[More…]
Why cannot this nation, which is one of the richest in natural resources - perhaps the richest per head of population - afford to provide for its own people a reasonable health scheme and a decent national superannuation scheme? [More…]

Is the reported rise in the price of petrol being imposed on Australian consumers because Bass Strait crude oil is more costly than the imported product; if so, how can the Government justify higher prices for the use of our own natural resources. [More…]

- Special classes in existing schools for migrant children of all ages to ensure that they achieve the education to which their intelligence and natural skills entitle them. [More…]
But most natural products with man made competitors meet the same competition. [More…]
The argument put forward by honourable senators opposite is that we should send our rams overseas so that the quality of merino sheep in other parts of the world can be improved and in 10 or 15 years wool from those countries will come on to the market and supply a demand for medium to fine wools - the equivalent of merino wool - and that, in turn, will keep the demand for the natural fibre, the merino wool, going. [More…]
Few lawyers have a natural preference for parliamentary drafting and it will not ordinarily attract a sufficient number of suitable practitioners from other fields of legal work unless a career in drafting is given such a status as will counterbalance what is thought to be its lack of appeal. [More…]
One of the reasons why we have an affection for him is his interest in natural history and natural life. [More…]

I am positive that an independent observer who came here and was not completely au fait with the whole position would ask: ‘Do these people want the Communists to win?5 That would be the natural assumption. [More…]
Export controls on natural gas do not apply lo liquefied petroleum gas. [More…]
Therefore, does it not follow as a natural consequence of that hope, that aspiration, that we must make sure that the things that have happened to our primary industries in the past as a consequence of the lack of shipping are not permitted to happen now and that we must have in fact a properly coordinated system of transportation from Tasmania to the mainland overseas terminals so that there is no delay, no holdup and no fouling up of the system as has happened in the past. [More…]
If anything goes wrong with those sea routes - we know it has gone wrong and we have seen the evidence of what happens when it has gone wrong - to deter the proper development of Tasmania then we of course suffer, our economy suffers, and we will continue to bc a mendicant State for years into the future unless the natural resources and the natural attractions of this State of ours can be used and exploited to the maximum possible extent. [More…]
I suppose that is only natural but I do not think that the Commonwealth Government has realised, particularly in relation to Tasmania, that with the lack of shipping facilities there we are being unduly penalised. [More…]
But, goodness gracious me, in a country with a growing population we must surely expect this as quite a natural thing. [More…]
In this connection let me suggest that rather than it be a service in which one has to wait for somebody else to die or to retire through effluxion of time, or to leave by some act of his own, in order to move up the scale there should be a provision in the terms of service in the Office of Parliamentary Counsel that the salary range lifts as a natural consequence of period of service in this branch of the service.

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…]
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…]
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…]
Then this conflict arises between our responsibility to preserve these marsupials for the future and our responsibility to command the natural resources of our country in the interests of this generation and for the development of the nation, and this is a conflict not easy to resolve. [More…]
Man does not live by bread alone and the natural resources of this globe are limited. [More…]
The natural endowment is limited and cannot be expanded, particularly those living creatures and living plants. [More…]
1 recall the time when it was impossible to travel throughout Queensland without being constantly aware that kangaroos and other natural fauna existed in quantity, lt was evident. [More…]
The approach to this economic or commercial exploitation of the kangaroo for meat parallels our approach to the exploitation of every other natural resource, whether it be prawns in the Gulf, crayfish in the north or fish on the continental shelf. [More…]
The uncontrolled exploitation goes on and without Government control, supervision or action the private individual, the commercial exploiter, naturally must follow his own desire which is to get the most out of it that he can before the industry is destroyed. [More…]
The adoption of an overall conversion period of about 10 years will allow advantage to be taken in many sectors of natural obsolescence and depreciation. [More…]
A number of studies of the prospects for development of central Queensland, including a study by the Department of National Development in conjunction with the State Department of Industrial Development, have pointed to the imposing array of natural resources which exist in the region. [More…]
In all the circumstances it would be a perfectly normal, natural and healthy thing to do for a party organisation to express views in relation to country matters. [More…]

[More…]
to assist the development of Australia’s natural resources; [More…]
The provisions referred to inthe last preceding sub-section applyto and in relation to all acts, matters, circumstances and things touching concerning, arising out of or connected with the exploration of the sea-bed or subsoil of the adjacent area for petroleum and the exploitation of the natural resources, being petroleum, of that sea-bed or subsoil, and not otherwise, and so apply as if that area were part of that State and of the Commonwealth. [More…]
It is natural that in a place like Canberra which has such a tremendous population growth, the future development of the airport and its runway systems should be examined, and it is being examined by the Department of Civil Aviation quite carefully. [More…]
I ask the Leader of the Government in the Senate whether the Government has decided to install a natural uranium fuelled Canadian reactor system in Australia’s first nuclear power station. [More…]
I think it is only natural that any scheme introduced a number of years ago will start to show faults and weaknesses because of developments in medical science and in other fields. [More…]
I think it is necessary for the Department to look at this possibility, when it considers the legislation for control of territorial waters, of restricting the waters around the Torres Strait islands for the benefit and use of the islanders who have a natural capacity to work the seas. [More…]
Mineral discoveries are providing a wonderful new source of foreign exchange earnings, from the export of raw materials in their natural form or after some primary processing. [More…]

