part a measure of a man s ability to survive the process. [More…]
That is because these services can be provided on a scale and we have the economy of scale which, in many instances, I believe leads to a saving of 25 per cent of the cost of carrying out those services. [More…]
This Government exists for the welfare of every man, woman and child in the Australian community. [More…]
Every man, woman and child in the Australian community ought to be on an equal footing. [More…]
If he has, is he able to confirm that the Prime Minister misled the people of Australia and the Minister himself misled the Senate by stating that all Premiers had agreed in 1 95 1 upon a convention that the successor to a Senate vacancy should be of the same political party as the man who was being replaced? [More…]
Dr Coombs had been actively associated with the Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust in the 1 950s and was a man deeply committed to the encouragment of Australian cultural life and to the recognition of her cultural identity. [More…]
He was thus very well fitted to undertake the chairmanship of the Council. [More…]
This would enable any man in the street to mount a campaign to match his, but how many people would be deterred from seeking parliamentary appointment purely and simply because they knew they could not raise a like amount and knew that the fight was unequal from the start? [More…]
There is a genuine case proposed by the Government of asking a man to put his money where is mouth is, and if he wants to back a candidate or a political party by a financial donation we say there is nothing wrong with that but it should be disclosed for public benefit, and surely that is the purpose of this Bill. [More…]
Of course, we know that he is a man who is very intemperate in his expressions and this indicates his type of thinking. [More…]
As recently as last weekend at the Tasmanian conference of the Australian Labor Party- his own Party- he spoke of Opposition members as being thugs and wreckers, unscrupulous and so on. [More…]
I was not elected to this chamber to be a yes man; I was elected to this chamber to speak and to vote according to the way I feel. [More…]
I apologise for taking up the Senate’s time, but I demand the right of the common man sitting in this place to express an opinion against the sophistries of lawyers whom 1 hear speaking from the Government side, and I rest my case on that. [More…]
I had no intention to convey to Senator Button that he was a man who went along ‘flip-flop, flip-flop’ in his sandals. [More…]
What I clearly said- I am sure that the Hansard proofs tomorrow will demonstrate this- is that he had the intellectual looseness of a man who goes around ‘ flip-flop, flip-flop ‘ in sandals. [More…]
I rise with some hesitation to respond to him because I fear the man who commences his argument on a purely constitutional legal matter, parading sincerity and finishing on sincerity, putting forward an argument which was hopelessly inadequate in the Labor conference in Launceston and expecting it to be effective here in the Senate; that is especially so when that exponent of sincerity went to London as a member of the 6-State delegation to argue the proposition that the Commonwealth was incompetent to request this legislation and that it was the prerogative of the States to say whether or not an appeal from the States’ common law jurisdiction should be abolished. [More…]
When 1 have to argue with people who resort to conscience and people who trail the frayed embryo of sincerity, and then harken to people who say of their erstwhile Premier that it is time for him to get out if he has run out of steam, that is, if he has been embarrassed by the person who I assume was the Deputy Premier and Attorney-General of Tasmania - [More…]
-Senator Wright is a man who manages to be vocal on matters of some triviality and I would have thought on this most important constitutional matter of the day we would have heard from him. [More…]
I totally reject this phoney patrician slur on a man as cultivated as Senator Button, and it was in that context that he made his remarks. [More…]
In view of the no man’s land which exists between Dr Everingham and Mr Clyde Cameron in relation to the surveillance of industrial safety in the Northern Territory, could we have early clarification of the final guidelines having regard to industrial hazards which could face workers if the Ranger mine commences uranium extraction? [More…]
This indicates a growing complexity in the Australian judicial system which has undoubtedly confused Senator Wright and, one assumes, must accordingly undoubtedly confuse many people and many potential litigants in the community. [More…]
Hotspur said: ‘Why, so can I; or so can any man: But will they come, when you do call for them?’ [More…]
For example, when I am caught in a traffic jam I, too, have a romantic attachment to the horse and buggy days. [More…]
I believe Senator Wright to be incapable of recognising that now although apparently he was as a younger man when the Liberal Party was in office. [More…]
The clients for whom I acted won the election and the man who had been elected in this ballot as secretary of the union turned up in the union office to occupy his office and was told by the defeated secretary: ‘Yes, you can have a seat over there in that corner of the office. [More…]
This was said by a man who had just been defeated in a ballot by my client. [More…]
Perhaps it might be significant that that same man is very touchy. [More…]
This was evidenced the other night when he came over to this chamber and wanted to start a Jimmy Sharman boxing tent in the Senate. [More…]
I must say that Senator Georges raised that subject very effectively when he referred to the Queensland Premier refusing to co-operate in many details with the Commonwealth, one of which I suppose will be the Lands Commission. [More…]
This is the man apparently for whom the Opposition would deny this legislation. [More…]
It is for that sort of man that the Opposition tonight would refuse to pass the essential part of the Seas and Submerged Lands Bill which it knocked down when it went before this House in 1973, when Senator Greenwood said that, firstly - [More…]
If my memory serves me correctly, a former Prime Minister of Australia, a man I have a great respect for still, namely Mr John Grey Gorton, attempted to do the same thing as we are trying to do now for the fourth time. [More…]
That former Prime Minister is a man for whom I have a lot of respect because first and foremost he is an Australian. [More…]
But with all that to mystify a man’s mind I just say that it is a pleasant relief to remind the Senate of some real political facts. [More…]
Despite the fact that I thought in my own proper and individual judgment that the jurisdiction for oil exploration in the off-shore oil territory belonged to the Commonwealth, as a practical man I voted with the majority so that there could be early implementation of the mineral legislation in relation to the off-shore oil. [More…]
He concentrated on the powers of direction given to the Minister, this terrible man whom we have heard castigated before in this chamber- Mr Connor, the Minister for Minerals and Energywho has probably done more to protect the interests of Australia in 2 years than any other person has done in the history of this country. [More…]
We find with interest this morning in the ‘Financial Review’ the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Snedden) in the other place, the man for whom Senator Sir Magnus Cormack would no doubt don flip-flop asbestos sandals and walk over hot coals, stated- still peddling the same old stuff- in an answer to a question in the ‘Financial Review’: [More…]
Medibank will provide free medical insurance cover for every man, woman and child in Australia. [More…]
For many years Dr Thomas O’Donnell lived next door to me. [More…]
He is a man whom I know very well and who taught me. [More…]
He was sacked because the Department of Repatriation and Compensation had taken on a full time salaried specialist- a very well trained man and a man with whom there is no argument- and in taking him on the Department sacked Dr O’Donnell, Dr Frank Lang, Dr John Walker and Dr Robert Talbot. [More…]
Here is a Commonwealth department employing doctors and that department sacking doctors, one of them a returned soldier who had been on the staff since 1947 and a senior man since 1953. [More…]
And oh, in what a gentlemanly way it does the sacking. [More…]
The Government wants a salaried staff and when the salaried man arrives, 4 ENT men are sacked. [More…]
It is a matter of some wonder to me that this new scheme, which will disadvantage every man, woman and child in Queensland, is being brought in mainly by the Minister for Social Security (Mr Hayden) and the Minister for Health (Dr Everingham) who are Queenslanders. [More…]
They know that, come election time, money, literature and a public relations man will be supplied to their parties by the voluntary health funds and that these will be supplied from moneys that have been contributed by innocent people who thought they were putting all their money into insuring against their health needs. [More…]
We must never forget in whatever sort of society we live that there will always be an employeremployee relationship, whether there be, as in this country and many others in the Western world, half a million employers or one employer. [More…]
That situation produced the greatest exploitation of man and resources that has ever been recorded. [More…]
It depicted a Gestapo member standing at the elbow of the man working at the lathe and it said: ‘This is the sort of society you do not want’. [More…]
Leaving aside the argument on which Senator Greenwood entered the debate, the basic argument ought to be that where we can provide a new legislative framework for employers and bosses to get together in a better and more involved union involving not only the man at the top but also the worker on the ground floor we ought to say: ‘Yes, we will consider it’. [More…]
It is as ridiculous as a man who refused a $10 note that was offered to him because he suspected that his debtor would pay the second account with a forged cheque. [More…]
A man would be a fool or lunatic who did anything of the sort. [More…]
A sensible tradesman would take the money and wait for the forged cheque to be presented before he attempted to do anything with it. [More…]
On the radio program ‘AM’ this morning the Secretary of the Association said that the Association is opposed to any coercion but that of 1 5 000 public servants in South Australia there would easily be sufficient volunteers to man the services going to Monarto. [More…]
If I may interpolate, the next words are the important words - works of man or the combined works of nature and of man. [More…]
works of man or the combined works of nature and of man. [More…]
I think all of us could claim credit for the Kosciusko National Park and to the work done by a man who is now in the autumn of his life, Sir William McKell. [More…]
I always remember the work of a man who has passed from this world, Arthur Tonge MLA, who was able to get the then Chief Secretary to create the New South Wales Fauna Panel. [More…]
The third treaty deals with the point which I think Senator Carrick made about matters which could be of nature and man combined. [More…]
It is not beyond belief that a man of the primitive outlook of Mr Bjelke-Petersen - [More…]
No man borrows if he does not need to borrow. [More…]
There is in Australia a young man named Max Wechsler. [More…]
He has attended its meetings, participated in and organised many of its activities and, aditionally, he has been its minute secretary. [More…]
I had indicated that the source of the information which was available to me was a young man who had been in these organisations at the same time as he had been an employee of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation and who had made available to me information connected with these matters. [More…]
One man said that all you needed to go through with the project was dynamic positivism. [More…]
I can understand why his performance in the other place is not as good as it might otherwise be. [More…]
He is a man who displays a degree of timidity and indecision. [More…]
It certainly does not enhance Senator Greenwood ‘s standing in my eyes as a man of the law, a Deputy Leader of the Opposition and a former Minister of the Crown for him to use the technique that he used in the Senate. [More…]
It was last March and Wechsler got a series of questions from his ASIO man John, who told him that they came straight from Murphy’s office. [More…]
This man has evidently gone into hiding and has top senior security officers protecting him; but apparently he broke away from them or Senator Greenwood may still have some links from back in that dark age before we became the Government, when he was AttorneyGeneral. [More…]
If my memory serves me right he has had some communication with that gentleman since that time. [More…]
His limited command of the English language and his inability to understand questions and answer them was shown on ‘A Current Affair’ last Monday. [More…]
How could this man report accurately and faithfully to his ASIO puppeteers? [More…]
Yet this Premier who gets these weird ideas, as was said by way of interjection, has been reendorsed by the public of South Australia and is the man who was responsible for kicking Senator Steele Hall out of the Premiership of South Australia. [More…]
I am indebted to one of my Senate colleagues for having made available to me remarks by a pioneer civil rights activist of America’s black community- a man named Bayard Rustin. [More…]
It is not possible that the nightmare of Vietnam will ever pass from the memory or the conscience of any man or woman of our time. [More…]
A great writer once said that if a London cab man introduced sixpenny fares he would make a fortune in a year, but the writer added that if the cab man had the sense to introduce sixpenny fares he would not be a London cab man. [More…]
For a long time now many honourable senators opposite have been carrying on a form of petty political persecution and, if they liked, they could put upon this Government at any time simply because they have the numbers in this place. [More…]
As a man trained and experienced in interpreting constitutions and studying regulations he knows as well as I and everybody else in this chamber knows that the reason that the Government could not specifically spell out the inclusion of the State public services is that the Constitution does not. [More…]
Any man on the street who could call himself a builder got a sub-contract and went out and built houses. [More…]
Now we have some very good and qualified sub-contractors building houses for the Housing Trust in the area in which I live, the Murray Bridge-Mannum area of South Australia. [More…]
I think the Prime Minister adequately responded to Mr Nixon’s criticism by saying that he was very pleased indeed that the Government had appointed as Chairman of the ABC a man with the capacity of Professor Downing who had shown great ability and integrity and had given drive and impetus to the ABC in the time that he has been its Chairman. [More…]
If the Australian Labor Party had the concern for the Vietnamese people, of whom Dr Cairns and Mr Uren allege they are so fond, it should be demanding in every forum open to it, in every embassy throughout the world, for diplomatic initiatives to be taken to achieve what it claimed it stood for for so long- an end to the fighting. [More…]
Dr Cairns says that the fall of the Thieu government would be the best solution to the problem of Vietnam- what a statement from a man who claims to serve the cause of peace and who condemns outside interference in the internal affairs of nations. [More…]
His close colleague, the Minister for Urban and Regional Development, Mr Uren- another man of peace- also had difficulty in containing himself. [More…]
Then he says: ‘If you let our man, Mr Fraser, have a look at the cables he will not say what is in them- he will not say whether they are the same or whether they are different.’ [More…]
This was said by the man who funked his responsibilities in World War I: [More…]
Ngo Dinh Diem, a man whom we are led to believe- not by the communists, but by responsible Americans- was subsequently deposed and possibly murdered by the American Government itself or an agency of the American Government, was brought back from Belgium, where he was living, and a puppet government- there is no other way to describe it- was created in South Vietnam. [More…]
Air Vice-Marshal Ky, who was once greeted in Australia with great acclaim as a saviour, a man who stated in what high admiration he held Adolf Hitler and who showed his patriotism by fighting for the French against Algerian independence in 1956, a man who fought as a pilot strafing and bombing the Algerian people virtually as a mercenary fighting for the French, comes from Hanoi. [More…]
He is the man who made the decision to recognise the Soviet incorporation of the Baltic States. [More…]
He is the man who has taken personal control over Australia’s activities in regard to this matter of Vietnam. [More…]
He is the man who chose to make the statement yesterday, bypassing his Foreign Minister (Senator Willesee). [More…]
That young man had the tenacity, initiative, intelligence and knowledge of the industry to enable the Committee to carry out such remarkable work of investigation. [More…]
He waited for many months hoping that the Securities and Exchange Committee report would be presented before he introduced the legislation. [More…]
For many weeks Dr Rose worked with the Attorney-General’s Department in the drafting of this legislation. [More…]
A rogue like Alexander Barton- I use the word because I have used it before in this place concerning this man- who was able to float 500 million shares on the Australian market in 1 8 months and milk the community of almost $20m would be made to accept responsibility for his deeds if this Bill were law. [More…]
Senator Sheil told us earlier that he was a punting man. [More…]
I was saying that Mr Joseph Kennedy was a man indeed of very great experience- in fact, unsurpassed experience, one might say- in the manipulations of the securities market. [More…]
The young man that I mentioned by the name of William Leslie Davidson is, naturally, a member of the Davidson clan. [More…]
This young man was charged in the courts with assault and damage to property. [More…]
But this young man, William Leslie Davidson, has a nickname, Junior’. [More…]
He is not ‘Junior’ Davidson in the true sense of the white man’s understanding of the term, which is of a son named after his father. [More…]
There is another young man who also is called ‘Junior’ because he is named after his father. [More…]
The young man about whom I want to talk this evening, William Leslie Davidson- nicknamed Junior’- was arrested because an Aboriginal man made a complaint to the police. [More…]
The grandfather of William Leslie Davidson is a gentleman by the name of Les Davidson. [More…]
He studied by kerosene lantern light to become a fully qualified tradesman. [More…]
He became a drainer and he worked with the Ipswich City Council for about 40 years with many men, Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal, under his charge. [More…]
I suppose that in the white man’s way of looking at things this young boy has not had a good life or a good record. [More…]
This young man was represented by the Aboriginal Legal Aid Service. [More…]
Those people were then and still are prepared to appear and give evidence that this young man is serving 2 years for a crime he never committed. [More…]
If I was a man I would tell you that it was a load of ‘. [More…]
being a woman, I can only say hogwash’. [More…]
I am an Aborigine and to whom do I turn (in fact any citizen turn) when it is firmly believed that there has been a miscarriage of justice and an innocent man convicted of a crime? [More…]
Davidson Junior stated to the policeman at the time of his arrest that he was not in the vicinity of the assault that night, that he was attending a party at a relative’s place in another area of Ipswich. [More…]
The policeman asked him to name the witnesses so that he could interview them, but Davidson Junior refused to name them at that time. [More…]
If it is not correct it is the jury system of Queensland which is corrupt and which has convicted an innocent man. [More…]
It has demonstrated a unique capacity for promoting innovation, and a flexibility that responds to man’s ever-changing demands and potential. [More…]
I know that Mr Ellicott is a hard-working man. [More…]
I am sure there are many senators who have had the numbing experience of hearing of the death or serious injury of a relative or close friend. [More…]
It must be apparent to all that the road toll is one of modern man’s greatest diseases. [More…]
A man who is no longer a leader of a party. [More…]
If one bought a Holden in 1 970 and bought another one this year, would one expect the first car to have identical components after its road performance? [More…]
I said to the man who was handing out the cards: ‘That is interesting. [More…]
When a person goes to the ballot box it does not matter whether he is the wealthiest or the most humble man in the land. [More…]
When he gets into the ballot box with his ballot paper in his hand he is in that respect as strong as the strongest man in the land. [More…]
Of course, it can be looked at from the other side: The strongest man is as weak as the weakest in the land. [More…]
The activities of the Government certainly have a great deal of relevance to the happiness and contentment of every man, woman and child in the Australian electorate. [More…]
If people cannot get the man or woman they want to be elected, under the preferential voting system they have the opportunity to sit down and to say: ‘If I cannot have this person I will have that person. [More…]
Another eminent man in politics, Professor Don Aitkin, who is a Professor of Politics at Macquarie University, in an article which appears in ‘Think Tank’ talks of optional preferential voting as a sound idea. [More…]
Of course, there were also those with a more practical interest, like the Victorian Farmers’ Union, who wanted to run candidates themselves, but refrained from doing so because they would thereby split the non-Labor vote and let the Labor man in. [More…]
The only thing that happened at this meeting to cause one of the Country Party candidates to do what he did was that when Mr Anthony rose to speak this man had the audacity, so it was said, to rise with a placard, on which was written, ‘Oh God, no, not Anthony’. [More…]
With that, we find that this particular gentleman, whom I will not name, leant forward and struck him three or four times over the head with a roll of election papers and broke his glasses. [More…]
The case was dismissed on the undertaking that he paid for the repair of the gentleman’s glasses. [More…]
I noted that Senator McLaren drew attention to the long hours worked by the officers who have to man the polling places and to the complexity of the arrangements, and I agree with him. [More…]
One can look around one’s own Party room, where there are about 100 members, or any organisation in which one is involved and one can conscientiously say to oneself that a certain man would be one’s ninth preference over one’s tenth preference. [More…]
We seek to delete the provision that requires the person to be a Commonwealth officer or a State officer and we want to look around the whole of a State to find who would be the best man for the particular job. [More…]
There will be an electoral man. [More…]
There will be a man with cartographic, surveying, knowledge. [More…]
Because this man was a candidate for the Australian Labor Party somebody saw fit to lodge an objection that his 2 daughters were still on the roll and naturally would have voted for their father. [More…]
Honourable senators have seen this many times in their electoral and political lives. [More…]
As a matter of fact, if one thinks about it, the advantage would go to the small and new party, because it would not, and of course could not, have the apparatus that the big parties have, that is, manning of every booth and using all the money that is used. [More…]
How could the small party man every booth in the States throughout Australia? [More…]
Whether a man is a member of Parliament, a senior public servant or is in some public employ or is selfemployed, he has to be elected on merits that he must prove to the public. [More…]
As Senator Withers said, it would take a very game man to start looking at this section of the Constitution. [More…]
I think that a man in public life such as that, because he decides to try to move to the federal sphere, has to pay a very big penalty, because if he does not win the seat he stands for in the Federal Parliament it means that he has probably lost his seat in the State House. [More…]
I do not wish to put forward a great deal of argument, but this is a matter about which I have felt very strongly for many years. [More…]
What about the busy man who seeks to submit his nomination only a few minutes before the deadline?’ [More…]
Our Man In The Company [More…]
Senator Greenwood was an accessory of the then Minister for Immigration, Dr Forbes, who in the realm of civil liberties took the passport of Mr Srecko Rover, a man of Croatian origin, who happened to be in Canada. [More…]
The high school children of the man involved were able to say to me that they felt proud to be Australians. [More…]
I am probably at a disadvantage because I do not have the full details on the man referred to by Senator Greenwood. [More…]
Less than a month ago I had a case involving a man in the electorate of Mr William McMahon, the electorate in which I live. [More…]
This man came to me. [More…]
This man had remained in a sort of citizenship limbo. [More…]
I admit that I am offended by what Senator Greenwood had to say, because it reminds me of the many times I made representations on behalf of people who for many years were refused naturalisation. [More…]
Therefore, it seems strange to me that Senator Greenwood should come here now and take up the very position that we took up for so many years. [More…]
I say to Senator Greenwood that if the man he mentioned has been refused citizenship on political grounds, as he said, then the case ought to be reviewed and I will help him review it. [More…]
Nevertheless, I must go back to the fact that it was a little hard to take his speech, considering the many hundreds of applications that were refused by the Opposition when it was in Government. [More…]
We can all recall many occasions when complaints were raised in this House about the actions of previous Ministers for Immigration in refusing entry to Australia for various reasons. [More…]
Senator Mulvihill examined among others the Rover case in which, while this man was overseas, his passport was withdrawn. [More…]
Refusal in many cases after examination in the light of circumstances, information given to the Minister and information obtained from overseas sources is no surprise. [More…]
The gentleman whose case I put to the Senate is one whose name has been mentioned in the Senate in the past. [More…]
His name is Ivan Pavlovic, a man against whom no convictions have been recorded. [More…]
He has no criminal record in any sense except the contrived sense that his name has been bandied about in this chamber on many occasions and he has been subjected to an incessant barrage of questioning and public vilification. [More…]
He was accused in this Parliament under privilege of being a man who had said he would kill the Prime Minister of Yugoslavia, and I invite honourable senators to recall the events which took place in this country in early 1973. [More…]
It is an accusation which has been denied on behalf of this man in this place; it is an accusation which he himself denied on oath when he appeared before a Senate select committee of this Senate. [More…]
In Federal elections all political parties complain that they have to man the booths until 8 p.m. [More…]
There were many other examples. [More…]
If one looks at the record one will find that, when the people of Australia are put to the test, they are politically conscious and will look for the name of the man and/or the Party they want and will not go for the Amours, the Ashleys and the Ayletts. [More…]
It is a 12-hour day for party workers and the officers who man the polling places. [More…]
The President of this Division is Pastor K. Frame, an eminent man, a man who is the leader of his church in Australia. [More…]
In many cases they are there until 1 o’clock or 2 o’clock in the morning before they finish. [More…]
In my experience most returning officers find it very difficult to obtain enough staff to man polling booths. [More…]
What I am saying is that returning officers in most cases find it very difficult to get enough staff to man polling booths, lt has been suggested that booths could be manned in shifts, that one group of people could man the booths until 8 o’clock and another group of people could come in and work from 8 o’clock till midinght. [More…]
In my opinion the Government is seeking to do something that ought to have been done many years ago, that is, to close the polling booths at 6 p.m. [More…]
In the Melbourne ‘Sun’ of 1 1 March 1975 there appeared an article entitled: ‘“kill” threats to ASIO man- Arab terrorists’. [More…]
In the Melbourne Sun’ on 14 March 1975, which is no more than 6 days after the second part of the attack in the Senate, there appeared an article entitled: “ASIO Man” Remanded’. [More…]
A man charged with having carried a loaded rifle in Lonsdale St. told the City Court yesterday he was an ‘under cover secret agent’. [More…]
In the Melbourne ‘Age ‘of Saturday, 15 March 1975, there appeared an article headed ‘Man from ASIO fined over firearm ‘. [More…]
A man who told police he was an undercover agent for ASIO was lined $200 on firearm charges in Melbourne Magistrate ‘s Court yesterday. [More…]
I repeat that he was one concerned with sex, crime and sabotage, and I repeat that the only person who seemed to be engaged in that was the self same man, because I invite honourable senators to read the articles that I have here; but he is a convicted criminal. [More…]
I was concerned at the time not so much that Senator Greenwood had attacked the Australian Labor Party or this Government- that is politics- but that a man of his standing and status should have done so. [More…]
I should have thought that the remarks of Senator Brown would have evinced some response from Senator Greenwood, who was responsible for the original outrageous charges surrounding this man. [More…]
I think I will call him by the correct German pronunciation of his name- Wechsler- because that sounds more sinister and is more in keeping with the atmosphere with which Senator Greenwood sought to surround this extraordinary case. [More…]
It had the effect of destroying a great man in the person of Dr Evatt. [More…]
It says a lot for Senator Greenwood’s hide that he is even prepared to sit here and listen to a repetition of what he said about this man who exposed the awful connections between the revolutionaries in Australiathe members of the Socialist Workers League, I think it is called- and the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
There is in Australia a young man named Max Wechsler. [More…]
Senator Greenwood accepted this newspaper’s highly coloured story of this man going to bed with women in order to get their secrets from them. [More…]
As a matter of fact, I have met this type of young man, and in order to show my familiarity with the problem, I inform Senator Greenwood that at the age of 20 years I belonged to just such an organisation. [More…]
In all societies there have been romantic young men and romantic young women who thought that they could take society by storm, that they could rush up to the barricades. [More…]
Senator Greenwood seriously stood up in this place and tried to scare the Australian Senate and the Australian people with the notion that we should not sleep easily in our beds because of the presence of these people who had been infiltrated by this patriotic young man, this young man Wechsler who had experienced the horrors of communism in Czechoslovakia. [More…]
There is the fact that for a while he had believed.in the romantic dream that you can overturn existing society by storming the barricades. [More…]
He got so far in the organisation of this terrorist outfit that was a threat to Australian society that he even became a member of the elite 8-man brains trust. [More…]
I ask honourable senators to contemplate the awful threat to Australia of this 8-man brains trust, consisting of 18, 19 and 20- year-old boys and girls ready to roll up to the barricades in their fathers’ Volvos, Mercedes or Jaguars. [More…]
As I will show a little later, this obviously neurotic, unbalanced young man sat himself down with Senator Greenwood and told him this terrible story of a double life, of taking girls to bed for sex and information. [More…]
For this poor unfortunate man- I say this advisedly- I have nothing but pity because, after all, the extremities of political life attract the ratbags, the misfits, the neurotics and the dropouts. [More…]
Is the honourable senator suggesting that there is some sort of Wassermann test that political parties can conduct on those seeking to join them, that we can take some sort of test to show that they are pure and uninfected by marxism, fascism or whatever else, or that there is some way in which a political party can protect itself from any infection? [More…]
It all came undone because one day his knight in shining armour, his infiltrator, his honest man seeking to expose the Labor Party for its infection with communism, finally showed himself to be the poor misguided ratbag that he was. [More…]
I call Senator DrakeBrock man. [More…]
The case in Tasmania has real relevance, whereas that in Victoria has relevance only from the point of view of showing that, when there is a Court of Disputed Returns, it is the proper tribunal to hear a proper case. [More…]
There is not the slightest degree of dishonesty, impropriety or corruption imputed to him, and that accords with my experience of Senator Webster, whose character, both as a man and as a politician- that is to say, exercising the rights of a politician throughout the time he has been here- has been one of unsurpassed integrity. [More…]
I get is that Senator Webster is a man of extremely high integrity and one who would never contemplate using his position in the Parliament for personal advancement. [More…]
I am demonstrating a point of view that I believe is shared by many in this chamber. [More…]
I hope that the High Court will see fit to delay consideration of this case- I am not a legal man and it may not be possible for this to happen, but I hope it isumi! [More…]
He is not a legal man. [More…]
If they are available and documented, why do we attack one man only? [More…]
Because an informer has given evidence to the Committee about one man, the Committee will turn Nelson’s eye to all the others. [More…]
It is pure nonsense to choose one man because he happens to be involved in a shareholding arrangement which has received a positive payment from the Commonwealth and yet to say to another, who gets an advantage by paying the [More…]
I felt I was placed in a very difficult position indeed- te be expected to vote on this matter today, so joining in a witch hunt that stops at one man. [More…]
There also can be no question that we cannot send one man to carry possibly five or six others behind him or perhaps to shield those behind him. [More…]
I would imagine that those 186 members of Parliament, and perhaps Senator Webster might join the crowd so that he will not be the odd man out at that stage, would welcome the opportunity to appear before a judicial committee of inquiry. [More…]
Senator Webster is a man of great integrity and honesty. [More…]
He has risen, by acclamation of this Senate, to the position of Chairman of Committees and, Mr President, he is your Deputy, the Deputy President of the Senate, one of the highest office holders in the land. [More…]
That indicates the type of man that he is. [More…]
In the course of the deliberations of this Committee a man named, I think, Brown and a newspaper reporter of the Melbourne ‘Age’ appeared before the Committee and drew to the attention of the Committee certain matters in which it was felt that Senator Webster, who was my Deputy, Mr President, as he is your Deputy, was in breach of the Constitution, under sections 44 and 45 of that document. [More…]
One of the persons was a man named, I think, P. C. Brown. [More…]
Yet we have the man who was the Prime Minister in 1972 and the man who was his Treasurer, lecturing the Government in the House of Representatives on the dangers and the evils of a too rapid increase in the money supply. [More…]
Sir Charles Court, who is not and never has been a man to be unduly confused by facts, continued and said: [More…]
The Commission will be accessible to the individual, the man in the street, the small private company and the big corporation, any of whom may have an issue or a complaint to raise. [More…]
These are personal details which no man would ever be asked to provide. [More…]
When one woman went to be retrained, the person interviewing her asked whether it was fair that she be retrained as she may have more children and in that case the skills she acquired would not be used by the community. [More…]
This woman pointed out that she had had a hysterectomy, so she was not likely to have any more children. [More…]
The gentleman interviewing her then asked her for the name of the gynaecologist so that he could check her claim. [More…]
No man in any circumstances would be asked for information of that type or be put through that sort of test if he was seeking retraining. [More…]
As an economics student I was able to study the practical situation of a great depression and I also had the privilege of learning something of that very great man. [More…]
Therefore the situation of the Keynesian times was that there was unemployment but absolutely no unwillingness on the part of the manufacturer- in fact there was complete willingness- and no obstacle placed in the way of the manufacturer setting to work to stimulate growth if he could get consumers to buy his goods. [More…]
All things to all men when it is a question of money- Dr Cairns says: ‘I will not restrain Government expenditure if it will put only one man back into employment’. [More…]
He is an intelligent enough man to know the difference between a letter between governments and cables sent to our ambassadors. [More…]
South Vietnam’s President Thieu has no intention of stepping down and appears to be a man in absolute control. [More…]
This is the verdict of the Opposition spokesman on Foreign Affairs, Mr Andrew Peacock, the Deputy Leader of the Country Party, Mr Ian Sinclair, and the Country Party MP for Riverina, Mr John Sullivan, after a one and a half hour meeting with the President in the palace library in Saigon yesterday. [More…]
Mr Peacock, the man who has now become the expert, has never held the portfolio of foreign affairs in any government. [More…]
He is the man presented today in this debate and in the debate in the other House as the principal person who understands foreign affairs and the principle spokesman for the Opposition parties on foreign affairs. [More…]
Aeschylus said: ‘It is not the oath that makes us believe the man, but the man the oath’. [More…]
I do not want to become emotional or subjective about my colleagues, but I would say that no more honest man has ever been a member of this Parliament than Senator Willesee. [More…]
I believe that if honourable senators opposite were not sitting en masse on the other side of the chamber with the support of the antiLabor mass media they would not have the courage to attack him in this way because they know very well that he is an honest man, a truthful man, a man who has tried to play and in fact has played a constructive role as Foreign Minister of this country. [More…]
He is a man who has made a decisive impression on the course of world history. [More…]
He is a man who is held in the very highest respect. [More…]
Seeing that this may well be the last debate on the question of Vietnam I would like posthumously to pay some tribute to the late Senator Hannaford, a man who in many respects was a very conservative person indeed but who was honest and courageous. [More…]
When a man says that cables are different in their nature but not in their purport or purpose, I wonder what he is seeking to conceal by that adroit use of language. [More…]
I suppose that the one man whose consistency is to be respected is Senator Wheeldon because all he was concerned about today was not to defend Senator Willesee- I think he mentioned the word ‘cables’ once and it was mentioned only in passing- but to assert that he was exultant and triumphant that North Vietnam had ultimately triumphed. [More…]
Edward Gough Whitlam has been caught out- exposed as a man who misled Parliament and the people with what can most charitably be described as half-truths. [More…]
It was the Opposition spokesman on Foreign Affairs, Mr Andrew Peacock, who first revealed the existence of (and differences between) the cables and who accused Mr Whitlam, quite correctly as it turns out, of directing his sympathies to the North. [More…]
-A11 that Senator Greenwood is doing, of course, is to build up a man of straw to suit his own proposition. [More…]
He is an excellent man to have in the Senate. [More…]
Remembering question time today before lunch and the fact that the Minister for Repatriation and Compensation (Senator Wheeldon), who was so constantly on the job, then followed by introducing the Social Services Bill 1975 and followed immediately after by introducing this Repatriation Acts Amendment Bill 1975, 1 think one can say to the Minister: ‘Little man, you are having a busy day’. [More…]
I think it fair to say that in recent times- the last 12 or 1 8 months- a lot of the sort of discussion which previously went on at some great length and quite often in a heated fashion has been taken out of the deliberations of this Senate as the result of negotiation between Senator Wriedt and myself on the one hand and Senator Withers and Senator Drake-Brock man on the other. [More…]
This is a case where the Government genuinely believes the sittings should be extended in the interests of effective discussion and debate, instead of having legislation by exhaustion, as used to be the case many years ago. [More…]
I have heard it described as the century of the homeless man’. [More…]
We have lived through programs of the World Refugee Year, and all manner of organisations at international and local level have been and still are working for and on behalf of refugees. [More…]
Now that the tragic events in Indo-China have produced yet another refugee situation it is my view that the Government should have been in a position to move much more quickly, with much more humanitarian effect and with greater effectiveness. [More…]
I ask the Minister, if I am incorrect, whether he will give the Senate a guarantee that these stations will not be used for propaganda purposes in any way at all, that a man such as Mr Grassby will not be in charge of the programming, that some independent authority will be in charge of the programming and that if politics are discussed there will be a balance and political discussions will not be loaded one way. [More…]
I should like to have assurance from the members of the Committee who are present- I think Senator Georges, Senator Marriott and Senator James McClelland, who are present, are members of the Committee- that the Committee will meet to hear further evidence and that it will not set a precedent of one man being affected by the evidence to the exclusion of others. [More…]
I promise the members who would make it so that there will not be a witch hunt of one man. [More…]
Therefore I should like the members of the Committee, the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Wriedt) or the Manager of Government Business in the Senate (Senator Douglas McClelland) to give me an assurance that the Committee will meet again and that it will hear evidence according to a reasonable application which I have made and which I have read to the Senate. [More…]
I am astounded that a man of such ability and intelligence should become a victim of such a manoeuvre. [More…]
During the inquiry, when the Committee demanded evidence of a nature which would show that certain sections of the Constitution were not sufficient to protect the integrity of members, quite by accident- Senator Hall knows that it was by accident- the Committee was faced with evidence brought before it which involved Senator Webster. [More…]
It upsets a man’s whole home life. [More…]
A man might own a newsagent’s shop, a greengrocery or some other small business in an area which is zoned as industrial and all the local residents move out, factories are built there and his business vanishes as a result of it. [More…]
There is no way in which we could pay compensation to that man for the loss of his business, and I do not think that we can do it in Darwin. [More…]
The time loss has been estimated at 4 500 000 man hours and the total cost, calculated on an average weekly wage basis, is $ 17.392m. [More…]
I am glad that we did not see a repetition in this chamber of what happened in the House of Representatives where there was a most disgraceful exhibition by Mr Ellicott who represents the electorate of Wentworth, a man who was the SolicitorGeneral and from whom one would have expected a measure of balance and judgment in a situation. [More…]
The woman has a baby in her arms and a toddler or two hanging on to her skirts and because she is not allowed to take a pram or stroller into the supermarket precincts- sacred precincts- she avails herself of a trolley which invariably has four wheels which all want to go in opposite directions. [More…]
She continues to nurse the babe and continues to control, with some dexterity, the fingers of her little darlings who are intent only on getting into the little goodies which the supermarket managers insist on placing right up to the checkout point. [More…]
Any man who says that a woman is incapable of lifting heavy loads and files of paper must have rocks in his head when one considers the work the women do in the supermarket. [More…]
Because he was an uneducated person and his skin was dark- - perhaps that is why he was an uneducated personhe fell behind with his payments and eventually the finance company sent a field officer to Geraldton, some 300 miles north of Perth, who discovered that the man was an Aboriginal. [More…]
White man’s gradings, rigid and unquestioned, [More…]
Suddenly caught up in white man ways [More…]
But remember, white man, if life is for happiness, [More…]
We have said that Aborigines cannot take drink because of some physical disability, that their manner of drinking is at fault. [More…]
There is abundant evidence in this country at this point of time of puny public officials in central Australia and the Northern Territory who take it upon themselves to say to an Aboriginal woman or man that they are not to get social services or child endowment because in the puny mind of those officials the Aborigines might spend the money in a way that does not suit the custom of the white man. [More…]
Finally I want to say that racism is an expression of a particular philosophy of life by which the superiority of one human being over another is believed to be a legitimate form for a social order. [More…]
I believe most firmly that it is not the ordinary man in the street, whatever prejudices he may foster, who is guilty of this kind of racism. [More…]
Therefore in my opinion any racial discrimination Bill should include a reference to the immoral ideologies by which racism is promoted at the expense of the dignity of humanity and all its individual members. [More…]
The honourable senator is a legal man; so I ask him where this discrimination ends. [More…]
One speaker quoted some man who had come from overseas and said that we were the worst racist country in the world. [More…]
I was rather surprised to find that the present Chairman of the OTC made a statement at the weekend saying that he was in favour of the merger. [More…]
I suppose a few people might have been impressed by the argument that the Chairman of the OTC was in favour of his organisation going out of existence and being merged with the proposed ATC. [More…]
I was pleased to note that that is not the unanimous opinion of the board of the OTC, one member of which had the independence and fortitude to disagree publicly with his chairman’s statement. [More…]
When one knows the real facts one could not attach any great significance to Mr Gibbs’ statement because he is the chairman of the Interim Commission of the Australian Telecommunications Commission. [More…]
I think I am right in saying that he was appointed chairman of the OTC after he had been given the job of interim chairman. [More…]
It is well known that he is to become the chairman of the new Australian Telecommunications Commission. [More…]
I find it very difficult to believe that a man in his position could be clearly weighing up on behalf of the OTC the effect of the OTC going out of existence and being merged with the ATC. [More…]
Therefore, despite the fact that I have a very high regard for Mr Gibbs and that I am sure he will do a very notable job as chairman of the new Australian Telecommunications Commission, I find it hard to believe that we in the Opposition should be persuaded by his views on this question in view of the conflict of interests which he obviously has. [More…]
The Commission has found that the skills required of a man to run a modern, competitive public enterprise such as the Post Office are entirely different from those required of him to be a public servant. [More…]
You know yourself, a man of your experience, that we are not talking about nationalisation. [More…]
Those 2 commissions will allow their managers to run their business more efficiently. [More…]
The proposition that such commissions should be free from that control goes back to the debates of many years ago. [More…]
One of the Directors-General of the Post Office of many years ago, Mr O ‘Grady, planted that proposition well in the front of public discussion when he retired. [More…]
He said that that is the sort of operation which should take place because it would allow managers of the Post Office to run their own business. [More…]
Assuming that there is a real significance, I ask: Is it a fact that a married man in the Army Reserve is paid less for 5 days Army work than a married man on social service pay who does nothing? [More…]
We had to hold up Bills and force him to limit his demands on that area. [More…]
We know that he is the same man who will be using the provisions of this Bill if it goes through in its present form. [More…]
Of course, this is the man Senator Withers quoted as an authority. [More…]
If there is going to be a wedding by Senator Hall, who claims to be wedded to this total principle of one man one vote, I trust he and his Party will campaign in the Australian Capital Territory, Tasmania and the Northern Territory saying that they should not have the number of seats they have because it works electoral injustice to the States of Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales and Western Australia. [More…]
Senator Webster was born on Flinders Island which, some honourable senators may know, is part of Tasmania. [More…]
The senator who concerns me most of all is a man for whom I have great respect. [More…]
I think Senator Townley ‘s attempts to provoke some sort of xenophobia in the populace of Tasmania will not work. [More…]
We would lose some eminent Tasmanians such as Senator Wriedt who, I understand, was born in Melbourne. [More…]
There are many others. [More…]
Fortunately his Party in Tasmania does not hold this view because the man about whom he said some very harsh things, Mr Sherry, 2 elections ago was opposed by a rather right wing gentleman from the southern states of the United States. [More…]
The new Secretary of the Liberal Party in Tasmania, like myself, is an import from that dreadful State of New South Wales. [More…]
The point is that people in many of the countries I have mentioned do not call one another poms and wogs they pop them off. [More…]
Recently, we have had a man named Perkins running around the country accusing this Government and the people of being racist. [More…]
He is the type of man and many others like him who stir up a racial attitude. [More…]
Because the seller is accused of racism I understand the coloured man has to get the home. [More…]
I have already spoken of the importance of ethnic identification for many children caught in the no man’s land of ambivalence between their home environment and that of their school still geared to the assimilationists ‘ goal of Angloconformity. [More…]
It would help to eliminate man’s inhumanity to man. [More…]
Franklin D. Roosevelt said: ‘There has never been, there is not now, there never will be any race of people on earth fit to serve as master of his fellow man’. [More…]
That board is the equivalent of the organisation proposed for Australia whose director-general, I understand from Senator Greenwood and other informants, will be quite a notable man who once served in another place, Mr Grassby. [More…]
It must be scrutinised very carefully because there are more mantraps in this Bill at present than the wit of man has ever devised, not because of malice but because of ignorance. [More…]
Being an extremely young man at the time, I became very angry about what I regarded as a rank injustice, so I said to the man who had brought the charge, an officer of a government department: ‘Why did you bring this charge?’ [More…]
He said: ‘Well, we have had a lot of complaints about having too many Aborigines in East Perth, and we are moving them out’. [More…]
That, to me, is blatant discrimination, and this woman was subjected to it not only by a government department but also by my own profession. [More…]
Mr Daly is no fool politically, and I think it is quite fair to say of him- I have said this to him and he knows itthat he is a numbers man. [More…]
The predominant feature in the mind of Mr Daly is getting as many seats for his own Labor Party as he possibly can. [More…]
He is a man who solved all problems by putting a hand in a bowl of pebbles which was held upright, taking out a pebble and looking at the pebble. [More…]
He was the only man who could read the striae on the pebbles. [More…]
I know Mr Malton, and I know that Senator Carrick, who is an opposite number to me as a party official, would not question the man’s integrity. [More…]
A man who was in this Senate and was a very illustrious leader of the Liberal Party- John Grey Gorton- said that. [More…]
The very man who leads this crusade for one vote one value represents a seat which remains continually in defiance of that concept. [More…]
one remarks that this ‘ Racial Discrimination Bill ‘ was drawn up in its present form largely by a man of southern European origins and with a southern European temperament assisted, so he said, by a woman of southern European origins who was reared in eastern Asia and the Philippines . [More…]
A man comes to the door. [More…]
The man has seen that one is black. [More…]
The latest report says that the Australian film which has made the biggest impact, with crowds in fact being turned away at times, is the adventure spectacular ‘Man from Hong Kong’. [More…]
I repeat that a man may not be a bad employer or a careless employer but it may just be that he is engaged in a trade in which accidents are more likely than in some other trade, and if his work is socially necessary I am not entirely sure that it is just to be charging him a higher rate of premium. [More…]
That was not my experience working in a government position as a much younger man in the early days of the war. [More…]
In addition, he has the added burden of knowing that if he does not perform in these areas and does not reach up to the requirements which go to make up a sort of six million dollar man’, he has to face at periodic intervals an election which might result in his losing his job. [More…]
I shall quote for Senator Georges a statement made by Mr Wells, who is a member of Parliament in South Australia, who was President of the South Australian Trades and Labour Council, and who is a man for whom I may say I have a tremendous respect and with whom I have some personal friendship. [More…]
A trade union official is a public relations man who has not only to go out and spread the message of unionism and the need to become a part of that democratic system but also to front up to those members of the union who refuse to pay their fees or those workers who refuse to join the union and participate in or contribute to the upkeep of the organisation that protects their interests. [More…]
In many cases his advocacy will match that of those who are skilled and highly paid; that is, those who are employed by the employer organisations. [More…]
In many cases because he has come up through the ranks- he needs to come up through the ranks if he is to do his job correctly and to understand what is his job- he has not had any training in the field of advocacy or organisation. [More…]
I want to go further and refer to the guerrilla tactics which have been used in so many areas of industry. [More…]
The average working man is a decent, honest Australian who wants to support his family. [More…]
I consider that many of these people are industrial drop-outs from the United Kingdom. [More…]
I think it will give an opportunity for so many more people in the industrial movement to get the education and a better understanding to deal with the various aspects of industry and commerce in which they are operating. [More…]
They will eventually have a far better understanding and appreciation of the real problems of unions, the real problems of management and the real need for responsibility not only on one side but on both sides- the workforce and management, collectively. [More…]
I could refer to many things- to costs and to the number of man hours lost in industry. [More…]
Think about the working man who so often does overtime. [More…]
In my own experience in the Labor movement -as most people know, I have been in it since I was 2 1 years old and I was a shop steward first and later a union secretary and a trades hall secretary- I have found that the experienced trade union advocate who is always prepared to give an honest deal is the man who makes the best progress. [More…]
In addition, the manager who keeps his word also makes the best progress. [More…]
I found in my own experience that in many cases employers in my State often were more favourable to making agreements with left wing leaders whose word they could accept than to making agreements with some of the people in the middle of the political spectrum. [More…]
I think it was Senator Wright who said that he considered that there ought to be some sort of arrangement whereby a man who was not a union official ought to be able to go to the College. [More…]
Of course, the fact that there is a man named Perkins who has gone from this country and has used all methods of propaganda to criticise Australia is quite beside the point which we are considering. [More…]
But Mr Perkins, the signatories to this Convention and the rest of the world can go before whatever forum is available to them and still call us racist; we will be judged by our performance. [More…]
In general 1 suppose it would be conceded by anybody that to murder a man is a more serious crime than to incite somebody to murder a man. [More…]
I take the worst historical example that we have had in recent history, the example of Nazi Germany. [More…]
It must be obvious to anybody looking at the history of the worst excesses of the Nazis that in the hearts of a large section of the German people were deep seated atavistic passions of hatred for the Jewish people. [More…]
Not only that; there were obvious manifestations of it every day. [More…]
I would put the inciter of racial prejudice in an analogous position of that of the pedlar of drugs, as against the man who harbours the racial poison of antisemitism or anti-colour. [More…]
Take the case of a barman in a hotel who takes it upon himself to refuse to serve an Aborigine or a man from a country in the far north. [More…]
Suppose the barman said, as this man walked in and asked for a schooner, or even a glass of lemonade, ‘No, we do not serve people like you’- and one can imagine the colourful terms that some of our barmen use. [More…]
It could be said that this was just an expression of prejudice on the part of the barman, but the case might be that the barman in this hotel was under general riding instructions from the proprietor of the hotel to this effect: ‘We do not have those so-and-so’s in this pub.’ [More…]
A complaint against the barman would have no effect. [More…]
He showed me the Ordinance in question which on its face would appear to support what he says, that is, that a man may be left with as little as $23 a week and a woman with as little as $15.25 a week under the garnishee proceedings of this Ordinance which was made in 1966. [More…]
If it were the beginning of an agressive policy by which the money paid from the Treasury was recovered from the man responsible, well and good. [More…]
Reiterating the point that was made in the second reading debate, we believe that the man who is to be the Commissioner of Community Relations, Mr Grassby, has shown by conduct and action that there will arise in the minds of some who could well be affected by this legislation the feeling that he has an antagonism to them which would lead them to believe that they could not get a fair go from him. [More…]
I think it was Senator Chaney in the course of the second reading debate who adverted to the fact that academics of some note- I think Doctor Eysenck was the man to whom he referred- have expressed views within the universities which suggest that there are innate or inherent tendencies which suggest superiority of one ethnic group over another. [More…]
The difficulty which I have with the clause is, notwithstanding the fact that it requires proof of intent to promote hostility, ill-will and so on, that the judgment of a man’s intent is something which has to be made on external factors. [More…]
An examination of the second reading debate in the Senate reveals the difficulty which can arise in trying to j udge a man ‘s intent in this field. [More…]
The speeches of Senator Gietzelt and Senator Laucke, for example, support the proposition that no man who advances an argument which suggests there are racial differences can be actuated by other than ill will. [More…]
The point I am trying to make to the Committee is simply that what to one man might be a genuine inquiry, a matter for intellectual study and perhaps even for publication, might be to another man dreadfully racist and a blot on the community. [More…]
I would like the honourable senator to recall that in the days when Mr Hunt was the Minister for the Interior, he was the man who brought in guns, batons and police to belt up Aboriginal people in front of this Parliament- one of the bloodiest episodes that we have ever seen on the lawns of Parliament House. [More…]
It would provide an opportunity for the citizen to resist the door knocker, the man with the form at the door, or any other implementation which the government of the day, whichever day it is, desires to put forward. [More…]
The fact is that the average working man could then buy his own home. [More…]
That is the loan that can be repaid by a man on the average weekly wage. [More…]
I think that it is fitting that we should pay a tribute to the man who more than anybody else was responsible for the conception of this Bill, for bringing it to this Parliament, for drafting it and for seeing that it became law. [More…]
I woul like to think that senators on both sides of the chamber will remember Senator Murphy, as he then was, as the sponsor and advocate of this Bill and the man who made it possible. [More…]
These railways have in the past been integrated into the total operations of the South Australian Railways and in many cases metropolitan lines provided the means for country and freight trains to enter the urban area. [More…]
The staff that man these lines are SAR employees. [More…]
However, the staff to man the metropolitan system will be ANR employees who will work under the general direction of the State Transport Authority. [More…]
This arrangement offers advantages for both the Australian National Railways and the State Transport Authority as it prevents the duplication of manpower resources, personnel and training facilities. [More…]
It also enables the employees of the ANR to continue to enjoy the social advantages of living in a large city as well as leaving the present career patterns of many railway employees unchanged. [More…]
Who were the people who were also at the dinner with former Senator Sule, the man who legally still should be a senator in the Chilean Parliament? [More…]
Mr Sicco Mansholt was there, for many years Minister for Agriculture in the Netherlands Government, and the former Chairman of the Commission of the European Economic Community. [More…]
Then our old colleague, Senator Sir Magnus Cormack, a former President of this Senate, a man who is somewhat out of date, entered the debate in defence of an attack by the military junta upon an elected parliament, and this seems to me to be quite improper in this debate. [More…]
I put it to them that the questions are put to me in a very cavalier manner. [More…]
As I understand it, he ought to have been the man who made the arrangements for the handing over of South Vietnam on the fall of that country. [More…]
Why do honourable senators opposite go on with this propaganda and with this senseless and untrue abuse of the Prime Minister when we had done exactly what I assume Senator Sim and the Liberal Party wanted us to do, namely, to bring to Australia a man who had some connections with Australia? [More…]
Under the criteria that we used, we invited that gentleman to Australia. [More…]
Special reference was made to this man. [More…]
Over all those years the difference between the Labor Party and the non-Labor parties has been that if the non-Labor parties think a man is a communist nothing is too bad for him; if they think he is a non-communist, even if he is a murderer, they hold that he should not have anything done to him. [More…]
I do not know whether the man is a communist. [More…]
If a man is treated like that it is bad, not only for Chile but for the whole international community. [More…]
If that man had been a Liberal or a member of the National Country Party of Australia, how would Senator Greenwood be feeling about him? [More…]
That man spent a couple of years in gaol, in solitary confinement and in concentration camps at the South Pole. [More…]
The present maximum rates provided for by the Act are $1.50, $1.75 and $1.20 per man hour for A, B and C classes of waterside workers respectively. [More…]
The Government sought from the Committee for the first time in Australian history an inventory of our natural and man-made heritage. [More…]
It also included programs to ensure that environment protection was the key part of the decisions of the Government, and it started a wide range of programs for the rational management of Australian land, air, water, and biological resources. [More…]
We will work with all who want to protect those parts of our heritage that have been created by man or nature and are unique or are things of beauty. [More…]
-I would have thought that if the Queensland Government was really dinkum about the beef industry, which is an important part of its economy, it might have emulated the efforts of Western Australia and Tasmania. [More…]
The reason I mentioned what I did at a meeting in Queensland a fortnight ago was to put squarely to the Queensland Government the question of why does it not do the same as Western Australia and Tasmania have done if it really believes that the beef industry needs the assistance that it claims it does. [More…]
If Western Australia and Tasmania can do these things when the beef industry is of less importance to them than it is to Queensland, I suggest that Mr Bjelke-Petersen is the man who ought to answer the honourable senator’s question. [More…]
These appointments give the independence that enables a man to disregard all pressure and to say that his lifetime is devoted to his office. [More…]
I think that it says something for the limitations which our society places on the activities of some of its leading citizens that this would be almost taken for granted in a society such as in the United States, where a man who chooses one occupation is not considered to be limited for his entire life to that occupation. [More…]
Let me take the case of a man who is due for retirement and who is earning $200 a week. [More…]
We will to a man campaign actively against them in any future election ‘, the President of the Australian Government Employee Organisations, Mr Ken Turbet, said. [More…]
I emphasise that it is incumbent upon any employer, particularly a government employer, to make certain that at the end of a man’s working life security will be provided to stand him in a good stead. [More…]
I am informed by a prominent yachting man from South Australia that in order to participate in this race it is necessary for this vessel to be equipped with a world range radio transmitter. [More…]
My suggestion is that the Government, through the Minister for Tourism and Recreation, ought to give a grant to this gentleman so that he can purchase the radio. [More…]
I know that the Minister is a man interested in sporting activities, and I believe that he is also one who would recognise the importance of having Australia represented in this race. [More…]
On making a few inquiries today, 1 learnt that in fact only 2 people are employed to man the information desk and to operate the bookshop which is located next to the post office on the lower floor. [More…]
Apparently, with the book shop open from 9 a.m. to 5.30 p.m. on a 7 days a week basis, the information desk can be manned by only one person from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. or 5.30 p.m. on the days on which the Parliament is sitting. [More…]
As we are selling the publications of the Australian Government Publishing Service in the bookshop downstairs, perhaps officers of that Service should man the wretched bookshop so that we will be left with at least 2 people working 7 days a week from 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. at the information desk. [More…]
If the Australian Government Publishing Service wants to man the bookshop and use the Parliament as a place to disseminate information and literature I approve of that and want to promote it. [More…]
It is prompted by the Opposition’s sudden and intense interest in the State of Tasmania and the announcement on this morning’s news broadcast that the Premier of Queensland is about to visit Tasmania. [More…]
Does the Leader of the Government know whether Mr Bjelke-Petersen is being dispatched to Tasmania in his role as political hit man for Messrs Anthony and Fraser to liquidate the Liberal candidate for Bass, who does not reside in the electorate of Bass, or whether he is going down to explain to the people of Tasmania why he demanded on 2 occasions, both before and after Christmas, that Japan purchase Queensland beef instead of Tasmanian beef? [More…]
Finally, will the Leader of the Government give an assurance that under no circumstances will the Australian Labor Government tolerate that sort of discrimination against Tasmanian exports, which has been demanded on 2 occasions by the Premier of Queensland, tacitly supported by the Leader of the Oppposition, Mr [More…]
-I was unaware that another company in Tasmania was in difficulties. [More…]
I would have thought that Senator Townley, as a man who has the interests of that beautiful State very close to his heart, would have approached me and informed me of the difficulties facing Cadbury Schweppes Pty Ltd. Now that I have become apprised of that company’s difficulties I will certainly give them my close attention. [More…]
This Government has instanced on several occasions its particularly close interest in the problems of Tasmania. [More…]
-Can the Minister for the Media say whether the Australian Film Development Corporation’s assessments of the film ‘The Man from Hong Kong’ recommended against the making of that film while, at the same time, ‘The Outcasts of Fullgarah’ received excellent assessments as to its being filmed? [More…]
If this is so, will the Minister make inquiries as to why the Board of the Australian Film Development Corporation overrode the recommendation and proceeded with the filming of ‘The Man from Hong Kong’ rather than with ‘The Outcasts of Fullgarah’? [More…]
As far as the assessments of the 2 scripts are concerned, I certainly would not know whether the assessors recommended against ‘The Man from Hong Kong’ and for ‘The Outcasts of Fullgarah’. [More…]
However, I know that the film ‘The Man from Hong Kong’ has been made. [More…]
I shall ask the Chairman of the Corporation to call an early meeting to discuss the matters which have been ventilated by the Opposition in the Parliament this week. [More…]
It is just a matter of whether we consider that a man who has given very long service, as is required under this provision, ought to be entitled to some benefit. [More…]
This is often required at very short notice and under the present system the First Parliamentary Counsel is usually able to make available the services of the draftsman responsible for the Bill itself. [More…]
The obvious advantage of that is that he is the man who is most familiar with the philosophy, intent and detail of the particular Bill and he is able to deal with the matter quickly. [More…]
Moreover, with the consent of the member concerned the draftsman may be able to assist in reaching a form of amendment which may be acceptable to the Government, thereby expediting the whole process. [More…]
The rates at present are as follows: For Class A ports, $1.50 per man hour; for Class B ports, $ 1.75 per man hour; for Class C ports, $ 1.20 per man hour. [More…]
Mr Street, the Opposition’s spokesman on labour and industrial matters in the other place, indicated in the debate in the other place that idle time was recently running at the rate of 10 000 man days per week at a cost of approximately $28 per man. [More…]
Mr Street passed on to the Parliament and to the public his information, which was not subsequently challenged- it certainly is the information which he believes to be true- that approximately a fortnight ago, the week before last, idle time was running at approximately 14 000 man days per week, costing approximately $420,000 per week. [More…]
The fact is that today a man operating any form of lifting appliance has to be alert and his reflexes have to be above average. [More…]
I think Senator Greenwood would agree with me that many ship owners would not care two hoots if a worker on the waterfront sustained a crushed foot or lost a few fingers, but they would be concerned if the fork lift operator caused production delays or damaged equipment. [More…]
Many of them worked in Lisbon and other places prior to coming to Australia; it is a way of life. [More…]
When we finally come down to the nitty gritty, we have to consider the man who has to operate a locomotive on the waterfront and the people who have to go into the mines and the pits to produce coal. [More…]
This Bill asks the Parliament to impose a tax on the employers of waterside workers to the extent of $2.50 per man hour of waterside labour employees. [More…]
If legal authorisation is given to lift the limit to $2.50, it is expected that a regulation will be put through immediately to increase the charge per man hour of employment on the waterfront to $2.20 per hour. [More…]
He referred to undisciplined behaviour, unauthorised stoppages and a loss of 754 347 man hours which was 3.6 times the loss for the previous year. [More…]
The loss represented 4 per cent of the total man hours worked by waterside workers. [More…]
These resulted in a total loss of 310 988 man hours, or 4 1. [More…]
However, in the short period between 6 May 1974, when it came into operation, and the end of June, there were 255 unauthorised stoppages which resulted in a total loss of 90 846 man hours. [More…]
If we look at page 55 and the following pages in the report, under the heading ‘Permanent Employment’ we see a situation of which you, Mr Acting Deputy President, and I as fellow legislators, ought to be downright ashamed, even as members of the Opposition. [More…]
The author of the report points out that in one company 5000 man hour days were lost through men being idle. [More…]
Men who were on the payroll were doing nothing, but on another section of the wharf a stevedore wanted 5000 man hours and no labour was available. [More…]
In one particular week at Melbourne, one employer had surplus labour ranging from 435 to 716 men on each of the normal working days- a total of 2954 man days which cost the Authority $50,908 for idle time reimbursement. [More…]
This meant that, in that week alone, some $32,000 was paid in wages for 1877 wasted man days of ‘locked-up’ idle time . [More…]
At Port Adelaide, because of an inter-union dispute, the labour force of one employer was idle on pay for the last 10 weeks of the year, incurring a wastage of some 2884 man days of employment at cost of over $68,000. [More…]
Under great compulsion, as a practical man, I shall support the amendments which will be proposed by the Opposition. [More…]
What we seem to be considering in the exact alterations to the charges per man hour is whether we will support the already established statutory arrangements. [More…]
I want to say a brief word about the personnel of the Interim Committee on the National Estatepeople such as Mr David Yencken, a man who as interim chairman has shown himself to be a person of great wisdom, experience and enthusiasm in trying to see that future generations of Australians enjoy the heritage which only a few years ago was being swept away by our obsession with growth in terms of growth of the economy, growth of cities and so on; and Judith Wright, who for many years was once a voice crying in the wilderness but who is now a voice of significance in the community on this issue because of this legislation and because ofthe establishment of the Interim Committee. [More…]
I can assure Senator Bonner that the Commission will not be limited to that period of our history which began when the white man came to Australia. [More…]
I would appreciate the indulgence of the Senate and particularly of Government members because I am giving great credit to the man who has held this portfolio for some time. [More…]
I believe that many Aborigines throughout Australia will be conscious of the loss of a very fine Minister from this portfolio, a Minister who has done a remarkable job for the Aboriginal people. [More…]
Senator Poyser should be quiet for a moment while I am giving some credit to a man who has done a great job for the Aboriginal people of this nation. [More…]
I think I must be the most shifted man in the Ministry. [More…]
I regret that honourable senators do not know of the cooperation there has been between Senator Bonner and me on the many occasions on which he has come to me representing Aborigines, particularly in Queensland. [More…]
Certainly its President, Mr Le Page, is a man with whom I have had a great many negotiations. [More…]
I think that this is something like the action of a man who is being rescued from the surf raining blows on the lifesaver and blaming him because he nearly drowned. [More…]
That was the view of Sir James Vernon, the most experienced man in the management of large business undertakings. [More…]
He has the churlish impertinence to think that he can get a group of judges who will man this court and be as obedient to him in administering justice as the Cavanaghs, the Camerons and the Cairnses, but judges have an independence more durable than that. [More…]
This always mystifies me; I cannot imagine why a man, having been promoted to the oasis of a judicial appointment, should care very much whether he has a large oasis or a small oasis. [More…]
But the human ego appears to be such that people will fight for things such as that. [More…]
It is like the question: Why is a man faithful to his wife? [More…]
It is uninhabited except by the ghosts of Aborigines and islanders who lived and died there- victims of the white man’s greed. [More…]
Yes, many, many, did die through insufficient rations, your exotic diseases, heartache and the cold- that unforgettable cold that I knew and suffered as a little boy on Ukerebagh Island. [More…]
But equally as many people lived, and I stand here this evening, Australia, as your ghost, your conscience, your demand to right what was wrong on Ukerebagh Island 53 years ago. [More…]
I am not concerned with what the white man’s value of Ukerebagh Island is. [More…]
What I am concerned with is that there is a group of the descendants of those people who many years ago were forced to go to live on Ukerebagh Island, because of the white man’s greed, and who died there. [More…]
In the Tweed area there are many koala bears but unfortunately, again because of the white man’s greed, these animals are dying out fast. [More…]
They want to preserve this area for the animal life that is fast dying out, again because of the white man’s greed in developing this area and making the place look like a desert. [More…]
I am sure that very shortly they intend to develop Ukerebagh Island, again for the greed of the white man in that area. [More…]
It was used as an area into which to herd Aborigines and Islanders many years ago and there they did die of malnutrition and diseases they caught from the white man. [More…]
The so-called Aboriginal problem is a white man’s problem and it is a problem that faces every political party in this country today, regardless of who is in Government and who is in Opposition. [More…]
There are documents associated with Weipa in Queensland that have never been seen since the dirty deal was made with the mining companies many years ago. [More…]
Whether the Aboriginal people were forced on to the island area as a result of the machinations of the white man in past years or whether they had tribal associations with it, it is their land and there is a responsibility on the Australian Government to negotiate, to see that this development project is stopped and to see that the black people in that area get their rights in accordance with the traditions of their tribal customs. [More…]
I would also like to know whether Colonel Newman asked the Minister or the Department to expedite his resignation. [More…]
The gist of what I am saying is that we should know whether the claim of resignation was only a political stunt to set up the Colonel as a man of principle who resigned because of the views he held. [More…]
-Following the question that I was asked yesterday- I think by Senator Drake-Brockman- I spoke to the Attorney-General about the apparent delay in establishing the tribunal that we are talking about. [More…]
I can assure honourable senators that the judge is a man of such repute that I am sure he would be acceptable to all sides of politics. [More…]
Here we have in the person of Mr Lynch a publicity hunter, a king-maker, a man who will say things, careless of the truth, in order to get his name in the newspapers and his face on the television sets for purposes inside the Liberal Party best known to members of the Liberal Party. [More…]
The only thing that matters is that he is a reputable man, outside of the main stream, perhaps, of international finance, but as Dr Cairns pointed out in his statement in the other place, there is nothing odd about that. [More…]
Basically, he has been promoted because his chief role seems to be that of the Prime Minister’s hatchet man to carry out the execution of Sir Frederick Wheeler, one of Australia’s most distinguished public servants. [More…]
We now have an admission, as I said before, that Senator James McClelland is using this exercise to indulge, as the hatchet man for the Prime Minister, in trying to savage and destroy Sir Frederick Wheeler. [More…]
What about his denials of a man called O’Neill being chained in the trenches in Vietnam? [More…]
I should like to ask the question- and I hope that Government speakers will be able to inform the Senate- why a Mr Larkin should write a memo to the Head of the Department of Minerals and Energy about his own permanent head? [More…]
After all, the Secretary is the head of the Treasury and the matter did involve many thousands of dollars. [More…]
Why should Senator James McClelland table the memo and then make the statement that the Head of the Treasury had gone behind the Prime Minister’s back in investigating this man? [More…]
I know, as all honourable senators know, that the Leader of the Government is a man who generally does his homework. [More…]
Generally he gives a pretty good answer to the questions he is asked, and no matter how many times he is asked a question he gives an answer and explains the situation. [More…]
It seems that the Opposition in a sense has been the victim of a self-promotion exercise by one of its members, that synthetic man, that habitual headline snatcher, the honourable member for Flinders, who has been building up his image, no doubt in anticipation of the next Liberal Party blood bath. [More…]
Indeed, one of those letters is now claimed to be true by the man to whom it was addressed. [More…]
It states that a loan of $4,000m was to be raised with a one per cent commission, that the man concerned was dealing with a Mr MacDonald who is the purported signatory of the second letter and Dr Ako who is the addressee of the first letter, has also given verification. [More…]
The Government says: ‘We appointed one man, Mr Khemlani, but we did not give him any authority; we just gave him a letter of accreditation. [More…]
We find that one section of the industry has had access to the liquid milk market, which is a reasonably lucrative market, and the other section has had access only to the manufacturing section. [More…]
Since he took up his portfolio he has done a magnificent job, despite what our political opponents and many conservative farmers outside have said. [More…]
At least the dairy farmers, the beef farmers, the wheat farmers and the other farmers who have had the honour to sit down and discuss matters with the Minister have all gone away agreeing that he is a man who will sit and discuss matters with them and that he is one of the best Ministers, if not the best Minister, in charge of primary industry that this country has ever seen. [More…]
I think it is known throughout the Commonwealth that there are very stringent powers, including the ultimate power of taking away a man’s livelihood, which supreme courts can exercise over barristers and solicitors. [More…]
Who protects him against the man who stamps on all opposition- the juggernaut of the Government? [More…]
The Treasury is vulnerable and it is vulnerable to the strongest man in the entire Government. [More…]
Does not the Senate think it serious that a Minister was demoted for making a communication to a man who lives in Melbourne, Australia. [More…]
How many more people have taken other parallel actions to put down a conversation 5 months old, a conversation which is so damaging to the Secretary of the Department of the Treasury? [More…]
It is interesting to note that in the course of our parliamentary lives our courses on many occasions were parallel. [More…]
That was the sort of thing which characterised the man in everything he did. [More…]
He was a man of absolute integrity and I am sure we all acknowledge that point. [More…]
We also were fellow members of the Joint Standing Committee on the Australian Capital Territory and he became Chairman of it. [More…]
He was a man of genuine friendliness and the members of the National Country Party in this place regret his passing. [More…]
His many friends on all sides of politics bear testimony to the high regard in which he was held. [More…]
Firstly, I was privileged to be made deputy to Senator Bert Milliner when he became chairman of the Joint Committee on the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
I believe that the words ‘friend ‘, ‘friendship’ and courtesy ‘ sum up the character of the man. [More…]
He never let the fact that he was on another side interfere with his splendid feeling towards his fellow man. [More…]
For it is upon the very question of proper parliamentary conduct that the one authentic event in a week of squalid intrigue turned- not the pseudo events of the media but the one definite event, tremendous in the life of a Party, of a nation, supremely tragic in the life of a man. [More…]
The fault was grievous, but it lies not in his integrity or reputation as a man of honour. [More…]
I think that the normal man in the street would regard that as being a loan of some months’ duration. [More…]
I find that an extraordinary about-face by a man who has been encouraging the Federal Government in its centralistic legislation. [More…]
They were Mr Bryant; Mr Clyde Cameron; Mr Connor, one of the men now claiming privilege; Mr Crean, the new Deputy Prime Minister pro tern; Mr Daly, the great parliamentarian down there and the man who runs the Parliament; Dr Everingham; Dr Patterson: and one E. G. Whitlam, currently Prime Minister. [More…]
This is a learned document prepared by a man who held the office of Attorney-General of this country assisted by a man who was Solicitor-General, and their interpretation of the law as it stands in the light - [More…]
Senator Greenwood, I suggest not quite as honestly as one would have expected from a man who proposes to be a Simon Pure, referred to a previous case when the Senate Select Committee on National Service in the Defence Force, which was comprised solely of the Labor Party members, invited various officers of the armed Services to appear before the Senate. [More…]
Now, a witness may be a relatively junior man in the service and yet have come into possession of secret information of great importance, say a defence secret, in respect of which a claim for privilege certainly would be allowed if it were made. [More…]
We have had references coming from the various journals and the members of the Opposition to an assorted group, including a dentist who also is the president of a football club; a Pakistani who apparently lives and transacts business in a basement; a man who it appears changed his name and claims to have been a member of the secret service of one or more countries; a person who has been described by the Premier of South Australia as a certified lunatic; another gentleman with a Hungarian name who also has been certified, but this time by Sir John Bunting of whose ecclesiastical status I was hitherto unaware, as a good Christian, and the Saudi Arabian authorities were informed accordingly; a number of knights of the realm; and Mr Phillip Lynch. [More…]
The Standing Orders of the Senate, which were designed many years ago, really were not used in the examination of Sir Robert Gibson in 1931.I think it is fair to say they are not up to date or altogether satisfactory. [More…]
I put to the Senate- and I am always open to argument and to persuasion being the reasonable man I am- that these rules may not be the perfect answer. [More…]
I have given this matter the most careful thought but 1 cannot believe that any honest man could advise the GovernorGeneral to approve of that minute if he knew that the borrowings were for 20 years and were to meet the long term energy purposes of the Government. [More…]
I do not believe an honest man could do it. [More…]
They are quoted from page 7 of a publication entitled Old Fitz’s Unparliamentary Handbook and they are credited to Mr Katter, that man of many parts and many parties, when he was criticising the present Government in a speech in the other place. [More…]
There was a photograph of this fine stamp of a man jogging along the sand. [More…]
That is an authoritative document and we all know of the authoritative nature of the man who was the first member of that committee. [More…]
This is a breach of this man’s legal rights and privileges and Senator Hall should not be allowed to pursue this matter further merely because he has not got the answers that he wanted. [More…]
A Commonwealth employee, Mr Bill Ingliss, confirms this and says that, entirely on his own volition, he entered the copying room and suggested to the man there (Mr O’Brien) that he might agree to allow a brief job to be done. [More…]
I will play second fiddle to no man. [More…]
It will take a bigger man than Senator Carrick to dictate my attitude. [More…]
She made many very constructive contributions to the determinations of the Senate on these matters. [More…]
He was very favourably known; a man who had suffered great hardship as a result of serving this country. [More…]
This Parliament almost did the gravest injustice done to any person ever to sit in it when it allowed a situation under our pension scheme whereby, although she was an equal member of this chamber, she was not able to participate in the pension scheme in relation to the husband she loved and cared for for so many years. [More…]
I can recall Dame Ivy and me discussing at great length and speaking in this Parliament about the terrible discrimination which was exhibited against a woman member of this chamber. [More…]
He is a man whom everybody on both sides of the Parliament respects and admires. [More…]
If there is any slight to Senator Bonner as the only Aboriginal member of this Parliament, I think it is brought about by the Opposition which does not recognise the significance of the individual because the Opposition has appointed a legal man to represent Aboriginal people. [More…]
That Committee of inquiry was headed by Sir Walter Scott who is one of Australia’s most distinguished management consultants and has had many years experience of the problems of both industry and government. [More…]
Of the 4 members of the committee no fewer than two were management consultants. [More…]
Mr Tune, the other management consultant, is a man of extensive experience in industry as an executive, as a consultant accountant and as a management consultant. [More…]
To give the lie to all this nonsense about why the Labor Party wants to move in and to give the lie to the thought that it wants to add more competition, Mr Crean, who is an honest man and who has paid a great penalty for his sin of honesty, said in his speech on the Bill that there is too much competition in the Australian insurance industry, and there ought not to be. [More…]
Lest anyone believes now that this is not a government bent on socialism, lest anyone believes that our Prime Minister is just a clever fellow surrounded by incompetents or radicals, I direct him to the Fabian lectures in which Mr Whitlam came out as the pacesetter, as the man urging with impatience that in the first term of government the Labor Party must bring about total radical, socialist change in Australia. [More…]
Larger and larger sums are being spent on advertisements of an extravagant sort that in many cases are an insult to people ‘s intelligence. [More…]
We know well that there is no reality or democracy in a situation in which one man has the money to put an introductory card into a letter box and his rival has the money to saturate television and radio with advertisements giving his name over and over again. [More…]
Some very strident remarks have been made about the fact that in a recent case in Sydney it was revealed that Mr Murdoch, a very well known Press man in Australia, the owner of newspapers not only in Australia but also overseas, had made a donation to the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
Where at the time of proposing a man is about to go to an unhealthy climate or a country where special hazards exist, a suitable extra premium will require to be charged. [More…]
-Can the Special Minister of State inform me whether the Government is taking any specific action to help meet the present problems being experienced by Australian industry producing bags and sacks of man made fibre? [More…]
If, after he returns from his overseas trip, he starts to interrupt when I am making a speech he will bring some trouble on himself, because the man whom he abused in this place not so many months ago put in his sheet of assets within the last fortnight and it was found that he did not have even as much as the honourable senator. [More…]
It is to be one man’s judgment; one man’s decision. [More…]
I suppose that a Treasurer in whom a nation and a government has confidence can be as trusted with that sort of power as any other individual or any group of individuals but it is a significant power to give to any one man. [More…]
If he is satisfied in the light of those facts that what is occurring would be contrary to the national interest, then he has the power to act, and one man’s judgment of what is or is not contrary to the national interest is as broad or as wide as one man ‘s power as to what is in the public interest. [More…]
So this immense power is given to one man. [More…]
You ought to know better than that, a man of your length of service in the Senate - [More…]
He has given some advice to the Government on sound financial management. [More…]
There is a sort of a forerunner of where to look for advertisements; you know, those funny advertisements of a man with a rabbit’s thing over his head and somebody else with a hole in his head. [More…]
For the rich man an increase of 4c in the price of a glass of beer is petty cash, but for the poor man it is outrageous. [More…]
For the rich man the increase in the price of his foodstuffs that will be brought about by the increased petrol excise will be hardly noticeable, but for the poor man it will be destructive of his standard of living. [More…]
The rich man may have to purchase a more economical car- perhaps the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) could trade in his petrol gulping Mercedes for a Mini- but for the poor man the increase in fares that will result from the increased petrol excise may mean that he will have to walk to work. [More…]
The Government claims that the new taxation system will benefit the average family man. [More…]
Let us take the example of a man earning $ 135 a week at present- the type of man who falls within the $100 to $150 a week of which the Treasurer talks- with a dependent wife and 2 children. [More…]
It was significant too that during the whole of the speech the Leader of the Opposition- this man who claims to be upholding the fortress of democracy in Australia- only one pressman at any one time was in the Press gallery, and that it attracted from his colleagues on that side of the House only one of the proverbial parliamentary ‘Hear hears’. [More…]
There are a number of other points such as those that are of very great interest, but that does give the lie to the amendment moved by the Leader of the Opposition (Senator Withers), the man who has led his team, his rabble or whatever it is, on the other side of the chamber to the point where they have rejected more than 20 Bills in this chamber over the last few months. [More…]
Now we have a situation where the unemployed include many of last year’s school leavers with more to come. [More…]
If I were a Labor Party man today I would be ashamed of myself. [More…]
I know the industry has to plan ahead, but how does the man in the street react if the Government agrees to endless price increases for one organisation. [More…]
I have always leaned towards a high tariff policy, but I know that there are some industries which on the one hand have resisted in the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission demands made by their employees and on the other hand have run to every government, both Labor and Liberal, and asked for the high walls of protection. [More…]
Possibly the Treasurer’s most noteworthy achievement in this Budget is the introduction of a radical new tax system which will give the average family man $5 a week extra in his pay packet and will allow him to keep much more ofthe wage increases that he will receive in the future. [More…]
Yet we will all agree that the late Sir Arthur Fadden as the handler of the nation’s finances was a giant of a man compared with the pygmies who are handling the Opposition’s financial strategy today; but he was unable to do anything about inflation. [More…]
Before a young man and his bride could go to the altar in marriage they had to give 14 guineas to the Treasury. [More…]
We here all know that man cannot live by bread alone. [More…]
Disraeli said: ‘Young man, it is better that they ask “Why did he not speak?” [More…]
The Postmaster-General (Senator Bishop), the man without a job, agreed to the increases. [More…]
Have honourable senators ever heard of a man on the minimum wage having house help, unless it is his own children? [More…]
If it were not for the blue collar worker and the man who does the hard work, the aristocracy could not exist. [More…]
whose spending power’s increased enormouslymany families like this would perhaps spend more on beer in a week than I ever might do at a restaurant. [More…]
I believe that it bears his personal stamp perhaps more than any other Budget which has been delivered in Australia for a very long time has borne the stamp of the man who introduced it. [More…]
The Treasurer has always been a man who is deeply concerned with the distribution of income and the concept of equality. [More…]
Regardless of all the other arguments, this major social reform, I trust, even under a different government will remain a permanent feature of Australian life. [More…]
Without going into a mass of details, what the taxation reforms really mean is that for the typical family- the single income family consisting of a man with a spouse and 2 dependants- there will be a reduction in tax paid of the order of $8 a week plus, it should be noted, the saving of contributions to medical insurance funds of an additional $3 to $4 a week, these contributions of course having been rendered unnecessary and obsolete by the introduction of Medibank. [More…]
So Mr Fraser frankly acknowledges that he has no more principles than the man he replaced. [More…]
We also see an increase in the excise on petrol, which will increase the price of that product to Australian industry and to the Australian user, whether he be a motorist or a man of commerce or industry, by anything from 6c to 10c a gallon. [More…]
These indirect costs have been estimated to represent about 100 man years of effort or at least another Sim. [More…]
That was written by Dr Tom Millar, a man who I think is respected throughout the whole of the Service area of Australia. [More…]
He has been engaged in discussion on this matter with others including the Chairman of the Chiefs of General Staff, Sir Victor Smith, who questioned the validity of his argument. [More…]
Committee who recommended, to a man, that the minimum viable size of the Army should be 38 000. [More…]
He is a man of first-class ability and of first-class integrity. [More…]
No man is beyond that. [More…]
-That is the primitive approach of a man who calls himself a lawyer. [More…]
Perhaps one of the most important aspects of this year’s Budget, particularly to the man and woman in the street, is the appropriation of $1.12m for consumer protection. [More…]
This is particularly appalling for the average working man who is faced with the cost of repair of one of these transmissions. [More…]
This man had in all innocence purchased a motor vehicle which he considered would give him a certain amount of service. [More…]
But honourable senators will recall that Brutus was an honourable man. [More…]
When I think of the Prime Minister I think of Disraeli’s statement that: ‘He is a self-made man who worships his creator’. [More…]
This self-made man who in his narcissism is looking at his own political navel in his worship of his own creator has forgotten the little people- the ordinary families. [More…]
So this Government is robbing the man on the average weekly wage. [More…]
I invite Government supporters to tell this man he is better off and that whereas sales tax revenue amounted to $695m a year when we left office 3 years ago it is now $ 1,425m. [More…]
One is Mr Crean, the honourable man. [More…]
I have no doubt that the good man handles his life-style better than Mr Whitlam ‘s presentation of that life-style. [More…]
After all, the simple fact is- and in saying this I do not for one moment suggest that no errors in economic management have been made by this Government- that in many countries with many different types of government we see the same picture. [More…]
It is a phenomenon which has defied solution by the experts just as in the 1930s there appeared to be no solution whatsoever to the problem of endemic unemployment until a man named John Maynard Keynes appeared on the scene and came up with what seemed to be so simple a solution that we wondered why it had not been discovered before. [More…]
I think it can be conceded that certain ingredients, certain manifestations of the disease, have been identified and that there is now pretty general agreement that at the present stage of our economic difficulties uncontrolled increases in wages are probably the most important ingredients in continuing inflation. [More…]
Let us face it: Inflation affects the little man more than it does anyone else. [More…]
It is the working man’s drink. [More…]
Beer is the working man ‘s drink. [More…]
The Government has hit directly at the working man. [More…]
Again the working man is the one who suffers most. [More…]
Members of the National Country Party are about to deny the right of appointment to the Senate to a man who is entitled to that appointment. [More…]
This afternoon a man who is entitled to appointment to the Senate will be denied his right of appointment. [More…]
It will be done in such an unjust and outrageous way that it will in the long run or even in the short run- perhaps in the few months ahead- be to the advantage of Dr Colston, who is the man who will be disadvantaged. [More…]
He is the man who the Liberal Party Executive in Queensland acknowledges should be the man appointed to the senate vacancy. [More…]
We find that small business is at a disadvantage in connection with management. [More…]
We find that small businesses are hit harder by inflation and that the retained profits are accumulated slowly, being insufficient to finance the faster rate of growth demanded by the market. [More…]
From a management point of view we find that there is an imbalance between functional skills in the small business sector and in the small company business also. [More…]
We find that there is an isolation of management, and indeed that small business management has not the opportunity and advantage of problem sharing with many managers who are operating in the big businesses. [More…]
This leads me to say that it is necessary that a Budget should make special provision for the small company and for the small business man. [More…]
It is a bad state of affairs when we arrive at a system whereby it is nigh an impossibility for the human bird to get his nest. [More…]
It is difficult for a person, unless he is blessed by legacy or the like, unless he is prepared to forgo all the advantages which this blessed country can give him and provided he is not prepared to exploit his fellow man, to earn sufficient to get his nest. [More…]
We need to take a humane outlook in this connection. [More…]
It has gradually become worse because, among other things, of the very poor lot of the man on the land. [More…]
If a man has not known adversity, if in his lifetime his country has not been subject to attack it is harder for him to understand that there are some things for which we must always struggle! [More…]
It is to the credit of this Government that the Jackson Committee was appointed this year to examine the problems associated with manufacturing industry and the private sector generally. [More…]
Honourable senators ought to know that Mr Jackson is a very important man in our economic life. [More…]
He is the Chairman of Directors of the Colonial Sugar Refining Co. Ltd and is a director of companies associated with mining in the Northern Territory. [More…]
In other article another man talks about illiteracy and he quotes some of the things that university students have written. [More…]
As was said by one Labor parliamentarian and as another parliamentarian said to me, he is the most vain, the most arrogant and the most conceited man in Australia. [More…]
No credit can be given to the Government- indeed it deserves to be condemned- for the increases since it came to office in the cost of living of the ordinary man and woman, the worker, that downtrodden citizen to whom it pays so much lip service. [More…]
Let us look at the percentage change in consumer prices in the last 12 months in a country such as West Germany. [More…]
The Government has created another problem by encouraging excessive wage demands, and that encouragement continued right through until last year when suddenly we found that even Mr Crean as Treasurer made the statement- I believe that Mr Cameron, who for so long had been encouraging excessive wage demands, also supports this statement- that perhaps there should be some restraint because one man’s pay increase could mean another man’s job. [More…]
I feel sad too for the man who has taken the position- Paddy Field- who in the twilight of his life had thrown away whatever principles he may have held in the political arena to accept this position. [More…]
The other point I wish to make is that the man who has been selected may not be electorally qualified to take his place in this chamber. [More…]
Even before Milliner had been dead 24 hours, Bob Sparkes, the president of the National Country Party in Queensland and the man who shares the real power in Queensland with Alan Callaghan, the head of BjelkePetersen’s progaganda machine, was announcing that the Queensland government would wait until after the South Australian elections before it decided from what party Milliner’s replacement would come. [More…]
Dr Mai Colston is a man of the highest personal and political calibre. [More…]
He is a man with great academic qualifications. [More…]
I say, therefore, that the Premier of Queensland is a disgraceful man. [More…]
If there is an imputation there, I say that the imputation I have made is well supported by the actions of the man himself. [More…]
It is an act on the part of a man who should know better than to put in such an odd nomination. [More…]
At least in relation to New South Wales the appointee was a man of some standing. [More…]
The appointee from Queensland is a man of no standing whatsoever. [More…]
How do we treat this man who comes to the Senate tomorrow to be sworn in? [More…]
How do honourable senators expect the Australian Labor Party to treat such a man and such a nomination in the corridors of this place? [More…]
I think it is also a disgrace to the memory of Senator Milliner that the Premier of Queensland could not, at least out of respect for Senator Milliner, appoint a man who is qualified, a man who went before the electorate, a man who missed out on becoming a senator in his own right by a mere handful of 4000 votes out of many hundreds of thousands of votes. [More…]
How can one avoid using terms against this man who engineered the character assassination of Dr Mai Colston and who has attempted to justify someone other than Dr Colston being appointed and who did everything possible to seek out some odd nomination that was brought before the Parliament. [More…]
I think any fairminded decent person who has any humanitarianism at all will deplore the action of producing a letter assassinating the character of a person in view of the fact that later it was divulged that the relevant file was missing. [More…]
As if enough damage had not been done to the man’s character by the production of a letter 13 years after the alleged happening, it was then said that the file was missing and the inference was that during his period of employment as a research officer in .the Police Department he had taken the file away. [More…]
Senator Keeffe raised questions which may or may not have substance and which if they do have substance I imagine he will air at some particular time in the future, concerning the qualifications of the man who is reported to have been the successor. [More…]
Senator Georges raised the question of how he and his colleagues will receive a man who, I think by interjection, some people called a scab. [More…]
Is it suggested that this distinguished woman is in some way disqualified from appointment merely because she happens to be married to a man who is himself a senior public servant? [More…]
I have noted also, as the honourable senator has put to me, that the Opposition’s spokesman on these matters jumped into the fray with some criticism of this appointment based on the proposition that it was a political appointment. [More…]
I suggest that the present Conference on Women and Politics needs no better demonstration of how the Australian Press and the Opposition are unwilling to judge a woman on her merits and how they seek to sensationalise the routine appointment of women to public jobs on the basis of totally irrelevant matters. [More…]
He was an infantry man in the service of the Sixth Division and was wounded in the initial battle of Bardia. [More…]
The Leader of the Government and the Minister for Police and Customs did not care to suggest the benefit which a man as wealthy as Senator Primmer has received from the use of superphosphate. [More…]
Throughout history in Australia governments have supplied benefits by way of subsidy- by way of financial supportfor research in many areas, for example, in the wheat industry. [More…]
I have heard no consumers, users or farmers in that particular area hold up their hands and say: ‘I am a man on $20,000-odd a year and I do not think the public ought to be supporting an allocation of funds to me. [More…]
I happen to be a reasonably wealthy man. ‘ [More…]
Supposedly this matter has been raised because the Leader of the Opposition in another place is said to be a wealthy man. [More…]
I do not have a persecution mania. [More…]
I think the Minister misled the House and I think he is a man of such repute that he should apologise. [More…]
I was dealing with the fact that the Commission that was set up by the Labor Party to advise the Government on takeovers said that the takeover by Amatil (Allied Manufacturing and Trading Industries Ltd) or one of its subsidiaries of this leg of Marrickville was not in the public interest. [More…]