[More…]

[More…]
It is natural that the settling of these matters between the two Governments should take some time. [More…]
I know of no important country, other than Australia, where the Government exhibits an indifference as to whether its natural resources or production opportunities are owned in whole or in part by overseas interests. [More…]
I have not been unduly apprehensive about the injection of foreign capital into the exploitation of the natural resources of this country because I recognise that the risk capital available in Australia for the purposes of exploiting our natural resources is not adequate to enable us to do what overseas investment can achieve. [More…]
The company did more than convert itself into a public company; it appointed Australians to its board of management and displayed what I believe to be a common sense approach by overseas investors in the exploitation of our natural resources and, for that matter, industry of any kind. [More…]
Unfortunately, too many of the overseas companies which have come here for the purpose of exploiting our natural resources do very little in this regard. [More…]
There is still room for foreign investment, but I am one who believes that a foreign company has to recognise that if it comes here to take advantage of our natural resources, in addition to paying a small royalty to a State government for the coal or uranium or bauxite or whatever it is that is being won, it should, in its own interests as well as in the interests of Australia, give some consideration to taking an Australian element into the company and at least giving Australian investors an opportunity to invest in these undertakings to a greater extent than is the case at the present time. [More…]
He almost got to the point of arguing that overseas capital investment in Australia is wrong, that in fact we have been selling our natural assets. [More…]
Upon seeing a clause such as this it is only natural that I should express the view which I have expressed previously in relation to provisions which take out of the scrutiny of the Parliament the remuneration paid to statutory offices. [More…]

I understand that the Chairman of the company has said that the research involved the development of an improved process of extracting resins from natural hops. [More…]
Was sand stockpiled on a low natural sand dune, and in the removal of this stockpiled sand, were portions of the sand dune removed; if so, did the removal of this inner dune permit water to enter under trees along the lower slopes of the forested dune. [More…]
Sand was stockpiled near a low natural sand dune. [More…]
Development of our natural resources and the strengthening of our industrial complex adds to our overall defence capabilities. [More…]
I think it is a natural aspiration for any country to want to do these things. [More…]
That is only natural. [More…]
It appears that today Queensland has again reached an era of great development of the natural resources with which it has been blessed. [More…]
Japan has few natural resources, yet what has been responsible for the tremendous upsurge of her national growth and economic strength has been the application of technology and of human resources to imported materials that come from this and other countries. [More…]
Senator Gair said that Queensland is blessed with great natural resources, not the least extensive of which are the major deposits of steaming coal, coking coal and gas coal. [More…]

Airport terminal raised to international status to overcome the present disability and to give full opportunity for the development of the undoubted natural attraction of Tasmania? [More…]
If there was some special area which might be suffering an adverse effect in isolation, it would be natural that any government would need to look at that area. [More…]

In regard to the issue of poverty raised by Senator Fitzgerald, let me comment that in any society where the standards of living are constantly rising it is only natural that the criteria of poverty rise accordingly. [More…]
The matter, naturally, is one which the Government has under constant scrutiny, and is always ready to act upon accordingly. [More…]
In the circumstances in which Sir Henry Bolte is reported to have made the statement his remarks must be regarded as a natural reaction to an exasperating situation. [More…]
In a sense it is a Bill to contribute to the preservation of very precious resources in Australia which are our natural water aquifers. [More…]
I am sure that the Australian people as a whole can be grateful for this recognition of the importance of the industry and of the conservation of our natural resources. [More…]
If this country had taken a reasonable path in the early days after the last World War and had been prepared to have a measure of control of wages and prices we would have been far ahead of any other country wilh our rich natural resources and we would have been able to make the best use of the gifts this country has. [More…]
The report brings into very sharp relief the problem that the wool industry has in presenting Australian natural fibres and competing with the great and growing demand and supply of synthetic fibres. [More…]
The table also shows that the total amount of other fibres, which is made up of our wool, cotton and other natural fibres, could increase only from 24,594 million lb in 1958 to 28,665 million lb in 1968. [More…]
World production of man-made fibres has increased from 5,000 million lb to 16,000 million lb, while production of natural fibres has increased from 24,000 million lb to 28,000 million lb. [More…]
One example which comes immediately to mind is the natural gas that has been discovered in the southern portion of Australia and which is to be piped from southern Victoria right throughout New South Wales. [More…]
But all governments in Australia at the present time are quite concerned for the preservation of the natural species of the kangaroo, and I have no doubt it will be a subject of the Ministers’ conference. [More…]
Taxes once imposed have a natural tendency to rise, not to fall. [More…]
On occasions when members or senators were sick, going overseas or had some problems, it was natural for him to contact them and say something kindly to them. [More…]
What countries have constructed power stations fuelled by natural uranium. [More…]
The following countries have constructed power stations fuelled by natural uranium: Canada, West Germany, France, India, Pakistan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Italy. [More…]
Sweden and the United Kingdom have stated that no further natural uranium fuelled power stations are planned for construction at present as part of their national nuclear programme. [More…]
in a feasibility study relating to a natural uranium steam generating reactor, somewhat similar to concepts then under consideration in Canada and Italy. [More…]
Underlining all its statements is an emphasis on our minerals and the export of our natural resources. [More…]
They are our natural markets. [More…]
The Government attaches the greatest importance to preserving the natural features and the native life of this beautiful area. [More…]
Equally he would have some problems in withstanding the natural increases in cost as they come along. [More…]
If so, will the Minister advise the Senate the price per ton at which this natural resource is being sold overseas? [More…]
We will be able to exploit the natural advantage which our geographical location gives us through the use of facilities which will be equal to those available anywhere else in the world. [More…]
There are other natural disasters such as hurricanes, famine, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes- [More…]
One of the proponents of the proposal for a national organisation to deal with the effects of natural disasters was former Senator Tangney. [More…]
The United States of America has a national organisation to deal with the effects of natural disasters. [More…]
He gave notice of a motion that a select committee of the Senate be appointed to inquire into 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. [More…]
We are discussing the desirability and practicability of establishing a national organisation to deal with the effects of natural disasters, and particularly those arising from fire, flood and drought. [More…]
We live in a country where natural disasters, especially fires, floods and droughts, are recurring phenomena. [More…]
I am referring to statutory and voluntary bodies, the efforts of which could be co-ordinated by a national organisation to enable optimum assistance to be given to people suffering from the effects of natural disasters. [More…]
Why should we not investigate whether Australia should have the permanent machinery which we lack at present, to be put into operation automatically when a natural disaster occurs? [More…]
This proposal for the establishment of a national organisation to deal with the effects of natural disasters has been about for a long time and it ought to be thoroughly investigated. [More…]
Why ought not this question be submitted as a natural topic for the Standing Committee to consider? [More…]
1 think that the establishment of a national organisation to deal with the effects of natural disasters is an extremely important matter that ought not to be delayed further. [More…]
This is one of the greatest permanent problems facing Australia and one with which the Committee should engage itself without delay, lt is true that a number of proposals are set out in my notices of motion, but the question of natural disasters is the only proposal which I seek to have referred to the Standing Committee on Primary and Secondary Industry and Trade. [More…]
Although other questions may be important, I would suggest, with respect, that in view of our experience over the years of the effects of natural disasters and in view of the existence of flood and droughts at the present lime and the moral certainty that there will be further such natural disasters in the future, the Senate ought to endorse this reference to the Standing Committee on Primary and Secondary Industry and Trade. [More…]
What Australia needs is a permanent secretariat, consisting of State and Federal officials, ready to anticipate and study natural disasters, evolve contingency plans, and act as the co-ordinating body when asked to. [More…]
As I understand it, Senator Murphy’s motion proposes that a standing committee of the Senate should investigate with the view to the emergence of some sort of natural disaster plan. [More…]
Prior to the suspension of the sitting I was speaking in support of a motion which has been moved by Senator Murphy for the proposed standing committee on primary and secondary industry and trade to have referred to it 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. [More…]
In any event, on 28th May 1968 the then Deputy Leader of my Party in the Senate, the late Senator Cohen, moved for the appointment of a Senate select committee to inquire into the desirability and practicability of establishing a national organisation to deal with the effects of natural disasters. [More…]
Moneys are made available to the States, from a fund controlled by the President of the United States, for the purpose of coping with natural disasters that occur from time to time. [More…]
I understand that there is a form of national organisation equipped to deal with natural disasters in Canada and also in Japan. [More…]
Not to a select committee - the following matter - 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. [More…]
But the Standing Committee on Primary and Secondary Industry and Trade has nothing to do with the concept of establishing a national organisation to deal with the effects of natural disasters. [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…]
There can be natural disasters involving disease in fish where the fish suddenly die, say, in Port Phillip Bay. [More…]
There can be natural disasters involving oil pollution, for example, from the tanker which ran aground in Tories Strait. [More…]
These are natural disasters and they have not been touched upon in Senator Murphy’s motion. [More…]
There can be natural disasters involving environmental destruction, earthquakes and sea wrecks. [More…]
These are all natural disasters which have not been mentioned in the question which Senator Murphy proposes to have referred to the Standing Committee on Primary and Secondary Industry and Trade. [More…]
We seek to refer to the Standing Committee on Primary and Secondary Industry and Trade the question of natural disasters, but politics come into it and minor matters are introduced into the referenceto the Committee. [More…]
I am very pleased because shortly I will drop at the honourable senator’s feet a flood, a bush fire, a cyclone and a few other natural disasters. [More…]
That there be referred to the Standing Committee on Primary and Secondary Industry and Trade the following matter - The desirability and practicability of establishing a national organisation to deal with the effects of natural disasters . [More…]
I do not think that it is appropriate for the Senate to refer a matter such as that for which Senator Murphy has moved - the whole question of what is the appropriate machinery to deal wilh natural disasters - to a standing committee. [More…]
All the debate which we have had from the Opposition tonight has been largely on the merits of some committee to investigate natural disasters. [More…]
A proposal has been put forward to have an inquiry by this Senate into the desirability and the practicability of having a national organisation to deal with the natural disasters we have in Australia, especially those of fire, flood and drought. [More…]
We will set up some organisation to inquire into natural disasters. [More…]
Last night Senator Murphy battled hard to get a Senate inquiry into drought relief and natural disasters. [More…]
The Minister is no doubt aware of the growing public consciousness of the need for plans for mitigation of the effects of natural disasters, such as floods, fires and cyclones, and the need to gather information for scientific research into the subject. [More…]
It is concerned with natural disasters and the gathering of information in order to try to have plans laid ahead for the control of such natural disasters. [More…]
Nonetheless, I will have inquiries made for the honourable senator to ascertain whether this information has been made available to the Tasmanian authorities which are, in some areas, the responsible authorities for natural disaster control in that State. [More…]
We saw a sorry spectacle in this chamber only a few days ago when the Opposition moved a motion, to which an amendment was subsequently moved, which sought to refer to the Standing Committee on Primary and Secondary Industry and Trade the question of the effects of natural disasters, and in particular those arising from fire, flood and drought. [More…]
We saw him sitting on the front bench again the other night when we were discussing this question of the effects of natural disasters. [More…]
Surely rural Australia with its vast areas of smog free and pollution free land is the natural host to tertiary and secondary industries, just as it is the traditional home of the famous and important primary industries of our land. [More…]
However I suppose it is only natural to expect that he will support the Government. [More…]
As always happens after a natural disaster, the National Guard comes in abd cleans up the disaster area, but six skilled revolutionaries can control the destructive natural forces as scientists attempt to do with the weather. [More…]
It is natural therefore that the cost of those shipping services governs, to a large extent, the prices of most commodities in Tasmania and the extent to which Tasmanian industries and producers can compete in interstate markets. [More…]
There are other factors such as inventiveness, overall resources, a past that created a balance of ability and resources, ingenuity and human skills, natural resources freely available, cheap power and fortunate geography. [More…]
We are a lucky country because of our natural resources. [More…]
Through the initiative of our people, the great wealth and knowledge of private enterprise and the ability of the Australian work force, we are tapping our natural resources. [More…]
Australia, because of its natural resources, the ability and calibre of its people, and partly because of its stable Government, is progressing. [More…]
At a time when all members of this Parliament, irrespective of party affiliations, arc concerned about the effect of inflation on our national economy it is only natural that a great deal of comment should be made outside the Parliament by the Press and leading economists. [More…]
Tn the natural course of events a Minister would observe with some interest any resolution which expressed a point of view and he would tend to equate that with Government policy. [More…]
The Australian Atomic Energy Commission is aware of the penguin rookery on Bowen Island and, as has been stated before, is anxious to preserve as far as possible the natural state of the environment. [More…]
; if so, what is the price per ton at which this natural resources is being sold overseas. [More…]
burning off and natural phenomena such as seismic activity and landslides in high rainfall areas. [More…]
Leading economists say quite openly that our intake through immigration, added to our natural increase, while contributing to economic growth involves tremendous expenditure in the fields of education, housing, transport and health. [More…]
Senator Georges has been most constrained in his natural inclination to get . [More…]
Our recently discovered natural resources of iron ore, bauxite and other minerals are falling more and more into the hands of overseas monopolists, who are being aided and abetted by this Government. [More…]
They are being allowed to skim the cream of returns from these discoveries of natural resources. [More…]