We have heard debate in this place relating to the disclosure of contributions to political parties and we have heard Mr Daly ranting and raving in another place and the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) holding himself up as a pure white man and branding the donations which may have been given to the Opposition. [More…]
Will he also make inquiries as to whether it is not a fact that the former Minister, his predecessor, had Customs officers stationed outside one or more of the fertiliser producing factories checking every consignment that left those factories, checking the destination and quality of each such load as it left the manufacturer? [More…]
The number of man hours involved would be quite astronomical when one bears in mind the length of time which those officers took in setting up camp outside the factories to conduct this check. [More…]
If a man brings in a machine under by-law or if he gets the benefit of duty on his paper, those are matters of public record but they are not disclosed. [More…]
I refer all who read this to Conquest’s book (mentioned above) and also to Alexander Kaelas’ ‘East and West’ (published by Boreas Publishing Co., London, 1947), an Estonian Labour Party man’s experiences of Soviet control. [More…]
Dozens were deported or executed for complaining about wages, prices, theft, the inhuman Soviet labour code, the abolition of safetyprecautions, the reintroduction of female labour in the mines and the general brutality of the invaders towards the entire population. [More…]
I refer to Dr Cass’s policies, not to Dr Cass as a man, and I wish to make that perfectly clear. [More…]
I can well recall what happened one tremendous afternoon when the subject of the complexities of this matter came up and the Chairman of the committee, Mr Bayutti, issued an invitation that Senator Davidson immediately accepted that the committee should get the views of the shadow Minister for Immigration, Mr Michael Mackellar, and no less a person than Senator Young, who is the Opposition spokesman on media matters. [More…]
We know that there are many minefields to be faced in the broadcasting and radio world, particularly with respect to ethnic radio. [More…]
I can assure Senator Young that there has not been any one man band as far as Dr Cass is concerned. [More…]
This was done so that we would have a 3-tier system of broadcasting- national stations through the Australian Broadcasting Commission, commercial stations as we now know them, and a system of public broadcasting where, by and large, any man, woman or child who had a point of view to express which they felt was of benefit to the country could effectively do so. [More…]
Notwithstanding all those things, we had to await the report of the Senate Standing Committee on Education, Science and the Arts of which my colleague, Senator James McClelland, was the then chairman. [More…]
He would be an imprudent man who said too much about the future, because there are many and great problems. [More…]
Has the attention of the Minister for Labor and Immigration been drawn to a Press statement appearing in the Melbourne Sun of 3 September that Victoria lost 128 300 man weeks or 2500 man years of production time last year through industrial accidents? [More…]
I have received some statistics prepared by Mr David Fairbairn, a former Minister for National Development and a man who, on behalf of the Liberal-Country Party Government, was associated very closely with the development of the mining industry in Australia in the 1960s. [More…]
No fewer than 20 new towns were developed in Queensland, the Northern Territory, Western Australia and Tasmania as a result of that Government’s policies. [More…]
How many new projects have been commenced since 1972? [More…]
Finally, there was a deprecating cough from one of the senior public officials who said: ‘There is an old man down in the basement who apparently understands it’. [More…]
This article was written by a distinguished man from the London School of Economics. [More…]
He is not the man whom Senator Steele Hall quoted a month or so ago. [More…]
One sees the whole hypocrisy of the Vietnam situation when one looks at the gentleman who received a large subsidy- more than $50,000- for superphosphate- not superphosphorus, as it was called here earlier today. [More…]
He was a great believer in the Vietnam war and he believed that every young man in this country should be serving in it. [More…]
There are several quotes about what a great man is the present Leader of the Opposition. [More…]
This newspaper report contains remarks made by the manager of his property and states: [More…]
If one considers the case of an average wage earner on about $8,000 a year, with a dependent wife and 2 children, one of school age, that man will benefit on the face of the Budget by about $2 15 a year. [More…]
A man of the same marital status on $15,000 a year could say, perhaps, that he will save about $377 a year. [More…]
Of course, that is until he puts the microscope over the Budget and realises that if a man happens to enjoy a glass of beer and has 4 glasses of beer after work- I think that would be a reasonably average intake for a strong, hard-working man- they will cost him an additional 80c a week. [More…]
I agree with the honourable senator, but it is not possible to persuade the average working man in this country, or in fact a lot of other people, that smoking is a health hazard. [More…]
If a man buys a few bottles of beer to drink over the weekend that will cost him another 60c. [More…]
Honourable senators will note the comprehensive wisdom of the man oozing out on every occasion- due to wage claims and increases. [More…]
‘The cause of unemployment is, frankly, the excessive wage demands’, Mr Whitlam told the Young Labor Association’s conference. [More…]
Poor man! [More…]
As Senator Wright pointed out last night, some very good points are brought out and some factors are raised that many of us do not consider often enough. [More…]
It has also worried many of us that the man who keeps the car on the road, the man who repairs the truck and the man who repairs the large transport vehicles frequently gets $20 a week, as is the position in my State, and sometimes gets $30 a week less than the person who drives the vehicle, who has not had 5 years training and who is quite incapable of repairing it except in very minor cases when it breaks down. [More…]
The brainchild of a fearless Minister who bulldozed Medibank through against the overwhelming weight of public opinion, the man whom the Government lauded as the economic saviour of our nation, has arrived with all the impact of what one can only term a lead balloon. [More…]
I am sure many Australians will agree with me, when I categorically state that these ills which presently beset our economy have been created by this Government’s lavish and reckless spending. [More…]
Might I further emphasise that remark by stating that I was most disappointed with the Treasurer’s performance in the Budget. [More…]
1, like many Australians, have always held the Treasurer in the highest regard as a man of principle, a man above political compromise, a man of integrity and a man who would place the nation’s need above and beyond any party loyalty. [More…]
But much to my surprise and, I think, Australia’s disappointment, Mr Hayden chose the course of compromise and showed that he placed this above statesmanship. [More…]
Today it is becoming a very essential factor in our society that the wife has to work to provide those every day accepted luxuries which the working man could once enjoy under the stable government that we enjoyed for some 23 years. [More…]
Where are the increases in child endowment which are long overdue- those benefits which would ensure that the woman who wishes to stay at home and raise her family in the age old tradition is not disadvantaged. [More…]
I and many Australians rue the day that this ideology should ever manifest itself in this our beloved Australia. [More…]
How many average workers smoke? [More…]
The tax on beer, wines, spirits and cigarettes is estimated to take $600m from the taxpayer- the average worker- the man who has contributed through a long life of hard work to rear a family. [More…]
I rather see it as a man who has decided to jump across a chasm, runs forward, takes a flying leap and then half way across changes his mind and says: ‘No, it is too far, I should go back’. [More…]
I do not think there will be many mourners at the funeral. [More…]
May I put it this way: The original Bill was a Bill to authorise the increase of stevedoring tax on waterfront labour from the then existing limit of $1.50 or $1.60 to $2.50 per man hour. [More…]
That is to say, the substantive part of the Bill was designed to increase the charge from $1.50 per man hour of waterfront labour employed to $2.50 an hour. [More…]
I note that when the Bill was before the Senate earlier this year it proposed to increase the charges levied on the employers of waterside labour in the case of regular and permanent ports- A class ports- from $1.50 per man hour, which is the existing rate, to $2.50 per man hour, in the case of B class ports from $1.75 per man hour to $3.50 per man hour; and in the case of C class ports from $1.20 to $2.50. [More…]
The Government’s proposition in June was to increase the tax from $2.50 to $4 per man hour in one grade, from $3.50 to $5 per man hour in another grade, and from $1.75 to $2.50 in another grade, but it now proposes to increase that last figure I mentioned to $3. [More…]
That charge in relation to a waterside worker in the second grade, where a charge of up to $5 per man hour is attracted to his employer, on the 33 hours a week worked last year would be the equivalent of a tax of $ 1 65 per man per week on the waterfront. [More…]
I went along with the Bill in June, expressing only my opposition but not putting the matter to a vote, but when the Government gets to the stage of taxing waterfront labour in the four or five Tasmanian ports at rates ranging from $4 to $5 per man hour and we realise that the money goes into the cost of Tasmanian exports and imports, I am bound, unless I am sent here to misrepresent Tasmanian exporters and importers, to cast my vote against this Bill. [More…]
In Tasmania its effect can be illustrated by reference to the apple industry. [More…]
This impost will be the annihilation of the remaining half of the apple industry of which we are so proud in southern Tasmania. [More…]
The increase is from 5c per man hour to $5 per man hour. [More…]
Taking the official statement of the performance of this industry from the annual report of the Stevedoring Industry Authority, the government authority, up until June 1974- there is not a later report- it can be seen that the average working hours per week were 33 hours. [More…]
I know that whatever the information is, the charge is sufficiently huge on the industry- even on the charges that we authorised in June, when we authorised a charge of $3.50 per man hour, which is now to go to $5.00- to indicate to me that it is a completely unjustifiable charge and exaction to be imposed on the trade. [More…]
This first Bill with which the Senate is dealing will increase duties on beer, potable spirits and manufactured tobacco products. [More…]
It is difficult for anyone in this community to rely on the Prime Minister or on this Government which says to people, on the one hand, that it stands for a lesser impact of taxation on the working man and that those who are able to pay should pay. [More…]
That is a criterion which influenced many people to think that the Labor Party means what it says. [More…]
Now we find that whether one is a poor man, a pensioner or an ordinary working man who at the end of the day seeks to have the benefit of a glass of beer, as many Australians do, or whether one is a person on a fixed income, which is rapidly being depreciated in these times of inflation - [More…]
Whilst he proclaims to be a good Labor man he is nothing but a man who is hoodwinking the public. [More…]
I heard members of the Labor Party castigate the former Government and say that indirect taxation was an unfair impost on the working man. [More…]
and to the man in the street- not learned in the jargon of economicsthat is what inflation means: it costs him more for everythingand that is precisely the result this Budget will inflict. [More…]
This article reveals the great minds of the people who write the words of wisdom that are read each day in so many houses throughout Australia. [More…]
The article is headed: ‘How Your MP Beats The Tax Man ‘, and it is written by a Mr Jack Allsopp who I presume at some stage graces our Press gallery in this chamber. [More…]
I am sure that the very man who wrote this article has taken advantage at some time of the meals at reduced prices available to him in the nonmember’s dining room at Parliament House. [More…]
I have to justify the spending of that $37 to my tax man. [More…]
I have met Mr Carmichael and I believe that within his lights he is a sincere man with whom I am in profound disagreement. [More…]
But I will not lend myself to any attack on his or any other man’s political philosophy. [More…]
I think he is the man who writes under the name Cassandra. [More…]
I can recall the then Senator Murphy- a distinguished legal man and Queen’s Council- as Leader of the Opposition having some amendments to the postal regulations thrown out. [More…]
The man is part of his environment. [More…]
The members of the Committee and indeed the people of Australia, in my belief, owe a debt of gratitude to and should congratulate the Chairman of the Committee, the Honourable J. M. Riordan, for his handling of a very difficult assignment, made all the more onerous because of his elevation to the Ministry during the meetings of the Committee. [More…]
1 man in the Australian Labor Party New South Wales Senate team, the Honourable James McClelland. [More…]
Can we believe this man? [More…]
lt all depends on one man’, said an aide. [More…]
I was asking whether we can believe this man Fraser when he says these things. [More…]
In them it was related that he had been in gaol for some 3 months, that no one was able to find out the charges against him, that Australian officials in Yugoslavia had not been able to contact him and, according to a spokesman in the Department of Foreign Affairs, there was nothing the Australian Government could do. [More…]
This man has been imprisoned on an unspecified charge and Australian officials have not been allowed to see him, and all this has happened in a country, Yugoslavia, with which the Australian Government claims to have close and friendly relations. [More…]
Will he say whether the Government has been able to get in touch with this man in Yugoslavia? [More…]
Surely this measure of taxation in these Bills is in no small way a betrayal of the trade unionist and the working man for these Bills are significantly placing beyond the reach of the trade unionist and the working man many of the goods which in his own judgment- and assuming, indeed, that he is an intelligent and well versed individual, a judgment he should be prepared and able to make- constitute his demand and consumption pattern. [More…]
So these measures are most definitely a disadvantage to the many Australian trade unionists and workers. [More…]
It cannot be sustained that although some 500 000 Australians allegedly will as a result of the Budget not be paying direct income tax- of course, ultimately the figure will be dependent upon the actual wages and salaries that are received- indeed those 500 000 people, if that is the number, will be unable to avail themselves of many of the things to which, with their own manner of selfdiscipline, they feel entitled to avail themselves. [More…]
In this circumstance I say again that these Bills impose a levy on many people that is basically unjustified. [More…]
I understand that he generally described that type of tax as a charge against the ordinary working man. [More…]
The Minister mentioned that a tax of some $360m is now being levied on those ordinary working men who drink or smoke or enjoy those normal pleasures which I have heard many members of the Minister’s Party attack previously. [More…]
and to the man in the street- not learned in the jargon of economicsthat is what inflation means: It costs him more for everything -and that is precisely the result this Budget will inflict. [More…]
Again, I say that it was on 1 9 August that the Government, apparently after due considerationconsideration by that man of great strength, as Senator Everett described the Minister for Minerals and Energy (Mr Connor)decided that this method of taxation was appropriate to this particular industry. [More…]
They lost a good man in Mr Allan Burdon, but no doubt that seat is only a temporary loss to the present State Labor Government. [More…]
The speech which Senator McLaren has just delivered to the Senate is outstanding for the fact that he has identified himself firstly, secondly, and lastly with the behaviour, policy and performance of the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) because he is obviously a kil-OM-etre man. [More…]
References in the Agreement to road systems and passenger and freight transportation as far as the Commonwealth are concerned raise many serious doubts and even some anxieties in my mind. [More…]
I have had enough experience with railway freight to know the inconvenience that many people have suffered simply because of a total disregard for the man who is paying, the customer. [More…]
What better man is there to lead such a union than the honourable member for Archerfield? [More…]
Then we have Senator Bonner- a coloured man. [More…]
Does anyone believe that the people of Queensland would vote for a man who, if elected to the Canberra Parliament, is pledged to vote in favour of homosexual marriages? [More…]
Does anyone think that the majority of the people of Queensland would vote for a man who, in the Canberra Parliament, would support homosexual copulation? [More…]
Does anyone think that the people of Queensland would vote for a man who has pledged his support for legalised incest? [More…]
Would they vote for a man who would support legislation enabling brother to marry brother or father to marry son? [More…]
Is that the type of man the people of Queensland want to represent them in the Federal Parliament? [More…]
I would say that many of the decisions of that Parliament are a reflection of those standards. [More…]
It has never been my experience previously- I doubt whether it has been the experience of any of the legal men in this Senate- to witness such a disgraceful performance on the part of a group of politicians and on the part of a premier who led those politicians. [More…]
To me Mr Bjelke-Petersen must be held responsible for having accepted such slim evidence against a man without hearing what that man had to say in his defence. [More…]
There are many fires in schools. [More…]
When Senator Martin comes into this place and endeavours to support such a man she must realise that the whole basis of her argument, no matter how well expressed, is destroyed. [More…]
I was unaware that a man had been held in gaol incommunicado for a period of 3 months until the newspapers revealed the fact. [More…]
Subsequently, I was informed of what had been related to my informant from other people that the man was under a death sentence. [More…]
Most people probably saw Mr Gorton, a member in another place who currently is not a member of any Party, refer tonight to the man who thinks he is the alternative Prime Minister and to his inability to make up his mind whether he will take certain action in this Parliament. [More…]
I can assure Senator Withers that if he reads very closely the views of Malcolm Mackerras on this subject he will find that he is a man who has been what I would call almost the Diogenes of the electoral reform area. [More…]
Retracing my steps in relation to Senator Withers’ comments on court decisions, and speaking as a humble layman, I think that Senator Withers knows in his own heart that some of the decisions that were given in the 1930s on interpretation and that were applied into the 1950s do not hold water today. [More…]
I do not think that Senator Withers can gain political mileage by speaking in a sort of holy, deferential, genuflectual manner about the decisions of the High Court and the Supreme Courts. [More…]
All that nonsense about inequality might have had some validity in the old days when the world was wide, but these days we can put a man on the moon or cross the world in less than a day. [More…]
Electorally, the changes recommended in the Bills- one man one vote and the full parity that have been suggested by the Government- would not be in the best interests of the electoral conditions in this country. [More…]
I know that he believes in this supposed principle of one vote one value, but undoubtedly he is a man who would throw that principle out of the door in favour of the principle related to the number of people in an electorate at any one time. [More…]
Do we find any one Labor man honest in this matter of electoral reform? [More…]
I think the honourable senator who interrupted is one man who would stand up in this Parliament and say: ‘We believe in one vote, one value’. [More…]
I know that Senator Keeffe, as the present chairman of the Committee, is continuing to do excessive miles in the interests of that group. [More…]
I suppose any good racing man would say that the principle which ought to apply is that whoever gets first past the post should win. [More…]
But our dishonest political opponents thieve votes, thieve power and thieve office by manipulating the electors. [More…]
For the rest of the time it is in permanent recess because it fears the scrutiny of the public if it tries to bring forward some of its fascist legislation. [More…]
It is fascist in basis, it is fascist in planning and it is fascist in implementation in many areas. [More…]
Political corruption of this type brings in its wake many great tragedies for democracy in this country. [More…]
One of the greatest tragedies that we have seen as a result of this boundary distortion in Queensland is the placing in the Senate of a man who did not belong to the Labor Party to fill the position occupied by the late and revered Bert Milliner. [More…]
This power hungry man, this Premier who remains in power on a small percentage handful of the votes, is in the situation in which he is able to thumb his nose at authority, thumb his nose at convention, thumb his nose at the Constitution and thumb his nose at the law. [More…]
The Australian Labor Party has advanced an unassailable argument for a number of electoral reforms in this country not only in relation to boundaries but also in relation to many other areas. [More…]
He is the man whom they hope to see occupy the position of the present Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam). [More…]
He presented the greatest distortion that any man could present to this Parliament about what has happened in the Northern Territory. [More…]
We have heard examples, this afternoon of a man who gets no more than 20 per cent of the vote in an entire State- one out of five votes- and yet becomes the Premier of that State because he draws the map in such a way as to ensure he becomes the Premier. [More…]
We have a gutless Liberal Party in that State which will not stand up to that man and decide that his day has passed. [More…]
The same situation applied in Victoria with the gerrymandering of electorates many years ago when the Country Party was the Government of that State under a Country Party Premier. [More…]
This is the kind of gerrymander that the National Country Party imposes whenever it gets its claws into government. [More…]
He is cowed by a man who gets one vote out of five under the worst gerrymander that exists. [More…]
The gerrymander in Victoria is almost as bad as that in Queensland. [More…]
Under its system electoral boundaries should be drawn in such a manner that it would be able to attain government itself or as an appendage- the tail wagging the dog- in the federal sphere or in the State sphere by virtue of its balance of power. [More…]
We will not have the situation of the Country Party saying to the Prime Minister of the country, as it did on many occasions, that he cannot do a certain thing or it will withdraw its support. [More…]
Mr Anthony is the man who wants an election for his own gain so that he will once again become the Deputy Prime Minister of Australia. [More…]
He is not fit to lick McEwen ‘s boots as far as the statesmanship and decency of a member of this Parliament are concerned. [More…]
Coincidentally, in many of the seats held by Labor there would be tens of thousands of people who would come within this category. [More…]
Therefore, say 20 000 voters could elect Mr Daly in his seat, while 80 000 voters would be needed to elect Mr Cadman for the seat of Mitchell. [More…]
One vote in Mr Daly’s electorate would have the value of 4 votes in Mr Cadman ‘s electorate. [More…]
Does any Labor senator deny that Mr Daly, the man who is supposed to be introducing this reform, has enjoyed one vote two values over many years? [More…]
It is the Party that says it stands for the ordinary working man. [More…]
The argument about one man, one vote, must strike home to those honourable senators who believe in that principle but who come from the less populated States. [More…]
The argument put forward by Government speakers who have taken part in the debate to justify the principle of one man, one vote, is just a lot of nonsense. [More…]
I believe that the claim for one man, one voting value, is nonsense. [More…]
As far as that is concerned, if the principle of one man, one voting value, had been adopted when the setting up of the Commonwealth Government was first proposed, I make bold to say that this Australian Parliament would not exist today. [More…]
We accept that if a person lives in the city that person’s vote is worth half the value of the vote of a man who lives in an electorate like Wimmera. [More…]
The Opposition will oppose them to a man . [More…]
The fact is that the National Country Party, which is the tail wagging the dog in the coalition, has said, as Mr Anthony said before he even examined what the redistribution proposals were: ‘We are going to vote against them to a man’. [More…]
The fact is that because the Opposition coalition has won elections in the past by means of gerrymanders, as I have pointed out, the present situation suits it politically and in no way does it intend to treat the present proposals fairly. [More…]
I last wrote in respect of this man on 8 July 1975. [More…]
Was it only because this man happens to have been born in Croatia? [More…]
What about Mr Popovich another gentleman who was born in Croatia who sought a passport and in respect of whom I wrote to the Minister late in August? [More…]
I have not had an opportunity to talk to the Minister for a couple of days, but at this time I know several Greeks who have sought permanent domicile in Australia. [More…]
One man has a wife and child and he has been on the run for 2 years. [More…]
There are many methods of dealing with foreign governments in these matters, irrespective of who the individual involved may be. [More…]
Have any members of the Australian embassy in Belgrade sought to see that this man- an Australian citizen- at least has been given the care and protection that a prisoner in an Australian gaol would be entitled to get? [More…]
The latest information I have from the Prime Minister, when he was Acting Minister for Foreign Affairs, was that representations had been made for this young man to be deported back to Australia. [More…]
This man ought not to be imprisoned in South Africa. [More…]
-For conduct in South Africa but the punishment seems to be oppressive for the breach of which this young man was guilty. [More…]
Because he was a young man at the time of the offence- it was a drug pushing charge, quite a bad offence- we pleaded: ‘Look, he is a long way from home. [More…]
In regard to the question about a man being held by the South Vietnamese Government or the Provisional Revolutionary Government, I said that this was a situation which was quite different from the one about which we have been talking. [More…]
In the heat of war a man was captured and is still being held by the troops. [More…]
We are moving on a diplomatic basis to try to get this man released. [More…]
In regard to the second case, which is a peculiar case, it is just my judgment that it is better to leave the matter to diplomacy, to quietly step up our campaign to try to get this man out of gaol. [More…]
I preface my remarks by saying that I regard the Minister as an honest and honourable man. [More…]
Is the Minister, like all Australians, ashamed and contemptuous of the actions of the Prime Minister a man anxious to take the credit when things go right, but the first to run for cover when things go wrong? [More…]
Finally I ask: As an honest and honourable man, will not the Leader of the Government in the Senate do the honest and honourable thing and refuse to serve under a Prime Minister who, to use an expression well known to members of the Australian Labor Party, rats on his mates and is interested only in saving himself? [More…]
It is no more jackboot legislation on the workers than it is on Broken Hill Pty Co. Ltd or William Holyman and Sons Pty Ltd or the Union Steam Ship Co. or anybody else who locks out the trade. [More…]
I have left it in my patience for fully 10 years, ashamed of the spectacle where the Tasmanian Government pretends to the Tasmanian people that it is out to get regular shipping services and it goes cap in hand to the unions on every occasion of trouble saying: ‘Please exempt Tasmania from the impact of your strike’. [More…]
Forget it old man, it is the union that must prevail ‘. [More…]
I draw the attention of the Senate to words which were said 2 years and 1 1 months ago when the man who is now the Prime Minister of Australia (Mr Whitlam) was seeking office. [More…]
Mr Souter is a man who, on my understanding of the position and on my belief, has a good reputation in the honoured sense of those words. [More…]
We have taken the opportunity of appointing a man who I think is well qualified to be our ambassador to UNESCO. [More…]
He should, if he is a man of honour, make a declaration to the Parliament that he is as much to blame for those things that have occurred as are the Ministers who have been discharged. [More…]
Mr Lynch, that poor man’s Milton Friedman, has been engaging in an exercise of looking at the monthly deficit, multiplying that figure by 12 and concluding from that what the Budget deficit will be. [More…]
I have conducted a debate before large audiences with its putative Minister for Labor and Immigration, the man who will take my place, Mr Street. [More…]
While I am saying that, I would like to pay a tribute to Senator Bunton who, despite the hopes of Mr Lewis that he was putting a stooge into this place, has shown that he is a man of honour and a man of principle. [More…]
Notwithstanding all the rhetoric of Senator James McClelland or all the rhetoric of Senator Douglas McClelland, who have spoken in this debate, this Bill is in fact a benchmark to indicate the incapacity of the Government to manage the finances of this country. [More…]
I have nothing more to add at this stage except to say this: If it is my lot on some future occasion when Supply Bills of one nature or another come before this House I shall as a man of Parliament invite honourable senators wherever they are to support me to see that Parliament exerts a greater degree of control over the public money than is being exhibited at the present moment. [More…]
Now, crippled by incompetence and surrounded by the victims of his wrath, this man, this egotist, this well-known world traveller still insists on his divine right to rule. [More…]
It is a sorry state when desperation can drive a man to these lengths. [More…]
He is obviously a most indecisive man who, for the first time, has been through a test over the past few months since he was elected Leader of the Opposition. [More…]
Since then he has been staggering around like a blind man trying to make up his mind on what to do but uncertain of the troops who he has behind him and whether they will go to battle with him. [More…]
This is the nature of the man. [More…]
Before the election comes about he will be proven to be- I was going to say a big bag of wind but perhaps I should be more charitable- a man of complete indecision when the real crunch comes. [More…]
How then did the Minister, as he admits, come to be so grievously misinformed, and misinformed by a man he knew so well, a friend- Mr Souter- and misinformed by a company which had the Federal President of the Australian Labor Party, Mr Hawke, as a director and by in effect the Executive of the ACTU? [More…]
I believe that while the findings of the Commission remain unchallenged and while Mr Connor stands disclosed by his own conduct as a man who either lied to the Parliament or who engaged in such a pattern of misrepresentation and concealment that it amounts to the same thing, there is a need for justice to be done. [More…]
The only claim to fame of which I am aware of Senator Carrick is that he was the State Secretary of the Liberal Party of Australia in New South Wales and was so for many years. [More…]
That is the contribution that the man whom Senator Baume is allowing to advise him made to the Liberal Party during the period when he was the State Secretary. [More…]
-This division is not made in a very pleasant fashion, because every time that Senator Young walks across this floor he takes a dead man’s vote with him in his pocket. [More…]
Today this Opposition, which aspires to lead this country with the great principles about which it prates, won a vote in the Senate and was able to have its will to move an amendment to a loan Bill which is the lifeblood of many Australians. [More…]
The Bill was defeated in that fashion only by the vote of a dead man which the Opposition has, contrary to the convention of this country. [More…]
Of course, what this man of principle neglected to tell that conference was that yesterday he rang the newspaper proprietors around Australia and asked them to write what they wrote this morning. [More…]
We are forced into that position by the Leader of the Opposition in the House of Representatives (Mr Malcolm Fraser) who came to power as a man of principle over a man who was not regarded as being a man of principle. [More…]
Within a few months the man of principle, who said that this should not happen, was saying that this should happen in certain circumstances which he would decide. [More…]
We have witnessed the extraordinary situation of a man who purports to be the shadow Attorney-General of this country delivering an ex gratia attack on judges of the High Court because he does not like their decision. [More…]
We debated whether Australians by and large should have equal voting rights and whether the vote of a man in the city should have as much value as the vote of a man who lives in the country. [More…]
We had a debate in which it was revealed, and not denied, that the vote of a man living in a city electorate in Melbourne is worth half the value of the vote of a man living in a country electorate like Murray in the State of Victoria. [More…]
We drew attention to the fact that the problems of health, taxation, strikes and all the subjects that we debate in this hothouse in Canberra are as important to the man living in the city as they are to any other Australian, but the Liberal Party and the Country Party in this Senate rejected that legislation. [More…]
I have never used a dead man for anything. [More…]
Mr President, I was accused by Senator Poyser of using a dead man. [More…]
Senator Hall, the man who now stands up for this Government, said on 16 July, regarding the loans question which is now so very prominent in the minds of members of this Parliament and the people of this country: [More…]
He was a man who was traduced before the public through people in this Parlament and so on. [More…]
Just because a man might speak to a newspaper office, under no circumstances could it be said that he tells the editor of the newspaper what he is to write. [More…]
Senator Hall is the last man who should talk about that action. [More…]
As a matter of fact, he is a man who can be credited with having set out to do something and with having done it. [More…]
Because of the smell that has been associated with this effort to obtain loans from overseas, it would be thought that the Government would want the matter to be cleared up, especially as the Prime Minister is always huffing and puffing around Australia that he is a man of great principle. [More…]
My contention is that there are authorities to say that we have reached the stage mentioned by Mr Ellicott in his statement and by Senator Withers, who is another legal man, in his speech yesterday: The Senate cannot continue and the right thing is for the Government to go to the people. [More…]
I have never changed or flinched from my acceptance of the fact that when we were elected in 1974 those who were given the majority in the House of Representatives were given the mandate to govern and those who were given the numbers in this Senate with the power to qualify that power of judgment were given it for a purpose. [More…]
Why should one man in the House of Representatives who simply happens for the time being to be the Prime Minister of this country say that he shall not allow the people to pass judgment upon him and his performance? [More…]
This man, who is the Prime Minister today, denies the words of the policy and the course which he proposed in 1970. [More…]
The Parliament of Queensland has appointed to this Parliament a scandalous wretch, to replace a man who had been elected by the people of that State. [More…]
If we are removed, will Opposition members be able to convince the Amalgamated Metal Workers Union or the Miners Federation to restrain their wage demands? [More…]
Why should the Amalgamated Metal Workers Union or the Miners Federation restrain their wage demands if they know that they are living in a society in which anything goes, in which it is the ruthless who - [More…]
The other matter which I consider to be highly dangerous is the proposition that the Commission, consisting of 3 specially selected people- one of whom is a legal man- can make a declaration. [More…]
Mr Whitlam, as Prime Minister, in his enthusiasm and because of political necessity, appointed Mr Lance Barnard- not, I think, his deputy at that time but the Minister for Defence and therefore the senior Australian Labor Party man in Tasmania- to be the liaison officer or Minister between the Australian Government, the State Government and the Tasman Bridge Reconstruction Commission. [More…]
For those who do not know Hobart or who may think that we may be parochial in complaining about the problems this bridge has caused I shall refer to an independent survey into the Tasman Bridge disaster prepared by the Faculty of Education at the University of Tasmania. [More…]
I want to develop the argument first that the pharmaceutical industry throughout the world has been one of the major benefactors of mankind and possibly has done more for mankind in this century than any other group. [More…]
It is the pharmaceutical industry which has developed the drugs which have meant so much to mankind. [More…]
Sir Derrick Dunlop, a person of whom even Senator Grimes would know, an eminent man, a doyen - [More…]
I point out for Senator Devitt ‘s edification that this is not the gentleman to whom he refers. [More…]
I refer to a Scottish physician of great eminence, one of the doyens of physicians in the world, a man - [More…]
He is a man whose career spans the era before the explosive production of new drugs, a man who has seen the position from both sides. [More…]
If she is generous, she will recognise that the thalidomide disaster, disaster though it is, has to be set on the scale on the other side against the advances which the drug companies have led for the benefit of mankind. [More…]
Sir Derrick Dunlop pointed out that Professor Chain, the man who developed penicillin, had reviewed the 66 most valuable compounds introduced to medicine since the introduction of aspirin in 1899. [More…]
His analysis showed that only nine of those came from universities and research institutes and that the rest came from private pharmaceutical companies working for profit and giving in return great benefits for mankind. [More…]
Sir Ernst Chain, a man who helped to develop penicillin; a man from the Department of Biochemistry at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, London; a man who does not work for a drug company- was in Australia recently. [More…]
Is this Government using here the precedent it set in regard to other statutory corporations which it has set up to operate in the commercial area, namely, the ill-fated Petroleum and Minerals Authority which was never fully constituted, the directors of which, I think, in the end were simply 2 public servants and a trade union secretary with not one mining man amongst them? [More…]
Senator Wright described the Premier of Tasmania as a feeble person. [More…]
The Tasmanian Premier is a gentle man. [More…]
He is a humble man, something which Senator Reginald Wright could never understand. [More…]
The letter is purely a factual statement appealing to the representatives of Tasmania in the Senate and the House of Representatives- particularly Tasmanian Opposition members and senators- to put the interests of Tasmania, of which he is the Premier, first. [More…]
As yet, Australia has no one-man guided democracy. [More…]
This man who talks of a mandate has destroyed any mandate he may have been given by the people. [More…]
every time that Senator Young walks across the floor he takes a dead man’s vote with him in his pocket . [More…]
The Bill was defeated in that fashion only by the vote of a dead man which the Opposition has, contrary to the convention of this country. [More…]
Of course, honourable senators opposite do not like to hear any reference from our side to a member of Parliament by saying: ‘Well, you are using a dead man ‘s vote to get what you want’. [More…]
Connor is an honourable man and that his intentions were good. [More…]
He was the man who sat prior to the Executive Council minute and tried to work out the zays in which a promissory note could be designed zith Mr Khemlani in Canberra waiting for it. [More…]
The Prime Minister says conveniently: ‘I never met the man’. [More…]
have heard the previous speaker, Senator Carrick, adopt many postures but I feel that today his attitude was something like that of a felon in the dock, protesting too much and crying out to the people for clemency. [More…]
The result was that it cost the Australian taxpayers millions of dollars, and honourable senators opposite talk about inefficiency and mismanagement. [More…]
The Opposition talks about ministerial conduct but it was no surprise to any of us, although I had not been here long at the time, when the man the Opposition hounded out of its Party, Senator Gorton, revealed the full story about the VIP flight manifests which showed that Peter Howson and others had deliberately lied. [More…]
An argument has been advanced about whether the Senate has a mandate or the House of Representatives has a mandate. [More…]
Bob Askin, the Premier of New South Wales, was a hard man, but when Senator James Ormonde died the Premier replaced him with Jim McClelland who had always been a critic of Liberal Party policy. [More…]
Many Attorneys-General had gravitated to the High Court. [More…]
The man who controls ‘the West’ is small, dapper Fred Morony. [More…]
A man who knows those who know what’s good for W.A. [More…]
Surely the only thing which can defeat this man is a board, change in Melbourne, poor health from the pressures of the job, or a drop in sales. [More…]
It is interesting that the Opposition should hang its case on the statement issued by a man who retired from politics 10 years ago and whose linkage goes directly back to the last century when the same man is on record at the height of his intellectual powers in 1932 and under somewhat more objective circumstances as stating: [More…]
If I may respond to the interjection, Mr President, I think it possibly could be a matter that the people who conceive legislation in the Opposition ranks could well consider the possibility of making it mandatory for members of the Opposition to have secret votes in their party meetings since they seem to think it is a good idea in union elections. [More…]
This seems to me to be a fairly succinct description of what happened in the Liberal Party last week when a particular standover man stood over several Liberal senators who knew that what they were doing was wrong and who did not want to do it. [More…]
We find that the tax paid by Tasmania per capita for the 1972-73 taxation year- that is the most recent figure availablewas $234. [More…]
If we look at the distribution of federal revenue on a per capita basis we find that the State of Tasmania receives $240 per capita more than the national average. [More…]
Senator Rae would have us believe that as a representative of the State of Tasmania he is standing up in this Senate in an attempt to introduce a State-Federal financing policy- which will be, to the degree it is implemented, disastrous for the State of Tasmania. [More…]
I trust that the people of Tasmania are or will shortly be fully aware of what this man who claims to speak for them has done in this Senate. [More…]
That is the man who now presents himself as a man of honour, a man of truth, a man who above all insists upon a proper standard of conduct both inside and outside the Parliament, a man who has the audacity to present himself as an alternative Prime Minister. [More…]
Then, of course, we had the words from the then Senator Murphy in the debate in the Senate as he led in the debate for so many honourable senators who sit opposite and who decry the Senate ‘s power at this point of time. [More…]
After many divisions on different sections of the Bill, which the Opposition had opposed, the then Leader of the Opposition, Senator Murphy, the man who led honourable senators opposite, said in the Third Reading debate, as reported on page 2030 of Senate Hansard of 3 November 1970: [More…]
I must, just to pay due respect to the gentleman, refer very briefly to Senator Walsh’s comment on how that statement came to be made. [More…]
I was then very actively interested in what was happening in the Parliament, so I know a little- certainly I know as much as Senator Walsh does- about Sir Robert Menzies as a man and as a Prime Minister. [More…]
He is obviously his own man and has been in his political life and in all the time of his private life. [More…]
We have in this Parliament a man who was a high office bearer in the Labor Party in the days when the Labor Party was in Government in Queensland. [More…]
Never once did that man raise his voice then for the establishment of ordinances committees and all the other things that I could go on with. [More…]
Those of us on this side of the House and those people outside who have been reading articles in the newspapers and listening to interviews on the television for many months now know that the question has been: Will Mr Fraser decide that the Senate will refuse or defer Supply? [More…]
Many articles have been written about what a lonely man he is and what a difficult decision it was. [More…]
No one, I believe, imagined that the State Premiers would abuse the conventions as Mr Bjelke-Petersen has done and would do dishonour to the memory of an honourable, gentle and conscientious man by appointing a pathetic character to take his place. [More…]
Above all, they will be frightened by the arrogant grab for power by a man who has already assassinated one Prime Minister and removed a leader of his own Party in a very short time. [More…]
I think they will be frightened of a man who pontificates to the people, who gets up and says: Life is not meant to be easy. [More…]
We really believe that if the Opposition is opposed to them it should not just defer them, using the vote of a man who could not be here because he died. [More…]
I do so also because it is true that I am in politics because of the influence Sir Robert had on me as a young man. [More…]
This was because of his stand at a time of crisis like this when many of us were drawn to his banner, his purpose and his philosophy. [More…]
To most Australian people this country is a great deal more important than any single man, no matter how high his self-esteem and how high his vanity. [More…]
These are quotations from very eminent people, but because of the bind that the honourable senators opposite find themselves in they come in here with a very weak statement from Mr Menzies, who is now in his declining years- he is well up in years- and who is a man who has had all his faculties about him when he made the statement in 1932. [More…]
I want to quote now from a statement by the Right Honourable Sir Robert Menzies, who is a man for whom I have the greatest admiration, who is one of the greatest statesmen we have ever known in Australia and who is today one of the most competent gentlemen in the field of constitutional matters in Australia. [More…]
This will mean that in future a de facto wife who is living with a man on a bona fide domestic basis will qualify for wife’s pension or attract additional unemployment or sickness benefit without any regard to a qualifying period on the same basis as women who are legally married. [More…]
The Bill also contains a provision which will give specific authority for the exclusion of a woman living with a man on a bona fide domestic basis from entitlement to a widow’s pension. [More…]
From what the New Zealand Herald Financial Review says, not only big companies have shown interest because the corporation has on its books also a range of clients which runs right down to the man working alone in his garage who thinks he has come up with something that could make him money on the overseas market. [More…]
To gauge interest the Corporation sent out a questionnaire to 300 manufacturers. [More…]
Of course, it is significant also that prior to that decision having been made by this great man of principle, Mr Fraser, and prior to honourable senators opposite meeting and making their decision, the Liberal and Country Parties had in fact booked space on all the television and radio stations throughout Australia in the expectation that an election would be held between now and Christmas. [More…]
I can well recall how he endeavoured in 1951 to take away the fundamental rights of Australian citizens- he tried to establish the principle that a man was guilty and had to prove he was not guilty. [More…]
He was the man who said in 1954 that we had 3 years to prepare for war. [More…]
Is it also true that there is absolutely no evidence available to authorities in Australia, including the Department of Foreign Affairs, of any association by this man with any Croatian nationalist group of any description whatever? [More…]
Is not the action of the Yugoslav Government an apparent denial of human rights and a ruthless intimidation of a Yugoslav national minority by a calculated injustice to an Australian citizen? [More…]
He is now shown to be a man who has either lied to the Parliament or engaged in a pattern of misrepresentation and concealment which may be said to have amounted to the same thing. [More…]
Mr Connor had knowledge of many matters which ought to have put him on his guard. [More…]
The article in the Melbourne Herald was headed: ‘I had Hayden Budget leak- Former ALP man ‘. [More…]
Morever, he is a man in a position to assert and insist that the ALP government should assist the union movement, just as he has indicated recently that he is prepared to use the union movement to assist an ALP government. [More…]
I deplore the activities of the Opposition in raising this question as a matter of urgency when in fact the whole purpose of the exercise is not to defend what may be thought to be an innocent man but to try to involve somebody and to prove guilt there. [More…]
It is apparent that this motion is aimed essentially at the President of the Australian Council of Trade Unions, Mr Hawke, who is the one person outside the Government whom the Opposition most fears; fears because of his forthrightness; fears because of the manner in which he exposes some of the capitalistic deals that have been a disgrace to this country; fears because when, from the cover of privilege of Parliament, accusations are made against him he answers like an honest man in a ringing voice and says: ‘Repeat that outside and you will be sued ‘; and fears, fourthly, because he has a very good track record in defamation proceedings. [More…]
My entry into this debate is an attempt to clear the name of a man for whom I have had great respect foi many years. [More…]
In this instance a man in my State who has devoted himself honestly to the work of unions and who, in concert with others, is a director, of an enterprise finds that as a result of an inquiry he is the one who is picked out and is left by his other directors to take the full burden of whatever criticism is made, criticism which in actual fact might wreck the whole career of Mr Souter. [More…]
Mr Connor is a very intelligent man who knew, as was stated in the evidence, that this product was being offered to companies at $5 a barrel as early as January of this year. [More…]
No man could have obtained that view unless he had the approval of the Minister to such an undertaking. [More…]
One could talk oneself blue in the face but the man in the street would not have the faintest idea of what the meaning of this legislation is. [More…]
It is completely unsatisfactory for this man who has been messed about for a period of approximately 16 months to have no reasons given. [More…]
He is a man who has no criminal record whatsoever. [More…]
I need only remind him of the case of one Srecko Rover, who is perhaps the best known Croatian or man of Croatian origin in this country and who was treated in exactly the same way by Senator Greenwood ‘s Government under the aegis of Mr McMahon. [More…]
The task of determining whether a man will be in any peril for political reasons if he happens to be deported to Yugoslavia is a task of considerable administrative difficulty, but we certainly do not propose to be the victims of that sort of campaign. [More…]
If you go to Chicago will you give me an assurance that you are not going to attend any of those Croatian brotherhood meetings which bring out those blood curdling manifestos about what is going to happen when Marshal Tito passes on and about how they are going to get even with people. [More…]
If that man wanted to further his career as an aeronautical engineer by going to Chicago, we would be wrong in denying him permission to go overseas. [More…]
Restructuring the scale in this way has also made possible an increase in the value of concessional allowances for dependants thus achieving a highly desirable redistribution of the burden of taxation in favour of the family man. [More…]
The increases in the value of dependant allowances, together with the proposed general rebate of $540, will, in a great many cases, more than compensate for the effects of the increased rates of tax payable on certain parts of the taxable income. [More…]
I think it was the Denning Commission in England which stated that the best way of conducting a security organisation was to appoint at the head of the organisation a man whom you could trust and to ensure that you trusted him. [More…]
Mr Mcintosh is a reasonable man and I have no reason to believe that the recommendation which he has made, the finding which he has brought down, is anything other than reasonable. [More…]
I think that he is a man who has tried to do his best in certain areas. [More…]
I say with respect that Senator Cotton is a man whom I have always admired and in fact still admire. [More…]
If we are to have a contest of lawyers, I point out that another lawyer cited by Senator Cotton was a certain Mr Gruzman. [More…]
I can only assume that Senator Cotton thinks that the man one would hire to defend one on a murder charge is the man who is best qualified to construe the Constitution. [More…]
As any lawyer will tell the honourable senator, Mr Gruzman is noted more as counsel for the financial desperado Alexander Barton than for any performance in the field of constitutional law. [More…]
I have been similarly saddened at the progressive deterioration of another man for whom I have always had a great deal of respect, and that is Mr Ellicott. [More…]
He had been a leading barrister and a SolicitorGeneral of the Commonwealth and I had thought of him always as a man of temperate, moderate and sensible views. [More…]
I suggest that, among other things, it should read an excellent letter which appeared in this morning’s Sydney Morning Herald from Sir Norman Cowper, for whom I would suggest that any man in New South Wales could not have anything but the greatest respect. [More…]
He was the best known and most respected lawyer in New South Wales for many years as the head of one of our leading firms of solicitors. [More…]
He was a most active man. [More…]
He is a man who has taken a keen interest in public affairs. [More…]
He is not a man whom one would expect to be putting an argument in favour of the Government. [More…]
Party- to a company director, a company entrepreneur, a man involved in so many areas of business by advising him of the contents of the Budget in advance. [More…]
To bear out what I say one only has to refer again to what has been said by that man who changes his collar, changes his coat and changes his attitude so regularly and who misleads the Parliament- the same Mr Whitlam. [More…]
These are the words of the man who has changed his views for political purposes. [More…]
He has influenced a number of my friends on this matter and he is a man held in very high regard. [More…]
But Anthony is an honourable man and Liberal senators are honourable senators. [More…]
Let me remind the Senate again of the other remarks of Mr Whitlam, the then Leader of the Opposition and the man who now is proclaiming in the Parliament the necessity for continuing what he is pleased to call conventions, procedures and traditions. [More…]
I have been a labourer and a working man all my life. [More…]
I have a great concern for the 400 000 people who are unemployed because of the mismanagement of this Government. [More…]
It is like holding a gun at a man’s head. [More…]
A man leaves a trail of potato crisps all the way from London, through the Middle East to Sydney. [More…]
Cannot you get it across to Gough that Mr Kemlani, is a con man and on his own admission a deserter to the Japanese, like thousands of his countrymen in the last war, therefore a deserter from the British Forces. [More…]
That statement was made by a man who is a prominent businessman and who travels around the world a fair bit. [More…]
He is a totally devious man and he is no longer respected by the Australian people. [More…]
The man standing in the wings, of course, has the same failings and excesses as his current leader. [More…]
The Australian is being run at the moment by a very strange man who gets orders every day from Rupert Murdoch in New York. [More…]
This man is not the editor. [More…]
I cannot understand the cringing fear of the man who has raised the point of order. [More…]
It was only because one man in the Liberal Party who has since been expelled from the Party was able to bring forward information that the matter was cleaned up. [More…]
It would mean, furthermore, that many taxpayers in the middle income range would pay significantly less tax than they have paid previously. [More…]
It would mean particularly that the family man would benefit considerably from the tax concessions proposed. [More…]
Guest speaker, if you please- the man who devised it all in 1974, who supported Mr Bjelke-Petersen with his breaking of the convention regarding the replacement of a senator. [More…]
Mr Anthony is the man who again in 1975 provoked this course upon which the Liberal Party has allowed itself to embark. [More…]
He is the man who is desperately concerned about one particular issue, that is, that the electorates in the House of Representatives might be redistributed in accordance with the will of the Joint Sitting of this Parliament and with the recommendations of the electoral commissioners. [More…]
But is it the same man talking? [More…]
Is the Mr Fraser who said that, the man who sought desperately for reprehensible circumstances and then decided to allow himself to be pushed by Mr Anthony and his colleagues into this delay of the Budget? [More…]
Is it the one who replaced Mr Snedden because he was a man of principle and Mr Snedden was not? [More…]
Is it the man who said that the House or Representatives was the place where the party with a majority should be allowed to continue in government? [More…]
Or is it the man who in the last few weeks has sought every expedient to justify the actions which he has taken as distinct from those high sounding principles? [More…]
What does he mean when he says: ‘We want a style and manner of government that wins respect. [More…]
Is the Senate winning respect by the sort of comments that have been made here today by various speakers on the Opposition side as to how many lawyers everybody has endorsing their particular position? [More…]
We heard that cry of desperation from a man of principle who suddenly had to descend into the cave of the troglodytes, walk across hot coals or whatever might be necessary in order to try to win electoral power. [More…]
Yet, this man of principle, Mr Fraser, who protested so piously about people seeking assistance under the NEAT scheme, is reported in the Brisbane Courier-Mail of 79 October 1974, when addressing a fund-raising dinner for the Liberal Party, as advising his Party supporters as follows: [More…]
He has become known throughout Australia as a man who breaks promises, as a man who has encouraged his Party to plunge the nation into a situation in which we have unusually highalmost record high- unemployment. [More…]
Certainly, the Government has created inflation that has caused distress to many sections of our community. [More…]
1 am certain that the pensioners are not too happy about the grocery bills which they have to pay now and which increase month by month under the influence of this Government’s mismanagement. [More…]
This clearly indicates to me the inefficiency and mismanagement of the Minister for Administrative Services (Mr Daly). [More…]
We hear all the waffling in the world against a man like the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam)- a man of high purpose and vision- from Mr Fraser whose integrity was displayed in 1972. [More…]
That comes from the man who has put this poor divided Senate Opposition to the jump in order to find an argument to justify the Opposition’s rejection of the Appropriation Bills and in order to try to blackmail its way back into power. [More…]
Mr Hayden and Mr Whitlam have said that the primary test is that he is a man of integrity. [More…]
I remind honourable senators that it is on record from the Governor of the Reserve Bank, Mr Knight, who is a highly respected man, that members of the Reserve Bank would not receive Budget documents and would not necessarily be in receipt of Budget documents by virtue of their office. [More…]
Let us rest on this business that Mr Hawke is an honourable man. [More…]
We are talking of the President of the Federal Labor Party, who is a man of immense partisan interest and therefore of immense motivation in a partisan fashion, and good luck to him, in a cause which I oppose. [More…]
So the Labor senators who come from Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia and Queensland must go back home and say to the people in those States: ‘ We are coming back to tell you that we propose to emasculate the Senate. [More…]
We propose to take away your voice- the voice of Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia and Tasmania- in the Senate’. [More…]
He is a man obsessed with power. [More…]
He is a man who has said in his writings and speeches that he sees all power concentrated in one House, the House of Representatives. [More…]
A man who put the test upon Connor and Cairns and guillotined them will not put the same test upon himself. [More…]
I refer them to the House of Representatives Hansard at page 3600 where in reference to Mr Khemlani the Prime Minister stated: ‘Proper checks were made on the bona fides of the gentleman involved. ‘ [More…]
A little later in the debate, at page 3613, Mr Connor stated that Treasury inquiries revealed the man’s integrity. [More…]
There can be no doubt that over a long period this man worked on behalf of the present Government to seek to raise loans which, in July, the Government still defended as being in the national interest. [More…]
The fact of the matter is that, except when they have a charge of adrenalin injected into them by a mock issue fomented by that great man of a thousand faces, the Prime Minister, most honourable senators are ashamed of their Government. [More…]
I would say that in their heart of hearts many Government senators would be doubly ashamed of the failure of the Government to deal with the question of unemployment and to deal with the recommendations of the Commission of Inquiry into Poverty that have been before the Government for so long, and of the absolutely miserable failure of the Government to live up to its promises of 1972. [More…]
Earlier this year I raised in the Senate my concern at the allegations of a man who was a former Australian Security Intelligence Organisation agent whose name was Max Wechsler. [More…]
The Government ignored what this man said instead of attempting to answer the matter or, as might be suggested as an appropriate course, providing to me in confidence information which was related to the security of this country. [More…]
All that occurred was a rubbishing exercise in defaming the character and standing of this man. [More…]
The response of the Minister, Senator James McClelland, was directed in a manner of complete evasion and belittling of the informant by the ridiculing of his standing and therefore of his story. [More…]
It is a procedure whereby one rubbishes the man who tells the story. [More…]
One then seeks by development of humour and laughter to ridicule the man in question and therefore not answer his story but say: ‘Who could believe the story of a man like that?’ [More…]
What Senator James McClelland said in the course of his speech on 2 1 April was designed to suggest that this man was unbalanced. [More…]
He said that this man had postured an outlandish story. [More…]
It was said that he was an obviously neurotic, unbalanced young man. [More…]
The Minister finished up on a basis which was designed, I suppose, to be the king hit because I had not heard from this young man after he had related his story. [More…]
I sent to his office about three-quarters of an hour ago the information that I proposed to speak on the adjournment in regard to this man Wechsler. [More…]
But I am surprised that Senator Greenwood, a man of some standing in the community, should place his credibility in jeopardy by reliance on an individual whose history he has quoted to us in part, but certainly not in full. [More…]
It would take too long to read it all; but I will quote some extracts from this man’s own story. [More…]
Man from ASIO ‘ fined over firearm [More…]
A man who told police he was an undercover agent for ASIO was fined $200 on firearm charges in Melbourne Magistrate’s Court yesterday. [More…]
I repeat that this is the gentleman upon whom Senator Greenwood has relied. [More…]
This man has attempted to grab headlines and to excite the imagination of the people to believe that he was supplying information to ASIO. [More…]
The Minister did say on 2 1 April that this man was a casual informant. [More…]
My information is- and this comes from ASIO, if Senator Greenwood wants to know- that Mr Wechsler was a casual informant, paid casually and not taken seriously. [More…]
He was a man who, like many hundreds of people who give information to ASIO, was not believed without corroboration. [More…]
ASIO regard him as an unbalanced character, a man who was always claiming that his life was threatened, that his house had been burgled and who was not taken seriously in respect of the information that he gave to ASIO. [More…]
This situation may be the result of some work done by his public relations man. [More…]
Is it further a fact that the Department’s only response was merely a formal acknowledgment of receipt of the letters and that the Minister ordered the man to leave Australia this week? [More…]
What justification has the Minister for such a grossly inhumane action? [More…]
The article in question implies that this man Saysavath Vichidvongsa, a Laotian Colombo plan student, received only acknowledgments of his letters to my Department. [More…]
The Prime Minister is a man who repeatedly denies the truth, no doubt in a belief that if a lie is told often enough and repeated often enough, someone will believe it. [More…]
His attempt in this loans affair to subvert the Constitution shows the Prime Minister to be a man without principle. [More…]
I am informed that Mr Crawford is a much more interesting person than Senator Withers in his modest manner has let us know. [More…]
He is a man of many parts. [More…]
This statutory declaration, declared to be a truthful statement by the man who made it, indicates that there were other documents which Mr Connor did not table. [More…]
I suggest to the Senate that the man who has made this declaration has done so knowing that there are provisions of the law which render him liable to penalties if he has made the statement untruthfully. [More…]
At that stage Mr Khemlani was relied upon by the Government as a man who was conducting negotiations on its behalf. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite will recall that just the other day he rose in this sanctimonious, pious manner which has become his trade mark and accused me of the awful crime of defaming someone under privilege. [More…]
A man who was once an idolexPresident Nixon- a man whose every decision in relation to Vietnam Senator Greenwood applauded, a man who was very much of Senator Greenwood’s ilk because he went over to the far extreme of conservatism, even for a Republican, this man who has now been convicted of being one of the great criminal figures of American history, Senator Greenwood now uses in an attempt to besmirch our own Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam), a man against whom no wrongdoing has yet been established, despite the attempts of the Opposition to dig up dirt from the 4 corners of the world. [More…]
The Prime Minister of Australia is, in the view of this man who hates defamation, to be lumped in with one of the great political criminals of our time, ex-President Nixon. [More…]
Not only was it a disgraceful exhibition of a lack of knowledge of his Standing Orders but also it was an abdication of any of the principles that any legal man should hold dear. [More…]
The fact of the matter is that the more responsible, the more dignified, the more serious and honest members of the Opposition- I concede that they exist- were so shamed by their own performance when Mr Karidis was brought before the Senate that they were not game to repeat the dose with Mr Khemlani. [More…]
They sent their legal expert, Mr Ellicott, the man who has given such unfortunate advice to the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Malcolm Fraser) as to have got him into his present sorry plight, and another of their legal experts to examine everything that Khemlani had brought to this country. [More…]
They are documents which have come into existence over many months. [More…]
They are from the man whom the Government has made famous in Australia. [More…]
The man whom the Government sought to do this most extraordinary, bizarre and clearly wrong exercise as far as Australia was concerned, was Mr Khemlani. [More…]
The Government had constant dealings with this gentleman from November 1974 until September 1975. [More…]
Mr Khemlani was the man upon whom the Government was relying to get the money for it. [More…]
This man came to Australia as and when he liked and when the Government liked. [More…]
It is ridiculous to suggest that this man who had dealt with this Government over these months should have any qualms or concern about coming to Australia without a visa. [More…]
He has been using the telex machine from his office or from many other parts of the world in contacting Ministers, in particular, the former Minister for Minerals and Energy. [More…]
Senator Withers has come into the Senate this afternoon and has in his possession a very lengthy statutory declaration of something like 100 pages in which this man- this agent of the Government for months and months- sets out in great detail his story of this relationship that he has had with this Government. [More…]
There are over 100 of these documents here and, as Senator Withers has said, many of them are documents that have not been tabled by this Government. [More…]
We have this statutory declaration from a man whom the Government itself contacted to do its great job- this extraordinary and bizarre exercise, as it may be. [More…]
This is the man who has now brought into existence this affidavit and who has now backed it up with his 100 or more documents and who has taken very great care in doing so. [More…]
This man came and went to and from Australia for 10 months at the invitation of the Government. [More…]
It would be ridiculous in the extreme for this Senate to refuse to table and to examine carefully documents which have come into existence over a period of 10 months and which have been presented by a man whom the Government of the day selected and dealt with for 10 months, day by day, to achieve what this Government thought, mistakenly and wrongly, and probably illegally, to be one of the highest of its purposes. [More…]
The man who was the absolute linchpin of the affair came into Australia and gave his version of it. [More…]
Why should they complain if there is nothing in them but that this man Khemlani, the Government’s man, a man it negotiated with for a considerable amount of money over a considerable period of time, a man it trusted and a man whose involvement with the Government we have criticised, wants to clear his name. [More…]
We are entitled to see the whole document, to see how this man sets out his case. [More…]
This man sought to put material before the Senate so that he could clear his name. [More…]
Obviously we ought to give this man the chance to have these documents tabled. [More…]
However, we want to know all that this man wants to put before the Senate so that we can then judge whether further investigation is needed. [More…]
It is no use saying here that this man should have been brought here next week, stood up in the back of the Senate and examined in a way which we have already seen demonstrated to be not very effective. [More…]
A man who has put his own words in writing can be judged by them and examined upon them. [More…]
It is a matter in which this man’s name has been brought forward and in which all kinds of claims have been made. [More…]
Senator Greenwood is the man who had mothers’ homes raided on Christmas Day in the hope that he would catch some person who was legitimately and properly evading the draft. [More…]
He is going to win on the vote of a dead man. [More…]
Senator Missen would not have done that because he is an honourable man. [More…]
-Yes, they are the poor man’s James Bond, as Senator Mulvihill so colourfully puts it. [More…]
But he was the toast of those people because he, along with his colleagues in the Democratic Labor Party, kept them in office for many years and gave them their majority in the Senate. [More…]
The Opposition said that the appointment of this man, whom it had revered and at whose feet it had sat for so many years receiving sage words of advice, was a scandalous one and that Senator Gair should never have been sent to represent this country abroad, whereas it was quite happy to allow Senator Gair to exercise quite inordinate influence in the conduct of the affairs of this country. [More…]
My word, there is a man of decision. [More…]
He is a man for whom I have the greatest respect, but I could not see why he should get a light if I did not get a light. [More…]
I merely make the point that this man whom Senator Wheeldon found so amusing, this man whose production brought almost poetry from his lips, is the man that the honourable senator’s own Government had provided as its man to seek loans of $4,000m. [More…]
I think it is a quite remarkable turn of events that in the Senate we should find Senator Wheeldon being intensely amused at the performance of that man and attempting to ridicule him, being intensely amused by the man who is his own operator. [More…]
I refer to matters that are relevant to the performance of the Government, because that is what it is all about. [More…]
If they were trumpery and phoney they were referable to the Government’s man, Mr Khemlani. [More…]
With the performance of the present Treasurer in revealing the Budget details to a man of considerable commercial enterprise, Mr Hawke, five or six hours before it was revealed to the Parliament, it must surely be a possibility, if the bottom of the bucket has not already been scraped, that the Treasurer could well be in some measure of danger. [More…]
The Prime Minister may well be looking now for a fourth man to take that portfolio. [More…]
A man who flashes a toy gun at a hold-up has to be treated as if the gun is loaded. [More…]
Mr Lewis has demonstrated that, even if he is bluffing, he is not a man to be trusted in such matters. [More…]
One who was particularly outspoken when the Opposition indicated that it may refuse Supply in 1974 was none other than a man who appears to have changed course dramatically in recent weeks. [More…]
I heard an Australian Broadcasting Commission man talking to Mr Whitlam a while ago. [More…]
When I saw the ABC man in the corridor I said to him: ‘The one question you failed to ask Mr Whitlam was why the difference in 1974 when compared with 1975. [More…]
A senior Press man told me that this was why they were all pro- Whitlam. [More…]
As a matter of fact, I will tell honourable senators this straight: He is not even a Labor man. [More…]
Why, his own uncle was reported in the Brisbane Sunday Mail as having said on his birthday a few months ago: ‘We have never had a Labor man in the family. [More…]
How he ever became a Labor man I do not know’. [More…]
He is a phoney Labor man. [More…]
He said that Labor senators are a lot of loafers and he told this other man that Labor senators are only a lot of old mokes. [More…]
As I said, he is not a fair dinkum Labor man. [More…]
In saying that the bona fides of the gentleman involved were properly checked, Mr Whitlam was holding him up as a man of standing and authority and honesty. [More…]
revealed the man’s integrity. [More…]
It is Goof Whitlam, the man who has goofed everything in the country. [More…]
We find Clyde Cameron, a man who worked very hard in Victoria to reorganise the Labor Party. [More…]
As a matter of fact, Whitlam is a man to whom nobody should ever want to be close because it is his truest friends whom he stabs in the back. [More…]
If a man can do that, he is able to rule without parliament. [More…]
We did so on the basis of a mandate- an authority that was given to us by the Australian people. [More…]
We had a great cloud of a story about telexes, a man called Khemlani, another man called Karidis and letters going to and from banking institutions in America and Europe, all designed to do no more than confuse the one basic point- and that basic point has been the initiative that this Government has taken and will continue to take to develop our resources for the benefit of Australians. [More…]
It means that many people will gain and that some people will be disadvantaged. [More…]
The Australian family man with a dependant wife and 2 children is able to earn more than $100 a week free of tax. [More…]
Unfortunately, too many people must seek a second income. [More…]
Many men either through inability or other extra responsibility at home, are unable to take advantage of overtime or of other means of employment. [More…]
Many have to do so. [More…]
For example, a man with a taxable income of $40,000 a year got back $2 out of every $3 he claimed as deductions from his income. [More…]
A man with a taxable income of $5,000 got back a little more than $ 1 out of every $3 he claimed on his tax return. [More…]
The wealthier man’s dependants were worth almost twice as much as the poorer man’s dependants! [More…]
The examples relate to a family man claiming for a dependent spouse and 2 children. [More…]
So one can see that for a family man claiming for a dependent spouse and 2 children the benefits flow up to a weekly income of $200. [More…]
That should have a measure of support from all of us because a man on that income with those responsibilities was finding that taxation was eroding his take home pay in the past. [More…]
It is true, thirdly, that the emphasis of these proposals and the proposed re-scheduling favours the family man with children. [More…]
Might I refer briefly to some figures indicating the situation of a family man with a dependent wife and 2 children. [More…]
A man on $ 1 40 a week will have a weekly saving of $5.85; on $160 a weekly saving of $6.85; and on $200 a weekly saving of $9.60. [More…]
That is the sort of amount which a man on $120 a week gets by way of tax relief. [More…]
As I have said, the benefits are there for the family man with a wife and 2 children. [More…]
Those benefits are substantial- less substantial, I suppose, if he is a drinking or smoking family man, but nonetheless they are there. [More…]
This is the man the Opposition is trying to champion today. [More…]
If a man is in court and is asked whether he wants a secret trial and he says ‘yes’, could he not say ‘no’? [More…]
It was a tribute to that man that he was able to obtain a consensus of support for what he did in South Australia regardless of any defects in the political system which stood behind the boundaries of the electorates of the lower House in our State. [More…]
He is a remarkable man, both physically and mentally. [More…]
I make no bones about the fact that on occasions I have consulted with this gentleman and have always found him to be an open-minded and very great man. [More…]
That was stated by the Governor of the Reserve Bank, a man for whom I have tremendous respect. [More…]
I know of no man who is not anxious to make a profit and pay taxation on it, provided that taxation is levied reasonably. [More…]
There is something crazy about the economics of a man who has lifted taxation on proprietary limited companies to the level of public company taxation without taking other steps. [More…]
It talks of the abject stupidity of the Prices Justification Tribunal taking up the query of a man who said that he had been charged $4 to have changed the tube on his motor cycle. [More…]
It is interesting that so much Press comment has been made over the years on the tax scales and about the Australian Government being the principal bogey man as far as tax is concerned. [More…]
In that year the tax on average earnings was $743 for a man with a wife and 2 dependent children. [More…]
Let us say that he is a man with no children. [More…]
Even the higher income earner, the man who is on $20,000 a year, will find that his tax last year of $7,220 will rise to $9,624 on the income he will recei ve when indexation is applied to the wage he receives. [More…]
The gainers will be the privileged groups in Australian society; the losers will be the poor, the working man, the pensioner. [More…]
The Australian family man with a dependent wife and 2 children will be able to earn more than $100 a week free of tax. [More…]
The Australian family man with a dependent wife and 2 children- the worker- is able to earn more than $ 100 a week free of tax. [More…]
Your interest in the Commonwealth Parliament for many years, your interest in community service and your interest in the service of business in your State warrant your elevation to this high position. [More…]
You were a very experienced Temporary Chairman of Committees and your work on committees has pointed you out as an admirable man for the office which you now hold. [More…]
The office has been given to a man with long and esteemed parliamentary experience, during which time you have won the respect of your colleagues on both sides of the chamber. [More…]
Contrary to the whole Constitution a government that was given a mandate to operate for 3 years was dismissed by an individual who came into this House today expecting us to pay homage to him. [More…]
No honest Labor man in Australia- the Labor Party represents 42 per cent of the electorate- will in the future attend a function where Sir John Kerr is in attendance. [More…]
During last week I had unfortunately to decline donating to a charitable organisation because its sponsor is a man who does not have the respect of a large number of Australian citizens. [More…]
His sanctimonious little sermon to the Senate would have been more acceptable if he had shown a little more courtesy and good manners earlier in the day. [More…]
I am sure that we all admire them for their sportsmanship m so doing. [More…]
But we noticed that the man who has just left us so rapidly and who read us such a sermon in good manners and civility did not have the grace to do so. [More…]
I hope that the affairs of the Senate will be conducted in this session with a greater attention to civility than we have had from a man who should be an exemplar of civility in this place. [More…]
I can only make the assumption in that respect- it is a reasonable assumptionthat if Senator Wriedt had known that he was not a Minister he would not have attempted to masquerade as a Minister in this place, because he is an honourable man. [More…]
Tun Razak was a man of compromise. [More…]
Tun Razak was a quietly-spoken man but had the inner toughness necessary to lead his country toward its full potential and to a rightful place in international affairs. [More…]
He was an unassuming, modest man, but a very able administrator. [More…]
He understood the West better than anyone else in China and knew that co-existence with nations of various political persuasions was essential in the interest of peace and human welfare. [More…]
He was intelligent, modest and a man of great charm and integrity. [More…]
It has to be remembered that as a very young man he was part of the famous Long March during which he with Chairman Mao Tse-tung retreated to the western perimeters of his country in order to develop a philosophy which, 20 years later, brought that group of people to the leadership of the country and, for the first time in many centuries, brought about a unified central government. [More…]
I was fortunate to have a very brief meeting with him in the early 1950s and to respond to the tremendous personality of the man to which most world leaders subsequently have paid tribute as in the 1970s, some 20 years later, the world began to recognise in Chou En-lai a person of world stature who was associated with taking his country out of feudalism into the modern world. [More…]
The Governor-General’s apologists, including a man, Mr President, who sat yesterday in the Chair that you now occupy- I refer to Sir Garfield Barwick- and who played a particularly shabby role in last year’s coup, have given a public defence of the Governor-General’s actions. [More…]
During the electoral campaign I appeared on many rostrums. [More…]
I appeared in debates with a man for whom I have great respect- the present Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations, which is the equivalent of the job I had, Mr Tony Street. [More…]
I believe Mr Street has a genuine interest in the fight against inflation and I believe that he came into his present office with a determination to do the right things to fight inflation and, above all else, to honour the commitment that he made publicly on many platforms with me that he would support the continuation of wage indexation. [More…]
I never believed, any more than the judges of the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission believe, that wage indexation is a panacea for our economic ills or that it offers any sort of permanent solution for inflation, but it has been a very potent weapon in the fight against inflation. [More…]
Nonetheless I believe that if we do not continue wage indexation for the period ahead, if we do not persuade the unions, as I agree that Mr Fraser and Mr Street managed to persuade them, that they will get a fair go from this Government, we can kiss the fight against inflation goodbye. [More…]
In other words, as I feared but hoped I was wrong, the Government has shown itself in the space of two or three months to be a sectional government, a government which has no real interest in the affairs of the ordinary man, despite the cliches that are dotted throughout this Speech. [More…]
As I have said in another place, far from turning on the lights, Mr Fraser gives me the impression of a man groping around in the dark trying to find the switch. [More…]
Every one of those 350 people, to a man, said that no member of the Labor Party should be in the Parliament when the Governor-General took his place in this Parliament. [More…]
I mention this to let members of the media know that there are strong feelings amongst many hundreds of thousands, indeed millions, of the Australian people- at least 43 per cent of the Australian community. [More…]
As a result there was a beneficial settlement to that State as there was to Tasmania. [More…]
There is no case for any South Australian senator, whether he is a Liberal man or a Labor man, to talk about a bad deal for South Australia. [More…]
In the case of Mr Alberto, we are witnessing the slow disintegration of a man’s ego, dignity and self esteem. [More…]
I have seen in him a man who was an excellent provider and a generous human being. [More…]
He cooperated with Australian commandos in Timor during the 1942 Japanese invasion, harbouring them, feeding them and assisting in every way possible. [More…]
I can understand how easily such a man’s ego would be crushed by a continued dependence upon a soninlawhowever intimate and warm the relationship might be. [More…]
I believe you to be one of these, hence this letter to you as a special appeal on behalf of a man in special circumstances. [More…]
I liken my position to that of a man with an Armalite rifle in that I have to pick off certain things that have been said by Senator Sim, Senator Young and other honourable senators opposite. [More…]
To show honourable senators how some of my socialist colleagues are over fair, I point to the actions of a man whom honourable senators opposite malign. [More…]
I know my colleague Senator Coleman would agree with me on this. [More…]
The manager said they were flighty. [More…]
I wanted Mr Grassby to force that man to apologise, but Mr Hewitt said: ‘The man has rights and Senator Mulvihill hates industrial officers’. [More…]
I know that the Minister for Defence, Mr Killen, who I appreciate as a fair and honest man, has denied that this lobbying does go on. [More…]
That is quite right, but it is because not so many started during the previous Government’s term of office because of the lack of confidence in that Government. [More…]
We have been accused of being a sectional Government and of not being interested in the ordinary man. [More…]
I thought perhaps Senator James McClelland might have done so last evening but that I was rather trying to justify the actions of a man holding a high office. [More…]
I was suggesting that if this man had been under some pressure from somewhere we should assist in finding out the details, thus relieving any future holder of such a high office from the pressures that can be placed upon somebody in that office. [More…]
At present the employer is making the decision as to who shall be forced to have increased leisure time and the employer is doing so irrespective of whether a man is capable of using the extra leisure time or whether his life will be wasted by being compelled to take that extra leisure time. [More…]
I listened today to Senator Mulvihill, a man who is normally of a reasonable nature and who has compassion. [More…]
Senator Laucke is respected by us all as a gentle man and a fair man. [More…]
He demonstrated that he is willing to listen to the other man’s point of view. [More…]
He has done this many times in this place. [More…]
I thought that was a bit rich really, coming from a man who is a member of the squattocracy and who left a private school and went straight to Oxford and then very shortly afterwards came into this Parliament and has been here ever since. [More…]
I thought it was a bit rich for a man who considers that one of the essentials of life is to hire a butler and to make sure that his drivers wear coats and caps even in the stifling climate that we have had in the last few days. [More…]
Added to that is his latest key phrase- we have heard it many times since the election and especially since the selection of the Cabinet- that there are no soft options for Australians. [More…]
I shall quote the words of the man who was then Prime Minister, who with a little foresight could have remained Prime Minister up to the time of a properly called election but who chose another course. [More…]
Among other things it enabled us to see how well an old-style Labor man, now expelled from the socialist Party, filled the seat of the Leader of the Opposition in this place on his first day here. [More…]
Many people in Australia have told me that they are sick of the Opposition being so obsessed about the mess it made last October; that it seems to be unable to get down to the job that lies ahead of it, the job of providing the Government with proper parliamentary opposition. [More…]
I believe that he is a man who is greater than the pygmies who oppose him and that his place in history is more secure than theirs will ever be. [More…]
He is a man who took difficult decisions in a very difficult situation. [More…]
Any criticism of the exercise of the power brings to mind the devastating comment of a man who knew what he was talking about in 1902 when the Senate’s financial powers caine under serious challenge. [More…]
If any man had dared to stand up and tell the smaller States that the Senate had only such a power, the Constitution would never have been accepted. [More…]
Similarly, if any man had dared to stand up and tell the Constitutional Convention of 1897-98 that the Senate could not reject or defer Supply the Constitution would never have been accepted. [More…]
When the Liberal Party came to office it announced that under its cuts it would no longer fund any man-made historical projects. [More…]
But I do not think he is quite that type of man. [More…]
From that point on and in this debate in particular it seems that Opposition members, almost to a man, have consistently concerned themselves with what they believed were the unfortunate occurrences of October, November and December of 1975.I believe that the 60-odd empty seats in this chamber last Tuesday when this Parliament was opened in the traditional manner really provided mute evidence not of protest but really of insult to the institution of this Parliament, to the representatives of the people of Australia, to the Governor-General himself and, I guess, through him to the Monarch. [More…]
I suggest that there are many basic facets of free enterprise democracy. [More…]
The role of government is not to own and direct but to prevent exploitation, whether it be of man or of resources. [More…]
Having done that, we cannot assume- we would be totally wrong to assume- that equality is a total part of the human race. [More…]
Human beings are not equal and choose not to be equal. [More…]
To this point in the history of man nothing seems to have been able to satsify human nature as much as the profit motive. [More…]
No form of government will be successful in the long term unless human nature is satisfied. [More…]
We have heard so many quotations from this historic or hysteric document- depending entirely on your political point of view- which was read on Tuesday in this chamber by His Excellency the GovernorGeneral, the man who played such a prominent part in the coup d’etat last November. [More…]
But when the time comes that a man needs the assistance of governments it is to be hoped that none of us here ever find ourselves in need of assistance of governmentsit is to be hoped that not only will he find that assistance but also that he will find the compassion that should go with the assistance. [More…]
A new system is in operation: As far as the payment of unemployment benefits by the present Government in concerned, clothes make the man. [More…]
At page 56 of the Liberal Party manifesto it is stated: [More…]
I can say, I hope without affront to anyone in the Parliament, that probably he is the most experienced Chairman of Committees in this Parliament and he is a man of true and total integrity. [More…]
I think the GovernorGeneral is a man who it must be acknowledged by most thinking people- and the Australian electorate seemed to think so- had to take a decision on behalf of the Australian people, however difficult it must have been for him. [More…]
Obviously Senator Withers is a man of principle. [More…]
I am simply making a request to Senator Greenwood in the manpower sphere. [More…]
I repeat that this boilermaker is a man who has served a gaol sentence for his trade union activities. [More…]
Senator Sheil displayed an unbelievable and incredible naivete about the way in which our society operates and in fact attempted to take us back to the simple philosophy of Adam Smith under which every man looked after himself. [More…]
Yet we have this man, Mr Fraser, who was part of this whole sordid and sorry deal of last year, now attempting to convince the Australian people that our taxation in respect of our gross domestic product is out of relationship and, in fact, that is what is creating the economic difficulties in our country. [More…]
What a very fine Prime Minister we have in a man who tells the Australian people via the Liberal Party s secretariat that it was in fact from an official document and then says that it was from a Treasury document and finally has to admit to the Australian people that he lied! [More…]
‘Fraserology’ as I interpret it from reading the collected wisdom of that man, enunciated in various speeches, involves a rather Leaving Certificate standard statement or dissertation on notions of freedom and equality in society. [More…]
The fact that this method has been introduced so quickly and is operating so efficiently is a credit to both the technicians and the trade staff who installed and maintain it and the crews who man the trains. [More…]
In conclusion, I would say that Australia must be recognised as one of the nations of ‘haves’ amongst many of the world’s countries of ‘have nots’. [More…]
It will show extreme disregard for the plight of our fellow man if we do not accept our responsibility towards those millions of less fortunate people who live within less than a day’s flying time of our shores. [More…]
I look to the day when the industrial climate is such that the man on the shop floor readily considers himself an integral part of the firm for which he works and not just a number on the payroll sheet. [More…]
I am quite sure that when this situation arises the industrial harmony that so many of us seek will be a lot closer and that our Commonwealth will be able to reach its full potential and to turn its energies towards playing a far greater role in assisting the less developed countries of the world. [More…]
I know that he is a numbers man. [More…]
One of the things that saddens me is the names that have been given to many members of my race. [More…]
I do not know whether many honourable senators know what a piccanniny is. [More…]
This man would have an Aboriginal name, but no one gives 2 hoots about that. [More…]
Because of some white man, he was called Ralph Peinkinna. [More…]
They are conscious of the fact that because there are valuable minerals in this land the white man will get it one way or the other. [More…]
I met a young man the other evening. [More…]
The child cost that young man and his wife $28,000 in its first year. [More…]
He is a white man. [More…]
He is a white man. [More…]
Some of them were women who were on their own and who were going to have the responsibility of raising their family and some of them were women who knew that, because of the type of man to whom they were married, they would always have to accept part of the responsibility of looking after their families. [More…]
To so many of these women for so long the earning of some money was better than earning no money at all. [More…]
No matter what were their capabilities or what skills were lying dormant in them they had to do any sort of job they could get. [More…]
The situation in this case was that the man concerned was unwilling to accept the position which was offered to him at the award rate for the position concerned. [More…]
In view of all the difficulties and for the reasons which have been explained by Senator Sir Magnus Cormack and Senator Withers earlier in the debate but which I will not repeat, it would be difficult to set up and man joint committees as proposed by the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
Let me outline the history of the case of Bill Carter who, as a man in the hungry ’30s, as a slaughterman alternated between New Zealand and Australia. [More…]
He was a very radical man. [More…]
One Labor Minister had implied that this man, Bill Carter, had a subversive background. [More…]
When these McCarthyist sentiments were expressed, to his credit the Premier asked: ‘Do you back this man?’ [More…]
He was a very militant slaughterman but that did not make him a potential traitor. [More…]
As a matter of fact, if Senator Wright were in the chamber- he is not- he would know that when we were on an expedition which concerned a man named Khemlani, he was almost prepared to jettison the concepts that I have about security. [More…]
Senator Greenwood will recall that the question that I am about to throw to him now as the Government spokesman on this legislation is the same as the question I threw to my own Leader in the Senate when this legislation was introduced by the Labor Government. [More…]
I point out to Senator Grimes that this man has packed down in a rugby scrum, so he is not a bad bloke. [More…]
Whether the Minister involved is Senator James McClelland, Clyde Cameron, Michael MacKellar, or any other Minister before those gentlemen, I do not believe that any one man is infallible. [More…]
I read in the Bulletin, which is not a left wing publication, that recently that gentleman was refused admission to or was asked to leave Singapore. [More…]
The moral of the story is that ASIO should be more careful not to employ people like this gentleman or Dr Bialoguski who was involved in the Petrov Royal Commission and was such a super-egotist that later on he hired the Albert Hall in London and paid to have 10 people listen to him conducting an orchestra. [More…]
I believe that that man was mentally disturbed. [More…]
I am sure that not being a military man he will not have the preconceived ideas about trade unionists being militants. [More…]
As ASIO Director-General we will have a man with a judicial mind. [More…]
I am hopeful, as indeed is the Opposition, that in the person of Mr Justice Woodward- a trained lawyer and a man in whom we have confidencethis type of approach will become much more dominant in the activities of ASIO, as distinct from the sort of behaviour pattern which became commonplace over the last 20 years in that Organisation. [More…]
I think that the members of ASIO were served poorly by the previous Government and that, whatever be the effort which was made in the latter days of that Government to restore ASIO’s morale by appointing as its head a man who had bi-partisan support, who was a judge and who could therefore command respect and support throughout the community, so much damage had been earlier done. [More…]
I have raised in this chamber the instance of one man who had been employed by ASIO and who had left ASIO on the basis that what he had said which was related to Australia’s security was ignored by the then Government. [More…]
That man has had his words proved correct by so many events which have transpired since. [More…]
There have been many commissions of inquiry into security services around the world. [More…]
That conclusion is that the only effective way to run an intelligence organisation in a democratic community such as ours is to put in charge of the organisation a man whom you can trust. [More…]
He is a man of integrity who has a record which discloses that in the various tasks he has performed on behalf of government he has done so with dedication and application and ultimately to the satisfaction of those with whom he has had dealings. [More…]
1 position is held by a man and the No. [More…]
2 position is held by a woman. [More…]
That woman has worked for me for some 3 years and is better at the position than most men one could find. [More…]
But if one looks through the ministerial staffing arrangements over a range of 24 Ministers one will find, as I recall it, that there are some Ministers who have a woman as their principal private secretary. [More…]
The simple fact is that we are discussing a man who currently holds a lifetime tenure as a judge and who is being appointed the DirectorGeneral of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. [More…]
The number of man days lost on the waterfront by strikes in Melbourne in 1974-75 amounted to 12 917. [More…]
In Tasmania, the number of days lost on the waterfront by strikes amounted only to fiftysix. [More…]
However, every time the waterfront in Melbourne went on strike the cost to Tasmania was devastating. [More…]
In regard to transport, Bass Strait is Tasmania’s biggest drawback. [More…]
Generally speaking, unless a manufacturer in the private sector can export about 60 per cent of his total output and compete with mainland prices, he cannot hope to remain viable. [More…]
The population of Tasmania is just not big enough. [More…]
So the manufacturer is forced to specialise in areas of industry which export either to the mainland or overseas. [More…]
Therefore Tasmanians rely heavily on imports, with added freight charges for goods that they consume. [More…]
We are hopeful for mankind. [More…]
We believe that man can improve his position and have a better future. [More…]
We believe that the positive impulse in society is the collective, co-operative spirit of man helping his fellow man. [More…]
It is generally agreed that to establish his identity man needs the security of his own land and his own language. [More…]
How is that for a man who has just welcomed his new-found independence, to be gained formally in June? [More…]
The operation took place over 9 or 12 months, with many Premiers meetings and more meetings of Under-Treasurers and their experts. [More…]
Then there is Sir John’s statement of his reasons for sacking a Prime Minister- who still, incidentally, had a majority in the House of Representatives- and appointing a man who could not command that majority. [More…]
Any criticism of the exercise of the power brings to mind the devastating comment of a man who knew what he was talking about in 1902 when the Senate’s financial powers came under serious challenge. [More…]
If any man had dared to stand up and tell the smaller States that the Senate had only such a power, the Constitution would never have been accepted. [More…]
Similarly, if any man had dared to stand up and tell the Constitutional Convention of 1 897-98 that the Senate could not reject or defer Supply the Constitution would never have been accepted. [More…]
One man was suspected of having a granddaughter named Charity because he would say: ‘I will take it, but I will give to to charity’. [More…]
On the other hand when 3 1 March comes along many of the new senators will look aghast at the selfless people who are going to say that it is the wrong time or it is too much. [More…]
One man stood up and moved an amendment that the new figure be 1,250. [More…]
History shows that the Liberal Party introduced this measure in the first place nearly 16 years ago; but it was never implemented because one man, the famous or infamous Sir Reginald Ansett, virtually runs the airline industry of Australia. [More…]
One man ‘s larger pay packet is another man ‘s job. [More…]
The only thing, upon which he is basing that argument is what the Government’s great friend and the man who helped it to win the election, Mr Murdoch, has said in his newspapers. [More…]
Fraser does not strike me as a man who would, when it comes to the point, willingly surrender power to anyone. [More…]
Whilst the construction of that particular clause of the ordinance may be a matter for academic debate by lawyers, I think it is totally regrettable that this place should be used as a forum in which to ventilate thoughts that a man who was not committed for trial should have been committed in some way. [More…]
-One of the things that the Labor Party and, I suspect, the honourable senator who asked the question, will not appreciate is that the people of Australia do not like this place being used to make accusations of crime against a man who has just been placed before a magistrate who has not made a committal. [More…]
Many young men and women who have a tertiary education probably are unable to obtain a job in society. [More…]
It is a very frustrating and heartbreaking affair indeed, not only for the young man or woman concerned but for the parents as well. [More…]
With the aid of a contrived scandal and with Fraser operating as the hatchet man, Mr Gorton subsequently disappeared forever as a political force. [More…]
I am sure that Senator Walsh, who has proved himself over a period of time to be a man of many syllables but of little meaning, would understand what that sort of rubbish means. [More…]
I have heard the point made so often over the years, and Senator Scott made it again, that it is a great compliment to the Country Party when we oppose it because it shows how well it stands up for the interests of the man on the land. [More…]
As Senator Scott said, for half a century the National Country Party by means of an interesting gerrymander has been able to keep its representation in the Parliament. [More…]
It is sticking to that gerrymander very closely to make certain that there is no alteration to its representation. [More…]
After all the concessions and socalled mollycoddling that the Country Party has given to the man on the land, the Country Party would like to blame the former Labor Government for his plight. [More…]
We had a hostile Senate and so many of the things we tried to do were frustrated. [More…]
The amount spent from a man’s wage to buy meat represents a very high proportion of that wage. [More…]
So the meat is not sold to the ordinary working man as cheaply as we would be given to believe in comparison to the price that the farmer himself is receiving. [More…]
I would like some member of the National Country Party who follows me in the debate to assure the Senate that this remission will be passed back to the man who needs it most. [More…]
If the working man were to receive the benefit of the remission, I would be pleased but he will not. [More…]
As I said to Senator Hall, if the working man is not getting a decent wage he cannot buy what the producer is producing. [More…]
It is no good having a man on the lowest possible wage structure and expecting him to pay the high price which the primary producer needs to make his enterprise viable. [More…]
Under the present regulations a man who buys a beast in a saleyard does not know whether part of it will be exported. [More…]
I will convey his suggestion to the Attorney-General to ascertain whether the AttorneyGeneral thinks it proper to ascertain whether a member of the Executive of the Australian Labor Party, in pursuit of funds, was seeking the support of a man at the head of the world ‘s greatest terrorist organisation. [More…]
There is nothing new in the allegations which are currently being given credence in relation to an affidavit which a man has made. [More…]
We make it possible for an individual, man or woman, but specifically in this instance a woman, to get some sort of just economic recognition for his or her contribution to the family at the point where a couple recognises that their marriage has broken down and at the point where they have decided not to continue with their marriage. [More…]
However, how can we justify that position as against the woman whose husband dies, who has had a perfectly satisfactory marriage or a happy marriage and who has the misfortune to lose her husband through his death. [More…]
That woman is then dealt with in an entirely different way. [More…]
If it is good enough to make certain property considerations for and to give certain recognitions to a woman at the point of divorce, it is good enough- and it is certainly quite urgent- that we consider doing that at the point of death of the spouse. [More…]
The obvious example that comes to mind here is the man trying to raise a family on his own with the enormous difficulties he meets trying to do that, the enormous limitations which that role places on his earning potential and the consequent difficulties which families in that situation fall into. [More…]
The supportive role of the second parent- in most cases it is the woman- is important for the family’s economy and we ought to recognise that. [More…]
I guarantee of course that if there were a war all the meteorological services that man can put his hands on would be available, but we are talking about peacetime now and I hope it stays that way. [More…]
Families of professional fishermen in Tasmania have expressed their great concern about this to me. [More…]
I can understand the strain at present in many of these families when somebody announces that it is time he went to sea again. [More…]
Many lives and ships have been lost around the Tasmanian coastline. [More…]
The man in question was about to get married and he was offered a job at Port Hedland. [More…]
A young man got into trouble with the police and lost his car licence and had a short term of imprisonment. [More…]
We do not want the situation in Australia where a man behind an office counter will be the sole judge of whether a young man or young woman applying for the unemployment benefit is getting the correct treatment. [More…]
They are also prepared to accept the white man’s law when they have done wrong and are prepared to accept punishment for it. [More…]
I have never heard of an innocent man being convicted in a tribal court. [More…]