Because we find that position developing today we should examine the whole structure of the nation to see whether we are exploiting, to the best advantage and as quickly as possible, the natural resources of the country and capital and manpower resources to increase the national wealth in order to have available the resources which will enable an enrichment and amelioration of the lives of the people. [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…]
The approach of the Committee was not merely to the question of the pollution of one of the natural elements, water, but to the genera] question of water, its conservation and its use in a continent which traditionally is one of the driest in the world and where water is extremely precious. [More…]
This first reaction is only natural. [More…]
I would have great reservations about any suggestion that the imposition of an excise duty on wine will have an effect upon the industry which will not be absorbed by the natural growth of interest in the imbibing of our own Australian wines. [More…]
We have more than 100,000 people a year coming to this country, apart from the natural increase. [More…]
whether the system of administration established by the legislation is the most effective to fulfil the purpose of adequate utilisation of Australia’s off-shore resources of oil and natural gas; [More…]
whether the legislation makes adequate provision for Australian ownership and/or control or Australian participation in the ownership and/or control of Australia’s off-shore resources of oil and natural gas; and [More…]
What amount of royally has Victoria received from the production of Bass Strait oil and natural gas? [More…]
What is the estimated amount of royalty that Victoria will receive annually from Bass Strait oil and natural gas? [More…]
for the supply of natural gas to New South Wales. [More…]
As the Commonwealth has a responsibility relating to royalties from the production of natural gas off-shore, and as price is related to royalty, what is the contract price for any natural gas being supplied to New South Wales from Esso-B.H.P. [More…]
If I am any judge of the wine drinkers in this country there will very soon be a further natural expansion in the enjoyment of light wines by Australians. [More…]
What steps are taken to ensure that substitute or synthetic products, such as synthetic meat and synthetic drinks, are labelled and marketed as synthetic products and are not labelled to give the impression that they are natural products? [More…]
This is a natural result of a changing technology. [More…]
I imagine that being trained people and people who live in isolation they are hard to find and the natural changes and wastage in the system should adequately take care of any of these personal problems. [More…]
There is no doubt at all that the discovery of oil and natural gas in Bass Strait and Victoria’s share of the royalties have been of considerable benefit to that State. [More…]
At present I do not know what it has received by way of royalties as its share of the oil and natural gas or what is likely to be its share in future years. [More…]
The Government’s position regarding assistance to State governments for drought or any other natural disaster relief has been made clear on a number of recent occasions and is summarised in a White Paper ‘Commonwealth Payments to or for the States 1970- 71’ in chapter 3 at page 43. [More…]
We have to find a way of financing such sales in our natural market - the countries close by. [More…]
Quite naturally, in a city that is growing at the rate at which Canberra is there must be quite dramatic increases in valuations of properties. [More…]
So, the growth of any community that grows as dramatically as Canberra has grown in recent times will naturally bring in its train a substantial increase in the value of property. [More…]
lt is quite natural that there should be the reaction that these dramatic increases - I do not want to refer to them; they are or will be in the record - highlight and tend to throw into relief something which may appear at first sight to be a bad policy or a bad practice. [More…]
The Labor Party is dominated by capital city interests and therefore it is only natural that it is going to look after the people it represents, and they are not the people in the country. [More…]
This Bill is part of an overall review of Commonwealth fishery legislation which has been undertaken in the Department of Primary Industry and which will form the basis of more extensive amendments of the Fisheries Act and Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act during a subsequent session of the Parliament. [More…]
Therefore it is only natural that our predispositions, as we come to a particular State, would be by virtue of previous sentimental attachments or by the acquisition of personal and professional experience to favour an emphasis on a system that to some extent reflects our own, as against a system that would represent a departure or a major departure from it. [More…]
If a person seeks the benefit of an exculpatory provision of an Act or seeks the benefit of an exemption it is natural to expect that he will claim it. [More…]
It worries me whether a natural corollary to this Bill may be the institution of an Australian coastguard service. [More…]
Some, honourable senators may laugh but to me the scene symbolised the contrast between the mad urban scramble and the efforts to keep the environment in its natural state. [More…]
Has the Minister representing the Minister for Primary Industry noted recent comments by Professor Hunter in relation to the production of synthetic substances and its likely impact on the production of natural materials? [More…]
The Minister for External Affairs stated on 23 October that he understood the natural anxiety of Vietnamese representatives in Australia to keep in touch with their students, but he doubted the wisdom of the way they had chosen to do so. [More…]
This is only natural. [More…]
When honourable senators are treated in such a fashion it is natural that they should resent it. [More…]
However, I feel that we must help the people of these countries by apportioning some of our capacity to produce and some of our natural productivity for the purpose of assisting them to lift their living standards. [More…]
We will never get enough people in this country by way of natural increase. [More…]
With our increased growth through migrants and our natural birth rate increase, building activities in the future must expand. [More…]
I think it would be quite natural that employment in the Electrolytic Zinc Company and the Hydro-Electric Commission, to which Senator Wriedt referred, would have far greater appeal to- apprentices than would the Department of Works day labour force numbering between 60 and 80 in the circumstances 1 have mentioned. [More…]
There is talk in Melbourne of the activities at Moorabbin being transferred to Essendon, and it is natural that the people of Melbourne want to know what is happening. [More…]
The question is whether the station should use natural uranium or enriched uranium. [More…]
Because of the recent tremendous discoveries of uranium in Australia, there is a question as to whether that may tend to make us move towards the use of natural uranium. [More…]
At Jervis Bay in particular special attention is being given to preserving the natural beauty of the area and to the native animal and plant life and marine ecology. [More…]
Is it not a fact that it is affecting the Bureau’s ability to assess the natural resources of the country and to prepare, recommend and lay down policies that will conserve those assets? [More…]
Colin Tatz, in his article ‘Queensland Aborigines, Natural Justice and the Rule of Law’ (Australian Quarterly, Sept. 1963) quotes many documented cases of breaches of similar regulations in the act then in force. [More…]
This, plus their natural desire not to get into the bad books of the Manager givesto him considerable control over their activities. [More…]
I cannot recall the year but the statement was made that South Australia, because of its lack of natural resources, would be unable to emerge into a position of complete financial independence. [More…]
We shall do all that we can to make the fullest use of our natural resources. [More…]
However, it has to be realised that South Australia has its limitations in natural resources. [More…]
Among these differences are those of area, climate, topography, natural resources, size and distribution of population arid productive capacity, and levels of income and expenditure . [More…]
Earlier 1 referred to the basic difficulties which beset my State of South Australia, a large State in area and one not especially endowed with natural resources. [More…]
But coal is a wasting asset and looking into the future it leads us in South Australia to feel that there is a very strong case - bearing in mind that we have no power source other than natural gas and the coal deposits to which 1 have referred - for South Australia to be given due consideration for the provision of a nuclear reactor to feed power into the State grids. [More…]
South Australia is, unfortunately, completely lacking in natural resources, which makes it extremely difficult for it to carry on in the same way as other States with natural resources and greater assets. [More…]
Yet it needs to be placed very firmly on the record that, in spite of these handicaps, South Australia has over a period of years brought itself to a situation where it has developed a manufacturing ability and capacity far in excess of what its population percentage and its natural resources might lead one to expect from it. [More…]
manufacturing., development and, of course, the discovery of natural resources in other areas have caused some problems as far as South Australia is concerned. [More…]
to enable the alternatives to be clearly understood when it is decided to prevent mining in an area of unique natural beauty. [More…]
In a large and complex social service programme it is natural that one or more sections of the community will invariably want more services, more concessions, more favours or more money han are provided for by current legislation. [More…]
Thirdly, we have agreed to meet all expenditure for 1970-71 on natural disaster relief measures in New South Wales in excess of S5m. [More…]
We have agreed to meet all expenditure for 1970-71 on natural disaster relief measures in New South Wales in excess of$5m. [More…]
I understand that talks have taken place between the Premier of Queensland and the Prime Minister in regard to the natural disaster area in the far west of Queensland. [More…]
These topographic maps are of particular importance as they show the shape of the terrain, the location of all natural features, mountains, streams^ lakes, coastlines and all man-made features such as towns, homesteads, roads, railways, airfields, reservoirs and the like, all in their correct positions. [More…]
When he was putting forward certain shortcomings in our society, the thought went through my mind that the natural corollary is some form of government control. [More…]
This is a pay-off to a certain section of the wool industry to allow it to sell merino rams, in the same way as our great natural resources are being sold at a rock bottom price. [More…]
Firstly, in my view, retrospectivity, except in special circumstances, is repugnant to the concept of natural justice. [More…]
In substance, we are dealing with the case of a person convicted contrary to natural justice. [More…]
Are we going to put time limits on natural justice? [More…]
He could go along to a court and it would decide whether all the conditions- were satisfied - that he was convicted in his absence, that he did not receive the summons and in effect was deprived of natural justice. [More…]
A person may claim that he has been denied natural justice and he ought to have an opportunity to rectify the injustice. [More…]
Do not put a time limit and say that after 2 years they cannot have natural justice unless they make a special application to a court to hear their claims that the conviction ought to be set aside. [More…]
On the point of natural justice, as I understand the proposed amendment a defendant has an absolute right lo have the conviction set aside if within 2 years he satisfies the conditions set out in sub-section 4 of proposed section 132a. [More…]
As the Australian Senate takes up this sphere of parliamentary work it is only natural that the President should refer to this matter. [More…]
He said that the Commonwealth had undertaken the responsibility for financing the expansion of existing facilities for the instruction of adult migrants; the provision of intensive full-time English language courses for those who must know English in order to follow occupations; and special classes in existing schools for migrant children of all ages to ensure that they achieved the education to which their intelligence and natural skills entitled them. [More…]
When the world price for sugar is below the Australian home consumption price there is a natural tendency to criticise the existence of the machinery by which the home consumption price is determined, but there have been occasions when the world market price has risen above the home consumption price. [More…]
I have a feeling of some regret that this committee on natural disasters was not preferred to, for example, the committee on air pollution and the committee on water pollution which ave very important but which in my view are not so important as one on natural disasters. [More…]
What Australia needs is a permanent secretariat, consisting of State and federal officials, ready to anticipate and study natural disasters, evolve contingency plans, and act as the co-ordinating body when asked to. [More…]
In the total field, payments to the States by the Commonwealth for natural disasters in the period from 1949-50 to 1969-70 totalled Si 10m. [More…]
I said natural disasters. [More…]
If you read Hansard you will find I said that Commonwealth payments to the States for natural disasters - the term ‘natural disaster’ covers quite a wide area - totalled $110m for the period from 1949-50 to 1969-70. [More…]
It has been decided that once the Facility is in operation general public access to Garden Island is not considered practicable having in mind safety, security and the need to safeguard the limited vegetation and the natural environment. [More…]

Merely as illustrations, we refer here to bodies such as the Aus tralian Conservation Foundation, the Colong Committee, the Great Barrier Reef Committee, the National Parks Association of New South Wales, and to the very many individuals who are greatly concerned about aspects of the environment such as the protection of the coastline, the preservation of wildlife, and the maintenance ir their natural state of water bodies such as the Myall Lakes in New South Wales. [More…]
The inclusion of the term ‘social environment’ in the very title of the Committee to which we are referring paints a broad picture and goes far beyond the areas of air and water, ft is natural that Senator Murphy and all of us who may speak in this debate or who may have any connection with the Committee will have a deep and continuing interest in these 2 areas. [More…]
Therefore it seems to me that this motion is a very natural succession to the reports from those committees. [More…]
The Senate has since created the Standing Committee on Social Environment and this motion moved by Senator Murphy, subject to adjustment or otherwise of the wording, seems to me to be a natural consequence. [More…]
However, no matter how effective these measures may be, there will remain an onus on the public to exercise great caution under extreme storms, bushfires or other natural hazards. [More…]
In the natural course of events chairmen of committees tend to be appointed to the Ministry or leave the Senate. [More…]
State Governments are primarily responsible for financing relief and restoration following natural disasters such as floods and fires and, except in the case of the relief of personal hardship and distress, the Commonwealth normally assists only where it is considered that the amount of abnormal expenditure involved would impose an undue burden on the State’s resources. [More…]