If there is any truth in the confessions that the police officers obtained, the accused, in expressions which I will not use here, honestly said what they did to the girl and were prepared to accept the penalty for their actions; but in white man’s law we are building up a different psychology because when the television interviewers interviewed them they denied everything. [More…]
An accusation is hanging over the head of a man whom Senator Kilgariff knows personally. [More…]
Senator Kilgariff will tell us that that man is the last man likely to do the injury to the woman with whom he was living. [More…]
I took the case of this particular gentleman as an example because he would be one of many who may be affected in the same way by this measure. [More…]
It was a small private Australian company which manufactured buttons and buckles for the clothing trade. [More…]
It was owned by 1 man who carried on business at Moorabbin. [More…]
Before the quorum was formed I was telling honourable senators that the man for whom I speak- I am sure that he is one of many who are affected- was working in a small company which made buttons and buckles for the clothing trade. [More…]
The then Government paid to Mr Turner, the man of whom I spoke, and to other employees of the same company who were retrenched, maintenance assistance to enable them to make their way elsewhere in industry. [More…]
This company had gone to the wall, and the clothing manufacturers in Victoria and New South Wales to whom it supplied goods also had gone to the wall during this period. [More…]
I do not know how many people are affected by this matter. [More…]
This is the case of a man who lost his employment. [More…]
I do not know the basis upon which these demands are made. [More…]
I do not know the nature of the claim that is made against this man. [More…]
People who have lost their jobs and have suffered unemployment should not be expected to repay money that they have received by way of income assistance because in this month of March 1976 it is now considered that a mistake was made in the assessment of the particular way in which this company went out of business and this man lost his long-standing job. [More…]
I suggest that, irrespective of any legal claim, it is most unfortunate that the Government or this Department should now seek to get back money which unquestionably has been spent by this man on his particular needs. [More…]
This is one of those retrospective demands. [More…]
We see this happen many times. [More…]
Suddenly a government department does some sums, makes a determination as to legal claims and then makes a demand for a very substantial sum on somebody who, I submit, should not be expected to meet it. [More…]
I hope that the Minister will be able to give the chamber some reason why this claim is being made and some idea of how many people in the community, as a result of some reassessment of structural adjustment assistance, are now receiving demands of this nature. [More…]
Mr Souter, being an honourable man, resigned from the Broadcasting Control Board for that reason. [More…]
He is the Vice-Chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Control Board. [More…]
He is a man who has given outstanding service to the Australian people and to the entertainment industry. [More…]
I could mention Mr Eddie Williams and Dr Earle Hackett, who is the Acting Chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Commission. [More…]
help yourself in the white man’s environment and beat him at his own game’ - [More…]
There is the type which says ‘be proud of your race, you are as good as the next person, get out and help yourself in the white man ‘s environment and beat him at his own game’. [More…]
This is what 1 see as ‘good Black Power’, for, until my fellow Aborigines gain the confidence and pride which is rightfully theirs, they will be at a permanent disadvantage in the world they now find themselves. [More…]
With his half-Indian blood, he could still be the man . [More…]
Can he, any man in the Senate, or in this nation tell me how much blood of what race I have? [More…]
The Government does not see fit to give the ministry to a man who has first hand knowledge of Aboriginal problems. [More…]
In early December 1975 1 was informed that there was a distinct demand for stonemasons who were particularly skilled in Spanish architecture. [More…]
I simply put it to the Senate that since that date, due to the sloth fulness of our embassy in Madrid, no action has been taken to bring this man to Australia. [More…]
This is an area in which a man with this skill would need at least four assistants. [More…]
The point I am making is that this man would have been an acquisition to our work force. [More…]
I wish to make a few comments on the man myself. [More…]
This man said some things about me last August, which I think are probably worth repeating, in view of what Senator Bonner mentioned last night. [More…]
He went to the most warmhearted Minister, a man who to judge from his appearance, would be the antithesis of a ballerina. [More…]
I have no personal knowledge of this real estate office or of the man who runs it. [More…]
I understand that already in Tasmania there are a number of factories which are paying a figure which is closer to 40c per lb than 50c per lb. [More…]
One would hardly expect a man with a wife and family to survive on such an income. [More…]
He told a personal story- a very human and genuine story- about the difficulties that he, a highly trained person, had in getting employment and the indignities that he suffered under the old system of going to the Commonwealth Employment Service and sometimes being confronted by public servants who, because of the amount of work they had to do, were not as considerate as they might have been. [More…]
I compliment Senator Colston on his very human story. [More…]
A professional man can be denied unemployment benefits if he does not accept a menial job. [More…]
That conference declared as its first principle that man had the fundamental right to freedom, to equality and to adequate conditions of life in an environment of quality, permitting a life of dignity and well being with a solemn responsibility to protect and improve the environment for present and future generations. [More…]
I refer to the case of a man named Suljak, who is serving a non-parole period of a sentence for violence. [More…]
In those circumstances, I find the honourable senator’s persistence in trying to hound a man who has been discharged quite remarkable. [More…]
The conference declared as its first principle that man had the fundamental right to freedom, equality and adequate conditions of life in an environment of quality, permitting a life of dignity and wellbeing with a solemn responsibility to protect and improve the environment for present and future generations. [More…]
The Third World demands revenge, reparations and something akin to looting. [More…]
Certainly they could have done more, but without the coming of the white man there would have been no development at all. [More…]
It was the Liberian Ambassador to the United Nations who likened the situation in his nation to that of a man who had to build his own house from the ground up compared with a man who was left a large inheritance. [More…]
Many of these nations are grateful. [More…]
It is true that, if the white man had not come, there would be no population problem in the lesser developed countries. [More…]
It is the ultimate paradox that the less developed countries reject and denigrate the system of one man one vote in their own countries but they demand and exploit the right of one state one vote in the General Assembly because they do not understand democracy’s ground rules. [More…]
They demand and exploit that vote despite the disparity in their powers, their resources, their experience, their responsibilities and their contributions. [More…]
But the Government can still take the eggs off the kids in the Central Australian settlements; it can still cut out the breakfast programs in other settlements; and generally, by dismissing people who probably will not receive social security payments, it can take the money away from a man and his family. [More…]
‘wholesale sackings’, as alleged by the Opposition spokesman had not taken place. [More…]
This is a white man’s decision. [More…]
As my colleague Senator Bonner on the other side of the chamber would know, Balanda is the white man’s language in this part of the country as it is the Gubs language in other areas and the Parma in areas around Cape York. [More…]
The Chairman continued: [More…]
But I suppose that it is a bit hard for men to understand that there are times when women want to talk to people who understand exactly what their health problem is- and that is not a man. [More…]
Sometimes it is of great comfort for a woman to talk to another woman about what is happening to her body, because that woman does understand as it has been happening to her body. [More…]
With the best will in the world, no man can understand how a woman feels in some circumstances because he is not a woman. [More…]
He is a man. [More…]
What employer would dare ask a man what arrangements he had made for his children or whether he was being a proper parent before he gave him a job? [More…]
I once met a young woman with 5 young children whose husband was dying of a debilitating disease. [More…]
The gentleman interviewing her said to her: I realise that you need to have qualifications, but you are young and have 5 children now. [More…]
The wretched man had the cheek to ask her the name of the gynaecologist so that he could check on whether that was true. [More…]
I think it is fair to say that ever since man has been on earth, ever since Eve ate the apple, he has done reasonably well for himself. [More…]
Irrespective of how valiantly my own State of Victoria fought to have a change in the conditions which were being imposed- Mr Dickie, I recall, fought as vigorously and as publicly as any man could fight- the ultimate result was that they either had to accept the conditions which the Commonwealth imposed or go without the money. [More…]
I do not think there is any safety in any man saying that in 1976 to a son of 10 years of age. [More…]
I certainly think that is true of a great variety of jobs in manufacturing industry which, I believe, will disappear in 10 or 15 years time. [More…]
These factors, I believe, will be important in assessing educational needs and demands. [More…]
My situation is no different from that of any number of women who work in the community, whether from economic necessity, because they are concerned that having only a male breadwinner places a strain on the man and could leave them widows in early life, or whether purely and simply they desire to go out to work to fulfil themselves. [More…]
I think we also have to look at the situation of the single woman or the single man who out of love or duty to her or his parents decides to stay at home and look after them when they are no longer able to look after themselves. [More…]
What happens to a single man if his parents die and do not give their property to him beforehand- at which time he would have to pay gift duty on it? [More…]
I ask members of the Press to see whether they can use a word other than ‘ bludger ‘ in many of their Press articles. [More…]
Whence, bludger (sometimes a man living on immoral earnings of women). [More…]
Australians will remember him best as the man who led the Allied forces to victory in the North Africa campaign of the Second World War. [More…]
It has always been my understanding that at times he was a very difficult man to get along with. [More…]
Sir John Overall is a man with a very distinguished record and his work in connection with the growth of Canberra will be ever remembered. [More…]
There was a young man there for the same purpose and they saw the dean together. [More…]
It is interesting that the young people in many cases accepted what had been said but in some cases- I think it was quite a significant groupsaid that they did not really care what the old fellows said and that they would like to go into town for training. [More…]
The group found- many of the rest of us have found also- that Aboriginal young people tend not to take a job but rather to work with a particular person. [More…]
In other words a young man will not say that he wants to be a carpenter, a mechanic or something of the sort, but he will say. [More…]
‘I would like to work with that man’. [More…]
While this has advantages in the settlement it has many disadvantages when one thinks in terms of training because the young man will not train with someone else. [More…]
Why was this man railroaded by innuendo and false evidence? [More…]
This man, Norman Bray, sought redress from the Senate and thus far the Senate has failed him. [More…]
This is what Mr Norman Bray indicated quite clearly in his affidavit: [More…]
We have a man who did not lie and others who did lie. [More…]
In this debate I am not interested in myself; I am interested in the fact that a man who refused to lie is still without a permanent job while those who did lie have reaped their rewards in cash and kind. [More…]
King Room under observation and between 2.00 p.m. and 2.40 p.m. Messrs Haynes, Harradine, Moxon, Shanahan, Bray, Grove, Unsworth and one other man who 1 was unable to identify entered the room. [More…]
Where are people in the Labor Party who are prepared to come out and raise one solitary voice in favour of truth and justice in the defence of one man and do something to preserve the integrity of the Party? [More…]
Has a man been railroaded out of the Australian Labor Party as Mr Whitlam obviously believes he has been? [More…]
I suppose he is an inconsequential unionist to the members of the Australian Labor Party, a man who is expendable, who can lose his job in the union, who can be suspended in denial of the rule of natural justice and who can be denied the opportunity of pursuing his employment because he cannot secure membership of his union and therefore cannot get a job. [More…]
No matter whether the man is a disqualified member of the Australian Labor Party, whether he is a unionist whose union expels him, when people appeal, as Senator Harradine has said, for the protection of one of the Houses of Parliament they are entitled to get it. [More…]
Is it a fact, as reported in today’s Australian, that a young Hobart man, Andre Colbert, has spent more than 6 months in an Indian prison without specific charges being laid against him? [More…]
2 man in the Government of this country possibly has done more than any other person to undermine all the work that has been done by so many other people over the years to build up confidence and trust between Australia and Japan. [More…]
I could not imagine anything more irresponsible for a man in Mr Anthony’s position to say than what he has said in the last three or four days. [More…]
We acted upon advice which more often than not we received from our legal advisor, who is a man versed in constitutional law, but we did not act upon advice on all occasions. [More…]
The fact is that legislation on this matter has been passed by the Commonwealth Parliament and there is a man who holds the office of Commissioner for Community Relations whose job it is to investigate any allegations of racial discrimination and, if he finds there are such allegations, to endeavour by consultation and talking with people to avoid the consequences of a practice which all Australians would abhor. [More…]
I suggest to the honourable senator who asked the question that is does not help the cause which I think he and I both wish to promote- racial harmony in this country- to identify people in the manner in which he has. [More…]
Anthony’s fervent desire to attract some attention and to make himself appear to be an important man in the Government. [More…]
In fact, Australia-Japan trade, on a per head of population basis, works out at about $150 a year for each man, woman and child in Australia. [More…]
It has the capacity to absorb and take in many cultures but to change them into its own pattern. [More…]
It is a nation where much of the major decision making rests with the 35 to 40 year olds who are not the nominal heads of organisations but who are at a lower managerial level. [More…]
I am sure that no man or woman in rural Australia would agree with that sort of opinion. [More…]
I realise that the present migration program is limited but as there is a job and accommodation for this young man and his relatives are able to pay his fares I request you to consider the matter favourably even if this means that only the brother is given permission to reside in Australia in the near future. [More…]
It is estimated that for the year 1971-72- the latest available return- there were about 400 fatalities, 280 000 injuries resulting in the loss of one or more working days or shifts and 770 000 man weeks of working time lost by employees as a result of these injuries. [More…]
If we want to get our country moving again the key to it is the realisation that we must depend on each other and that no man is an island. [More…]
There is one interesting thing to bear in mind, Mr Deputy President, as you would well know as a man of the country, as were many dozens of your forebears. [More…]
For example, any man who lives on the land and hires a truck to take his cattle to market knows that during the last 4 years the cost of transporting cattle by road has risen by about 30 per cent to 40 per cent. [More…]
I think Senator Walsh is a man who is quite well armed with economic knowledge, especially in relation to rural matters. [More…]
The small farmer and the farmer on new land need more assistance than the man at the top. [More…]
We had received reports of the arrest, imprisonment and torture of that man. [More…]
Mr Syddell made the statement that he was a very sick man and he was not able to do very much to help himself. [More…]
Before we know very much more, this gentleman is in Jakarta. [More…]
This is the gentleman who could not walk 50 paces to meet us at the helicopter. [More…]
This is the gentleman who is relying on pension cheques to keep him alive. [More…]
What was put to me by both the then President, or the man who claimed to be President, and what in our way of speaking might be termed his executive was that they had a feeling very deep towards Australia, and that there was a need for humanitarian aid in the form of food, medical supplies, mechanical equipment and such things. [More…]
I was a coloured man and came from Australia. [More…]
I say this very sincerely because I have come across instances not of misappropriation- I do not imply that at all- but of mismanagement of the money that has been made available. [More…]
He has given the task to Mr David Hay who is a man of high qualifications and repute. [More…]
I preface my question with the observation that in theory it may be worth while to insist that each man be responsible for his own actions, but I observe further that in practice this does not happen. [More…]
Is the Minister further aware that the Family Law Act amendment she has suggested is considered by many professional welfare workers to be inhumane? [More…]
I am as good a party man as anyone but I believe that there are considerations which are superior to the Party. [More…]
Anyone who has had any experience with pensioners will know that for many years before pensioners pass away they subscribe to funeral funds. [More…]
How does a man and his wife with two or three children provide it? [More…]
These are the sort of funeral benefits schemes which people who are now of an age when they are really worrying about who will bury them enter into: They pay out $60 on the death of a male, $30 for the death of a wife- obviously, it costs less to bury a woman than it does a man- and $30 on the death of an unmarried female. [More…]
That is hardly the statement of a man who would be supporting the present proposals of this Government. [More…]
That is something like offering a condemned man a choice of strychnine or arsenic. [More…]
There we have it, Sir Eric Willis, a man of noted perspicacity, confessing that he was confused. [More…]
In short, on the question of imposing a State income tax the stand of this man of principle is: ‘We won’t; we will; we won’t’. [More…]
All the waffle which we have heard about this being something in the far distant future falls to the ground in the light of that statement by the man who was really cracking the whip. [More…]
I refer in this case to a man who I think did more than anybody else to raise this issue and to inspire the new federalism policy of the Government parties. [More…]
Consequently as responsibilities are adjusted between State governments and the Federal Government, as Mr Whitlam was quoted by Senator Carrick today as saying, we have to reach the stage at which the man who raises the money spends it; the man who wants to spend the money upon services, if he is to be responsible, will be the one who has the odium of increasing the tax. [More…]
There is a man who will not present himself for the purpose of interrogation or questioning by the Australian police to help enforce the laws of the land, to see whether there is a breach of the laws of Australia. [More…]
It is not supposed that he is a caller at Senator Townley ‘s chemist shops in Tasmania seeking to have prescriptions filled. [More…]
It is interesting that the Labor Government authorised and issued, before we came in, a tax scale which has now been incorporated into the rates of weekly deductions which takes from the little man more tax than it should, and the little man has no way of avoiding it. [More…]
I have already made the tables available to the Manager of Opposition Business in the Senate (Senator Douglas McClelland). [More…]
Taking the conservative figure that the tax scales are taking from the small man 5 per cent extra in tax, in one year the Government gains $430m by way of compulsory loan. [More…]
Has the man who pays his tax week by week always been at a disadvantage? [More…]
If a man with no dependants earned $100 a week, he paid $81 less tax when he paid week by week. [More…]
If a man earned $120 a week he was $92 worse off over a year. [More…]
If a man with a dependent wife and 2 children under the age of 16 earned $200 a week, and paid his tax weekly, under the figures that operated in 1972-73 he got $122 in his pocket that was not given to the fellow who paid tax once a year. [More…]
When we left government we had a system operating that was to the benefit of the man who earned his wages each week, when compared with the richer person who paid his tax once a year. [More…]
This gentleman had a further operation at a later date, and equally outrageous charges were made. [More…]
This man was one of the first opponents of Medibank in north Queensland. [More…]
There are many good doctors, but there are some people, such as this gentleman, who apparently are prepared to do a rip-off. [More…]
The chemist was at fault also, because he should not have issued a drug merely because a man waved a receipt at him. [More…]
It is obvious that he is ripping off the taxpayer- and he is a man who condemned the Labor Government because it introduced Medibank. [More…]
She made some statements that she thought this man should be replaced by another salaried specialist. [More…]
She may care to acknowledge that following the confrontation which took place 2 years ago in this part of the world the immigration of doctors to the Australian Capital Territory has almost ceased and the medical manpower situation is a lot worse. [More…]
The man who raises the money should have the right to spend it. [More…]
The people of north Queensland, from where Senator McAuliffe comes, believe that Brisbane is just as much a bogey man and a centralist place as is Canberra. [More…]
He is a man who has seen fit to involve himself, mostly through necessity and certainly at times just through sheer interest, in the research and development of appropriate machinery and cultivation research and development. [More…]
I was reminded, when listening to honourable senators speaking, of the fact that one of the experts on breeding the famous dwarf varieties of wheat was a man who was trained in Australia in plant breeding. [More…]
There are no rules in our Party by which a man, if he is prepared to think and speak for himself, is automatically expelled. [More…]
It was a rainmaking and man making ceremony. [More…]
Many young boys were to be initiated into the tribes at Wiluna. [More…]
The ceremony attracted Aborigines from many hundreds of miles away. [More…]
The Commonwealth then said that if it caved in and allowed Western Australia to appoint the chairman of the commission the Commonwealth should appoint the other 2 commissioners. [More…]
Mr Bridges is a part- Aborigine, the mayor of Hall’s Creek, who was elected on a white man’s vote. [More…]
I think he is an honest man but one can see how divorced he is from Aboriginal thinking. [More…]
With no provision in the Standing Orders of the New South Wales Parliament for a secret ballot for filling Senate vacancies, the result was beyond doubt when the New South Wales Cabinet approved the nomination of the Mayor of Albury, 72-year-old Alderman Cleaver Bunton. [More…]
That was the man who had apparently filled the quaint description that Mr Lewis was reported in the Courier Mail of 17 February 1975 to have given the person for whom he was looking- a political neuter. [More…]
He said that ‘in the case of a death, it is logical to appoint a man from the same Party’. [More…]
There had been widespread condemnation of the actions of 27 August from people of all political persuasions throughout Australia, including many members of the House of Representatives who debated the issue in that House on 3 September 1975. [More…]
Then the man whom Mr Bjelke-Petersen nominated, Mr A. P. Field- a relative unknown in politics at that time and, incidentally, not really known by Mr Bjelke-Petersen himself- was appointed by 50 votes to 26 votes. [More…]
Mr Albert Patrick Field is such a man. [More…]
What is the relative productivity per man hour in the Australian shipbuilding industry as compared to the other major overseas tendering countries. [More…]
There is a growing interest and concern in all sections of Australian society for the conservation of the environment, natural and man made. [More…]
That would perhaps be the best form of communication that we could establish, namely, to have a man of his standing and of his connections move into the country and give to the rest of the world a real commentary on the circumstances, the problems and hopefully the solutions that would apply. [More…]
There are many negative aspects which I intend to mention; but there were at the same time some positive aspects of the Portuguese regime. [More…]
One did see cars in Dili- there were not a great many cars there- in which on occasions a white Portuguese private was driving a person of non-European origin, some sort of official or functionary of the Portuguese Government, as a passenger. [More…]
He told me that this person was a bald headed man, with horn rimmed glasses, aged about 60, and rather fat; but he neglected to tell me that he was a totally black man from Sao Tome, who was a political deportee living in Timor but engaging in some sort of scholarly work which was a little too esoteric for me. [More…]
I refer also to a letter by Mr Jim Dunn, a man who knows East Timor and who represented Australia there. [More…]
The consensus of all present as we left that room was that the man was seeking to pull the wool over our eyes and that, in fact, he had distorted the truth and tried to hide the facts from us. [More…]
I reminded the same gentleman of that fact after the coup in Australia on 1 1 November when I sent him a telegram some time between 11 November and the end of November 1975. [More…]
I think it is generally accepted that man needs at least language and land to establish his identity. [More…]
Unless man establishes his identity he floats in a vacuum between the 2 cultures. [More…]
To me, and I am sure to many people of my race, this is perhaps one of the most exciting and most important measures ever taken with regard to the education of Aboriginal children. [More…]
They have great difficulty when they go into schools which are conducted under the white man’s educational system. [More…]
As any system devised by man must be imperfect in some ways, so is the education system which stems from the Schools Commission legislation and this legislation which is now before the Senate. [More…]
He was a man of exceptionally great strength of character and intellect and of complete and unquestioned integrity. [More…]
I want to say as a colleague that this is a despicable, false and scurrilous piece of scandal picked up after all this delay against a man now deceased for some 10 years. [More…]
What dishonour comes to a man who spreads such scandal, even if he were an ordinary individual member of Parliament, but this comes from a man of some perspicacity who understands the proprieties of Parliament and a man who carries the responsibility of leading the Opposition. [More…]
The second thing is that having served in this Senate with him, I knew him to be an honourable man. [More…]
Having done that, I now come back to the essential matter raised by Senator Wriedt, namely, that a man who once stood at the front of this Parliament House and described Mr [More…]
In the public gaze and without the privilege of Parliamenttherefore he is not entitled to the protection of Parliament- he defamed a man who is not able to defend himself and whose defence must be left to those who lived with him. [More…]
First of all, we reject the defamation of the character and quality of a man whom many of us lived with and knew. [More…]
All it can do is to point out in the privacy and collegiality of the Senate that the man who stood on a platform in Townsville at the end of last week and defamed the late senator is a liar and a cheat. [More…]
The fact is that the parent State from which this honourable man comes was governed by an element of the Australian Labor Party which changed the law of that State to prevent people from making declarations of defamation of the order and quality to which Mr Whitlam addressed himself in Townsville last week. [More…]
There is no recourse left to people of my order and nature who sit on your right, Mr President, except to defend in the public gaze the character and quality of a man who once sat in this place- and who sat where Senator Withers is now sitting- a man whose capacity, honesty and integrity were beyond reproach. [More…]
We are forced in these circumstances to defend him not against Senator Bishop, Senator O’Byrne or Senator Cavanagh or any of these people who are now sitting in this place but against the allegations and defamations of a man who sits in another place and relies on the privilege and protection of the Parliament that the House of Representatives can accord to him. [More…]
And what of the gift directed not to the man but, say. [More…]
There is no uniform answer in Western countries: But the Americans now put strict limits on corporate political contributions; the British are more lenient so long as presents are within reason and in public view; and the Italians find it quite normal, if not quite legal, that major companies operate vast slush funds hidden from the public, and the tax man too. [More…]
1 have nothing but feelings of disgust at the attack made by the Leader of the Opposition (Mr E. G. Whitlam) upon the character and the integrity of this man, an attack made without one tittle of evidence to support it. [More…]
He made a false and scurrilous attack upon a dead man, a man who cannot defend himself. [More…]
These are the tactics of a cowardly and despicable man, and his own words condemn him. [More…]
I remember when in this place he attacked a Democratic Labor Party senator from Tasmania over housing without one tittle of evidence to support the charge. [More…]
I merely rose to defend the honour and integrity of a former colleague of mine, a fellow Western Australian, a man who served with great distinction in this Parliament. [More…]
This man said in Townsville that a former Minister of this place, a man who has been dead for about 10 years, was a corrupt Minister. [More…]
I do not think there is one of them who is prepared to get up tonight and echo the words of their Leader in another place, that a man who served in this Parliament, a man with whom many of them served and knew as I knew him, was a corrupt Minister. [More…]
If you cannot produce it I will say to you: ‘You are a dishonest man’. [More…]
I say to honourable senators opposite that their Leader in another place has made an allegation in public that a former Leader of the Government in this place, a former Minister of the Crown and colleague of some honourable senators in this place was a corrupt man. [More…]
Who was the man who originally made the accusation? [More…]
I do not believe any honourable senators opposite will stand up and say that the late Senator Paltridge was a corrupt man. [More…]
I believe he was a very honourable man. [More…]
I would be amazed if any evidence could be produced to show that the late Shane Paltridge was anything but an honest man. [More…]
I believe that he carried out his duties in this chamber in a very sincere and dedicated manner. [More…]
In those circumstances, I very much regret that the former Prime Minister, now the Leader of the Opposition, should make this charge against a man who has been deceased for a number of years. [More…]
Therefore, I am very sorry to know that the Leader of the Opposition has lowered himself to make those charges in public about a man who has passed on. [More…]
I think, in the hearts and minds of us who are decent citizens, we do not like to see a man who has passed on being attacked. [More…]
A deceased man does not have an opportunity to defend himself. [More…]
Here again, we have a man who has a wife and family. [More…]
I think that to drag up things for which a man has paid the penalty makes him re-live the murky past and causes distress to his wife and his relatives. [More…]
Under these circumstances, I think that we are not justified in raking things up about this man who has already paid the penalty. [More…]
With all deference to a man I never knew- I was not in the Senate at the time he was a Minister- I point out that 2 years ago at a Senate inquiry I was viciously assailed by an individual and to the discredit of this Senate and that Committee, nobody defended me. [More…]
I have in my possession a number of documents from the Polonia Club in Sydney comprising members of the Polish community and also a letter from a man who was program director, Brian White. [More…]
To the credit of Mr McGinty, he dealt with them in a very courteous manner. [More…]
Sergeant Holmwood appealed to the elders on many occasions to take home particular Aboriginals who were drunk and to bring them back to the station next morning because, in accordance with white man’s law, they were deserving of punishment for their behaviour. [More…]
It seems to me that there is an anomaly in the fact that the man who was a member of the DFRB Fund paid his money to that fund on the understanding that the pension would go to his wife, whether it was his first or his second wife. [More…]
I have not been a member of the DFRB scheme and have not studied it very closely but I hope that somewhere along the line the pension of the man who joined, whose wife died, who took another wife and left the forces would not be lost on the desert air. [More…]
I am quite sure that the Australian people would be eager to see and to hear interviews with a man such as Solzhenitsyn who must be one of the most courageous men of massive integrity alive in the world today and also one of the great fighters for freedom. [More…]
Can the Minister tell the Senate what is involved in any additional help for pensioners that might be contained in the publications or are the booklets an example of the Government using public money to engage in propaganda warfare because there is concern in Government ranks that its message is not getting across to the ordinary man in the street? [More…]
He set out quite clearly the need for the Maritime College to train officers and other men who will man our ships in the future. [More…]
It is equally important that if we are to produce an efficient fishing industry capable of competing around our own shores with the Japanese, the Russians, the Taiwanese and others who fish here, we must produce the men with the knowledge and skill to efficiently man those modern vessels. [More…]
Although it may appear that the provision of post office boxes would save in costs and convenience, the post man still generally needs to pass the boxholder’s premises to deliver to neighbouring households or business premises. [More…]
The Committee is serviced by a top legal man from outside the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
If man does not understand the workings of nature and then does not learn to work and live within the bounds of nature, we will find that this planet, once bristling with such a variety of life forms, will become a dead and dormant place. [More…]
Are we to accept the philosophy from here on, that those areas of public expenditure which benefit all sections of the community are to be cast aside and we are to revert to the ‘every man for himself philosophy of the Workers Party, for example? [More…]
Are people to be treated as numbers and not as human beings? [More…]
If this is allowed to go on indefinitely we will become a society in which it will be a case of ‘every man for himself and ‘if you cannot keep up with the rat race, you miss out’. [More…]
Another aspect which took the political commentators a little while to recognise- it was recognised after a couple of days- is that the Government has given some measure of recognition to the role of the woman in the one-income family where there are 2 parents. [More…]
Since family allowances are paid to the woman, it is income for her. [More…]
Since the tax rebate is paid to the man in all those cases, it is a loss of income for him. [More…]
This is particularly important in the case of the many families in Australia where young children are being reared and where the wife and mother decides that the best role she can play, in relation to the welfare of her family, is to remain at home and not go out into the work force. [More…]
I am glad that the Government did not just chose to increase the dependant’s allowance but to give some recognition to the meaningful role played by the woman in this situation by introducing the family allowances system. [More…]
As Mr Wran so aptly put it last evening, if Mr Fraser believes his policy and if by wage indexation and tax indexation his objective is to put more money into the hands of the consumer, the trade unionist, the man in the street and the purchaser, it would be wrong for State Premiers to institute a new form of State taxation because that would take money out of the pockets of those people. [More…]
It is Friedmanism to a point of absurdity. [More…]
The plain fact is that the taxation rebate is worth nothing to the man on $100 a week because he is non-taxable anyway. [More…]
Yet Senator Gietzelt had the temerity to say that a man with 10 children would be worse off under this scheme. [More…]
Even in those days the person who did not contribute was like the man who drives an uninsured motor car. [More…]
The man on $ 100 a week will be no worse off. [More…]
He is a wealthy man and can afford to pay a thousand dollars a year in some club. [More…]
But many thousands of people in this country had no cover at all and died as a result because they could not afford medical treatment. [More…]
I know that my colleague Senator Robertson is most upset about it, and I hope that the Country Party senator and that man in the other place affectionately known as Silent Sam will also be heard to protest on this occasion. [More…]
Let me read to honourable senators what Mr Bob Ellicott, now the Attorney-General but then the shadow Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, said in a telegram which he forwarded to many Aboriginal leaders and to all Aboriginal communities at the taxpayers’ expense. [More…]
It is a tribute to his integrity, it is a tribute to his ability as a man, and it is a great tribute to the Aboriginal people. [More…]
I know both of the Nicholls very well indeed, and they can cope much more completely and with much greater dignity than many people on the other side ofthe chamber. [More…]
In the last 3 years of Labor Government the Aborigines, for the first time in this country, were treated as human beings. [More…]
I ask honourable senators to compare this with the average cost of $40,000 for a white man’s home. [More…]
I think it is a disgrace that we should be forced to listen to attempts to denigrate a man who has risen to the top in his community and found his way into the Parliament of this Commonwealth. [More…]
The family man, the working man, has found that his wage cannot buy the goods that it used to buy. [More…]
In many cases it was found that one income in the family was insufficient. [More…]
In many thousands of cases this has meant tensions and pressures within the family. [More…]
In many cases we have seen not only a breakdown between the husband and the wife but also the effects of these tensions and pressures on the children. [More…]
The Town Clerk is a very cautious man. [More…]
A Carlingford man recently wrote to the council stating that Strathfield was fortunate to have the Homebush Bay area within its boundaries. [More…]
Leyland National and MAN buses have also been designed with a low step to facilitate access. [More…]
The MAN buses have a vertical stanchion on every second seat to facilitate movement of the handicapped. [More…]
Yesterday, in response to questions asked of a Minister in another place about the suggestion by organisations that Medibank could well cost a family man another $10 a day and, in addition, that many officers of the health benefit societies would be dismissed, the Minister stated that the position was still obscure and that he could not tell people about it. [More…]
In addition to all the cuts the Government has made, it has also introduced many innovations. [More…]
It gives them the opportunity to go ahead with taxpayers money and do many things for which perhaps they would not be able to get legislative agreement in the Parliament. [More…]
The attitude of many people was: Inflation is costing us x per cent this year. [More…]
We have got a percentage increase in our wages of that much, but because we have moved into a higher tax bracket the tax man is getting so much of our wages. [More…]
So further wage demands were made until we reached a situation where wage demands were far greater than the country’s productivity. [More…]
-I point out to Senator Wright, who is always interrupting, that that very man will be a Liberal candidate in the next State election. [More…]
He had played Churchill to the Australian people, promising them blood, toil, tears and sweat, playing the tough man, only to find that the net result was that he was undermining consumer confidence. [More…]
Many people like him; many more probably do not. [More…]
But I do not think there is any significant art critic anywhere in the world who would not acknowledge that Jackson Pollock was one of the most significant and important painters in the history of painting, a man who had a tremendous impact on the whole development of art. [More…]
It is a prime example of how Australia lives in isolation and establishes a tariff barrier to increase production in one of the most inefficient industries in the world in terms of output per man and price per vehicle. [More…]
This man served in the Second World War as a fighter aircraft pilot and after the War he engaged in the fishing industry. [More…]
So not only is he very sensitive to weather patterns so far as his flying activities are concerned, but this is combined of course with his interest in the safety of his crews and his equipment in the pursuit of this industry which is a very important one to Tasmania. [More…]
I believe that this is borne out by the fact that we have international operators in those waters to the west, south and east coasts of Tasmania. [More…]
However, there were enough men who had enough faith in the wool industry and enough faith that wool was the best fibre that man would ever know, and who stuck by the industry. [More…]
We have every sympathy for the man who lives on his farm and who produces on the farm. [More…]
It relates to a woman who has been sacked because of her inability to work following an accident. [More…]
The woman is the family breadwinner and she applied for sickness benefits. [More…]
She has been refused benefits by the Minister’s Department until such time as she is visited by ‘ a man ‘ from the Department to see whether she is really the breadwinner. [More…]
Such a degree of strike activity and force of monopoly power was brought to bear on the waterfront in 1972 that one of the concessions that the employers had to make was that no more applications should be made by employers to declare employees redundant; that henceforth a man on the waterfront payroll could be declared redundant only upon his own application. [More…]
I mention that fact because out of the system of permanent employment has come general dissatisfaction on all hands. [More…]
When the stevedoring industry charge was first imposed in 1956 it was at the rate of 6d a man hour. [More…]
Today it is at the rate of $4 a man hour. [More…]
The document refers then to the three or four very vexatious problems that have arisen as a direct consequence of the permanent employment situation. [More…]
It refers to the man hours lost through unauthorised stoppages, which have been quite colossal. [More…]
However, one provision in this Bill does give me concern in that it perpetuates, at least until 1 January 1977, charges that are based on man hours and not on tonnage rates. [More…]
Quite obviously, any levy that is based on man hours is likely to decline in importance. [More…]
In those circumstances, it would have been quite obvious that the recommendation made last year for the change of the basis of the levy from man hours to tonnage would have gone some way towards overcoming that problem. [More…]
He recommended that the funding of the industry be on a tonnage and not a man hour basis. [More…]
I do not know whether Dr Kissinger has suddenly gone soft on communism; but it is strange that that man, who is probably in a better position to speak on these matters than anyone else, is prepared to make a statement as clear as that. [More…]
The only grapes put into the pool that was established by the South Australian Labor Government was by Mr Priest who was the man who had made a lot of noise. [More…]
I think he is Chairman of the South Australian Wine Grapegrowers Association in South Australia. [More…]
Australian experts do not regard cheese as being associated with a significant risk of salmonella in man. [More…]
The main sources of human infection with this organism are meats and meat products, including poultry. [More…]
My Department with the assistance of the CSIRO has recently completed a survey of the association of cheese with organisms causing food poisoning in man both in Australia and overseas. [More…]
1 ) Is the Minister aware of claims made in the Melbourne Age of 3 May 1976 by a Melbourne man, Mr Ron Gordon, that letters from Rhodesia to Australia are being opened and that pro-Rhodesian literature is put in them; if so, has the Minister, or his Department, undertaken an investigation into this matter to ascertain whether any literature was placed in the letter sent to Mr Gordon in Australia or elsewhere. [More…]
-Is the Minister for Science aware that there is a report by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in the United States of America to the effect that water hyacinth may be nature’s answer to man’s sewerage pollution problem as it has been shown to be able to absorb pollutants from sewerage and literally to clean the water? [More…]
I know of a case where a relatively young man, an unskilled labourer on approximately $100 a week clear, has been left with 3 children, two under school age. [More…]
There is nothing in any of the Bills which have come before the Senate from this Government which has made provision for a man in such a position to be able to employ a housekeeper and to pay a housekeeper to live in and to look after his children. [More…]
Think of the child care services that should be given so that young mothers going to hospitals to have their new babies can go with some peace of mind rather than wondering how on earth they are going to manage while they are in hospital. [More…]
Think of people in the outer suburbs of the large cities of this country who in this day and age when we can put a man on the moon do not have sewerage connected to their homes and have to worry about all the things that worry young mothers with small children when they do not have sewerage systems. [More…]
It was stupid for a man to pick out a girl who worked for the equivalent of Medibank in Yugoslavia- I think this is very appropriate in view of the issues we have dealt with tonight- and who was a public servant in Yugoslavia. [More…]
I am one of those who say that a woman, like a man, has a right to lead her own life. [More…]
It is ironical that whilst the need for trained staff to man creches and child-care centres is recognised, the need for vocational and in-service training for mothers is ignored. [More…]
The traditions of child-care and domestic management formerly passed on within the security of an extended family circle are now frequently entirely lost. [More…]
Albert Monk was a man who, when asked 6 months before he retired from the presidency of the ACTU what he would like to be done in the social welfare area and what would be his priority, said an increase in child endowment. [More…]
Albert Monk was a man who knew human nature. [More…]
He knew what many of us would do with the money each week. [More…]
I am sure that there are many women in Australia who are very grateful to him for that suggestion. [More…]
There is no other phrase that can describe this man. [More…]
This man encouraged the invasion of a country which, for the first time in its contemporary history- since 25 April 1974- had the opportunity to enjoy some of the fruits of democracy and self-determination and to run its own affairs free of the colonial overlord that had held sway in the region for some 400 years. [More…]
This man condones the murders and the atrocities that are taking place in that part of the world. [More…]
President Suharto is a man whom I respect and whom I admire the stand he has taken against Communism right from the very beginning. [More…]
I am pleased that Senator Wright is in the chamber because he is a man with a long and distinguished interest in matters constitutional and I raise this next matter as a senator from Western Australia. [More…]
The time has certainly come when members of the same political Parties as Mr Bjelke-Petersen and members of the Party which support himthat is members of the Liberal Party and of the National Country Party of Australia- and who may have found it useful in the past to use him as a hatchet man should repudiate in the clearest terms this parliamentary maverick, this man who has the ethics and attitudes of a thug and the demeanour of a buffoon. [More…]
-Mr President, you may recall that at question time this morning I raised the subject of the appointment of the second Family Court judge for Tasmania. [More…]
I hope that the Senate will forgive me for rising at this late stage- I do not propose to pursue the subject at any great length- and taking the opportunity to raise the matter, which is of quite considerable concern in Tasmania at the present time and has received some prominence in today’s Press. [More…]
The situation is that after we passed the Family Law Bill into law the proposal was for the appointment of 2 judges in Tasmania, one to be located in the southern part of Tasmania- in Hobart- and a second to be appointed to serve the area of northern Tasmania and the north-west of Tasmania. [More…]
In due course a very eminent man of the law in Tasmania was appointed as the first Family Court judge in the southern part of the State. [More…]
In fact, I think it was suggested in one newspaper in Tasmania today that the second appointment would be made within a couple of days. [More…]
Of course, the situation now is that, with the great amount of work that must be undertaken by the sole judge in Tasmania, he is grossly overworked. [More…]
I do not believe that under the circumstances we could possibly obtain the best services from that man despite his eminence in this area of the law. [More…]
Although I am not a man versed in the law, I am sure that there would be on the shoulders of the person undertaking duties in this area of the law responsibilities that go beyond those one normally would expect to find in other forms of litigation. [More…]
I quote those words of the late Sir Owen Dixon merely to indicate that back in 1953 there was an awareness by an eminent man of the law of the necessity for a court to involve itself with the social and economic consequences of the judgments that it made. [More…]
Jack Maddox, the Secretary and an extremely honourable man said: ‘It is out of my hands. [More…]
We know the rank and file man. [More…]
The senior electoral officer was adamant that nominations had to be in at noon on a given day. [More…]
The capacity of a man with the ability to make it was exemplified in the early 1960s in the ballot for the national secretary of the Waterside Workers Federation of Australia. [More…]
Mr Chairman, I shall comment, as I did yesterday, very briefly on the general question of the Loan Council, the loan agreement and the National Debt Sinking Fund. [More…]
There is a very useful book written by a man called Gilbert called The Loan Council, issued by The Federal Financial Relations Group of the Australian National University, which I helped to get started. [More…]
Not only was his public contribution one of great distinction and lasting value, but also he was a man of integrity and enormous common sense. [More…]
He was the kind of man who imparted stature to the institutions he served. [More…]
Lord Casey was a liberal in the full sense- a man of progressive instincts, not fearful of change. [More…]
While those 3 phases of his long career stand out, he filled many other posts with distinction. [More…]
He was, for instance, Treasurer as Australia recovered from the Depression, and during the Second World War he was the man selected by Winston Churchill as Minister to the Middle East, with a seat in the British War Cabinet. [More…]
I suggest that Lord Casey was a man of a noble cast of mind, which is important. [More…]
The soldier was an ex-serviceman of the First World War and a soldier settler. [More…]
I think Lord Casey, as I knew him, would have been the last man to claim exceptional intellectual brilliance; but, as was hinted by Senator Withers, I think he fulfilled Thomas Carlyle ‘s definition of genius, namely an infinite capacity for taking pains. [More…]
A younger generation of members who sit not only in this Senate chamber but also in another place will little understand the life of this notable man and will little know how much the men and women of this country owe to men of Lord Casey’s nature. [More…]
The noble Lord- I hope honourable senators will not shrink when I use that phrase with which Lord Casey would be addressed in a House in which he sat in London- had the companionship of a great and notable woman, Lady Casey, who survives him. [More…]
Lady Casey is an artist of quality, a writer of sense and style, an historian of competence and a woman of great style in her cast of mind. [More…]
A man with a strong interest in rural affairs, he was President of the Australian Woolgrowers and Graziers Council from 1962 until he entered the Senate. [More…]
In 1969 his knowledge of the Parliament was respected by his election as Chairman of Committees and Deputy President of the Senate. [More…]
Tom Bull was a practical, down-to-earth man. [More…]
His common sense was manifest time and again in speeches touching on the Government’s economic management. [More…]
Every wage earner and every salaried man seeks increased payments. [More…]
Laurence Failes was a quiet man, admired for his efficiency in all his pursuits. [More…]
During his term in Parliament he was a member of the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs, a member of the House Committee, a Temporary Chairman of Committees, a member of the Australian delegation to the Inter-Parliamentary Union Conference in Warsaw and a member of the Select Committee on House of Representatives Accommodation. [More…]
He was a warm man who had a gift and an enriched experience throughout his life. [More…]
It was an experience which came from being a man of the land elevated by his long term in parliamentary service. [More…]
To me, as a freshman in this Parliament, Senator Bull was the essence of kindness and generosity. [More…]
That was a measure of the greatness of the man. [More…]
He achieved the positions of Chairman of Committees and Deputy President of the Senate. [More…]
Finally, Mr President, I believe that perhaps the greatest measure of this man was that he was above all things a humble man. [More…]
As a Queenslander I must remind the Senate of George Whiteside, a man who had no aspirations to greatness but who, in his time, achieved much for his fellows. [More…]
He was for many years- I think some 20 to 24 years- secretary of one of the more important unions in Queensland, the Federated Engine Drivers’ and Firemen’s Association. [More…]
I speak as one who was closely associated with him not only in this Parliament but also for many, many years in primary industry where we worked very closely together. [More…]
Tom Bull was a man who was full of energy and dedication. [More…]
In order really to understand the full measure of the man and his worth in the community one would need to have knowledge of the very considerable contribution that he made to the industrial and political life of this country, which was so capably referred to earlier by my colleague Senator Georges. [More…]
He was as proud of the sport of Australian Rules at the time of his death as he was when he came to Queensland as a young man in the late 1920s. [More…]
He was a man who remained steadfast to the causes in which he believed. [More…]
Did the Manager ban a man from Bamyili because the man refused to drive the Manager home. [More…]
We have comparative figures on the relative output per man employed in our shipyards as against overseas shipyards. [More…]
by leave- I wish briefly to join Senator Withers, Senator Wriedt and Senator Webster in their laudatory remarks concerning the former Principal Parliamentary Reporter, Mr Bill Bridgman. [More…]
I know that, in the 41 years of service that he has given to the Parliament, Bill Bridgman reached the epitome of efficiency and thoroughness in the performance of his work. [More…]
Bill Bridgman did achieve that high honour. [More…]
He is a great man who will be missed in these environs. [More…]
-Coming from a man who looks into a mirror, I do not doubt that those words would be well reflected. [More…]
Apparently, there is no man competent in the parliamentary Labor Party, no man who is better than Mr Hawke. [More…]
As a man in a particular situation he criticises the Corns, to whose policies some members of the parliamentary Labor Party adhere. [More…]
He is a director who demands that every company should disclose its balance sheet, but Mr Hawke does not do that in his affairs. [More…]
The various deals and criticisms of that man are made quite clear in the report of an inquiry which was recently made into ACTU-Solo Enterprises Pty Ltd. [More…]
It was, as I recall, the location for the film The Third Man, which centred around a person called Harry Lime. [More…]
He is the Chairman of the Moscow Amnesty group and a man who has been fighting for years, cheerfully and with courage to keep alive this battle in the Soviet. [More…]
He is a leading scientist and a most eminent man in all respects. [More…]
Points in the final Act relating to human rights have been formulated considerably weaker than the similar articles of other international Conventions, for instance the ‘Common Declaration for Human Rights’. [More…]
Obligations of that kind in the Final Act concerned themselves in the main not with the guarantee of the civil and human rights of the individuals, but with the betterment of the government regulations in the sphere of contacts established between countries and convenient to the State (which automatically put the State with the legally confirmed monopoly on fundamental human rights in a better position). [More…]
Nevertheless, Article VII of Division 1 , and other Articles directly relate to the human rights of man. [More…]
The analysis of the appropriate aspects of the internal policy confirms that the Soviet Government does not intend to carry out its international obligations relating to the human rights of man. [More…]
All this taken together, has compelled the Soviet Government, already concerned about the form of their prestige in the West at the end of 1 975 and beginning of 1 976, to make concessions in regard to individuals who are well known abroad and persecuted for their convictions (for greater detail please see next chapter) and to some degree to slowdown the obvious offensive on the human rights of man in the U.S.S.R., which had begun prior to the European Conference, was toned down during the Conference and unfolded immediately after the Conference. [More…]
There is no need to explain such two-faced explanation of the Helsinki Declaration, whose humanitarian Articles are directed towards liberation of emigration policy, which is supported and confirmed by the members of the Helsinki Conference, to act in conjunction with the aims and principles of the Declaration of Human Rights and the pact of civil and political rights in which there is a definite confirmation of every man to leave any country including his own. [More…]
The chairman of the Helsinki group is Dr Jun Orlof, a man of great scientific achievement, a man who, of course because of these human rights activities, now has no job. [More…]
He is also the Acting Secretary of Amnesty in Moscow and a great fighter for human rights. [More…]
Another, A. Ginsburg, is a person well known as a human rights fighter. [More…]
Grigovenko- a man who has suffered for his convictions. [More…]
Since the Czechoslovakian invasion in 1 968 when he was arrested he has been placed in a psychiatric hospital, quite wrongly of course, but he was later released, He is a man who has fought consistently for human rights. [More…]
These 9 men have prepared this document in which they set out, among other things, the conclusion that, the Soviet Union does not intend to carry out its international obligations relating to the human rights of man and refer, to Article VII. [More…]
While he has been there another man whose name I have brought to Amnesty from the Soviet Union is Pavel Bashkirov a man who travelled to Jakutsk to see the exiled Amnesty secretary. [More…]
He was a physicist, a man of great experience, but now working on an electric saw. [More…]
Since he saw Tverdoklebov, this man, Bashkirov has been arrested and his friends do not know what has happened to him. [More…]
The great man who leads and inspires these groups. [More…]
I had a conversation with Brigadier Grenville, a very fine soldier and a man who is fairly realistic in these matters. [More…]
It culminated in Eastern Command providing me, long before Senator Withers’ time, with a helicopter to survey the Holsworthy area near Sydney and also the Singleton area to see where the Army could go if it vacated the Moore Park area. [More…]
I refer to the fact that under section 1 10 of the Social Security Act sickness benefit for a man can be paid irrespective of his wife’s income but that sickness benefit is not payable to a wife if it is reasonably possible for her husband to maintain her. [More…]
Here was a man who had stated to us as members of the Senate Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and Defence that he was prepared to talk with the Government. [More…]
Moreover, before I left the island I gave Dixon, his manager, the address of the solicitors in Sydney who put together the terms of compensation calling for the payment of, I think, $4.5m or f 4.5 m- I forget the exact details at the momentfor the acquisition of the Arawa estate. [More…]
In this way at least the man who was entitled to justice of one sort or another could get access to technical and legal advice to enable him to protect himself against the action of the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia acting under the foreign power of section 5 1 of the Constitution. [More…]
There was no magic about the Attorney-General being the man to administer the trade practices legislation. [More…]
He sounded like the typical drowning man going down for the third time, defending the policies of a hopeless Government. [More…]
I quote those few extracts to point out the identical urgencies and priorities seen 12 months ago by Mr Hayden and today by Phillip Lynch, the man who, I believe, will win a place in history as the Treasurer who set in motion Australia’s economic revival. [More…]
A man who defamed a teacher publicly and blamed his outrage on the heat of the Bass by-election campaign is not fit to lead a party or to be trusted with the nation’s secrets. [More…]
That such a view could be held by a man in his position speaks volumes for the ineptitude of the Labor Party. [More…]
How plausible is it to the man in the street to whom the Labor Leader promised without qualification or hedging in his 1972 policy speech that Labor’s first priority would be to restore genuine full employment? [More…]
As a package, the Budget will succeed in imbuing confidence into the man on the land for the first time in 3 years. [More…]
I remind the Australian consumer of what the Labor Government did to the cost of petrol, beer and cigarettes, and in so doing proving that it was not a working man’s government at all. [More…]
The Labor Government benefitted the public servant and in many ways benefitted the politician, but for the private individual there was very little benefit indeed. [More…]
One man said he had been warned: ‘You had better move on or you will get 3 months’. [More…]
He apparently believes that it is an important matter to prop up the shipbuilding industry although there is already a subsidy of the order of $9,000 per job in the shipyard and to keep it in business that subsidy would have to rise to the order of $13,000 per man. [More…]
This is nowhere more manifest than in the cuts made to the Australian Broadcasting Commission. [More…]
These were very vulgar and impossible questions to ask a man like Mr Fraser. [More…]
These were the sorts of questions which, had they been answered, might have prevented the people of Australia having to face up to the high level of unemployment and the consequences of the mismanagement of this Government which they are now having to face. [More…]
He was a good Labor man. [More…]
In fact, it would not offset the losses that have been incurred pursuant to the decline in the price being obtained for manufactured dairy products over the last 12 or 18 months. [More…]
Perhaps it is fortunate, given that this man is currently the major economic strategist, if one could dignify his pontifications with that term, or the person who imposes economic policy upon this Government, that section 92 of the Constitution would almost certainly spike his plan in any case. [More…]
I concede freely to the Government that this is a very difficult time for governments in the area of economic management. [More…]
However, it also seems unfortunate that at this time Australia’s economic policy seems to be dictated by a Prime Minister whose obsession with deficits is equalled only by his failure to understand the true meaning of a deficit, a man who does not understand the concept of a deficit and appears to know nothing about the concept of money supply or to have any interest in it. [More…]
We believe that government has to be regarded as the basic security agent for people against exploitation whether it be of man or materials, yet Mr Whitlam ‘s clear indication of his idea and the Labor Party’s idea of the role of government was such that it was to be not only the owner but also the director of man and materials. [More…]
How can people have resort in a ballot box when one man can throw the people’s elected government out of office and elect a man as Prime Minister of Australia and retain him after a vote of no confidence in that man has been passed in the people’s House of the Parliament of Australia? [More…]
Her protection is in the lock-up devices and the ability of one man to act contrary to the wishes of the people of Australia. [More…]
They are being provoked by the actions of a man who is not liked by the greatest democratic section of the community, who parades himself and purposely attends functions to attract such demonstrations. [More…]
Ego and psyche were firmly centered in the spiritual and mundane aspects of purposeful living and each person was able, with confidence, to meet the demands and responsibilities of existence. [More…]
In every area of his being, a man knew his capabilities and his boundaries, accepted the discipline of his tribe, felt the security of that discipline and knew his total being in harmony with the land of his Dreaming. [More…]
Dependency upon the white man for food and basics became widespread at the same time as the psychlogical barrage ‘primitive’, ‘dirty’, ‘like apes’- continued. [More…]
‘Good blacks’ survived, so they had to learn due subservience and take whatever the white man handed out whether in terms of inadequate rations, sermons about pie in the sky when you die, or sparkling new policies variously designed to help them to die off, join the herd and so on. [More…]
I have some knowledge of the building trade, and it became obvious to me that he was a man who knew the building industry. [More…]
This man was complaining that before he could do anything, before he could order materials, he had to get the architect’s approval; it had to come down here; it took months and months. [More…]
It is pretty strange for a man who was a senior Minister in the previous Government, which created that unemployment, to accuse this Government of using unemployment as a weapon. [More…]
We hear most astonishing statements about gross extravagances, inefficiency and white men leading the black man to death. [More…]
He kept on putting up the tax, increasing it by hundreds of per cent, when we were appealing to this man and to the State Government. [More…]
In this Budget we also see a reduction in estate duties, and this will be of great benefit to the man on the land. [More…]
The need to insure is as great as ever today for the man on the land and for other people. [More…]
I have to choose my words carefully because I do not know whether the gentleman to whom I intend to refer is still in this world. [More…]
Alfred Cornwallis Patterson was a man who, in the 1930s, stood unsuccessfully as a candidate for my party. [More…]
This gentleman always used to argue about the common good. [More…]
I believe that either Mr Eric Robinson who is a Queenslander, or Mr Newman, who is a Tasmanian, should depute Senator Carrick, myself and Senator Douglas McClelland to have a look around that area. [More…]
Mr Deputy President, because Mr Higgins is an honourable and reputable citizen of this country, an ethical solicitor practicising his profession in this city, a man of very high repute, I feel I should give him the opportunity of putting on record his statement of the matter. [More…]
I have information concerning the man, Mr Boyle. [More…]
It is true that, on the evidence, the man misrepresented his qualifications and has retired from the office. [More…]
In one case the doctor is already a very wealthy man. [More…]
As a Tasmanian representative I would like to comment particularly on some of the items which I consider of importance to Tasmania. [More…]
We have to remember that Tasmania regrettably has the lowest average income and the lowest net growth rate of any State in Australia. [More…]
The Premier was a very greatly respected man and we are all pleased to see that he has now been appointed to the position of Chairman of the States Grants Commission. [More…]
As Tasmanians we are desparate. [More…]
Still, one day we will put Tasmania back on the map. [More…]
This man and his father had a 100-acre property and 2lh years ago they decided to expand. [More…]
Anyone who is looking for a man to work for wages will first go for the farmer who is on relief. [More…]
I am surprised that a well-read man like Senator Lajovic had not spoken too. [More…]
I realise of course that there are some restraints, allegedly, on overseas travel at the moment but I believe that a quick trip around the Scandianavian countries, West Germany, Holland, Austria, Israel, England and New Zealand would reveal that there are plenty of countries which have had democratic socialist governments on and off, sometimes on for a long time, such as in the case of Sweden. [More…]
I realise that in her family the car comes from Germany but I point out that the cars of many of her husband’s colleagues come from Sweden. [More…]
As the entire Liberal Party and its policy is dictated by one man, the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser), and as in this country, in this place and at this time that word ‘Liberal’ must be spelt with a large L’- with the crazy political nomenclature we have in this country it should be spelt with a large C for Conservative- we have the most conservative of conservative parties in the Western world today. [More…]
I understood that Senator Keeffe was a man who favoured helping Aborigines. [More…]
What we want to see are many examples of the sort of thing the Prime Minister saw on Monday, examples of projects in which Aborigines are involved and where, because of their involvement and success, there ceases to be problems of drunkenness, neglect and other things. [More…]
The people who actually man those places, who provide the services to the women, do not have the time or the money to come to Canberra to demonstrate. [More…]
The man in the street, whether he is an employee or an employer, has been beset by rapidly increasing living costs, food costs, clothing costs, the cost of a house, the cost of rearing a family, etc. [More…]
Man in the Street Not Hit by Budget. [More…]
As I have said before, this Budget has been described as a Budget of reform, a Budget for the man in the street. [More…]
Among those present was a man, an American, who must have been 80 years of age. [More…]
When the honourable senator talks about wages and prices, I wonder whether he realises that, as late as 1948 when a person signed on before 7.30 in the morning or worked until after midnight, many awards provided for only ordinary rates of payment. [More…]
The honourable member for St George, Mr Neil, told the Croats in Rockdale that everything would be all right and that this man would receive his passport He has not received his passport. [More…]
People such as this man are in the minority. [More…]
I know that many people who have come to Australia from Europe have been labelled in terrible terms. [More…]
My view is that a 9-man tribunal would be able to sift through such cases that came before it. [More…]
No country will extend to a man who, for instance, is a narcotics pedlar or a white-slaver the privileges which other citizens receive. [More…]
The man to whom I referred earlier can go overseas to study with the General Dynamics Corporation. [More…]
If we are going to argue abou: threats from communist powers I should mention that it is significant that one man came out with a statement which defused an issue. [More…]
I do not think he is a man who would espouse left wing causes. [More…]
When we asked them about the pollution of different rivers they said that the law did not demand that they do anything. [More…]
In 1966 one of the first questions I asked was about the Top End national park, and the man who fielded that question was John Grey Gorton. [More…]
That was the original area, but I do not know how many hectares or acres it covers now. [More…]
If a Labor man is appointed to a board, it is said to be a terrible thing. [More…]
Perhaps you’ll remember A. G. W. Greatorex, who used to be president of the superseded legislative council of the Northern Territory and was a good CLP man. [More…]
There’s at least one distinguished member of the accountancy profession resident in Darwin: he ‘s the local man of the auditing international Peat, Marwick, Mitchell. [More…]
He was the brilliant military commander who won the populace to his cause by instilling in his troops a feeling of respect for the ordinary people. [More…]
He was a poet in the classical style and a humane head of a government which was the biggest bureaucracy on earth. [More…]
Throughout his life he remained a man of the people, living simply without the ornate trappings of office. [More…]
It is very significant that this man gave great devotion to whatever task he wished to carry out. [More…]
I can recall that as a trade union official there were many occasions when he was asked to come to Queensland. [More…]
That man was brought before the Bar of this place in an endeavour to discredit the Labor Government and to establish what were termed at that time reprehensible, illegal and extraordinary actions on the part of the Labor Government. [More…]
I should like to place again on record that I believe that my colleagues have destroyed the claims of honourable senators opposite that this Liberal and National Country Party Government was capable of managing the economy of this great country to the extent where every Australian man, woman and child would have a fair share of the wealth of the nation; that this Government would create full employment; and that it would cure inflation. [More…]
Many of them have said to me that in fact they exchanged the substance for the shadow. [More…]
The word would go down the line: Menzies ‘s policy is 50 men waiting at the gate is the best foreman you can get on any job. [More…]
They did not need a foreman because fear was in the minds of the workers that they had better knuckle down or they would be replaced by a man waiting at the gate. [More…]
On the poor old working man again! [More…]
If a Labor man is appointed to a board, it is said to be a terrible thing. [More…]
Many of the appointments which are being discussed today were made in that period. [More…]
I have looked through the records and in fact he is the only member of a political party to be chairman of a board. [More…]
I suggest to the Senate that as Mr Jettner was appointed to the Primary Producers Board on 7 October 1970 and as he was appointed Chairman on 24 March 1971 he is a very dedicated person. [More…]
As Chairman of the Primary Producers Board he has given away his business and devoted himself fulltime to the Board because that is required. [More…]
As we have discussed on many occasions in the Senate, the pastoral industry in the Territory and in Australia is in extreme difficulties. [More…]
The Territory is fortunate to have a man such as Mr Rex Jettner [More…]
It was within this deprived society that I grew up; within these harsh confines of human degradation that I, Neville Bonner, suffered the cruel barbs of discrimination and depravity at the hands of my white brother. [More…]
They are not indigenous in the true definition of the word as they came or, rather, were brought to Australia after colonisation by the white man. [More…]
This rampant destruction of our culture, and the socio-economic evils which followed are now indelibly and shamefully inked on the pages of history for all generations to see, a lasting monument to Australian man’s inhumanity to man. [More…]
As our culture was systematically destroyed and the tribal laws and customs which had sustained us for aeons were deliberately eroded, my forefathers were subjected to the white man’s law, laws which were incomprehensible to them and which, in many incidents, were in complete contrast to those which had formerly nurtured them. [More…]
The white man’s law had evolved from custom- European custom- tailored to meet the requirements of the European civilisation and, I stress, a European civilisation that in no single way faintly resembled those codes of conduct which were socially acceptable to my ancestors and to their mode and style of living. [More…]
But he is a very persistent man. [More…]
Sir Henry Bland said in August that he did not see himself as being cut out for this job but the Prime Minister was a very persistent man and insisted on his taking it. [More…]
Let me make it quite clear that when I criticise the Chairman of the ABC I do so in this context: I share his view expressed to the Prime Minister earlier this year that he was not cut out for the job. [More…]
In other words, he is crystallising this matter by saying that the whole threat to the independence, the integrity and the high repute of the Australian national broadcasting service rests on the appointment of the new Chairman. [More…]
It is a pretty poor reflection on all the other commissioners whom the Labor Party appointed that one man and one man’s ideas can outride the others. [More…]
The past takes on a saintly attitude when he recites one by one the 3 1 post-war years and suggests that never before have there been in public any incidents, any trouble about the ABC, any queries on programs, any queries about the action of a commissioner or of a chairman of the Commission. [More…]
There has never been a year in the whole history of the Australian Broadcasting Commission, and quite rightly so, in which there has not been public inquiries, public discussions, public controversies about some action of the Commission or of the Chairman of the Commission. [More…]
In those 23 years, according to Senator Button, those governments of Liberal faith respected the high integrity of the Chairman and the high integrity of the Commission. [More…]
Apparently they have more stature than the man who is Chairman today. [More…]
The whole thrust of his speech was that Sir Henry Bland was inadequate for the position and was not a man of balance judgment. [More…]
I recall a very great Labor man of the past- Albert Monk- one of the great Australians, eminent in his generation and any other, saying repeatedly what a great man was Sir Henry Bland. [More…]
Mr Monk said that he was a man of great experience, great judgment, great administrative ability, great objectivity and a man utterly fair in dealing with people. [More…]
Presumably Senator Button would rather rely on Mr Monk’s hapless successor, the man Hawke. [More…]
Unlike Senator Button, Mr Monk- a former and great Labor man- had the highest regard for the eminent capacity of the man whom honourable senators opposite are attempting to vilify today. [More…]
I remind the Senate of Albert Monk’s many tributes to the man in this regard. [More…]
I have listened to Senator Carrick trying to defend the actions of the Chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Commission. [More…]
Then he went on to say that the Chairman of the Commission is responsible to the Commission. [More…]
While Senator Carrick referred to a statement by Sir Henry Bland that the action taken by him was taken after consultation with senior management and after discussion with all commissioners, 1 note that Senator Carrick did not say that Sir Henry Bland said that his action was taken with the approval of senior management and with the concurrence of all commissioners. [More…]
What Sir Henry Bland as Chairman of the Commission did was determine between meetings of the Commission that a series of episodes of a program that had previously been screened were to be taken off the air until further notice. [More…]
That was the decision of one man subject to a further meeting of the Commission which, as the Minister has said, is to be held tomorrow. [More…]
There will always be controversy about censorship and, as Senator Carrick pointed out, not just censorship by the ABC in all the many forms that that can take, but censorship by the Australian Broadcasting Control Board of the commercial broadcasters and not of the ABC. [More…]
But the hysterical approach of personal attack on a man who cannot answer for himself in here is no sort of debate. [More…]
Apparently Senator Carrick has still not deduced that one of the major complaints of the Labor Party is about the very fact that the ABC, under its present Chairman, is currently under one-man rule. [More…]
Certainly, no one would accuse Sir Henry Bland, the man appointed by the present Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) to head the ABC and to clean it up, as Senator Withers puts it, of being insensitive to political thought and action. [More…]
This was the man appointed by the present Prime Minister to review and make recommendations upon the activities of government regulatory agencies. [More…]
He had some arguments about the budget of the Commission but he then went on to say that the Chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Commission, Sir Henry Bland, had himself defended the Commission after cuts were made. [More…]
He went on to devote most of his time to an attack not on the Government but on Sir Henry Bland himself, a man who has been an eminent public servant and a man who only recently took over as Chairman of the ABC. [More…]
He put the point of view that because Sir Henry Bland had spent much of his life in the Public Service he was disqualified in some way from serving as Chairman of the ABC. [More…]
This attack has been an attack for the jugular vein, not the jugular vein of this Government or of the Commission but that of the Chairman of the Commission. [More…]
It has been nothing more nor less than an attack under the protection of parliamentary privilege upon a man outside the Parliament who cannot properly defend himself. [More…]
We have appointed a-Chairman and we expect that Chairman to get on and do his job. [More…]
We do not think it proper for the Australian Labor Party and for senators like Senator Justin O’Byrne to speak in the Senate and to attempt to denigrate this man or to attempt to intimidate or to indicate to other commissioners how they should or should not act when in due course they hold their meeting and make their decisions on the affairs of the Commission. [More…]
-As the debate in the chamber tonight seems to have been used as a target against one man I remind the chamber that the urgency motion we are discussing is: [More…]
If there is a State or national chairman of selectors in cricket who has been a medium or fast bowler we will find that his teams do not go in for leg spinners for a while. [More…]
I have nothing against the man personally but if he believes- and I think he does- that Mad Dog Morgan and Ben Hall are rubbish and he does not like them culturally, we will find the pruning axe being used on them. [More…]
I do not want to say any more about the Chairman although I do want to take the loose head off Senator Baume on the question of expenditure. [More…]
Appointed as chairman was Jim Bayutti, a very prominent man in Sydney. [More…]
Many of us are still having matters referred to us and we are channelling them to the ABC and to the Minister for Post and Telecommunications (Mr Eric Robinson), but as yet we do not know our fate. [More…]
I can assure honourable senators that they live in dread of the Minister for Transport, Mr Peter Nixon, because he is a revengeful man and makes no bones about that fact. [More…]
I believe that Sir Henry Bland is a conservative man, and I do not mean this disparagingly. [More…]
In addition, Senator Button did not quite have the courage to go on, although he did tend to refer to Sir Henry Bland’s fine public record in this community over many, many years as perhaps a past which was a fable. [More…]
But he did not proceed so far as did courageous senators like Senator Walsh and Senator Ryan who attacked and derogated from the actual public performance as a public servant of this man who has served his country for many years on a public platform where things were known, where activities were known by the people and where in fact those activities were judged to be suitable and desirable. [More…]
Senator Walsh was concerned because we criticised his abuse of privilege in this House- the fact that he was as determined as his other colleagues to attack the Chairman of the ABC who, of course, could not at this time or in this place in any way answer those criticisms. [More…]
This did not stop him from calling the Chairman of the ABC an ipso facto dictator of the ABC who was put there to stifle criticism. [More…]
It must get over the idea that everything is done for a sinister reason and that someone who is appointed to such a position as this- a man who has been an eminent public servant, who has served his country well and who has been on companies and on boards- is appointed only for a sinister purpose. [More…]
Senator Walsh thinks this is bad whereas I would suggest that any person who is chairman of the ABC must obviously be sensitive and understanding of political thought and action. [More…]
I say to Senator Ryan, who was so concerned with the Chairman’s possible political activities, that I do not know of Sir Henry Bland’s political activities. [More…]
Professor Downing, Sir Henry Bland ‘s predecessor who is now deceased, was a man who, in fact, signed the advice for a change of government in 1 972.I do not criticise him. [More…]
The union representatives and the mine management agreed that, if each man put sixpence from his pay packet into a fund, the mine would match this amount of money. [More…]
They then started to build welfare tennis courts, a swimming pool, a golf course, a football field and many other facilities. [More…]
I remember that each man used to get half the cost of painting his house every 5 years. [More…]
In Great Britain a law has been passed to make trade unions the sole negotiators in all contracts between labour and management. [More…]
It will rob the working man of his right to tender his skills and labour to any employer. [More…]
Softwood forests are much more prone to these problems of devastation than are eucalypt forests which have learnt to survive through the normal activities of Australian man against his environment. [More…]
Let me make this clear to the senator from the less populous State who is interjecting that if finance power did not lie with the Senate it would be possible for the other place, by the overwhelming numbers from the States of Victoria and New South Wales, to deny to Queensland- the State which the honourable senator who is interjecting represents- Tasmania and South Australia- the less populous Statesany real and fair share of finance. [More…]
I also remind honourable senators that the Governor-General was appointed by the Labor Government of the day and he was described by the Labor Government of the day as a man eminently equipped in the law, and in constitutional law, to uphold the Constitution of Australia, which he did. [More…]
In view of the earlier response to me during the Estimates Committee discussions in which it was said that such an innovation had to await earlier priorities, which referred to the updating of the publication of all industrial awards, has this latter target been met and will we have more of Commissioner Heffernan ‘s innovations- a man, by the way, who was appointed to that position by the Honourable Clyde Cameron who was Australia’s greatest Minister for Labor- to ensure that this request from ethnic communities is met in full? [More…]
It appears to me as though there is quite a bit of collusion going on in the present Government trying to get credit for Senator Jessop for something in which he was involved in a minor way but in respect of which most of the ground work was done by Labor senators and the Labor member for Grey, a man who knows what is needed up in that area and who put in a tremendous amount of work in assisting Senator Cameron and myself to do what we did. [More…]
Being a man of peace, I am happy to withdraw. [More…]
Both of these latter measures will in the long term greatly assist the family man. [More…]
That statement was made by a man who as Prime Minister next week or the week after will embark upon overseas trip number five for this year. [More…]
Senator Greenwood was replaced by Senator Sir Kenneth Anderson, an able parliamentarian but a man who believed in not rocking the boat. [More…]
But it does appear that if a man chooses to pay the Medibank levy, the $300 family cover, his wife if working will have the $150 levy for a single person deducted from her - [More…]
Presumably he is the man who provides the highest legal advice to the Opposition and, if it ever were returned to governnent, would supply it to that Labor Government. [More…]
During the last weeks I have spoken to many people about health insurance and have found that a fair deal of confusion is abroad. [More…]
I believe also that the man in the street will be pleased to see the Government attempt to rein in expenditure on health, because he realises that there cannot be an entirely free health scheme. [More…]
That is about $100 each year for each man, woman and child. [More…]
He has told us that he is just a Workers Party man who believes that the only function of the Federal Government is foreign affairs and the maintenance of law and orderbut his idea of law and order. [More…]
The Herald’s point is that if a man does not pay the health insurance levy his wife is denied her right to free Medibank insurance, because, as Mr Lynch admits, the rule is that, for exemption from levy to be available to anyone with a family, the family must be covered by private insurance.’ [More…]
A woman, eligible as a taxpayer for free Medibank cover, is denied it because she is married. [More…]
Is it the de facto leader of the Labor movement, Mr Hawke, or the discredited man in the other place who scarcely raises his head above the trenches, the man whose response to out Budget was described so well by the Australian Financial Review as: Labor’s backward grand vision’? [More…]
Is it the man who is so obsessed by his own failure that he cannot give any future or forward direction to his party? [More…]
He is a man who says ‘yes’ or ‘no’. [More…]
But the woman or man who is instituting a divorce case is under no extra obligation to provide for the legal aid of the community. [More…]
Professor Manning Clark is only one man. [More…]
In his answer to the question, the Minister proceeded to give a highly distorted paraphrase of Professor Manning Clark’s article. [More…]
He proceeded to attribute to Professor Manning Clark views which Professor Manning Clark has never expressed. [More…]
Altogether, he succeeded in creating an entirely incorrect and misleading impression of what Professor Manning Clark has said in the article to which reference was being made. [More…]
This is a fascinating situation and the man is not in any way biased! [More…]
He said this: a man dressed in the clothes of a bygone age, dismissed one of the greatest prime ministers this country has ever had . [More…]
I invite the people of Australia to examine my only 2 statements- that Professor Manning Clark has shown himself as a partisan of the Labor Party and that he took part in a meeting with the communist left and the socialist left in support of Mr Whitlam against Sir John Kerr. [More…]
It has nothing whatever to do with whether a man happens to be particularly distinguished in a particular field. [More…]
Senator Ryan made clear that Professor Manning Clark is a man of impeccable academic background, presumably a man of standards and a man who works against the historical background of his craft and who is a living representative of all that history has thought to have taught us. [More…]
In his article in Meanjin, we find this man’s prediction, this professor’s prediction, that history will be distorted and that he does not mind that one little bit. [More…]
What is said by Professor Manning Clark in the article referred to - [More…]
I am offended that a man of his eminence should write this and should accept it without protest. [More…]
What we are criticising is not that the professor has written an article, not that he has not supported us, but it is my view that, in anticipating and encouraging a distorted view of history, Professor Manning Clark has debased his craft, and in so doing he deserves the condemnation that he received yesterday. [More…]
This is a judgment by Senator Carrick in which he denigrates a great man, a man who holds a position in the esteem of Australian academics and a man who, despite the attack by Senator Carrick, will still maintain that position. [More…]
That is the point I started to make, namely, that the whole of the attack on Professor Manning Clark has been a mean, miserable and a very cowardly trick. [More…]
It has been a very cowardly attack on a great man. [More…]
I believe that the defence that has been put up on his behalf here tonight has carried on the best traditions of the Senate of defending a man who is not here to defend himself. [More…]
This attack was made on a man who was not here to defend himself- an attack made in a coward ‘s castle by a coward. [More…]
I commend the honourable senator for her defence of this very great man. [More…]
It seems to me that the very fact that a matter such as that is raised at all in the course of a charge being heard against a man for a criminal offence, shows already a most serious tendency within that country. [More…]
Why should not the chairman of the Indian Socialist Party communicate messages to Willy Brandt or Bruno Kreisky or the general secretary of the Socialist International, the party with which his party is affiliated and with which the Australian Labor Party is affiliated also. [More…]
I have just recently received a letter which was written by Lord Fenner Brockway, a Labor member of the British House of Lords, a man who for many years advocated freedom for India. [More…]
He made the very important statement that one man ‘s wage increase was another man ‘s job. [More…]
Last year that area was responsible for 62 per cent of the total man hours lost. [More…]
The Tasmanian Government has done little for its State. [More…]
I regret that this situation has obtained for many years and has been declining slowly. [More…]
It has been happening for many years but it happens at an accelerated rate when wage demands get ahead of productivity. [More…]
In this regard, I again quote the many people who now are claiming to have said that one man’s rise is another man’s job. [More…]
The honourable senator quoted a statement by the State Secretary of the Building Workers Industrial Union, a man who is an avowed communist, to back up his argument. [More…]
If debate on this conflict of interest continues, I shall continue to come before this place and I shall be able to put forward the exact number of shares that I have been able to uncover that this man holds. [More…]
Perhaps there are many more. [More…]
The Labor Party would love to be able to get rid of this one man who has destroyed it in that State. [More…]
The basic requirements are that a claimant for age pension lived 30 years in Australia and left the country after reaching 60 years of age in the case of a man or 55 in the case of a woman. [More…]
People claiming invalid or widow’s pension respectively must have become permanently incapacitated for work, or widows, in Australia. [More…]
I rise on behalf of Mr Frank Salerno, a reputable businessman in the central western suburbs of Sydney. [More…]
Mr Salerno is concerned about a tourist applicant from a town in Italy who happens to be an alderman. [More…]
This man believes he has substantial enemies in his town. [More…]
His performance- be it in politics or at the Bar- was characterised by an intensity rarely seen and much to be envied. [More…]
He was a passionate believer in causes, a zealous crusader for principles and a man of undisputed courage. [More…]
I had no association with him in the legal world but it is obvious that as a man of the law he was unquestionably a very successful professional practitioner. [More…]
I can always recall former Labor Senator Harry Cant, a member of the Senate Select Committee on Offshore Petroleum Resources of which Ivor Greenwood was Chairman from 9 December 1969, saying to me that Ivor Greenwood was a most competent person on that Committee. [More…]
I remember those hectic days of Vietnam when he so strongly took the Government’s position in the adjournment debate on many nights- a position with which we on this side of the chamber, of course, disagreed. [More…]
The Opposition deeply regrets that a man of his calibre has been struck down as he has. [More…]
I knew Senator Greenwood first as a young man in the University of Melbourne in the late 1940s when the schisms that divided the Australian society were perhaps even deeper and stronger than they are at the moment. [More…]
I had many quarrels with him but without any animosity. [More…]
One knows that one will hear the grating of the ferryman’s keel upon the beach. [More…]
I had thought in a whimsical sort of way that one day the time would come in the Senate when Ivor Greenwood would be passing some valediction on me, but I find myself in the extraordinary and sad situation of marking the death of a man who has died far too young. [More…]
My reply was: ‘Well, thank God for that, because no man is worth two penn’orth of gin unless he has a good woman beside him and now he has decided to marry, and to marry you, there is no limit to the future to which he can aspire and you, as his wife, will accompany him. ‘ [More…]
I went on then to say to the Government Whip that I had a sense of overpressive sadness in an emotional sense that this man had gone from among us. [More…]
I listened to the observations and comments by honourable senators about this quite remarkable man. [More…]
I always found him to be generous in the time that he gave, although I never knew a more hard working man. [More…]
I would like to say a few words about Ivor Greenwood personally and record them at this time because I think I can claim to have known him probably longer than any member of this chamber, to have been his friend for over 30 years and to have been associated with him for so many years of his life, prior to the short period we were together in this chamber. [More…]
Later in the Young Liberal movement, in which I enjoyed a very close association with him for many years, I saw not only his intense interest in politics and political issues and causes for which we fought together for so many years but also his very great enjoyment of social life and sporting life- because he was, all round, a man who was capable of enjoying life and its various aspects. [More…]
For years, before he became a member of Parliament, as an organisation man, he was at all times intensely interested in the Liberal organisation and its future and he worked for it at all times. [More…]
They and other members of his family helped to make him the man he was in the community and the man he was in politics. [More…]
He performed many acts of kindness to people. [More…]
It was not just because he was a political figure that he was liked; he was liked because of the man that he indeed was. [More…]
He was not a man who probably made a lot of money out of the law. [More…]
In all these areas he was a man who worked extremely hard and he earned very great credit from those who were associated with him in the law. [More…]
Ivor Greenwood’s tremendous effort towards the political cause that he supported, which in his view demanded a change of government in the critical days of last November, contributed to the victory that was achieved. [More…]
After an ordeal of 5 months of distress it is only fitting that we pay tribute to him and extend our sympathies to his mother, sister, wife, children and friends in a most genuine spirit of appreciation of a man of superlative worth. [More…]
I found him a very warm, friendly and human person. [More…]
He was a man of great courage and had, I think, one of the nicest and most attractive personalities that one could meet in a man. [More…]
Ivor Greenwood was a Christian man. [More…]
I hope his work in this Parliament and in other fields over the years will always remain as a memorial to the great man that he was, to the great Australian and the great parliamentarian that he was. [More…]
I would like the Senate and his family to know that in the last three or four months, when going around my State, many people asked about Senator Greenwood’s health. [More…]
That truly amazed me until I learned that the people who asked me realised that he was a man who stood for principle, a man who believed that the law should be available to protect the weak from the powerful. [More…]
So many people owe so much to Senator Greenwood’s self-sacrificing dedication. [More…]
Is the Minister able to confirm the reported offer of $5 1/2m for a piece of land near Man’s Beach between Woodside and Yarram in the Gippsland district of Victoria for the establishment of an Omega base? [More…]
I can tell him that at the present time it is $2, 500m, and in any man’s language that is a substantial figure. [More…]
I pointed however to the need for discretion and flexibility in selecting areas for cutting back expenditures, because many areas of private enterprise are dependent on Government contracts. [More…]
There would be a saving in Social Security unemployment benefits, and I hold the view on the grounds of economic considerations and of human dignity and self-respect, that it is preferable for men to be engaged in useful employment rather than to be left idle with their unemployment benefits. [More…]
The challenge which confronts all societies today is to find the answer to the apparent conflict between economic considerations and respect for human values. [More…]
I am not an economist, but I must confess that I am somewhat dismayed at the modern jargon of economistsinputs and outputs, macroeconomics and microeconomicsand the tendency to forget that man, his fulfilment, and his destiny, is what life is all about. [More…]
Maybe in that process, maybe in that melting pot, some progress can be made in the evolution of man’s thinking. [More…]
I must give credit to this man that he has been responsible for the documentation of much of the material on Timor. [More…]
Queensland, has taken the view that the East Timorese are a bunch of communists and, being communists, they are therefore sub-human and anything that is done to them is justified. [More…]
He is a man of experience in that particular area. [More…]
Because Australia did not respond, thousands of innocent people have become the victims of a travesty of justice, a grim example of man ‘s inhumanity to man. [More…]
The honourable senator would know a man in Sydney who is now very old. [More…]
Very prominent men in the British Commonwealth, such as Sir Ralph Wilenski, who rose from a humble railwayman to be the Prime Minister of his country, and Garfield Todd, another very fine man who has an equally fine daughter, were good Rhodesians. [More…]
As Senator Keeffe is an ALP man, what he said the other day received all the publicity in the world. [More…]
This poor old man, now rapidly approaching 80 years of age, clinging to his seat by a slender thread and clinging to his sanity by an equally slender thread, has never been known to make a statement outside the House of Parliament, not even about the weather. [More…]
As chairman of the meeting, I invited them inside and showed them the table at which I had arranged for them to sit. [More…]
I replied: ‘Surely a man of your position doesn’t mind being recorded ‘. [More…]
Mr Cook said: ‘Who gives you authority to be chairman?’ [More…]
My reply: ‘I am chairman of the group who invited Mr Camm and I undertook to do the job’. [More…]
They can deprive a man of his livelihood if he does not toe the trade union line. [More…]
Chief Superintendent Becker is a man against whom nobody could say anything, privately or publicly. [More…]
It is wrong indeed, and of no comfort at all for the people of Queensland who might like a reasonable alternative to the present State Government, that apparently they will be presented with a man in whom the people of Queensland surely could feel only limited confidence since his own organisation clearly has no confidence in him at all in the capacity in which he has recently held office. [More…]
If he is a man of such integrity why does he continue to govern under an electoral dictatorship in which his Party receives fewer votes than the Labor Party but holds VA times as many seats as the Labor Party? [More…]
It strongly suggests to me that the overwhelming majority of Queenslanders reject this man. [More…]
They do not see him as a man of integrity. [More…]
Personnel have been appointed to that Tribunal and a man of great legal eminence has been appointed as its Chairman. [More…]
I simply say again: It is a difficult area as is the area of human rights. [More…]
The Labor AttorneyGeneral introduced 3 different Bills dealing with human rights and was still not able to produce a Bill that he was prepared to proceed with in this Parliament. [More…]
When I discussed the question of a sex discrimination Bill with the Commissioner for Community Relations, Mr Grassby- a Labor appointee and a man who I would have thought had general support on the other side of the chamber- he told me that he was extremely doubtful that at this stage we should be proceeding in that field because of the very great difficulties which are involved. [More…]
I say that there are many areas to which this Government can point with considerable pride where it can show that it is steadily advancing the civil liberties of people around Australia. [More…]
Many were involved in the early exploration of this region. [More…]
They reflect European man’s early contact with Australia. [More…]
Many were involved in the carriage of migrants to this land. [More…]
Many were involved in the vital cargo trade that was first Australia’s lifeline and later essential to its growth and ultimate prosperity. [More…]
Many of the country councils in South Australia meet during daylight hours. [More…]
This deprives many small business people who run their own businesses and many people who are wage earners and who would like, in many cases of which I know, to stand for council and to represent the ratepayers. [More…]
This, to my mind, is depriving perhaps the local government body in South Australia of many people with expertise which they would like to contribute to local government. [More…]
I am particularly concerned about one man business operators and I am particularly concerned about employees who would like to serve on councils. [More…]
When I learned Mr Camm was to visit our District and evaluate the situation, I looked forward to it in the hope we would meet a sincere man of integrity, with a strong responsibility to ensuring a just and considered decision. [More…]
There must be some room to question if this man could have been used by the Company when they would have most needed him. [More…]
As to date this man has made no written contact. [More…]
However through bad management and over capitalising he soon found himself in financial trouble. [More…]
It was quite evident to the farmers who had been in the district, where this man was going to end. [More…]
Only relatively small areas can support man. [More…]
These are the essentials to man’s survival and yet are likely to be destroyed within one 99 year lease of the white race gaining ownership. [More…]
Darra Explorations would continue with clinker from other areas but farm land should be preserved for perpetual production ensuring man ‘s survival. [More…]
No mention was made of the interesting fact that the major offender- the man convicted of growing $20,000 worth of illegal drugs- had by some happy coincidence, avoided going to gaol when his fine was suddenly paid in Cooktown by another person. [More…]
The mother of my son is presently living with another man on the Island and when I went back to Palm, they invited me to stay with them in their home. [More…]
I am a sick man and I have a weak heart condition. [More…]
This man is very fortunate because of that. [More…]
My secretary rang yesterday and he said: ‘This man is in great distress’. [More…]
I fixed the matter up with this man, and the Department of Social Security thought it was in a position to do as I had asked. [More…]
The man is now in great distress. [More…]
What we should be worried about is the inconvenience and the worry that have been caused to people such as the man I have just mentioned. [More…]
They are in the main pensioners, many of them with failing eyesight and many of them living on their own with no one to whom they can turn to get an interpretation of what cover they should have. [More…]
As Mr Menzies used to say, and I well recall hearing him say it when I was a boy, the best foreman you can get on any job is a line of people waiting at the gate for one man’s job. [More…]
I conclude by referring to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which within its list of fundamental freedoms talks about the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community. [More…]
In today’s society man is always searching for ways to reintegrate the arts in society and to associate the public more closely with the cultural life of the community. [More…]
I possibly will ask in the debate on the Estimates why it is necessary to pay a level 5 salary to the general manager for a period of 7 years, a salary of about $30,000 to $33,000-1 am not certain of that figure and perhaps the Minister can give me the exact figure- to supervise the distribution of $ 1 9m and a staff of 1 83 people. [More…]
I refer the Minister to his own department or the Department of Employment and Industrial Relations and suggest that he find out what are the responsibilities of a man or woman in that department on a salary of $30,000. [More…]
Has she seen a report in the West Australian of 27 October of an incident in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, in which an Aboriginal man was set upon and sprayed with white paint by 3 white men? [More…]
I asked: Is the Minister able to confirm the reported offer of $500,000 for a piece of land near Man’s Beach between Woodside and Yarram in the Gippsland district of Victoria for the establishment of an Omega base? [More…]
It seems to me that there is an anomaly in the fact that the man who was a member of the DFRB Fund paid his money to that fund on the understanding that the pension would go to his wife, whether it was his first or his second wife. [More…]
Somewhere along the line someone will have to accept responsibility for the many hundreds of thousands of dollars which have been spent on the project. [More…]
He is a man of considerable standing. [More…]
I cannot think of his name at the moment, but I can well remember his face and many of the contributions he made to the consideration of the problems of Applied Ecology when he came on to the board. [More…]
This man who engineered a reduction in real terms of $ 100m in Federal payments to local government then castigated some local government authorities for increasing their rates by as much as 20 per cent. [More…]
Once again I suppose this is just another demonstration of the audacity ofthe present Prime Minister, a man who engineered a plan to seize power under what the Liberal senators ‘ own colleague Senator Hall described aptly as sleazy circumstances. [More…]
This man who engineered a plan to seize power under sleazy circumstances and who expounded the proposition that whatever could be grabbed should be taken now has the audacity to say to the industrial wing of the labour movement that it ought to make sacrifices for the national good and that it ought to exercise restraint. [More…]
The report suggested that there should be one man from the Department of Aboriginal Affairs and one with a commercial interest. [More…]
I draw the attention of Senator Guilfoyle, the Minister for Social Security and the Minister representing the Minister for Health (Mr Hunt), to the manifestation of certain anomalies or weaknesses in our pension portability scheme. [More…]
The Yugoslav Government’s national health scheme coven this man and his children, but that Government has rightly raised the question about his wife. [More…]
This man gave the best years of his life in heavy industry. [More…]
This proposal is a rag bag of suggestions as to what others should do for Tasmania. [More…]
Mr Neilson says that the Commonwealth should do a lot of things for Tasmania. [More…]
It is a rag bag of what the Liberal Opposition in Tasmania has suggested the State Government should do and a few rather feeble measures which the State Government has actually thought of itself. [More…]
I think one can judge the credibility of the man putting that forward. [More…]
It demands that the Commonwealth bail the State Government out of the problems it has created in Tasmania to a large extent by its own incompetence over the last 39 years. [More…]
He used to sit in your place, Mr President, and upbraid people in this Senate if they did not give a fair hearing to a man on his feet. [More…]
It has been canvassed many times in the public newspapers and inside this Parliament that to build a ship in Australia costs $ 1 1 , 000 per man employed in the shipyards. [More…]
I have heard dockyard unionists complain justly that the reason the Newcastle dockyard has costed itself out of markets is that it has no modern resources- no modern technology- to build ships, unlike West Germany, Sweden, Japan or South Korea. [More…]
Yet the new chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Commission has said that this is a good idea, because suddenly there is a spirit of efficiency in the Commission which has not been experienced previously. [More…]
The ex-Minister of State, a man of great experience, told me that finally the Minister says: ‘We will reduce the estimates by 10 per cent’. [More…]
It concerns me greatly that the man who holds the Federal portfolio of science makes absolutely no mention of the excellent work that has been carried out by the Depanment of Agriculture and Fisheries at Northfield. [More…]
-On 13 October Senator Brown sought information on a reported offer of a piece of land near Man’s Beach between Woodside and Yarram. [More…]
There should be a break-down of the number of personnel and the man hours worked by the Commonwealth Police to protect the Governor-General since 1 1 November. [More…]
The Honourable Les Johnson was the only man who came forward with a constructive idea. [More…]
I repeat that 2 firms of management consultants were called in, a feasibility study was carried out, the plans were drawn up and an estimate of costs was received. [More…]
The officers of the Department in Sydney are adamant that they have to get a baptismal certificate or a birth certificate from Reg.g10 in Italy. [More…]
This man is not reluctant to get the baptismal certificate, but I told them that I think it is not warranted. [More…]
The man has been in Australia for about 35 years. [More…]
I admit that there is a doubt as to whether this man was aged one year or 3 years when he arrived in Australia. [More…]
I believe that if the Registrar-General’s office in Sydney says that this man was aged 3 years, and not 2 years, when he arrived in Australia, that ought to be sufficient. [More…]
But now we are getting to the stage where we have this hard core of 60 000 or 70 000 people, many of whom are in their forties and who suffered a few insults in post-war Australia. [More…]
I think it is overdoing things when this man can show that he has participated in trade unions and other organisations for 20 years. [More…]
I repeat that when this man was aged 18 years or 20 years he might have received a minor booking for being in a bit of a brawl. [More…]
I do not care who the man is: If somebody questions his parentage or nationality he has every right to hit back. [More…]
If anybody likes to probe the case he will find that this man was released on a bond in respect of that offence. [More…]
This man has worked in heavy industry. [More…]
He does not want Australian citizenship in order to become a professor or a professional man. [More…]
We will investigate the case and the lack of documentation will not necessarily debar the man from citizenship. [More…]
He got legal personnel to man the post for the purpose of giving legal aid to Aboriginals. [More…]
Paul Coe is a peculiar character who has many difficulties that we have to overcome. [More…]
We thought this would help to put him on an equal footing with the white man who may have to go to court. [More…]
At present, he starts off much behind the white man. [More…]
It concerns a black man who was painted white by louts. [More…]
That man is still in a very serious condition. [More…]
When he arrived at the Little Sisters of the Poor hospitalthat is one of the few places to which Aborigines in Kalgoories can go- he said, ‘They thought I was a white man’. [More…]
However, it distresses me to think that a man of General Stretton ‘s reputation is lending himself to this let’s kick the politicians’ attitude in order to get cheap publicity for himself and his book. [More…]
I have also complained to the General Manager of the ABC about the attitude being adopted by some of the Commission’s journalists in obtaining a story from one source without affording the other side of the case to be put. [More…]
I thought that that not only summed up the man; it summed up the class of representation he gave to the electors of Braddon. [More…]
I should like to refer to an article in the Tasmanian Press today which stated that one man with 10 children has been affected by the retrenchments and has to go to some other part of the country to find himself a job. [More…]
In a television interview the other night the general manager of the company said that the Tasmanian Labor Government could not have done more than it had. [More…]
There is a human problem in the Queenstown area. [More…]
We talk about economic problems and statistics; I am talking about human beings. [More…]
I have seen and been involved with the people of the west coast of Tasmania in the co-operative effort that saved the mine there in 1947. [More…]
Every man jack worthy of his name in the town turned out on the night of the great fire of 1947. [More…]
One man with 8 children in his family went in to the powder magazine. [More…]
He is a retired man with a few shares in Mount Lyell. [More…]
What did I get from the Chairman of the Mount Lyell Mining and Railway Co. when I took up the issue? [More…]
A new set of guidelines has obviously been laid down secretly by this Government that we shall go back to the old paternalistic system that what the white man thinks is good for the blacks the black man will cop. [More…]
A record is held of a man born 2 years later and with different given names. [More…]
Recently a number of surveyors arrived in Mount Larcom and proceeded to survey the property of a man named Paddy Coughlan without his permission. [More…]
I think most honourable senators opposite would not particularly trust the Premier of Queensland, and that is not being nasty to him, although I did note yesterday that a well known Minister in Queensland said that the Premier was the only God-fearing political leader in Australia and that he is the only man who works according to the word of God. [More…]
Secondly, I ask him in his capacity as Minister representing the Prime Minister and the Minister for Foreign Affairs whether he has seen the report based on the findings of the Chief Ombudsman of New Zealand, Sir Guy Powles, in today’s Canberra Times that ‘it could be reasonably assumed that there are up to 36 ‘official’ Soviet intelligence operatives in Australia plus of course a number of operatives not attached to the official structure and an even larger number of agents in left-wing organisations, emigre groups and the like’. [More…]
Furthermore, is he able to confirm or deny another item in the newspaper report that a former Pravda correspondent in Canberra, Mr Yuri Yasnev, had been publicly cited as a KGB contact man with an Irish Republican Army terrorist group in Dublin? [More…]
One of the main recommendations that he made was to the effect that one-man police stations in the Northern Territory must cease to exist and that the police force strength must be increased to allow for one-man police stations to become 2-man police stations. [More…]
But in the Northern Territory, like anywhere else these days, there is increased violence, and it is most unfair to ask a man and his wife to endeavour to keep law and order in some of these isolated areas. [More…]
Also in these isolated areas which have only one policeman the occasion often arises when he has to leave his post. [More…]
That occurs for very many reasons. [More…]
I can assure the Senate that when that happens, in many places all hell breaks loose, and that is the only way in which to describe the situation. [More…]
I say this to honourable senators that if that happened in the mines, the railways or the building industry they would know in the first 48 hours or earlier whether a man was a member of a union within the industry. [More…]
I will not have that man who is running the duty free shop being wrapped up in cotton wool, because my telephone informants tell me that he has a Melbourne connection and a Perth connection. [More…]
If I were sitting where Mr Street is sitting I would have had the man in front of me in 48 hours and I would have called the Minister for Transport, Mr Nixon, in with him. [More…]
As a matter of fact, before I am finished with this case I am determined to know the name of this man who has bled people white over the last few years. [More…]
I say to the officers sitting behind the Minister that it is not good enough for them to give me this claptrap and tell me that there are so many thousands of people working under Federal awards. [More…]
During the hearings of the Estimates Committee I said that any arbitration inspector who operates in those manufacturing industries which have trade union representation and shop stewards is not being gainfully employed. [More…]
I think it was Senator Harradine who referred to certain arbitration inspectors being grounded in Tasmania. [More…]
I am determined that the name of the man who has this concession is brought to light. [More…]
But it took courage for this man to tell his boss that he was committing a felony, and for that he was sacked. [More…]
In our opinion this would be a retrograde step, as at the present the Fire Control is manned by S experienced men. [More…]
These being 2 Senior Firemen, 1 Captain, 1 Second Class Fireman all of whom received their training with the N.S. [More…]
W. Fire Brigade and 1 Naval Fireman who received training in the RAN. [More…]
They also continuously man the Fire Control Watchroom, where the Fire Alarm Console is situated, this console automatically contacts the state brigade as well as alerting the Hospital Fireman and indicating to him the position of any fire. [More…]
Under the proposed new scheme the Watchroom would be unmanned from 0600 until 2030 hours daily. [More…]
The (Fireman Patrolman) being on gate duty 120 metres away. [More…]
Under the new system a fully trained man may not be on duty at all. [More…]
-Seeing that Senator Harradine is so worried about this man, I will read from an affidavit. [More…]
Can the Minister give the Senate a progress report on those talks in general, and in particular whether the Australian Embassy in Athens did all it could to spring this man out of the Greek army? [More…]
The members of the Amalgamated Metal Workers Union are frustrated by the fact that these man have money behind them, that they have the capacity to organise their election and that they wield such tremendous power through the finances, possibly brought in- I am not saying this is definite- from overseas communist countries. [More…]
In replying to that accusation that man said: ‘Well, you can kiss my Irish backside’. [More…]
I am not boasting, but many people have had to start in a tough way whether they be to the Left or the Right and whether it be a Jack Mundey or a Laurie Short. [More…]
The New South Wales counterpart was the one-man bus dispute. [More…]
Let me put it this way: Man is mortal, and if a person says that he is an anti-communist that does not make him perfect. [More…]
Here is the man who poses as a democrat. [More…]
A man has got the responsibility, as federal president, to protect the funds of that organisation. [More…]
It is known that the organisation to which I have referred, as a result of gross mismanagement of its funds, has had to go into an overdraft situation. [More…]
Forrester cannot defend himself against this attack by a man who is attacking those who attack Maynes. [More…]
Let me summarise the position that has been raised: This man has the confidence of his Union members in Queensland. [More…]
I was not appointed by a secretary in Victoria and sent to Tasmania to become secretary of that and a number of other unions. [More…]
But this man is the frontal point for the purpose of Fraser ‘s declared policy. [More…]
This man is one of the lieutenants in the trade union movement for the purpose of the Fraser attack. [More…]
Senator Harradine used the occasion to claim that a man had been dismissed from a paid position in his union, was dismissed from membership of his union and could not get a job. [More…]
I mustn’t mention the golden handshakes of over $10,000 a man we try to give waterside workers we don’t need if only we could get them to hold their hands out. [More…]
The general rule of one man one vote is accepted throughout this country. [More…]
Under the privilege of the Parliament he made, as was said before, a dreadful attack on a man. [More…]
Yes, only because the man is standing for a democratic election in Queensland- a man trying to defend himself against the infiltration of people like Senator Harradine. [More…]
Senator Harradine has had the political and industrial movement in Tasmania in turmoil for about 10 years. [More…]
This man has been leading all these men at the State Labor Party conferences for years. [More…]
He could be an organiser, a branch committee man, or even a trustee or the branch secretary. [More…]
If assertions are being made in the terms of Senator Cavanagh ‘s supplementary question the Clerk, who I imagine is the man involved, ought to have a right of direct reply. [More…]
The book by the Clerk of the Senate- a man of great experience and recognised scholarshipought to be claimed not merely as a concatenation of records and events but also as a book which has had brought to it such a degree of scholarship that makes it worthy of consideration by all sections of the community, including members of Parliament, university scholars, political scientists and the general public, as an historical record of opinion from that experienced scholarship, applied after a lifetime devotion to the study. [More…]
I do not know whether a garbage man, if associated with local government, would be a bad member. [More…]
The Bill has been deliberately drawn by the draftsman to give the States some scope for manoeuvre. [More…]
I do not disparage the garbage man. [More…]
I do not honestly think that the recommendation of the Committee means that a garbage man may be on the Local Government Grants Commission; but the wording of the clause says that he can be on such a body. [More…]
I think that any interpretation of this part of the clause as including a garbage man, or somebody who has no association with the administration of local government, is a quite absurd and extreme interpretation. [More…]
The shock of deprivation can be partly counteracted by identifying and conserving buildings and whole areas of special quality as landmarks for our cultural past, present and future, and urban parklands, foreshores, coastlines, forests and other areas near cities, which will keep at least some opportunity for man’s nexus with nature. [More…]
It was tragic that the people of Queensland should lose the services of a man like Mr Whitrod- a man who had worked for a number of years in the Queensland Police Force, doing his best to make it an efficient and effective force. [More…]
I would like to point out some of the qualities and achievements of this man of whom I speak. [More…]
He won that medal against competition from police officers in many parts of the world. [More…]
He also holds the award of Commander of the Royal Victorian Order. [More…]
These achievements and his ability, I think, underline the claim I made that it was a tragedy for the people of Queensland when they learnt yesterday that they will lose the services of such a man within the next couple of weeks when he leaves the post of Queensland Police Commissioner. [More…]
During the time when I was associated with him I found him to be a man of complete integrity. [More…]
Despite his ability, his integrity and his capacity for work, he was faced with a great many frustrations. [More…]
He used modern management techniques to improve the Queensland Police Force. [More…]
He used those modern management techniques when some private organisations were not even aware that they existed or, if they were aware that they existed, did not consider them to be worth using themselves. [More…]
From my observation, I am sure that these management techniques that he used helped to improve the Force. [More…]
From my knowledge of the man, he is completely honest himself. [More…]
Even with those frustrations, he achieved many things. [More…]
I know him quite well because when I was working for the Queensland Police Department I had the opportunity to choose a second-in-charge and I chose that man who, since I have left, has received further promotion and has become an Assistant Commissioner of Police. [More…]
I could not have asked for a better second-in-charge, and I am sure that no Commissioner of Police in Queensland could have asked for a better man. [More…]
In the meantime, it is well to remember that a man of high ability and integrity has been lost to the people of Queensland. [More…]
I am sure that many people in Queensland will also be wishing him all the best for the future. [More…]
There is an old saying that no man is indispensable. [More…]
But whilst a man might not be indispensable, if he leaves a position he is likely to be missed. [More…]
Ray Whitrod is such a man. [More…]
Having regard to his own involvement, I would have thought that Senator Carrick in particular would have adopted a more intelligent, humane and compassionate attitude in response to that question which was placed before him by Senator Georges initially and subsequently by me. [More…]
Not only has it acted to prevent information coming out of East Timor but it has also refused visas to 2 Fretilin representatives, Man Alkatiri and Mr Rogiero Lobato. [More…]
Not only that, when West Irian was ultimately incorporated into Indonesia, the man who was primarily responsible for the ultimate efforts and the ultimate negotiations which led to West Irian’s incorporation was none other than Mr Ellsworth Bunker, a prominent official of the United States State Department who had been until very shortly before that time the United States Ambassador to Indonesia. [More…]
Certainly the man who was then the information officer at the Indonesian Embassy in Canberra was a West [More…]
Mr Nixon is a man who knows a good deal about aircraft, especially a particular section of the aircraft industry. [More…]
I have noted that in the other place the Minister for Environment, Housing and Community Development (Mr Newman) and the Leader of the Opposition (Mr E. G. Whitlam) regaled much on what each had done. [More…]
I think anybody in any political party has to realise that he is trying to reflect- particularly in the field of conservationthe views of people outside, the commandos. [More…]
As far as New South Wales is concerned, I do not run away from the point that by an evolutionary process successive State governments did a little more each time, but the pioneer of these projects in that State was a modest back bencher, a man named Arthur Tonge. [More…]
He is not only a bird man, he is an authority on national parks. [More…]
Each of them appears to have a record of performance. [More…]
It is headed by Mr David Yencken who is accepted as a man of great experience and great competence. [More…]
Many members of this Parliament have had the opportunity of discussing with him the purposes and work of the Commission. [More…]
Far from facing up to the fact that it represents an admission of failure of all the policies of this Government which was going to turn on the lights, it blames Labor collectively, it blames Labor individually and it suggests that somehow or other a man, who had ceased to be Treasurer and was not exercising any fiscal power in this country, by predicting devaluation was in some way to blame for the present position. [More…]
He is the man who predicted a devaluation of about 1 5 per cent in early 1977. [More…]
No man who has ever been in the position of Treasurer ought to do that publicly. [More…]
Could the Minister dispel the many rumours circulating that the Australian Government is at odds with its man in Belgrade, Ambassador Booker? [More…]
-As I understand it, our man in Belgrade, Mr Booker, has written a book entitled The Last Domino. [More…]
Is that the same gentleman? [More…]
I should like to draw attention also to the first Director of the Council, Mr Ray Norman, who was the Executive Director of the Young Men’s Christian Association and was lent to the Council for 5 months by the YMCA. [More…]
Again it was the situation of the right man in the right place at the right time. [More…]
I stress at this stage, although perhaps there is no need knowing the feeling of many members on the other side of the chamber, the value of the councils of social service. [More…]
The sea has always had a great fascination for man. [More…]
There are references to 121 lives being lost, to ships missing with all hands, to 3 lives being lost, to 8 lives being lost, to 10 men being drowned, to 4 lives being lost, to all the crew either perishing on the wreck or being killed by natives directly they landed, to one man being saved, to 9 lives being lost, to all hands being saved, to the crew never being heard of again, and so on. [More…]
The story is so painfully similar in so many cases. [More…]
A man named Robinson, who was an underwater diver and who was very active in looking for those wrecks, located one in August 1957. [More…]
My colleague from Tasmania, Senator Archer, made a most interesting speech. [More…]
Quite obviously he has done a deal of interesting research on the history of wrecks and the great number of people who have lost their lives at sea especially in the last century when so many migrants came to this country. [More…]
Senator Kilgariff, the man furthest from the ocean of any person in the Parliament, I would imagine, as I understand it especially raised in his speech the matter of a Japanese submarine off Darwin. [More…]
I urge those who are seeking to do things to this submarine for mere monetary gain to desist not only in the interests of Australian- Japanese relations, but out of simple humanity and decent regard for the deceased of a war that is now somewhat long past. [More…]
They choose to overlook what that means in real terms to the working man and woman- the average Australian citizen. [More…]
They have led many people through Queensland to look at the fascinating developments that are taking place- fascinating indicators of the future trends of our nation. [More…]
He seems to me to be a genuine man He was an adviser to the Democratic Party Government which was overthrown. [More…]
He is here now and he is seeking permanent residency. [More…]
The New South Wales Association of Immigration Reform took up his case and wrote to the Minister on 1 1 November, asking that permanent residency be granted to the professor. [More…]
There may be more people who have escaped from Thailand and who have managed to get here. [More…]
There are obviously many students in Victoria, and no doubt in other States as well, who are concerned and who are in genuine danger and under genuine threat from the present Thai Government. [More…]
I join with Senator Primmer in hoping that our Government will give the most sympathetic consideration to the students ‘ request for permanent residence in this country. [More…]
-I think it would be a very bold man who expressed any opinions about the role of strippers in the community generally. [More…]
The other consideration that I think has to be given in relation to these amendments is to those completely dependent children- I talk of them as children only in the sense that they are born to a particular marriage- whom we find frequently in our society, such as a man or a woman, sometimes in middle age, who has devoted his or her entire life to looking after aged and infirm parents. [More…]
That was not a Labor man speaking. [More…]
That was not a Labor man criticising the present Government That was the Chairman of the Government’s rural back bench committee criticising his own Government for the lack of action taken. [More…]
Rather than establish and man a corporation with the best possible people to represent the industry in these highly competitive days, the Minister has split the meat industry with his assertion that the composition of the corporation will follow the plans and form recommended to him by one section, the livestock producers. [More…]
We do not like to see a man lose his property but it is fairly obvious that in some areas, particularly in the Centre, some properties will have to combine so that one family can have a decent living and others can be given assistance with retraining and support to help them move elsewhere. [More…]
I cannot help reflecting upon how much better off the country would be if the Superior Court had been established at the time Sir Garfield Barwick was talking about it and the promise had been kept to a man who later became Governor-General of Australia. [More…]
I content myself merely at this stage by directing the attention of honourable senators to the fact that I do not accept that the Chairman of the Remuneration and Allowances Tribunal occupies a position of immutable distinction as was accorded once to the Medes and the Persians. [More…]
Simply because the Tribunal was appointed, as Senator Douglas McClelland said, by a Government which he once adorned- I say this without any contempt at all; he was a man of quite singular distinction in the Ministry of the Government which he supported- I do not accept that any comment upon the Tribunal is beyond the ambit of this chamber. [More…]
A naturalised Australian citizen, Marko Nazor, is unlawfully imprisoned in Yugoslavia as an honest and hard working and simple man who returned to his native country to see his mother. [More…]
Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that the Australian Parliament do everything in its power to persuade the Government of Yugoslavia to free this honest man and return to his family in Australia. [More…]
Senator Wriedt, being a man from Tasmania, is interested in Macquarie Island. [More…]
As I understand it, the Division has established that as a result of the importation of cats to the island many years ago there are now over 400 feral cats on the island. [More…]
The other man was also unable to reach the plains in the other side for water supplied from a creek of the river, and forming an extensive and deep morass.’ [More…]
He was a man who had done all right through publishing a few books. [More…]
In the case in point, and in view of the man’s record, I think what the then Minister, Clyde Cameron, did was right. [More…]
They are some of the areas in which we think the ombudsman should operate. [More…]
The man I am talking about was in Canberra and he was gaoled in Uraguay. [More…]
He will appreciate that this is a problem for the Federal ombudsman when he is dealing with many cases and that he will need staff with competence. [More…]
I do not think Party politics needs to be something that causes an ombudsman to be ineffective. [More…]
In New Zealand, for the first time in the common law countries, an ombudsman was successfully appointed in 1962. [More…]
He is Sir Guy Powles who perhaps has been the most outstanding success as an ombudsman in the English speaking world. [More…]
He is a man who was well chosen. [More…]
Also, I think it is unfortunate that the suggestion which has been made from time to time and which my Party proposed last year as an amendmentthat the ombudsman though appointed by the Governor-General should not be so appointed until his appointment had been approved by both Houses- has not met with the approval of the Government and is not contained in the Bill. [More…]
I think that, after all, an ombudsman is a parliament man. [More…]
This may be a matter of form, but I have no doubt that the appointment of an ombudsman will always be discussed between Prime Ministers and Leaders of the Opposition. [More…]
It is terribly important that the appointment of an ombudsman should not lead to political argument, whereby the matter was canvassed in the Parliament. [More…]
I think it is a shame that we have not proceeded with what was proposed last year, namely, that the Ombudsman should be approved of by both Houses of Parliament before he actually took up his role of office. [More…]
I take the part of the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly in so many things, but a lot of people here do not realise the thought and the forward thinking which has occurred over the years in the Territory. [More…]
In this case, when the Assembly tried to appoint an ombudsman for the Northern Territory, that was also refused. [More…]
Probably the first man in Australiaand I should like to have his name recorded in the Federal Hansard- to take any concrete action in relation to the appointment of an ombudsman was a person called Mr Harold Brennan, MLC. [More…]
Even today many people know Tiger’ Brennan, the man with the cigar and the tiger-hunting hat, a very fierce man, a man who fought for the small people whom he represented in his electorate in the Northern Territory. [More…]
These intrusions are meant primarily for the benefit of the country as a whole, but in very many instances that is not the case. [More…]
The nature of the intrusion into the life of the ordinary man by Canberra and local government is such that all sorts of positions are created that greatly affect the lives of the average, common man. [More…]
The man of substance can deal with these situations. [More…]
But too often the little man, the ordinary humble citizen, is incapable of asserting himself.’ [More…]
These are the people whose cause I am espousing- the little man, the ordinary humble citizen- and when I say man, you can interpose woman wherever applicable. [More…]
I share Senator Missen ‘s regrets that the actions of Ministers will be excluded- at least for the present- from the scrutiny of the ombudsman. [More…]
The man whose conduct really should be being investigated by the Ombudsman would be the Minister himself. [More…]
It is more important, as Senator Missen and other speakers have said, that, especially in the first instance, an impeccable appointment should be made because the worth of this legislation ultimately will depend entirely upon the standing in the eyes of the community of the man appointed to do the job. [More…]
This man- a prominent lawyer and a former member of this Parliament- has been active in the past few months as a propagandist on behalf of the Government’s side of politics in respect of the constitutional events of last year and has made several quite vicious attacks upon the Whitlam Government. [More…]
The man to whom I am referring is Mr Edward St John, Q.C. [More…]
I would say that a man of his performance is disqualified in the public’s eye not because of any deficiency of talent or character but merely because if he is appointedI am not suggesting that if he were appointed he would not attempt to act conscientiously and impartially- there would be a doubt in the public’s eye. [More…]
It is more important even than in the case of a judicial appointment that the man who is appointed as an ombudsman should be totally untained by any suggestion of partiality towards any side of politics. [More…]
I stress therefore that the most important aspect of this legislation is care in the choice of the Ombudsman. [More…]
The most important qualification that he should have if he is to be able to carry out his job in a way that will satisfy the public is that he is the sort of man who will look after the public’s interest and not the interests of any Party and that he is a man whose record places him totally above Party controversy. [More…]
I can assure Senator James McClelland and the Senate that no decision has been made as to the person to be appointed as the ombudsman. [More…]
He expressed to me the concern that he had about getting the right man. [More…]
accelerate the studies which have been initiated by the Australian Water Resources Council to determine, on a region-by-region basis, the quantity and quality of water likely to be available for use under man’s control; [More…]
The legislation was made almost impotent in 1967 when a professed improvement followed on 2 years on consultation presided over by Mr Justice Woodward, as he now is, which gave rise to what was called permanent employment. [More…]
As soon as it was negotiated they started to become turbulent again, as the favourite expression is, and in 1972 they pulled on a strike of major dimensions which coerced those involved in the industry to forgo the provision that had been negotiated in the Woodward agreement whereby, at the request of employers, redundancy would be directed with each man affected to be on a certain retirement pension governed by law. [More…]
The law still governs the retirement pensions to which the redundants are entitled, at so many weeks wages for so many weeks of service. [More…]
In that strike in 1972, the monopoly union on the waterfront coerced all interests concerned to agree to forgo the right of voluntary initiating retirement and agreed that those provisions would not be invoked, with the result that no man on the waterfront can be retired from that occupation without his consent. [More…]
I am under the impression that each man is receiving for that agreement something between $10,000 and $14,000. [More…]
To get one man out of the registry of the industry because of redundancy, it is costing the industry at the rate of $10,000 to $14,000. [More…]
Many watersiders, men in their fifties, may be minus a thumb or have a splayed foot or something like that. [More…]
Senator Wright said it costs $20,000 to get a man of fifty-five out of a job. [More…]
In many countries in Eastern Europe today people aged fifty-five can get a pension. [More…]
Consider the manpower statistics and the difficulties of semiclerical workers in their fifties who are looking for work. [More…]
It is true that there is work in certain manual jobs such as digging shafts for the Water Board. [More…]
It is all a product of the mismanagement of the capitalist system. [More…]
I sympathise with the complexities of a modern manpower policy. [More…]
I have said again and again that it is much more difficult for a man in a manual occupation than for people in a profession. [More…]
When talking about idle time let us remember that maybe a man is not working on a Wednesday, and the Thursday is a cold day on the waterfront. [More…]
If we have a little human kindness we will get over this problem. [More…]
I think it is important that in these negotiations both sides of the industry should have confidence in the man who is conducting what are somewhat delicate negotiations. [More…]
That is the immediate problem which the Government is tackling and which it hopes to be able to solve under the skilful chairmanship of Mr Justice Robinson. [More…]
Senator Wright, of course, has veen very critical of these arrangements for a long time, and in the debate today he expressed his criticism in his usual forceful manner. [More…]
In the Government’s view it can be resolved only by negotiation, and that is why the negotiations under the chairmanship of Mr Justice Robinson are proceeding. [More…]
During the period to which I have referred, when there is a considerable ‘drag’ in passing decisions of the PJT through to business, the small business man is put under greater pressure than his counterparts at a higher level or those who are better able to cope with financial problems. [More…]
In that situation the small business man, because he cannot get an increase in the price of his goods, finds himself unable to cope with financial problems and is forced out of business. [More…]
The pharmacist (as has been remarked at various points in section 1 and the present section) is likely to find himself in a conflict of interest, in view of his status as a professional man having professional duties on the one hand and as a retailer with business interests on the other. [More…]
For a man who has been in politics for the length of time that Mr Uren has, I should have thought that he would have understood something about housing by now. [More…]
That is something the human mind cannot comprehend. [More…]
It becomes comprehensible when one considers that, as far as I know- if Senator Webster were here he could clarify this- man is creating temperatures greater than the temperature at the centre of the sun. [More…]
This rapid acceleration of the technology was caused, firstly, by the concern of the allied powers that Germany may have developed an atom bomb during the Second World War. [More…]
It has been aggravated since by the insatiable appetite for energy- about which Senator Young talked- by man in the developed countries and also by the determination to maintain arms superiority in this unstable world of ours. [More…]
But unfortunately many would suggest that this technology has raced ahead of the very safety precautions and the waste disposal precautions which will be necessary for the safe future development of fission power. [More…]
Some countries like Sweden, Austria, France, West Germany, Britain, Japan and India, faced with poor fossil fuel resources, high oil costs and uncertain oil supplies, have opted for nuclear power to a certain extent. [More…]
I am not so pessimistic to believe that man will not develop better safety precautions and better methods. [More…]
However, Professor Hans Alfven, the Nobel prize winner for physics in 1970 and a man who is expert in plasma physics- the area in which fusion power will be developed- has, I believe, put the whole problem of waste most succinctly. [More…]
For example, official United States figures show that the annual death rate in the coal industry is 1 1 times greater than that in the nuclear industry (including mining), injuries 7 times greater, and man days lost some 10 times greater. [More…]
He got a knighthood, and I know of many good men in industry who have been suspended. [More…]
But that man and the people around him polluted the Finniss River. [More…]
The fate of these, and the manner and extent to which man and other biota in the environment may be subjected to them are important matters on which some information has been sought. [More…]
I think that was a very despicable action because Dr Mosley, who is a very fine man and who is the Director of the Australian Conservation Foundation, took the liberty of sending to me the final submission of the Foundation to the Fox inquiry. [More…]
I said to the Minister for Environment, Housing and Community Development, Mr Newman, and to the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations, Mr Street: ‘Well, now, how do we know that with radon everything will be all right? ‘ [More…]
It is all very well for a man in his physical prime between the ages of 20 years and 30 years to work for long hours for 5 years- I am talking in the context of asbestos mining- but when he gets a manifestation of tuberculosis and other problems in his lungs at 40 years of age, it is not of much use saying: ‘Well, here is a code’. [More…]
That is the answer that I received from Mr Street and Mr Newman. [More…]
Sir Philip Baxter was the cause of the pollution of the Finniss River, yet he has the temerity to write drivel in the newspapers and say what a great man he is. [More…]
For example, a railwayman can be disciplined for some minor misdemeanour, and if a boilermaker makes a mistake when he is cutting plate he can be sacked. [More…]
Ever since man first emerged from the cave he has required some form of energy. [More…]
As civilisation progressed through the ages man used animal fats, paraffin and so forth for lighting and heating. [More…]
But I am sure that man, in his quest for energy, will not find those dangers insurmountable. [More…]
What does not reach man does not harm him. [More…]
Provided people recognise this with plutonium and it is kept in its right place, as all other poisons should be, there will be no problem for the human race. [More…]
Ultimately, when the matters of fact are resolved, many of the questions which arise are social and ethical ones. [More…]
We agree strongly with the view repeatedly put to us by opponents of nuclear development, that, given a sufficient understanding of the science and technology involved, the final decisions should rest with the ordinary man and not be regarded as the preserve of any group of scientists or experts, however distinguished. [More…]
The commissioners imply that they should not be considered decision makers, that the Parliament should not be considered as the decision maker, but the ordinary man and women in the street should be considered the decision makers. [More…]
He was unable to land at Beagle Bay because by some act of man or God all the brush around the airport was on fire and the end result was a pall of smoke similar to the mushroom cloud of Hiroshima or perhaps the other place where all good Liberals fear to go. [More…]
The Aboriginal people have been bearing the brunt of the white man’s policies for decades. [More…]
I should like to read a summation of the situation by a man who has had well over 20 years experience working with Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory. [More…]
If I could refer now to another quotation from the transcript, on the visit to Yirrkala of a man called Gatjil, one of the leading young people of the Northern Territory said: [More…]
I conclude my remarks by quoting part of a letter which was written by an Aboriginal man and which is headed ‘From Black to White’. [More…]
The man is James Galarrwuy Yunupingu, who would be known to a number of people present. [More…]
One elderly man who was there went round taking the names of the other elderly people who sat passively and listened. [More…]
This old man, who is concerned for the future of his people, went around and took the names of the traditional owners who were there. [More…]
Professor Strehlow is a man who has served for more than 60 years with the Aboriginals in Australia and particularly in the. [More…]
In an endeavour to overcome those difficulties, white man’s institutions and procedures have been suggested in the form of land trusts and land councils. [More…]
No person can speak for another man’s land, and the owner of a particular piece of land cannot speak for any other person’s land. [More…]
He gave us a quick and very slick white man’s view of the historical situation over the last two hundred years. [More…]
I think he has a deep interest in Aboriginal affairs and has done a lot in and before his dme as a member of Parliament for the purpose of benefiting Aboriginals insofar as the white man understands how we can benefit them. [More…]
That is the white man’s idea of the proposal. [More…]
So here we have a comparison between the white man’s vision of commercial interests in land holdings and the Aboriginals’ idea of sacred entitlement to land. [More…]
But now we say that we will not allow even the Northern Territory Legislative Assembly to make that decision; we will put forward some white man from the south to tell them what they will do. [More…]
I suppose in his report Woodward comes nearer than any other white man to understanding the Aboriginal claim to land. [More…]
The report which he brought down contains his idea of the best method which can be used within white man’s society to grant land rights, while at the same time giving Aboriginals the maximum opportunity to operate on their own land. [More…]
It goes far beyond the somewhat coldly calculated white man’s concept. [More…]
That is the history of land which was set aside in my own State of Queensland and in other States of the Commonwealth for Aboriginal people when it had no commercial value, no minerals and nothing else for the white man. [More…]
Immediately minerals were found or the white man saw it as good agriculture land or good land on which to graze cattle or sheep it was resumed. [More…]
It went back to the white man. [More…]
I was very proud last evening when I saw a particular gentleman sitting in the galleries. [More…]
I direct myself to the presence of Professor Stanner, a man who has fought for years for land rights for and just treatment of the Aboriginal people. [More…]
There were magnificent carvings that had been done many generations ago by the forebears of the Aboriginals there and perhaps some of those who are sitting in the gallery today. [More…]
There are many that are unknown to us. [More…]
There are many that are known only to Aboriginals who live out in the middle of the Northern Territory who have very little contact if any at all with white man. [More…]
A newspaper report told us not so long ago of a black man and his wife being refused accommodation at a hotel even though the wife was obviously pregnant and very distressed as a result of a long drive through extreme heat conditions. [More…]
They had to return to a reserve in order to get accommodation that night because the hotel management determined that, as they were black, they were not allowed to live in the white man’s hotel overnight. [More…]
These amendments take away the right of the Aboriginal to decide and, as Senator Jessop has just shown, it is impossible for the white man to decide on the value to the Aboriginal of the undisturbed land. [More…]
Paul Albrecht, a most distinguished and conscientious man in the Northern Territory. [More…]
Secondly, as is envisaged by Woodward, we should have a commission which ensures that the fringe dwellers are not pushed further and further into the outback just because the white man wants to use the land for a housing development. [More…]
But to illustrate that there is no such thing as an Albrecht theory, I suggest that people interested read Kin and Totem by Johannes Falkenberg; Aboriginal Man in Australia, which was written in honour of Professor Elkin and edited by Professor Berndt and Katherine Berndt; The World of the First Australians by Professor Berndt and Katherine Berndt; Man, Land and Myth in North Australia, once again by Professor Berndt and Katherine Berndt; Aranda Traditions by Professor Strehlow; and Tribes and Boundaries in Australia, which is edited by Nicholas Peterson. [More…]
It is not the Albrecht theory, and because they have no one else to represent their viewpoint they use Pastor Albrecht, who is a conscientious and honest man. [More…]
Again I acknowledge the capabilities of a legal man to tell us the legal meaning of the word ‘paramount’. [More…]
As a fair and honest man who tried to appeal to us during the second reading debate, let him say whether I am right or wrong. [More…]
He is a very mischievious man. [More…]
He is a destructive man. [More…]
He is a negative man. [More…]
He is an insidious man. [More…]
I have had a lot of experience with this man in Tasmania. [More…]
But Tasmania is now relieved of him because he is in this Parliament where he is absolutely negative. [More…]
This man wants to support a militarist regime which is in power in Indonesia at present. [More…]
For years and years this man has been a hypocrite - [More…]
I was honoured to attend the very moving ceremony yesterday at which a wreath was laid by a man who had been captured by the Japanese in East Timor. [More…]
This man has maligned members of the Australian trade union movement - [More…]
I withdraw, Mr President, but I assure you that since the Australian Labor Party has removed this man from its membership in Tasmania the Labor Party in that State has been healthier than it had been for more than a decade. [More…]
What will happen in the Tasmanian elections on Saturday will show how much more healthy the Party is since it has removed him from its ranks. [More…]
If that belief is correct, I find it preposterous that I should sit here and hear an honourable senator read a speech which was prepared in another man’s name and which was never made. [More…]
In particular, will the 6 unions whose members man such cranes, namely the Waterside Workers Federation, the Federated Engine Drivers and Firemen’s Association, the Transport Workers Union, the Australian Railways Union, the Federated Ironworkers Association, and the Australian Workers Union, be kept fully informed of what is happening? [More…]
It seeks to modify the law so that Aboriginal law will not be overridden by the white man’s law enacted by the Legislative Assembly of the Northern Territory. [More…]
According to the Industries Assistance Commission subsidies paid to manufacturing industries in Australia amounted to $2,000m in 1971-72. [More…]
As to secondary industry, it was recently said by the Minister for Transport (Mr Nixon) that the taxpayers are subsidising the shipbuilding industry to the extent of $20,000 a year a man, and in the motor car industry there is a subsidy of $4,000 for each employee in the industry. [More…]
By saying that, Senator Tehan is ridiculing people like Mr Heffernan, who is a man of great repute in primary industry, and all the people who made up that Council. [More…]
One of those people who represented the dairy farmers of Australia, Mr Bob Sample, is well known to members of the Labor Party, because we had many discussions with him when he was trying to improve the industry and bring some better value into it. [More…]
As I said, we did many things to try to help the dairy industry. [More…]
There are one or two other matters to which I wanted to refer but I conclude my remarks in relation to the Australian Broadcasting Commission by saying that there is a lack of understanding among certain Ministers as to what it is all about and there is a lack of understanding by the Chairman as to what it is all about. [More…]
It is no good Senator Carrick getting up in the Senate time after time and telling me that Albert Monk thought Sir Henry Bland was a great man. [More…]
It does not matter to me and it does not affect my view of whether he is a proper and responsible person to be Chairman of a great national broadcasting service. [More…]
The leaks which have emerged- I do not know how they happened- in the last few days and which attribute to Sir Henry such expressions as ‘the Nips’, and ‘the Russkies’ seem to cast some doubt on the wisdom of the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) in selecting this man to head one of our more important cultural institutions. [More…]
It is a matter of common knowledge in this town, this little closed community where nothing is secret for very long, that people such as Mr Jim Malone, the head of FACTSFACTS’ is a curious title for an outfit that has little to do with truth- which is the Federation of Australian Commercial Television Stations, and a man named Des Foster, who is the head of an organisation called FARB, which is the Federation of Australian Radio Broadcasters, and Mr Kerry Packer, who probably does not need to be designated, have been in and out of the corridors of power in the last few weeks, whereas people demonstrating on behalf of the ABC and on behalf of the survival of an elected commissioner of the ABC such as Marius Webb have to take their place out on the lawn. [More…]
I can recall that during the election campaign one of the more primitive members of the coalition- a man named Nixon, who I believe is the Minister for something or other- was sounding off about the necessity to gag the ABC during the campaign. [More…]
As far as they are concerned, it is like the attitude that once was attributed to Lord Thomson- who, by the way, was a great man in the media compared with the Packers or anyone like thatnamely, that the news was something that you sandwiched between the advertising columns. [More…]
They prove, again, the independence of the man on the land. [More…]
In order to qualify an applicant must have sold his property to a purchaser under the farm build-up provisions which I mentioned earlier- that is the small man getting out. [More…]
To obtain this information would require considerable effort and man hours which I am not prepared to authorise. [More…]
I can recall the very great gentility of the man and his humanity in grappling with problems which were even worse than the problems with which I was struggling at the time. [More…]
-I think, Senator O ‘Byrne, that a former Treasurer in your party, the Honourable Frank Crean, is on record as having coined the phrase ‘one man’s wage rise is another man ‘s job’ . [More…]
Regrettably, but hardly surprisingly, this lift in demand and production has not yet been translated into a decline in unemployment. [More…]
We all recall that dictum of a former Labor Treasurer that in conditions of high inflation ‘one man’s wage increase is another man’s job’. [More…]
There is no doubt in my mind that that particular man did not lack in tenacity or courage but, together with the support he received from southern States, he destroyed a viable industry. [More…]
I remind Senator Walsh that the same Sir Charles Court is the man who was largely responsible in the first place for the tremendous development in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. [More…]
The inventor of that definition was a man called Clausewitz. [More…]
In 1964 the Chairman of the Communist Party in the U.S.S.R. was a man called Khrushchev who is now dead. [More…]
In the final analysis, the defence of a country rests on that unfortunate man, the infantryman, who moves on to the enemy’s area on his flat feet- as Senator Bishop did on another occasion at another time. [More…]
He remains a faceless man. [More…]
Sheer snobbery prevents him telling the Senate about the origins of that man. [More…]
It prevents him telling us what that man stands for, what country he comes from and the threat he offers to Australia. [More…]
Throughout 20 years of Australian history the only relevant facts in Australian defence debates which have concerned the Australian people have been threats from all sorts of mythical people, whether they be the Chinese of 10 years ago or the Russians of one year ago, as mentioned by Malcolm Fraser, or this faceless Asian man that Senator Sir Magnus Cormack met 3 months ago. [More…]
As I know Mr Begg, and I know him as an honourable man, I cannot conceive that he would have invented that story. [More…]
I just say to Mr Begg that his informant is not only a despicable person for breaching the confidence of the party room but also a liar, and he has my permission and consent to tell his informant that. [More…]
It is a double standard which has been demonstrated by the Opposition in this and so many other matters. [More…]
They demonstrate that whilst they were managers of the economy for some 3 years, they brought Australia to a situation where Australia and its people were thrust into the greatest hardship that had ever been encountered in this country ‘s history. [More…]
Yet we have the audacity of the man who has just been speaking to stand up from his socialist point of view- I understand that he is proud to be one of the left wing socialists of the Labor Party- and say that whilst his Government was in office these things did not happen. [More…]
The people in this country, the voters of this country, will remember that old saying that a wise man learns by his own experience. [More…]
But the saying does not end with the statement that it is a wise man who learns by his own experience. [More…]
The fact is that a wiser man learns by another man’s experience. [More…]
The honourable senator mumbles into his beard as to why a socialist government which claimed to be the protector of the working man brought the community, particularly persons who sell their labour, to that unemployment situation. [More…]
But they have learnt, can I say, by another man’s experience, never to do that again. [More…]
At this time we have the spectacle of a group of men who brought this country to its knees having the audacity to say to the new management that they could do better than it. [More…]
The same man who brought this country to its knees now stands before us saying that Labor now knows the way to restore the country to what it was. [More…]
This is despite the fact that western economies such as France, with a conservative government, West Germany and Austria with social democratic governments, and Scandinavia, the Netherlands and Belgium with a variety of governments, have understood that one way of curing economic ills and unemployment is by engaging in appropriate public sector activity. [More…]
The Western Australian Government, led by the unfortunate Sir Charles Court, that hapless, latter-day poor man’s Adam Smith- he would be a poor man’s Adam Smith if he happened to be familiar with his doctrines and had not read the version of them which appears in the Daily News- has been so starved of funds that it has found it necessary not to continue with the public enterprise State electricity operations to provide electrical power to the people of Western Australia. [More…]
The only way in which it can manipulate the present annual rate of inflation is by omitting mention of the December consumer price index figures which are being held back deliberately until the Western Australian elections are over. [More…]
Senator Walters in some odd, almost incomprehensible attempt to manipulate the inflation rate, spoke of the artificially low Medibank quarter when we were in office. [More…]
They are man made. [More…]
I suppose that in a rather inadequate way the Bill tends by law to cater for the situation in which man’s technological capacity has outgrown his moral capacity to deal with what he creates. [More…]
I suggest that in this instance where a government is putting forward a view, the members supporting which opposed it to a man 2 years ago, it is imperative if we are going to take our responsibilities seriously that all the senators who joined in the debates 2 years ago should take the period of the call for reflection; but much more importantly, all those who were not here and did not hear those debates and are going to hear the debate anew in this instance certainly should avail themselves of the call. [More…]
I believe it is a disgrace that a man who was so closely involved- right up to the hilt- in the brutal designs of the Indonesian military forces should now represent Australia in the United Nations. [More…]
Genetic engineering appears to be one of the most important and significant areas of scientific research available to man ‘s use. [More…]
In one particular case, when one man obtained bis endorsement he was living at Port Augusta but even before he was elected he moved to Adelaide to conduct his business. [More…]
The dictionary meaning of the word ‘democracy’ usually mentions in part that it is based on the equality of man. [More…]
Yet in Australia we expect one man to look after such a large area. [More…]
Some time ago I canvassed many of the people in my area about the problems of isolation. [More…]
Victorian senators represent some 245 000 electors, Queensland senators over 122 000, South Australian senators over 79 000, Western Australian senators over 67 000 and Tasmanian senators over 26 000. [More…]
How then can there be one man one vote in this place? [More…]
That is not to say that a goal of elections is that as far as is humanly possible the will of the electorate ought to be represented in the Parliament. [More…]
Whilst I think there is general acceptance in the Parliament of what might be called the theoretical proposition of one vote one value, there must be a recognition that in the Australian Federation, with the Tasmanian constitutional entitlement to 5 seats and with the Territorial representation, the proposition of one man one vote in this community is mathematically impossible to achieve. [More…]
What I do put to the Senate is that I believe, and I am sure most of us believe, that those who are elected to the House of Representatives should, as far as is humanly possible, represent the will of the electorate. [More…]
I speak of the Christian people in Uganda, the people who follow the teachings of Christ as many of us in this country do. [More…]
As a black man, as an Australian and as a Christian- although I might be accused by some people of not being a very good practising Christian, I believe that I am a Christian and that I follow the teachings of Christ- tonight, I wish to stand for Christ in what I have to say to this Senate and to the Australian people. [More…]
He has caused such atrocities as the slaying of an Anglican Archbishop because that man dared to speak against him. [More…]
Because of what he has done to the people in Uganda, I cannot find words to describe this man. [More…]
But their fate is unknown to the world because of the actions of this man whom I can only describe as a beast. [More…]
I hope that, as a black man of this country, my words will go throughout the world and reach out to those leaders of black countries so that they will protest and join the leaders of the churches throughout the world whose voices have been raised against what has happened and what is likely to happen in Uganda. [More…]
We can rest assured because we live in a democratic country in which every man has the right to speak and do those things which are possible under a democratic system. [More…]
I do not think there is a person in this Parliament who would not regard Neville Bonner as a man of great principle. [More…]
I believe that it is important for us to remember that Senator Bonner, who spoke as he did, so eloquently, so feelingly and so significantly, is the man who has spearheaded many of the developments in the recognition of Aboriginal rights in Australia. [More…]
He has done so as Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders. [More…]
He is the man who obtained the vote of the Senate in relation to the question of compensation. [More…]
He is the man who, to a large extent, was responsible for developing the enlightened attitude of the Government Parties in relation to the land rights question, legislation on which was passed late last year. [More…]
He is the man who has on the notice paper a private members Bill in relation to police procedures and confessions by Aborigines. [More…]
I have mentioned some of these points to bring together for people who may not recall as readily as we do the role which Senator Bonner played in these matters so that they may see the light in relation to the remarks he made about Africa, about the black, vicious, dictatorial government of a man who is either mad as some suggest, or one of the most vicious people who has ever lived. [More…]
He supports what is a total state of ignorance brought about as a result of some history books which have been written, as have many history books, to create and develop a myth and to distort the truth. [More…]
There are more people of Aboriginal descent in Tasmania as a percentage of the population than there are in Victoria and probably in several of the other States. [More…]
I continue by putting this view: I believe that the speech which we heard, from the first black member of this Parliament, about a matter involving a black government in Africa, ought to be seen in the light of the character and record of the man who gave the speech. [More…]
I wanted to refer to the history of that man and to some of his achievements, not only for the purposes of this debate but also for those who at later stages may be interested in looking back and learning some lessons. [More…]
Those of us who have sat with Senator Bonner since he first entered the Senate know that he has always campaigned for human rights and human dignity. [More…]
He has done it because of his innate humanity. [More…]
Those of us who have seen him in action have seen a very great and kind Christian gentleman. [More…]
I will certainly pass on the remarks he has made about Idi Amin, a man who is, I suppose, a prime example of a man with too much power going to his head. [More…]
I ask the Minister 4 questions: Has this man left Australia? [More…]
Is the Minister representing the Minister for the Capital Territory aware of reports that a local radio station 2CC is advertising that a man calling himself the 2CC man will be at the Canberra Show and will give money to children who approach him and ask whether he is the 2CC man? [More…]
Does the Minister agree that this kind of advertising is an open invitation to adults with dubious motives to go to the show and pose as the 2CC man in order to attract the attention of children? [More…]
The other night during the course of the debate when Senator Withers made some smirking remark about being a very innocent person, I interjected: ‘You are the most cynical man in the Parliament’. [More…]
Here is a knowledgeable man suggesting that if we are to have only one House we should do away with the democratically elected House. [More…]
Mr Snedden, a very eminent Queens Counsel and a man with a great deal of knowledge, was the Leader of the present Government par- ties at that time. [More…]
It then went to the GovernorGeneral and complained that the House of Representatives was unmanageable. [More…]
It would be an interesting experience for the younger honourable senators sitting in their places today if in a few years ‘ time- the nature of man being what it is, this possibility exists- a gross disagreement amongst the parties occurred in the House of Representatives. [More…]
With those concluding remarks, I ask that as many honourable senators as feel able to do so to support me in the referendum. [More…]
To give the Prime Minister the power to take the Senate to an election at any time would be a divisive and intimidatory tool in the hands of whatever man or woman might hold that office in the future. [More…]
Only if it is brutal and based on force and fear of force, and it deprives the common man of his liberties. [More…]
Some might say that in suggesting that no Prime Minister would conduct himself in such an unconstitutional manner as to flout the liberty of the citizen an immodest claim is being made for the superiority of the British politician; yet this is not necessarily an egoistic attitude. [More…]
That Parliament exercised its rights and chose a Labor man, who had been active in and respected by the Party for many years, to come to this chamber. [More…]
The only other member of the Government Parties who opposed it was Senator Reg Wright- a man who can be trusted to stand up for his principles. [More…]
Yes, but I have never been a yes man. [More…]
I can only repeat the shock expressed by others that people who have consistently, in 1973, 1974 and 1975, voted to a man-I refer to members of the Liberal and National Country Parties- to oppose this legislation and stated repeatedly their reasons for their opposition have now changed their minds. [More…]
I emphasise that in June 1975, a little over 18 months ago, this matter was debated in this chamber and to a man the members of the Liberal and National Country Parties reasserted the attitude that they had asserted so vigorously during the 1974 referendum campaign and again during the debates that took place in this chamber in 1 973 and 1 974. [More…]
Both constitutional writers and practice indicate that there is no real limit upon that man’s judgment to require a dissolution of the House. [More…]
We do not know who that man will be. [More…]
All members of the Liberal Party of Australia, including Senator Durack, said to a man 2 years ago that this alteration to the Constitution was unnecessary to achieve simultaneous elections. [More…]
He said only 2 days after the death: in the case of a death, it is logical to appoint a man from the same Party. [More…]
He was a man who debated the issues vigorously and without fear or favour, but who was without personal enemies in this place. [More…]
It was a measure of the man that in spite of his differences with Ivor Greenwood over a large range of issues they became very firm friends and had a great deal of affection for each other. [More…]
He came from Geraldton in the northwest of Western Australia, worked in very tough conditions throughout Western Australia and suffered many vicissitudes during the Depression. [More…]
In the passing of Harry Cant I think that the Australian Labor movement has lost one of its traditional members, one of the people who represented a very important strand in Australian society, a man who made a very great contribution to his Party, to the Australian working class and to the Australian Senate. [More…]
He was acknowledged by all as a man of integrity and high principle, of outstanding courage, with a passion for justice and with an enormous capacity for work. [More…]
Inflation hits the man on the land hardest of all. [More…]
From here on, a man is to be told that he will work in a particular place because if he does not work there and cannot get a job somewhere else he will virtually starve and will not get the unemployment benefit. [More…]
When a man is genuinely unemployed and has a family to support, I believe that he is entitled to social security benefits. [More…]
But, by the same token, I do not believe that any man or woman is entitled to sit down and receive a benefit from the taxpayer without making some effort to repay the people who are making the money available. [More…]
Whilst there are so many people unemployed, the money that we pay to the Government in the form of taxation is fast running out and the government may not have sufficient money to provide all the services, apart from social security, required by the Australian people. [More…]
Having listened to the honourable senator, I must say that he impressed me as being a man of capability and one who obviously intends to devote his efforts during the time that he is in this Parliament to highlighting the problems of the people who live and work in rural Australia. [More…]
I recall that a young man I know very well from a family I know very well applied for a job as a labourer. [More…]
This young man went out of that office quite disillusioned that the carrot of the unemployment benefit was dangled in front of him before he was asked what sort of job he required. [More…]
While there is a promise of more freedom for individuals and a promise to increase and foster the strength and independence and creativity of Australian people, it is clear that the sort of legislation to be brought down will make conditions worse for the ordinary working man and for the unions. [More…]
This man, the Prime Minister, has abandoned almost every promise he made during the last election campaign to the community in general, particularly those promises made to the poor and underprivileged in this country. [More…]
Because of that it is quite obvious that the ability of Australian manufacturers to compete by exporting overseas or, alternatively, by manufacturing in Australia or deciding whether to import into Australia goods which are manufactured overseas, has declined enormously. [More…]
If Australia can be grateful to Frank Crean for anything it can be grateful for his statement made in 1974 that one man’s pay rise is another man’s job. [More…]
In the manufacturing area 100 000 jobs have disappeared since 1973. [More…]
As a percentage of the work force, the manufacturing sector has declined from some 29 per cent about 10 years ago to around 21 per cent today. [More…]
1 ask: Is that the highest figure for man days lost in Australia since 1 929? [More…]
The attitude of management could be another reason that justified the termination of their employment. [More…]
When society does not have sufficient employment to offer everyone who is willing to work, it has compulsory idleness which is bad for the man who has not been trained to use his leisure time. [More…]
In regard to people who elect to be unemployed, it is much more beneficial to society to have such people unemployed than to have them employed in industry and taking the place, perhaps, of an individual or of a married man with family responsibilities who does not wish to be unemployed. [More…]
I do not think that he would say anything today that would denigrate or somewhat belittle Mr De Garis who is a capable man, and who knew what he was talking about when he made those remarks in 1 972. [More…]
I mentioned how they pioneered virgin land that was thought unfit for development during 100 years of settlement by white man. [More…]
His zeal and passion for justice and his capacity for work made him an outstanding man and senator. [More…]
Senator Lewis comes in his place with many gifts of mind and of person. [More…]
All education requires serious thought by every man about his relationship to society. [More…]
The failure to think about this leads to educational tyranny which is manifest in the classroom and the community at large. [More…]
Non-formal educationor forms of further education- can liberate man from the classroom and consequently its tyranny over his life choices. [More…]
Further education would increase man’s capacity to shape his environment, physical and social, and will give him the opportunity and the capacity to bring about change. [More…]
The presence of the monarch in our country, particularly here in the Parliament, has seen arise a little man as a promoter. [More…]
I do not think this was much more than an unmannerly exercise. [More…]
A year after he left the Senate in 1962 he was appointed Chairman of the Sydney County Council and he occupied that important position until 1965- some 2 years, when he achieved one of his lifelong ambitions to be democratically elected by the people of Sydney as its Lord Mayor. [More…]
The late Mr Armstrong was a man who loved people, a man with a great sense of humour, a man who had a love of life and an understanding of men. [More…]
Within the Labor movement he was known very affectionately as the ‘Golden Barman’. [More…]
He himself often said that, coming from Pyrmont, felt that in comparison with so many of his friends he had been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. [More…]
Indeed, on one nomination form I know of which he submitted as a candidate for Senate election he showed his occupation as that of barman. [More…]
I had many discussions with John Armstrong about the way in which the Australian film industry should be developed, and only a handful of people would know of the large part his knowledge of the industry, coupled with his great political acumen, actually played in the course the Labor Government charted in order to bring about the successful establishment of a commercially viable Australian film industry. [More…]
He was a very great man indeed. [More…]
I found him then to be very aware of the situation in which a young man coming into this chamber found himself, in needing a friend, a counsellor and an adviser. [More…]
On many occasions we hear references to people who have come right through the whole gamut of being a typical Australian, many of whom started their lives on the bottom rung of the ladder and achieved the highest possible level of success. [More…]
John Armstrong was a man who seemed to have the golden touch. [More…]
He was referred to earlier as the ‘Golden Barman’. [More…]
Many of them, of course, have become the very core of Australian citizenship today. [More…]
I think it speaks volumes for the capacity of the man that in similar circumstances most people would have squealed, whimpered or sulked. [More…]
As Senator Wriedt will appreciate, the then Minister for Repatriation in the Labor Government was Charlie Frost, who was a big, powerful man but who did not relish meeting an army of 50 angry women seeking to learn who would repair the houses and the fences since the War Service Homes Commissioner was not noted for speedy decisions. [More…]
The reply I received from that woman was symbolic of the attitude of the Armstrong family. [More…]
Is there any other code of sport where it is said that a man has butter fingers? [More…]
It means that if a senator believes in something his passions and feelings will overcome his inarticulation That has happened many times. [More…]
I look across the chamber and see many honourable senators who, when we wool them up a little, rise in their places and without notes give us curry. [More…]
I want to say this and I have said it before: He has been a member of the Regulations and Ordinances Committee, of which I am the chairman, for many years. [More…]
I do not think Senator Cavanagh would ever say that he was a man of high education; yet because of his work, development, initiative and resource he is able to make an interesting and very capable speech. [More…]
He is such a tall man that he could not bend down to read and the lectern was put up in front of him. [More…]
The only thing Senator Cavanagh did not relate to the chamber, and I think he will excuse me for relating it, is that the leader of the party to which that honourable senator belonged told Senator Cavanagh: ‘You destroyed that man; he will never make another speech’. [More…]
A small, fierce man approached the Press and said: ‘If anyone asks ABBA a single question the Commonwealth police will see that he leaves this area ‘. [More…]
Does the Minister know whether the statement attributed to the small fierce man is correct? [More…]
I can only assume that the small fierce man was not a Commonwealth policeman because there is some sort of height requirement for Commonwealth police. [More…]
I shall be very interested to find out who is this small fierce man. [More…]
In one case which is well known to the Department an employer has been waiting for over 12 months for a man to come to Australia. [More…]
It could be argued that the pregnancy of the man’s wife did jeopardise the position to a certain extent. [More…]
I understand that that man will be flying out to Australia this week. [More…]
I certainly am not renowned for taking up the cudgels on behalf of the employers but I think it is most unfair that that man in the building industry in New South Wales now has to mark time because of the ineptitude of others. [More…]
When the Premier of Queensland is beating his breast, to me he seems very close at times to that celebrated man of the southern States of America, Huey Long. [More…]
He spoke of the decline in the income of the man on the land, the decline in his living standards and his need to be assured that there is a future on the land for him and his family and that they can plan with confidence for that future. [More…]
Our Government is opposed not only to those who cheat on unemployment benefit but also to those in the community who cheat their fellow man in Australia. [More…]
He was acknowledged by all as a man of integrity and high principle, of outstanding courage, with a passion for justice and with an enormous capacity for work. [More…]
Who would man the industries so necessary for the wellbeing of us all? [More…]
Yet the man who just walked out of this chamber indicated that there were certain shortcomings in the Labor Government between 1972 and 1975 even though we were compelled, forced physically and electorally, to go to the people every 18 months. [More…]
There are 2 new wards at the hospital which cannot be opened because there is no staff to man them. [More…]
They would let white man confuse our people again with words and papers that they can make work and never for us. [More…]
His background shows that he was not only capable in his profession but he was also a very good organiser and a man of great principle. [More…]
Further, the Australian Government has a duty and a responsibility to investigate this matter and to take every possible measure to ensure the safety of this man of high moral principles. [More…]
I have greatly admired that man because of his strength and courage on issues. [More…]
As a consequence he found strength and ever since he has been a very strong man. [More…]
As great an admirer as I have been, just as that stand that he made about the South African footballers made him a strong man and gave him a reputation with the people as being a man of strength, I believe that if he caves in to the undue pressure exerted on him by the Prime Minister, by Mr Anthony, and by Mr Sparkes, the head of his own organisation in Queensland, he will destroy himself in the minds of the people as being a really strong man. [More…]
He was a man of very sterling character and with fighting characteristics. [More…]
I feel he is a man of simple, clear thinking which encourages me to believe that he will be a person who will give very clear, simple thought to matters in this chamber. [More…]
I commend him for the quality of his speech which he presented to the Senate, for the manner in which he has entered the life of parliament and the way in which he is going about his responsibilities. [More…]
It was a tragedy for this place and for the country that a man of such ability was taken from Australia so soon. [More…]
How many of these problems might be due to the worker’s attitude to his work and to the monotony of working- on a mass production line, particularly an assembly line where identical pieces are going past hour by hour, day by day? [More…]
Many people will not work overtimewhich has its effect- but they will take a day off. [More…]
The man who stays at home all day on unemployment benefits, even with a wife and family but with the odd moonlighting job round the corner, may be better off than the man who goes to work every day. [More…]
I know that my adversary, Senator Cotton, probably would agree with me because he is a man who seems to have a large heart and a great amount of feeling for the little people in this country. [More…]
In that article Mr Brewer, who is a Commonwealth Employment Service man, said that from his experience in a survey that had been done, 83 per cent of the unemployed had earned less than $105 net in their last job. [More…]
The changing roles of men and women in our society make it less unthinkable than it once was for a man to contemplate trying to bring up a family on his own. [More…]
A generation ago it would have been almost out of the question for a man to try to look after his children by himself. [More…]
Now, many men regard it as their duty to do so, if faced with the responsibility. [More…]
If a man comes home and finds himself in a sole parent situation, he has somewhere to turn. [More…]
I would be a bold man indeed to stand up in this place after the amount of study I have given the report and say ‘Yes, let us do what is suggested with repatriation hospitals’. [More…]
If it is talking about equality it should tell that to the migrant women in this community who have so many distressing things happening to them with no relief and who cannot, in so many cases, even speak the language. [More…]
If the Government really believes that people should be allowed to live their own lives in their own way does it believe that a man whose only means of making a livelihood lies in the skill he has in his 2 hands should be allowed to go out and sell that skill for the greatest rate he can obtain? [More…]
All I can say to the members of this Government is that if they truly believe in all that purple prose that they used when they said how they felt about the monarchy, I hope they will remember that the meanest of the Queen’s subjects is entitled to be treated like a human being and not like a chattel. [More…]
But if one compiles the list of actions by this man, Mr Malik, in relation to East Timor, that is a conclusion which is difficult to ignore. [More…]
This is one man, one citizen, who has taken the cause of East Timor to his heart and is prepared to jeopardise his job and his whole reputation. [More…]
-Last week Senator Wheeldon asked me a question concerning ABBA and a small fierce man in the Commonwealth Police at Perth airport. [More…]
-No, this man is just short. [More…]
It is not known if the question relative to ‘a small fierce man ‘ refers to the person who restrained the reporter on the grassed area, or to the Ansett traffic officer who spoke to the Press. [More…]
Nevertheless, at no time did any person request Commonwealth Police ‘to remove from the area any person who asked ABBA a single question’ nor would Commonwealth Police accede to such a request unless their duty demanded it. [More…]
We saw this evidenced and brought to its fruition in the tragedy of Vietnam where during the 1950s and the 1 960s, because of the mentality I mentioned earlier, a man like Ho Chi Minh, who was in fact a great national leader of the Vietnamese people, was persecuted by other governments not physically but in a political sense, because he was a communist. [More…]
I do not wish to dwell over the tragedy of Vietnam which has been debated so many times in this place. [More…]
Despite the ideological differences which are supposed to exist between the policies of Colonel Gaddafi, a man held in reverence in some quarters, and the Soviet Union, the fact remains that there are various very close relations between Colonel Gaddafi and the Soviet Union. [More…]
Nkomo is a man with a long record of being a moderate- a man who tried to do everything that conceivably could be done within the legal framework in Rhodesia and what was previously Southern Rhodesia. [More…]
I suppose that when we look back with the advantage of hindsight we see it is somewhat over and above the expectations of the ordinary mortal to expect that a man who was a hawk on the Vietnam issue for years would take such an attitude. [More…]
I remember the attitude of the man to Vietnam, the slogan ‘all the way with LBJ and the phrases about the downward thrust of Chinese communism and those big red arrows pointing towards Australia. [More…]
It is a little difficult to expect that a man of that calibre would now in any way whatsoever have his Government work with other littoral states towards a zone of peace in the Indian Ocean. [More…]
This is a man and a government which, since they came to power in 1975, have granted increased military aid to Indonesia whilst that country has been conducting a war of genocide. [More…]
If action such as this is to be taken as an example of the Fraser Government’s intent, one supposes that one will wait in vain for it to act in a manner conducive to peace in the Indian Ocean or in any other area of the world. [More…]
The landlord, the big man, buys him out, takes him over and goes on to make a very comfortable living. [More…]
With so many problems throughout the world, each year, each day, we hope that we will see a change in attitudes. [More…]
One has only to look to Africa to see the problems, the tragedies and the inhumanities of man towards man which are taking place there. [More…]
In many cases they are conflicts of black against black. [More…]
Some of the tragedies are taking place because of the dictatorial attitude- power without glory if I can put it this way- of man against his fellow man. [More…]
These problems occur in many other places but particularly in the area of South East Asia. [More…]
Perhaps these are hangovers from the Vietnam War but, nevertheless, they are tragedies of man against man and the disrespect for humanity in the world. [More…]
The effect of the tensions within the Middle East which we have seen over many years is still continuing. [More…]
One would hope that as time goes on there may be more sanity within our globe and that man will show more respect to man. [More…]
Finally, 1 hope that all nations as time goes by will play in international affairs perhaps not a bigger role than they are playing today but a more responsible role than they have played in the past and will not overlook the fact that, while power politics might be very important, the most important overall factor is man himself. [More…]
I hope that more prominence will be given to the inhumanities that have taken place in preceding years and generations and that more respect will be paid irrespective of race, colour or creed by man for his fellow man. [More…]
I have asked the Minister representing the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Senator Withers, about the man who left Canberra on an Australian passport. [More…]
I refer to what was said by Senator Wright, an eminent honourable senator who was a spokesman on foreign affairs for a couple.of weeks. [More…]
A great United States General, Matthew Ridgway, the man who had to take over after General MacArthur and get the United States out of Korea, suggested that one of the lessons to be learnt was that the United States should never again send its infantry to mainland Asia. [More…]
A man in that group who was well known to John Wheeldon was the then Secretary of the Labor Party, William Colbourne. [More…]
I noted during question time this morning that the Minister for Social Security (Senator Guilfoyle) appeared to be most uncomfortable when my colleague Senator Grimes, the Labor Party spokesman on social security, was asking some leading questions about what will happen in the Budget in relation to social security payments. [More…]
He is the man who has set the ball rolling. [More…]
He is the man who is getting even more testy with the Minister for Social Security. [More…]
He is the man who will decide how much money will be spent in that area. [More…]
Dr Bealey was trying to help that’s the only man trying to help us. [More…]
A man took his wife and sister to a hotel for a counter tea. [More…]
The man asked why. [More…]
The next day this man, who is a teachers’ aide at one of the schools in the town, went to see the manager. [More…]
He realised when he met the manager that the manager was the first employee he had seen in the hotel. [More…]
He asked the manager how long the ban would be in force. [More…]
When pressed the manager agreed that it was not fair but said: ‘You all look the same. [More…]
Honourable senators on both sides of the chamber recognise the many courageous stands made by Senator Bonner over the past 12 months, whether they believe in them or not. [More…]
During the hearings of the various select committees on which I have accompanied Senator Bonner, as Chairman of the Joint Committee on Aboriginal Land Rights in the Northern Territory or on other matters relating to the Aboriginal people he was received most cordially and recognised as a man of distinction amongst Aboriginal people. [More…]
Returning to the situation of Dr Goff Letts, I believe that this whole debate is for the purpose of making derogatory remarks about a very honourable man, a man who is sincere, genuine, and doing his best for the Aboriginal and other people of the Northern Territory. [More…]
He has responsibilities, but I think a lot of people are afraid and are not prepared to recognise him as a most honourable man. [More…]
In seeking to deny the ramifications of mining industry growth, this Government is not only in error, it is also in sin because it is wicked to mislead farmers in the manner that the Government is doing. [More…]
It entails either shrinkage of the agricultural and manufacturing sectors or growth of the tertiary sector. [More…]
But such adjustments are unlikely to take place under this Government because its economic policy is dictated by the whims of one man whose economic views are based not on rational analysis but on political ideology. [More…]
If this gentleman- I use the word very generously in view of the way in which he has written this article- Mr Brian Hoad, had really wanted to write an article on the problems that occurredthere were problems; I will talk about those later- all he had to do was not to take the word of one man. [More…]
I would say that this man was responsible to a large extent, if not the full extent, for the problems that occurred in Lagos. [More…]
I understand that this man has been with the Arts Board for some nine or ten years. [More…]
For the man to say that John Moriarty and the activists, as he calls them, dumped the traditional people into this hotel was quite wrong. [More…]
In the article there is a continual denigration of Aboriginal people by a man who did not even go to the festival. [More…]
As I said, Hoad did not attend the festival and he could have had no more idea than the man in the moon of what happened there. [More…]
Most Australians have never met an Aboriginal man, woman or child; they only comprise 1 per cent of the population. [More…]
During the day the competent officer who handles legal aid at the court was able to see the man concerned and, before the day was out, the matter was finalised, he having received sufficient advice and being then able to understand his rights. [More…]
It is quite anomalous that a man of Mr Atkinson ‘s outstanding ability is being lost to the Australian Public Service because the Victorian Public Service pays the comparable position a significantly higher amount. [More…]
The registrar is the man who should have knowledge of the provisions of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act. [More…]
He was a United Nations man and he had to have a measure of security guaranteed, but he was unable to get that measure of security. [More…]
I am quoting Mr Michael Hodgman, a member from your State. [More…]
I believe that he is a man of great integrity, a man who is making his own judgment and acting as an individual. [More…]
I suggest that the careful remarks of a man like that and the precautions which he took are evidence that the conclusions to which he came on the facts that he examined are conclusions that we should treat with considerable respect. [More…]
There are many things that an investigation could do. [More…]
I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to find out whether what had been said was an exaggeration and whether this man was known there and whether anything was known about this party. [More…]
Since I was in search of the truth I was not much concerned about this man’s opinion. [More…]
I had better not express the opinion I gave when I was asked what I thought of the man by the other two members of the party who were with me. [More…]
What I thought about the man would probably suit my argument now. [More…]
This man Sydell did not have 2 pennies to rub together. [More…]
To take the canning fruit or the apple and pear industries as an example, the fruit is marketed at a price, the middle man is paid and the producer gets what is left. [More…]
These days in many cases not enough is left to warrant production. [More…]
I refer firstly to the Chairman, Mr Gordon Leckie, as he is known to me. [More…]
He has had a very long and distinguished background with the Gas and Fuel Corporation in Victoria, and obviously is a man with considerable experience in marketing. [More…]
I think the industry was distinctly fortunate to have a man of his calibre accept the office of Chairman of the Corporation. [More…]
Mr Muir, the Managing Director of the Ardmona fruit cannery in our area, who also is a member of the Corporation, has been associated with international marketing of fruit for the past 30 years. [More…]
I concede the problems of this industry in Tasmania, but I accept the Government’s decision as reasonable and proper in all the circumstances. [More…]
The average payment to get a man out of this privileged monopolistic force was $14,555 for redundancy and $2,960 for long service leave. [More…]
I would not for one day renounce the opportunity of standing here to demand on behalf of those growers an increased payment from $2 to $3 a case this year. [More…]
If at the time he concludes his service in this chamber he has served one-tenth as well in representing the people of his own State and the people of Australia as Senator Wright has done then 1 think he will die a much happier man than I believe he will. [More…]
They are not worried about whether they are taught in a school in classes held in a building of white man’s construction, or whether they are taught under the trees. [More…]
Too many white man’s decisions and not enough Aborigines’ decisions have been made. [More…]
At a place like Pipylatjara honourable senators can find an Aboriginal man who is totally prepared, totally equipped and totally educated to be able to carry on. [More…]
Quite obviously, the Minister is a sincere man, and the paper he has produced relating to the setting up of the National Aboriginal Education Committee I believe is a major milestone in the education of Aboriginal people in Australia. [More…]
On many occasions the women did not see another white woman for perhaps 6 months or a year, but at least they had friends among the Aboriginal people. [More…]
That is obvious today when one sees the many Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory who are in their fifties and sixties. [More…]
When one sees the way that they are able to carry themselves in a white man’s society one can understand the education they must have had over the years. [More…]
A story is told about a Polish immigrant woman living in the city of Chicago in the 1 930s. [More…]
A man who became a fine SolicitorGeneral of the United States, Homer Cummings, opened the case and her son was exonerated. [More…]
-I am making the point very clear that there are too many of these people who talked about production have never done any worthwhile work, including the Treasurer. [More…]
He is always sneering at the manual worker. [More…]
He will tell them the sort of lurk man the Treasurer was. [More…]
Those are the words of a very honest man. [More…]
Last year when I was in Arnhem Land I asked an Aboriginal man whether his 4 sons were going to school. [More…]
Then he added, and this is interesting, that he had one son who was going to school to learn about the white man’s ways. [More…]
So this one child on the mission will be the go-between for this man and the rest of his sons who will be brought up to the nomadic way of life according to the old culture. [More…]
There are many problems ahead in ensuring that as many Aboriginal children as possible are educated. [More…]
He talked about the man in Arnhem Land with 4 sons, three of whom were to be trained in nomadic or bush ways and one of whom was to stay at school. [More…]
The motives which influence a man to enlist in an armed force which is not that of his own country may run through the whole gamut from sheer desire to private gain accompanied by indifference as to the cause which that force is supporting to a conscientious conviction that the merits of that cause are so great as to justify his sacrificing his own life if need be in order to ensure that it will triumph . [More…]
In company with Senator Gietzelt and Mr Ken Fry, a member of the other place, I questioned them very closely and received what I would term many pertinent answers to the questions I asked. [More…]
As I have said before in this chamber, perhaps because of the pigmentation of my skin they felt that they had something in common with me- a coloured man. [More…]
At that time they were seeking some humanitarian assistance from any country that was prepared to give it but particularly from Australia. [More…]
That is the kind of thing I learnt when I talked to the leaders of the Fretilin movement who have been accused, on many occasions by many people, of being on the extreme Left and of being communist. [More…]
I believe I am a humanitarian. [More…]
We are like a man who is drowning in a stream and if the free countries of the world. [More…]
Whence, bludger ( sometimes a man living on immoral earnings of women). [More…]
They include a man with two children, who has hud seven job refusals from the Commonwealth Employment Service since mid January and another with three children who has had nine. [More…]
The man with two children lives in a caravan and collects $87.50 unemployment relief weekly plus child endowment. [More…]
One of the most blatant they have handled in recent times was the case of a married man with five children who was receiving $ 109 plus endowment weekly and earning up to $40 a duy working privately. [More…]
There are numerous errors of fact in this article and many aspects of it which are deliberately misleading. [More…]
For instance, the article states that the man with 2 children lives in a caravan and collects $87.50 unemployment relief weekly, plus child endowment. [More…]
The article also states that the man with 3 children owns his own home and collects $104 a week plus endowment, all tax free. [More…]
-I will come back to that in a moment and mention why 1 think the man does have a wife. [More…]
As I was saying, the man with 3 children is stated to own his own home and to collect $104 a week, plus endowment, all tax free. [More…]
In a quite authoritative manner the newspaper tells the world about dole bludgers- not alleged dole bludgers but one who it says is on the peninsula and one whom it describes in detail. [More…]
Let me say that I do not accept its statements, but many readers would accept them as truth. [More…]
The article states first of all that the alleged dole bludgers include a man with 2 children who has refused 7 job offers from the Commonwealth Employment Service since mid-January and another man with 3 children who has refused 9 job offers. [More…]
The article mentions the man who lives in a caravan and collects $87.50 unemployment relief, plus child endowment. [More…]
I make bold to suggest that laws will not be sufficient to enforce a desire on the part of the Government to encourage people to scab, because the odium which attaches to a man who declines to obey a majority decision of his fellows in a situation like that will be sufficient deterrent to prevent people from taking this extreme course. [More…]
Of course Mr Crean, who was one of his several Treasurers, said so clearly that one man’s wage rise was another man’s job. [More…]
The Bureau is to be an industrial ombudsman. [More…]
We believe in individual freedom and that this Bureau will be an industrial ombudsman. [More…]
It is to be a place where any man or woman can go. [More…]
It is a place where any man or woman can go to express opposition to any organisation rule or to any industrial action being taken by the union. [More…]
The economics of permanence implies a profound reorientation of science and technology, which have to open their doors to wisdom and, in fact, have to incorporate wisdom into their very structure. [More…]
Scientific and technological ‘solutions’ which poison the environment or degrade the social structure or man himself are of no benefit, no matter how brilliantly conceived or how great their superficial attraction. [More…]
The Australian Parliament has a responsibility to acknowledge and to recognise that for long after every man here has ceased to sit in the Senate or in another place the relationship between Indonesia and Australia will go on and on. [More…]
We have to establish a stability in this area in the context, whether we like it or not, of that great nation of 120, 130 or 140 million people- how many people is not important- which lies to our immediate north. [More…]
Endless opportunities lie at the hands of the Australian Government to repair in a manifest way what may be the wrongdoings that have occurred as a result of indecisions by the Australian Government or, perhaps, improper decisions by the Australian Government over the past five or six years. [More…]
I have already mentioned the fear of Indonesia that so many of them had. [More…]
A young man fluent in the language was able to translate what was coming over the radio. [More…]
An older man told me with some pride that he had been trained as a parachutist by the Australians. [More…]
Again there was silence and a young man leaned across to me and said: ‘Respect of women is very important in Timor’. [More…]
There was silence because the older man had 2 teenage daughters still in Timor. [More…]
As a ‘good man’, anxious not only to develop his pan of the island, but also to develop good relations with the Indonesians. [More…]
The ABC has not yet completed its preparation for the transfer of the existing ethnic stations 2EA and 3EA from the Postal and Telecommunications Department and to my knowledge has not made plans at this stage for the extension of a service to cities other man Sydney and Melbourne. [More…]
I understand from the Minister for Health that it is true that pet tortoises are capable of harbouring salmonella organisms and they are thus a potential source of infection in man. [More…]
However, it is pointed out that typhoid is only one of a very large number of salmonella organisms which cause human infection, the others being by far more common. [More…]
In the brief time that I was Minister for Manufacturing Industry I realised that I had had a very sick child on my hands, or rather a very sick old man, because already it was showing signs of senility. [More…]
I met with most of the leaders of industry and I was persuaded- I am still persuaded- that one of the things that aggravated the problems of manufacturing industry was the spectacular 28 per cent rise in wages in 1974 which so eroded the retained earnings of manufacturing firms that their gearing ratio was upset and many of them were facing bankruptcy. [More…]
It was the thought, as much as anything else, of the massive unemployment which faced people in the manufacturing industry that led me to become an advocate of wage restraint when I became Minister for Labor and Immigration. [More…]
But as this report of the Jackson Committee will show, it is a gross oversimplification of the problems of manufacturing industry, and it is an exaggeration that we hear every day from our opponents, to say that all the difficulties of manufacturing industry are due to the excessive wage demands of the unions and that if only the unions could be put in their place all would be well with manufacturing industry. [More…]
Now its problems, as this variegated Committee pointed out, go much more deeply than that and are based on the history of manufacturing industry in Australia which could get off the ground in the first place only if it were given more protection than is probably healthy for any manufacturing industry. [More…]
It is notorious of the British who, when they were colonising people, did not foster manufacturing industry. [More…]
It was only when Australia began to assert some claims to independence that it became necessary to give the sort of protection without which manufacturing industry would not have arisen in Australia. [More…]
The small man is going out of business. [More…]
That interjection came from a man who was against the referendum. [More…]
He is a married man with 4 children. [More…]
I rang the officer and complained that this man had been unemployed for 6 months; that he was living in one room with 4 children in a house that was rented by his mother-in-law; that he was genuinely seeking employment; that he had a job to go to but could not go unless he had about $160 to get his furniture transferred to Blackwood. [More…]
The officer told me that the man did not qualify for the scheme because the job to which he was going was not a firm offer of employment. [More…]
Last Friday I again rang because the man was getting desperate. [More…]
He had an offer of a job at Chapman’s Factory in Nairne, about 30 miles from Adelaide. [More…]
The First Assistant Secretary, Management and Secretariat Division of the Department of Employment and Industrial Relations said: [More…]
This man should be reimbursed for the cost of his furniture being transported to Brukunga. [More…]
Honourable senators will know that in response to several questions by Senator Walters about a young man at the ANU I suggested that it would be competent upon the ANU to provide opting out processes. [More…]
I recall that in the days of the Eisenhower presidency in the United States there was a man named Charles Wilson who had been the General Manager of General Motors in the United States. [More…]
There has never been an industry with fewer disputes or greater co-operation between management and unions than the motor body building industry. [More…]
According to our law of justice it was found to be a wrongful dismissal but the company would not take him back until all avenues in law were explored, simply for the purpose of keeping the man involved unemployed. [More…]
For this man to carry out his business all this had to be done first. [More…]
This was carried out at a fair cost to the man himself. [More…]
Finally, compare the Minister’s statement with the fact that despite all of the obstacles placed in his way, including the problems with the Department of Administrative Services and the Department of Transport Aufferber has still managed to keep a limited business going, pay all his debts, run an office close to Brisbane, pay wages to his staff, who incidentally have been with him for 16 years, and often without proper wages, trusting in the ability of Aufferber to succeed in the long run, and he has still been able to show a small profit. [More…]
I shall return to a summary of the man before I close. [More…]
But that is the sort of man Mr Aufferber is. [More…]
Mr Aufferber is a remarkable man. [More…]
I repeat: Mr Aufferber is a remarkable man. [More…]
He was interned by the Germans. [More…]
He survived, and indeed escaped from, a German concentration camp. [More…]
There, refugees were treated worse than in Germany. [More…]
The man who had interviewed him constantly had, subsequent to each interview, apparently obstructed the application. [More…]
That man found a job with the competitor within the week. [More…]
I think those remarks are sufficient to show that this man has suffered greatly. [More…]
He came to a country where he believed that a man, by the sweat of his brow, by his own initiative and by his own hard work, could get somewhere in life. [More…]
I hope that having given this matter a bit of airing here tonight something can be done for a man who I believe is worthy of calling himself, as he does, a true blue Australian. [More…]
As a result, I had a long discussion with my permanent head and we sent from Canberra to Brisbane a very senior Second Division officer to investigate the allegations made by Mr Lamont. [More…]
He is a man of great capacity within the Public Service. [More…]
The simple fact is that this man apparently had a viable working business 4 years ago. [More…]
It would be possible for this man to be trading and fulfilling contracts for scrap metal if he were allowed access to his property and if he were allowed access from his property to the ports. [More…]
Because of the saga involving roads and bridges and all sorts of other things- it seems to me to involve the most incredible bungling at all levels of government- this man has scrap metal sitting on that property. [More…]
He is a self-made man. [More…]
I see that a woman in Sydney and a man in Whyalla in South Australia have been charged with the murder of a 3-year-old child. [More…]
-I would be a very bold man if I were to give legal opinions from my place in the Senate, even if I were allowed to do so. [More…]
The real crunch of my criticism is in the paragraph which stated that it had been established that the task would occupy a total of some 78 man weeks before the officers could assess the extent of the award breaches. [More…]
In addition calculations are being made manually by the Inspectorate in respect of the records which are currently available. [More…]
It had been estimated that the task will occupy a total of some 78 man weeks and my Department is therefore purchasing programmable calculators with a view to expediting completion of the task. [More…]
I know that on many occasions there are misunderstandings about award definitions. [More…]
What annoys me is that the inspection will involve 78 man weeks. [More…]
Secondly, whether or not that company’s contract is renewed, it has refused to co-operate and will cost the Australian taxpayer 78 man weeks of investigation and it merits punishment. [More…]
That man was under the influence of alcohol and abused the customs official. [More…]
My information is that no action was taken against James Richardson Pty Ltd but the customs officer was chided for approaching the man. [More…]
It concerns a man named Joseph Costanzo, a member of the FEDFA, who has been in Australia for 39 years. [More…]
I spoke to the Italian Consul-General in Sydney who rightly said to me: ‘Well, it is obvious that this man is seeking Australian citizenship. [More…]
This man could produce income tax vouchers and evidence of 20-odd years of membership of various trade unions. [More…]
I have written already to him today to the effect that I believe that our society should take some appropriate action regarding the case of that man who is lying close to death. [More…]
I have known cases- without going into the ethnic groups concernedwhere a man has a wife and a large family of eight or nine children. [More…]
He is a most astute man, an intellectual man and a man of judgment. [More…]
They are not my words but the words of an experienced House of Commons man. [More…]
How grumpy a man would be accused of being if he vetoed that. [More…]
I quote now Mr Justice Brandeis, notorious for his understanding of the needs of the ordinary trade union and the working man who wants to work and earn in a prosperous society. [More…]
It has fought long and assiduously to improve the conditions of the average working man and woman. [More…]
This is like the ‘labour only’ jobs in the building trades where people frequently have to put up with substandard work because the master builder, the man whom controls all the subcontractors, is the man who makes the rake-off. [More…]
In those days many friends of the State government were able to buy the railway land, buildings, rolling-stock, railway lines- just about everything that went with it- on the cheap, from the bargain basement. [More…]
Within 8 months he has been to Malaysia, Singapore, New Zealand, Papua-New Guinea, Japan, China, Hong Kong, Manila, Canada, US and Indonesia. [More…]