This provides us with a potential based on abundant natural resources. [More…]
Many Australian industries face costs higher than those of their overseas competitors for reasons beyond their control arising from the Austraiian natural and social environment. [More…]
What did the people of Australia find out about this citadel of the system - with all its ethics and gentlemen’s agreements - that they had trusted to invest their money in what they believe was the development and the advancement of a young country which is rich in natural resources and bright in its possibilities for the future? [More…]
I am not blaming anyone for this natural disaster. [More…]
Irrespective of what anybody might feel and the natural sadness that we all feel, there is every evidence here of a genuine attempt to do everything to make the situation as good as possible in the future. [More…]
Australia as a coastal state has sovereign rights over the continental shelf beyond the limits of Australian territorial waters for the purpose of exploring it and exploiting its natural resources: [More…]
the last preceding sub-section apply to and in relation to all acts, matters, circumstances, and things touching, concerning, arising out of or connected with the exploration of the sea-bed or subsoil of the adjacent area for petroleum and the exploitation of the natural ‘ resources, being petroleum, of that sea-bed or subsoil, and.

We owe a great deal to John Busst and it is a great pity that his death should occur at a time when it is necessary to reactivate the campaign to protect the Great Barrier Reef against exploitation and natural disaster. [More…]
In this context the feeding by the crown of thorns starfish on living coral constitutes, in the long term, portion of the destruction by natural forces within the reef-building process.’ [More…]
On the available evidence, the starfish explosion may just as easily be one of those natural forces which result in ultimate destruction. [More…]
Surely we should not accept the decision that what is happening to the Reef is merely a cycle and that we should allow the area to be devastated because in the natural course of events the whole area will recover. [More…]
It is natural that, as initiatives are made and. [More…]
Since most of them who have spoken have been lawyers, they would know that in interpreting the statute law they should follow the principles set down by Crais’ Statute Law Interpretation’ and similar authorities which state that words have to be given their plain, ordinary, natural meaning. [More…]
It is the natural wish of many people to continue in a way of life which they know and like and may have followed for many years. [More…]