It also shows that politicians regard the voter as a man of little intelligence and a very short memory. [More…]
I do not have the permission of the very successful cattle man to use his name because I was not able to contact him today. [More…]
Mr Fancher described Todd as a man with banking affiliations. [More…]
This man said so at an open inquiry. [More…]
In the circumstances you mention where a woman shares a house with a man but does not have a de factor marriage relationship with him, and she receives no financial support, her eligibility to receive a pension is not affected. [More…]
I do not know whether merely because a man is born in a country he has to be tagged with that country for the rest of his life, irrespective of where his true place of residence might be. [More…]
I instance the case of a man aged 58 years who has had a stroke. [More…]
Whether it happens to be the plumber, the television man, or any other service personnel these are the things which lead to charges such as the honourable senator quoted -in the vicinity of $14, $15, $16 or $20 an hour. [More…]
It would be a bold and presumptuous man who would pretend to match his eloquence. [More…]
He is a most astute man, an intellectual man and a man of judgment. [More…]
I saw him and listened to him as a man like Hotspur who summoned spirits from the vasty deep which would not come. [More…]
I thought he failed to face up to some of the very key facts about the nature of our society- about questions such as the restructuring of industry, the decline of manufacturing industry in Australia, the need for a manpower policy and the complex nature of the industrial relations scene. [More…]
I would have thought that Senator Wright, a man for whose ability I have a great respect, might have made a greater contribution in this debate to the contemporary problems about which he talks if he had pursued with more vigour his own convictions of 1959- nearly 20 years ago- when he was just passed the peak of his career as a parliamentarian. [More…]
The delusions, as I say, of 1975 of the Fraser Government about what it could do in this country have been shown to be false and manifestly delusions. [More…]
They are difficult problems for us all to deal with and I think, if we do not face up to them in a very real way, the sort of fears which a man like he has will continue to be justified and will get worse as the institution of parliament is seen not to be an achiever, as parliament is seen to be an under-achieving institution. [More…]
We still find ourselves living in what I have described before as the century of the homeless man. [More…]
I know that some people talk about another chamber as being the all important chamber but over the almost 28 years that I have been in this Parliament I have never seen a more ‘yes man ‘ instrumentality than that chamber. [More…]
It is very nice of our yes man Whip to say: ‘You would not have another Field’. [More…]
That happened in Queensland where they chose a Labor man. [More…]
He was a Labor man. [More…]
But to our yes man Liberal Whip I say that the man who started this business was the Liberal Premier of New South Wales, Mr Lewis, as he should recall. [More…]
This is the very man who accused a high executive of the New South Wales ALP as being under the influence of the CIA. [More…]
Freddie Nichol in Queensland alleged that he had information or suspicion that the CIA was involved in the internal affairs of the Federated Storemen and Packers Union of Australia in Tasmania in 1970 and 1971 and that money and advice were given to that organisation or to the anticommunists in that organisation in Tasmania. [More…]
He was referring to the time when the federal body of the Storemen and Packers Union attempted to take control of the Tasmanian branch of the union and to turn it from a moderate influence within the trade union movement to a left influence in the movement. [More…]
I think that it is still following the old philosophy of the former Prime Minister, Mr Menzies, who said that the best foreman one could get on a job results from 50 men waiting at the gate for one man’s job. [More…]
One young man with a smallish farm said to me: ‘My neighbour who just built a new 3-bedroom brick veneer home was able to get money. [More…]
I still do not know how long it is going to take one of our officers in Rome to go to Naples to check on this man’s birth certificate and to send a Telex back to Canberra. [More…]
Whether this man was born in Naples in 1937 or 1938 is only a minor matter. [More…]
I suggest to the Minister for Social Security, who is now at the table, that we should send a special officer to that hospital within the next fortnight to confer citizenship on that man, who is battling for his life. [More…]
I have noted the request that was made for special attention to be given to establishing the date of birth and other necessary information concerning this man. [More…]
If the company itself were to take the advice of the Department and sack this man because of a decision by the Department of Aboriginal Affairs, where would be stand in the community if he applied for a similar job? [More…]
One of the directors or possibly two have been offered the manager’s job but they have refused it because they have confidence in the white manager. [More…]
They want the white manager to stay, as do many other people living on the Point McLeay reserve who signed a petition about which I have spoken. [More…]
They have every confidence in this man and they have also signed a petition of no confidence in the present members of the Point McLeay Council who come up for re-election on Saturday of this week. [More…]
Another passenger was Mr Ben Hammond, a young man of tremendous promise. [More…]
Also killed was Dr Les Power, State Government appointee to the North Queensland Electricity Board and former alderman of the Townsville City Council. [More…]
He was a man who had many years of life in front of him and a man of tremendous academic qualification and potential. [More…]
It is a sad thing, but I think it ought to go on record that all of those killed were prominent in public life, some of them over many years. [More…]
The people I have mentioned made a tremendous contribution to the life of North Queensland, particularly the academic man, who was a tutor of many young people. [More…]
I suppose it was only by a long shot of fate that the Deputy Mayor of Townsville was not on the flight also, and that my wife was not a member of that delegation as an alderman of the Townsville City Council. [More…]
I take the opportunity tonight to speak of a man for whom I had great respect and admiration. [More…]
I knew him as a man of sensitivity and the greatest integrity. [More…]
He was a man who had great capacity, but above all he had the ability, as Senator Wriedt has said, to report objectively. [More…]
He was a ‘factual’ man and an ‘actual’ man. [More…]
He was a man of reality and a man who was completely removed from the type of journalism which one sees so often these days, that of sensationalism. [More…]
He was a happy man in so many ways that he commanded admiration and respect from very many people. [More…]
He was a man of great professional integrity. [More…]
It is emphasised by the fact that we can talk tonight of a man from the journalist profession, which is a highly controversial one, and that we can say from both sides of the chamber that we walked with him as friends, that we judged his writings as being objective and perceptive, and that we walked with a man of good humour, grace and dignity. [More…]
We now record that as a relatively young man, with a first class career ahead of him, he has been stricken down by a terminal illness which he fought with great dignity and bravery but which terminated his life. [More…]
Therefore, on behalf of the Government, I join in a tribute to a man who has been a good Australian and who has added to the quality of life of us all. [More…]
Any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind - [More…]
I wonder whether in serving the Free Polish Government in Exile this man, in terms of the Act as it is drawn, qualifies for a benefit. [More…]
I wonder whether Nelson’s blind eye cannot be turned, in repatriation matters at any rate, to many of the claims that are made. [More…]
A good deal of argument and many submissions have been put up to the effect that it should be so extended. [More…]
If that were done it would comprehend a person such as the man mentioned by Senator Cavanagh who served under British command but as part of the Polish Air Force. [More…]
Other Polish forces served under British command. [More…]
As regards the matter raised by Senator Cavanagh, it would appear that consideration has to be given to the question of whether the former Polish airman received a disability pension from the British Government. [More…]
I understand from what Senator Cavanagh said that this man suffered some disability. [More…]
Apparently he decided to terminate the payment of the pension after determining that this man does not qualify. [More…]
I do not know whether the Department was acting as an agent for the British Government or whether the pension was granted by the Australian Government, and I do not think the man concerned knows who was actually paying it. [More…]
That is a humiliating experience for a man who has provided for his family all his life. [More…]
In addition calculations are being made manually by the Inspectorate in respect of the records which are currently available. [More…]
It had been estimated that the task will occupy a total of some 78 man weeks and my Department is therefore purchasing programmable calculators with a view to expediting completion of the task. [More…]
In addition calculations are being made manually by the Inspectorate in respect of the records which are currently available. [More…]
It had been estimated that the task will occupy a total of some 78 man weeks and my Department is therefore purchasing programmable calculators with a view to expediting completion of the task. [More…]
Senator Bishop already has read out the paragraph in the letter from the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations (Mr Street) to Senator Mulvihill which shows that it is estimated that the task will occupy some 78 man weeks. [More…]
As far as the 78 man weeks are concerned, I think that if the Commonwealth Arbitration Inspectorate had had access instantly to time sheets for the 3 years it could have completed the inquiry, but my information is that time sheets had to be sent from Sydney to Melbourne in dribs and drabs so that the whole thing has been prolonged. [More…]
I cannot understand why the matter has been so complex as to warrant a 78 man weeks investigation. [More…]
Organisations like the Commonwealth Employment Service, which, Vh years ago was run by paying one man $50 a week are now costing the Federal Government a tremendous sum of money, with a full-time officer, housed, and a suite of offices to pay for. [More…]
As I mentioned in the debate, the employee had a permanent job to go to which would give him 3 or 4 days work a week. [More…]
As a result of that mistake as I think it was by officers of the Department the man was left on unemployment benefits for a further 8 weeks. [More…]
As a family man with 4 children he was being paid $107 a week unemployment benefits. [More…]
It would have cost the Department only $ 1 84.50 to transport him and his family and belongings to the place of permanent employment. [More…]
My attention was drawn to the case of a man who had been attending an office of the Commonwealth Employment Service in the near Brisbane area. [More…]
He was a person for whom it was difficult to find employment- we know that there are many such people- but he was genuinely looking for work. [More…]
The man was put back on the register. [More…]
The fee Mr Comans is being paid is only for the task for which he was engaged. [More…]
The fee of $134.96 a day that Mr Comans is being paid was arrived at in the manner explained to the Committee and it did have these loadings added to it. [More…]
Surely none of them would challenge the payment of $134.96 a day as being an improper fee for a man of Mr Comans ‘ eminence as a lawyer and in his special field as a Queen’s Counsel. [More…]
Any man who has practised law knows that High Court judges earn their keep. [More…]
I hope that there will be some formula which will take into account the changes brought about by purely fortuitous factors, such as market values, climatic conditions, man days lost through strikes, the supplies of necessary raw materials being delayed, and things of that sort. [More…]
This statement caused great concern to every man and woman who works in the railways in South Australia. [More…]
This statement was made by the General Manager of the Australian National Railways. [More…]
As I see it- as honourable senators probably know I am an old railway workshop man- there is still a necessary role for railways in Australia. [More…]
The Minister will know that although everybody said that the railways were finished in Europe, the fact is that in Europe, and particularly in Germany, the railways carried the burden of supplies for armies on both sides during the Second World War. [More…]
When the Whitlam Government left office it was necessary for a man and his wife both to work and for one-quarter of their collective incomes to go towards the purchase of even the most modest home. [More…]
The Tacts are that, but for the mining industry, the man on the land would be racing a far better future than the dismal one he now must inevitably come to terms with. [More…]
Who was the first man to put his name down to get a trip? [More…]
Who was the man who stood up in this Parliament month after month criticising one of our best customers for all the wrong things he claimed they do? [More…]
The issues claim that the man is not a quack. [More…]
Above all, I make the point that this man who is carrying out the treatment in Rarotonga is not a qualified medical practitioner. [More…]
Not only did he give the facts but also he attached to his Press statement an absolutely damning indictment of the man and his methods which had been issued by the Medical Council of New Zealand. [More…]
The Council could not have issued the document earlier than it did in April this year because for 3 years legal proceedings were underway in an attempt to deregister this man. [More…]
This man has set them up as prey for money-making activities. [More…]
This man left Czechoslovakia in 1968. [More…]
This man has claimed, and the Truth newspaper has published his claims, that he has done something which has never been done in the world before. [More…]
In fact the New Zealand authorities looked at the records in Auckland where this man had worked for some years. [More…]
The man is a liar. [More…]
The victims of cancer suffer because when they are desperate enough even a man like this might look attractive. [More…]
We feel it is important that the relevant authorities in Australia, including the Executives of your insurance corporations, know the facts regarding this man. [More…]
My Council is satisfied that this man has no University or medical training and that he represents a very real danger to patients who have cancer, and to those who think they may have cancer. [More…]
The New Zealanders have gone to extreme lengths to document the falsehood of almost every claim put forward by this man- and still Australians are going to Rarotonga. [More…]
It has examined every aspect of this man’s background. [More…]
It is to the credit of the chairman of their medical council that he would not stand for it and resigned his position. [More…]
Many of them have patients who have been to the Cook Islands and come back dissatisfied. [More…]
They have told some horrific tales, including the tale of a man who was placed on an aeroplane for the return trip and who died a short while later while the flight was in progress. [More…]
Only then do the facts fit in: A man with a criminal background, known to be a perjurer, known to have obtained registration by fraud, known to be unqualified, known to have given unsatisfactory service in New Zealand, known to have withdrawn his appeal so that he would not have to face any cross-examination in court; a man for whom special arrangements somehow were made in the Cook Islands, arrangements which bring no credit upon that country; a man who has started to charge increased prices now that he has a captive clientele. [More…]
One can only wonder that this man has prospered when he is so clearly unqualified to do so. [More…]
These people, whether they are selling lantana juice, whether they are burying people in manure or whether they are like Mr Brych in Raratonga and are just ripping off the innocent, they claim victimisation. [More…]
If there is something in this man’s treatment, let him publish it and share it. [More…]
It is just unthinkable that we should do anything to support this man’s activities, that we should send blood gathered from volunteers in Australia to help him in Raratonga, or that we should do anything to improve facilities for travel to his clinic. [More…]
They should come up with a plan that would epitomise the vision of the honourable Clyde Cameron and the honourable James Coleman. [More…]
I believe that the Coleman-Cameron plan should be taken up by the Australian Minister and his equivalent Minister across the Tasman Sea. [More…]
If this quack- Senator Baume used other terms in relation to this man- wants to come to Australia, I believe that at the moment, with our easy visa system, we would have great difficulty stopping him. [More…]
I draw it to his attention in the context of the amount of talk in this place and elsewhere about man- days lost through industrial disputes in this country. [More…]
The number of man-days lost through industrial disputes in this country is relatively small, if one compares the man-days lost through industrial disputes with the man-days lost through industrial accidents. [More…]
Senator Lewis, who is attending very astutely to what I say, might reflect on the fact that the number of man-days lost through unemployment is significantly more than the number of man-days lost through industrial action. [More…]
In talking about the malaise in manufacturing industry in Australia, it made the point very strongly that the work force had a shocking record of industrial accidents and that that was a tremendously significant factor in man-days lost. [More…]
The number of man-days lost through industrial accidents was far in excess of the number of man-days lost through industrial action in any year of recorded history in Australia. [More…]
He strongly condemned the establishment of a bureau which comprises only one man. [More…]
I think the reason for this is that the qualifications of a man of this sort will be particularly special. [More…]
Obviously it will be looking for a man of high calibre and high integrity as is indicated by the salary to be paid and the independence that he will have of the Minister and of the Government, which is also a feature of his office. [More…]
One might disagree with Mr Hawke from time to time but he is not a man who would indulge in such pettiness in the industrial relations arena as this legislation does. [More…]
This man, who is the head of the trade union movement, was threatened with the legal support of non-union and scab labour and with the invasion of his office by inspectors. [More…]
Everybody said what a great thing it would be to have a strong hand, a man who will fight the unions. [More…]
Senator Walters told us that man;hours lost through industrial disputes have decreased quite recently under this Government. [More…]
On the one hand, we are told that we have industrial chaos and, on the other hand, we are told that we have a period of industrial peace, with a decrease in the number of man hours lost. [More…]
Does any honourable senator here deny the right of trade unionists to refuse to man the oil rigs on the Great Barrier Reef? [More…]
They refuse to man the oil rigs or to supply any services to them and their stand was acclaimed throughout the country because it stopped oil drilling on the Great Barrier Reef. [More…]
The person who becomes the leader of this Bureau and implements the penalties which exist in the Act will become the most powerful man in this country. [More…]
I recommend as ideal reading for honourable senators opposite, mindful of Senator Jessop ‘s contribution, a history of the New Zealand trade union movement by a man named Victor Roth. [More…]
Sir John Moore is a man of vast industrial wisdom. [More…]
I was indebted to a man who was rich in mining industry knowledge, the late Harry Cant. [More…]
Maybe Mr Justice Staples often has unorthodox ideas, but he has always been a kind and understanding man. [More…]
There is no secret that at times he has Utopian ideas, but he is a fair man and he is seeking justice and fair play. [More…]
When I was in the railways a man got the sack for pilfering. [More…]
As a trade union member he demanded his rights and went to the Industrial Registrar. [More…]
Senator Wright would agree that the man did not deserve the protection of the law, which forced the union to provide an organiser to appear before the appeals board. [More…]
But because the man was a rank and file member of the union, there was nothing else the union could do. [More…]
Senator Wright would agree with me that this man deserved to be hounded out because he was unfit to be a trade unionist, and I mean that. [More…]
I want, as I said, to emphasise that aspect of the Bureau because it is not presented and it has never been presented simply as an industrial policeman, as the Minister has clearly set out in his speech. [More…]
The object of this Bureau and the object of having a man of considerable independence and quality as its director is precisely to achieve those objectives and pursue methods of observing industrial peace as set out in that passage I quoted from the Minister’s speech. [More…]
That is why regrettably so many companies have gone off-shore. [More…]
I think it was a former Treasurer of the Labor Government-the honourable Frank Crean- who made the quite famous statement when he was Treasurer in 1973 or 1974 that one man’s pay rise is another man’s job, or words to that effect. [More…]
The position has been complicated just recently by the election in Israel of Menachem Begin as the Prime Minister of Israel, a man whose own record unfortunately does not compare with those of his predecessors. [More…]
He is a man who was involved in terrorist activities. [More…]
His party is one which apparently is committed to the incorporation of the whole of the West Bank and a great many Arab territories within the state of Israel, something which I do not believe can be accepted. [More…]
The Government will be able to get at the little man but it will not be able to get at the big man. [More…]
A big man does not want to be interfered with in any way. [More…]
These amendments make the task of prosecution, in many cases, almost impossible. [More…]
As the Bill is essentially one dealing with business practices, and as 2 professional men- a legal man and a professional accountant- had difficulty in understanding it, it is nearly impossible for the layman to interpret the Bill. [More…]
There may be reasons of which I, as a non-legal man, am not aware why- it does not come under proposed section 45d. [More…]
No reasonable man who believes in maintaining or increasing the living standards of people around Australia or in his own State could possibly support that action. [More…]
The facts are that, but for the mining industry, the man on the land would be facing a far better future than the dismal one he must now inevitably come to terms with. [More…]
This man, this great senator from South Australia, is willing to vote for the Bill, but at the same time he says: ‘These people are ripping you off’. [More…]
As far as Tasmania is concerned I have a few still unresolved matters that will require quite a lot of attention. [More…]
In Tasmania at present the plant utilisation is only between 50 per cent and 60 per cent, and this is resulting in a very high unit cost. [More…]
I have severe reservations on the distribution of entitlement and I do not envy whoever is going to be the new chairman of the new State authority in Tasmania as he will have to be a man of very great wisdom and judgment to ensure that the entitlement is distributed in the fairest possible way. [More…]
In a letter to U.N. SecretaryGeneral Kurt Waldheim, Martins writes: ‘I came in December not as a free man. [More…]
It is rolling like a drunken man just about to fall over. [More…]
On so many occasions he said that there would be no retreat. [More…]
This sort of structure, whilst giving the producer a very significant involvement, in fact by far the most significant involvement, also recognises the importance of the exporter, the importance of the man with special qualifications. [More…]
Until we get it, not only the graziers who produce beef but also the graziers who produce fat lambs will have to run the gauntlet of groups of people getting together in the auction yard and buying as a cartel, with one man buying for the lot and then splitting up the spoils after the auction. [More…]
Already the man who exposed the Meat Mafia, as it is being called, has been sacked from his job, ostracised by his friends and had his life threatened. [More…]
One of them was a paint salesman. [More…]
The other man, Alf Maiden, was a public servant. [More…]
The Early Retirement payments to the 560 averaged in excess of $17,000 per man. [More…]
This provided a total special payment varying between $47,500 for a man exactly 60, down to a payment of about $ 10,000 for a man almost 65. [More…]
There is, of course, a conflict between those 2 outpourings, but I would have hoped that Senator Wright, at this stage, would have been influenced by the other propaganda as well, because I know him to be a man of flexibility as well as of integrity. [More…]
A combination of two or more persons for the purpose of injuring a man in his trade is unlawful and, if it results in damage to him, is actionable. [More…]
Development ofthe disease Phytophthora cinnamomi is commonly associated with man’s activity. [More…]
(a) Where any and, if so, what number of man hours lost by reason of strikes or other, and what, industrial disputes by employees employed by employers situated in (i) the electorate of Casey, (ii) the electorate of Diamond Valley, (iii) the electorate of Deakin, (iv) the City of Ringwood, ( v) the City of Doncaster-Templestowe, (vt) the City of Nunawading, (vii) the State of Victoria during 1974, 1975 and 1 976 and during the period between 1 January 1 977 and the date of answering this question, and (b) what were the number of strikes which took place at businesses situated in each of the abovenamed electorates during each of the said periods of time. [More…]
Like many world figures in public life, he earned the most loyal friends and the most bitter enemies. [More…]
Although a man of the church he could be extremely hard in pursuit of his objectives but never losing his humanity to his own people. [More…]
He lived in Henley Beach Road, Mile End, and was a married man with a young daughter. [More…]
During that period he held the position of Chairman of Committees. [More…]
I believe that it was the only time when the third Labor man was elected in South Australia without the elimination of any Labor candidate on the ballot paper. [More…]
During his last speech in this place as an old man he spoke for half an hour without a note on Vietnam and the Labor Party’s attitude to it. [More…]
He was a very good family man and a good friend to all those who came into contact with him. [More…]
I make particular reference to the segment in the speech of the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Withers) referring to Sir Archibald ‘s Chairmanship of the Council of the National Library in Canberra. [More…]
Because I am privileged to be the Deputy Chairman of the Council now I am following to some extent in Sir Archibald’s footsteps. [More…]
Many Australian writers and authors have every reason to be grateful to him for his understanding of their claims and for his assistance to them. [More…]
Sir Archibald Grenfell Price was a great man of letters, a great geographer, a great writer and a great educationalist. [More…]
Commanding officers must guard their assets as thoroughly as they have been trained to use them. [More…]
But it is the personal and continual watchfulness of every officer and man that is our foremost defence for the security of our assets. [More…]
While the conclusions indicated that there was much that could be done to improve security by way of modern protection devices, firefighting equipment and provision of security personnel, all these must be weighed against competing demands for limited defence resources of money and manpower. [More…]
-Senator Walters has drawn my attention to allegations that an Australian Labor Party advertisement in the daily Press was misleading and to an answer which is reported to have been given by Mr Hayden, the Opposition spokesman on economic management. [More…]
As the advertisement dealt with allegations of the Government’s economic mismanagement and so on, I suppose he was the appropriate man to make a response, although it is always difficult to determine who is responsible in the Labor Party for speaking on economic matters. [More…]
The Labor Party seems to be unable to make up its mind who it’s spokesman is on these matters. [More…]
I forget how many Treasurers Labor had. [More…]
It was Mr Crean who when he was Treasurer said that everybody ought to remember that each man ‘s pay rise was at the expense of another man’s job. [More…]
Whether anybody likes it or not, ultimately a man ‘s labour is a commodity like any other commodity. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite say that a man has the right to strike, that he has the right to withdraw his labour, that labour is something one sells on the market. [More…]
When honourable senators talk about a man’s right to strike they say that he has the right to withdraw that commodity. [More…]
I say that labour is a commodity and it is subject to the laws of supply and demand. [More…]
If the price of labour is increased too much, other things being equal the demand for it will fall off because buyers turn to substitutes or they buy less. [More…]
He said: ‘One man’s larger pay packet is another man’s job’. [More…]
The Senate has just listened to a speech by the Leader of the Government in the Senate (Senator Withers)- the counterpart in this place of the Prime Minister, Mr Fraser, and the man in this place who on three occasions forced the Labor Government out of office. [More…]
Listening to the statements which Senator Grimes made and the statements in the Press from manufacturing industry and from the man the Government has just knighted, the head of the Ford enterprise, who said that there is nothing for manufacturing industry in the Budget. [More…]
The man who wanted to be Prime Minister said this: [More…]
An Aborigine’s affinity with the land has no comparable conception to the white Australians, who look upon land in a materialistic manneras something to be enjoyed to the exclusion of others, to be guarded against and walled off from all others and to be viewed purely as an item of social wealth and standing within the community. [More…]
The British concept, that a man’s home is his castle and no man dare take it from him, is in complete contrast, I believe, to the meaning which my people have always had concerning their beloved earth. [More…]
It is the place where human spirits dwell before birth and after death. [More…]
Well, I take it that it was the fault of that now unemployed man in the Northern Territory. [More…]
The evidence suggests that it was never intended that if Aboriginals had control of the two kilometres adjoining their coast that area would be closed to white man’s interests, but that permission would have to be given by the Aboriginal community as to what white men would be allowed entry and for what purpose. [More…]
The consequent exposure to man was assessed in terms of doses to individuals and large populations. [More…]
The study identified major uncertainties and indicated that the following would require substantial programs of investigation: Firstly, the properties of valid waste particularly its leach resistance under deep ocean conditions and the degree of fracturing likely to occur; and secondly, the rate of sediments in the removal of activity, the uptake of radioactivity in marine food chains and the long-term utilisation of the sea as a source of food for man. [More…]
Now let me come to the question of the ecological situation because the WHO report that I have mentioned emphasises the need for statistical health studies and for establishing the predominant exposure routes to man through bioaccumulation or external radiation. [More…]
Two hundred thousand bombs of the sort that devastated Nagasaki could be made from that material and it could produce the sort of plutonium that is 800 times more than the amount needed to kill every man, woman and child on this planet. [More…]
The three-man crew was killed on the spot. [More…]
I remind honourable senators that a few weeks ago there was a report that a scientist working at Lucas Heights had died of cancer and that the Atomic Energy Commission had accepted responsibility to the extent that it was paying compensation to the man’s wife. [More…]
Show to me any mining council, any mining manager or any mining director, whether that organisation or person is in the United States of America or Latin America, and I will show you an organisation or a person without a soul. [More…]
One man was about 74 years of age. [More…]
Unfortunately the relationship of the tribal Aborigines with the white man has not been a happy one. [More…]
Senator Melzer mentioned the man from Lucas Heights who died of leukemia. [More…]
That man never worked near the reactors in any case. [More…]
Does the Opposition suggest that if a worker at a GeneralMotors plant died of leukemia the company should immediately cease the manufacture and sale of Holden motor cars? [More…]
I think Senator Button, who is attempting to interject, would acknowledge that he is a man whom we all can respect for his intellect and for his intellectual honesty and integrity. [More…]
I thought there was plenty of opportunity for the angry man to deny it, but he did not. [More…]
It relates to a family man who was sentenced to nine months’ gaol by a magistrate in South Australia because he gave wrong information in obtaining unemployment benefits. [More…]
I understand that as a result of the present Government’s economic mismanagement he lost his job in August 1975. [More…]
-Anyhow, the man lost his job and applied for unemployment benefits for himself and his four dependent children. [More…]
During this period the man had been to three highly qualified South Australian specialists and had three X-rays to try to diagnose a serious complaint that he had for the whole of this time. [More…]
So for the whole period that this man was on unemployment benefits, including the short period when he did not disclose his wife’s income, he was entitled to sickness benefit for himself and his four dependent children. [More…]
However, through his solicitors, the man appealed aganist the severity of the sentence. [More…]
-He said that it would take a neutral stand and would not press for the charges to be continued and for the man to be forced to go to gaol; that it would let the court take whatever action it considered necessary. [More…]
Since then, on my advice, the man has sought under the Social Services Act to transfer from unemployment benefit to sickness benefit because there was no doubt at all that during the whole of the period that he was on unemployment benefit he was entitled to sickness benefit. [More…]
I refer to the man who, as Senator Douglas McClelland will recall, was involved in the attempted assasination of Mr Calwell. [More…]
Minister-it could be myself or a Minister from the other side of the chamber- the right to suspend or dismiss a man from his job and to give an employing authority the right to say arbitrarily what is in a declaration. [More…]
Strangely enough, the man criticised most often was the instrument used to settle the oil dispute and the recent air traffic controllers ‘ dispute. [More…]
As a result- I reported it here- Don Hancock, a very able man, used to go to the Redfern Mail Exchange and anywhere else where there was a dispute. [More…]
A mail officer has to be a skilled, trained man. [More…]
How many men will put up with that sort of nonsense? [More…]
The same man is now giving public servants assurances about their future m employment under this legislation. [More…]
It is clear also that it gives not only the Government but also the employing authority or some small-minded bloke in charge of a department the power to sack a man arbitrarily. [More…]
How well equipped is a Minister who does not understand the problems of an industry, who has not worked in the industry or who does not know what industrial standards prevail to determine that a man should be suspended or sacked from his job? [More…]
Such a determination should be a job for the umpire, the man who has helped to establish the code of industrial relations in Australia. [More…]
It allows a mug, if I might put it in good Australian parlance, in charge of a department or responsible for a particular section but who does not know anything about a job or an industry or the climate of consultation, to decide that a man should be sacked. [More…]
It is important legislation which I suggest we should look at in a cool, calm and objective manner, free from prejudice and emotion. [More…]
Firstly, I deal briefly with a couple of statements made by the Opposition spokesman, Senator Button, in reply to an interjection by me. [More…]
I am quite happy to rest on the clear, legal exposition of this legislation given by my illustrious colleague, also a legal man, Senator Wright. [More…]
That is the situation in small business in many areas in Australia, outside the Public Service, outside statutory corporations and outside the Conciliation and Arbitration Act. [More…]
I suggest that it is a complete fallacy, when looking at the effect of strikes on the economy and the community, to take into account only the number of man hours lost. [More…]
It is quite wrong to say, as Bob Hawke says, that only so many man hours have been lost. [More…]
These are the figures: Since 1972 there have been 24 separate stoppages involving over 156 000 man hours. [More…]
I have already dealt with the man hours involved. [More…]
As he has indicated, Rex Connor was a man who had a long parliamentary career, commencing in State politics in New South Wales. [More…]
Like so many of his colleagues, especially those in the Australian Labor Party, he came from a very humble background but because of ability and commitment he established himself as one of the great figures not only of the Labor movement but also of this country for reasons which I will mention in a moment. [More…]
Although he was a very big man physically, as we know, he was a very quiet man, almost unobtrusive. [More…]
I believe that he was a great man and I think that his impressions and the effect of his policies will live for a long time on the Australian political scene. [More…]
Rex Connor was a very great Australian and a tremendously vital man. [More…]
Rex Connor was a man among men. [More…]
Rex Connor entered Federal Parliament in the period mentioned by Senator Douglas McClelland after a reasonably easy passage on a selection ballot in which the New South Wales executive of the Australian Labor Party had had, more or less, to ease out a man who had not lived up to his position as a parliamentarian. [More…]
The message I want to get through is that while Rex was regarded as a strong man, he was also a kind man. [More…]
That is something that Rex never made a song about, but I think it showed his human qualities. [More…]
When I look across at Senator Guilfoyle, who represents the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs, I am reminded that although there is a multiplicity of nationalities in Wollongong, Rex Connor was not a man who asked the Senator to do his work for him. [More…]
Rex Connor was the only man I ever knew who came before the Executive to put his case as to why he ought to be elected, and who started spot on time, was not cut off in mid-air and did not end his remarks a minute before time. [More…]
But I much prefer to remember Rex Connor as a man who was kind enough to take on the secretary of a man who, to say the least, had not been very kind to him in earlier days. [More…]
Rex Connor was a great man in the true sense of the word. [More…]
He was a great parliamentarian, a great statesman and a great Australian. [More…]
When we have reason to speak thus of a man such as Rex Connor, the whole country must realise that we have lost one of our most outstanding citizens. [More…]
I do not think that Australia or Australians have recovered sufficiently from the events that led up to the change of Government in 1975 to realise what a towering man Rex Connor was in his insistence that Australia and its resources should be for Australians. [More…]
When the history of this great man is put in proper perspective, the people who belittled and denigrated him will be shown up for their dishonesty. [More…]
Those who knew him, those who were close to him- and I sat next to him in our Party room for 8 years before we took office- knew him as a soft and kind man, a thoughtful man. [More…]
Bruiser’, were made up by the Press to denigrate this great man. [More…]
He really was not an extroverted man. [More…]
Unfortunately, in the society in which we live many people die and leave us before their true worth is recognised. [More…]
I pay this tribute to the man who, I believe, will be put down in the records of this country as being one of our most outstanding, courageous and idealistic men and one of our best visionaries. [More…]
He was the man who saw the plan whereby Australia could become and remain one of the great continents and great nations on earth. [More…]
Yet his word, his hopes and his ambitions were denigrated by many people. [More…]
On an occasion like this when we all feel so sad about his passing, we can feel assured that if there is such a thing as everlasting life it comes when a man writes his name into his family and into the affairs of his fellow men. [More…]
There is no doubt that his loss is a great one to his party, to many of us personally and to the nation. [More…]
I would bc remiss if I did not pay tribute to Rex Connor as a person and a politician who has spent all his life serving his fellow man. [More…]
They made some arrangements for the Whyalla Mayor, the Town Clerk, the man in charge of the steel works there and the man in charge of the shipbuilding section to meet me. [More…]
LANDSAT has proved to be a most effective tool for monitoring man’s interaction with the natural environment, both on land and in the oceans. [More…]
After speaking to this man it seems to me that these awkward confrontations could be a product of both John Smith and the Commonwealth Employment Service at Redcliffe. [More…]
During the parliamentary recess it was brought to my attention that this young man was having difficulty in receiving unemployment benefits. [More…]
I would like to read the contents of that letter which states quite clearly that this man was refused permission to register for employment. [More…]
The remarkable thing about it is that it contains an admission that although this man wanted to register with the Commonwealth Employment Service for employment he was not allowed to do so and, what is more, he would not be allowed to do so until he had actually worked for a period of 3 to 6 months and had obtained a reference from an employer. [More…]
On 10 May the Department of Social Security wrote to this man and said that he could not receive unemployment benefit because he had not been accepted for registration by the Commonwealth Employment Service. [More…]
Does the article in fact give a useful insight into the life and mind of the man for whom Mr Calwell helped to build a new life? [More…]
I found the article a most interesting one both as to the problems which the man concerned was suffering prior to his attempted assassination of Mr Calwell and certainly as to the sort of reaction which he described of how he felt afterwards. [More…]
I also found more than interesting the way he wrote of his experiences both while on remand and during the short period of his trial, and especially his experience in what I suppose one would call a psychiatric prison or whatever the place was. [More…]
I imagine that it is not beyond the wit of man to devise a system whereby this could be carried out. [More…]
I doubt that it should have apologised, because if we look at the policy speech delivered on 27 November 1975 by the man who is now Prime Minister we see that the proposal is a confidence trick and is contrary to the Prime Minister’s dogmatic assertion that it makes everyone better off. [More…]
At present the Social Services Act provides that a married woman is not entitled to sickness benefit if it is reasonably possible for her husband to maintain her. [More…]
This provision does not apply in the case of a married man. [More…]
In future a married woman will be able to qualify for sickness benefit on the same basis as a married man. [More…]
A married man may receive sickness benefit to the maximum single rate of $47.10 per week with additional pension for children, irrespective of his wife ‘s income. [More…]
The Medibank Levy has not been calculated for incomes of $10,000 and above for a single man, and $15,000 and above for a man with a dependant wife, where it would be cheaper for the person to take private health insurance. [More…]
The greatest failure of all is their leader, the economic neanderthal man who believes that deficits must be paid back like an overdraft, who believes that a nation which runs a deficit Budget, to use his own words must go without for the next few years while it pays back the deficit just like a family that establishes an overdraft. [More…]
In his fantasy world the phenomenon of deficient aggregate demand simply does not exist. [More…]
This man is as ignorant of the most basic economic realities as he is convinced of his own infallibility. [More…]
Even the man in the street who frequently takes little notice of the deliberations of this place cannot fail at least to note the broadest implications of each budget, especially those provisions which affect his hip pocket. [More…]
I understand some of his work in Western Australia has pointed him out as a very capable man in his field. [More…]
This man who is unable to make up his own mind is pointing across the table at me. [More…]
He says: ‘Look after the big man’. [More…]
No man who ever ran a turtle farm does not know that. [More…]
Mr Virgo is the man who does not worry about it. [More…]
He is a man without limitation. [More…]
This man gives all the information, knows nothing about it and is not prepared to listen. [More…]
It will also be a valuable facility for research on virus diseases endemic in Australia, several of which affect man as well as livestock. [More…]
My office has telephoned Mr MacKellar and the reply has been that despite the unfortunate happening he will not let this man’s son come into Australia. [More…]
Is this a humane way of administering the question of migration to Australia? [More…]
This man’s son who was here from 1971, 1 think, to 1973 worked all the time he was here although he did not have the trade skills which Australia requires migrants to have to enter Australia. [More…]
He is the man who finally has to deal with these land transfers. [More…]
The Maoris surrendered some land to the white man on a promontory. [More…]
The results of this study will assist the States in planning the installation of permanent monitoring stations. [More…]
The program also envisages the construction of what is known as a base line air monitoring station in a remote area of Tasmania. [More…]
The measurements so recorded will provide air samples from areas unpolluted by man. [More…]
Section 3 of this Act defines ‘environment’ to include ‘all aspects of the surroundings of man, whether affecting him as an individual or in his social groupings’. [More…]
There can be no doubt that he was a man of scholarship and wide experience, particularly in the pastoral areas of Queensland where he had a close association with the Australian Workers Union. [More…]
Simmonds is Deputy Chairman of the Bass Electorate Conference and a member of the ALP’s foreign affairs committee. [More…]
Simmonds as late as December 1976 attended an exclusive gathering of Communist Party of Australia operatives at Orford in Tasmania. [More…]
This is the very man who, with his hard Left supporters on the rules committee, relentlessly pursued the witch-hunts against Bob Watling and Peter Imlach. [More…]
This man, who is in breach of the ALP’s rules for aiding and espousing the cause of the Communist Party of Australia, has just been made Chairman of the rules committee which is prosecuting Bob Watling and Peter Imlach. [More…]
On J. P. Forester, a man charged and found guilty on 24 June 1977 of offences against rules relating to the funds of the Union, fined the maximum amount under the rules and suspended from union membership. [More…]
I do not hear many people coming to the support of the Egan mercenaries at this point in time, particularly as they realise just what Egan is about and just what he has done in New South Walesamalgamating the Australian Workers Union, which incorporated the Shop Assistants Union, with the Building Workers Industrial Union which is controlled by the Socialist Left. [More…]
Is it any wonder that Bert Lacey, whom all honourable senators will know as a former senator in this place, a man who has served the trade union movement and the Labor Party with distinction, dedication and selfsacrifice for more than 50 years, was moved to come to that meeting last night in support of Watling and Imlach to make a speech full of courage and based on a logical understanding of Labor tradition. [More…]
Mr President, I am only glorifying this situaton in Tasmania by continuing to expose this man. [More…]
It exposes what sort of a character this man is. [More…]
This man wants to come to this Parliament and try to tell the Labor Party in Tasmania how to run its business. [More…]
If the NCC gets the chance to undermine the parties of honourable senators opposite, it will take them over as it wishes to do to the Labor Party in Tasmania. [More…]
To get back to the matter raised by the Labor Party today, let me say that I listened with some interest to Senator Bishop’s general assessment of how we should build ships in Australia and, of course, man them with Australians. [More…]
Ms Gillian Blain is a professional librarian in Hobart at the University of Tasmania. [More…]
She organised the recent Libraries Association Conference in Tasmania, which was attended by 1,000 or more people and was very successful. [More…]
According to the statements made last night, she consistently votes with what is called the socialist left, although where that exists in Tasmania I do not know. [More…]
Mr Joe Benson I do not know so well, but I understand that he is a public servant in Tasmania. [More…]
Yet this man is labelled as a pro-communist and a supporter of the Communist Party of Australia. [More…]
Senator Grimes also was the very man whom these people put into the breach at the ALP State conference in 1975 to move a motion against me. [More…]
That resolution was not only a condemnation and an attempt to get the ALP Federal Executive to cut my throat but also was condemnatory of the Labor Party, the State Conference and the State Executive of the Tasmanian Labor Party at that time. [More…]
I regarded him not only as an outstanding Labor man but also as a very great Australian. [More…]
He was a great man. [More…]
I am personally pleased that for many years I was closely associated with him in his work in this Parliament, in the Labor movement, and in the Australian community generally. [More…]
During the years that Leslie Haylen was in this Parliament he always projected to me a picture of a man of great sincerity, an earthy man who knew the way the country should go. [More…]
He was a man who had a great ability to express himself with humour and with earthiness. [More…]
And the spirit of a man from Bathurst way was standing by the fence. [More…]
I mind the time, the old man said, [More…]
He was a man who came to grips with reality. [More…]
He was a man who was very much loved by the members of his party. [More…]
I am not saying that that would have gone a long way towards housing the people at Lockridge, Saunders Street, Millers Dam or any of the other places in Western Australia, but it would have gone part of the way towards providing land and accommodation for the people who recognise that they do not have the capabilities and the capacity to live in the white man’s housing. [More…]
It would seem that some of these Aborigines are condemned to living under sheets of tin and under the Swan River Bridge, as they did at Guildford for many months before the police and the Shire of Midland eventually moved them forcibly onto a block of land in Saunders Street from which they have now been evicted. [More…]
It was written by Jan Maymann and was headed ‘Archbishop helped blacks- $95 fine’. [More…]
I want briefly to support what Senator Coleman has said. [More…]
Bob Bropho, the man who leads this group, is a very quiet sort of fellow. [More…]
I heard an interjection, from a man who has since left the chamber, that Mr Viner is the best Minister for Aboriginal Affairs he has ever known. [More…]
The Minister representing the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations will have seen the report of the speech of Mr Bob Hawke on Monday last, when he opened the Australian Council of Trade Unions Congress, in which he referred to the reduction in man hours lost because of strikes. [More…]
Does the Minister agree that the loss of man hours is only one of several factors to be taken into account in assessing disruption to industry and commerce and to the community generally because of strikes and other industrial action? [More…]
My attention has been drawn to the reference by Mr Hawke to the reduction in man hours lost through strikes. [More…]
I agree with Senator Tehan that the statistics dealing with actual man days lost certainly are not the only factor to be taken into account in these matters. [More…]
For instance, some of” the disputes this year- I refer particularly to the petrol strike in Victoria and the air traffic controllers strike- added little to the statistics as to man days lost; but, of course, as we all know, they caused the most serious disruption in the community. [More…]
Statistics on the economic cost of man hours lost are not published. [More…]
The Department of Science has been requested to send a man who is probably one of the world’s greatest glaciologists, an Australian- Dr Buddwho is a part of the Antarctic Division under the Department of Science. [More…]
With the intellectual sloth which is typical of the man, he failed to specify - [More…]
High tariffs are a manifestation of big government, not of small government. [More…]
This comes from a man who is committed to market shares for domestic manufacturers, who has a ministerial review committee which meets in secret to grant protection over and above that provided by the tariff and the quotas to people who tender for government contracts, who seeks to emasculate the Industries Assistance Commission so that there will be no independent scrutiny of his big government actions, and who constantly wants to jack up import tariffs and quotas. [More…]
If they have any desire to save Australia from sliding deeper and deeper into economic depression and if they wish to save themselves from the political wilderness to which they are rapidly being consigned, they should get rid of the man who presently is leading them, and then they might have some chance of pursuing a rational and consistent economic policy. [More…]
This is the learned man who is obviously advising the Premier of South Australia as to his economic policy. [More…]
If this man had been in private industry he would have been liable to prosecution for misappropriation of funds. [More…]
Secondly, the young man’s persistent requests, while in hospital, to contact the Australian consular authorities were denied by the hospital authorities. [More…]
We will be the odd man out and deny to our citizens the help we can get from the Commonwealth Government’. [More…]
From 1972 to 1975 a Labor Government was managing the affairs of South Australia and a Labor Government managing the affairs of Australia. [More…]
The Government will destroy that man if it takes away from him the right to condemn the State Government by putting this responsibility in the hands of the Federal Minister. [More…]
In this instance it is the man who is the victimand he is getting an extremely raw deal from the Federal Government. [More…]
I ask Sir Charles to take his blinkers off and attempt a consideration of what it means to be a terrified womanimprisoned within an unhappy marriage by socio-economic constraints, completely helpless and at the mercy of a physically strong and violent man. [More…]
In the light of the United Nations peace keeping and mediating performance and that of the South African and Rhodesian governments and peoples over the years, it is high time that the situation was reassessed. [More…]
South Africa’s apartheid policy has been depicted as an unjustifiable and repugnant system, as an affront to the dignity of man and a flagrant violation of fundamental human decency. [More…]
Those people were brought there by the British to man the sugar plantations in Natal because the Zulus refused to do such menial work. [More…]
They were demanding reparations for years of plunder by the white man, despite all the evidence to the contrary. [More…]
The white man can get one somehow but the black man cannot afford to do so, and so it is with many items. [More…]
The sanctions were imposed supposedly to help the black man and the same excuse is used to justify the terrorism. [More…]
Both are supposed to lift the yoke of the white minority government from the black man’s back, but there is no call from the blacks in Rhodesia to have that yoke lifted. [More…]
I know that many Portuguese people who have come to Australia have nostalgic memories of Angola and Mozambique. [More…]
But the fact of the matter is that in many causes the interests of some people have to be subordinated for the common good. [More…]
Of course, this demands strong leadership. [More…]
A man renowned for his Toryism- I say that of him in a respectful way- Senator Wright, spoke in this Senate one night representing the Foreign Minister and said that any fragmentation of Yugoslavia would jeopardise world peace. [More…]
Nobody is suggesting that because a man is black, white or coloured he gets selected for international competition because of sympathy. [More…]
I was in Japan with a four man Opposition delegation. [More…]
It was caused by the stupidity or the adventuring of a man who thought he could juggle with overseas steel. [More…]
It took 12 months to get all this information, and I do not know how many man hours were used by the Commonwealth Arbitration Inspectorate, but if the Government is going to deal with business operations it should have told this firm earlier that if it wanted to avoid a fine the problem should be fixed within 90 days. [More…]
I join with Senator Coleman in discussing this matter tonight. [More…]
They do not accord with human rights as we understand them. [More…]
Among those people is Dr Puey Ungphakorn, a very eminent man who was an adviser to the last democratic government and who was the rector of Thammasat University when the revolution took place and when the dictatorship took effect in Thailand last year. [More…]
He said that one man’s wage increase represented another man’s job. [More…]
Of course, Mr Whitlam said this and the proposition was supported by Mr Cameron, one of his senior Ministers, who said that one man’s pay rise was another man’s job. [More…]
Mr Whitlam should know, because he was the man, along with his team, who nurtured the monster that he created. [More…]
Wages went up and, as has already been stated here today, even Mr Cameron then said: ‘Well, if they go up much more, every time there is an increase in wages, one man’s pay rise is another man’s job’. [More…]
It is ironic, to say the least, that that notion should be postulated by the Prime Minister, the man who during the latter part of 1975 continually talked about the alleged disastrous condition of the Australian economy and its alleged inevitable deterioration as long as socialist centralists remained in government, the man who held the threat of the withholding of supply or the deferral of the Budget as a sort of sword of Damocles over the then government. [More…]
It is ironic, to say the least, that the man who engineered all that has the audacity to condemn others for allegedly destabilising the economy. [More…]
We found the Liberal Premier of New South Wales replacing that man with a political neuter so that we would not have the numbers to carry out the task that we were given by the electors of Australia. [More…]
He decided that, because the Labor Party would not submit a panel of names from which he could select a person to send to this place, he would not send a Labor man. [More…]
There is no doubt that he has that job now, but I do not think any person could sleep soundly in his bed at night after coming into the prime ministership of the country in the circumstances in which that man came into it. [More…]
I once thought that the socialist parties of the world believed in some sort of brotherhood of man. [More…]
I had the opportunity as a member of a four-man Labor Party delegation to visit Japan where we met members of the Liberal Party, the two socialist parties, parties to the left of that, and the party which I suppose is the equivalent of Don Chipp ‘s party, the Clean Government Party. [More…]
I do not know whether, being a diesel man, he ever used Weston coal from New South Wales. [More…]
I ended up as a diesel man, but I certainly did my apprenticeship in the north west of Queensland on coal burners and we did not have the privilege of using good Newcastle coal. [More…]
He will see that what the Seamen’s Union is insisting on is the right for Australian crews, in part, to man vessels which carry Australian exports. [More…]
It is incredible to me that someone of the experience of Senator Douglas McClelland, a man who was a Minister in the Labor Government, a man who did so much to help put Australia where we found it in December 1975, a man who helped to create the conditions of economic disarray fails to acknowledge the nature of unemployment today. [More…]
In fact, he saw it appropriate on 2 1 September, before the visit, to speak on the adjournment debate complaining about the visit and saying that it had been organised by the Prospect Electoral Conference of the Liberal Party and alleging that the President of that Conference was a con man. [More…]
Of course, it is well known that any housewife can reduce her household expenditure by cutting off many of the essential services that she is providing for her husband and children. [More…]
The working man’s family could not afford to do that. [More…]
I heard Senator Tehan say a while ago that the Government had done a wonderful thing for the family man by increasing the family allowance. [More…]
How does that affect a man who is separated from his wife or is divorced and has a maintenance order against him under which he has to provide so much for his wife and children? [More…]
It is beyond me that anyone could reasonably suggest that it will be possible for one man to represent what will be virtually the two existing electorates rolled into one. [More…]
So Lewis is a most experienced man. [More…]
Yet we find people on the Government side getting up and saying that they are concerned about the small man and what a wonderful Budget this is. [More…]
I have been a working man all of my life. [More…]
No working man goes on strike unless there is good reason. [More…]
The working man is not the only one who benefits when he gets an increase in wages. [More…]
Unlike the silvertails and the people who come from Burnside, Toorak- where Senator Cormack lives- and up on the North Shore, who go overseas for a trip and send their daughters to finishing school whenever they have some surplus money, the working man spends his surplus money on getting a decent house to live in and a better education for his children, something that is of lasting benefit to the community. [More…]
Otherwise he would have realised that on many occasions and probably in the current dispute the rank and file set the pace and not the leaders. [More…]
We had unemployed engineers, subcontractors and contractors right down to the man with the pick and shovel. [More…]
There are two criticisms of the concession: the first that a poor man’s wife is worth less than a rich man’s, the second that the concession is in any case too modest. [More…]
If Mr Hayden is such a powerful man, if Mr Hayden can by himself in a couple of speeches affect so easily and so much the international monetary situation as it concerns this country and if Government spokesmen give him credit for being able to do that, I suggest that the best thing the Government can do is resign and hand over the Treasury of this country to Mr Hayden because such a powerful man could obviously quickly solve our problems. [More…]
Of course, it is nonsense to say that one man on the front bench of an Opposition in a country like . [More…]
I suggest with great humbleness, as a man who once occupied your chair, that no Presiding Officer can suspend the business of the Senate simply because of the reasons and requirements of Ministers of State who are involved inside the parliamentary area in offering hospitality, which I have not the slightest doubt was quite appropriate but which interferes with the business of the Parliament. [More…]
He said that one man’s wage rise is another man’s job. [More…]
At the end of December of the same year, that number had escalated to 267,000 people- almost three times as many. [More…]
Thereis a definite relationship, as Frank Crean pointed out, between one man’s wage rise and another man’s job. [More…]
Industrial action such as embargoes on deliveries of material to building sites, unauthorised smokoes, bans on sections of building jobs, stoppages during concrete pours and the like is not taken into consideration when the numbers of man hours lost are assessed, and there is an enormous loss of work and employment as a direct result of such action. [More…]
If the Builders Labourers Federation would lift its bans and discontinue its guerrilla action, there would be employment opportunities for very many of the men who currently are unemployed. [More…]
The loss of man hours involved on these jobs does not appear in the official figures. [More…]
A distinguished, well-known man from his own State who once sat in this chamber, and whose cover was blown was subsequently given the Lenin Peace Prize. [More…]
We know that Senator Grimes is a man of high intelligence. [More…]
But when he gets a body in front of him in the northern Tasmania hospital he wants some information about that body. [More…]
No matter how strong the will of man is in attempting to produce a filtering system, which is an assessment system, it does not always succeed. [More…]
The belief had been arrived at that there was no danger, but in fact one man operating on a hunch said: ‘It does not matter what the information is. [More…]
There is in the Department a great number of very able younger men who have had no training in assessing intelligence; yet the curiosity is that when an attempt was made some years ago to set up a new structure known as the Joint Intelligence Organisation, the JIO, the Department was powerful enough to insist that the Chairman of the Joint Intelligence Organisation should be an officer from the Department of Foreign Affairs. [More…]
I am glad to see that honourable senators and honourable members in another place have acknowledged that he is a man of first class ability. [More…]
We know that we are but human beings. [More…]
One cannot always guarantee that everything will work as man proposes. [More…]
On these matters, where a man has to advise a Minister - [More…]
I have always believed that the man who has no secrets has no fears. [More…]
-I said that a man who has no secrets has no fears. [More…]
Payment of increased charges would only be paid to those companies prepared to re-invest into further exploration, or when utilised to create a reserve of imported oil purchased at ruling world parity and stored underground in natural or ‘man made’ caverns for later use. [More…]
As I understand it, Mr Rickard is a small businessman- an industrialist in Launceston. [More…]
I take it that these are not eminent qualifications for the Technical and Further Education Council because implicit in Senator O ‘Byrne’s question is a criticism of the man himself. [More…]
He is a first class human being and basically - [More…]
There are many instances in which, when the subsidy is withdrawn, the employer dismisses the young employee. [More…]
The employer does not go to the youngster and say, ‘Look, the subsidy has been cut out; I am putting you off tomorrow’; but the day before the subsidy ends the employer finds something wrong with the young man’s work and dismisses him accordingly. [More…]
The telegram is signed by Mr J. Readhead, the Manager of the Jigalong community, who I assume is a white man. [More…]
As I said, there was then all this kind of turmoil, but I am now happy to say that the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, the Honourable Ian Viner, who is in my opinion the best Minister to hold the portfolio of Aboriginal Affairs since it was created, is a man of great compassion and understanding for the Aboriginal people. [More…]
I proudly support the Party to which I belong because I believe that it has more concern for the working man than has ever been truly shown by those who sit on the other side. [More…]
Let us suppose for the sake of argument that one million people who are employed at the moment make demands for increased wages and salaries which amount to $30 a week per person. [More…]
If those demands were granted the increased wages bill would amount to $30m. [More…]
How many of their unemployed counterparts could be employed for the expenditure of that $30m, if they were not greedy and grabbing? [More…]
We are not concerned about our fellow man. [More…]
If I can do that and if every man and woman in this country who is employed would get back to doing a day’s work for a day’s pay and producing properly, we could get all the other people back to work. [More…]
I say this as a working man who has worked all his life. [More…]
I will pose this question, framed in the words used by a wise man a long time ago: ‘Are we asking what the country can do for us or are we asking what we can do for the country as a whole?’ [More…]
I think we have had in the past two or three weeks yet another case of a young man in his twenties who was so frustrated by not being able to get work and so upset by the fact that he had responsibilities that he was prepared to commit suicide. [More…]
At the same time, it can encourage better technical development and competition in our over-protected local motor vehicle manufacturing industry. [More…]
Much has been said about shoddy workmanship by Australian motor vehicle manufacturers. [More…]
Indeed, there is much to be said but I think the manufacturers themselves have a lot to answer for in the type of vehicle that they have dished up to the Australian public for a long time. [More…]
I once heard a very disgruntled man stand beside his new vehicle which was obviously a lemon. [More…]
So, we have Australian manufactured vehicles that are not of good design. [More…]
A man can drive a Centurion tank while looking out of just one little slit. [More…]
He does not seem to have too many collisions although it must be said that there is nothing bigger that he has to worry about other than a locomotive. [More…]
That was a most inciting and irresponsible remark from a man in his position, a man who has not yet conducted a poll amongst his own supporters to see what they think about uranium mining. [More…]
The country one day might owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to that man’s engineering expertise and the work he has done, whereby we can combust almost any of these fuels externally and completely cleanly, with no resultant pollutants. [More…]
The man, and through him the State he controls, are easy targets for throw-away lines welcome to Queensland and the Ninteenth Century. [More…]
But while Queensland is far away and Mr Bjelke-Petersen wields no practical power in the rest of Australia, Bjelke-Petersen principles involved in his latest law-and-order campaign demand wider consideration. [More…]
In fact, I quote what the Mayor of Maryborough, Alderman Jock Anderson, said at the time the announcement was made that the $10m would be available with $ 1 m to be immediately available. [More…]
The Maryborough District Development Board secretary/ manager, Alderman Jurss said that the Commonwealth’s offer was disappointingly low, that the Government had offered less than $1 a head for every man, woman and child in Australia. [More…]
Secondly, the young man’s persistent requests, while in hospital, to contact the Australian consular authorities were denied by the hospital authorities. [More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations whether he has seen in a Tasmanian newspaper the headline ‘Rebel Works Alone’. [More…]
Can the Minister apply any pressure to the Tasmanian Premier to stop this type of bullying and to assist this young man to carry out his agreement as an apprentice? [More…]
Unfortunately, we are getting from Senator Wriedt his own judgment of what are the facts which are to be judged by a man of great eminence in Victoria. [More…]
We have in Victoria a board of inquiry which the Premier of that State, upon hearing allegations that might suggest wrong doing on the part of government employees or others, appointed and placed under the chairmanship of a former judge of the Supreme Court, Mr Justice Gowans, a man of impeccable judgment and long respected in the Victorian community. [More…]
It should be carried out by a board of inquiry under a proper and respected man who will investigate these complaints and hear all the evidence. [More…]
This man, who buckled under the white backlash in Queensland and asked me to rescue him from that white backlash, came into this chamber and accused me of being afraid of the white backlash. [More…]
I do not want to deride their great national traditions or the sacrifices they made in moving there; but the freedom that they were fighting for was the freedom to deny another man his freedom. [More…]
Mordecai alias Karl Man, the father of modern communism, was a Jew. [More…]
He is the man who has been making such a magnificent fist of the Steve Biko case. [More…]
Perhaps the white man is in greater need of liberation, in greater need to be freed from fear and liberated from the threat which race and colour discrimination is to our future safety. [More…]
That was said by a white man, a man who would be conservative in his economic views, a man who has been elected by white electors to the South African Parliament. [More…]
At least, the provisional liquidator who was appointed- a man from Coopers and Lybrand- Mr Ken Russell held a Press conference after the scheme of arrangement was announced. [More…]
I remind the Senate that the marketing manager for AUS Student Travel for 18 months was a Qantas man. [More…]
I think he is a man who has served this Parliament with a lot of distinction. [More…]
I end my speech with these words: Parliament owes every man in this country a decent living. [More…]
The working man has not forgotten the education he has got over the past 45 years. [More…]
His grandfather knew poverty, his father knew the cause of it and the working man of today knows the remedy for it and looks to the Parliament, to members on both sides, to provide a remedy for it. [More…]
I take the opportunity firstly to answer one or two points raised by Senator McAuliffe and in particular to mention the matter that he dealt with at the conclusion of his speech in regard to the trade union movement because I do not think there is any man in this Parliament who would not appreciate the great work done by the average person in the trade union movement over a long period of time to improve the working conditions of all. [More…]
One student in Adelaide, a very brave young man, Mr Nick Xenophou has undertaken to seek an injunction to stop the payment of $8,000 in total fees to AUS which has been deducted from students’ fees by the Adelaide University and paid through the Adelaide University Students Association. [More…]
On every occasion that the proceedings of the Senate are being broadcast in the future before the next election we can expect Senator Hall to take the opportunity to get upon his hobby horse and try to convince the electors of Hawker that he is the man who should represent them. [More…]
I intended to describe him as a Jacob, or a man with a coat of many colours, or a political chameleon. [More…]
1 Labor senator on the ticket for the next Senate election is a man who does not believe that this Bill should pass through all stages without delay. [More…]
As I say, through you Mr Deputy President to Senator Archer, I shall refer to some of those matters which have a great similarity and which were referred to by a man who is now back within the folds of the Liberal Party. [More…]
This division is not made in a very pleasant fashion, because every time that Senator Young walks across this floor he takes a dead man’s vote with him in his pocket. [More…]
Today this Opposition, which aspires to lead this country with the great principles about which it prates, won a vote in the Senate and was able to have its will to move an amendment to a loan Bill which is the lifeblood of many Australians. [More…]
The Bill was’ defeated in that fashion only by the vote of a dead man which the Opposition has, contrary to the convention of this country. [More…]
So not only has the State Government not learnt the lesson but also it is perpetuating the situation by acting illegally, though apparently on the surface legally, to prevent a very responsible and highly-respected man from entering the State House of Parliament. [More…]
After the latest incident on Thursday, a complaint had been laid against a policeman, alleging assault on a man. [More…]
Dr Grigg said he examined the man, 21, a student from East Reservoir, and saw a cut above his right eye, which he believed was inflicted while the man was at Fitzroy police station. [More…]
So it was unnecessary and unwarranted for the sergeant on the island to physically assault Mr S. Mr S is a very sick man with a bad heart condition and it is little wonder that he did not die as a result of the vicious attack on him personally, and especially whilst he was hospitalised. [More…]
In that incident the policeman assaulted the man in his hospital bed, and there were three witnesses to it. [More…]
On the occasion of the last Cairns agricultural show a few weeks ago, I received a call from the local representative of the National Aboriginal Consultative Committee who complained that one of his companions had been arrested bv a policeman, allegedly for drunkenness. [More…]
If that man had been in poor health, if he had a weak heart or some other ailment, that exercise could have killed him. [More…]
I understand that on the following morning in the Cairns court this man was charged with drunkenness. [More…]
He quoted many authorities for this and that but I did not hear him quote the name of one Aboriginal person. [More…]
As I have said in very many places, and I say it here tonight, the voice of Aboriginal people is not coming through such people as Senator Keeffe. [More…]
He is the type of person- there are many around Australiawho attempts to speak on behalf of the Aboriginal people, but the Aboriginal people will not have a bar of him. [More…]
The Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory have said to me: ‘Why does that man come to us from Queensland? [More…]
I have said in this chamber on a number of occasions that I once thought the Labor Party was all about the brotherhood of man. [More…]
It follows a question I asked on Wednesday when I referred to a report of intimidation of a young Tasmanian apprentice by his fellow workers because of his belief that he should not have to join a union. [More…]
Will the Minister examine the case to ascertain what protection can be given to this apprentice, either through the new Industrial Relations Bureau or through normal criminal law, seeing that the State Government in Tasmania has not seen fit to assist this young man? [More…]
Every man should be entitled to work without let or hindrance. [More…]
Contrast Mr Anthony’s attitude when talking to a group of farmers, whom he hopes he can persuade to believe that a large number of problems are the responsibility of trade unions and not of the Government, with the statement made yesterday by Mr Georges Polites, the Secretary of the National Employers Policy Committee, a man of vast political experience in the industrial relations area, a man who is intimately involved with that area and knows what it is all about. [More…]
It is a lovely situation for the contract of employment in Malcolm Fraser’s free society, in Malcolm Fraser ‘s rugged society of Australia, that an employer is jammed virtually from sacking a man who is a conscientious objector. [More…]
In 1917, in expounding the soundness of the arbitration system, justices in the High Court like Higgins and Isaacs, notable for their sympathy for the working man of Australia, said that the arbitration system was designed deliberately as a substitute for economic distress and anarchy due to the primitive method of strike, substituting the reasoned hearing before a tribunal to adjudicate upon disputes. [More…]
The fact is that the system gave the trade unions the benefit of registration of trade unions under which structure the trade unionist was able to get the benefits that he had secured far exceeding benefits of any other working man in any other country. [More…]
It is a system of reforms in industry which the Government had promised after so many years. [More…]
The man who is trying to find a cure is the President of the ACTU. [More…]
The man who will solve the dispute, if it is to be solved, will be Bob Hawke. [More…]
In 1973, 2.6 million man days were lost, and in 1974, 6.3 million man days were lost. [More…]
In 1975, 3.5 million man days were lost. [More…]
The ACTU President (Mr Hawke) last night described the three-man Full Bench that rejected the power workers pay claims as ‘those pack of bastards’. [More…]
This is the sort of man that the Opposition today defends. [More…]
This is the man who apparently is the salvation of the Australian industrial scene. [More…]
The man simply plays with the Australian industrial community. [More…]
There are many of them in this country. [More…]
What will happen to the man who has been prepared to work overtime to earn some extra money to save up to buy something for his home, perhaps a new car, or has been saving for a holiday for his wife and children? [More…]
One of the other remarkable features of the performance of honourable senators opposite today has been that almost to a man they have complained - [More…]
Senator Bishop is the man who put up the price of postage stamps from 7c to 18c. [More…]
I am somewhat surprised that Senator Bishop says, with almost a boast, that he is the man who put postage out of the reach of the people. [More…]
He is the man who almost killed the practice of sending Christmas cards. [More…]
Boswell noted 200 years ago Johnson’s comment that ‘a man is never happy for the present but when he is drunk’. [More…]
In fact, we have had a decrease in the number of man hours lost due to industrial stoppages in recent years. [More…]
I know that, in 1974, 42 per cent of all man hours lost in Australia due to industrial disputes occured in my State of New South Wales. [More…]
The latest statistics- those for the first three months of 1977- show that industrial disputes in New South Wales now account for only 12 per cent of man hours lost. [More…]
Mr Lovegrove is known to me personally as a man with a very wide background in the Territory. [More…]
Legislation will be introduced as a result of the Hope report which will condemn any man who advocates that the employees of this country should get proper wages for the commodity that they sell- their labour. [More…]
One would think that members of the Government who claim to be the elitists would set a standard which would continually improve man’s great prospects for development, but one finds that the greatest representatives of the Aussie ocker image of this country are to be found on the Government side. [More…]
This article might be of interest to the honourable senator because it is written by a great friend of the Government- it will not claim him; but he is- a man who is very well respected in this Parliament. [More…]
Today we find that the numbers in the important House, the House of Representatives, the people’s House, have been so reduced that the trade unions are saying: ‘If we rely on this Parliament, if we allow this Parliament to decide our destiny- the Parliament that has let us down and shown that it can be manipulated in such a way- we will be trodden down and all the gains we have made in 100 years will have been for nothing’. [More…]
We can send a man to the factory but we cannot make him work. [More…]
Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, [More…]
Many business leaders, as well as numbers of people within the Liberal Party, have clearly stated that the Prime Minister should have made his intentions clear. [More…]
What a travesty it is of the operation of the democratic process when one man can hold such a secret in his hands- to the extent that even when he canvasses his own Ministers he apparently receives a response which does not enable him to make up his mind. [More…]
What sort of parliamentary process is it that enables this one man to determine whether or not we shall have an election, whether or not we shall have a settling down period in the Australian economy? [More…]
The third proposition is that the so-called election manoeuvring and uncertainty is all due to the Prime Minister. [More…]
I have never worked with a man who works harder, who consults his colleagues more, who takes into account their opinions more, who has a more balanced and careful mind and who is more dedicated than the current Australian Prime Minister. [More…]
He is a man of the highest and utmost integrity. [More…]
Mr Beazley has informed me as Chairman of the Sub-committee that as a result of discussions which he and I have had, he has approached the Ambassador to the USSR who is accredited to this Government in Canberra. [More…]
As long as I am the Chairman of the Committee and Mr Beazley is the Chairman of the Sub-committee I am sure that the rights and proprieties which exist between governments will be protected. [More…]
Until such time as the Parliament sees fit to change the terms under which the Committee operates or to change the constituents of the Committee it intends to proceed in that manner. [More…]
This is the man who invented Protest Australia. [More…]
His rhetorical question was this: ‘Can anyone seriously suggest that one man can represent an area almost twice the size adequately?’ [More…]
As far as I know there is no suggestion by anybody in this Parliament that Mr Nicholls is a man who is in any sense biased. [More…]
I ask Senator Douglas McClelland, who for many years has known Sir Kenneth Anderson: Does he suggest that Sir Kenneth would express outrage other than on the basis of a deeply-held belief? [More…]
He knows the man. [More…]
A former senator from Missouri who was the President- Harry Truman- was accosted on a train by a few people about how tough it was for Johnson and the President got to work on the telephone. [More…]
The Prime Minister is a powerful man. [More…]
But on the matter of the Lowe electorate, although I exonerate Sir Kenneth Anderson who is an honourable man, I would say that at the very least there was some laxity and that somebody got the drum on what was going to happen. [More…]
It is true that Mr White, the chairman of the group, was in Western Australia as the Western Australian Electoral Officer. [More…]
He is a man of great integrity. [More…]
Even if one wanted to lean on him one would not be able to do so because of that man’s character. [More…]
He is that sort of man. [More…]
This gentleman, who is all too prone on television to accuse others of being liars, said he never had. [More…]
We are talking about a man going on television- a man who puts himself forward as the alternative Prime Minister of this country- and just not giving the facts. [More…]
I say to the Leader of the Opposition in this place that if he trusts a man who will indulge in those sorts of attitudes and ideas, I am certain the Australian electorate will not. [More…]
Perhaps Senator Button can add to that knowledge, since he finds it frivolous to talk about a man who is reported to be seeking to break up free speech in Australia. [More…]
Only 27 per cent of the Australian public, who are the people concerned with the consequences of this report, have confidence in the man who is going to decide whether Ministers have a conflict of interest in regard to their private dealings and their public responsibilities. [More…]
In an article headed ‘People’, under a photograph of Mr Barry Rollbusch, the man who made the statement, these words appear: [More…]
To illustrate, under the new system a man with a wholly dependent wife will not pay any levy unless his taxable income is $5,087 or more. [More…]
Mr Whitlam told the Press conference that he had pointed out the inconsistencies in the Lynch figures to Sydney radio man John Laws at 9.30 a.m., on Wednesday. [More…]
Senator Hall has to choose because he is standing in Hawker against a very important South Australian, a man with a great reputation in the industrial movement. [More…]
Regardless of whether Senator Hall was a Liberal two years ago, whether he is now, or whatever he was two years ago and may have been in between, he has not explained whether he still disbelieves the man who is now his leader and of whom he said just over two years ago: ‘I have heard the many other twists of the truth in which Senators has been involved. [More…]
I would like Senator Hall to say whether he still disbelieves the man who is now his leader in this chamber if he claims to be a loyal member of the Liberal Party. [More…]
If he does still disbelieve Senator Withers, I invite him to say so and, if he does not, I invite him to stop posturing as something other than another Liberal Party toady and machine man. [More…]
It is magnificently precise costing for a man who is Deputy Prime Minister and has the resources of government at his disposal to be able to cost his policies within a margin of plus or minus 33-1/3 per cent. [More…]
One can judge the degree of genuine concern of this Government in the matter by examining the appointee to the position of chairman of the Corporation. [More…]
I hope that all meat producers- the beef producers in particular- are aware of the fact that this is what the Government appointed chairman of the Meat and Livestock Corporation has said. [More…]
Indeed, I suggest that if this Government had any concern for this area of policy it would promptly remove the man who made that statement from the position of chairman. [More…]
If I were to do so I would relate from the public hustings to the electors there some of the things which I chronologically mentioned here last week concerning the arguments which went to and fro, both in the South Australian Parliament when Senator Hall was a member and in this Parliament while he has been a member here as the socalled leader of the one-man Party in Canberrathe famous Liberal Movement. [More…]
As my colleague Senator Bishop pointed out, Senator Hall, like many other people, is known to flit from party to party when he loses favour with the party of which he is a member. [More…]
A few years later, the very man of whom Mr Becker was afraid has wormed his way back into the LCL himself. [More…]
He gave many of the reasons. [More…]
This is the man who stood up in this chamber today, using the Senate as a public platform, seeking the support of the electors of Hawker to elect him to the House of Representatives as a member of the LCL after he made these disparaging remarks about the very Party he now wants to represent in the other place. [More…]
This division is not made in a very pleasant fashion, because every time that Senator Young walks across this floor he takes a dead man’s vote with him in his pocket. [More…]
He was referring to the present Government- which aspires to lead this country with the great principles about which it prates won a vote in the Senate and was able to have its will to move an amendment to a loan Bill which is the lifeblood of many Australians. [More…]
The Bill was defeated in that fashion only by the vote of a dead man which the Opposition has, contrary to the convention of this country. [More…]
I say very definitely that we have come to believe that Senator Chaney is one ofthe Liberals with a small ‘L a man who believes in fair play. [More…]
That was the attitude of Jim Healy and I can assure whoever has a different view in the back of his mind that that chap matured into a man with very strong views on Polictics which were rather middle of the road. [More…]
At a later stage when we deal with the estimates for the Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs I intend to name a Sydney solicitor, but he is not the one named by the honourable member for Banks (Mr Martin) as being the man involved in one or two cases of misleading migrants into believing that they could get permanent residence when their grounds were extremely slender. [More…]
The guilty party in this situation, and this is where I mention our extradition laws, is a man named Jerry Bielski. [More…]
1 will not name the solicitor to whom I have spoken on three occasions in the last month because I was assured today that the $2,500 will be posted to this man in a few days. [More…]
He said: ‘I like Sydney ‘-that will suit Senator Cotton and me- ‘but as far as Western Australia is concerned I will never forget that man who swindled us’. [More…]
I have no way of getting to this man but sometimes I would like to be a layman attorney-general because I would send the G-men over there to get action. [More…]
This man has an impaired wrist and thumb, and like a lot of other people, when he gets into his forties, because he does not have clerical aptitude he will probably find it difficult to get a job paying the wages he used to get. [More…]
As we have been touching upon the uranium debate, I should think also that the electors of Hawker who might carefully have read some of Mr Jacobi ‘s speeches on uranium and seen the quite sensible views that he has expressed on that topic- sensible views that he cannot support in a vote because of the attitude of the Labor Caucus to the mining of uranium- would realise that it would be better to be represented by a man who can vote where his mind is rather than by a man who is forced by the rules of the Labor Caucus to vote with the majority of his colleagues. [More…]
In view of the determination of the Remuneration Tribunal that members are entitled to bring their electorate secretaries to Canberra for a maximum period of 28 days will we be provided with a relief electorate secretary to man the office or does the office have to be closed. [More…]
All I asked him was whether we would be provided with a relief secretary to man our offices in those circumstances, particularly in the case of a member of Parliament who has a country office and there is no alternative person a constituent can go to if the members’ office is closed because his electorate secretary is in Canberra doing work which has been recognised by the Remuneration Tribunal. [More…]
So if a member, because of the workload or the other factor of trying to familiarise his electorate secretary with the functions of this Parliament and with the duties which have to be carried out here so that the secretary will have a better insight into the type of work the secretary will be required to do while running the member’s office while he is absent on parliamentary business, brings his electorate secretary to Canberra, We are now told that he will not be provided with relief staff to man his office. [More…]
As you will be aware, Mr Chairman, the comments that have been made do not relate to my area of responsibility, but I will try to deal with them as briefly as I can in the time that remains. [More…]
The real problem is that the Ministers in any government in this Parliament are in constant demand by the Cabinet and their colleagues. [More…]
With a three-minute bell call for a division, if the Minister for Defence (Mr Killen) could gallop over from Russell in that time he is a better man than I am. [More…]
Let us realise that the Manhattan Project- or the moon mission- is the image before us. [More…]
But let us realise, too, that this could be Australia’s chance for a world accomplishment greater in importance than either of the two foregoing great efforts of man. [More…]
I am not interested in Willie Hamilton or Joe Blow or the man who jumped over the moon. [More…]
Yet in this Parliament, and in this very House, over the past week or two we have heard nothing but a continuous series of deliberate scurrilous misrepresentations against the man who was Prime Minister when Sir John Ken was alleged to have broken convention. [More…]
The report reveals that total man-hours worked fell by 22.8 per cent from 17.82 million man-hours to 13.76 man-hours in the course of the year. [More…]
The early retirement payments of the 560 averaged $17,000 per man. [More…]
This provided a total special payment varying between $47,500 for a man exactly 60, down to a payment of about $10,000 for a man almost 65. [More…]
Man-hour costs on the waterfront have increased by 170 per cent in less than two years. [More…]
We will retain the man-hour levy, but it will be at the rate of $1 a tonne. [More…]
So, the tax is to provide funds for other things, such as the man-hour levy of $1 a tonne, except in the outer ports where the levy is $4.85. [More…]
1 have not had time to check the arithmetic; but, accepting the assurance of the Minister and his officers, that will achieve an equalisation of expenditure in the smaller and the larger ports- the permanent and the non-permanent ports. [More…]
Senator Wright raised the question whether all the levies are based on man hours. [More…]
I suppose from now on the honourable senator will be known as ‘the whisper, the man who never shouts’. [More…]
Now we come down to the reality of the domestic hearth and the window box, because this is a matter which even the ordinary man can comprehend with a little fervency. [More…]
The value of our money has been depreciated to the extent that the earnings of the working man and the farming man are now gauged in millions whereas they should be assessed in thousands. [More…]
We often disagree with the honourable senator but not with his manner or method of delivery, and tonight has been no exception. [More…]
The criticism ofthe growing use of computers, where there is no apparent decrease in the number of persons employed, seems to me to call for chalenge I thought the reason we were introducing computers and improved technology into the work situation was to ease the burden on man and not to increase it. [More…]
He has said that if the people don’t vote for his man they won ‘t get money for the dam, Mr Burns said. [More…]
-He was a Dartmouth man. [More…]
I think the citizens of Canberra are very fortunate indeed to have a man of this calibre accept appointment to the Supreme Court of the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
Is it correct that the Prime Minister’s Principal Private Secretary has sought a consulting position with MAN Australia Pty Ltd, a substantial engineering and automotive company? [More…]
It is about dme that the Department of Administrative Services conducted a survey covering a number of years to find out how many returning officers have retired early through illness or have died on the job, how many electoral officers have suffered heart attacks, how many have died from heart attacks, and how many have sought early retirement because of stress. [More…]
That man gave me some figures which seemed to indicate that the strain being placed on electoral officers throughout the Commonwealth was excessive, cruel and inhuman. [More…]
As if to give added weight to that man’s argument, subsequently he had to seek early retirement because of illness. [More…]
I know he is essentially a fair man. [More…]
But accepting that the Minister is essentially a fair man he would find it very difficult to set up a rule for an election in New South Wales without being influenced by his politics and ideological philosophy. [More…]
I am saying it is a charge of rather minor corruption but what he is accusing Mr Coleman of is dishonesty. [More…]
‘If you stand for your own seat of McPherson we will not challenge you but if you stand for the Gold Coast certainly you will be challenged by a National Party man. [More…]
Is there truth in what Mr Kevin Cairns said and, if there is, why is there not an investigation to find out whether Mr Coleman showed bias to Mr Eric Robinson following representations by Mr Eric Robinson? [More…]
I thought that honourable senators opposite would prefer the present situation in which the greatest variation in electorates ranges from 6.3 per cent below the quota in Kalgoorlie to 4.56 percentabovethequotaintheelectoratesof Fremantle and Curtin. [More…]
I thought honourable senators opposite would have said that that comes closer to the principle of one man, one vote, if that is the catchcry - [More…]
I am told that the legislation now before the Senate is necessary to ratify the situation where one man simultaneously holds or acts in two positions of Permanent Head for two separate departments of state. [More…]
But I believe that the international reputation that Australia has at the moment is being damaged by the actions of one man. [More…]
It is entirely irrelevant whether the woman involved in that incident was a former Miss Australia. [More…]
Whether the woman concerned was Mrs Fred Bloggs from down the corner or someone who lives 150 miles from Brisbane and who is from fairly poor circumstances makes not the slightest bit of difference to the fact that the Queensland Premier had the audacity and temerity to call a woman, irrespective of whether she was an Australian, a crow. [More…]
That was a most despicable statement on the part of this man and I think that all Queenslanders will be shocked by it. [More…]
Mrs Helen Bonner, the woman concerned, was certainly shocked by it. [More…]
I suggest that come 12 November there will be many swinging voters in Queensland who will, I hope, see the logic of casting their vote in the right direction. [More…]
Whether they are voters in rural districts or in city electorates, they have now to realise that one man cannot be allowed to get away, as the Premier has been doing, with fooling the people into believing that he is the best thing that ever happened to Queensland. [More…]
But I make the point that we have a man in Queensland who has to realise that he can no longer stand over the people who live there without answering to them for the amount of money that he is supposed to spend. [More…]
Being largely isolated from the effects of civilisation in other parts of the world, the Antarctic continent provides a benchmark by which global pollution, climatic changes and the effects of man’s activity on the earth may be measured. [More…]
At present the Social Services Act provides that a married woman is not entitled to sickness benefit if it is reasonably possible for her husband to maintain her. [More…]
In future a married woman will be able to qualify for a sickness benefit on the same basis as a married man. [More…]
The effect of this is that a married man may receive sickness benefit up to a maximum single rate of $47.10 a week, irrespective of his wife ‘s income. [More…]
However, we will not have the situation that a man married to a millionairess is eligible to claim the sickness benefit. [More…]
In future a married woman will be able to qualify for a sickness benefit on the same basis as a married man. [More…]
The situation until now was that if a man was working and lost his job through sickness he could claim his sickness benefit even if his wife was in employment. [More…]
Time and again we hear honourable senators opposite complaining that when the working man asks for an increase in wages he is holding the country to ransom. [More…]
As I have said in this place on many occasions, the first repercussion of a cutback in public expenditure is that private enterprise does not sell the goods which it employs people to make and so it retrenches its employees. [More…]
I well remember Senator Hall saying in this place when he was not a supporter of the Government but a trenchant critic of it that Mr Fraser was the man who cancelled Christmas. [More…]
How many Christmas celebrations will be cancelled in 1977, as from the first of this month, because of this legislation? [More…]
He described as ‘inhumane’ the Federal Government’s changes to the payment of unemployment scheme under which a newly unemployed family man was given one pay in five weeks- on the 18th day of unemployment, then on the 35th day. [More…]
When Senator Walters spoke to the Bill she tried to recite chapter and verse concerning what this Government had done to help the family man. [More…]
Many of these husbands are in dire straits and seriously embarrassed financially. [More…]
In many cases a man who has been divorced has remarried and has children of the second marriage. [More…]
I understand also that he is an extremely capable man. [More…]
I want to make some brief remarks about Professor Hollows, a dedicated man whom I have known for a number of years. [More…]
This man, who olds a vast number of uranium shares, wants a uranium enrichment plant set up in Queensland but not in Kingaroy. [More…]
Is he an apolitical man, a man who is not interested in politics? [More…]
He is the man who holds the present licence for radio station 2EA in Sydney. [More…]
I am sure that many honourable senators will be surprised to find out that Mr Kaldis was recently nominated by a political party- the Australian Labor Party- as its candidate for a seat in the New South Wales Legislative Council. [More…]
The reason we were included in the membership of that committee was that each of us in his time had been chairman of the Immigration Advisory Council. [More…]
I think that it is a gross disservice to a man like Senator Davidson for an implication to be made that he would be a plaything in some gigantic socialist plot. [More…]
This gentleman of the cloth stormed into my office and insulted my secretary. [More…]
It was ill-timed and ill-advised for a man of the cloth to use the language he did to me and my secretary. [More…]
This was a man from the Right. [More…]
They received no help at all from the white man until 1972, and the great strides that were made between 1972 and 1975 are being whittled away by a Government that is telling the people what it is doing for the Aboriginals. [More…]
This would be all very well if the Government were paying the relocation allowances only to single persons because generally they have not too many ties in the towns in which they are living, but what about the married man with children going to school, the man who has bought a house and is paying it off. [More…]
Former Senator Mattner kept his political values strong and was a man with a keen sense of his obligations to his fellow citizens. [More…]
He was essentially humane and understanding in his interpretation of public duties. [More…]
He was, as you will recall, Mr President, a genial and companionable person much given to hospitality, as many of us can testify with our memories of enjoyable days as his guest at the Onkaparinga Easter meetings. [More…]
Those of us who worked with him and knew him are grateful for his contribution to the Senate and to the Parliament, and grateful for all the service which his many years of life enabled him to give. [More…]
Anyone who has read, as I have recently, Gammage ‘s book The Broken Years and recalls the dreadful experience that had to be combatted by our soldiers of the Australian Imperial Force in France ought to be permanently conscious of the extreme debt we owe to men whose individual courage sustained the armies which brought success to our way of life. [More…]
Lastly I want to pay a tribute to Ted Mattner as a family man. [More…]
He was proud of the members of his family and they gave him affection, as I have been a happy witness to on many occasions during their visits here. [More…]
I think it is a great privilege that on this occasion the Senate has to acknowledge a man of the calibre of former Senator Mattner. [More…]
As Senator Wright has said, Teddy Mattner was a great man. [More…]
I became very impressed with Mr Mattner, or Senator Mattner as he was then known, because during that time he always remained a man of the people. [More…]
I can vouch for the fact that he was a generous man in providing hospitality. [More…]
The Honourable Sir John Armstrong Spicer was a man who throughout his long and distinguished public life, both inside and outside the Parliament, contributed greatly to the dignity of each position he held. [More…]
Sir John Spicer was a man of great personal integrity and humanity and he readily gained the respect and admiration of all those who came in contact with him. [More…]
I know from my colleagues in the industrial sphere of the trade union movement that, as Senator Withers has said, he was a man of integrity and patience in dealing with the very difficult industrial matters that existed in his time. [More…]
They were very meticulous and exhausting inquiries, and I know from speaking to many who served with him and appeared before him he was unfailingly courteous to people who came before him. [More…]
These qualities made him widely respected not only by the legal community throughout Australia but also by the public, who know that he was a wise judge and a good man. [More…]
Although he was a man unknown to me and, as the Leader of the Opposition (Senator Wriedt) has said, unknown to many honourable senators, the notification relating to his death indicated that he was a man of considerable courage and one who left his mark in the State from whence he came. [More…]
If they are using this as a petty, miserable, mean way of attacking a man behind his back, let them get up and say that. [More…]
Every man should know the importance of the job he is doing. [More…]
The well known quotation from the poet John Donne that ‘no man is an Island, entire of itself, but everyone part of the main’ should be the motto of every trade union and every business. [More…]
If I say anything by way of reflection which might seem harsh, I hope that it will be understood that these remarks are made more in sorrow than in anger and that they are made basically because I am a sad man, even more saddened by yesterday’s opening of Parliament. [More…]
Only some six months ago a man charged in Canberra with the somewhat violent kidnapping of a diplomat revealed in the court proceedings that he formerly had been employed for some time in the kitchens of Parliament House. [More…]
I believe he is the man who was responsible more than any individual in this country for saving Fraser Island. [More…]
How much harder will it be for a Parliament such as this to solve some of the problems which seem to me to arise basically from technology outstripping man’s capacity to make social and moral judgments about how that technology ought to be used. [More…]
He is, of course, the man who yesterday was described in the Melbourne Herald as [More…]
It is desirable, if there is to be a debate about this man, Milan Brych, and if there is to be pressure to bring him to Australia, that we know who he is, what he is and what he represents. [More…]
In the Medical Journal of Australia of 8 October there was a summary of the events surrounding this man’s arrival in New Zealand, his provisional registration as a doctor, his being investigated, his deregistration, his determination to appeal, and his flight from New Zealand to the Cook Islands, where he has again been registered as a doctor despite the fact that he was deregistered because he had forged and falsified all the documents which were used to get him New Zealand registration in the first place. [More…]
This man has gone to the Cook Islands. [More…]
It occurred when the Premier of Queensland publicly intervened to urge that the man come to Australia. [More…]
He made some serious and direct threats against a Minister of the Crown saying that he would ‘put the skids under him’ if he did not agree to let this man in. [More…]
It is desirable to point out to the Senate that this man’s claims have been tested fairly simply. [More…]
If this man had an 80 per cent cure rate for cancer surely it would be revealed in any analysis of the hospital figures in Auckland? [More…]
I am suggesting that that kind of evidence and other available analyses do not lend any support to the claims of this man that he has an effective or unusual form of treatment. [More…]
Why am I so worked up about this man in the Cook Islands? [More…]
I am trying to set down some facts about a man who is preying upon his electors and my electors. [More…]
If this man has nothing to offer, what is going on? [More…]
Assume that this man who wants to come to Australia and has such powerful friends trying to promote his entry- powerful friends who are threatening Ministers in the Federal Government and colleagues of mine in my Party- has in fact found a cure for cancer. [More…]
If this man has the answer to cancer he is selling it to a restricted group of patients and he is excluding from it every other cancer sufferer in the world. [More…]
Senator Georges feels that there is no question that this man has a cure for cancer. [More…]
However, there are many Australians who are willing to believe that he has and I put it to them that they should not have to go outside this country to enjoy the benefit of everything Mr Brych says he has to offer. [More…]
I invite the Premier to approach this man, to get the details of his treatment and to make those details public for everyone in Australia. [More…]
When the Premier has done that I will join him in seeking to invite this man to this country and to welcome him. [More…]
If this man comes here, or even if he does not, let him in the name of humanity declare the details of what he does because if it is dangerous and is killing people he should stop his treatment and if it is helpful we should all know what it is. [More…]
I ask every Australian suffering from cancer, every Australian with a relative who has cancer and every Australian considering using this man’s treatment, whether they would settle for anything else. [More…]
Senator Withers, whom I have characterised in the past as the most cynical man in this Parliament, today once again proved me right out of his own mouth in his non-answer to Senator Button’s question about the matter that we are discussing tonight. [More…]
If Kerr had dug his toes in, the Prime Minister just had no way of getting rid of him- a man whom he had praised so lavishly. [More…]
Sir Garfield Barwick ‘s point therefore was that it was appropriate that a man who was not already a High Court judge- namely himselfshould be appointed because there would then be no taint and there would be no suggestion that any High Court judge had been rewarded for services rendered to the government. [More…]
I certainly believe that Sir Zelman Cowen, on all of his publicrecord up to date, has moral standards much higher than those of his predecessor. [More…]
From now on any Governor-General will know that Malcolm Fraser is a man who will pay for favours rendered. [More…]
It is just possible that this appointment may have a salutary effect in the long run if it turns out to be the beginning of a process of showing the Australian people to what sort of man they have entrusted the highest political office in this country, the prime ministership. [More…]
The people of South Australia then elected Senator-elect Baden Teague, a very able man, who will take up his term in July. [More…]
It must be a severe embarrassment to Senator Missen to be a member of a party led by such a man as Mr Fraser and which includes Senator Walters. [More…]
What credibility in the councils of the world has such a man? [More…]
We heard one of the best speakers in this Parliament, one of its best brains, one of the people I most respect in this Parliament, Senator James McClelland, going back to carry on the vendetta against a man who was formerly a friend and was appointed by the Labor Party to what I regard as the highest office in the landthat of Governor-General. [More…]
It was a brilliant speech, brilliantly carried out by a man who is undoubtedly a very capable speaker and lawyer; but it was a pity that he had to use his talents to show that the Labor Party has still neither forgotten nor forgiven what it, in its paranoic way, believes was an injustice. [More…]
It was obviously a matter involving some degree of gloating, some degree of excitement within the ranks of the so-called Opposition, that we should have heard tonight a very effective, if slightly vindictive, attack upon a man who was formerly a friend of the people who made the attack. [More…]
I believe that the attempt by the Labor Party to overthrow parliamentary democracy in Australia, the attempt by the Whitlam Government to rule without Supply and to force the banks to provide the finance to enable the then Government to continue contrary to the democratic process had created a situation where the man with the responsibility for blowing the whistle and letting the people speak had to act. [More…]
In my view whatever the man has done subsequently, in November 1975 Sir John Kerr showed considerable courage and great constitutional propriety in making the decision he did. [More…]
I believe that it is time that we recalled that it was not simply the work of one man which produced the Senate committee system. [More…]
That pleasure is enhanced by the fact that we will be delivering the Address-in-Reply to the new Governor-General, Sir Zelman Cowen, a man who has by his career demonstrated that he stands for all things which I think we share in common in this chamber and in the House of Representatives, from whatever part of the political spectrum we come. [More…]
If we look at Sir Zelman Cowen ‘s career as a lawyer, an academic, a vice chancellor and a commentator on public affairs, we find running right through that career a respect for democracy and for the principles of liberal democracy which I think is something which all members of parliament share with him. [More…]
I believe Sir Zelman Cowen is a man to whom all groups, all sections and all interests can look and can profit by his example. [More…]
It would repay study, because here is a man who has a very positive attitude towards Parliament and the Senate in particular, but who sees some really serious defects in the system. [More…]
That is from a man who, as I have said, is basically sympathetic to the parliamentary institution. [More…]
Stay home and let one man ‘s wage pay for all the family necessities as once it did ‘. [More…]
Trade unions, governments, and employers have let one man’s wage drift so far back that it will no longer keep a wife and family and so we have the family income made up of two people’s wages, and in my opinion one of those people gets less than justice in the market place. [More…]
I can only describe that speech as the most vindictive, bitter tirade that I have ever heard directed against an honourable gentleman who contributed much to Australia prior to becoming the GovernorGeneral of Australia and while he held that office. [More…]
I might add that this honourable gentleman was appointed by the Whitlam Government and was alleged to be a very close and personal friend of the man who delivered that bitter and vindictive tirade against him last night when he was not able to respond. [More…]
I refer to the situation of the man on the land- the cattle man, the sheep man, the grain grower and the dairy farmer- and the problems that he is experiencing at this time. [More…]
The lack of understanding of lots of people, particularly some people in this chamber, of the problems being experienced by the man on the land never ceases to amaze me. [More…]
One sometimes hears snide remarks being made about the man on the land, such as: ‘How much longer are we going to prop up the rural industries? [More…]
I can only say that this is because of a lack of understanding of the problems faced by the man on the land. [More…]
The man on the land has to put up with all those sorts of things. [More…]
They are victimised in so many different ways. [More…]
Sometimes the man on the land has to pay onethird as much more for his petrol and fuel as those of us who live on the eastern seaboard and in the cities elsewhere. [More…]
Whenever someone says that we must help the man on the land and the people in the back blocks by having an equalisation scheme for petrol one gets some people saying: ‘Why should you be doing that for the people on the big cattle stations?’ [More…]
Something must be done to assist the man on the land much more than he has been assisted in the past. [More…]
Let us not forget that when times were good they contributed much more in taxes and everything else than many of us who live on the eastern seaboard and in the cities elsewhere. [More…]
I say that the Government must press on with doing more for the man on the land than it has done up until this time. [More…]
When dealing with Aborigines the white man always comes out on top. [More…]
In the national interest the white man must come out on top and the black man then has to go by the board. [More…]
The evidence from Dr Gerald Milner, a Victorian expert in this field and a man with an international reputation, and evidence from all the other witnesses- in fact there was no evidence to the contrary to disprove the statement- clearly showed that the combined intake of alcohol and marihuana has a disastrous cumulative effect. [More…]
The combined effect of these drugs on the human body has that sort of geometric progression. [More…]
The family has been called the primordial unit of society: Man, woman and their offspring- the greatest influence in all our lives, for good or evil; the source of our hereditary characteristics; and the first model on which our behaviour patterns are built. [More…]
Then he gave her a good hiding to teach her the lesson that wives should stay at home and men should work and if a man can’t work then a wife shouldn’t try to prove she can do better than her man. [More…]
Generally, a man surfers more than a woman from losing a job. [More…]
But people assume that any man of sound mind and body will have a job. [More…]
A man grows up with the expectation that he will be able to earn enough to support his wife and family. [More…]
It becomes an endurance test for an unemployed man to own up to losing his job and to admit that for the time being he is dependent on either his wife or the government for money. [More…]
In a marriage where the man loses his job he cops the first shocks. [More…]
While the man’s spirit is dejected by the private fear that he is a failure, the woman has the stability to think out the practical problems. [More…]
But when the man lost his job the marriage fell to bits. [More…]
I used to think he was a strong man but he crumpled. [More…]
I keep on thinking that underneath their hearty he-man exteriors they are pitifully weak-charactered. ‘ [More…]
‘A man often gets his potency through his work so if his work is taken away from him so is his sexual impetus ‘, Dr Tennant says. [More…]
Time is another trouble for the unemployed man and his wife. [More…]
The hours that used to be filled automatically by work become spaces of time the man must fill himself by using his wits. [More…]
If she does work, the man has a lonely run of the house. [More…]
The problem every wife of an unemployed man faces is whether to let him know how she feels or hang on to silence for the sake of peace until he ‘s working again. [More…]
‘We are still adjusting to the fact that a man can be out of work through no real fault of his own. [More…]
Give an untrained man a gun and a bit of authority and he becomes quite ruthless when he wants to exercise that authority. [More…]
The Minister for Defence, who is a very normal sort of man who has had experience in war and in peace, recently said that we could not carry out proper surveillance unless we had a lot of expensive aeroplanes with which to do it. [More…]
Those of us who not only come from Queensland but also have been associated with the University of Queensland, as have Senator Colston and I, have a particular knowledge of the sort of job that Sir Zelman Cowen did as Vice Chancellor of the University, and look forward with interest to see how this man, who has for many years been recognised throughout Australia for his endeavours in various areas of activity, will fill this post. [More…]
What is the position of a man who lives with a teenage family in a rural area? [More…]
Not so many years ago it used to be an indictment of a person to be sacked. [More…]
I want to tell the Senate about a man. [More…]
More recently Bernard Ceriani an 18-year-old, was charged with stealing $500 from a postman. [More…]
Perhaps the state of excitement that occasioned him to attack a postman could have resulted from his being unemployed, having no unemployment benefit and having no money to buy food. [More…]
Analysis of the records enables discrimination between man-made disturbances and earthquakes, and comparison of the results with other seismic stations enables the location of explosions or earthquakes to be determined. [More…]
The United States will continue to man the Station for its basic nuclear non-proliferation monitoring purpose, and Australia will provide the effort required to adapt the results to research in earth sciences, as well as participating in overall management and providing services for the station. [More…]
I realise that my time is running short but I cannot let this opportunity go by without making reference to a man who has been condemned because of his principles. [More…]
I believe that Mr Bill Toomer, a quarantine inspector employed in Western Australia for many years, will probably be recognised in history as a man with some foresight, but at the moment he is being recognised by his government administrators as a troublemaker. [More…]
Something must be done to assist the man on the land much more than he has been assisted in the past. [More…]
Many men from many countries came here as single men and were killed in industrial accidents and perhaps if their relatives were to visit Australia they could view our recognition. [More…]
I know of one instance of a man who fell into a big concrete pour and there was no way of getting him out. [More…]
Many of them had good friends whose bones lie up there under that project. [More…]
He said, ‘We have too many committees. [More…]
There was another man, to whom Senator Brown has referred, who also was a little bit odd. [More…]
There was a terrible man in Sydney named The Skull who was ultra right wing and who had peculiar ideas. [More…]
I might be over-reacting, but I can assure honourable senators that if we had a six-man committee which dealt in generalities and guidelines- not seeking access to files- some of my fears and those of a lot of other Australians would be removed. [More…]
They try to keep a balance in that no-man’s land between the employers’ demands and the employees’ rights. [More…]
Firstly, I should like to extend congratulations to Sir Zelman Cowen on his appointment to the position of GovernorGeneral. [More…]
I believe him to be a man of great integrity and a man who will be a credit to that office. [More…]
He is there to represent the employers but obviously he is a man with a soul who has some concern, which stands him apart from some of the colleagues with whom he normally has to work. [More…]
The speech was made by a man whom many of us consider to be a highly intellectual, welleducated and well brought up person. [More…]
This statement comes from a man who does not like to hear false accusations made in the Parliament but is perfectly happy to accuse members of the Australian Labor Party of being friends of the communists, if not communists themselves, and supporters of Stalin. [More…]
In fact I would have thought that Senator James McClelland, as other members of the Australian Labor Party have done, was exposing the fact that through the actions of Kerr while he was the Governor-General of Australia the whole democratic constitutional parliamentary system was brought into contempt amongst a great many Australian people. [More…]
If we ever find substantial urban guerilla activity within Australia, the man whose name should stand at the head of the list of responsibility for that sad state of affairs will be Kerr, the man who is now looking after our educational, scientific and cultural affairs in Paris. [More…]
Little did we appreciate that the man who made that comment would himself be presiding over a substantial increase in the numbers of unemployed, exceeding the figures of the Great Depression. [More…]
For many people in Australia, including myself and the people of the outback, I would not consider that that Speech was tedious. [More…]
They brought a higher cost of living to the working family, to the business man, to the carrier and in particular- I have noticed this in the last two years- a higher cost of living in those isolated settlements on our northern coast. [More…]
Australia, as a nation of free people, owes as much to the courage of Sir John Kerr as to any man in our history. [More…]
The Government took this step in the firm belief that Sir John Kerr would fill the post with honour and as ably as any man available from within or without the public service. [More…]
I am reminded of a tape recording that was presented to the Law Reform Commission by a clan leader from Yirrkala, a man by the name of Burramurra. [More…]
I well remember one of the clan leaders from Yirrkala, a man called Daymbalipu Munungurr, speaking to us about the number of foreign vessels coming in around the coast of the Northern Territory to fish illegally. [More…]
After the bitter experience that the Minister had in receiving advice from outsiders in the Maningrida situation- and I refer to Aboriginal outsiders, people who did not belong to that area- he will be very aware of the need to have culturally significant people as advisers. [More…]
As I have said before in this place, many Europeans have a contribution to make, and this is accepted by the Aboriginal people. [More…]
It is a great pity that at Maningrida, a man who was regarded by researchers, by university staff and by institute staff, as a model for those who work amongst the Aboriginal people in the outstation movement was given the sack by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (Mr Viner). [More…]
The king grew angrier and angrier, for he was by now truly afraid, and he was not a man used to fear. [More…]
I know that this debate, like the words that are used in that beautiful song, Old Man River’, has just kept rolling along. [More…]
In supporting the motion in relation to the Address-in-Reply I pay tribute to our new Governor-General, Sir Zelman Cowen. [More…]
I believe the Commonwealth of Australia is fortunate in having as its new Governor-General a citizen of such outstanding calibre as Sir Zelman. [More…]
He is a man who has made an outstanding contribution to the law and to academic life in this country. [More…]
It is well to be reminded that as a Rhodes Scholar and as a Supreme Court prizeman Zelman Cowen gave early evidence of his outstanding abilities. [More…]
Certainly cynicism is a bad thing but perhaps even worse is the treachery of a man against his friend and the verbal assassination of a man’s reputation and his character. [More…]
I regret that Sir John will not be taking up the post which was offered to him, and I will watch carefully the quality of the man who is to fill that important post with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation. [More…]
That post has some relevance to my own portfolio, and in that respect it is interesting to note that UNESCO was established in 1945 for the purpose of advancing, through the educational, scientific and cultural relationships of the peoples of the world, the objectives of international peace and the common welfare of man. [More…]
It is dedicated to the promotion of peace, human rights and the mutual understanding of people. [More…]
It must have been a terrible feeling for that man to return alone to Commonwealth Bay alone after his two mates had died out on the ice just in time to see the ship disappearing, knowing that he was there for another 12 months. [More…]
I have talked to many people. [More…]
I had a telephone call yesterday from a gentleman who is now with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation and who did two winterings in the Antarctic. [More…]
In fact, he may be remembered as the man who was engaged to do the commentary on the Boeing flights to the Antarctic, of which there have now been seven. [More…]
Australia will have to make some sort of a showing in the intervening period so that the world at large will know that we are there and we are carrying out work of a scientific nature and of a kind which proposes to enhance man’s existence on this earth. [More…]
This idea has been proposed by a man who lives in Canberra, Mr David Page. [More…]
Nevertheless, I take the opportunity firstly to commend the appointment of Sir Zelman Cowen as Governor-General. [More…]
I do this with some weight, because Sir Zelman Cowen and myself were at variance for a period of time in Queensland, when he was Vice-Chancellor of the University of Queensland and there were some disturbances on the campus. [More…]
Sir Zelman Cowen is a man of exceptional talent. [More…]
The content of that Address was questionable, but the manner of its presentation was excellent. [More…]
The appointment of Sir Zelman Cowen, I trust, brings to an end a period of dispute which has involved that office, and concerning which much has been said. [More…]
-‘The man who has no secrets has no fears. [More…]
The man who has nothing to hide has nothing to fear’. [More…]
That is indefensible when one looks back to Hitler’s Germany and realises that there was a race there that had nothing to hide but plenty to fear. [More…]
In South Africa, a person who has perhaps a touch of negro blood has nothing to hide but he has plenty to fear if he endeavours to pass for a white man. [More…]
I regret that a man who came into this place with a great reputation will go out of it with none at all. [More…]
As there have been a few words from Senator McLaren and others about redistributions, gerrymanders and the voting system, I have compiled some information on the results for the House of Representatives as at 14.25 hours eastern standard summertime as at 13 January 1978, which I think was about the time of the close of the poll. [More…]
That was in the electorate of Fremantle, where it got the magnificent primary vote of 45.1 per cent. [More…]
If one wants to examine Labor’s performance one can look at the electorate of Canning, where Labor polled 26.9 per cent of the vote. [More…]
In the electorate of Perth, which Labor once held, and in which the sitting Liberal member got an absolute majority, the Labor Party managed to poll 35.3 per cent of the vote. [More…]
Of course, in the electorate of Curtin, which reasonably can be regarded as a blue ribbon seat and which encompasses the State electorate represented by Sir Charles Court- that terrible man who wants us all to live in a ‘State of Excitement’, as Senator Coleman would have us believe- the Labor Party polled 24.4 per cent of the vote. [More…]
The Party which he worked so hard to establish in the 1 890s to protect the working man has now been taken over by the ‘penthouse pinks’. [More…]
Would transport by the Premier of Queensland in any way absolve this man from complying with normal entry requirements or any special entry requirements which might have been laid down by the Australian Government? [More…]
If a committee member absents himself from so many meetings without good reason, he ought to be replaced by somebody else who wants to serve on his committee. [More…]
If Government senators are not going to man committees why can they not be replaced with independent senators? [More…]
I am certain that a man of Senator Harradine ‘s ability and political prowess would not come into the chamber cold on those occasions. [More…]
They decided to stay out on strike for a few days while negotiations were undertaken to have the man reinstated. [More…]
When the dispute first arose it would have been open to Olims to go before a conciliation commissioner and justify its stand on the basis of the man’s capabilities. [More…]
I understand that, as happens on many occasions, this firm had submitted a tender for the concession but found that its calculations were wrong, as a result of which it may have been in financial difficulties had the figures in the tender not been amended. [More…]
Some misleading comments have been made from my left tonight about a man called Bill Wilcox. [More…]
There was no question about that man getting his job back. [More…]
The first case concerns a man who received the first news that he was not to receive unemployment benefit from the Social Security Appeals Tribunal. [More…]
Some time later this man received a letter from the Department of Social Security which said a similar thing; that is, that he had moved to an area of very poor employment prospects and therefore he could not receive any unemployment benefit. [More…]
It was after receiving those two letters that the man came and put a case to me. [More…]
The man had been living very close to the Brisbane area and went to a seaside resort on what we in Brisbane call the north coast. [More…]
At first blush one would say that the man did move from an area where there were reasonable employment prospects, although that is debatable now even in Brisbane, to an area where certainly there are poor employment prospects. [More…]
It seems to me that this is a most unsympathetic decision in respect to a man who is prepared to work and who is able to work. [More…]
I think that those highly critical of this man will get a little surprise. [More…]
Is the Minister aware of the contents of these purported documents and does she agree that if such documents exist they should be published immediately so as to resolve this controversial issue once and for all and to alleviate the mental anguish of cancer sufferers in our country while they await confirmation of this man’s medical credentials and alleged cure of cancer? [More…]
One can imagine the disorder and dissatisfaction that would occur if, for example, one individual made an incursion into Yugoslavia in accordance with the provisions specified in the earlier clauses of the Bill, another person made an incursion into South Africa and, on facts that appeared to be near enough to be identical in each case, the man who made the incursion into South Africa was not prosecuted because of the withholding of a certificate by the AttorneyGeneral but the man who entered Yugoslavia was prosecuted, or vice versa. [More…]
Under the de facto, one man government which we now regrettably have, we fear that the new powers may be misappropriated by the Prime Minister to intimidate or even emasculate the IAC and to effectively silence the institution best equipped to do the economic research which will question and sometimes discredit the economic policies of the Prime Minister who is not noted for his tolerance of informed criticism. [More…]
We now know that the Prime Minister, contrary to the specialist recommendation of his permanent heads, and in defiance of the earlier decision of his own Cabinet, intervened arbitrarily at the instigation of IBM in the letting of a large government contract. [More…]
If this man’s arbitrary power is increased, as it will be by this legislation, will the IAC be used as a tool to advance the business prestige and interests of Andrew Grimwade or some of Mr Fraser ‘s other cronies from the Melbourne Club? [More…]
The real problem, 1 suppose, is not the Bill itself but a Prime Minister who will, when he chooses, take the Bill over, as he takes over everything else in his one-man Government. [More…]
I imagine that it would be alleged that it is terribly wrong, for some reason, for a man to be in receipt of a Governor-General’s pension as Ambassador to UNESCO, I put the query: Is it also wrong in the same sense to receive a salary as a senator as well as the age pension if one is past the age of 69 years? [More…]
Can he give us an assurance that henceforth we are not going to recruit immature people who appear to be the poor man’s James Bond? [More…]
I believe that it is to set up a straw man to say that if we have a civil authority conducting this function we will be able to deal more easily with surrounding countries. [More…]
Many people believe that it may happen here. [More…]
For example, if we discuss with the man in the street the Hilton bombing incident I think the most widespread version of what took place points the finger of suspicion, perhaps totally incorrectly, at members of Australia’s security organisations. [More…]
That is just a man-in- the-street hypothesis. [More…]
Mr Salisbury, who had a distinguished record as a policeman, is reported as saying that the Special Branch in South Australia kept files on a number of people including the Premier and Governor. [More…]
That seems to be the statement of a confused man, to say the least. [More…]
If one contrasts that with the absolute clarity of mind of a man like Lord Denning- [More…]
It stemmed from the allegations surrounding the Profumo Affair, an unfortunate incident in which a Conservative politician was involved and of which a man such as Senator Jessop should take note because it can happen to even the best conservative politician, and then may be the subject of a report. [More…]
The problem of flooding, to which Senator Douglas McClelland has been addressing himself tonight, is basically man-made. [More…]
All the flood problems in New South Wales have been created by man and not by nature. [More…]
The Assembly also talked about the risk of importation of diseases presently exotic to Australia, that is exotic in relation to man, plants and animals. [More…]
The danger is that the importation of fish in containers which hold water from other countries may result in the introduction into Australia of diseases which may affect man, plants or animals. [More…]
People are enabled to compile at will dossiers about the private lives and political lives of many citizens in this country. [More…]
It now appears on the evidence disclosed that this Army man is a representative of a security organisation. [More…]
Harassment of civilians in Alice Springs is not confined to this gentleman. [More…]
He demanded of various people the names of those who had attempted to visit the geological station. [More…]
Incidentlly, because this man is a known agent, people seen being question by him are then shunned by other people in the town in case they too become involved in some sort of conspiracy against the security of this nation. [More…]
If I might illustrate what the Government might do about it: In the last 12 months the Timorese community in Melbourne has, I think it is true to say, been sustained by the activities of Mr Joao Goncalves, who has been their effective welfare officer and has been employed by the Timorese Committee for Permanent Residence. [More…]
He is a man I, and I think other senators from Melbourne know personally, a man who speaks Timorese, Portuguese and English, one who has, far beyond the call of duty, been available at all hours of the night really to solve social problems for members of the Timorese community who are in great distress. [More…]
The letter I read earlier from the Minister relates to this man. [More…]
I refer to the statement that the Minister cannot find $12,000 to keep this man in his position. [More…]
He has become a focal point of the Timorese refugee’s life in Melbourne, has looked after them, has sustained them, has interpreted for them, has looked after their problems with the Minister, with the Minister for Foreign Affairs and so on; for the services of that man who has sustained them for the last 12 months, there is just no money available beyond 7 April. [More…]
It seems to me, leaving aside any notion of human compassion which might possibly grip a Minister of this Government or indeed members of the Senate, in a moment of aberration, to be bad business not to be able to find $12,000 to look after people in that situation. [More…]
The other day we reviewed many individual cases. [More…]
There was one old Chinese man who came from Timor and who wants to go back. [More…]
I suggest to the Government likewise that it ought to find the money and it must surely be able to find the money to support this man. [More…]
That is the history of land which was set aside in my own State of Queensland and in other States of the Commonwealth for Aboriginal people when it had no commercial value, no minerals and nothing else for the white man. [More…]
Immediately minerals were found, or the white man saw it as good agriculture land or good land on which to graze cattle or sheep, it was resumed. [More…]
It went back to the white man. [More…]
A man who has not yet been able to justify his position through parliamentary debate or decision has made a determination about these matters while the Parliament is in recess. [More…]
However, the Queensland Government decided that it would take another attitude and it has forbidden the local commuter aircraft company from carrying this man on its aircraft. [More…]
An instruction has gone out to the company that it is not to carry that man in or out of the area where his family is now settled. [More…]
As a matter of fact, I do not care what the Queensland Government or the Premier of Queensland or Mr Charles Porter say; they will never convince me that the bauxite and the greed of the white man to get out that bauxite are not at the bottom of the problem facing the people of Aurukun and Mornington Island. [More…]
I want to thank the Minister for Education (Senator Carrick), who represents the Minister for National Development (Mr Newman) for putting on record after this matter has been under debate in the other place and in this House- I think this is the third day if you take the two Houses together- some clarification of the statement made by Mr Newman. [More…]
But of course the man in the street is not aware of those things and having read that in the newspaper he would be of the opinion that the Government had made a direct gift of, as the Minister himself is reported as having said in Hansard, $32. [More…]
Ten years ago the first proposal for a new and permanent parliament house was brought to the Parliament. [More…]
Almost to a man every member of this Parliament turned himself into a town planner, an architect or a city engineer. [More…]
If we had had enough nous then we would have handed over the matter to some experts and today we would be in that new and permanent parliament house. [More…]
If one of your officers told you there was a suspicious man in Kings Hall and you had reason to believe he intended to attempt to assassinate a member of parliament you could issue a warrant for his arrest. [More…]
What should be done with a man sitting up there in that public gallery who is alleged to be armed with intent to commit a murder? [More…]
But I was staring that man in the face; so it might have been me he intended to kill. [More…]
One day the senior Senate attendant saw this man prowling up and down in Kings Hall outside the Senate chamber. [More…]
We had that man removed. [More…]
The second problem is that although we had used to the maximum degree the capacity of the Presiding Officers to protect honourable senators and honourable members against assassination, terrorism and mobs, it just comes to mind that that distinguished senator, Dame Annabelle Rankin, a Minister of State, was bailed up in her office across the corridor by a man with a knife in his hand. [More…]
Fortunately, that man was grabbed. [More…]
I do not say that man was dangerous, but he appeared to be agitated and could well have been dangerous. [More…]
It reminds me of commandos during the war years. [More…]
He is a man who has pursued a vendetta against universities since he left them. [More…]
He is a man who appears to have a chip on his shoulder in relation to the activities of those who perhaps surpassed him in his would-be academic pursuits. [More…]
But for a man to conduct a vendetta against those whom he found himself having to leave for one reason or another and to write with a vitriol that is more reminiscent of Pravda than it is of the Australian media - [More…]
Much new knowledge, particularly the knowledge of the basic cell, DNA, is in many ways a frightening thing; but it is for man to understand how he will use the knowledge once that knowledge is exposed. [More…]
It is not for man to be frightened of its exposure. [More…]
According to the President’s opinion, this man, Mr Worth, has the calibre to assist in these matters. [More…]
I have been told something of the history of this man by honourable senators on this side of the chamber who know about him. [More…]
This is the man of high calibre who will protect this House at a time when the Senate has not resolved the question of whether it needs the protection which you, Mr President, are so generously affording us. [More…]
A man in the public gallery threw two CS gas canisters on to the floor of the Chamber soon after 4.30 p.m. while Mr Barber, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, was making a statement about Common Market negotiations. [More…]
It went on to say that among the cries that were raised by the man who threw the gas were ‘How do you like it?’ [More…]
Maybe I am influenced by some of the more dramatic events which have occurred overseas and by the way in which the ingenuity of man has been expressed in the entertainment which is given to us regularly at theatres and on the television. [More…]
In Canberra it could have been organised in a way in which maximum security could have been preserved, particularly in the light of so many instances of attack upon those who represent the country of India and those who hold strong views about Lee Kuan Yew. [More…]
President Kennedy was a man who would in normal circumstances have been as safe as any citizen could be. [More…]
It is very sad that a man of only 42 years of age had his life cut short in such a sudden way. [More…]
Would transport by the Premier of Queensland in any way absolve this man (Mr Brych) from complying with normal entry requirements or any special requirements which might have been laid down by the Australian Government. [More…]
This project, being conducted at Macquarie University, is a psychological study probing into man’s interest in his future. [More…]
-Being that well-known illiterate from the West, I am sorry that I have not been able to read recently and thus find out anything about the Club of Rome, or about man ‘s future. [More…]
I have always understood that whilst it is interesting for a woman to have a past, it is more interesting for a man to have a future. [More…]
Therefore, understanding the honourable senator’s interest in the future of man, I will seek the information for her. [More…]
Mr Peacock is a man who has double standards. [More…]
He expressed those double standards last year when he spoke at the United Nations on the occasion of Australia’s election to the Human Rights Commission. [More…]
The matter was first raised in this Parliament not by those critics on the Labor benches from whom we hear so much now, but by the man who is now Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr Peacock, in the House of Representatives in February 1975. [More…]
He is a man who will have a tremendous responsibility. [More…]
But we have an inner fear about the chain of command. [More…]
Many people who live in country areas have suffered because of the cost of fuel. [More…]
It is not good enough just to say that we are helping the grazier, the man on the land. [More…]
I think it is worth reminding honourable senators that some 50 years ago a certain figure of fun strutted around Austria and Germany. [More…]
However that man finally caused more suffering, death, murder and plunder than anyone else in living memory. [More…]
It is clear to me and I am sure to many honourable senators on both sides of the chamber that something has gone very wrong in Queensland. [More…]
It is precisely because of the attitude of the Premier that there is developing in that State the same sort of prejudices and biases which we hear expressed by this man. [More…]
Aborigines are not important to this man. [More…]
To him they represent a problem at election time but because of his outrageous gerrymander he is able conveniently to ignore them otherwise. [More…]
It is not possible to reason with an unreasonable man and the Premier must be regarded in that way. [More…]
Any rational observer could only admit that the operation of the Queensland Aboriginal Act is nothing but a breach of the United Nations Convention on the elimination of all forms of racial discrimination, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Labour Organisation conventions. [More…]
They do not understand how the white man carries on the business of government through political machinations. [More…]
It is unfortunate to note that the zeal for pastoral care has, in many instances, been replaced by a philosophy of materialism and political bias. [More…]
The result is proof of the simple statement that ‘man does not live by bread alone ‘, and this is instanced by a marked decline in the moral and physical standards of some communities. [More…]
It is unfortunate to note that the zeal for pastoral care has, in many instances, been replaced by a philosophy of materialism and political bias. [More…]
The result is proof of the simple statement that “man does not live by bread alone”, and this is instanced by a marked decline in the moral and physical standards of some communities. [More…]
Nor can we accept the allegations that support for groups of people returning to their land is a ‘white man’s experimentation’. [More…]
The people of Palm Island, the Gorge, Kowanyama and Bamaga, the people in the Torres Strait, with a couple of exceptions who are totally dominated by the Premier, and the people of many other centres of Queensland have followed this public debate with great interest. [More…]
What manner of man are we dealing with, who has caused all this trouble amongst the Aboriginal people in Queensland and who has caused even the Government which honourable senators opposite support to bring on this very weak legislation? [More…]
First of all, the type of man we are dealing with is obvious. [More…]
Halfway down the coast of Queensland in what is known as the central district, a Japanese man, Mr Iwasaki has been allowed to take over 20,000 acres of some of the best coastal land in Queensland to develop it as a tourist resort. [More…]
I mention these things because they are totally consistent with what is happening in relation to these two reserves and to many other reserves in Queensland. [More…]
Two sets of education aids- the Social Education Materials Project and Man a Course of Study- have been banned. [More…]
The Queensland Premier is the same man who sent a cablegram to the Government of Indonesia congratulating the Indonesians on their invasion of East Timor and their atrocities against the Fretilin organisation. [More…]
He is the same man who called for the doubling of the number of troops who went to Vietnam during that time when this country was involved in that infamous war. [More…]
He has been a very good front man for the Premier in the takeover of the Aurukun and Mornington Island reserves. [More…]
The reason I am doing this is to prove to you, Mr President, and to your Government that the man we are dealing with in Queensland is quite out of this world. [More…]
This man controls the State and no one may have a differing opinion. [More…]
While the Council has the right to prevent an Aborigine entering the reserve, it has no right to stop a white man entering the reserve. [More…]
On 1 June the accountant reported that there was misappropriation of funds and immediately the man was dismissed and the Queensland Fraud Squad notified. [More…]
Before the sitting was suspended I mentioned the problems that alcohol had presented in the lives of the Aboriginal people and the fact that we, in our idealism, probably paternalism, had thought that by legislating their right to drink we would literally assist their entry into white man’s society. [More…]
It is unfortunate, but I think true, that the courts, the gaols, the park benches and the gutters of this country are littered with the results of our attempt to skull-drag these people into the white man’s twentieth century. [More…]
Nobody is denying that one man doing the same work as another man is entitled to receive equal pay. [More…]
Of course as soon as the courts decided that these men had to be given equal pay, employment for them of necessity had to cease and many problems started from there. [More…]
As there was no work and no tucker on the properties the Aborigines started to drift into the fringe society that we find around many of our country towns today. [More…]
I am reminded of Burramurra who is one of the Mala leaders of Yirrkala, a man who has just been honoured by the Queen with an M.B.E. [More…]
It is not that many years ago that the Government in its paternalistic way moved on to settlements and removed children from their parents because it thought this was in the best interests of the children. [More…]
I could show honourable senators classic examples of housing that had been selected by the white man for the use of Aborigines but which was not used because it was not appropriate to the Aboriginal people. [More…]
I rise because we have reached the stage in the national Parliament of exhibiting a deplorable predicament of the white man who holds the government of Australia, both at the Federal and State levels- the only two known jurisdictions of legislative authority in this country yet. [More…]
I believe that a man would be a mere babe in the woods in political experience to take any of the evidence on one side or the other as persuasive, much less compelling a rational judgment of a member of this chamber to prefer one system or the other. [More…]
It is untrue because by-laws relating to self-management have operation only if they are approved by a Commonwealth Minister and are not disallowed by one House of the Federal Parliament. [More…]
It is a completely delusive proposition to say that there will be self-management. [More…]
I would not support uncontrolled self-management but I point out the deceptive nature of the proposition and why this Bill must go through the crucible of intense parliamentary examination. [More…]
In a committee of this chamber we would see whether the exigencies bring up any proposal and give an opportunity for the warring divisions of the white man -State and Federal- to take a little time to add a cubit to their stature by taking thought. [More…]
We know, because it has been reported, that a detailed study of 39 Aboriginal reserves to assess their mineral potential has been carried out by a wholly owned subsidiary of Conzinc Riotinto of Australia Ltd. A memorandum dated 15 December 1976 to the General Manager of CRA Exploration Pty Ltd lists the reserves in order of importance as exploration targets. [More…]
They said they deliberately turned their backs on the white man’s world to make their own lives on their own land. [More…]
There is every evidence that the Queensland Parliament will manipulate that Act to the detriment of the Aboriginal people and to the detriment of what may be the best intentions of this Bill. [More…]
It gives communities no right to enforce their by-laws against the white man. [More…]
We know that in many areas Aboriginal people suffer from alcoholism just as in many areas of Australia white men suffer from alcoholism. [More…]
We know that many Aboriginal communities understand that they have a problem which is more than one can say for the white community. [More…]
If the Aborigines pass a by-law prohibiting the use of alcoholic liquor on their reserves they cannot enforce that law on the white man. [More…]
The white man may bring alcohol and may sell it to the Aboriginal people as he has done for so long. [More…]
All the Aboriginals in Tasmania are dead. [More…]
The Tasmanians shot them all. [More…]
This is the type of man who blows off steam and tells us what to do. [More…]
Many honourable senators were not in this chamber last night. [More…]
He is a man for whom I have a high regard. [More…]
But what about another man? [More…]
A man running a business may have to compete with an Aboriginal businessman who has been financed in this way. [More…]
I agree it seems odd that a white man who goes on to a reserve administered by a council for which, of course, he does not vote may not be under the control of that council in terms of behaviour. [More…]
The advice drew attention to the need for adequate control by commanders at all levels to ensure that any additional training was essential and that the average of 36 days training per man was not exceeded within their units. [More…]
What action has been taken by the Government to develop ‘a national philosophy which mobilises public opinion to recognise the discrimination suffered by the handicapped in our midst; a philosophy which motivates employers, trade unionists, the man in the street to play a role in overcoming barriers which continue to deny the handicapped many of the fundamental human rights’, in view of the Minister’s speech at Manila, in January 1978, concerning legislation for the handicapped in Australia, and the Minister’s reference to services for ‘severely disabled persons of working age ‘. [More…]
Much as I am anxious not to restrict the right of ordinary senators to speak in an adjournment debate, the man who cannot say what he has to say within 10 minutes has too much to say in an adjournment debate. [More…]
The motto of the British printing trade union states: ‘The man who suffers an injustice with the power to remove it deserves not compassion but contempt. ‘ [More…]
Let us look again at the man on the land. [More…]
I mention those very important matters as they adversely affected the man on the land. [More…]
Fuel costs are a big cost factor for the farmer and the man on the land. [More…]
By offering other services to motorists, encouraging volume sales in those areas and cutting their overheads, the oil companies have been able to give discounts to many Australian motorists. [More…]
I have noticed that in recent times quite a number of the service stations that are giving discounts are service stations that have changed to self-service rather than have people man the pumps. [More…]
He is a man whom I greatly admire. [More…]
He is a man we will miss greatly, probably more than anyone. [More…]
But it was provided that the beneficiary, who gets a superannuation pension qua widowed, and who marries a millionaire, a man who is worth half a million or somebody who can provide the average weekly earnings, will not have that benefit terminated by the marriage. [More…]
This man was accompanied by a female who had a single strap bag over her shoulder. [More…]
It would make no difference if Neville Bonner, Alan Missen or even Senator Withers- I do not want to elevate any honourable senator’s more than he should be- were the Prime Minister of Australia, Mr Bjelke-Petersen would still take the same dog in the manger attitude. [More…]
The fact of the matter is that this man has adopted a negative attitude. [More…]
At present the United States and other countries are indulging extensively in the mining of manganese from the seabed and we must be prepared to join in when necessary. [More…]
The men who man the specialised ships involved with mineral and oil exploration should come from our own country if possible. [More…]
I think we are very lucky to have a man of his calibre in Tasmania to look after this College which, of course, will be a very important college. [More…]
This man is well known as a KGB agent. [More…]
It is suggested that this man is part of the team negotiating with the Australian Government in an attempt to obtain licence for the Russian foreign fishing fleet which has well established connections with the Russian war machine in intelligence gathering to operate in the extended economic zone. [More…]
Having mentioned the Interim Council, I should also like to associate myself with my colleagues from Tasmania in congratulating the Interim Council for the work that it has done to this stage. [More…]
I should like to associate myself with the accolades that have been paid to the Manager of the Port of Launceston Authority, Jack Edwards, who is a man of great vision and almost unbounding energy. [More…]
The trade union movement in this country has done precious little about the fact that it now takes two people’s wages to keep a family and the days when one man’s wages were sufficient to keep a wife and family and women did not have to work have gone. [More…]
No woman in this community takes lightly a decision to have an abortion. [More…]
I remind Senator Carrick that the author of those words was the man who served as Treasurer in the Government for two years. [More…]
The other 556 men averaged $17,700 per man, the maximum payment being $30,462 and the minimum being $33. [More…]
The Government’s authority thinks it has sufficient status as the industry journal of the Waterside Workers Union to know- the official journal of the WWF, total payments ranged from $47,500 for a man just turned 60 to about $ 10,000 for a man almost 65. [More…]
Honourable senators will remember that the Parliament was persuaded to apply two levies- a cargo levy and a man-hour levy. [More…]
If the employers at each of the permanent ports have to bear their own costs of idle time, either individually or collectively, some of those ports will be seriously disadvantaged and their viability prejudiced. [More…]
In the March quarter of 1977, it would have ranged from 32c per man hour at Fremantle to $6.99 per man hour at Hoban. [More…]
1 1 per man hour. [More…]
He implied that a man received a golden hand shake at the age of 55. [More…]
I know that many times an employer finds it difficult to give a man who has been maimed in the service of the firm permanent, selective duties. [More…]
I suppose one man’s militant is another man’s moderate; it depends on the attitude one takes. [More…]
As a matter of fact, a man who has almost been canonised in industrial relations and a man who suffered lots of ups and downs, namely, Mr Bridges, has led strikes on the West Coast and on the East Coast of the United States which have gone for much longer than any strikes here. [More…]
and (3) A man who had been engaged in work at the AAEC’s Research Establishment at Lucas Heights, Sydney, died in April 1977 from leukemia. [More…]
AAEC records show that the man had never worked on nuclear reactors at Lucas Heights, although doubtless he had been in the vicinity of a reactor on occasions. [More…]
I was held by them all day and then they made a record of me although I am an innocent man. [More…]
I should like to know whether that gentleman and some of his colleagues on the other side of the chamber would be as vocal in their defence of some other national group as they are of the Greek national group. [More…]
Whenever a person not born in Australia becomes, say, a sportsman of the year or a beauty queen, the media will never label them as an ‘Italian man’, or a Greek girl’. [More…]
It is certainly not for me to cast aspersions on the status of Clerical Assistants, Grade 1, but this man personally felt the move to this position was a loss of status. [More…]
Whilst obviously one can say that other clerical assistants manage to live on their salaries and therefore he ought to be able to manage, I think many of us would understand that, having dropped $2,500 in salary plus these additional penalty and overtime rates as well as losing the provision of a uniform and the subsidies and so on, it would have been very difficult for him to move down the salary scale. [More…]
One of the disturbing features of this case to me is that the man has been penalised for an injury which occurred while he was at work. [More…]
It seems to me that special demands are made of police officers and therefore special conditions ought to apply to them. [More…]
It appears that this man has received no compensation for what was a traumatic thing, the loss of hearing. [More…]
It concerned a married man with five children. [More…]
I am told that the reason the man did not apply for unemployment benefit or did not go to the office of the Commonwealth Employment Service during that time was because he was informed by a friend that it was of no use applying for the unemployment benefit for a period of six weeks because he had terminated his job voluntarily and he would not get any unemployment benefit. [More…]
He made one firm application to obtain a position in an hotel bottle department and was interviewed by the assistant manager. [More…]
By this time I believe that this man was in fairly desperate straits trying to keep his family. [More…]
The case was brought to the attention of my office and some efforts were made by my staff to see whether the man could receive some benefit. [More…]
When I was talking to one of these two officers I was also particularly disappointed about the value judgments which were made of the way in which this man spent the money. [More…]
He is a man who has pursued a vendetta against universities since he left them. [More…]
He is a man who appears to have a chip on his shoulder in relation to the activities of those who perhaps surpassed him in his would-be academic pursuits. [More…]
But for a man to conduct a vendetta against those whom he found himself having to leave for one reason or another and to write with a vitriol that is more reminiscent of Pravda than it is of the Australia media - [More…]
Senator Henty was a man well liked on all sides of the Parliament. [More…]
Many of us who were members of the Parliament at the time will recall the kindliness and ready friendship which he offered to all people with whom he came in contact. [More…]
He was at all times a great advocate, a purposeful advocate and an effective advocate for the interests that he discerned as being worthy of Tasmania’s advancement, particularly that of northern Tasmania. [More…]
He was the type of person who was not a theorist and was not merely a spokesman, but a man of practical insight who saw how causes can be effectuated in politics. [More…]
During all my experience of Sir Denham I found him to be a man of great courage and a man of very high principle. [More…]
In many other ways also he carried out his duties in that portfolio with distinction. [More…]
I am of a different generation from Sir Denham ‘s, but it was he who was my first real connection with the political world of northern Tasmania. [More…]
He received great respect from me and I think from all Tasmanians of every political persuasion. [More…]
He was a real public man. [More…]
Most of all, as Senator Wright said, he was very much the practical man. [More…]
I know that he will be greatly missed by all Tasmanians. [More…]
In fact, in the many upheavals in which I have been involved in this chamber, he was probably the only senior Minister who was never responsible for removing me from this chamber. [More…]
He was a very tolerant man who would rather argue out a matter with you on the floor of the Senate. [More…]
He said to me across the chamber that it was a pity he had so many boats built in Queensland because of the slowness of the State and the construction program. [More…]
He again said in a jocular sort of way when he came back that there were two discoveries he had made: He had spent so many hours at Brisbane Airport that he realised the city needed a new airport. [More…]
He was a friendly man after he left the Parliament. [More…]
It may well be that the future generations will pay homage to the foresight of that man. [More…]
Basically, we prepare for the enlistment of officers to man our stations during the extended winter period from about Christmas of one year to about the following Christmas. [More…]
Not being a legal man like Senator Missen, I could not argue the legal constitutional point. [More…]
That land was given to my people by God Almighty- not by a white man. [More…]
The first of these is that a man tells the truth and if a man speaks his clansmen will believe what he says. [More…]
To that attitude is tied the thought that the man keeps his word; that if he gives his word, he keeps it. [More…]
They believe that the law of the white man should be the same, and that it should be obeyed and not circumvented. [More…]
The fourth factor is that the lawman, an elder, is looked up to. [More…]
Pancontinental also employs a man called Mr Bob Randall who is an Aboriginal. [More…]
I am amazed that there are so many people in the Parliament who are able to sweep away the reality of the risks associated with waste disposal and with the problems of weapons proliferation. [More…]
Those people who cast aside these problems of waste disposal and weapons proliferation cast aside their moral responsibility to protect their fellow man. [More…]
At the beginning of the film there was a shot of Windscale closely followed by pictures of a man who had suffered severe radiation burns. [More…]
If a man is asked if he will accept a 100 per cent increase on a natural risk he may well be alarmed and say that he will not. [More…]
Yet the risks involved in those situations would be the same as those for a man working in a nuclear station. [More…]
You and I may live to be 100, and even the Neanderthal man is only 75,000 years old. [More…]
As our society believes that any progress involves a certain degree of risk, we’re going to weigh that risk by asking one basic question: whether the problem of atomic waste has brought us to the threshold of our ability to manage our own plant. [More…]
One of the people interviewed on this Four Corners program was a man who has devoted himself to the public good in the United States. [More…]
He is often criticised and even despised by the selfish, greedy, avaricious, self-seeking, so-called capitalists who dominate so many parts of the privileged section of the Western world. [More…]
If it can be proved that the disposal of nuclear waste is foolproof, if it can be proved that there is a means of disposal so that the waste will not be a menace to people employed in the industry and so that it will not be used by people of evil intent for waging war against their fellow man, and if it can be proved that the substance will not be used by terrorists who wish to gain some temporary advantage, then civilisation will continue into the future. [More…]
But it will do so only if the problems are solved before we embark on what is, in my view, the commencement of a very dangerous and a very harmful experiment in human behaviour. [More…]
Man is at a threshold of his evolution. [More…]
The great faculties which have been provided and the great improvements in the exchange of information and knowledge which have been made in the recent past have enabled man to come to grips with so many of the unknown quantities which face mankind. [More…]
Or will man be able to choose the path on which he can emancipate himself from the darkness of the past and use his great developments to his advantage? [More…]
We live in a world which unfortunately has not been able to emancipate itself from the selfishness, the greed and the avarice which has brought about so much unhappiness and friction in the past. [More…]
I believe that at this time in our history when we can embark upon an era in which man can be liberated from many of the disadvantages of the past we should tread very warily in the use of thermo-nuclear power. [More…]
I will admit that to follow that path could be of tremendous advantage to mankind, provided the safeguards are there. [More…]
After hearing some of the speakers from the Opposition I think it would have been interesting to have been a member of a chamber such as this when the first Stone Age man carved out the wheel. [More…]
Of course it is withering to one’s thoughts when one contemplates the minuscule position that a member of parliament occupies when faced with a problem of the application of those enormous forces that science has discovered to the individual man and to his civilisation. [More…]
For example, CSIRO will continue to undertake basic research, such as in astronomy, atmospheric physics and oceanography, to increase man’s knowledge of the region in which we live. [More…]
I wish to refer to the remarks of another honourable senator who I believe to be an honourable man. [More…]
It is scarcely surprising that a man of such formidable talent for the law, and such high regard for its sanctity, should be chosen to serve as Attorney-General in both the State and Federal spheres, or that he should have distinguished those Ministries with his commanding legal experience. [More…]
From the ashes of the UAP, and through the vision and undaunted determination of one man, Sir Robert Menzies, there arose the Liberal Party of Australia. [More…]
Mr President, such were the achievements and stature of the man that it was to be expected that some would say he was a distant political figure. [More…]
To this one man- Robert Gordon MenziesAustralia owes an immense debt. [More…]
Yet, in the era of the anti-hero, Menzies was an heroic figure- a giant of a man in intellectual capacity as well as physical size. [More…]
When men shall declare that there was no mystery About this man who played a certain part in history. [More…]
He was a man who made enemies, not only outside the Liberal Party but also inside. [More…]
The Very Reverend Frederick McKay, who conducted Sir Robert’s funeral service in Scots Church, Melbourne on Friday last, said that no words spoken at the service could add to the stature of the man. [More…]
No greater tribute could have been paid to a man who was himself a bastion of democracy than to have Prince Charles, representing the Queen, take a leading part in Sir Robert’s funeral service in his own church, in his own home city. [More…]
Many of us would wish to emulate his character, his capacity and his wisdom. [More…]
I expect that there are many- and I am one- who have profited from an association with that great man. [More…]
My first mental picture of Sir Robert Menzies, which I retain, is of a man striding down Collins Street in Melbourne, head above the crowd, with a stride which showed the obvious purpose and destiny of that man. [More…]
That was many years ago. [More…]
He was a man whose personal actions strengthened one’s respect for the depth of thought and consideration which he gave to an enormous range of problems. [More…]
Since time immemorial man has questioned the hereafter. [More…]
To Dame Pattie, who was so obviously the perfect partner to this man in his difficult and trying career, I add a contribution of respect and comfort which is, of course, inadequate on such an occasion. [More…]
This was easy for, inevitably, as must happen to a man of his stature and background, the Press always concerned itself with him, his actions, his sayings, the person he was and the person it wanted him to be. [More…]
It is difficult, however, for someone with no first-hand knowledge of a man to know how much of what one hears or reads about him is myth or a reality unembellished by adulation or spite. [More…]
He was a man revered by many sections of the community but feared and hated by others. [More…]
They show the wit, the man who was never lost for words, an articulate, clever proponent of whatever he thought was right. [More…]
I have no anecdotes to contribute to this picture of Sir Robert Menzies, statesman extraordinaire. [More…]
It says a great deal about a great man and even more about the changes that have taken place in Australian society over the past quarter of a century. [More…]
The story concerns a young man who was then President of the Adelaide University Liberal Union, Sir Robert Menzies who was then Prime Minister of Australia, a speech, a haircut, the [More…]
Chief Justice of South Australia and an ordinary man in the street. [More…]
What struck my friend, the President of the Liberal Union, was the unfeigned and total deference accorded to Sir Mellis by the man who was then Prime Minister of Australia. [More…]
On the way they met an ordinary man in the street who came up to Sir Robert, shook his hand and treated him with the same awe and deference as Bob Menzies had previously shown to Sir Mellis Napier. [More…]
He said how much he admired the Prime Minister, how much good he thought he was doing and what a wonderful man he thought he was. [More…]
Sir Robert, loved or loathed, was a great man. [More…]
Whilst Australia has lost a man who is an integral part of her history the members of his family have lost not a hero but the man they loved. [More…]
I wish to add my own personal and quiet tribute to a man whom I knew for some 32 years, a man who I met immediately after the Second World War and a man whose career I observed closely throughout the whole of that period. [More…]
In so doing I shall peek behind the outward commanding presence of the man, the outward personality, the oratory, the obvious giantness of intellect and look with just a few words at the man I knew. [More…]
Time and history will form a consensus that will put the stature of the man Menzies in perspective. [More…]
I found him then to be still a relatively young man, a man of very limited means, a man who could have made a fortune at the Bar but took the modest providence of Parliament as his career and a man who like the Churchills, the Adenauers and the de Gaulles had been shaped, burnished and strengthened by defeat and adversity. [More…]
In fact, the man was a shy and reticent man to all who knew him and were close to him. [More…]
I say this not in any retrospect at all; many of my friends have shared these experiences with me. [More…]
In those years I saw the family man. [More…]
Those people who served with him are the complete proof of the man- of his qualities and of the affection which he engendered around hin. [More…]
That was the first time I had ever seen the man lost for words. [More…]
He asked for time to consult his wife and was genuinely, for hours, worried lest if he were to accept that might be misjudged by the people of Australia; that they might feel their Prime Minister was no longer the kind of common man who had served them so well. [More…]
I heard him so many times speak of his links in days gone by in the arbitration system, with the trade unions, how proud he was that he had won some famous cases for the trade union movement, and of his friendship and affection for trade union leaders such as Albert Monk. [More…]
So it goes, and out of it emerges not an arrogant or overpowering man but a man with a quite flexible mind who many times I saw accept advice which changed his mind. [More…]
I remember well that he told me: ‘Do not enter politics, young man. [More…]
As I turn towards one seat in this chamber and see Shirley Walters I am reminded of the man whom Sir Robert said was a man in a millionEric Harrison. [More…]
He was a man of position. [More…]
He was a man of great stature, both mentally and from the aspect of education. [More…]
People talk nonsense at times and, when referring to great men, quite often they say: ‘Of course, he was a man of those days; he would not be a man of today. ‘ [More…]
In other words, he was never a man aloof from Parliament. [More…]
Nor did he ignore the part of the parliamentary system that required work in the electorate and actions and speeches which took him round the country so many times stirring up the community to the points of view he felt needed to be raised. [More…]
In his respect for Parliament and the political process Sir Robert Menzies did a great deal that will be of permanent value to this country. [More…]
I am sure they will have the feeling that although they have lost a great family man and a fine friend, they have given to the nation someone who was worthy. [More…]
As so many people have said, he was Australia’s greatest statesman. [More…]
Few people have commanded such respect and love from a cross-section of the community- from the man in the street to Queen Elizabeth herself- and this must be of great comfort to Dame Pattie and her family. [More…]
There is nothing that I can say that will add to the stature of this man or the respect that I hold for him. [More…]
I thought that little story would be just one more example of the loyalty and integrity of that man to his colleagues even though the cost at that time was high. [More…]
I was privileged, as a much younger man, to be associated with the events of that day as his host. [More…]
Over the years there were many other opportunities to associate with him publicly and, of course, I had the privilege of serving under him in the Parliament. [More…]
We remember Sir Robert Menzies today for many things. [More…]
This afternoon I have taken leave to mention the National Library of Australianot only to mention it with appreciation, but also to mention it as an indication of our remembrance of the man. [More…]
Mr Porter is a man of his own choosing. [More…]
Mr Porter is a man with far less sympathy for the Aboriginal people and probably is much worse in this regard than any Minister currently sitting in any Parliament. [More…]
During this program the Cherbourg man, who came in with a written question, was probably one of Mr Porter’s friends. [More…]
One wonders what the Government is about in introducing something like that when a knowledgable and senior medical man on the Government side questions whether the health funds will take this up. [More…]
I would ask the Senate to pay particular regard to the words of a man such as Senator Webster. [More…]
Others have described him as a hit man for the Tasmanian conservatives, a political equivalent of a hired gun, and a deadly accurate politician. [More…]
He is a man who quite laughingly dismisses the fears of many experts and thousands and thousands of other people in this country about the dangers of nuclear power. [More…]
He is a man who, if I can say so respectfully again, was a bikie long before Malcolm Fraser made it fashionable, a man who has displayed a great deal of knowledge and understanding of the Liberal Party. [More…]
From that time I abandoned my scepticism about Senator Withers because I thought: ‘This fellow is no slouch after all; he is a man who gets telegrams from Sir Charles Court; he knows what it is all about; he mixes with the real big wigs of Australian politics and knights of the realm and all those people who have made Australia the country it is today; he is in that company; and all my views about him in the past must have been uncharitable and wrong’. [More…]
Thou canst not then bc false to any man. [More…]
That is a question which today the man in the street, the mothers of little children and our future mothers are asking. [More…]
The man in the street will gain nothing. [More…]
The Government claims that the results of the past two general elections gave it a mandate to go ahead with this legislation. [More…]
I think that you would be a greater man– [More…]
It would be a recognition of the equality of Aboriginal land owners with white land owners and, through the Aboriginals’ Land Council, they would have an Aboriginal tribunal which was equal to the white man’s tribunal in the Northern Territory. [More…]
It is giving the white man’s tribunal superiority over the Aboriginals’ tribunal on matters relating to Aboriginal land. [More…]
If good rapport is being established between the Legislative Assembly and the tribal Aborigines in the Northern Territory, no one would suggest that this rapport would be upset or corrupted by giving Aborigines in the Northern Territory equality with the white man’s parliament in the Territory. [More…]
I do not think Senator Kilgariff would suggest that we would be corrupting that cooperation and friendship by giving them equality with the white man. [More…]
Under clause 28, when the court is approached for an order to require a man who has refused or failed to comply with the notice to furnish the information or document, that right is given after the court is satisfied. [More…]
As I have said, they are possibly more concerned with conservation than is the white man. [More…]
I have no instructions on this question from my Party but I record my opposition to the attitude taken in this Bill that the black man in the Northern Territory is of no account. [More…]
He is well informed on matters relating to possible hazards to human beings in this important area of energy development. [More…]
I congratulate the Minister on choosing a man of the calibre of Mr Fry. [More…]
Plutonium is often called the most toxic substance known to man. [More…]
It is far from being the most toxic substance known to man. [More…]
I am not a Doomsday man; I am simply saying that without adequate soundings we do not know the full extent of the impurities from uranium mining operations which the river system will have to accept in flow offs. [More…]
The fate of these, and the manner and extent to which man and other biota in the environment may be subjected to them are important matters on which some information has been sought. [More…]
This information will assist in predicting the fate of any waste materials which may be added to the drainage system, and in estimating how much material could be added without serious damage to man or other biota ‘. [More…]
That in certain circumstances plutonium is very dangerous to man. [More…]
But he then states: lt is not true that plutonium never existed until man man made it. [More…]
We are all told now that this will not happen again but human beings are fallible and the things that we build are sometimes unreliable. [More…]
It also boggles at how man can go forward and endanger his own environment in this unthinking, unknowing way. [More…]
The report also stated that the desirable objective would be to gain an understanding of the region sufficient to enable any man-made changes to be detected quickly. [More…]
We will be completely unable to detect those man-made changes because we do not know what we are changing. [More…]
The man with the high-powered rifle can be a vandal in any part of the world. [More…]
1 ) Aerodrome control, one man; area control, one man: flight service, one man; rescue and fire fighting service, four men. [More…]
I simply say that I have been privileged many times in the Northern Territory to associate with senators from both sides of this chamber who, in my judgment, are dedicated to the welfare of the Aborigines. [More…]
No man I know is more greatly respected for his work with the Aborigines. [More…]
The fact of the matter is that in plain words what this means is that to the extent that man can restrict pollution around him he does so but clearly that does not meanhe does not use elements which will add marginally to pollution as we do every day of our lives. [More…]
Whilst I admit that I am not a legal man, these provisions may be necessary in accordance with constitutional rights, but if they are necessary we have to admit that the Commonwealth Government cannot protect the environment from uranium mining unless we first get a uniform code of agreement which all States will observe. [More…]
Having regard to the complex legal and social evidence which is produced before Aboriginal land rights inquiries, will the Minister consider the granting of financial assistance to, for example, chambers of commerce, tourist boards, fishing co-operatives, and private individualsthe man in the street- to enable them to put their case in the best possible manner? [More…]
If the Government is not prepared to do that- if it is not prepared to postpone these two clausesthere is only one conclusion that the Opposition and the man in the street can draw and that is that the Government is using undue haste to get this legislation into operation in order to get those mines in the Northern Territory operational. [More…]
If a man is entitled to the emoluments of that office and earns them, he is not in a position, in my opinion, to qualify justifiably for a retiring allowance as a member of parliament. [More…]
The subject of the film was to be the condition of modern industrial man. [More…]
The novel exposes and illustrates the alienation, the dehumanising effects, of the sort of work that workers in those industries do. [More…]
It seems to me and to many people who have read this Act and who have tried to understand the Minister’s answer in terms of this Act that the Minister has not addressed himself at all to section 5 of the Act. [More…]
I believe that the subject matter of the film is a matter of national interest to Australia and that a film about modern industrial man would illustrate or interpret aspects of Australia. [More…]
Why does the Minister insist in raising the straw man of commercial viability? [More…]
He presents that as if it were the only criterion involved in reaching his decision; yet clearly it would be properly only one of the many criteria which have been taken into account. [More…]
That is only one of many similar quotations which, as everyone of us knows, could be used in this chamber. [More…]
I assume that Senator Withers, who was quite prepared to defend himself in this chamber not only last week but also yesterday, as an honourable man will, in the course of this debate, present to this Parliament what he believes to be the facts. [More…]
Mr President, I ask you when reaching your decision to weigh how it will appear to the public that a man, the Leader of the Government in the Senate, can announce blandly that he may have misled the Senate and then, when an attempt is made by the Opposition to bring on a debate about that situation, by a device such as that used by Senator Missen the debate is suppressed. [More…]
It wants to see a man hamstrung. [More…]
When one looks at the impositions placed on Mr Iwasaki by the Queensland Government in the Queensland International Tourist Centre Agreement Bill one wonders why on earth the man wants to go ahead with the project, so tight are the conditions the State Government has imposed on him. [More…]
That made headlines at least throughout Queensland, until the man was told to remove the flag. [More…]
Of that 73 people there were observers from organisations such as the Chamber of Commerce, which wants to see the project go ahead; the Capricornia Tourist Association, which wants to see the project go ahead; the Livingstone Shire Council, including the Chairman, Roy Wall, which wants to see the project go ahead; and the Rockhampton Regional Promotion Bureau, which wants to see the project go ahead. [More…]
At the beginning of human history all the peoples occupied separate parts of the earth. [More…]
The black man was in one part, the white man in another, the red man in another and the yellow man in another. [More…]
It is only in recent centuries, largely due to the technology of the white man, that we have begun to mix up the races. [More…]
The black man is being used ruthlessly and mercilessly. [More…]
In other parts of the world there are successful examples of white persons having worked with black people towards self-determination, selfgovernment, self-management and self-respect for them both. [More…]
It was not formed as a policy by the white man with a view to discriminating against these people. [More…]
In fact, if anything, that legislation discriminates against the white man but it does so in a fashion that was acceptable to the white man. [More…]
In that context, in the United States scalping was not an Indian pastime; it was white man’s pastime. [More…]
The Indians adopted the idea only as a reprisal against the white man. [More…]
So much for the American Indians but similar short shrift was given to the Australian Aborigines who survived only because they could live in deserts that were of no interest at that time to the white man. [More…]
The Maoris resisted the whites but they were beaten and driven off their best lands and survived only in those parts which the white man did not want at that time. [More…]
Their capture was not merely due to the fact that the Europeans had firearms, although that fact alone indicates a difference in aptitudes and abilities between the two races, but many were captured by other negroes and sold to European and Arab slavers. [More…]
In view of this, as long as any degree of natural selection exists, the American negroes can never compete in the white man’s industrialised and technological society. [More…]
They are permanently condemned to an inferior social position in the white man’s world. [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…]
For example, although the German peoples conquered most of Europe and the lower half of Britain, the difference between the peoples has largely disappeared. [More…]
As long as the black man with his racial origins and culture is forced to compete with the white man with his racial origins and culture, the black man will be forced to the lowest level of the white man ‘s technical, industrial, dynamic, acquisitive and creative society. [More…]
That is to say, integration is a misdirected policy and is injurious to the black man. [More…]
It is the integrated society that exploits the black man. [More…]
With this difference: Every official, every teacher, every business-man in this community would be an aborigine. [More…]
Much of the latest agitation about the aborigine is stirred up by communists and other left-wingers who like to make trouble by becoming the self-appointed champions of the under-privileged black man. [More…]
The discredited theory that black and white are equal is being prosecuted only for political reasons to the detriment of the black man. [More…]
The solution would reduce mankind to chaos and misery, as shown by the experiences of Spain, Portugal and India. [More…]
The fact is that the Commission is managed by some 1 1 commissioners. [More…]
I, for one, simply say that I do not believe that a man of the quality and integrity of, shall we say, Laurie Short, would allow himself to be used or even allow himself to be in the presence of bias or any kind of corruption relating to the independence, objectivity or integrity of the Commission. [More…]
Does anyone say that a man of the immense public stature and integrity of Mr Norgard, the Chairman of the Commission is a man who lacks integrity? [More…]
Does anyone seriously say that the Chairman is a man who is deliberately provoking and contriving political bias or lack of objectivity? [More…]
I well recall one occasion when I appeared with a man whose name has been mentioned- Richard Carleton- for an interview. [More…]
It would be a good idea if all politicians who submit themselves to an interview were to bear in mind the old dictum of Harry Truman: If you cannot stand the heat keep out of the kitchen. [More…]
I would consider that to be as impertinent as asking a man whether he preferred men or women. [More…]
Does Senator Carrick seriously believe that in the case of every contract, every matter concerning any servant of the ABC, the ABC commissioners meet and decide what the man’s fate will be? [More…]
What I am suggesting is that a wink or a nod to the timorous top management of the ABC would be enough, let alone the threats of a man like Senator Withers or the implied reign of terror in threats of cuts in the Commission’s expenditure. [More…]
I refer to what was said by Mr Peter Nixon at a time when he was the caretaker PostmasterGeneral in other words, when he was the man whom the ABC might expect to be in charge of its destiny if and when he were to be something more than a caretaker. [More…]
Every now and then there is to be found among them a man of some enlightenment and Mr Staley obviously is one of them. [More…]
But unfortunately as we have discovered in the last couple of years, man proposes and God disposes, and God’s real name is Malcolm Fraser. [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…]
Of course it is reasonable for a man or woman, during the course of his or her working life to regard as one of the incentives for him or her to work the ability to accumulate some money to hand on to his or her children knowing that if the children fall upon adversity some time later on in life he or she will have left them some money to tide them over. [More…]
For example, this legislation provides that the family of a man who might happen to fly over Western Australia in an aeroplane, see a lump of iron ore and as a consequence amass a multi-million dollar fortune- one could make some comments about the personal effort involved in acquiring that sort of fortune- could on that man’s death become beneficiaries of that fortune without any portion of it coming to the Commonwealth of Australia in the form of estate or death duty. [More…]
The members of that organisation suddenly got it into their heads that the little woman should get it all without any government interference, without any death duty or estate duty being payable. [More…]
He was one of the first people to introduce this type of legislation and it is now- if I might paraphrase the Bible- more difficult for a rich man to get into Surfers Paradise because of the abolition of this legislation than it is for a camel to go through the eye of a needle. [More…]
Perhaps the Tasmanian Government will abolish them. [More…]
I am not calling him an untruthful man. [More…]
He is said to have worked as a wagoneer when young but he is a person of many legends and with his true past unknown. [More…]
In Kagoshima he is known as a man who has built up his fortune on his own, a self-made tycoon in his own right he is not associated with the Iwasaki Zaibatsu . [More…]
Iwasaki- home image- In his home Prefecture of Kagoshima he is generally known and criticised as being a cruel man’ or a man ‘who does everything for the sake of money earning’. [More…]
A similar occurrence took place at Bundaberg, where a family was evicted, and in my own city of Townsville a week or two ago an Aboriginal man was found lying injured beside the main [More…]
He refused to have anything done for the man. [More…]
My wife was able to contact a local official of the Catholic Land Rights Movement who immediately procured a vehicle, went out and picked up the elderly gentleman, and was able to obtain first aid for him. [More…]
As anyone who has ever read an economics dictionary or an elementary text book on economics should know, inelastic demand, by definition, means that a moderate increase in supply will result in a very large decline in prices. [More…]
I believe that it is most appropriate that a man such as the Prime Minister should appoint a proven fraud and charlatan such as William Vines as Director of a trust for another fraud and charlatan whose parliamentary lies were responsible, inter alia, for the deaths of 492 Australians in Vietnam. [More…]
They did not like to have to contribute to the welfare of the ordinary man in the street. [More…]
They do not lie in making a better life for the man who produces the food that we eat and who contribute to our greatest export income. [More…]
He is a man who is now disenchanted with the Liberal Party; and not for the first time. [More…]
I have said on many occasions that this chamber is only a rubber stamp when honourable senators opposite are in office and a House of frustration when they are in opposition. [More…]
They walked over a dead man’s body to gain office. [More…]
A remark was made about a man for whom I think every honourable senator has considerable regard for his capacity, for his long service to this chamber and for his courage. [More…]
I think that to attempt to belittle such an action by a man who has served in this chamber for as long as he has, with the marked distinction with which he has served in this chamber - [More…]
What I have been able to do by one means or another is to point to the fact that an unfair remark was made about a man who has made an announcement which undoubtedly will be reported. [More…]
I remind Senator Ryan that I intervened in the Senate for a young man named Berzen some year ago- I know nothing of his politics at all - because I abhorred the principle- I take it that Sentor Ryan was happy about the fact- that a university should deny a student the right to get examination results and to re-enrol because that student in conscience would not pay fees for a socio-political purpose. [More…]
Senator Thomas, being a primary producer, obviously is directing attention to one of those things for which man is not responsible. [More…]
Whilst always attentive to his own financial security he has always wanted to pose as a man who makes moderate demands on the public purse. [More…]
Do I correctly understand that the right of commutation is confined by stating that a man who has voluntarily resigned before the expiration of his term, who is deemed to be a person who has resigned for ill-health, is therefore disentitled to commute? [More…]
I would have thought that the man who was intended to be excluded, as mentioned in proposed new sub-section (1), is the person who becomes so entitled by reason that he has retired on account of ill-health. [More…]
I refer to the recent dispute at the abattoirs at Richmond in Victoria which arose because a stockman’s dog was attacked by a man with an iron bar. [More…]
I imagine that Mr Walls of the Australian Council of Local Government Associations would be the man in the best position to know the sorts of problems that local government is experiencing and the fact that it has experienced a real decline in its finances from the Federal Government over the past three years. [More…]
Imagine the Greeks without their sculptures, plays and architecture; Medieval man without his cathedrals; the Elizabethans without their poets, playwrights and musicians; Italy without its art and opera. [More…]
Beating the tax man was just good sport, and if you were able to do it you were just a plain smartie. [More…]
As has been put by high legal authority, a man cannot be punished or penalised for doing something which is lawful at the time it is done. [More…]
In those days the publican was the tax gatherer, a man despised and spurned. [More…]
Anyone who has anything to do with advising people on their rights under the existing law is said to be a bad man and someone with whom people should not have anything to do. [More…]
I am a generous man and I am prepared to give the Whitlam Government the benefit of the doubt. [More…]
We are operating a system of taxation under which the little man who runs a small business can earn $8,000 a year and, with perhaps three children to educate, may receive an income tax demand of $3,600. [More…]
The next year this person may work till 10 o’clock at night and by over extending himself may increase his income to $16,000 a year, for which he receives a demand of $9,600. [More…]
We operate a system of income tax so outrageously excessive that the Roman emperors would have come back again and, instead of damning us, would have said ‘we are disciples, we were beneficient’. [More…]
The virtuosos of the tax system applaud every individual who, with any advice, successfully can avoid the outrageously repressive taxation system that the Government is operating against the working man. [More…]
Ours is the responsibility for not bringing that section into its proper application where the manipulation of artifices within the joint stock company legislation has been demonstrated. [More…]
All sorts of wealth can be manoeuvred overnight in the boardroom to deprive the shareholder of his rightful place, to the advantage of directors. [More…]
We put through superannuation provisions designed to benefit the working man whom we called the ‘employee’, but we misguidedly allowed a director to be included in the definition of ‘ employee ‘. [More…]
Is it not within the knowledge of the Minister that many persons of part Indian or negro descent and people who are three-quarters or seven-eighths white are parading as Aborigines? [More…]
Does this not indicate that many people are sponging on the special situation which should have particular application to the full-blood Aboriginal? [More…]
Is the Minister aware that a high-ranking official in the Liberal Party of north Queensland informed me of the case of a man whose skin was whiter than his who talked about building - [More…]
After the last federal election a very prominent Australian businessman said to me that the Australian community had gone too far in giving a man, such as the present Prime Minister, a massive majority in the House of Representatives and a clear mandate in the Senate, that with three years ahead of him and with his idiosyncrasies Australians did not know what they had done to themselves. [More…]
How right was that businessman. [More…]
Secondly, they pretend that the facts, like the man on the stair, are not there. [More…]
In doing so I point out that after almost 29 years of service on this Committee and after 22 years as Chairman of the Committee, I am presenting my last report on behalf of the Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances. [More…]
At the time I joined the Committee, not being a legal man it did not seem to have any great importance. [More…]
From the Opposition side the late Senator Cohen, a man with very fine legal attainments, served on the Committee. [More…]
Former Senator Everett from Tasmania was another legal man from the Labor side who served on the Committee. [More…]
Senator Devitt who was the Deputy Chairman of the Committee and who, for the years while the Labor Government was in office, was the Chairman of the Committee was devoted to the work of the Committee. [More…]
While I was Chairman of the Committee I found him a very loyal Deputy Chairman and also when he took on the chairmanship of the Committee I was happy to serve under him as the Deputy Chairman. [More…]
I considered him to be a very fine Chairman indeed. [More…]
He was a rural man and one may think that probably committees involved with legal aspects would not be attractive to that sort of a person. [More…]
I do not want to go into detail in respect of the present members of the Committee but I am very pleased to see that Senator Missen, a legal person, is on the Committee because he also is a man with an investigating mind. [More…]
I remember going to former Senator McKenna on the Labor side who was a legal man and a very fine parliamentarian and talking to him in the same vein. [More…]
Senator Sir Reginald Wright, a man who has had such a turbulent career in the Senate, I find to be of two characters. [More…]
One of the major problems- it always will bewith urban transport is the love affair that the ordinary man has with his car. [More…]
Take away a man’s wife, if you wish, even his dog; but, heaven forbid, do not take his car. [More…]
Their requests are rejected out of hand because she, as a white lady, Mr Viner, as a white man, and Mr Fraser, as a white man, know what the blacks want. [More…]
I am ashamed of Senator Baume because he ought to be a man of more compassion but he is not. [More…]
I say to Senator Button that perhaps this is one of those times when a television view of the matter would be good, because I think that manufacturers and those who are interested in the production of any hardware, particularly electronic and optical production, together with other matters, should view this magazine which contains a list of Tasmanian manufacturers. [More…]
Perhaps if Senator Wriedt had been aware of this magazine produced by his former State Premier, a man of his own political persuasion– [More…]
If, for instance, for the first time, one were to bring into a man’s assessable tax gambling debts, where he was not carrying on a business for gambling but was indulging in a little punting on horse racing, or was investing in Tattslotto, it would, of course, be retrospective- if made to apply to a win enjoyed before the Act was enacted. [More…]
It should be subject to many more constraints. [More…]
Let me make it quite clear that I have no criticism whatsoever of the present Administrator, a man for whom I have the highest regard. [More…]
He is a man of very high principles. [More…]
To vest all power in one man really denies power in every way to the Northern Territory itself. [More…]
He was a most remarkable man. [More…]
I am pleased that Senator Kilgariff mentioned Senator Sheil because he replaced a man who held up the sitting of that Committee for six months. [More…]
If we were to adopt the one man- one vote approach and then wanted to have no more than a 10 per cent variation, what will happen in the Northern Territorythat is all we are talking about at the moment- is that we will have even more electorates than we have now. [More…]
I take great exception to the fact that a senator saw fit in this place to pass such derogatory remarks about a man whom I and many others regard as one of the finest Australians we have been fortunate enough to bring back to this country. [More…]
We expect him to be so vindictive and so personally abusive about an individual, but I am astonished that he should say these things about a man who is regarded by so many people as being a great Australian. [More…]
That statement was made by a man who remains in history as a great Australian, a sound adviser and a scientist. [More…]
I have a great regard for this man who has done so much for the industry in Australia. [More…]
Those that survived were sold to a man called Macarthur. [More…]
He is the man who, along with others, bred these sheep. [More…]
I mention these things tonight because an honourable senator saw fit the other night, when referring to the marketing of wool and expressing concern about it, to use devious means to condemn a man who has made such a contribution to the wool industry. [More…]
-Senator Georges, it is important that the man ‘s character is - [More…]
One thing that one can acknowledge about such a man as Bill Vines is that every time one sees him he has grown in stature, and one recognises that he is a greater man. [More…]
Regrettably that is not the case with many of those who criticise him. [More…]
That comment was made by the man who is now the Attorney-General, Senator Durack. [More…]
He is the man who totally exposed the conspiracy of the previous year to raise a $4,000m loan. [More…]
Senator James McClelland, the man who destroyed the Labor Party by losing his cool and putting down the Executive Council document, cannot contain himself. [More…]
He is the guilty man who exposed the whole of the Whitlam conspiracy. [More…]
He was the man who did it. [More…]
Senator James McClelland, that man who believes he is a lawyer with a social conscience, who speaks to us on human rights, does not believe in the simple,” just attitude that a’ judge is appointed to discover the facts and to draw inferences. [More…]
You are a very nice man, Senator. [More…]
If anybody is unfitted to be appointed to the bench it is Senator James McClelland, a man who makes a judgment before an inquiry is finished. [More…]
There has been a clear pattern of concealment, which of course involves Senator Withers, but I predict that Senator Withers will be perfectly safe because the only man who can deal with him is himself up to his chin in this matter- the Prime Minister of this country. [More…]
Arguments have been put forward on so many occasions that if that were to happen there would be a significant loss of income, not only to people of the west coast but also to the tax man. [More…]
Senator Wood, a man known and distinguished for his political nous, further distinguished himself as Chairman of the Senate Standing Committee on Regulations and Ordinances, a committee which has done immense service to the Parliament, the Public Service, and the people. [More…]
A founding member of the Liberal Party, Senator Wright entered the Senate in 1950, after three years as Deputy Leader of the Opposition in the Tasmanian House of Assembly. [More…]
I have always admired Senator Wright as a robust man, forthright in his views and determined in his convictions. [More…]
He has never been a man to bear rancour; he has never been a man to bear a grudge. [More…]
Western Australian and a close personal friend of many years. [More…]
He is a man with a distinguished record in the Royal Australian Air Force. [More…]
For many years he was Leader of the Country Party in this chamber and for some time he was the Acting Leader of the Government in this place. [More…]
Although our parties have undergone considerable rivalry in our home State over many years it has never, I am glad to say, affected our personal relationship since I entered the Senate. [More…]
His life was gentle, and the elements so mix’d in him, that nature might stand up, and say to all the world; this was a man . [More…]
He is a modest man. [More…]
He will be long remembered by me as one of the key people in bringing about the many developments of the Senate in recent years through his contributions to the Standing Orders Committee. [More…]
He is a man of enormous capacity and courtesy and he has my personal gratitude for his help and assistance on the Standing Orders Committee. [More…]
His knowledge of procedures and his concern for fair play was recognised by his own party, which in 1972 elected him as its Chairman, a post he occupied until only a few weeks ago. [More…]
He is still a young man and we have always recognised his obvious capacity. [More…]
He has been a fine man in this place. [More…]
As other honourable senators may not have the opportunity to speak, on behalf of my National Country Party colleagues I say to Senator Sir Reginald Wright that no man who leaves this place will be remembered as well as he when he goes to his farm in that glorious valley in Tasmania. [More…]
No man has been more independent in his views than Senator Ian Wood. [More…]
I imagine that they take pride in having followed him, and they see, from his 28 years in this chamber, that there is wisdom in having an independent mind, which is something that many of us do not have. [More…]
I come now to my two great parliamentary colleagues, Senator Tehan and Senator Drake-Brockman. [More…]
I hope that, as he is a young man, he will have the opportunity to return to this place. [More…]
Tom Drake-Brockman is our senior man, and we regret that he is leaving us. [More…]
He was the leader of our party for many years. [More…]
He has been a guide to many of us. [More…]
He has seldom erred in his judgment, as the Leader of the Government in the Senate indicated, and he has never wavered in fairness in his position of Chairman of Committees. [More…]
infectious sense of humour that can be attributed only to a Drake-Brockman from Western Australia. [More…]
He has been praised as being the ideal Chairman of Committees. [More…]
From that role, with his ability to command respect and to facilitate the work of the Senate with an easy, no nonsense approach, he leaves the Senate today as a man who has gained in stature every year that we have known him. [More…]
He is the most generous man I have ever known. [More…]
All one will have to do is to ask for the local Tasmanian tiger and the people will show you where to find him. [More…]
I have always believed that what the public appreciates in a public man is sincerity and honesty. [More…]
Senator Sir REGINALD WRIGHT (Tasmania) (1.59 a.m.)- I wish to thank those who have spoken. [More…]
To my former leader who announced that I came to this earth as an uncommon man, I say: [More…]
Of course honourable senators would not expect a man of such reconciliation purposes as myself to suggest any contention with the Executive but rather cooperation. [More…]
We should have managers here. [More…]
The managers would take part as Senate managers. [More…]
I see the lonely ones, shy on the kerb, seeking for comrades and the friendly flesh of human kind. [More…]
The shy, vain hoper in the brotherhood of man. [More…]
1 ) and (2) The honourable senator would appreciate that a considerable number of man hours would be involved in compiling this information. [More…]
This is the first occasion on which Senator Scott has been elected to the office of Chairman of Committees. [More…]
Senator Scott is an outstanding man. [More…]
Senator Scott, as the Deputy Leader of the National Country Party, brings credit on my Party and now as the Chairman of Committees he will enhance that office and maintain its traditions. [More…]
Mr President, Pope Paul was a man whose strengths and personality became clearer the longer he remained as Pope. [More…]
A great many things have been said already about this great and gentle man’s contribution to the work of the Catholic Church and the world at large. [More…]
Amongst the many events in his life there are two which were of major importance and which conveyed the real nature of the man. [More…]
Time and time again he pleaded for a Christmas truce, for negotiations for a settlement and for the humane treatment of prisoners. [More…]
It is sad when the world loses a man who is not tied by national sovereignty and who has shown a lifelong commitment to the ideal of peace in our time. [More…]
Both of those descriptions are totally unworthy of a person who was a saintly religious man and who sought the truth fearlessly. [More…]
I refer first to the famous encyclical of almost 10 years ago, Humanae Vitae’. [More…]
That encyclical which the Holy Father wrote upheld the deeply human and divine significance of the act of procreation. [More…]
He was a man who realised that in life and death issues there is no middle path. [More…]
Pope Paul was a saintly and learned man who was seeking religious and moral truth and who was attempting to gain unity. [More…]
However, notwithstanding that, I believe that at this stage patience and restraint have been used to such an extent that they are now being misinterpreted as weakness by that strange man who governs Queensland. [More…]
Sometimes I think that I am a student of human nature, but for the life of me I cannot understand that man who governs Queensland. [More…]
If it is a case of royalties versus human rights, I think that the members of this chamber in this Parliament in Canberra should be the first to rise up and say: ‘As far as we are concerned the human rights of those individuals on those settlements are absolutely paramount’. [More…]
All of us in this place make flowery speeches and proper speeches about the decimation by a madman, of human beings in Uganda, but we do not need overt acts or acts of commission to decimate a people; people can be decimated by acts of omission. [More…]
In regard to Aurukun and Mornington, that is why I have reluctantly come to the view that we have shown this man enough patience. [More…]
I believe that the consolidation of our various arms of the law in a civilian sense, as set out in each successive Budget, merits a permanent ongoing committee. [More…]
There has to be co-operation of our security arrangements because of people like the Skull, a very dangerous man, who comes in from New South Wales. [More…]
The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation has been granted a bigger budget and we will not be able to ask questions about ASIO at the Estimates committee hearings, yet nobody can tell me what the form of recruitment is and how many odd people- mentally disturbed people- ASIO seems to be conned by. [More…]
It is a very poor defence for the Minister for Transport, Mr Nixon, who himself is a very selfsatisfied and smug person and a very arrogant man, to attack Peter Morris, the shadow Minister for Transport, for drawing to his attention and to the attention of the people of Australia the state of affairs which not only is present but also is continuing to be aggravated by the Government’s policy. [More…]
When I introduced them I found that one of them had served with the 6th Division of the Australian Imperial Force and another, a much younger man, had been a conscript in Vietnam. [More…]
I know that a former illustrious member of the House of Representatives, a man named Brendan Hansen, was faced with a situation in which a Christian Brothers school at Wide Bay had to exclude pupils. [More…]
They had a man named Shaw with them. [More…]
The theme of most of the novels of Graham Greene is the consular service, and I refer honourable senators to novels such as The Quiet American, Our Man in Havana, Stanbul Train, The Honorary Consul and more recently, The Human Connection. [More…]
It is headed Canberra man tells of years in Yugoslav jail’. [More…]
I do not know the man from a bar of soap. [More…]
I suppose the man in the street on the average wage would consider it to be a rather costly exercise. [More…]
It was a very good submission by a young man who, I believe, has a future. [More…]
When former Senator Cotton was a Minister in this place he asked about the background to the report and commended the young man who prepared it. [More…]
I have been appalled to learn in talking to many young people, often well-educated, the number who have lost faith permanently in the system of parliamentary government. [More…]
I have put to many such people the idea that they have a responsibility to be on the rolls and to vote but 1 have been laughed at for my pains. [More…]
Political power, these young people say, which should rest properly and equally with the people, is in the hands of increasingly few men- now possibly, virtually in the hands of one man. [More…]
Many of these disillusioned young are, of course, no longer quite so young. [More…]
There are any number of schemes for youth, the middle aged and the family man. [More…]
The Government has left the CES in a grey area, in no man ‘s land. [More…]
A man might have a high IQ, but if he does not have muscular co-ordination he could lose a foot in his first week in the shunting yard. [More…]
Proper tests could quickly reduce as far as possible the dangers of misplacing applicants, human frailties being what they are. [More…]
I know that at times there are justifiable deportations and I have never advocated the wholesale conversion of tourists to permanent residents. [More…]
We eulogise the capacity of the employment service to find jobs for people, and I go along with 90 per cent of what is said, but if we want to create the perfect manpower system and if eight employment offices have said that nobody is offering, how is it that the message does not get through to the Minister for Immigration and his people? [More…]
This woman is faced with a difficult situation. [More…]
If the Commonwealth Police are called on Friday to escort this man off the job, where does she get an exceptionally competent mechanic to service the equipment? [More…]
I know my colleague Senator Gietzelt will agree with me tht it is in areas such as the western suburbs of Sydney, where there is a large mixture of school leavers and migrants, that there are many difficulties. [More…]
To give another illustration of our manpower policy and the fact that we do not get enough details, Firestone Aust. [More…]
Pty Ltd, which is a multinational company operating at Granville, has a classification of tyre builder on a rate fairly close to a tradesman’s wage. [More…]
A man would need a fairly good physique to maintain the tempo of output required and there is a tendency for men when they get to about 50 to feel that they have had enough of the hard work and that it is time for them to get an easier job. [More…]
I should have thought that any man with any common sense - [More…]
I think we would all agree that while man exists with a fertile mind he will play a constant game of attempting tax avoidance. [More…]
It has taken two and a half years for the true nature of the man to be revealed. [More…]
How many among the Australian community can now trust Mr Fraser? [More…]
Mr Fraser is not a man capable of providing those qualities. [More…]
It does not mean talking about integrity when one is not demonstrating integrity, nor does it mean forcing the community and the economy to fit into a pattern that reflects the narrow political philosophy of one man. [More…]
The last three years have hurt many people. [More…]
Those who are worse off are the weak and the unorganised, the poor, the retired, the small businessman and the farmer, the school leaver and the family man. [More…]
Yet it wants us to believe and it wants the people who are listening to the broadcast of the Senate tonight to believe that it has the concern of the little man only at heart. [More…]
His qualities not only as a man of principle but also as a gentleman of unfailing courtesy and tolerance in dealing with the idiosyncrasies of his fellows were widely recognised during his time in this place and nowhere more so than in his appointment as Chairman of the Labor Party Caucus, the first non-leader of the party to be so honoured. [More…]
I have seen a letter from the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs which points out, loud and clear, that a false statement had been made by this man to gain exist from Beirut. [More…]