The South Australia and Western Australian standards are similar to the Council’s standard except that they contain no reference to the presence of natural sucrose. [More…]
No reference is made to the presence of natural sucrose. [More…]
At that time, on behalf of the Opposition, I moved an amendment in these terms to the motion to take note of the Budget papers: and the Senate is of the opinion that the Budget is inadequate in that - (a) it increases taxation and health and housing costs for families; (b) it makes no considered and comprehensive approach to the needs of all schools; (c) it ignores the problems of capital cities and regional centres; (d) it defers further development projects and urgent rural measures; and (e) it neglects industries based on Australian natural resources and defence requirements. [More…]
It is a disgrace to a country that claims all the things this Government claims about Australia’s affluence, about the great wealth that exists, about the great discoveries that are being made of natural resources, about our great overseas balances and so on, while hidden in a murky little corner or swept under the carpet are the very great social human problems that are indicated by the tone of the letter I have just recited to the Senate. [More…]
The development of our natural resources and the strengthening of our industrial complex adds te our overall defence capabilities. [More…]
A second large area of utilisation is for industrial use, particularly in those locations where natural gas is not available, for liquefied petroleum gas is much cleaner than town gas and is preferred by many industries. [More…]
Liquefied petroleum gas is obtained from natural gas as prepared for distribution from crude oil refineries. [More…]
Huge quantities of liquefied petroleum gas extracted from our Bass Strait natural gas are being sold overseas for export and are not available for the Australian market. [More…]
This together with liquefied petroleum gas extracted from natural gas is sold for export at very low prices - about $15 to $17 a ton f.o.b. [More…]
We give these people the benefit of bur natural gas at bargain basement prices which, in turn, enables them to reduce costs and to give our rural and secondary industries stronger competition. [More…]
We have a natural resource on the ocean shelf of Australia. [More…]
Whilst city dwellers in Victoria may have obtained benefits from natural gas discovered in Bass Strait, those benefits have not flowed on to country consumers of gas in Victoria or elsewhere. [More…]