Probably it can be claimed that this gentleman had no obligations to come clean about the fact that he was married. [More…]
Part III and Part IV of the Bill relate to the establishment of the Australian Overseas Projects Corporation Board and the appointment of a managing director- he will be a man of considerable expertise and he will be a full time appointee- and staff. [More…]
Yet in May 1977 an official of the NRC expressed his concern that ‘we are being asked to provide two man-weeks worth of safety review for a foreign reactor when our average effort to review a licence application in the United States is in excess of six man years’. [More…]
The question of how freely an individual man or woman chooses knowingly a self-destructive lifestyle raises further issues. [More…]
Yet well under I per cent of it has been cleared, settled or altered by man. [More…]
Senator McLaren should not claim to be a Labor man if he says that what happens to another human being is not our interest. [More…]
A report in the Canberra Times today stated that the workman concerned when making application for a position as a kitchenhand said: ‘I am opposed to joining a union’. [More…]
Immediately upon his stating that he was opposed to joining a union, the manager of the kitchen said: You are the ideal man’. [More…]
I do not know whether his opposition to joining a union made him an ideal man for the job or whether his experience in mixing concrete made him an ideal man for mixing cakes in Parliament House. [More…]
He became the ideal man for the position when he said that he was opposed to joining a union. [More…]
Who is this manager who decides that someone is the ideal man for the job because he will not join the union? [More…]
Mr President, I would refer you to the ruling of one of your predecessors, Sir Magnus Cormack, who, when he was President and a barman would not join the union, said: ‘The important thing is the accommodation of members and the number of employees who have to work with him’. [More…]
Sir Magnus immediately made arrangements for the termination of the employment of that man in the bar. [More…]
This man came in with a history as a building trade worker. [More…]
Therefore, whilst we know that there may be many days on which we must go hungry to take the light off the Fraser Government and its budgetary incompetence, I hope that you, Mr President, will take some action and step into this dispute. [More…]
Will you get a transcript of the Australian Broadcasting Commission’s news service last evening in which this gallant non-unionist, who is occupied in the kitchen apparently keg squatting, made the statement that he did tell Mr Dearson that he was opposed to unions and would not join, which prompted the response: ‘You are the ideal man for the position’? [More…]
The matter of this man’s attitude towards unions was not mentioned. [More…]
Is it correct that an eight man mission has been unable to obtain two second-hand Boeing 727-100 series aircraft to indulge the Prime Minister’s imperial fantasies? [More…]
I believe that there is a man on the Continent who has developed a new type of cylinder head which when installed on an ordinary engine with no other modifications can give a far better combustion of the fuel mixture and a far lower level of polluting emissions. [More…]
Often a small concern or even an individual without any outside help has been far more innovative than the big manufacturers, who have screamed about what is presently required of them. [More…]
I hope that by encouraging conservation we can put the squeeze on the major manufacturers to come up with a far better answer than they have done. [More…]
However, being more perceptive, Tasmanian farmers and their organisations some years ago saw the move of the National Country Party towards appeasing the mining lobby rather than serving the interests of rural industry. [More…]
Several years ago farmers in Tasmania and their organisations rebuffed the attempts of the National Country Party to organise in Tasmania, so much so that Mr Bill Cassimatty, a man of very considerable farming expertise and political talent in Tasmania, declined to field a National Country Party team in the last Federal election. [More…]
The creatures outside looked from pig to man and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which. [More…]
As a consequence, has the University of New South Wales moved to place Mr Farrell into bankruptcy and denied him permission to complete his studies, thereby effectively ruining the career of this young man? [More…]
I understand that the young man does not have the finances so to do and that therefore he is threatened financially and as a student by this situation. [More…]
I have asked the young man to write to me and to set out in detail what he asserts are the facts so that I can get a true understanding of the situation. [More…]
Indeed, my Government has conveyed to every State Premier its views and a request that the States themselves might, as Victoria and Western Australia have done, take action to provide for such a freedom which, after all, is inherent in the Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations Charter and which therefore ought to be acceptable to all. [More…]
-Is the Minister for Education not concerned at implications to Australian research programs of provisions in the 1978 Budget which would reduce payments to Commonwealth research grant scholars with families to little more than what a man with similar family responsibilities would receive on the dole? [More…]
Senator Carrick is a man who steps in the shoes of Senator Withers, a man who disappeared from the forefront of political life partly because he mislead this Parliament. [More…]
I wish to record my respect for the man whom I have succeeded in this place, former Senator Donald Cameron. [More…]
He is a man of great honesty and sincerity. [More…]
I am sure that I and many others will benefit from his continued advice. [More…]
But there are those other handicapped people who will also feel the clutches of the tax man unless the Government, as it has done in the case of the children and in the case of the blind, again feels some sense of conscience for what it has done and changes its mind. [More…]
That’s about $400 for every man, woman and child in the country. [More…]
Nothing would so effectually counteract the mischiefs occasioned by Mr Paine ‘s Rights of Man, as a general knowledge of the real rights of man. [More…]
What these rights are it is not my business at present to explain; but there is one right which man has generally been thought to posses, which I am confident he neither does nor can possess- [More…]
I think that the man who has caused this dispute will be branded a scab for the rest of his life. [More…]
The man interviewing him - this apparently was Mr Dearson- had replied that he looked ‘strong’ and would be the right man for the position. [More…]
Did the manager of the refreshment rooms employ this man because of his qualifications for fighting unions? [More…]
In view of what Senator Cavanagh has revealed tonight I do not think this man has any conscientious beliefs as far as joining a union is concerned. [More…]
Mr President I am concerned that you and Mr Speaker have agreed that this man should be stood down with pay. [More…]
I ask: Was this man deliberately employed to provoke a strike in the kitchen? [More…]
Regardless of whether Mr Dearson has denied that the person who was to be engaged as a kitchen hand had informed him that he was involved in this type of court action- that he was anti-union, a self-employed man, a sub-contractor who perhaps was not entitled to unemployment benefit under the Social Services Act- this person was able to get the appointment. [More…]
I would like to know whether any other applicants were available through the Commonwealth Employment Service to carry out this job, particularly in view of the fact that this man was notoriously an antiunion person. [More…]
Mr President, I would also like to know whether at any time there was any consultation as to whether any experienced kitchen hands were available as an alternative to this man who obviously- there was no alternative- would cause industrial disputation on his engagement. [More…]
Was the selection of this man made and information purposely withheld from any other person, particularly yourself, Mr President, your cochairman, or the Joint House Committee? [More…]
If so, why, in view of the fact that this dispute was likely to occur, was it withheld from you, your co-chairman and the Joint House Committee? [More…]
It is very serious and I hope that it will be a lesson that the officers of the Joint House Department are not just ordinary employers in the sense that they can throw their weight about and perhaps get in their own little pet idea that they can have a non-union man to show their own contempt of unionism; but that they have also to consider the smooth running of this Parliament. [More…]
As I said before, he is a man well qualified in the beef industry. [More…]
I believe that the advice of such a man should be heeded. [More…]
Many of the State parliaments had restrictive laws. [More…]
I believe that in my State a Chinese man could not work in a factory after 2 o’clock on Saturdays. [More…]
I must say that there was no man with whom, or for whom, I have worked of whom I was more frightened than Captain E. P. Thomas, but I woke him up, handed him the signals, which he took calmly and meekly enough, and then presumably- for I know what went on in the houses of frightening captains- went back to bed. [More…]
Astute observers of the Australian political scene have noted for some time that the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) is a very subjective man. [More…]
Because of this man’s subjectivity and his dominance of the Government we find that the superphosphate bounty not only is continued at the pre-existing rate but also is enacted for five years and that the nitrogen bounty is reduced and continued on a year by year basis only. [More…]
The Minister, obviously a very practical man, gave a very practical answer. [More…]
He is a first-class man and has served this Government and this country very well. [More…]
The direct result of that union action was to put 650 unionists out of work and cause the loss of about 100,000 man days. [More…]
I could give many more examples but time is against me. [More…]
I believe that it is most appropriate that a man such as the Prime Minister should appoint a proven fraud and charlatan such as Sir William Vines . [More…]
When Senator Walsh condemns a man of the character, honesty, and drive of Sir William who has made such a contribution to the wool industry in this country, who gave up other positions where from a remunerative point of view he could have done far better and saw fit to return to Australia to take up the challenge and help the wool industry, is it any wonder that Senator Walsh turns deaf ears to responsible bodies such as the Australian Wool Industry Conference? [More…]
He was a man who was closely associated with the industry and with research into the industry and who fully understood the industry. [More…]
CSIRO ‘s new Chairman as from next Monday, 25 September, will be Dr J. Paul Wild. [More…]
He was the man who led the CSIRO research team which in collaboration with the Australian Department of Transport took the InterScan microwave aircraft landing guidance system to the world aviation authority. [More…]
Let me quote three of the many examples that have been brought to my attention in recent weeks. [More…]
When the young woman’s father approached her employer in a civil manner for some recompense for his daughter he was abused and thrown out and his daughter likewise was abused and her employment terminated. [More…]
Another case involved a young man who was placed in the motor trade. [More…]
His employer adopted the attitude that the young man was lucky as he had been given a job. [More…]
Yet another case involved a young man on a dairy farm who worked long hours with no payment for overtime. [More…]
As a young single man, part of both the credit and the sexual revolutions, I have no comment to make upon the first two propositions, let alone admit whether either of them has ever passed my lips. [More…]
But I cannot let the third proposition go without comment for I would strongly want to assert that in fact there is no purpose for government other than that of helping people, protecting and encouraging individuals and creating the atmosphere within which that spark of genius, present within every man, is able to burst into flame. [More…]
But his unbiased opinion, his mature judgment, his enlightenment and conscience, he ought not to sacrifice to you or to any man, or to any set of men living. [More…]
Other great works of Liberalism have been the removal of the religious disabilities of nonconformists and Roman Catholics and the abolition of the laws against trades unionism. [More…]
Liberalism, but also of one man one vote . [More…]
These are the real freedoms, for these are of the essence of the nature of man. [More…]
Man has always been a technological creature from the first Neanderthal toolmaker on, and every technological device contains some inherent power to dehumanise if we let it. [More…]
As a species we have always managed to cope with technological change, but today’s pace of change has accelerated beyond the pace of our comprehension. [More…]
And ultimately, behind the computer there must be a man. [More…]
The Telecom dispute need not have happened had a pigheaded management understood that there are inherent risks in putting machines before men and profits before people. [More…]
What man would be a man if he did not defend himself against such a threat? [More…]
Nevertheless it must be recognised that all the science and technology in the world will not solve the fundamental problems of our society- problems which are essentially ones of human relationships and ones which demand human solutions. [More…]
I did not think I would ever stand up in this place after listening to a speech in which so many illustrious people were quoted. [More…]
I feel that we have in our midst a young man who, if he is encouraged by his party, can make a very worthwhile contribution to this Senate, and will enhance it. [More…]
Not only is it to increase taxation, but also the Government has done something that very few governments since Federation, certainly none for many years, have done. [More…]
Let us examine what the proposed taxation increase means to the average working man. [More…]
I am an old railway man as are my colleagues, Senator Bishop and Senator Mulvihill- the salt of the earth. [More…]
There were many occasions when due to the administration of the department railwaymen were not allowed to take their annual leave on account of staff shortages or some other consideration that arose unexpectedly. [More…]
These people have written to me personally knowing that in my early career I was a railway man. [More…]
Stanley Melbourne Bruce felt that we did not have the brains in this country to get ourselves out of our difficulties and invited help from the authorities in England who sent out a man from the Bank of England, Sir Otto Niemeyer. [More…]
In the 1940s things changed dramatically when a man called Tom Playford became the Premier of South Australia. [More…]
He could be described as a man of vision, great integrity and total dedication. [More…]
In my view, the greatest crime we can commit, as senators, as members of parliament- no, as ordinary human beings- is, when we die, through acts of omission or commission to leave this world this country, the city in which we live, a poorer, less happy or less safe place for our children. [More…]
To put into context my claim that the problems of the world and of Australia in particular cannot be solved unless we have a totally different approach- a new system- I shall quote what was said by a man whose mind I admire probably more than the mind of anyone else in the world today. [More…]
The situation prevailing today is without precedent in history in as much as prior to today the destructive potential of man has been confined to limited areas and limited populations whereas today it embraces the entire planet. [More…]
The shrinking of the planet relative to the travelling speed of missiles and man was paralled by a simultaneous contraction of the available living space and food resources relates to population size. [More…]
This, from the man with probably the greatest mind in the world today, frightens the hell out of me: [More…]
In view of man’s emotional immaturity compared to his technological achievements the problem of his selfinduced extinction was now almost a statistical certainty. [More…]
Where would they be if another man of good will had not joined them as the honest broker? [More…]
Like many other senators, I have been to the Middle East many times. [More…]
How many times have we been there in past years and heard people say that the problems are intractable, insoluble; that it will be Armageddon, the finish; that the only solution is total war? [More…]
I refer in that context to the statement of Tony Street, a man of impeccable honesty, and, since learning that his statement was not referred to Cabinet, a man of great courage. [More…]
I wonder whether in a free society we can say to a man 40 years of age with children of, say, 10 years and 14 years attending the local school, a man active in community affairs: ‘ You are going to be uprooted and sent to another State’. [More…]
What does that man do in the situation? [More…]
It would be very nice to manufacture all of one commodity in one State. [More…]
We in this country are now again, slowly, becoming aware of the fact that our Aborigines were not the Stone Age primitives that many Australians traditionally considered them to be. [More…]
Before white man came here they had a very sophisticated culture, a very sophisticated and intricate religion, and their relationship with the land and the way they lived was a highly successful civilisation. [More…]
The first chairman of that Council was Mr Silas Roberts. [More…]
Silas Roberts is an Aboriginal gentleman of the highest calibre. [More…]
He is a very fine upstanding gentleman. [More…]
He is a married man with a family and a man steeped in his own traditions and culture. [More…]
Because of undue pressure from various quarters Mr Roberts felt that he could not carry on as chairman of the Northern Land Council. [More…]
He resigned from it and another man was appointed to that job. [More…]
The man who was appointed and who is the current chairman is Mr Galarrwuy Yunupingu. [More…]
He was elected by his own people to do the job as chairman of that Land Council. [More…]
As we know, he is another fine upstanding Aboriginal gentleman who through his own efforts and his own initiative has got where he is today. [More…]
He is one of the most prominent Aborigines in the whole of Australia today not only because he is chairman of the Northern Land Council but also because of the way he has conducted himself, the way he has endeavoured to bring about solutions to the problems of land rights and the way he has handled the problems of his people in the Northern Territory. [More…]
He is a young man- I would say that he is not even 30 years of age yet- who has had a tremendous responsibility placed on him. [More…]
Pressure from all quarters has come upon this young man. [More…]
How the young man has stood up to all these pressures and accepted his responsibilities are things of which we as Australians, and particularly we in this Senate, should be very proud. [More…]
Who is trying to destroy this young man who has become the leader of Aborigines throughout this Commonwealth? [More…]
He has done a tremendous job, but somewhere, somehow I believe there is an undercurrent against him and people are trying to destroy and to bring discredit on this young man. [More…]
If these people destroy this young man’s credibility then they will destroy the credibility of Aborigines in their fight for what I believe they are rightly and justly entitled to, and that is their land rights. [More…]
This young man, Galarrwuy Yunupingu, has done so much and has followed the legislation right through in every sense of the word. [More…]
I have sat with this young man in an office in Darwin surrounded by telephones, typists and other people working, solicitors and everybody else racing around, but I have also been able to sit with this young man in his own tribal area amongst his own tribal elders and see how he can go from one environment to another. [More…]
I believe that anything that we can say in praise of this young man is warranted. [More…]
I come back to this question: Why are people trying to destroy the credibility of this young man, and who are they? [More…]
I believe the answer is that they are trying to destroy the credibility of this young man because there are people who have found at last that here is a young man who is not pliable or manoeuvrable. [More…]
They cannot manipulate him. [More…]
I believe that we should be looking at this situation much more closely to determine whose idea it is to discredit and destroy one of the finest Australians in Australia today, a man who has done so much to bring about a solution to the problems in the Northern Territory and at the same time protect the rights of his people and preserve their culture, which is as rich as any culture in the world. [More…]
The Minister is as concerned as I am because he also believes that there are some forces at work to destroy this young man. [More…]
After speaking with the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) and the Minister for the Aboriginal Affairs today, I believe that the Government will not let this happen; it will not let this young man be destroyed. [More…]
That letter prompted a response from a man for whom I have great admiration after having read both of his letters in the Queanbeyan Age. [More…]
As I said earlier the writer is affectionately known in Captains Flat as a great worker, a great trade unionist in days gone by fighting for the conditions of the working man. [More…]
I want to place on record my great appreciation for a man who has the courage to write to a newspaper in condemnation of people who are not prepared to pay their union dues, but who are first in line when the pay and conditions are handed out. [More…]
Ray Fuge is a man of great expertise in the poultry industry. [More…]
I do not intend to canvass all the matters that I raised on 2 1 September, but I want to reiterate my concern about what I still believe could be happening to the Chairman of the Northern Land Council. [More…]
I indicated that I felt that some persons were endeavouring to discredit this young man, to destroy his credibility in relation to his position as Chairman of the Northern Land Council. [More…]
I have seen so many young Aboriginal men in particular and women as well who have lifted their heads above the crowd, have taken responsibility and have started to raise their voices on behalf of their own people. [More…]
We find that because of the kinds of pressures that are brought to bear upon them, with people trying to manipulate them for their own political aims or whatever, they are forced to retreat from the positions they have held. [More…]
In particular, I am concerned about this young man for whom I believe we would all have a great respect and admiration. [More…]
As I said on Thursday night, this young man has not yet reached the age of 30 years, but he has come forward and accepted responsibility. [More…]
Then there will be a getting together of the Chairman of the Northern Land Council, who will speak on behalf of his people, and the representatives of the Government. [More…]
I submit that we do- the ordinary man in the street; the citizen; the taxpayer. [More…]
It is a transfer payment from the average taxpayer, frequently a young married man with a family, to enable an employer to pay a young teenager more than the employer thinks he is worth, and it occurs at a time when that teenager has more money to spend on himself than he will have for most of the rest of his life. [More…]
We must dismantle this whole rickety structure of penalty rates if we want our service industries to expand, as expand they must. [More…]
To modify a remark made by a previous Labor Treasurer, one man’s penalty rates deprives another person of the chance of a job [More…]
It is not enough to say: ‘All right, this one architect can be the man to plan for Aboriginal people’. [More…]
After all, there have been experts in designing schools in the Department of Construction for many years. [More…]
However, like many of the people in the apple industry, I am very concerned that the Tasmanian apple industry may have to bear a disproportionate part of the cost of changed redundancy arrangements for Australia waterside labour. [More…]
I understand that an additional charge of $3 a man hour will be made for the redundancy levy. [More…]
The exercise became a reality only because the Australia to Europe Shipping Conference was prepared to meet part of the cost of bringing empty refrigerated containers to Tasmania for returning loaded to Melbourne and thence for shipment to Europe. [More…]
The Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) reappointed that man to the Ministry after he had said that. [More…]
In fact the blame originally lies with those people who bullied that man all the way through that interview. [More…]
Pressure from all quarters has come upon this young man. [More…]
How the young man has stood up to all these pressures and accepted his responsibilities are things of which we as Australians, and particularly we in this Senate, should be very proud. [More…]
I think that if he is to stand up to be counted publicly he has to criticise members of his own party, as I have done on many occasions, as well as his political opponents. [More…]
Who is trying to destroy this young man who has become the leader of Aborigines throughout this Commonwealth? [More…]
This man and his brother, incidentally, spent the great part of today in my office in Brisbane seeking work out of that office, not only in Brisbane but also in certain country areas of [More…]
This man and his brother are quite willing to obtain work. [More…]
I am informed that when this man came to my office today his dress was rather unusual but not unacceptable. [More…]
But let me say that this man’s dress was different from normal today but according to the report that was given to me it was not unacceptable. [More…]
Apparently, this is the type of dress that the man was wearing when he went to the Commonwealth Employment Service at Redcliffe. [More…]
This man has said: ‘Because of what I think of the Commonwealth Employment Service at Redcliffe, I am not going back there to discuss it with him and therefore, seeing I am not going to discuss it with him, I am not going to appeal to the Social Security Appeals Tribunal ‘. [More…]
My advice to this man will be to appeal to the Social Security Appeals Tribunal, even if he does not want to discuss it with the officer in charge at Redcliffe. [More…]
I have talked to the National Aboriginal Conference representative in the area today and tonight and I have talked to the man who did all the negotiating. [More…]
A great furore arose at the time of the Budget about the disbandment of the Aboriginal housing panel, and I am told that an assurance was given that the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (Mr Viner) was a very honourable man and would make sure that people were not deprived of wages. [More…]
It was said that the Prime Minister was a tough man who was going to fix up all these things. [More…]
Further on in the newspaper there was a comment by a man who would have been the Treasurer in the Northern Territory had he not had the misfortune to lose his seat to an excellent Labor candidate. [More…]
Until recently one talks man was available to do all the programs, including the rural programs. [More…]
Mr Duckmanton replied to my request in these terms: [More…]
Now we have a situation in which a post-graduate scholar with a familysome 40 per cent of such scholars are married- is earning very little more than a man with similar family responsibilities who is on the dole. [More…]
I predict that they have now been reduced to the stage where many of them will have no option but to get out of that research work and seek full time jobs which, in view of the high intellectual calibre of most of them, being post-graduate people, they will probably get easily enough. [More…]
He has now admitted that in public because he was forced to do so by the man he put in the saddle as the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations. [More…]
1 had people come to me after the election and say: ‘We voted for this man. [More…]
They replaced him with another man. [More…]
What will happen now is that interest rates will come down and that will be most beneficial to the man in the street. [More…]
When I refer to team work I mean that the effort has to be made not only by the Government but also by the Opposition, the unions, the man in the street, the employer and employee. [More…]
Do they wish to retain their dog-in-the-manger attitude and say: ‘To hell with everybody else. [More…]
Reference was made to the fact that Mr Aper had been told that he was the right man for the job. [More…]
I am advised that Mr Aper was told that he was the right man for the job because he had labouring experience of the kind that made him suitable for hard work in a kitchen and that no other interpretation is justified. [More…]
He was engaged because in physique he was suited to the job, because he had had some experience of kitchens, and because he was a married man with a family. [More…]
Does it mean a man with a big strong physique? [More…]
-I do know that there are many people engaged on labouring in the kitchen who do not reach the standard of Mr Aper. [More…]
If lifting bins is involved, then I think we do a disservice in giving such a heavy manual job to a married man with a family. [More…]
I would like to know how many applicants for the job had the physique necessary to fill the requirements, as well as the other essential qualifications, and how many of the people who had competing claims for the job were married men with families. [More…]
It would appear that this man is one who handles the truth very carelessly. [More…]
So he again proves that he is a man who cannot be trusted with handling the truth very carefully. [More…]
The other matter, Mr President, of which you are aware, is that the Joint House Department had this man come into work even though he had been stood down. [More…]
There again, Mr President, you are antagonising the staff down there with this man coming in. [More…]
We have a man who was deliberately setting out to cause trouble at Parliament House and it should not happen. [More…]
I hope that the Joint House Department will take some action, in view of this man’s actions, to see that the staff of this Parliament are paid for those two days. [More…]
There is no doubt about it, Mr President, they were deliberately set up by the Joint House Department’s engaging a man of the calibre of this Aper. [More…]
This man is provoking other members of the staff at a time when there is a certain amount of unease and when there are many outstanding matters which should be straightened out. [More…]
If the information given to me about this man is correct, this matter should be dealt with very promptly. [More…]
I have known him for many years. [More…]
He is a man gifted with a degree of smooth speech which I do not have and which I envy. [More…]
But I do say this: He is a man who will play the role of the Commonwealth Government at that particular conference and that is why I am concerned about the type of thing he has been talking about over the last few months. [More…]
I said that I felt that the proper person in that context, not only because of the speech that he made in the House of Representatives, which was a realistic and appreciative speech, but also because of his long history and background in this area, was the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations, Mr Street- a senior Government Minister and the Minister who has been regarded until recently as the right-hand man of the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser). [More…]
If that is Mr Macphee ‘s answer to the social nature of the employment problem- that there has to be more job-sharing and more permanent part-time employment- he is whistling in the dark. [More…]
Next week I am going back to Tasmania and I am going out to the factories and the shops. [More…]
I will say to the workers there: ‘Oh, this man, Mr Macphee, has said that one of the ways you are going to overcome unemployment in Australia is to do a bit of job sharing. [More…]
Honourable senators can draw the appropriate conclusions from the following facts: In Tasmania in 1975-76, of 821 convictions for marihuana use 111 convictions were recorded against labourers and 288 convictions were recorded against unemployed persons. [More…]
It would be a brave man who would claim that 50 per cent of the users in Tasmania belonged to those two categories of persons. [More…]
Then we got another example of Senator Harradine ‘s tactics when Senator Puplick had the temerity to express his views in this place tonight and quoted John Stuart Mill, hardly the most radical man ever on this earth. [More…]
I warn Senator Puplick, not that it will worry him at all, and Senator Tate that anyone who rises in this place and gives a view which slightly deviates from the rather rigid views that Senator Harradine has of the world will be abused in the manner that Senator Puplick was abused by way of interjection. [More…]
In that lies a very human tragedy, that of a man chosen for his Church’s highest office but who almost in the same hour was taken from it. [More…]
Pope John Paul was a humble man who came from a poor family. [More…]
Pope John Paul combined an unassuming manner with infectious good humour. [More…]
He was a man of decision tempered by good-humoured tolerance, a man of austerity but with considerable personal charm, a literate man but one able to communicate simply and directly with all peoples. [More…]
His untimely death will be a loss to both his church and to mankind. [More…]
All the portents were that Cardinal Luciani would become a great spiritual man whose dedication and insights would enable him to lead the Catholic Church in an extremely difficult time in world affairs. [More…]
I am sure that we all hope that a man of the same qualities and with the same commitment will replace this great man. [More…]
Your Petitioners most humbly pray that the Senate, in Parliament assembled, should ensuure that the promise made by the Prime Minister be fulfilled, that we may once again believe, that a man’s word is his bond. [More…]
Every man, woman and child in this country is being mortgaged by the Fraser Government to these massive repayments of overseas capital as a direct result of Mr Fraser ‘s policies. [More…]
I think it was because Mr David Ogilvy, the Madison Avenue advertising man who, I think, is President of the World Wildlife Fund-the Duke of Edinburgh may be President but Mr Ogilvy is high up in the hierachy- came here earlier this year and had lunch with the Prime Minister. [More…]
Not only are they dishonest, not only are they broken promises and desperate acts, not only do they reveal the Prime Minister as a man who thinks he is being consistent and strong when in fact he is being just dishonest, but they shift the burden of taxation measures and they are grossly inequitable. [More…]
In 1979 we have a tax threshold of $5,676 for a man with a dependent wife. [More…]
So low income earners and those who are dependent on social security payments and benefits of that nature, the people for whom Senator McLaren properly expressed concern, who have an income below $5,676 for man and wife pay no tax at all. [More…]
The precise example given was a man who retired at the beginning of the financial year and received his money. [More…]
His treatment at the hands of the South African security police, as later reported in coroner’s proceedings, demonstrated a callous and brutal disregard, not only for the man himself but for the principles of moderation for which he stood. [More…]
I imagine that the honourable senator will have noted from the newspapers in the last day or so that the man who alerted the world to the tragedy of thalidomide, Dr McBride, has now concluded an independent series of tests on the effect of feeding 2,4,5-T to rabbits and mice. [More…]
If you are in real trouble- I don’t mean just like the drinking charge I read about a few months back, but something that your own people can’t help with- something which might be helped by a white man interested in hearing blackfeller secrets if they want to tell him and willing to tell whitefeller secrets if people want to hear them- then I would like you to think of me as a former family doctor who had a large following of Aboriginal patients years ago, who took time to explain things to them and who would like to be thought of as your friend whether our politics is the same or not. [More…]
I refer to the situation of a man with a wife and two children and give figures for the past five years. [More…]
In 1974, a man with a wife and two children received under Commonwealth post-graduate awards some $3,986; in 1975, some $4,394; in 1976, some $4,758; and in 1977-the first impact of the Fraser Government- some $6,288. [More…]
As I see it, the Commissioner of Taxation will tax the man on his accrued annual leave at the rate of 33i per cent. [More…]
Yet to a man they are saying that they will support it. [More…]
I cannot understand how any man under extreme pressure would not need, for physical and mental reasons, at least some break during a year. [More…]
I am sure that the man who makes it happen in Victoria would love to hear one of his senior Senate colleagues say: ‘If you lose Ballarat it doesn’t matter’. [More…]
I do not intend to let the matter rest where it is, and intend to raise the matter in the Senate if I do not receive a satisfactory explanation of this situation, and am informed that justice will now be done to this man, preferably by the re-opening of the appointments. [More…]
I have endeavoured to find out why this man, who appears to be the only Aboriginal in the particular field with the qualifications, was not appointed; how statements were made that he was out of the country: how letters were sent to him which took five weeks to arrive and which were dated before the appointments were even made; and why I cannot get hold of a copy of the letter alleged to have been sent to him, and nor can the other people concerned. [More…]
I think it was properly described by the Leader of the Opposition, Mr Hayden, as a caring letter from a caring man. [More…]
I have always given Senator Bonner more credit than to have become involved in this rather underhand manner. [More…]
It is of no use saying that he was not at the meeting because Mr Bishaw- I will have more to say about him shortly- was the man who drove him to the meeting room. [More…]
Again it is a matter of using another black man for the sake of mining uranium; nothing else. [More…]
If you are in real trouble- I don’t mean just like the drinking charge I read about a few months back, but something that your own people can’t help with- something which might be helped by a white man interested in hearing blackfeller secrets if they want to tell him and willing to tell whitefeller secrets if people want to hear them- then I would like you to think of me as a former family doctor who had a large following of Aboriginal patients years ago, who took time to explain things to them and who would like to be thought of as your friend whether our politics is the same or not. [More…]
We saw Senator Bonner, a man who in the Aurukun and Mornington Island situations put up a strong stand. [More…]
The Government has used that black man’s signature so it can sell out this country to the uranium miners. [More…]
I am amazed, frightened and worried that the Government is using prominent Aboriginal leaders in this country and is prostituting them, manipulating them and misusing them, including Senator Bonner who had no right to be at the Northern Land Council meeting. [More…]
Mr Bishaw is the man who drove him to the meeting place. [More…]
That is exactly what they are doing in the Northern Territory, led by none other than a man who was mentioned in the Senate tonight by Senator Keeffe. [More…]
As I said in the beginning, I went there because a young man asked me to go to discuss with him a number of issues that concerned him. [More…]
The kinds of issues that concerned him were his role as Chairman of the Northern Land Council, the kind of criticism that he was receiving and Government attitudes. [More…]
He wanted me to discuss with him the land rights Bill and many of its clauses because he was a little concerned about the steps that the Northern Land Council was taking. [More…]
He knew that, as always, the white man has the last say. [More…]
The white man has the last say over Aboriginal land rights because the Government has the power to either put in an arbitrator or use the national interest clause. [More…]
We saw Senator Bonner, a man who in the Aurukun and Mornington Island situation put up a strong stand. [More…]
This is from a government led by a man who in 1974, as Shadow Minister for Labour, said that unemployment benefit payments should be increased as unemployment rises, who said that unemployment benefit payments should be increased to the level of the minimum wage as unemployment increases and who then showed an apparent concern for the unemployed. [More…]
Let us consider the situation with the ordinary man in the street with a dependent spouse, the ordinary Medibank levy payer who did not want to insure privately for health benefits or who was not financial enough to insure privately. [More…]
I do not know the figures for States other than Tasmania, but in Tasmania the cost of coverage for 75 per cent of the doctors scheduled fee is $1.27 a week. [More…]
But the man on the higher income will certainly not be better off. [More…]
When this Bill becomes law a woman will know, and everybody acquainted with her will know, that there is 5 awaiting her. [More…]
The butcher, the baker, the tinker, the tailor, the medical man, and others, will all remember that there is 5 about, and although the money is not in their hands, the credit will be good. [More…]
One has to question just how many honourable members there are in the Government. [More…]
There are not too many members of the Government who can make that same statement. [More…]
Not many voices opposite have been openly raised in opposition to this move on the part of the Government. [More…]
How can the people trust a man who in March 1977 said: ‘We are committed to take politics out of pension increases by giving automatic increases in line with price rises twice a year’? [More…]
It disappoints me when a man of courage like Senator Bonner says: ‘I disagree with this; this is a betrayal of what the Government promised’ but then he does not vote. [More…]
I had the great honour to be chairman of the Liberal-Country parties social services backbench committee, a member of the Executive when we were in the Opposition and the shadow Minister for Social Security. [More…]
This is the case that this man has put forward. [More…]
He has approached many members of Parliament personally. [More…]
This man has asked me to ask four questions and I hope that the Government will give an answer to them. [More…]
The first question is: Will the Minister state whether the withdrawal of the health benefit card to war pensioners on 90 per cent disability is to remain of a permanent nature especially for veterans in the 70 years of age and over category whose only source of income is the pension? [More…]
Pancake Man- Woden Plaza [More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Post and Telecommunications whether last Friday and Saturday the Australian Broadcasting Commission radio and television news programs ran an interview with a man who was said to be the leader of the Ku Klux Klan in Australia? [More…]
Is it true that the man was not identified? [More…]
Did the ABC give the man an undertaking not to identify him? [More…]
Will the Minister ask his colleague, the Minister for Post and Telecommunications, to confer with the General Manager of the ABC to ensure that practitioners of hatred in this country are not allowed to peddle their poison on news programs cloaked by a hood and anonymity? [More…]
Through scientific research man gains a deeper understanding of the world around him, through technology he employs this knowledge to use natural resources to achieve his own ends. [More…]
I do not think we can have faith in one man at the bench, following his own interests, necessarily working towards goals which we see as nationally important or desirable, goals which might have very important effects on employment opportunity or other matters such as that. [More…]
Other recommendations were made by Birch in relation to one of the three permanent members having a commercial background. [More…]
Again, we had to assess what was meant by that, whether it meant a person having qualifications in the commerce area, such as accounting qualifications or a degree in commerce, or whether it meant a very good commerce man from industry. [More…]
1 have suspicions but, being a very just man, I will not name the travel agency. [More…]
Also another legal man named Kaiser William Simpson was involved. [More…]
I leave the matter on the basis that we will get some restitution for the man who has been done out of his $500. [More…]
I recall Marius Webb as a very likable man, a man of great creative capacity and of unique character. [More…]
I have a gut feeling about it all and I think many Australians have a gut feeling about it all. [More…]
Certainly, that is so if my mail is a reflection of what many people in the community think about the ABC now as distinct from a few years ago. [More…]
Of course, there are still many programs of which we can justifiably be proud, as I said earlier. [More…]
It might be described as a thinking man’s program and, because of that description, the program is offensive to the Government. [More…]
1 would like to warn any family man who is thinking of not taking out medical insurance for his family that perhaps just one visit to a general practitioner could reveal an illness that might require several visits to the doctor, X-ray treatment, pathology treatment and, finally, a consultation with a specialist. [More…]
Contrary to what the shadow Minister for Health in the other place, Dr Klugman, suggested, I encourage everyone not to gamble. [More…]
It was a cry which even today is applicable to my people and one which demands to be answered in this very chamber today. [More…]
Those prophetic words were not delivered from the pulpit, or from any public forum, but from the very source itself- the steps of a white man’s much vaunted hall of justice, after Namatjira had felt the cruel barbs of his white brother’s brand of justice. [More…]
I leave honourable senators to ponder a statement made by an unknown Aborigine man: [More…]
The Bible says God made us in his own image and likeness, but the white man tries to make us in his image and likeness. [More…]
Again it will be the small family man and the single person who will have to pay the bulk of the new taxation increases. [More…]
A family man who is getting almost double that- $300 a week- will pay only 5.6 per cent extra in tax. [More…]
The other criticism to which I want to refer- I think that it is most unfair- relates to the delegation of three people who have gone overseas to publicise the manner in which Aborigines are treated in Queensland. [More…]
There was criticism of Mick Miller, who is a very articulate man, who is able to present himself very well in all sections of the media and who, quite frankly, has frightened the wits out of some of the DAIA people in Queensland; of Mrs Joyce Hall who is a very gentle lady; and of the third member of the delegation who also comes from Aurukun and who is a very moderate type of man. [More…]
Obviously the man is at Villawood. [More…]
Although 50 people have signed this letter there is no indication to me as to who is the chief spokesman. [More…]
This young man has been a member of the staff for a period of one year and 10 months, acting out the duties of wardsman, for which he has shown a rare combination of reliability and devotion to duty. [More…]
Patients of this hospital have come to know Sydney as a thoughtful, considerate man with their interests at heart always. [More…]
In this case I refer to a man of western Pacific origin- an employee of the Maritime Services Board of New South Wales and member of the Seamen’s Unionwho is seeking to have his 81 -year-old mother join him in Australia. [More…]
The late President Truman referred to where the buck stops but I do not think that it even gets started in Suva. [More…]
The other member is Mr Schubert, who is the Co-ordinator-General of Public Works in Queensland and who is also a particularly eminent man in this field. [More…]
Where else does man have access to a myriad of information on life- information on history, culture, art, science, religion, world affairs. [More…]
What other single institution can provide this kind of impetus to uplift the human spirit and advance the cause of man. [More…]
A part of the price of reducing unemployment from the present unacceptably high levels is to encourage, by appropriate quotas and other measures, protection to manufacturing industry. [More…]
Manufacturers in this country do not ask for 100 per cent of the market, but what they do seek is that their market share will not be continuously eroded. [More…]
With capital investment costs increased because of inflation and a fall in share of the market due to the impact of imports, I ask from the manufacturer’s point of view: Is there any justifiable reason why investment decisions should not be pruned or placed under close surveillance? [More…]
Industry needs to be assured that provided it is reasonably efficient in terms of output per man hour, there is a reasonable expectation for it to have an agreed share of the Australian market, whether it be 30 per cent, 50 per cent or 80 per cent, depending on the government’s philosophy, which in turn is an expression of its own political priorities. [More…]
Manufacturing industry provides for a diversity of employment opportunities and a fulfilment of educational training by applying high technical skills to the practical needs of business. [More…]
I wish to express my appreciation for the help of my friends, for the support of the Party, for the wisdom of Senator Rae and, for the guidance of Kevin Newman. [More…]
I also want to thank Don Wing, State President of the Liberal Party in Tasmania. [More…]
Not only has he been a personal friend from school days; he is a man of integrity. [More…]
I have taken the opportunity of conferring with an extremely dedicated public servant- a man I know to be well known to a former and very successful Labor Minister, Senator Douglas McClelland. [More…]
The point I am getting at is that I do not believe governments should hide behind senior officers especially an extremely dedicated man like Mr Prowse. [More…]
A man in Whitehall in London during the Second World War was looking for the Admiralty Office. [More…]
When I was talking earlier about strategic policy and the central nature of our strategic policy to our Defence Force and our defence preparations, I did not make the point then but I would like to make it now that when one looks at who is responsible for strategic policy one goes down through four layers of public servants- Secretary, Deputy Secretary, First Assistant Secretary, Assistant Secretary- before one reaches the first professional service man. [More…]
It is desirable that for a man in defence headquarters who is a sailor he should go to sea sometimes; if he is a soldier he should see some other soldiers: and if he is an airman he should fly. [More…]
It is commanded by a captain. [More…]
HMAS Melbourne is commanded by a commodore. [More…]
The Americans have a senior officer, one commander. [More…]
We have one captain and four commanders on board. [More…]
I said that not for the Liberal Party, not for the Liberal-National Country Party Government and not for any man that I know would I make a shipwreck of my conscience on matters such as this. [More…]
The confusion that is apparent in both legal and moral terms means quite simply that each of us must make his decision for himself, being as best informed as he can be, and bring into that decision, I believe, as much humanity, sympathy and understanding as it is possible for him to muster. [More…]
Having done those things, my position is clear and I shall be voting in the manner indicated. [More…]
-If Senator Walters could give me the names of those men I believe that a certain institution has a thousand dollars first prize for every man in this country who has ever had a baby or who has ever become pregnant. [More…]
I recognise readily that a woman in circumstances of not wanting to have a child has a right to freedom of choice. [More…]
I think it a little unfortunate that Senator Chipp suggested by inference that those who wrote letters were seeking to manipulate or corrupt, because he described himself as the man obviously thought to be most easily manipulated or corrupted in that he had received the most letters. [More…]
There are many people who would hold the view that there should be no termination of pregnancy, that life was created by God and that no man should put that life asunder. [More…]
There is a theory that marriages are made in heaven and that what God has joined together let no man put asunder. [More…]
The first is the legal position as stated by Senator Tate as a legal man. [More…]
Despite the fact that his Department ranges all over Australia and does construction work for all the departments of Government, he was able to give full and detailed answers relating to places ranging from the Cocos Islands down to Tasmania and up to the north of Queensland. [More…]
This sort of ability and the amount of background that this man has was well appreciated by the Committee. [More…]
The next bloke, the country man, will lose his seat. [More…]
During the course of the Estimates hearings when the Australian Bureau of Statistics was before us we found that the way in which it ascertained how many people are unemployed was by a random sample survey. [More…]
It knew how many were unemployed right to the man, woman and child over 16 years of age. [More…]
Instead of paying at the gate as an ordinary working man would have to do if he wanted to see that Grand Final, he was going to flash his gold pass. [More…]
Here we have this man, talking about getting a fleet of special aircraft to fly him around the world, yet he cannot pay two bucks to get in to see the Sydney Grand Final rugby league football match this year. [More…]
To counteract this campaign, Treasury should undertake the responsibility of advising the Australian people in just the same way that as a result of the Budget a man earning the average wage, which is in the vicinity of $200 a week, will have to pay an extra $ 1.80 a week for the petrol he uses in his car to take him to and from work. [More…]
The average man in the street is paying about the same price, perhaps a little less, as members of parliament are paying for these items in the parliamentary bar. [More…]
However, the average working man will pay $2 a week extra for the cigarettes and the drinks that he buys. [More…]
Then there are the costs of clothing and footwear that the average working man is obliged to purchase to be able to carry on his job. [More…]
I refer to a man who had a good record in the Australian forces. [More…]
In one Press article it was indicated that during various leave periods this man served in various forces in parts of the world where Australia had no involvement whatsoever. [More…]
This man has passed from our world. [More…]
Have we discovered how many ring-in medals there have been? [More…]
In relation to the estate of this man, have we endeavoured to retrieve some of these medals? [More…]
Mr MacKellar raised the point that the New South Wales Law Society had investigated this man and was still looking at the case. [More…]
He said that the Chilean had the right to take action through the Law Society to get back the $500 that he had paid in his abortive attempt to enable him to remain in Australia permanently. [More…]
I make this eleventh hour appeal to the Minister: Why cannot the Special Reports Branch go out to the Five Dock Travel Agency and ask point blank whether this man is giving false information? [More…]
I put a black ban on one man because I did not like his methods. [More…]
It is not the man involved in this case. [More…]
Let us take the case where a man goes to the London office and is tested there. [More…]
On 9 May, Mr Donald Edward Charles of 100 Percy Street, Portland, who is in the saddlery and leather business, wrote to the Regional Director of Immigration in Melbourne, informing him that he had met Mr Chowdary while he was in Australia, that he was very pleased with the type of man Mr Chowdary was, and that he had an opening for Mr Chowdary should he be fortunate enough to be able to migrate to Australia. [More…]
As a result of the young man coming to see me and my making representations to the Department, firstly in Sydney and then in Canberra, the matter was able to be sorted out. [More…]
The letter that the young man received in February of this year saying that it had been agreed that he should be a permanent resident of Australia was adhered to. [More…]
The young man was instructed to depart Australia on 9 August, 1 976. [More…]
The young man, I will not mention his name- would be now well advised either to depart Australia or contact my department to resolve his situation. [More…]
There seems to be some reference in the speech to a payment being made in accordance with the capabilities and earning capacity of a man in effective adult life. [More…]
Many honourable senators have spoken on this subject. [More…]
I am not setting myself up as a technical man but I do not think that the approach of the ABC to this matter is genuine. [More…]
One man who got one wished he had not done so- and so did Telecom. [More…]
The man who brought to me the original complaint that I mentioned earlier in my speech told me that only in the previous two weeks he had seen a vehicle for which an Aboriginal was charged $1,000. [More…]
After all, the old ‘buyer beware’ situation that perhaps the rest of the community is aware of, does not apply to many Aboriginal people. [More…]
He has not been willing to trust the man with any more plans or specifications since. [More…]
He met with the Council and said, ‘I believe you think I’m a bad man’. [More…]
They said, ‘ No, we don ‘t think you are a bad man, but you do bad things all the time ‘. [More…]
One man, Damien said, ‘You just walk right over our ideas all the time. [More…]
The young man in charge was said to have suddenly received an order to cease operations. [More…]
In connection with a girls’ hostel approved and funded by ABTF at Jay Creek, a manager’s house was built, also a flat for the man in charge of the trail rides. [More…]
This letter is the result of a meeting in Canberra between our Managing Director and the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Mr Viner, who agreed, because of our performance throughout Australia in the field of Aboriginal housing, to supply our firm with a list of Aboriginal Housing Societies with housing requirements this year. [More…]
Using our modular system, a three-bedroom home can be completely erected by a three-man crew in one week. [More…]
This letter is the result of a meeting in Canberra between our Managing Director and the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Mr Viner, who agreed, because of our performance throughout Australia in the field of Aboriginal housing, to supply our firm with a list of Aboriginal Housing Societies with housing requirements this year. [More…]
Using our modular system, a three bedroom home can be completely erected by a three man crew in one week. [More…]
If we as a people cannot harness technological change and a shorter working week to satisfactorily employ every man, woman and child who wants a job, there is something wrong with us. [More…]
The man who gave me the inspiration was Dr Strong of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics. [More…]
The debate has been enhanced by the very sensible contribution made by Senator Archer from Tasmania. [More…]
Yet one would think that there would be coming from the Australian Labor Party, through its leading man in this field, some idea of what a Labor Government would have in store for primary industry if it were returned to office. [More…]
I make an appeal to the reading public of Australia not to enrich further this man by buying his book, which I understand costs about $ 1 5. [More…]
rabies, which is one of the most serious diseases affecting all mammals, including man, in whom it is almost invariably fatal. [More…]
I find it most disturbing that such a view should be put forward by a man who, although not a member of the Corporation, is closely associated with the Corporation. [More…]
Is the Minister for Science aware of a report in today’s Canberra Times which refers to a newly-released book, Man and the Murray, by Dr P. S. Davis of the Adelaide Medical School? [More…]
For the really genuine single unemployed man or woman, I honestly feel that $5 1 .45 a week is a very small amount. [More…]
The average minimum weekly wage for a married man is $153.11. [More…]
A man could have a dependent spouse and four children. [More…]
Many of the schemes have value. [More…]
These schemes assume that all one has to do is to help the young man search for work, that the young man has to be prepared and trained and that these employment skills must be maintained while he is waiting for a job. [More…]
It is an undeniable fact- this point has been made by both Opposition speakers- that for many young people, particularly the group that I am speaking about, no work is available and no work is likely to be available. [More…]
Of the 1976-77 school leavers at Yuendumu not one young man or woman had found employment. [More…]
Science in too many Australian eyes means herbicides deforming unborn babies or nuclear reactors destroying mankind. [More…]
As Jacob Bronowski said in his memorable series The Ascent of Man: [More…]
It is about the problems of the Victorian country fuel agent, Mr Leo Gorman, and his difficulty with his own union colleagues in collecting fuel from the depot at Spotswood. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that this man was called to the Australian Conciliation and Arbitration Commission headquarters in Melbourne to attend a 9-hour compulsory conference and that towards the end of the conference he was told by the President of the Commission that, although it was not intended as a threat, if he carried on with his Federal Court writs against the Transport Workers Union of Australia and its officers, although he had every chance of winning the case, he probably risked a transport union blackban throughout Australia. [More…]
Yet it was only 1 50 years ago that man came to stay’, and a bit further on, ‘The land that lay dormant for a million years has changed ‘. [More…]
Finally, if it is a fact that he has been paid $ 1 ,683 for not working for 1 1 weeks, will you endeavour to ensure that the kitchen and dining room staff who lost two days pay over the actions of this man are suitably compensated? [More…]
He is the senior executive of the ChaseManhattan Bank, a banker of some distinction in the world, and a man with a very great economic understanding. [More…]
There is no great call from within Rhodesia for one man, one vote, neither is there a call in South Africa for one man, one vote. [More…]
It included some other nonsense to the effect that I was using a security man as a waiter and a coat-carrier. [More…]
In conjunction with Senator Douglas McClelland, I took the opportunity when we were dealing with the estimates of the Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs to state that I had reservations about the case inasmuch as it was alleged to me that Five Dock Travel Agency had enticed this man’s aunt to purchase a return ticket to Australia on the understanding that the agency would ensure he obtained permanent residence in Australia. [More…]
In the meantime, the proprietor of the Five Dock Travel Agency, Alderman Ross Maniaci, thought it appropriate to appear on a Channel 10 program on Sunday night in a sort of self-righteous role and to claim that he had been smeared in respect of the whole general situation. [More…]
I wonder whether then he would have felt that Galarrwuy Yunupingu was a fine upstanding young man who should be left in peace. [More…]
I am sorry that all Government supporters are not here to participate in this debate which means so much to so many people in Australia. [More…]
He is the General Manager of one of the most successful co-operatives in the Riverland. [More…]
He is a man of good standing in the community. [More…]
A man should never be ashamed to own he has been in the wrong, which is but saying, in other words, that he is wiser to-day than he was yesterday. [More…]
The first amendment will enable a member of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission, appointed to office under the Trade Union Training Authority Act 1975, to receive remuneration and allowances in the performance of the duties of that position with the Authority and at the same time retain office as a member of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission. [More…]
Honourable senators will know that Mr Commissioner M. E. Heagney, a man with long trade union experience, and who has contributed much to the work of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission over the past 6 years, was appointed National Director from 1 August this year. [More…]
We would certainly like to say that we have appreciated the quality of the man, his quiet thoroughness, his patience in understanding us and his approach, in both his expertness and his understanding, to what has been a sensitive problem for us all. [More…]
I have here evidence of another case- I will give the documentation to the Minister but as it contains medical records I would be reluctant to divulge it all on the records of the Senateconcerning a man whose invalid pension was withdrawn. [More…]
This man had obtained his invalid pension on the evidence of two medical practitioners- one a clinical psychologist and the other a general practitioner- but his pension was withdrawn on the evidence of one other specialist. [More…]
I shall call that specialist Dr R. When this man appealed against this decision, he was referred by the Department to Dr R for his appeal. [More…]
In other words, when this man’s pension was withdrawn he appealed against the decision and was sent on appeal to the same doctor who recommended the withdrawal. [More…]
Incidentally, this doctor has been the source of many reports to the Department of Health and, I understand, to the Department of Social Security because of his attitude to members of the Greek community. [More…]
One man had his pension stopped in Greece on the advice of the Commonwealth Police because of his connection with people involved in the case. [More…]
But, on this man’s return to Australia, it was found that he is very seriously ill. [More…]
If this has happened- another case is similarone wonders how many of the other 105-odd people in Greece who are unable to appeal would win an appeal if examined by competent specialists; how many of those people, if they were not afraid of coming back to Australiathey have a fear because of the atmosphere surrounding this case- and came back to Australia in fact would have their pensions reinstated. [More…]
Section 18 defines the expression ‘dependent female’ to mean, for the purposes of age or invalid pensions, ‘a woman who is living with a man as his wife on a bona fide domestic basis although not legally married ‘. [More…]
The approved limits of 7 per cent and 5 per cent of available man years of staff time ofthe grade of lecturer and above should be achieved as an average over 1980 and 1981 and these rates would apply to subsequent triennia. [More…]
Ellis Lawrie was not a man to seek acclaim for his successes in public life, though they were very many. [More…]
It was a fight which he pursued doggedly for many years, as we who served with him in the Senate will recall. [More…]
Ellis Lawrie was a quiet man. [More…]
As Senator Webster said, he was a very gentle man. [More…]
He was a very big man physically. [More…]
Those of us who have been here for some years and knew Ellis Lawrie knew him to be as he has been described- a gentleman, a friend, a very warm man, a very affectionate man, a man who walked amongst us and added to the graciousness and the enjoyment of life. [More…]
I came to appreciate the quality of Ellis Lawrie as Chairman of that Committee. [More…]
I think the most important part of the processes of that Committee was the manner in which Ellis Lawrie sought to reach some measure of agreement between members of the Committee. [More…]
In those circumstances I learned a little about the man and about the way in which he approached his obligations as a member of this Senate. [More…]
He was a very tolerant Chairman and subsequently a very tolerant rank and file member of that Committee. [More…]
I would have to concede that he was a good party man. [More…]
As Senator Webster has said already, he was not only a gentleman but also a gentle man. [More…]
He was a quiet man, a man whose friendship knew no bounds. [More…]
He was warmhearted and generous in many ways. [More…]
Senator Lawrie was a big man in every way. [More…]
Ellis Lawrie was such a man. [More…]
It also needed men who could husband the earth and manage its herds and flocks. [More…]
Ellis was a man of the land and, as has been intimated already, he associated himself early in his life with the United Graziers Association of Queensland and the Central Coast Graziers Association. [More…]
He was a quiet man and an unpretentious man, but his quiet and unpretentious manner hid a very sharp and alert mind. [More…]
Honourable senators on both sides of the chamber who served with him on committees also reminded me, not quite as gently, of him in whose footsteps I trod and the part that Senator Lawrie played in his own quiet manner in the Parliament. [More…]
As other senators have said, he was a typical country man. [More…]
I have very many fond recollections of meetings held in those places. [More…]
I further refer the Minister to the Liberal and National Country Party policy in the 1975 and 1977 elections which states that ‘the cost of safeguarding the environment from damaging intrusions by man is a cost, properly incurred in producing goods and services, which must ultimately be met by the producers of those goods and services and reflected in the price’. [More…]
We live in a very lucky country when we consider some of the world’s great scourges and the manner in which we avoid them. [More…]
Australia is almost free from some of the greatest menaces in the way of infectious diseases of both animal and man. [More…]
Plague, cholera, malaria, lassa fever, typhus, rabies, foot and mouth disease, Newcastle disease and many others do not afflict or very rarely afflict anyone in this country. [More…]
Many of the world’s most devastating insects have not invaded this continent as yet but it is disturbing to note, although it is unavoidable, that in the last 20 or 30 years many insect pests and diseases which affect plants have arrived in this country and have not been and will not be eradicated despite any measures which we may attempt. [More…]
In my own State of Tasmania the syrex wasp still inflicts damage on pine plantations and every year in Estimates Committee discussions the Minister representing the Minister for Health, I and others have an interesting discussion on the efforts to eliminate the oriental fruit fly. [More…]
We have managed to confine that pest in this country at a cost of many thousands of dollars. [More…]
The oak leaf miner and many other insects have invaded us and are causing trouble. [More…]
I forget the exact words that Senator McLaren used but I take it that he considers the Prime Minister to be a man of very low repute. [More…]
We have reached the stage where, if our welfare bill is close to $ 1 1 billion, it will represent about $800 for every man, woman and child in Australia. [More…]
The bread man, the milk man, the owner of the supermarket, the rent collectornone of these will hang about for 15 months waiting to be paid for their increased prices. [More…]
They will stand by a man whom they know is doing them nothing but harm, doing this parliamentary system nothing but harm, and creating divisions in our community for whatever personal political advantage he can get from it. [More…]
This is an example of the work that this man has done and the threats that he has made ever since he became a member of this Parliament. [More…]
It seems rather strange that a man can serve in an honorary capacity and be responsible for the expenditure of more than $3m of public funds. [More…]
I suppose one of the keys to the urban public transport situation and urban transport policies lies in the question of whether man wants to move himself or whether he wants to move himself and his automobile too. [More…]
No, it was none other than the National Party Minister for Transport in Queensland, the Honourable Russell Hinze, a man everyone will agree not renowned for his Labor Party sympathies. [More…]
For 1973-74, fatalities are estimated at about 300, temporary disabilities involving the loss of one or more working days or shifts are estimated to be 360,000 and working time lost from disabilities of one day or longer, 1 ,0 1 0,000 man weeks. [More…]
In the leading article of The Taxpayer dated 1 8 November 1 978, which is published by The Taxpayers ‘ Association the Prime Minister’s statement is described as being ‘misleading’ and it is suggested that in fact, the average man is ‘more than $7.50 a week worse ofT. [More…]
When it is all said and done, any man of sufficient legal stature to become a judge of a Supreme Court certainly should be capable of mastering a new legal subject. [More…]
This needs only to be stated for one to appreciate the disincentive that this represents to the ordinary working man or woman who may urgently need a dissolution. [More…]
If it is impossible for the person in question to find that $100, which will prove to be the case for many people in the community, the only alternative is for the applicant to throw himself or herself on the mercy of the registrar. [More…]
Whatever has happened, a man in a crucial position in the Cabinet, a man who was recently given extra powers over expenditure in this country so that he can authorise expenditure without going to the Cabinet for approval, has quite suddenly and quite strangely resigned. [More…]
But the Leader of the Government in the Senate was found guilty of some impropriety and lost his position when it was thought that his action was taken to protect and advantage the very man who, as reported in a three-page letter, has said that he can longer work under the present Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser). [More…]
Yes, he is an honourable man, as Senator Mcintosh said. [More…]
We learned from Senator Withers the day after he was sacked by the Prime Minister something about the man of honour who leads this country. [More…]
But on the word of honour of the man with this record we are supposed to accept that this secret document prepared by Mr Lynch ‘s accountant and Mr Lynch ‘s solicitor clears Mr Lynch of all suspicion of business malpractice. [More…]
Does the Prime Minister believe that a man with a personal business record such as that is a fit person to serve on such a sensitive committee which is supposed to protect the public interests? [More…]
The Opposition has not isolated China in the world community and our record, for at least two decades, is one of ensuring that China was not the odd man out. [More…]
There is a suggestion towards the end of the statement that this time the Soviet Union is the odd man out. [More…]
With the world as it is, it is foolish to do anything that will exacerbate that feeling of the Soviet Union being the odd man out amongst the great powers. [More…]
I do not doubt that the Soviet Government probably feels at this time that it is the odd man out. [More…]
It removed the democratically elected government in Iran and installed one of the most barbaric dictatorships to be found anywhere in the world- the dictatorship of that cowardly cur, the Shah of Persia, a man who flew around in aeroplanes apparently with gold taps and gold baths; the man who, according to some reports, in conjunction with his family has been able to ship $ 17,000m worth of assets out of the country. [More…]
He is the man who based himself on one of the cruellest, most barbaric secret police forces- the Savak- known to humanity since the German Gestapo. [More…]
He is the man who did not even have the courage to stay in Iran when trouble started, but cleared off at the first sign of an uprising. [More…]
He is the man who, at his residence outside of Paris, had a sign: Women: Respect the Veil’. [More…]
If the Acting Chief Minister makes those comments one has to suggest that perhaps the Northern Territory is like the country of the blind where the one-eyed man is king. [More…]
I ask honourable senators: Who was using a tool more than the man who said ‘I wouldn’t work under the big bastard’. [More…]
Who sought to destroy the Prime Minister more than that man did? [More…]
At the time he sought to destroy the Prime Minister he left the Parliament with a grin on his facethis is an ambitious man who rose to a Cabinet position- and simply walked out happy about the fact that he had resigned. [More…]
Technological change, which started in the industrial revolution, seemed to be the answer to many of man’s problems. [More…]
It replaced man’s labour; it replaced his misery; it made his work life more tolerable; it increased productivity; and it was responsible for many of the improvements which have taken place in our civilisation over the last couple of hundred years. [More…]
As has been pointed out by many people, the problem that now arises is that it is in these areas that the technological changes are eroding employment prospects. [More…]
We know that the Labor Government’s Minister for Labor said that an increase in one person’s wage costs another man his job. [More…]
We can compare those people with the man with a family on the minimum wage. [More…]
A man with a family on the minimum wage earns only $183 each week and pays tax. [More…]
This man has gone mad. [More…]
With this in mind and in the spirit of cooperationI am a reasonable man who is fairly easy to get on with- I should like to go some way towards accommodating the concern that has been expressed by Senator Chipp. [More…]
In my view a helpful and constructive reference to the Committee of which I am proud to be Chairman would read as follows: [More…]
It is supposedly a parliament run in the style of the Westminster system yet in operation it is a parliament controlled by an executive which is dominated by one man, and that one man has personal interests in this area which have been revealed in this Parliament before. [More…]
Its huge size gives it in many ways an emormous potential- for tourism, for recreation, for education and for research. [More…]
It may have a most important part to play in feeding the overcrowded humanity of this world. [More…]
Man has lived on land and has drawn most of his support from it, with very little reference to the sea. [More…]
I would like to reiterate the situation and I would like Senator Harradine, if he is a man, to deny what I am going to say. [More…]
That was the address where Senator Harradine had established an ersatz branch of the Tasmanian Trades and Labor Council after having taken over the Council by the use of what would be classified as the most sophisticated type of fascist and mafia tactics. [More…]
He displaced a very fine old man, Jack O’Neill, who was Secretary of the Trades Hall Council in Hobart. [More…]
This is the way he took over the trade union movement in Tasmania- by the use of every underhand and snide method that has been known in the trade union movement in Australia. [More…]
After I have told the Senate of the way in which this man goes on, he will not be so verbose in future in trying to bluff his way out of the situation in which he finds himself. [More…]
That cheque was deposited and signed for by a Mr Robert Watling, the successor to Senator Harradine as secretary of the Trades and Labour Council in Tasmania. [More…]
But this man now is the Tasmanian Director of trade union training. [More…]
The panel that appointed Sean Kelly was Arnold Currie, the Tasmanian Secretary of the Building Workers Industrial Union, then President of the TTLC Brian Harradine, then Secretary of the TTLC and Des Lavey, the then Division Secretary of the Australian Council of Salaried and Professional Associations and a man who has been persecuted by Senator Harradine. [More…]
The panel also contained David Llewellyn from the Council of Australian Government Employee Organisations and Peter Imlach, the Tasmanian Secretary of the Hospital Employees Federation. [More…]
In the case of Senator Wriedt, the Senate heard from a man whose background is that of a person who has spent a great deal of time in this place and who has vast knowledge of the way that the administration of government finances operates. [More…]
The film showed a young man and woman sitting together drinking wine. [More…]
When looking at advertising we have to decide whether the Hogan image, the Marlboro man, and the various advertising techniques are playing any role in enhancing that seduction of minors into using a product which the law of most States does not permit to be sold to minors. [More…]
If anyone saw a very famous advertising man who appeared on Monday Conference a year ago, they will remember that he acknowledged- he did not dodge the question-that advertising companies were out to increase the number of users of their products, to increase the market, for example, the use of drugs. [More…]
One does not need to go into considerable detail about the role of the British Broadcasting Commission, for instance, or to indicate the quality and nature of BBC programs that appear on television in Australia- programs such as The Ascent of Man, in which Dr Bronowski took a most fascinating intellectual journey through human history. [More…]
The Eritrean people have been subjected to man made displacement suffering for many years. [More…]
This young lady, who is a nurse, personifies a humanity and courage of which Australian youth is sometimes said to be incapable. [More…]
With her was Fesse Haie Abraham, a young Eritrean who is studying in Australia, a gentle and intelligent man who has worked for many months with Tadesse Kahsai to help their brothers and sisters at home. [More…]
The other night I was rather sickened to watch on television the laughing rulers in Vietnam when they declared that they would fight to the last man. [More…]
Human beings slaughter each other because of the whim, the selfishness and the lack of tolerance of politicians of opposing nations who send other people to war. [More…]
Of course, the most important point about the document and about the contribution made by Senator Sheil was that since man gained more mobility and so was able to assert himself and the interests of his country- the word ‘imperialism’ developed during the early period of the last thousand years but more particularly from the actions of the Portuguese, the Spanish and the other colonisers- we have seen the emergence of countries, governments, dictatorships and feudal states which only in the current period of political history are beginning to be put into some proper perspective. [More…]
I believe that an Australian communist said once: Between the Elbe River and the China Sea no man points a gun at another’. [More…]
While the Soviet Union is increasing its already enormous military power faster than any other country and while it is increasingly active in relation to the troubled spots of the world, politically it is the odd-man-out among the great powers. [More…]
A man called Bosch fought for 20 years to become leader of his country. [More…]
A revolution was manufactured, the American marines regrettably went in on the other side. [More…]
One of the great tragedies of Africa is the manifestation of tribal rivalries. [More…]
I can remember a man called Mboya who regrettably was cut down in his prime. [More…]
This man might have succeeded Kenyatta. [More…]
We should not forget that many of the boundaries were drawn to suit the occupying power, be it Britain, France or other nations. [More…]
I can remember when Joe Chamberlain, a man who held, among others, the positions of National Secretary and National President of the Australian Labor Party, was in Indonesia on one occasion. [More…]
A Trident submarine commander would be the third most poweful man in the world, next to the US and the Soviet Presidents. [More…]
He would control a destructive force greater than that of Britain, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina, West Germany, Japan, the Philippines, India and Pakistan put together. [More…]
I often wonder whether man’s destiny on earth is to destroy the earth and make the world a barren planet, to match the other planets of the universe. [More…]
As the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) himself has said, the Cambodian Government became one of the most oppressive governments known to the history of man. [More…]
I would suggest that this is what all of us have so long been striving for: a world in which freedom, justice and solidarity are part of every man’s everyday life. [More…]
We can express forcefully disapproval of the deprivation of human rights, of torture, of racial discrimination or of exploitation of man by man in any country, and we should do so. [More…]
We can assist to the limit of our capacity- and it is often not great- in the freeing of all mankind from the scourges of famine, disease and malnutrition and we can urge others as fortunate as us to do so. [More…]
The Prime Minister is a man who is very concerned about costs for the taxpayers. [More…]
He has emphasised the point that the matter of greatest importance that Labor can find to debate while proceedings are broadcast today is a matter on which not only the man who moved the motion, Senator Walsh, is not present to hear the Governments response but also the Opposition can muster only five members to put in an appearance during their issue of national importance. [More…]
Before he drew attention to the state of the House I was attempting to put in a quite reasonable manner the way in which Labor introduced this debate. [More…]
The honourable senator questioned whether there was some impropriety- I think the alleged impropriety- in the fact that the Prime Minister knows Mr Ian Morton who is the Chairman of the Rural Finance Commission of Victoria which is responsible for rural reconstruction schemes in that State. [More…]
I know the purity with which this man administers his responsibilities. [More…]
I do not know the way in which rural finance is directed in other States, but I know my own State very well and I have great confidence in the man Senator Walsh denigrates. [More…]
I imagine there would not be one member of the Labor Party who sits in the Senate today who has ever taken a farmer and that man’s problems to the Rural Finance Commission to see whether that man could be helped. [More…]
Because the people did not understand it, and because there were many pessimists around, a steam engine was not allowed to move along a track or a road unless a man with a red flag walked ahead of it. [More…]
At the time there were some reservations about this tax becoming permanent. [More…]
The then honourable member for Richmond, Mr Anthony, stated that few of the taxation measures ever introduced into the House had had a worthier object, that is, the provision of funds to supplement the income of the family man. [More…]
It concerns me that the Leader of the Government in the Senate, a man who is appointed by the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) as the representative of the Government in this place, can merely rise in this chamber and say that Senator Colston, as is his right as a member of the Senate, can put his case on the record in this Parliament and, so far as he and the Parliament are concerned, that will be the end of the matter. [More…]
Is he aware that the increase in fuel prices was, to quote the millers: ‘Similar to kicking a man when he was down’? [More…]
There is no real assistance in retraining, particularly for the man who wants to change his job. [More…]
If a man wanted to change his job to achieve job satisfaction he would be in extreme trouble. [More…]
A young man brought his case to me when he could not establish independence in order to receive the full time allowance. [More…]
About 60 years ago during one of the more glorious periods in Australia’s history, John Masefield had something to say about the Australian man when he described the Anzac Corps which landed at Gallipoli in this way: [More…]
That, of course, became part of the great Australian tradition, part of the Australian man’s perception of himself and it probably remained so as an important ingredient in the Australian national ethos and identity right up until the Second World War. [More…]
With all due deference, as a younger man, I might say that the view in this Senate perhaps represents some of the fine qualities of that period. [More…]
It was only at the time of the Second World War, of course, that there began to be a perception of some change in this picture of the Australian man which can be summarised in the following description by a surgeon commander of the British Navy: [More…]
I have had a case indicated to me of a man whose wife was not allowed into Australia because she suffered from epilepsy. [More…]
It is exactly the same situation if a man married a local girl who was later found to have TB and it needed treatment. [More…]
I am sure also that every man who marries would expect the marriage lasts. [More…]
Let us face it: There are many politically undesirable people in Australia. [More…]
After all, it is a cheek to suggest to a man that he has married in this short two or three weeks time and that he had better go home and think it over before he marries. [More…]
It is a decision for the man and for the woman involved. [More…]
I have information from the High Commissioner’s office of the United Kingdom that if a British man marries a Commonwealth citizen- and that is an interesting phrase for us because, perhaps we do not recognise Commonwealth citizens as such; in other words a member of a country which is part of the great Commonwealth- he simply has to obtain a certificate of partiality and then there is immediate entry. [More…]
If a British man marries other than a Commonwealth citizen- in other words, marries a woman from a country which does not contribute to our Commonwealth heads of government conferences- a visa will be issued within a few days. [More…]
Assume a man went on a holiday for a month and met a girl in the first week. [More…]
This man of whom I am speaking went to the Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs and asked for a bundle of nomination forms so that he could complete them. [More…]
The man then went further and asked for the guidelines on which the officer was basing her decision. [More…]
Following representations from a constituent, I sought approval for a man travelling to Holland to bring back his nephew with him. [More…]
I met the man in the street a few weeks later and went to commiserate with him on the Minister’s decision. [More…]
A man who makes those sorts of statements is not likely to be amenable to reason. [More…]
Mr Acting Deputy President, being an old railway man, you will know that in the early days of the Australian Railways Union organisers had to travel around the country on motorbikes. [More…]
He is an old railway man, as is Senator Bishop. [More…]
The one man who was serving in the shop at that time- there were probably other employees, but he was certainly on his own at that time- said to me: ‘Will you hang on for a while?’ [More…]
So, this man was busy changing the price tags on sports coats, shirts, slacks, boots and other items. [More…]
These two Aboriginal women, of course, were not classified as human beings and they were told to leave the area. [More…]
Senator Chaney is a very humane man and many of us on this side of the chamber who have some experience in these areas have decided that we would let him dig in and become established as a Minister before we started to criticise. [More…]
Mick Miller- a well-known black activist, a qualified school teacher and a man who has been around- was sacked from his position as a school teacher because the Education Department demanded that he transfer from Cairns to another centre many miles away. [More…]
There is the Archer River case on Cape York, where a white man who owned a lease was prepared to sell it to a group of Aborigines and the Aboriginal Land Fund Commission was prepared to buy it. [More…]
At the Aitkenvale reserve, the predecessor of the manager who taught the old ladies to play cards was a very ruthless man who was known as Handcuffs’. [More…]
The manager finally met his match when three or four of them came home one night and he could not handle them. [More…]
They received prison terms and heavy fines, although the manager always escaped scot-free when he brutally assaulted black people. [More…]
All that that man did was to approach the manager of the reserve and ask whether he could draw some money from his own passbook. [More…]
The manager said that he could not draw it out, so Vincent Starlight picked up the desk and tipped it over against the manager. [More…]
It frightened hell out of the manager but did not physically hurt him. [More…]
Afterwards the manager had the desk bolted to the floor, and I think it is still bolted to the floor. [More…]
There was no law, only the bylaws, so it was the manager who was responsible for confining this man to Punishment Island for a period of six months. [More…]
That man has now had a total psychiatric breakdown and has been a patient at Mossman Hall for the last three or four years. [More…]
He put the breath bag on the man but it did not work very effectively. [More…]
There was no one there to operate the breathalyser equipment, so he took him to the hospital and said to the doctor: ‘You will give this man a blood test’. [More…]
The policeman said: ‘He is the biggest catch I have had for some time’. [More…]
This man had an unblemished record of 30 years in the Public Service. [More…]
The policeman said: ‘I am going to get a conviction against him. [More…]
While the brawl was going on between the policeman and the doctor, three or four of this man’s children were picked up by the police and locked up at the police station. [More…]
While the policeman was still trying to persuade the doctor to take a blood test, this chap just walked off. [More…]
We had a similar incident in Cairns some months ago with a man who was allegedly drunk. [More…]
I bring the complaints to this Parliament, and I hope that the exposition of people like Hollamby, the policeman from the west who subjected a girl to the most crude and rude sexual assaults one can imagine, and the policeman who tied a bloke to a fence will do some good. [More…]
The Prime Minister has now become known as Mr Heinz, the man who has 57 different varieties. [More…]
The one exception to this rule is Mr Goodluck from Tasmania. [More…]
I, like many of us, was shocked at the fact that a man of his stature, principle and age could be taken so suddenly. [More…]
One thing that comes to mind is his adherence to the basic principles of democracy and to the right of the Senate to act in a proper and conscientious manner in respect of its responsibilities. [More…]
Although I knew him only briefly I can say that he was a man who was committed to democratic principles and a man who regarded principles perhaps as more important than his party. [More…]
It is in that context that I believe we are paying tribute to a man who, whilst he was here for only a very short time, indicated to the Senate and to the Australian community generally that he was prepared to act in defence of principles rather than of party, and that is a virtue which is all too often in short supply in party politics in Australia. [More…]
Basically, what I am saying is that if we have a good man as defence force commander we should stick to him. [More…]
In their place a commander of each service was appointed. [More…]
He is responsible to the defence force commander. [More…]
Again, these three service commanders were given the archaic and inappropriate titles of chiefs of staff. [More…]
The Tange report recommended the establishment of 12 major policy and management committees. [More…]
But there are in fact now many more committees. [More…]
This type of management by committee is contrary to the whole administrative approach of the armed Services. [More…]
A skilled committee man in the position of power can delay a decision not for months but for years. [More…]
Man does not live by bread alone. [More…]
As I said earlier, man does not live on bread alone. [More…]
The Aboriginal councils do not have self-management of or self-determination in their communities. [More…]
A more arrogant man could not be found, and he should not have the responsibility for the lives of some 50,000 Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders in Queensland. [More…]
Francis Brown is another young man who, as far back as I can remember, has lived on the island. [More…]
One young man was beaten by four votes. [More…]
I say again as 1 have said so many times before in this chamber: Unless this present Commonwealth Government has the intestinal fortitude to take on the Queensland Premier and the Queensland Minister for Aboriginal and [More…]
A letter in the most recent edition of the Professional Fishermen, written by a man with 50 years’ experience in the fishing industry in south-western Victoria, states in part: [More…]
A man who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing. [More…]
The exposure of the community is doubled by their exposure to man made radiation, 90 per cent of this dosage is due to medical uses of radiation and as much as half may be unnecessary. [More…]
Surely Senator MacGibbon must be as alarmed as I am at the result of that sequence of events which made this man a fugitive to the point that today he left Queensland and took a train to Victoria. [More…]
On 20 April at a large meeting in the Paddington Town Hall called by the Greek Orthodox community in Sydney, Mr Portley the then Acting Director of the Department of Social Security in New South Wales and a man who, at that meeting, conducted himself extremely well and with great propriety and reassured many members of the community, said that more than 500 people had been taken off pensions and benefits pending investigation. [More…]
Where is the proof of this man’s statements and allegations which create a climate that affected so many of the hapless and helpless people in our community in Sydney? [More…]
I thought at one stage this afternoon that probably the purpose of this motion was to have a good old bash at the Director-General, a man who is not able to defend himself in this place. [More…]
Here in the Senate we deal with legislation and, with the greatest respect to the AttorneyGeneral, it is not good enough to say as he has said in many debates in this place that AttorneysGeneral and Directors-General of ASIO are reasonable men and we need not worry. [More…]
The reasonable man in British common law is the man on the Clapham bus and he does not often get to be the Director-General of ASIO or the Attorney-General in the Australian Government. [More…]
They are not to be used so as to pry into any man ‘s private conduct or business affairs: or even into his political opinions, except in so far as they are subversive, that is, they would contemplate the overthrow of the Government by unlawful means. [More…]
If the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy. [More…]
It was a record which demanded drastic action if ASIO’s continued existence was to be capable of justification in any kind of democratic society. [More…]
We have been told that remedial action has been set in train at the executive level; that there has been a substantial turnover in the composition of the Organisation, in the recruitment of many new staff, of a much higher level of qualification and professional competence. [More…]
In particular, we have now seen the appointment of Mr Justice Woodward as the Director-General, a man of whose personal competence and integrity we are in no doubt. [More…]
I would much rather have that man inside my tent spitting out than outside spitting in’, or words to that effect. [More…]
When a Greek person is in trouble with the law the media tends to report it as ‘Greek in assault case’ or ‘Greek drunken driver’, rather than simply giving the person’s name or stating a man convicted of drunken driving’. [More…]
In Australia it is a trait that many of us prefer to think worse of minority groups. [More…]
A man reported to me that he went to the police station simply to have a statutory declaration signed. [More…]
Because many of the Greeks are involved in the building trade, probably a good number of them are unemployed. [More…]
I do not know whether this is a cultural factor, whether there is some loss of face or some shame, if a man or woman admits that he or she is unemployed, or whether it is because of the treatment given them at the office at which they would have to register. [More…]
Everyone is aware of the ruthless manner in which the Prime Minister deals with his colleagues. [More…]
One only has to look at the manner in which he disposed of former colleagues and former leaders, Mr Gorton and Mr Snedden, to realise that no one could possibly feel safe from the sort of treatment that this man is capable of meting out when it suits him and nor would they trust him. [More…]
In view of the manner in which the Prime Minister treats his colleagues, sooner or later they will have to face up to these issues before they join the list of victims on the backbench. [More…]
It is the conduct of the man more than any other factor which is the reason to establish the conditions which should be applied to Ministers. [More…]
In fairness, I must pay tribute to Senator Wriedt and say that I believe he is a man who wants to set principles in this place and who brings to this place a certain degree of dignity. [More…]
We were told that it was a matter of high principle for a man to stick by his principles even if it meant sacrificing his position and that, therefore, we should be grateful to Mr Ellicott for doing what he did. [More…]
For some reason- I do not accept the reason given by the Leader of the Government in the Senate- Mr Robinson is the one man who under Fraser can do what he likes. [More…]
The then Prime Minister encouraged Government members to cross the floor of the House of Representatives to destroy James Cope, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, at a time when Mr Whitlam could have shown some discretion, sympathy and respect for a man who commanded so much respect not only in the Parliament but throughout his parliamentary life. [More…]
I refer instead to a reliable authority, a man who would command the respect of many and most people in the Labor Party, Fred Daly, who in his book From Curtin to Kerr has quoted many things, one matter being the lack of communication. [More…]
This report suggests that because no white man was interested in this large area of land the Aboriginals were able to claim it. [More…]
I think many honourable senators would know Justice Toohey. [More…]
He is a most fair man, Senator Cavanagh should have withdrawn the reflection he made on him. [More…]
These social limits to growth, if accepted as valid, call in question the main doctrinal basis of Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations that man in promoting his own self-interest could be led ‘as by an invisible hand’ to promote the social good. [More…]
One man received no payments for months and was refused sickness benefits because he was, in fact, expecting compensation payments. [More…]
Another man owed some $700 in sickness benefits to the Department as direct deductions from his compensation payments. [More…]
Of course, such circumstances create great problems for a man who is living on $80 a week and needs extra assistance because of his disability. [More…]
The man, who had worked for Australia Post, had a serious back injury and a long history of delayed payments. [More…]
He went into debt, as so many people do in this situation. [More…]
Only when we get a national compensation scheme will it not matter whether a man falls from a tree or a building in Wodonga or in Albury. [More…]
At present a man is hundreds of dollars worse off if he falls in Wodonga rather than in Albury across the river. [More…]
At present a government employed construction worker injured on the job in the Australian Capital Territory is worse off than a man working for a private contractor. [More…]
We can raise payments and make them retrospective, as was done in 1954 by a humane but conservative government. [More…]
But again, I worry about our naval men, the people who man our ships. [More…]
It is the purpose of the Navy to provide fighting ships and to man those fighting ships. [More…]
That old fable concerning the Oopi Doop, the short and longlegged man who walked around the mountain, applies to tyres that come within this category. [More…]
They recognise only one character and he is predictably the lone hero who represents urban man presenting himself on a variety of undefined social stages. [More…]
I think that, like Senator Bonner’s resolution, it would be a recognition that the indigenous people of Australia had settled this country before the white man arrived. [More…]
The great Mr Porter, the clairvoyant, the globetrotter, the man who can look through mirrors comes to this great conclusion. [More…]
It is not prepared to take on the Queensland Government because it has not the guts to accept its responsibilities and stand up to a man who is in anyone’s estimation a disgrace as the Premier of a State in this Commonwealth. [More…]
That legislation, says the Minister’s own Department, is in the Commonwealth Government’s view discriminatory and outdated, primarily because it gives government officials extraordinary powers to manage and direct the lives of Aborigines and Islanders on reserves, trusteeships on reserves and the right to negotiate on behalf of Aborigines and Islanders about land use and in particular exploration and mining on reserves. [More…]
It also gives them the power to manage the property of Aborigines and Islanders. [More…]
Are we not now confronted with this latest blatant disregard of human rights, where a white man, a European, is being permitted by the Queensland Government to stand for a position of management over those who shall make up the shire council? [More…]
That is a very different approach, a very different attitude, from the attitude of the Government members in this Parliament who, as the National Times survey printed on 17 March showed, remain coy, almost to the last man and woman amongst them as to whether they have any such arrangement. [More…]
I have said before that many people in the industry, no matter in what State, give him due credit for the stand that he took at that time in 1965 in agreeing to the CEMAA plan. [More…]
I want to put on federal record a copy of a speech he made in the South Australian State Parliament on this matter on 13 October 1964.I hope that in years to come when people are reading about the egg industry they will be able to read this speech and see that that man was doing something which he thought was needed; he had the courage to do that when he became a Minister. [More…]
The Queensland, Victorian, and Western Australian Governments are Liberal and Country Party Governments and New South Wales and Tasmanian Governments are Labor Party Governments, yet all have supported it. [More…]
What does the Minister consider is a big producer: the man with 2,000 to 3,000 birds? [More…]
There are 60 producers in my district with that many birds. [More…]
He should consider the way that they were crucified and ostracised by people such as the man whose cause Senator Knight championed tonight, who are concerned only with their own hip pockets and what they can put into them. [More…]
That man has a licence for about 150,000 birds. [More…]
Today a man and his wife, as efficient poultry farmers, could make a decent living out of 5,000 laying hens if they ran their farm properly. [More…]
Here we have a man who is arguing that he should have more than 150,000 birds. [More…]
Other allegations have been made in relation to Mr Riach and another man who must stand trial for matters which have arisen out of the Gowan ‘s inquiry. [More…]
He has read it on many occasions. [More…]
Dick Hamer, the Premier of Victoria, is a man without peer in regard to honesty and integrity and I have the greatest confidence in him. [More…]
The Labor Party would be well favoured if it had a man of the quality of the Premier of Victoria and I suggest that it look very hard not only at its own policies but also at the type of men who lead it throughout Australia. [More…]
Senator Webster also indulged in a spirited defence of the Hamer Government, describing Mr Hamer as ‘a man without peer’ in respect of integrity and honesty. [More…]
For example, Mr Jennings and Mr Francis suggested that in their view Mr Hamer was not a man without peer in regard to his honesty and integrity on these matters. [More…]
In this particular case, as I understand the facts, the episode in which this young man was involved was highly publicised and the Minister for the Army therefore had good cause to make a careful examination of the episode itself and the surrounding circumstances. [More…]
I believe that that man should have had more redress than he did but he settled for a small victory. [More…]
In proposing that amendment the Labor movement is saying that it accepts the concept of a security system within the internal operation of Australia but that until such time as the matters that are suggested in our amendment become embodied in the legislation and become part and parcel of the charter by which the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation conducts its affairs any government, particularly this Government, will find it hard to sell the concept of an Australian Security Intelligence Organisation to the ordinary man and woman in the Australian community- men and women who believe that they have a right to say what they want to say, to do what they want to do and to think what they want to think without necessarily being subjected to the spying and Sprying that go on in what is or might become a police state. [More…]
I, like all of my colleagues who spoke earlier in this debate, am one of those who believe that the internal security of the nation should be fully and completely protected but that it is paramount that at all times the political rights and civil liberties of the ordinary man and woman in the Australian community have to be protected. [More…]
Suddenly a rabbit was pulled out of the hat and a man called Petrov appeared on the Australian political scene. [More…]
The man was confused, and it is reasonable to assume that the other two were confused also. [More…]
It would no doubt be available to members of the Joint Committee on the New and Permanent Parliament House. [More…]
The area decided upon a few weeks ago for the new and permanent Parliament House is 4,786 square metres. [More…]
I would like to make the observation, and it is by no means original, that man does not live by bread alone. [More…]
I may have overestimated the willingness of the media to discriminate between the compulsive critic and the informed and balanced critic; or to discern the man who has a valuable, intellectual contribution to make, from the lobbyist seeking to advance a material interest of his own, or of his sponsors. [More…]
In 1952 there was genuinely held concern by many people in this country that Australia should participate in the ANZUS agreement without the United Kingdom as a member of that agreement. [More…]
Time and tide wait for no man. [More…]
However, there are many thousands of others with his convictions and his prejudices who hate Cavanagh because although they have never met him, they know about his security record. [More…]
When I was in Western Australia a policeman who acts as a security agent said to me: ‘There is one thing I hate about this job. [More…]
The local policeman is not capable of making a security assessment. [More…]
He may dislike a man because he sees him in the hotel bar or because he talks red; so he puts in a report saying that in his belief the man is a Com’. [More…]
Victor Marchetti, a former CIA agent who resigned in 1969, was introduced to the intelligence business in 1952 while serving with the United States Army in Germany. [More…]
Among the statements he made in his testimony he claimed that Australia kept a liaison man at the CIA headquarters and that information was exchanged between Australia and the CIA. [More…]
We had the classical case many years ago when Eamon De Valera looked like going to the Tower of London, but he claimed American-Spanish parentage and he got out. [More…]
I suppose one man’s terrorist is another man’s patriot; it is the way one looks at the situation. [More…]
I spent many years of my life writing on forms that I was an Australian citizen and having people cross that out and saying that I was a British citizen. [More…]
I am sure a man of good Irish descent like Senator Mulvihill spent years doing the same thing. [More…]
They are in fact mammals, and in many ways show an affinity and a kinship with the human species, which is rare in any animal. [More…]
We know that from the 12th century onwards the Basque fishermen of Spain have been hunting and taking the North Atlantic right whale, and that the association in myth and legend between man and whale and the related cetacea species of dolphin and porpoise has been a long and enduring one. [More…]
Such intelligent interlock of minds and thought and feelings would mean that man no longer is a dominant being served by all other living forms depending on his wishes. [More…]
Man might then better appreciate that all living forms are interlinked and related. [More…]
To destroy any forms interrupts nature ‘s balance to the eventual detriment of man. [More…]
I ask the Leader of the Government to find out whether the man’s passport has been cancelled. [More…]
The person concerned could sit in at a meeting and I would be unable, on discovering that he is working for security, to tell my colleagues of the man’s occupation or that he is present for the purpose of spying. [More…]
I met the man from ASIO. [More…]
He is in so many places. [More…]
He is a man who would have obvious prejudices, unless he were an extraordinary man. [More…]
That is the sort of person who would be put in ASIO- a prejudiced, warped, bigoted man such as the Premier of Queensland. [More…]
A man who has expert knowledge and is familiar with this subject will have an opportunity of looking at the way in which the Organisation is working following the presentation of his report and the introduction of this legislation which is the result of his report. [More…]
I take the point that we cannot simply rely on the man who is in charge of the Organisation or on the men who are running it. [More…]
Most of the Australian newspapers have carried out very responsible reporting on the American disaster but I want to quote only three or four paragraphs from an article in the Courier-Mail written by Jack Lunn whom I have known for many years and a man who is a very responsible reporter. [More…]
Here a cold-eyed man wearing a revolver, a navy blue uniform and badges, ordered me to empty my pockets. [More…]
I speak not only as a senator in this parliament but also as the Chairman of the Australian Parliamentary Group of Amnesty International, which organisation has expressed its view in no uncertain terms. [More…]
It has urged that clemency be exercised in respect of this political leader- a man who was elected twice to the highest position in Pakistan and a man who was deposed. [More…]
We know that this is not the only case of the execution of a political leader, but it is to be deplored because this action removes a man who has been a leader of a country, a man of great importance in that part of the world. [More…]
We know that in the treatment of this man as a prisoner a great deal occurred that is also a matter of criticism. [More…]
I believe that it is appropriate that this motion should be carried by the Senate not only as an expression of the Senate ‘s grief at the death of a man who until recently was a distinguished national leader and to show that the Senate deplores the action of the Government which has brought about his judicial murder but also to draw attention to what seems to be becoming an ever-increasing phenomenon in modern political life, that is, the murder of people who take political positions. [More…]
Mr Bhutto was a remarkable man. [More…]
Mr Bhutto was a scholarly man who sacrificed himself to work within his own country. [More…]
He impressed me as a man of tremendous intellectual capacity. [More…]
The whole of the Western World, the SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations, many countries of the Islamic world and the People’s Republic of China all made pleas for clemency. [More…]
Whatever the crimes of this man may or may not have been- and we cannot sit in judgment- the execution fills all of us with horror today. [More…]
I join with Senator Wriedt, Senator Missen and Senator Wheeldon and others who will speak to this motion in expressing my horror at and opposition to the execution of a very distinguished man. [More…]
desire solemnly to lay upon the conscience of all who have property in these colonies the thought that there is blood upon their land, and that human souls, to whom they are in so many ways debtors, in the name of natural justice, and in the name of the Redeemer, are perishing because no man careth for them. [More…]
I believe that with a man like Dr Boden leading the Australian delegation we will have a pretty solid attitude. [More…]
The legislation here is designed to centre the power in the hands of virtually one man. [More…]
I call him a rather remarkable man, not because he does, or has done, anything remarkable but because he has managed to achieve the highest possible political position in a State without ever having been prepared to listen to or acknowledge that there are opposing points of view to his own. [More…]
If Senator Peter Baume has ever been into a newspaper office he will realise that it is one man sitting at a desk with a blue pencil who determines whether the news reporter saw what he claimed to have seen or whether we will read what that sub-editor thinks we should know. [More…]
In 1975 at Gundreminngen in the Federal Republic of Germany, two deaths occurred following a leak of 800 litres of radioactive steam during vent repairs. [More…]
I am prepared to accept that the Government has never accepted responsibility publicly, but it has in fact accepted responsibility by virtue of the payment of compensation to the widow of the man who died as a result of exposure to radiation. [More…]
At present the recommended maximum annual exposure to man-made non medical radiation for the general public is 300 millirems. [More…]
-Well, Mr President, I believe that the General Manager of the Wheat Board is a very honourable man. [More…]
The Australian Democrats ask that the Government consider this very human situation where it is legislating for one man to have tremendous responsibility and authority and not providing any safeguards whatsoever. [More…]
If the Minister, without having the professional expertise and the proper knowledge, were to substitute his opinion and to override the advice of the professional man, in this case the Director-General, there would be a ludicrous situation. [More…]
He is a more enlightened man than I am. [More…]
-Mr President, I seek your protection from these inane interjections by a man whose sobriety is under question. [More…]
It was a bit like that day you tried to find out how many goldfish were coming into this country, how many were going to be stopped from coming into this country and how many tropical fish were coming into this country. [More…]
The other day when he came into this argument- I am sorry to intrude in this subject Mr Deputy President- this man who is now giving cheek in this chamber tried to stop all the ex-servicemen of this country from getting cheap interest repatriation loans. [More…]
The Commonwealth is fortunate indeed to have at its disposal a man of the calibre and experience of the present Government Printer, Mr John Thompson. [More…]
As Minister for Tourism and Recreation in the Labor Government he demonstrated his ability as a capable and hard-working administrator and as a man with a sharp sense of his responsibility to this Parliament. [More…]
He was a highly principled and deeply religious man, a Roman Catholic who actively pursued moral causes. [More…]
Though many members of the Parliament may have disagreed with him at times, I believe the overwhelming number of his parliamentary colleagues on both sides had a respect and, indeed, an affection for him. [More…]
Those of us who were privileged to be present at St Mary’s Cathedral and at the graveside in the final services to him experienced a most eloquent tribute to him by a cross-section of people from all walks of life who obviously came to acknowledge the man, his service, his friendship, his warmth and the journey that they had walked with him. [More…]
I, as a New South Welshman, was privileged to know him for a very long time. [More…]
Any man or woman who spends as many years in this Parliament as Frank Stewart spent will almost certainly occupy senior positions and positions of great responsibility. [More…]
Something should also be said- Senator Carrick has already referred to it- about the manner in which Frank Stewart was so committed to certain issues. [More…]
No doubt to a very large extent this was the result of his very deeply held religious convictions of which we are all aware, and even though we disagreed on many things he never wavered in his convictions, and that is a great attribute, particularly for those in this place. [More…]
We of the Australian Labor Party have lost an excellent and trusted colleague and the Parliament has lost a very competent and honest man. [More…]
His sudden death afflicts with a sense of bereavement and loss those of us who came to know him well and to respect him as a man of principle, of integrity, and of outstanding sportsmanship. [More…]
Those qualities to which I have referred and which won him many friends on both sides of the Parliament and outside the Parliament go on record to his credit. [More…]
Like Senator Carrick and other honourable senators who have spoken, I pay tribute to him for being a deeply religious man, a very happily married man and a loving and successful father. [More…]
As I once held that portfolio, I know the total respect in which Frank Stewart was held by the Chairman of the Australian Tourist Commission, Mr Alan Greenway, with whom Frank Stewart developed a very close personal friendship. [More…]
When he was Minister for Tourism and Recreation he showed that he was a man of the highest integrity. [More…]
It was tragic that a man who did so many beneficial things for sport in general should have passed away while exercising. [More…]
I found myself shanghaied into opening the batting with Frank Stewart, a remarkably fit man and a man who, as Don Chipp would appreciate, could steal singles. [More…]
I think it is on that basis that we all pay tribute to a man who said what he thought. [More…]
He was a highly principled man who subscribed to a basic Labor philosophy which came, I believe, from very deeply held moral principles. [More…]
They were very largely the principles of the Roman Catholic Church, but they were not only the principles of that Church. [More…]
This was despite his many other duties as Minister Assisting the Treasurer in which, as Senator Wriedt has said, he performed work which can be described only as invaluable in the Federal Cabinet and in the portfolio which he had to manage. [More…]
He was a man of very great courage and was an asset and credit to this Parliament. [More…]
Although no doubt his wife and his children must be feeling very great grief at his early death, I believe at the same time they should be very proud that they had such a fine man as a husband and as a father. [More…]
Frank Stewart was a man of great moral and physical courage. [More…]
Another brother, Jack, is the Chairman of Directors of the Cronulla Leagues Club. [More…]
He has been described as an old-style Labor man. [More…]
He was a man who had the courage of his convictions and who knew what he believed. [More…]
Frank Stewart, being a man who had served in the Army in the Second Australian Imperial Force, was most dedicated to assisting those who served in the forces. [More…]
-It is difficult for us to realise that when we leave this place today Frank Stewart will no longer be with us, that no longer will we be able to exchange pleasantries and ideas with a man of great and high principle. [More…]
He was a most distinguished leader of the Liberal Party in his State, where his many colleagues will be saddened by his loss. [More…]
He was a man of simple attitudes and a man, like Frank Stewart, of firm principles. [More…]
I think he could be adequately described as a quiet man, a true gentleman. [More…]
He was a great man. [More…]
Like a man shouting down a well, he hears his own voice. [More…]
On that date a man by the name of Geoffrey Leo Patterson, who operated a company called Patvin Pty Ltd with a registered office at 226 Bay Street, Port Melbourne, was arrested and charged with obtaining financial advantge by deception. [More…]
The IRB officer concerned, who operates out of Burnie, has been on the industrial scene for some 20 years, so he is no rookie acting in an over-zealous manner. [More…]
The fact that it was an IRB operation has been confirmed by the Bureau’s stubborn refusal to admit error well beyond the point where any reasonable man would have admitted that an officer in the field had somehow got the award wrong. [More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Post and Telecommunications whether last Friday and Saturday the Australian Broadcasting Commission radio and television news programs ran an interview with a man who was said to he the leader of the Ku Klux Klan in Australia? [More…]
Is it true that the man was not identified? [More…]
Did the ABC give the man an undertaking not to identify him? [More…]
Will the Minister ask his colleague, the Minister for Post and Telecommunications, to confer with the General Manager of the ABC to ensure that practitioners of hatred in this country are not allowed to peddie their poison on news programs cloaked by a hood and anonymity? [More…]
The ABC New Service did broadcast part of an interview with a man in Darwin claiming to be the Australian leader of the Ku Klux Klan. [More…]
The man’s identity was known to the ABC’s Darwin news staff. [More…]
The man wore a white hood and was not identified, at his request. [More…]
The man interviewed said his group would not engage in antiblack activities. [More…]
I think this man’s name is Wilkes but there is some doubt in the minds of the people of Victoria as to who he is or what his name is. [More…]
There is the same vagueness about the man as there is about Labor’s policies. [More…]
Mr Hamer has not emerged at any stage in Australian politics as one who could be described as remotely resembling a strong man. [More…]
The alternative government in Victoria is not only committed to better management in a wide variety of areas, but is also committed to a totally different policy on taxation imposed by the State of Victoria. [More…]
I rise merely to record the concern of a number of people as to the basis of the levy and the continuing weight being given to man hours worked. [More…]
We have not been given information that would inspire in us a feeling that this man would act any differently from Mr Tonks, who previously occupied the third position. [More…]
Two of the three are people who have served before and the third, Mr Statham, against whom Senator Gietzelt said he did not cast aspersions and in whose integrity he did not have any lack of confidence, is a man who served his country at length, in both peace and war, and his record is an impressive one. [More…]
He expressed sympathy with the young fellow concerned, and I look forward to his cooperation in seeing that justice is done, that the man is re-installed in a position that he has displayed competence to carry out. [More…]
A man told us: ‘I’ve lived in the bush. [More…]
The black man should be able to plan his own future. ‘ [More…]
Another man, one who has fought for years to get living conditions for his people: [More…]
One can see the way this man misuses words. [More…]
As the man responsible for the Act and its administration, he said that the reasons that steps had not been taken to proclaim that area as a marine park were generally of a constitutional nature. [More…]
Apparently working on the assumption that people who receive social security benefits suddenly become third-class citizens, this man took it upon himself to just walk in. [More…]
On Tuesday 6 December 1978 a man about 5 ‘3 “tall - [More…]
The un-named man said that was not big enough and proceeded to walk from room to room and finally decided to use the kitchen table. [More…]
He then told Mrs Miller that because she had a de facto relationship with a man she could be fined $1000 or sent to gaol for six months. [More…]
Mrs Miller was terrified and said that she did not have a man friend although in fact she did have a male friend who visited here from time to time but with whom she had never had a de facto relationship nor had she ever had such a relationship with any man. [More…]
Shortly afterwards the field officer and another man came to the house again and both . [More…]
The un-named man who had been to the house previously said that Mrs Miller had no right to go and see the social worker. [More…]
He said that they had definite proof that a man was a substantial resident’ of the home. [More…]
Mrs Miller invited unnamed man No. [More…]
2 to go through the house and check to sec if he could find anything to give the impression that a man lived there but he declined. [More…]
The man at the counter said that the Director ‘doesn’t want to see you kind of people’. [More…]
Later the file was traced to the Social Security office at Inala and the man at the counter said . [More…]
Mrs Miller asked what he meant and he said that she had misled the Department about having a man living with her. [More…]
She said that the man was ‘ very nasty ‘. [More…]
Mrs Miller has told her man friend that he is not to come to the house again. [More…]
Even when her parents call, Mrs Miller is so nervous that she says to her father: ‘For heaven’s sake, Dad, sit down in case someone sees that I have a man in my house ‘. [More…]
One has to ask: At what level in the Public Service are field officers who, on the basis of a rumour or on a neighbour’s suspicion that there is a man contributing to the running of a household, would go on inspections of the homes of people who are in receipt of social security benefits? [More…]
In the first place, the man told Mrs Miller that, .because she had a de facto relationship with a man, she could be fined $1,000 or sent to gaol for six months. [More…]
Because she has a de facto relationship with a man, I cannot see why she should be sent to gaol or fined $ 1,000. [More…]
The second man came along, together with the first, to say that Mrs Miller had no right to go to see the social worker. [More…]
Why did the field officer say that they had definite proof that a man was a substantial resident of the home? [More…]
Here is a woman with two dependent children. [More…]
But she has to receive food parcels from Life Line because of the actions and threats of one man. [More…]
Dealing further with these notes, I point out that the man at the counter said that the Director doesn’t want to see you kind of people’. [More…]
The ‘List of Species and Genera of Aquarium Fishes Proposed for Continued Importation’ was drawn up to reduce to manageable proportions for import control purposes the number of species of exotic freshwater aquarium fishes approved for importation but to include species that had been commonly imported by the trade for many years and were regarded to be of low environmental and disease risk. [More…]
The guidelines followed by the Advisory Committee in compiling the list were to exclude species that fell into any one or more of the following categories: have caused problems when introduced anywhere in the world: might have detrimental effects on other species of fish; might have detrimental effects on the environment: were known carriers of any economically important disease or parasite believed not to be in Australia; were harmful to man or livestock; had a wide capacity for survival and dispersal; might readily be confused with undesirable species: or grew to a large size suitable for food or game fish stocking. [More…]
Charles Adermann was born on 3 August 1896 at Vernon Siding in Queensland. [More…]
At the young age of 28 he entered the service of his State as Chairman of the Queensland Peanut Marketing Board, a position he retired from in 1952. [More…]
He served as Chairman of the Kingaroy Shire Council from 1939 to 1946. [More…]
He was a man well known in his district and in his industry. [More…]
In the national Parliament, Charles Adermann served with great distinction. [More…]
In 1950 he became Chairman of Committees, holding that position until 1958. [More…]
We feel a great sense of loss for a man who distinguished himself as a parliamentarian, a Minister and a dedicated member of his Party. [More…]
All those who knew him, knew him as a fine gentleman with high principles, simple dignity and indeed a true friend. [More…]
I associate my party with the motion of condolence at the passing of Charles Adermann but, more particularly, I rise as someone who knew Sir Charles personally. [More…]
He was a man who one could say was a Christian, not only by the stamp of the faith he wore but also by his actions. [More…]
One could hardly say that one regretted the passing of a man whose life was so full. [More…]
I do not know whether it is more wrong to execute a man because he is a baker or a wharf labourer than because he is a politician. [More…]
But, if the only test of a man’s habits is that he holds views different from those of the regime itself, clearly one would share Senator Puplick ‘s expression of distaste that what is being done is setting a kind of precedent in the world for very grave instability and of course a total lack of democracy. [More…]
Mr Lynch, the Minister for Industry and Commerce, told an audience of businessmen recently that he believed that the unemployment benefit in this country was too high and that too many people were receiving it. [More…]
I believe this is a remarkable observation from a man who receives over $40,000 a year from the public purse, whose daily travelling allowance as a Minister is more than the weekly unemployment benefit paid to a single person in this country and who supplements his payments from the public purse with profits from property speculation in which he takes advantage of concessional rates of interest provided to him by insurance companies in Queensland. [More…]
Such a refusal would have to be conveyed to the man’s employer who could be a private contractor. [More…]
But I do not think it should be left to one man to make this decision upon one set of untested evidence. [More…]
It is a fact that according to his case either ASIO would stand aside and maybe let a man who is a wellknown, well-documented spy of serious proportions be employed by the Commonwealth Government in a sensitive situation, or ASIO might be able to take necessary action under a clause which is not meant to apply to that situation at all, namely, one under which it might be able to take action of a temporary kind pending the satisfaction of these rights under the Act. [More…]
My question is directed to the Minister for Science and the Environment and concerns the statements reported today of the newly appointed Chairman of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority, Mr Higgs. [More…]
I say by way of preface that I welcome the appointment of such an experienced and good man to such a position. [More…]
I think the Parliament and indeed the people of Australia will be proud to have such an experienced man as Mr Higgs as the Chairman of the Great Barrier Reef Marine [More…]
Canada has a nine-man board, of whom one-third is legal people. [More…]
When dealing with such problems, the board splits up into three-man units, one operating at Toronto, one at Montreal and the other at Quebec. [More…]
It has honest differences of opinion with militant people, on their own ethnic causes and trade union causes, who sometimes have to go through an experience similar to Gethsemane to gain citizenship. [More…]
I would like to believe that in a nine-man committee there would be people with a fair amount of expertise in the cross currents that are present in all major ethnic communities. [More…]
I would like to see a broad nine-man tribunal, three people from the legal fraternity and the other six from other occupations. [More…]
In a situation where a militant Italian has a problem regarding citizenship, a Greek member of the tribunal, who may be an excellent man in the Greek commmunity would not be familiar with the ebbs and flows of the Italian community. [More…]
As a matter of fact, Senator Elstob mentioned to me some time ago that he went up into the opal fields and a man said to him: ‘I applied for citizenship two or three years ago and I never heard anything’. [More…]
We know that permanent appointment to half of the positions in the Public Service is contingent on possession of Australian citizenship. [More…]
A Palestinian, for example, may be denied permanency until he is granted Australian citizenship. [More…]
This would not be an industrial matter for the union, but it would argue that the man would be entitled to permanency. [More…]
As a young man he worked on the Kalgoorlie goldfields in the 1 930s. [More…]
I can assure honourable senators- a man with an alert brain like Senator Puplick would know- that people who adopted an anti-Stalin line, even though they were militant trade unionists, were called by the Communist Party lackeys of the Yanks. [More…]
This was an extreme situation where this man got the worst of the two worlds. [More…]
The simple point is that under the Opposition amendment, any aggrieved citizen, public servant or any person in the sort of situation I have described, can go to somebody, namely the Ombudsman, who in a sense is seen- and it is all credit to this Government for introducing the legislation- as the citizen’s friend. [More…]
If any official with government status or origin is seen as the person who determines a citizen’s right, who has the power to stand up to the government, so it is perceived, on a civil liberties issue it is the Ombudsman. [More…]
The Ombudsman is the man who is most suitable to inquire into an adverse security assessment made about somebody before the commencement of this legislation and to set in train the process which is set out in the amendments. [More…]
But he would be a marked man. [More…]
However, what the Opposition does insist upon, and what is entirely lacking from the present arrangement, is a role for the independent, expert AuditorGeneral, a man whose honesty and integrity ought to be throroughly beyond dispute in this [More…]
Earlier this year a couple of questions were asked by Senator Cavanagh about a man called Tiger Yadjajeri who was involved in an accident. [More…]
An Aboriginal will not say: ‘I am a black man; I am an Aboriginal’. [More…]
For nearly 200 years the Aboriginal people have been driven by the white man from the best lands into the desert. [More…]
Many of them perished in the process of white civilisation. [More…]
I noted the calm way in which we heard the Leader of the Opposition and I note also that this vociferous man, Senator Cavanagh, is trying to interrupt and divert me to some other matter. [More…]
Honourable senators will recall that on 8 May he incorporated in Hansard two letters from Mr Newman, the Minister for National Development, to me. [More…]
Regrettably, today he has had to disclose again that he has been the recipient of a further stolen document, that is, one from Mr Groom to Mr Newman that was apparently written on 20 October. [More…]
The third answer is to point an accusing finger at Senator Wriedt and say: ‘This man is a purloiner of documents’. [More…]
I would like to know whether or not the Minister, who sees himself as an honourable, a diligent and decent man, repudiates those standards. [More…]
That letter was written by Mr Groom, the previous Minister in charge of environmental matters and the man who has been mainly responsible for the recommendation in relation to the Capricornia section. [More…]
We have seen in the newspapers graphic reports of the sorts of pressures that were put on this young man at the time of the signing. [More…]
It takes me back to the policy speech by a man called Malcolm Fraser on 27 November 1975. [More…]
I believe that the Minister is a sincere man. [More…]
I conclude my remarks by saying that very many Australians will be watching the Government’s performance in this regard with the greatest of care. [More…]
Have they not borne a burden ever since the white man occupied this territory? [More…]
It would be taxable only in the hands of the Toyota dealer; not in the hands of the man for whom the Toyota was being purchased. [More…]
The only statement that he has been able to make is that that very famous man in current history, Mr Howard, made a statement that certain types of taxes would be established. [More…]
What am I to say to a family man who faces an extra $3.50 a week for health insurance costs as a result of last Thursday’s mini-Budget’s breaking the Medibank promise? [More…]
In that year, some 2,634,700 man-days were lost because of industrial disputes. [More…]
As near as we could find out, work-time reported lost in Australian manufacturing industry through industrial accidents which resulted in claims for workers compensation was about 7,100 man years in 1972-73. [More…]
This compares with a total of about 6,100 man years lost through industrial disputes in the same year. [More…]
The cost in terms of human suffering is immeasurable. [More…]
Every time that this so-called strong man who leads this Government is confronted with opponents who have the capacity to fight back, he backs down before them. [More…]
Put a man and a women together and 1 8 years later you may have a soldier. [More…]
But I believe that when a man assumes the position of leader of the country, by whatever methods he adopted, his credibility has to be sound and accepted by the Australian people, otherwise people will not follow him and we will have divisiveness and worse trouble. [More…]
I have tried to keep- I believe I have kept- any personal feelings I have for the man out of my judgment of him. [More…]
Whatever any of us personally thinks about the man, he is now leader of the country. [More…]
I will not mention the name of the case- the crux of the matter was that the judge ordered deportation, but the man concerned was apprehensive of returning to his birthplace. [More…]
In Northern Ireland however you would have to consult the Department of Manpower Services; if you are thinking of going to live or work in the Isle of Man or one of the Channel Islands, you should first consult the Island’s Immigration authorities. [More…]
In any event, these levels do not present a hazard to animals or man eating the plants. [More…]
Senator Mulvihill asked a question concerning a man from the railway workshops at Eveleigh. [More…]
Of course, Senator Jessop repeatedly stands in this Parliament and says that he is a man of independent mind, that he is not bound by party policy. [More…]
I am proud that the South Australian Government had the common sense to go ahead and complete the work which was started years ago by one man, Tom Playford, of whom honourable senators opposite claim to be proud. [More…]
In the very early days- between 1961 and 1962- a man named Vincent Starlight, who today is a psychiatric case at Mosman Hall in Charters Towers, was sentenced for a very minor offence to six months’ solitary confinement on Punishment Island which is a little island in the Palm Island group. [More…]
We finally were able to get him an invalid pension because the man was broken down mentally and physically. [More…]
Another case concerns a man over 65 years of age with only one arm who was badly savaged by a brumby horse in, I think, the Northern Territory. [More…]
I am concerned at the horrific murder of a man who had surrendered to a government that had taken over his country. [More…]
I want to know whether the Minister is aware of the allegations that other people have been murdered in a like manner. [More…]
I am raising this matter on the adjournment because I am sick in my stomach at the thought that a man who surrendered himself to a government that had taken over his country should be murdered in such a manner. [More…]
I do not believe we have ever had a report that it has happened in this same horrible manner. [More…]
Moreover, regrettably, Sir Garfield Barwick is not a man of whom it can be said that his bark is worse than his bite. [More…]
In that respect, he appears not to have been content with housing the Sydney bar during his leadership of it some years ago; he now wants to go down - I hesitate, because it might be unparliamentary, to describe him as the Albert Speer of the Australian judiciary- to put it politely, as the King Cheops of the Australian judicial tradition, the man to bring to the fruition the long cherished dream - [More…]
Any institution is a combination of bricks and mortar, the people who man it and the way in which it is administered. [More…]
It is interesting to contrast the views which have been put by Senator Evans today with the views that were put by the man who actually had the responsibility for getting this building started in 1975. [More…]
Mr Uren, a man who is not notable for promoting palaces which are out of touch with the wishes of people, said: [More…]
People under the control of Senator Webster’s Department- such as Dr Harry Frith, an outstanding Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation research man- appeared before the Committee. [More…]
I met that man very briefly. [More…]
He was an incredibly nice man. [More…]
Being a small, elderly man, Ted Pretty immediately got up again and did what any man in his position would do. [More…]
Where is the protection of the worker in this House against a ruthless individual who acts in such a manner? [More…]
I do not know whether the barbecue was held but I know that a workman was injured. [More…]
If the facts I have set out are proved we should support any claim this man makes. [More…]
If, after examination, what I have said is found to be correct are we going to say that no penalty should be imposed on a man who is supposed to be an honourable and responsible elected member of Her Majesty’s Parliament and who has behaved in that way against someone doing a service for politicians? [More…]
But as a senator for New South Wales I assert again that the attitude of the Premier and the attitude of the Attorney-General as his parliamentary hatchet man has been to pack rape parliamentary democracy. [More…]
The amount for that gentleman’s telephone account, I repeat, was $30,000. [More…]
As I pointed out, he was an appointment made by Mr Sinclair, the man who is now on record as being very famous, for the way that he came into this chamber today and ordered the Leader of the Government out of the chamber in order to instruct him that he was not to persevere with the sacking of Senator Webster. [More…]
In the years that I have known him, I have thought him to be a man with a lot of credibility and a man who would not suffer anybody who made a promise to people, not only once but two or three times, not keeping that promise. [More…]
I am addressing them through you, sir, to the man on my left who has had extreme difficulty, since he has come into this place, in understanding a lot of things. [More…]
As Senator Coleman interjects, who does not create a disturbance when drunk? [More…]
On 29 March- I want to list these events in chronological order- the manager posted a notice to say that the store was closed and that it would not be available to the Aboriginal people living in the area. [More…]
Obviously, it was incredible that the man should cut off their one contact with Camooweal, with Ammaroo or with any other spot. [More…]
No, this man never talked to us. [More…]
man from Tennant Creek help you? [More…]
The people said that he didn’t help them and he probably listened too hard to the manager. [More…]
-by leave-I have no desire to injure any man with false or untruthful statements. [More…]
I was informed by a person who I thought was a reliable informant and, having told the story, I expressed my desire to protect the workers of this building. [More…]
I also mentioned in my speech that, on the information given to me today by my informant, at that stage Mr Pretty was prepared to say that the incident did not happen. [More…]
1 accepted my informant as reliable. [More…]
An unemployed man with a wife and four children is $28.68 below the poverty line. [More…]
Possibly Senator Chaney is so blind about the man who leads his party and the promises made by that man that Senator Chaney also believes the statement made by the Prime Minister to the Parliament on 22 February 1 979 when he said: [More…]
The family man who is paying more of his wages in tax than ever before in our history. [More…]
The threshold for a married man with a dependent spouse rose from $4,000 to $4,698. [More…]
The general rebate rose to $676, the single tax theshold rose to $3,153 and the threshold for a married man with a dependent spouse rose to $5,209. [More…]
A man who was previously taxed at 35c in the dollar for a salary up to $12,532 per annum was able to increase his earnings to $ 1 6,000 before having to pay tax at a higher rate than 32c in the dollar. [More…]
The single threshold became $3,893 and the threshold for a married man with a dependent spouse rose to $5,758. [More…]
So much for the fearless statesman of 1975 who now pleads failure on the grounds that external events beyond his control have forced his massive repudiation of solemn electoral pledges. [More…]
In no area is this man’s failure so absolute as in the area of taxation. [More…]
In 1 977 he spoke like a man with no arms who throws away money. [More…]
The analogy is hitting a man on the head with a hammer, patching him up with a band-aid and then telling him that you are sorry. [More…]
The impact of those increases is widespread and virtually every working man is affected by them. [More…]
He has shown himself to be a man who uses words very loosely. [More…]
When Profesor Ovington was appointed, we were given in this place a very full outline of his ability and there was recognition on both sides of the chamber of the calibre pf the man. [More…]
We do not want a repeat performance of the Queensland situation. [More…]
If Senator Kilgariff is a good man for the Northern Territory and respects his coat of arms, he will say to me: ‘We will gaol everybody who breaches any ordinance’. [More…]
I know the local manoeuvres that will be carried out to spring these people out of gaol. [More…]
One man shot about 10 kangaroos in the forests and he has not yet paid his fine. [More…]
The works relate to civil roads, drainage, services for a construction camp and caravan park, purchase and refurbishment of a temporary sewerage treatment plant, plant hire for initial access tracks, temporary construction of a 50 man camp, a catering and security contract, another construction camp and so on. [More…]
Proposed new section 8D (2) reads in part: “(2) At any time before a plan of management relating to the Park comes into force, the Director may grant written licences to the Authority- [More…]
He is a man well able, as he has shown over many years, to speak on behalf of Queensland in a most forceful and proper way. [More…]
The response of the Premier, Sir Charles Court, when Mr Justice Smith’s judgment was handed down was, firstly, to reject it out of hand and to say that it was the opinion of one man. [More…]
The fact is that Crichton-Browne was the major shareholder and the founding shareholder in Burrill Investments, which was found by the Senate Committee investigating the matter to have manipulated the stock exchange and to have made a profit of at least $ 1 .3m by misleading the stock exchange. [More…]
But the fact is the Crichton-Browne became a very wealthy man by those means. [More…]
The response of the Western Australian Premier was that that was one man’s opinion. [More…]
We have to know what concentration of radon daughters a man who is crawling around on the floor of a mine pit will be subjected to. [More…]
We have to know how many times he will make the journey up and down the side of the open cut and how he will be affected. [More…]
We have to know what pressures mine management will exert on the radiation protection officer which the code demands that the mines appoint. [More…]
We have to know how management will react when the radiation protection officer suggests that the mine should be closed down for some days while the radon gas is dispersed and safety returns. [More…]
We have to know how mine management will react when expensive alterations to procedures are suggested in the interests of radiation protection. [More…]
I invite the Senate to consider a comparison of the income of $120 a week with the income of $103 of a man with the same family responsibilities who is on the dole. [More…]
The bashing that this Government has given to the rural community is completely vindictive in its nature and the man who introduced this Bill should be ashamed of himself and of his failure to exercise his responsibility on behalf of his electorate. [More…]
This was said by the man who ultimately became and is Prime Minister of Australia speaking in 1973 on a subject about which he would claim to have considerable expertise. [More…]
The Bill requires Permanent Heads of departments, not the Ministers of departments, to identify three different areas. [More…]
The second area involves the situation where through invalidity a man can no longer efficiently carry out his duties. [More…]
Not only do people over 55 receive the appropriately graded supenannuation but also they receive a lump sum payment, which in the case of a man of 55 who has been compulsorily retired amounts to 10 months of his salary. [More…]
In any man’s language this legislation is bad. [More…]
I can assure the Government that with this appeals provision it is going a long, long way along the road to having a thoroughly discontented, unhappy Public Service, where one man is against another, and one woman is against another, and where the main concentration will be on how to get the other guy rather than do your work efficiently. [More…]
This Minister was a very talented person, a man who later became the Governor-General of Australia- Sir Paul Hasluck. [More…]
When I was a young man, many people entered the Public Service for one reason, namely, security. [More…]
He is quite entitled to appeal if management tries a little of the patronage which sometimes management does try. [More…]
In the case of this Bill, the man is asked to nominate a person who should be sacked instead of him. [More…]
Here is a man interrupting, Mr President. [More…]
You heard the manSenator Wriedt- being unruly. [More…]
Here is a man who cannot stand the heat in this place. [More…]
I ask for a pledge from the Minister that no major decision will be made at the instigation of the Chief Minister of the Northern Territory while Professor Ovington is overseas because, as good a man as he is, I cannot see how he can be expected to be a ruckman and a rover at the same time. [More…]
I suggest that the females in those areas are most at risk when a man is declared ‘in excess’. [More…]
I give the example of a man who has a wife and children to keep and who is declared ‘in excess’ and therefore is to be redeployed or, at worst, retrenched; and of a woman in the same department whose husband has a good job. [More…]
What else is the man to do but to declare that that woman is the alternative person to be sacked? [More…]
If a man working in a department is declared ‘in excess’ and there is a woman in the same department who has a husband who might not be in much of a job, or who might not have a job at all, he may decide that she has somebody who can look after her and so declare that she is the alternative person to be sacked. [More…]
It may be the case that a woman is working in a department. [More…]
A male who has a wife and children to keep at home and who is desperate to keep his job may declare that woman as the alternative person to be sacked. [More…]
Taking into account the prejudices that people have in those areas and the fact that a man’s wages have to keep a wife, children and himself, I think that sort of proposition would be accepted by those who have to make the decision. [More…]
While that decision is being made there is no way for them to know what responsibilities the woman has, what her domestic situation is, what the joint responsibilities of the married couple are, or how the woman will live or want to live. [More…]
I am sure, sir, that you, as an ex-railwayman along with myself, would agree it is very seldom we get a chance to extol the virtues of the railway system and the role it can play in our transport. [More…]
The trains are quite well handled by one man who sits beside a computerised console in civilisation. [More…]
Mr Ryan, the man who had responsibility for the line in the Northern Territory Government- they were not called Ministers in those days- said that the line would be closed over my dead body’. [More…]
When if any working man goes on strike he does so for a very good cause- to get justice. [More…]
The experience of the man who was brought to Australia to provide a report has been in the area of anti-terrorism. [More…]
This legislation provides an opportunity to recognise that men who have joined the Commonwealth police have made many sacrifices and have decided to make it their career. [More…]
Yet it delegates authority to one man- the Commissioner. [More…]
In New South Wales at this moment under State law an investigation is being conducted by a man named, I think, Mr Finnane. [More…]
I must say that until I heard that argument I had never thought of Senator Evans as a belt and braces man. [More…]
In the last few weeks we have heard of the case of a young man who jumped ship in Australia when he was 1 8 years old in order to settle with his mother and sister, who were his only relations. [More…]
This young man went to the Department and told his story, and he was not allowed to return home. [More…]
Despite all endeavours to stay, this man- he is still only a young man of 22 years of age who has committed no crime other than wanting to be with his mother and sister when he was 1 8 years of age- was deported back to Greece. [More…]
This is a young man in his early twenties whose sister had married an Australian, had come out to live in Australia and had just had her first baby. [More…]
Her father, this young man’s father, came out to Australia to visit his daughter and his new grandchild. [More…]
This young man wished to come out to visit his sister and his new nephew. [More…]
How many of our young people going overseas to visit would have a greater than average income? [More…]
A young man with no property ties and below average income is not going to be able to visit his sister very often. [More…]
I spoke to this young man’s relatives and they were most anxious that he should be out here in time to have the baby christened. [More…]
The program featured the claims made by an American Ph.D., a man of some learning, a man named Dean Burk. [More…]
That is an incorrect description for this man. [More…]
He is indeed a man of absolute integrity, a man of outstanding ability and judgment, who has been completely dedicated to the wellbeing and strengthening of the institution of the Parliament and of the Senate in particular. [More…]
If so, has the Government any idea what this man will say next? [More…]
Family allowances have not been increased since 1976, when they were introduced to replace child endowment, which had remained unchanged for many years and had become fairly meaningless. [More…]
Family allowances have been eroded by inflation since that time, a factor which was admitted in a speech made to a recent social security conference by none other than the Director-General of Social Services, a man who is not known for wild statements on this subject. [More…]
1 ) Does the Australian Bureau of Statistics, or any other Government department, collect statistics on the number of man hours weeks lost through industrial accidents and diseases arising out of work-place conditions. [More…]
For the last five years that both series of statistics are available, please provide a comparison of the number of man days lost through: [More…]
Under the circumstances, is it any wonder that, since the Prime Minister’s credibility is at its lowest level since his election in 1975, the Australian people have the greatest doubts as to the integrity and genuineness of this man? [More…]
The Fraser petrol tax, the tax surcharge, the dropping of personal and corporate tax indexation and the direct creation of higher inflation show that any vestige of credibility in economic management has disappeared out the window. [More…]
One recalls the statement made in another country about another leader in days gone by, the question being: ‘Would you be prepared to buy a used car from this man?’ [More…]
Surely we, and not just one man, the Director-General of the Organisation or, if he sees fit, the Attorney-General of the day, are entitled to know that. [More…]
Surely we are entitled to know whether a process which puts so many citizens under surveillance was justified. [More…]
Of course, we do not know because we have never been told how many letters have been opened or how many entries of premises made, allegedly in the interests of the security of our country. [More…]
He is a decent, honest man and a good Premier. [More…]
That is a statement by the man who I suppose would be acknowledged as the foremost authority in this country on federalism. [More…]
What more does anyone want than a man saying ‘We want you to return to uniform taxation; that is the alternative to Fraser’ when everything that was said by the Labor Premier of South Australia was a condemnation of uniform taxation as practised by Senator Wriedt as a senior Minister? [More…]
When one reads all the allegations which flow back and forth in an article by a man such as Mr Delaney about the whole management of this question, there is considerable room for further consideration of a report from a committee of this kind. [More…]
The essence of the penalties imposed by this legislation is very much that the man at the lower end of the line- for example, the small-time operator who is caught in certain circumstancessuffers a proportionately greater penalty than the really big-time and serious offenders. [More…]
He was dubious too about deterrence, believing that courts put too much faith in deterrence, ignoring the fact that man is a risk-taking animal who hopes and expects that he will not be caught. [More…]
Notwithstanding the excellent work being done under most trying circumstances by Mr Thompson, the present Commonwealth Government Printer, I think it is a scandalous state of affairs that a man with his expertise, a man who has the responsibility for 700-odd people, should be receiving $3,000 a year less than the Northern Territory Printer. [More…]
If it is not, I suggest that that is a terrible insult for a man to deliver against his very recent colleagues. [More…]
He achieved this by calling on great reserves of diplomacy, powers of command and a great sensitivity. [More…]
There will be an enormous number of tributes paid to this man. [More…]
His superior officer, the Commander-in-Chief, Mediterranean, wrote in Lord Mountbatten ‘s confidential report: [More…]
It is doubtful whether any man in the twentieth century could have given greater service to his country and to the Commonwealth. [More…]
I have not met a more immense man, if one measures immensity by the drive, the leadership, the sheer courage, the all-round talent and- to use an over-used word- the charisma of the man. [More…]
He was a man’s man, with an immense spirit of service. [More…]
Into 79 crowded years he packed the lifetimes of many men. [More…]
We have all lost a very great world figure, a great leader and a man who in dignity, courage and other qualities has shown leadership to us all. [More…]
The Reverend Ndabaningi Sithole, who for many years had been a conspicuous leader of the African nationalist movement, and Bishop Muzorewa, who had performed a similar role, agreed with Mr Smith and his Government to establish a new constitution under which elections were held. [More…]
It has not only a black Prime Minister but also a black nationalist Prime Minister in Bishop Muzorewa, a man with a long record of advocacy and activity on behalf of equality for the black people of that country. [More…]
I had noted the elections, but at the time that Mr Fraser visited them in order to obtain his advice and counsel and inspiration on democratic questions, he was still the military dictator; a man who, along with others, was responsible for some of the most horrendous genocide which has been seen on this planet. [More…]
He is the man whose good offices apparently were needed in order to hold the Commonwealth together. [More…]
That is the man whose advice was needed on how the Commonwealth ought to be managed. [More…]
It is either the white man or the black man. [More…]
Either the white man is exterminated or the black man is exterminated’. [More…]
It is an inquiry into allegations that have been made against one man in that Bureau. [More…]
Yet this man, unlike Mr Garland, unlike Mr Lynch, unlike Mr Eric Robinson and unlike Senator Withers, continues to hold the fourth most senior position in the Fraser Ministry. [More…]
I am not suggesting for a moment that the father is falling down on his job, but in our eyes a man of 66 is most likely getting past the age when he is able adequately to support his family. [More…]

He stated that, because man’s emotional development has not matched his technological progress, man’s self-induced extinction on this planet now becomes almost a statistical certainty. [More…]
Just on the basis of this one example, can it not be justifiably claimed that either we are dealing with a man who simply does not understand what he is doing to the Australian community, or alternatively, if he does, he is incapable of rectifying it? [More…]
In 1979 in Australia it does not do to be old, to be sick, to be unemployed, to be a school-leaver or to be a family man with young children. [More…]
But most people in South Australia see straight through this man, and clearly they will not support him on 1 5 September if he is prepared to perpetrate such misleading statements. [More…]

In the case of broadcasting, which we would all agree is an area of enormous public interest, should a man with experience of and a background in broadcasting in a commercial sense be appointed? [More…]
It is hard for anyone on this side to understand what sort of logic provides for the bulk billing of patients who, at the doctor’s discretion, are considered to be disadvantaged in this community, and then to demand from these patients- bearing in mind the stringent application of the definition of ‘disadvantaged’ applied by some doctors- the full expenditure, the same as everybody else in the community, when they reach the chemist shop. [More…]
It is not beyond the wit of this Government, or any other government, to conceive a system whereby the unemployed can be identified and given concessions of this type, which they deserve; a system whereby low income earners can be identified and given concessions for pharmaceutical benefits without having to trek to distant public hospitals and without having to be concerned about whether they have to go through a test by some professional man as to whether or not they are disadvantaged. [More…]

Every year hundreds or thousands of women in the community have their pensions taken away from them on the assertion of officers of the Department of Social Security that they are living in a de facto relationship with a man. [More…]
Either the legislation and the guidelines need changing or the officers who deprived this woman of her pension for two years need at least reprimanding or to justify their decision in this case. [More…]
It is important that this very difficult area- I admit that is is a difficult area- be cleared up so that justice can be done and be seen to be done for the many women involved. [More…]
How can the people of Australia be anything but confused as a result of the policies of a government led by this man? [More…]

I have heard Senator Messner from South Australia refer to the Premier of South Australia, a man who has fought under very serious active service conditions, as Corporal Corcoran. [More…]
Senator Messner has made some other irrelevant and disrespectful comments about the Premier of South Australia, a man who fought in Korea and who fought in Malaysia. [More…]
I was secretary of the Trades and Labour Council for many years. [More…]
Being a modest man, I think I can say that my reputation for settling disputes was fairly good. [More…]
Des Corcoran is a strong man and a good man. [More…]
I ask honourable senators: How many Ministers would suspend bus operators because they had brought on a sharp strike and annoyed the public by an instantaneous stoppage in the pouring rain? [More…]
That is strong action by a Labor Minister- a courageous man and a good Minister. [More…]
I would have thought that this Parliament would be grateful that there is a man of the competence and energy of Mr Garland who is prepared to take on such an onerous responsibility and task. [More…]
The Labor Government dismantled the growth formulas of the export incentive scheme, one of the major incentives for export trade; it presided over the shutout of Australia from one of our major traditional markets, the European Economic Community; and it was also in power during the disastrous shut-outs of beef from the United States and Japan in 1 974. [More…]
My contribution today is to draw the attention of the Senate to the fact that in my opinion not nearly enough emphasis is being placed on the level of national policy for this tremendous investment that we have, especially in Tasmania where our resources, although they are rich, are limited. [More…]
Timber is one of the greatest gifts that man has. [More…]
The comment is not quite right because I hold great interest in this industry and, of course, a great interest in Tasmania. [More…]
He had some words with me earlier about some of the very eminent people associated with the development of the timber industry in Tasmania, particularly the seasoning activity. [More…]
He mentioned one Cyril Niven, the most eminent man in Australia in relation to the early seasoning of hardwoods, who had a great deal to do with the industry when mills were being commenced in Tasmania. [More…]
It was in those years that I was first associated with the timber industry and had quite a deal to do with Tasmania. [More…]
I mentioned to Senator O’Byrne that in the late 1 940s, I imagine it would have been, two small vessels, the Leprina and the Argosy Lema, were used by a Victorian company named Smith Bros to bring its timber across from Tasmania. [More…]
I was a tally man on the wharves, dealing with timber, and the stories I heard then were most interesting. [More…]
The Prime Minister, the man who in 1 975 and 1977 pledged to restore prosperity to Australia and its people, continues down the path of broken promises, so much so that his ratings are at an all-time low. [More…]
His strongest supporters, even within his electorate of Wannon, now see him as a man with feet of clay. [More…]
Firstly, he and his Government have failed to deliver; secondly, the Prime Minister’s performances on television, seen in the lounge-rooms of the nation, have destroyed him. [More…]
Perhaps the kindest thing the Liberal Party bosses could do for the present Prime Minister would be to take him out of the country again, perhaps to Lusaka or elsewhere in Africa where, according to his party and the Australian media, at the meeting of Heads of Government he played centre stage for the entire performance, to the detriment of all other actors in the cast. [More…]
This is the man who claims to care for people and who at one stage in his political career was a Minister for Education or a shadow minister for education. [More…]
The man who in 1975 pledged to the nation that Medibank would be retained has been shown, as in so many other areas, to be untruthful. [More…]
Thousands of people undoubtedly are paying their $10 a week, or whatever, for cover which many of them will never use and that payment is not even tax deductible as it was prior to the establishment of Medibank. [More…]
As I said earlier, this man stands destroyed in the lounge rooms of Australia. [More…]
During the time of the Labor Government, an average of 4.1 million man days were lost per year. [More…]
How will people believe in a government led by this man? [More…]
The depths of public immorality to which this country has sunk under the leadership of this man are displayed, of course, in the man himself, in his public utterances on matters of this kind. [More…]
Here I want to remark briefly on the need to protect youngsters from the improper processing within the legal system, amounting to harassment in many cases, which in some instances takes place at the hands of the police in the conduct of their investigations. [More…]
The police suspected this young fellow of being involved in a Fagin-type gang, breaking and entering into homes and stealing, organised by an older man. [More…]
I think this creates an impression in the community that if one can get away with it well and good, one has beaten the tax man and it is up to him to come up with a remedy, if he can, in time for the next financial year. [More…]
Almost four years ago, the man who is now Prime Minister of this country . [More…]
The happiest man in the country after last night’s Budget should not be too hard to lind. [More…]
I am sorry if the lady from Tasmania is in trouble again. [More…]
For the benefit of the lady from Tasmania, they are small settlements, very similar to the town from which she comes. [More…]
The next document concerns Little Johnny, who is a little old man living at Kowanyama for whom the State Health Department provided a wheelchair, which was taken away from him by the Queensland Department of Aboriginal and Islander Advancement. [More…]
Little Johnny is an old man and should have the wheelchair with him constantly so that he is mobile. [More…]
I am disgusted that the chair has been taken away from this almost totally disabled man and I sincerely hope that your Department will take strong action to see that the chair is made available to him for his use and his use alone. [More…]
I refer to comments made on the radio program AM yesterday by the Premier of Queensland to the effect, as I understand it, that Senator Bonner is promoting land rights for militant black people rather than good black people and that such action is dividing Australia into a black man’s country and a white man’s country. [More…]
First of all there is the revelation of the expenditure by the CIA in the early 1 970s- this was revealed in 1971- of something like $300m annually in supporting a 26,000 man army in Laos without any public knowledge or accountability of the expenditure. [More…]
Mr White, the man who made the allegations in Parliament also hit the headlines in another story today. [More…]
Undoubtedly the letter that he has received from the Treasurer (Mr Howard) alerts him to some facts about which I thought he, as a well educated man, would know. [More…]
The performance of the honourable senator and his colleagues over the years has been way down on the bottom rung compared with the performance of the Premier of Queensland. [More…]
He is a man of outstanding quality and a man who, I think, has no peer in the way he conducts his office in Australia. [More…]
Senator Colston raised a question about the most honourable man in Victoria. [More…]
Councillor Ian Rice has been a member of the Melbourne City Council, the prime council in Victoria for many years. [More…]
He is a most respectable businessman. [More…]
I know of no occasion when anyone in my State of Victoria has raised any question as to the integrity of Ian Rice or the manner in which he conducts his affairs. [More…]
I have respected him for the public attitude that he has taken on many occasions. [More…]
Perhaps you are a man of strength. [More…]
I think perhaps you are likely to be a man who within the next day or so will go outside the Parliament and make your allegations against Ian Rice and prove yourself to be a man of quality. [More…]
He probably is a man with the character to do so. [More…]
Senator Colston’s purpose in raising this matter was not to denigrate anyone outside this Parliament; it was to show that some sort of racket was being carried out by the man who Senator Webster called the most honest man in Australia, again a man who is not above suspicion in regard to his honesty. [More…]
-Will the Minister ask the Treasurer to seek from this magic man information on how he is able to produce these figures, or is there some doubt about the credibility of this Premier? [More…]
Bob, 1 want the North Vietnamese to think there is a mad man in the White House and I want them to realise that this mad man has his linger on the nuclear button. [More…]
But the Americans, supported again by us, placed in control of Cambodia during that time a monster of a man called Lon Nol, one of the great heroin pedlars of the Golden Triangle. [More…]
It is a criticism of the insanity of the human race that we could fly in 700 tons of food and double that amount of weapons in war time and yet say that it cannot be done and do not take the necessary steps when two million people are faced with starvation. [More…]
It is pertinent for us to realise that those comments were made by a man who obviously enjoys a very high standing in Australia’s money market. [More…]
Who is the first man who comes along to whom he decides to be loyal? [More…]
If one were to look at the statistics for migrants for the first six months of this year or, better still, at the report of the Committee on the Determination of Refugee Status- the DORS committee- one would find that 400 people had their tourist visas converted to permit permanent residence in this country. [More…]
But they are being brought into a tight manpower situation and we do not ask the refugees what their job skills are. [More…]
Many of them come in family groups. [More…]
This is different from the situation we had in the past, when the man was the breadwinner and people probably did not have a home paid off until they were about 59 or 60 years old, if they had it paid off even then. [More…]
That is a charge on income tax, of course, but during a year in which a man was working overtime he would pay more and during the lean years he would pay less. [More…]
Last year I met a high-ranking American company director, a man in his 70s, who had a few scotchs and became very nostalgic about his experiences in Peru in 1936, when Indians in Gstrings that is all they wore- were working in the underground mines. [More…]
A gentleman called, I think, Green Dog, a nonunion truckie, opened Pandora’s Box as far as petrol tax exemptions and other things are concerned. [More…]
Too many rigs are on the road. [More…]
I do not mind if people say that there should be competition and the best man should win. [More…]
There are too many trucks and because they damage the roads we all have to face a bigger impost in the form of petrol tax. [More…]
Mr Alston who has had a very long association for so young a person with the United Nations Association of Australia, is a man whose views should be considered seriously by government senators, if not by Country Party senators. [More…]
The regulations do have some relationship to the seamen who man our ships, and that is particularly important. [More…]
Some years ago I spoke to the then South Australian Minister responsible for conservation and wildlife about whether, if modern technological development was such that it was decided not to man off-shore lighthouses off the South Australian coast, the South Australian Government would want to preserve those areas as off-shore wildlife refuges. [More…]
Although I could not find a reference to it in the Bill, I understand from the Seamen’s Union that a seamen who is injured receives for the first three months full pay and after that $80 a week if he is a single man, $90 a week and so on. [More…]
Correspondingly, a man with dependants will receive more. [More…]
Yet weeks later the Queensland Government was prepared to enter into an agreement with the Commonwealth concerning the management of the reef region. [More…]
Yet we still allow that man’s private interests to dictate what is being done on a matter of great national significance. [More…]
The Federated Ship Painters and Dockers Union supports this man. [More…]
You cannot say in this place that a man is a liar. [More…]
I repeat: Senator Chipp has just spoken; Senator Chipp, the man who discovered principles when Mr Fraser sacked him from the ministry in 1975. [More…]
I do not want to become involved in a debate with the man who discovered principles when he was sacked from the Ministry nearly four years ago. [More…]
I think that the more Senator Carrick speaks in this place the more we realise that he is a man of double standards. [More…]
Yet tonight this man was provoked by an uncalled for attack by Senator Harradine. [More…]
A man’s liberty of movement is regarded so highly by the law of England that it is not to be hindered or prevented except on the surest grounds. [More…]
One prominent commercial man told me that he’d been signing his wife’s name on cheques and documents for the past 20 years to save her the trouble. [More…]
Another told me that many of the practices which seemed to make Finnane wide-eyed with wonder were run-of-the-mill in private companies. [More…]
It is endemic in many of the countries of South East Asia. [More…]
The simple fact is that if this disease, one of the worst infectious diseases known to man, reaches our shores the chances of controlling it are extremely remote. [More…]
But the human animal being what he is, people still attempt to introduce into this country pets which potentially can carry rabies. [More…]
One can imagine the potential costs in money and in human suffering if some of the other diseases and pests known to man get through our quarantine barrier. [More…]
We in this Parliament are just as responsible as the Department and the bureaucracy to which I referred because we did not pay sufficient attention to what this man was saying. [More…]
I am very grateful for the fact that the Standing Committee on National Resources of which Senator Thomas is the chairman has seen fit to take evidence from a number of people around Australia, including Mr Toomer. [More…]
He is the man, I believe, who is most capable of judging whether this amendment to the Quarantine Act is adequate or whether we are not just hiding our heads in the sand and we will have to sit back and wait once again for another Bill Toomer to appear on the scene. [More…]
Then what would be the risk to every man, woman and child in Australia. [More…]
These are diseases which are endemic in many parts of the world but which are exotic to Australia. [More…]
If there is an appeal against the discretion of the Minister, we want grounds so that a man can establish in accordance with this legislation that the Minister was wrong . [More…]
I was not imputing any improper motives to the Prime Minister, I was just mentioning- I think it is a matter of record once again- that Mr Fraser is a highly subjective man and that he is well aware of the financial benefits to Western District landholders through the subsidy on superphosphate. [More…]
They will have to answer for this man who has caused all the industrial trouble in factories by his three revaluations . [More…]
This is the man who belittled his former Deputy Prime Minister - [More…]
It is doing so, firstly, in the face of opposition by Sir Richard Kirby, a man who for 17 years was at the pinnacle of the conciliation and arbitration process in Australia, a most respected elder statesman of the conciliation and arbitration process, and a protector of its integrity. [More…]
Sir John Moore is a man who towers above all others in the field of industrial relations in Australia. [More…]
Sir Richard Kirby, the former President of the Arbitration Commission, the man who was President of the Commission for some 1 7 years, said that in his opinion the Government was trying to tell the Commission how to conduct its business. [More…]
By stripping a man of his civil rights, he becomes to that extent an outlaw. [More…]
A man at any point of time is either within or without the law. [More…]
This proposal seeks power to put a man outside the law and to do it withal by executive act. [More…]
The town is Fitzroy Crossing and the man involved is Stan Davey, a former community welfare officer. [More…]
Perhaps one of the reasons that I have to do it is that very little news that emanates from Western Australia is repeated in newspapers of the eastern States. [More…]
The previous sergeant, a Sergeant Westerside had been most appreciative of the black people’s problems and obviously had commanded their respect. [More…]
He was prepared to listen to them and accept that their way of life was different from that of the white man. [More…]
Whether the white man’s way is the good one or not is something that honourable senators will have to determine for themselves. [More…]
One of the people who did not know that the meeting was on was a man who was very much involved in community affairs. [More…]
How many Aboriginals attended the meeting? [More…]
He has been working with our community since the start of 1973, and he has done many things to help us. [More…]
He was the first white man to come to this place to help Aborigines. [More…]
He has taught us how to do many things for ourselves. [More…]
We want to know who is the man writing a letter to try and do this. [More…]
Many newspaper articles have been written about the work of Stan Davey in the Aboriginal community and the regard that the Aboriginal community has for that man. [More…]
Parkwood Eggs are sold in Half Case Warehouses and Mighty Man supermarkets. [More…]
With respect to the transfer of the State public servant, I understand from what Senator Coleman has put before the Senate and from what I have read in the newspaper, that the State Minister has asserted that the transfer was in the normal course of the administration of his Department. [More…]
I certainly found Mr Davey to be a man whom I thought to be very serious about his work and a man whom I believe was acting in good faith. [More…]
Inflation is the hidden thief of one’s life savings, the destroyer of sound long-term decision-making and of business confidence, the conjuror of stable economic relativities, the tax man’s opportunity to bite even deeper into the wage earner’s pocket, and the disappearing opportunity for the average Australian to own his own home. [More…]
However, the statistics issued by the Bureau refer to disputes involving 10 or more man days lost. [More…]
One was working without any supervision and the other had behind him a German SS official with a pistol. [More…]
I think most of us interpreted that to mean that the chap who did not have the SS man alongside his lathe had freedom to negotiate. [More…]
Consider the dispute in Sydney over one-man buses. [More…]
Then, over a period of time the employer changed the manning. [More…]
There can be disputes over manning. [More…]
Was Mr Street sincere- I believe him to be a most sincere man- in assuring Sir John Moore that things would be done in the normal way, or has something happened since Mr Street left Sir John Moore? [More…]
When we have this unique experience of a judge putting in writing his views about the constitutionality and the impropriety of the legislation- surely a process that is available to any member of the Australian community and to his fellow judges- we have the underhand activity of the Minister for Industrial Relations, Mr Street, and the Prime Minister, seeking to score cheap political capital out of a courageous attempt being made by one man to express a contrary point of view. [More…]
Or, as one of my colleagues said in another debate, will it come back to one man having to sit in judgment on all of these matters? [More…]
So one man- the Prime Minister- will be able to decide the future of a trade union. [More…]
He pointed out that one man’s wage increase costs another man his job. [More…]
He was a great public servant, a great lawyer and a man who should be listened to with great respect. [More…]
He reminded me of the story of a man who did not have a foot in three camps, only because he had only two legs. [More…]
I am at a loss to understand how a man could so passionately voice his opposition to a Bill and then, in the last sentence, say that nevertheless he will vote for it. [More…]
He is a man who, throughout his adult life, has been associated with the trade union movement, including the Australian Railways Union. [More…]
On the other hand, we have had the experience of Senator Bishop, a veteran in industrial relations and a man of wide experience, offering to this chamber the benefit of a lifetime experience in the industrial movement. [More…]
Surely, when a man of his experience, standing and industrial knowledge goes on the public record and so strongly criticises the provisions of the Bill, any responsible Government or group of people would sit up and take notice. [More…]
If the criticisms of Sir Richard Kirby were not enough we also have the statements from Mr Justice Staples, a man whose remarks have been quoted by honourable senators who have spoken before me. [More…]
He is a man of great industrial experience. [More…]
Sir Richard Kirby, a man of impeccable standing in the field of industrial relations, has said: [More…]
I have been to a shunting yard at night in pouring rain where, if a man slips under an engine, he will lose his legs. [More…]
In the course of a year many men are killed in this way. [More…]
Is it any wonder that important people such as Sir Richard Kirby- a man one would think had retired from the scene- decided to state publicly on Nationwide tonight that the proposals are wrong and should not be carried. [More…]
The man might be very ill by now. [More…]
In the very scant document emanating from the consultations last night between Sir John Moore and the Minister there is a clear indication that Sir John Moore, drawing on his vast experience, his legal knowledge, his practical knowledge of the workings of the arbitration system, found it difficult to determine the meaning of ‘consult’. [More…]
If a man of that vast experience and legal talent does not know whether consult’ involves the approval of the deputy president and whether the deputy president can direct a commissioner, if those questions arise in the minds of Sir John Moore and the commissioners of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission, why has not the Minister, rather than putting his own opinion of what the words involve, come into this Parliament with some amendments which clarify the meaning of consult’, along the lines indicated in the statement emanating from last night’s meeting? [More…]
Many good comments have been made from this side of the House in opposition to this Bill. [More…]
Most of them are silvertails, born with silver spoons in their mouths, never had to work for a living and have not any idea at all of what a working man has got to put up with to try and eke a living out of this country. [More…]
I could name many. [More…]
What I am saying is that this is no legislation that has just come in now because this Government cannot cope with unemployment, cannot cope with many of the broken promises. [More…]
I well recall when I was a boy in the work force ex-Prime Minister Menzies saying that the best foreman you could get on any jobwas 30 men waiting at the gates for one man’s job. [More…]
You did not need a foreman because they were all afraid of their jobs. [More…]
I have been in the work force for many years. [More…]
I have been a trade union officer, out on the job, out in the back country, and I know that no working man goes on strike without good reason. [More…]
Yet we have people opposite saying that at the drop of a hat man goes on strike. [More…]
In most cases he has a legitimate reason for going on strike and in many cases he is provoked into doing so. [More…]
They would not even vote on the Budget while the man who is now the Prime Minister was out at Yarralumla organising the overthrow of the Whitlam Government. [More…]
If a man is a bit militant and he sticks up for his rights, he is immediately tabbed a militant member of the community and, in lots of cases, a communist. [More…]
We heard an honourable senator from Tasmania trying to denigrate Justice [More…]
Nevertheless, a saying that has come up time without number is that one man’s wage increase will cost another man his job. [More…]
Surely to goodness we cannot say that because the workers are looking to increase their wages so that they can live with dignity in 1979 this is costing another man his job. [More…]
From 1971 to 1974 the manufacturing industries created 10,800 more jobs a year; community services, 36,500; wholesale and retail traders, 36,400; finance, 13,200; and public administration, 1 1,400, making a total of 108,000 new jobs a year between 1971 and 1974. [More…]
Three Aboriginals were employed for varying short periods totalling 14 man weeks in April and May 1979 by Jaxone Pty Ltd. [More…]
A man with the compassion of Senator Grimes appreciates fully what is involved, as I think does the Minister at the table. [More…]
Recently I met a top electronics man who was allegedly a political refugee from Rumania. [More…]
1 have quoted Mr Cameron, a man whom I value as a friend and whom I regarded as an excellent Minister. [More…]
A high-ranking officer in the Department of Foreign Affairs, Mr Henderson, was a foreign officer in Manila and he was responsible for the subsequent muck-up. [More…]
At the moment I am negotiating with the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs (Mr MacKellar) on behalf a man who is in an Adelaide gaol. [More…]
I am having difficulties with the Minister because, amongst other crimes which this man committed, while he was on a working visa in Australia he drew unemployment benefits. [More…]
On checking with Mr Sullivan from the Commonwealth Employment Services in Adelaide, who had checked with the Department of Social Security, I found that the man had a full entitlement to those benefits. [More…]
Obviously if a married man is deported, the wife can ask to be deported with her children too. [More…]
Although a man is living with a de facto wife, he cannot get the wife ‘s allowance because he is not married. [More…]
You, Madam Deputy Chair, should be on the floor fighting for this recognition of the woman who lives in a de facto relationship - this is happening more frequently- and has child responsibilities. [More…]
The dictionary definition and the Taxation Office’s definition preclude forever the de facto wife, who could have had 1 5 or 18 years in partnership with a man, from being deported at the time the authorities check up on the man and decide to deport him. [More…]
Is the Minister aware of the media reports of a speech over the weekend by Mr Ian Spicer of the Victorian Employers Federation in which he stated that the man hours lost to commerce and industry through accidents at the work place are 40 times those lost due to industrial disputes and cost the community many hundreds of millions of dollars? [More…]
Is the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs aware that three Aboriginal children and a young Aboriginal woman were sentenced to a period of nine years and two months gaol for their alleged involvement in an incident which resulted in the death of a man at Huckitta Station in the Northern Territory on 1 January this year? [More…]
Similarly, a married man aged 69 with a wife aged 66 receiving reduced pensions, at say $30 a week each, because of the income test will, when the husband reaches 70 years of age, have his pension increased to $42.90 a week, but his wife will continue to receive a pension subject to the usual income test provisions until she reaches 70 years, whereupon her pension will also be increased to the basic free of income test pension rate. [More…]
I contend- and I think honourable senators will find that the people with some experience in industry will support the idea- that it is better to have a young man in any occupation in which he can learn the industry, the management policies of the industry and the style of employment and management at any level and thus equip himself for training at a later stage, than to try to enforce upon him the training for a job that he may never get. [More…]
He was not a socialist but he was an active man who did not sit back and allow market forces to take their place. [More…]
The Government has to justify excluding that group and demonstrate why a 45-year-old man or a 45-year-old spinster who has been working all his or her life and paying taxes should suddenly not be eligible for the protection against inflation that everybody else in the community is entitled to. [More…]
I was given the example of a man who works night shift for many years and, upon reaching the age of 55 or 56 years, becomes tired and fed up with it and wants to change his employment. [More…]
A married man with two children would have received, including family allowances, some 50.5 per cent of average weekly earnings at December 1978, compared with 48.4 per cent at the end of 1975. [More…]
Another example I give is that the Yugoslav navy was relatively small, but small groups of people would have worked in conjunction with the Royal Navy on what I would call Adriatic adventures, miniature commando raids and combined operations of that nature. [More…]
I ask that question because I have a case of a man living in the Hume electorate who probably was one of about 15 noncommissioned officers in the Royal Australia Artillery at the commencement of World War II. [More…]
Yet when an Australian company with a major Queensland association, when an Australian company which is efficient and competent wants to maximise the utilisation of the total capitalist system, in which I happen to believe and which I think is efficient only if market forces are allowed to operate, a man who purports to be in support of a private enterprise system- since he has been Premier, in the period from 1 97 1 to 1 979, he has increased the Public Service by over 30 per cent whilst private employment in that State has increased by less than 14 per cent- wishes to move in and prevent the market forces from operating to enable efficiency, which is after all the criterion on which the whole thing is based, and to prevent the company from having a go. [More…]
I ask the Minister: In view of this man’s meritorious services to his Queen and country in World War II, Korea, the Malaysian emergency, and Vietnam, will he reconsider this matter? [More…]
However, if it is finally established that Warrant Officer Simpson’s cause of death cannot be war related, in view of this man’s outstanding gallantry and unparalleled military career, will the Minister consider granting an ex gratia payment or pension to the widow, Shoko Simpson, as a mark of respect and of this nation’s gratitude to this gallant son of Australia? [More…]
If that is the case, can we have an assurance that the representative of the Department of Foreign Affairs on the Committee on the Determination of Refugee Status, which will in the very near future be considering permanent residence for a Sydney power station worker, Roger Guttierrez, a Bolivian national, is fully aware of all those facts and what would face that man if he were deported? [More…]
I was very disappointed in Mr Hayden ‘s speech, because he is a man for whom I do have a respect and a friendship. [More…]
They are members of a police force that has had since its inception, and continues to have, a manic hatred of the Federal Narcotics Bureau. [More…]
I do not want to malign Mr Davis, formerly Commissioner Davis- and if I do, Mr President, please stop me- but I can testify that when I was Minister for Customs this gentleman, a dedicated public servant, openly declared his hostility to the Customs Department and to the Federal Bureau of Narcotics. [More…]
He is the man who is now advising the Department of Administrative Services on police and other matters. [More…]
Is the Government going to leave this man out there to burn? [More…]
I am amazed that a man of the experience of Mr Justice Williams would fall for the three card trick of considering statistics in determining the worth of a police officer. [More…]
Not one person in this chamber has not met that offensive policeman or law enforcement officer who will pinch someone for travelling at 51 kilometres an hour, for jay walking or for some other piffling offence. [More…]
He might be a bad police officer, but as long as he gets the runs on the board, even if they are leg byes, if that term appeals to Senator Coleman, it does not matter how he gets them. [More…]
As long as the runs are on the board he can say to his superior: ‘What a good policeman I am. [More…]
Does that make a good policeman? [More…]
I would not have thought that the Government and the Minister, for whom I have unbounded admiration as a man, would be fooled by this sort of information. [More…]
In conclusion, the Australian Democrats would not oppose this move if the integrity, the autonomy and the cohesiveness of the Federal Narcotics Bureau could be moved into the Australian Federal Police as a unit, with all its intelligence, its training and its back-up, and kept as a unit under the control of this magnificent man, Sir Colin Woods. [More…]
But I did it in good spirit because I hope that the new Commissioner, this magnificent man, Sir Colin Woods, will read the record of this debate and at least will know of the deep concern being expressed by some members of this Senate. [More…]
With such unfair compensation, given the extenuating circumstances and the ridicule that this man has suffered, often by irresponsible statements and assumptions by those who should know better, livestock producers placed in similar circumstances may quietly dispose of suspect animals or, alternatively, hope that potentially serious complaints could be contained. [More…]
The sorts of stories which I heard and which prompted me to say something publicly in Tasmania should not have been uttered by the people who uttered them. [More…]
The sort of rumour mongering which has gone on because this man has been in the difficult situation in which he has been, and perhaps even because he was not Australian born, reflects the sort of xenophobia that we should not see or experience in this country. [More…]
One can expect rumours, but one should not expect the sorts of rumours that have gone around about this man and his family. [More…]
I think we should look carefully at whether the compensation has been adequate, whether it has adequately compensated the man for his income and for any loss of profit that he may have had. [More…]
Also when a man relies on the production from such a property for his sustenance and income something must be done to ensure that his livelihood is put back into a reasonably satisfactory position. [More…]
The loss of working time is about six million man days per annum. [More…]
We got the tired old arguments from the Attorney-General, with the most extraordinary logic for a man who has been trained in the legal profession. [More…]
The Minister for Defence (Mr Killen)- well known as the froth and bubble man of the Government- was even more outraged in the debate in Parliament on 27 September when he said: [More…]
Minister for the Capital Territory (Mr Ellicott), who is best remembered as the man who spent six hours poring over Khemlani ‘s suitcases in Sydney on or about 13 October 1975 and who, before departing from Sydney airport, told journalists that the documents in the cases did not incriminate Mr Whitlam. [More…]
They no longer see it as an ex-Victorian, ex-New South Welshman, exQueenslander, ex-Tasmanian, ex-South Australian or ex- Western Australian. [More…]
They do not see Australia as a State man. [More…]
They see Australia as a Canberra man, and there is no doubt that I would do the same if I were born, educated and lived in Canberra. [More…]
I am bound to say that a man named Hawke, in his capacity as a member of the Board of the Reserve Bank of Australia said this, and a man named Hawke, in his capacity as a member of the Crawford Study Group said this. [More…]
Let the Australian people realise- the State Premiers already do- the significance and implications if this man is returned after the next election and allowed to continue with his policy of Fraser federalism. [More…]
Tonight I raise a matter that concerns a young Aboriginal man named Eric Kyle, who is the Project Officer for the Department of Aboriginal Affairs in Queensland. [More…]
They raised their family in much the same way as many Australian families are raised- to respect law and authority and all those things that most Australians hold dear. [More…]
I do not care whether a man is a member of the Australian Labor Party, of the National Country Party or of whatever party he wants to belong to. [More…]
This is referring to Mr Kyle’s comments in relation to the allegations by Mr Bertoni- was not tabled by Mr Bertoni and I am informed the writer was an Aboriginal man who is well known amongst the Aboriginal community and those who know the community. [More…]
They will be transfered and there will not be a crew there to man the train when it is required, particularly in the harvest season. [More…]
A very fair-minded man. [More…]
He is a man who has great knowledge about the situation, who has collated and painstakingly collected data on the subject and who carefully collects the reports that come in. [More…]
The report added that the Australian Government’s aid was lacking not in quantity but in the management of its distribution. [More…]
Among the witnesses from whom we heard was Mr Leonid Plyushch, a Soviet citizen, a man who was allowed to leave the Soviet Union as a result of pressure which was applied by the French Left, by the French trade unions, by the French Communist Party, and who still described himself as a Marxist. [More…]
There was Professor Voronel, an eminent physicist, a man of Jewish origin who had never practised the religion of Judaism, who did not speak Hebrew, who belonged to no Jewish organisations, who was not interested in going to Israel, but who, through the very fact that on his internal passport the word ‘Jew’ was printed, found it impossible to carry on his profession as a physicist. [More…]
There was Mr Kalnins, a Latvian, a man born and bred in the Latvian Communist Party, whose father was one of the Latvian Red Guards who stormed the Winter Palace in 1917. [More…]
He was another man who, because he was prepared to speak out on the rights of the Latvian national minority, of Latvian culture and of the Latvian language, found himself placed in the most awful situations which he described to us, which can be found in the transcript of evidence and which have now made it necessary for him to leave his own country of Latvia which he never wanted to leave and to which he wants to return. [More…]
I want officers of the Department of Immigration to be here when I ask questions about this man. [More…]
I have always regarded Senator Bonner as a champion of human rights, of human values, and as a man who will speak up for the oppressed and for the minority groups. [More…]
One man was lying there in the middle benches with one of his colleagues slapping his face and another shaking his feet; and they still could not wake him up. [More…]
He may get a little niche in the report that is written by the Human Rights Commission. [More…]
When one looks at the situation in New Zealand, one finds that the Race Relations Commissioner, Mr H. L. Dansey, is a Human Rights Commissioner. [More…]
In New Zealand one man deals with race relations- a very important part of human rights in New Zealand- yet at the same time he is a commissioner. [More…]
These statements were made by a man who is not hostile to the present Government. [More…]
He is a man of great integrity and ability for whom I have a great deal of respect. [More…]
A legislative framework to provide for the protection of human rights based upon the belief that simply stating that rights exist and hoping that somebody else at some other time will act to protect them is, in fact, an insufficient way of securing those rights. [More…]
He particularly talked about the pretended rights of man in one of his works. [More…]
The pretended rights of man which have made this havoc - [More…]
I must say that I regret that this Bill in no way, despite its pretensions, falls into the general movement for the protection of human rights which has swept the world since the Second World War. [More…]
Chief Justice Holt, a great chief justice, born in 1642, Chief Justice at the age of 23 years, Chief Justice for 41 years- not some woolly-minded academic- a man who was harsh on treason and sedition but who held out against the prosecution of witches, who adopted a liberal construction on statutes compelling church attendance, a man who was concerned with human rights and who used his unparallelled position as Chief Justice for 41 years to secure them, said of that elementary maxim: ‘Whenever the common law gives a right it also gives a remedy’. [More…]
If a man has a right he must have a means to vindicate and maintain it and a remedy if he is injured in the exercise and enjoyment of it. [More…]
Is it a fact that such a scheme would be very regressive, of little value to a low income family, but worth more than $5,000 a year to a professional man with a taxable income of $50,000? [More…]
I heard of a case in which a man and his wife were earning $ 1 ,000 a week. [More…]
He was a man who nevertheless was very hard on sedition and treason. [More…]
For example, the human rights legislation which was introduced by the then Senator Murphy went further with certain judicial and effective remedies, such as preventing evidence obtained in contravention of a Bill of Rights being effectively used in a court. [More…]
That is a very salutory way of ensuring that in the course of a criminal investigation the police do not abuse the human rights of those who are involved in the investigation. [More…]
I have seen the work that the man has done. [More…]
As I have said time and time again, there is no power in them to stop people committing the kinds of stupid acts committed by a man such as John Singleton. [More…]
I am disgusted that this man can get away with this. [More…]
I have always felt that the Bulletin is a good publication- I read it myself- but I do not know how it could allow somebody to publish such an article which says so many things about so many Aboriginal people. [More…]
Democracy requires respect for human rights, as it requires acceptance of the rule of law. [More…]
If we analyse democracy a little further we see that it also demands a society of equality, of a degree of equity for all of its citizens. [More…]
So when we speak of human rights we must examine a wider application than merely the rights of an individual. [More…]
I refer to the occasion on 1 1 November 1975 when the act of one man, coupled with those of a few others, was able to make a great impact upon the political life of this country. [More…]
Since the beginning of time people have sought the good life, liberty and human rights. [More…]
But man has always known that those values needed qualification. [More…]
The early Jews, Christians and Moslems valued obedience to the law, both human and divine, above individual rights. [More…]
All these different systems crashed into the Inchape Rock of human nature, because they needed goodwill to implement the policies that they wanted. [More…]
The subject of human rights is very much a question of respect for one’s neighbour, for the other fellow. [More…]
As it is a subject which is of that character, the strength of the protection of human rights is very much a question of attitude of mind and commitment to a principle of respect for the other fellow; for the individual as such. [More…]
Because it is a subject of that kind the strength of the human rights movement in any country depends in the end on education, on promotion of those principles and on the philosophy of people. [More…]
So long as man has been associated in society, he has made attempts to achieve a better working relationship with his follow members of that society and it is as a result of that that we have developed our legal and political institutions, right back to the Dark Ages. [More…]
Anybody who has studied the history of government and of law is well aware of the fact that over the millennia of his existence man has made attempts- some successful and some not so successful- to improve his lot and the lot of his fellow men, as well as the rights of his fellow men. [More…]
The then Prime Minister- I think he held the portfolio of Attorney-General at various times, although he was not a legal man- William Morris Hughes, created the Commonwealth Police. [More…]
Constable Theodorakis then rang the number given to him by the man Hadjipanyiotis to him. [More…]
Again this came from the man who was closely involved in discussions as to how much would be paid to a witness who was present on the night of the raids and who had taken a close interest in it through the Commissioner of Police and through Detective Chief Inspector Thomas. [More…]
In closing, I say that it should be absolutely no surprise to anyone that this has happened under this Government when the third man in the Government has been a major participant in, firstly, land speculation with insider knowledge, with insider assistance - [More…]
I have found that he has been warmly received at many of the ethnic groups and societies whose meetings I have attended. [More…]
Under the Racial Discrimination Amendment Bill which has yet to be discussed in detail, Mr Grassby is to be under the direction of the Human Rights Commission. [More…]
How extraordinary it is that the one man who has already had the experience should be under the direction of a Commission that has not so far had the experience or the opportunity to meet on an equal plane. [More…]
Although I do not see this proposed amendment as providing an ideal solution I see it as securing fundamental justice, and not just for this man. [More…]
It meets the requirement that we should not in any way turn the racial discrimination administration into a defective organisation; that we should not create a situation in which there will be a clash between the Human Rights Commission and the Commissioner for Community Relations. [More…]
For these reasons I have moved this amendment, which I regard as extremely important to the continuing operation of racial discrimination oversight and the most effective working of the Human Rights Commission. [More…]
It seems ludicrous to me that we are setting up the Human Rights Commission and that part and parcel of that Commission will be the Racial Discrimination Act under which the person holding the office of the Commissioner for Community Relations is to work. [More…]
When these people find that something is wrong the first thing they do is to get in touch with the Commissioner for Community Relations- not necessarily the man but the Office- because of the way he has been able to achieve many things on their behalf. [More…]
I think Mr Everett, who made the long speech lasting three hours before Lincoln’s three-minute Gettysburg Address, is forgotten by history and Lincoln is the man who is remembered. [More…]
He is a man who never raised conscientious objection to joining the AUS or a student association while at the ANU. [More…]
It is interesting to stop for half a moment and consider what manner of man is this Mr Yabsley. [More…]
He told me he had seen a lot of Michael when he was in Australia and that this young man was a great help to him and a really great ambassador for South Africa. [More…]
It is quite conceivable indeed that the young man in question was being victimised, although technically he was guilty. [More…]
Knowing all this the Liberal Party in Western Australia, with the full support of Sir Charles Court and some other prominent Western Australian Liberals, especially State politicians, and in spite of the spirited opposition of Senator Durack and Senator Withers, has endorsed this man, Crichton-Browne, as a member of its Senate team for the next election. [More…]
Does the Fraser Government believe that a Liberal Party State Government dominated by people like that who are quite happy to put a man like Crichton-Browne on their Senate ticket and who almost put him in front of a senior Minister of the Fraser Government, Senator Durack, will crack down on corporate malpractice? [More…]
I have not said anything about another State government of which the commercial business behaviour of many of its senior members has caused eyebrows to be raised all over the rest of Australia and, indeed, in Queensland itself- that is, of course, the Queensland Government. [More…]
A man is entitled to his good name and it should not be besmirched by remarks in this place, particularly when proceedings which were taken against him have been dismissed. [More…]
1 ) Is it the practice of the Department of Social Security, where a widow’s pension or a supporting parent’s benefit is cancelled by the Department on the ground that the pensioner or beneficiary is living on a bona fide domestic basis with a man, or woman, as husband and wife, to: (a) provide notice of its intention to cancel; (b) give the pensioner or beneficiary details of the evidence on which it concludes that there are grounds for disqualification; and (c) allow the pensioner or beneficiary an opportunity to rebut that evidence. [More…]
He added that each of their ways of life ‘is penetrated from top to bottom by the same system of ideas, so that a man can give theological or metaphysical reasons for the way in which he cooks his dinner’. [More…]
Nothing could be a greater contrast to the Protestant work ethic than India’s Hinduism, a religion of natural order, of predestination manifest in fixed castes, with a transmigration of souls in union and reunion with the absolute spirit. [More…]
It is hardly an accident that so many of India’s modern entrepreneurs and industrialists are Parsees, that is Zoroastrians not Hindus. [More…]
In the words of the Lord Buddha himself, ‘man must renounce the craving for prosperity’. [More…]
It is impossible for a man, keeping a wife, to live with any reasonable security on $6,000.I believe that such tax increases are totally unjustified. [More…]
I wrote to the head man at the Customs Bureau, a Mr Cody, and he admitted that no attempt had been made to hide the watch but said that he could not take it upon himself to return it. [More…]
I assured them that the seaman, Yong, did not deliberately attempt to break that law; that it was simply a mistake on his part. [More…]
That is similar to the scale that was used in speaking of the army- for every man at the front there were six behind him. [More…]
I have come to the opinion that some women feel they have to be more militant about a Public Service screed than a man. [More…]
I refer to the Age of Monday in which there appeared threats made by a group from the Croatian community about a dispute between the Government of Yugoslavia and West Germany over a former Australian resident, a Mr Dragoja. [More…]
If this particular man overseas has an Australian passport, and he may have, he may well have some claim for mediation by the Australian officials in West Germany. [More…]
Every time we ask these questions and every time we are given the same stock answer the Government is proving that this Prime Minister is a man of double standards. [More…]
I am concerned as to whether this man has a free telephone and what it is costing the taxpayer. [More…]
The more serious matter is the fact that the Australian Government is now in hock to overseas lenders to the extent of $6, 628m, virtually all of which has been incurred under the prime ministership of the man who said that we would not put Australia into hock. [More…]
To my mind there is only one other department in relation to which we cannot get information on expenditure- and I have asked many questions about that- and that was the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation. [More…]
I have pointed out on many occasions in this Parliament the fact that departments appropriated a certain amount of money in each Budget and that it spent a certain amount of money, not a cent less and not a cent more. [More…]
I want him to tell me under what part of the Constitution he can refuse giving an answer to the Parliament about the expenses incurred by this man in the use of his telephone. [More…]
Why has one man the right to spend taxpayers’ money without we, the custodians of the taxpayers’ money, being able to find out whether it has been soundly or properly spent in the performance of his duties? [More…]
The man concerned does not have the money to carry on. [More…]
I rang the Registrar of the Family Court in Adelaide and spoke to his secretary, who advised me that if I got the solicitor of the person concerned to write to the Registrar the Registrar might put that man’s name higher up on the list. [More…]
However, I did ring the man’s solicitor and gave him that information. [More…]
But now that you have spoken to the Registrar’s secretary and got that information, I will write to the Registrar and see whether he will place the man ‘s name higher on the list’. [More…]
It is like so many other wastes in our society. [More…]
Like others who dispose of all sorts of commodities that the garbage man will not pick up we utilise the cheapest and easiest means to dispose of our waste. [More…]
We find in 1975 at Gundermmingen in the Federal Republic of Germany two deaths followed a leak of 800 litres of radioactive steam during vent repairs. [More…]
The man contracted leukaemia. [More…]
The AAEC admitted liability by paying compensation to the man’s widow. [More…]
On 26 August 1978 at the Titan nuclear base in Kansas one man was killed and six injured when deadly fumes leaked from an intercontinental ballistic missile which was being filled with propellant. [More…]
Whilst the Department is doing that I ask the Minister through you, Mr Chairman, whether he would provide information as to whether the amount of money reimbursed to the Tasmanian Trades and Labour Council from the department is in fact money which ought rightly to belong to the Tasmanian Trades and Labour Council or is it money which the State Government now seeks to have returned to it? [More…]
I remind the Senate that it was this very man Keogh about whom Senator O’Byrne said something in the [More…]
But why is this man given some special authority to make design changes to the building? [More…]
This has been done at the behest of one man. [More…]
Earlier tonight Senator Walsh was suspended from the service of the Senate because he passed certain remarks about the Chief Justice, Sir Garfield Barwick, that old, old man of Australian law. [More…]
Recently I was at the top end of Cape York and I met a gentleman. [More…]
There is a man who had been flying for weeks with two people but he did not even know the names of his fellow workers. [More…]
Mr Chairman, I do not know what you are going to do about the rest of the program. [More…]
It is obvious that he is the man who has been pointing the gun at the heads of Government supporters and persuading them to sit here until this hour of the day. [More…]
We were, I believe to a man, impressed on several grounds with the value and nature of Australian developmental aid through the area. [More…]
I have said before that I believe the new head of this police force, Sir Colin Woods, whom this Bill virtually installs in that position by its change of name, is a magnificent man. [More…]
Although he is a magnificent person, in the United Kingdom he looked at his role as a policeman rather as being a political trouble-shooter, a public relations person who could keep politicians and public servants quiet. [More…]
This is not a denigration of him; every public service needs that kind of top man. [More…]
As from tonight, they will have no further criticism from me on past performances. [More…]
But let Sir Colin Woods know that we will be looking at his future performance and the performance of his Federal Police with great perspicacity. [More…]
The Prime Minister is a man who obviously has never had to experience that sort of thing. [More…]
There was a man on the pay-as-you-earn system who had no hopeeven if he desired to, which he did not- of avoiding his proper obligations towards the community through the taxation system. [More…]
What irks me is that a man such as Mr Short would attempt to denigrate what the Labor Party did for primary producers. [More…]
Conservation is a subject that has been raised in the Senate many times. [More…]
Recently he told Senate Estimates Committee D that 1 ,750 man hours of work would be needed to remove the backlog of paper work alone. [More…]
In the second place, we have an assurance by Mr Lanigan, who I understand is not a medical man at all, that the doctor declared these people to be perfectly well. [More…]
I express my great concern that we, as a country, should neglect the wife of a man who contributed so much for Queen and country. [More…]
The Premier, when confronted with the judgment, dismissed it as ‘one man’s opinion’. [More…]
It reveals that another man on the mission, who also was known for his courageous attitudes, was recently arrested. [More…]
They were signed by Leigh van der Hoek, the man who was sacked; Roy Mclvor; Leo Rosendale, Justice of the Peace; and Ted Bowen, a council member. [More…]
Why don’t you show some respect and treat our people like human beings?’ [More…]
Then I grabbed that frightened man by the collar of his shin, the poor quality of which did not stand up to the treatment, and all the while he did not say much and the little he did say was a bit garbled and hard to understand. [More…]
Benny McGreen was standing by and I said to him, Why don’t you as our council-chairman see that things are done in a proper way to our people?’ [More…]
This is the sort of thing which is being carried out against this man. [More…]
Amongst other things that were said he accused my wife of brainwashing me, to which my wife replied that I was man enough to have my own opinions and that I did not need her to tell me what to think. [More…]
We want him back amongst us fully healthy because we respect him as a man. [More…]
I say to the Scotsman who has been carrying the claymore that we do not know whether he speaks in Gaelic or Erse most of the time. [More…]
and I understand that the report we had was submitted by a man who also- is an expert in this field. [More…]
I ask the AttorneyGeneral: Is the Commonwealth Police Force still searching for a man who threatened to hijack and blow up an airliner unless his 2 associates were freed from a Tasmanian gaol, or has this man been arrested? [More…]
Is the man to whom I refer the same man who faced in Brisbane a charge of blowing up the Communist Party headquarters there but who subsequently absconded? [More…]
As the Minister knows, the wheat grower today is a man of many parts. [More…]
He can work at quite a number of trades, as well as having managerial experience and being a bit of a scientist. [More…]
I am sure that Senator Coleman and all other honourable senators will be delighted to learn that in fact there is no discrimination between women and men veterans of the Australian forces and that all are entitled to the same benefits in the same circumstances. [More…]
Although this in a sense could be regarded as prejudice in favour of the women rather than the men, at the same time one would have to acknowledge that this is a result of the many years of inequality between men and women and the assumption that has always been made that the only breadwinner in a household is a man and not a woman. [More…]
I again state that if the purpose of the Minister’s untrue assertions of April of this year is simply to ridicule the man who made these assertions, it would be apparent that he was ridiculing him because there was no answer to them. [More…]