One may have to accept an increased loss rate from natural circumstances of one sort or another but the fact is that in the economics of the wool growing industry a pattern has been worked out over the 120 or so years of settlement in Australia. [More…]
It is unthinkable in a world of rapidly increasing population and increasing food requirements that Australia, which is one of the most blessed and efficient granaries and natural food and fibre producers, should not continue to play a major role on the world scene in providing rural products in volume. [More…]
But it is only natural that these organisations would want to look after their own interests. [More…]
I suppose that in many cases they go away from the property; which is a natural enough thing to do. [More…]
The honourable senator may take it that in matters of trade with the United States or with any other country Australia prosecutes its natural self interest to the best of its ability. [More…]
But now the price is so good that the refinery companies - Mobil Oil Australia Ltd is the big offender - are able to buy Australian crude oil at $2.05 per barrel, ship it half way around the world and make a profit, f have proposed this question before: ls Australia so affluent in its natural resources that it can afford to export oil? [More…]
If Senator Wheeldon wants to frame amendments, I say to him: ‘Never mind about the superiority of your schooling over mine; let your common sense and natural talent to think take over?’ [More…]
The prospects of accelerating the economic and social development of both the developed and the developing countries are increasingly dependent upon the application of science to the technological exploitation of whatever natural resources are available to them. [More…]
From information we have gathered I believe that the reason for the debt which the company has accumulated over the past 2 years is not entirely associated with natural events. [More…]
There will be no interference to supplies of natural gas to Melbourne or in the production of crude oil from the Halibut and Kingfish fields. [More…]
I would respectfully say to Senator Cotton that, regardless of what he may have to do in regard to the major decision he has to make on the subject of the numerous deputations that have been made to him, he should ensure that the people who reside near this area of natural bushland are not subject to unnecessary disturbances from all types of aircraft. [More…]
It has been said that it is a natural paradise for certain birds and animals and that if it were to be intruded upon in any way the natural fauna would either disappear or diminish. [More…]
But I want to express the following reservation: If we are to prevent flying because this area should be retained as a natural parkland for the people of Sydney then that is what it must be. [More…]
This is a very important question because of the development of the oil and natural gas industry in this country. [More…]
It is reasonable and natural that in this community they should take part in the democratic process. [More…]
In fact your Committee agrees that if supplies have been satisfactorily provided and there is an abnormal delay in the receipt of a claim for payment, it would not be a distortion of the natural course of events for a supplier to be informed that his claim had not been received. [More…]
They are not obliged to observe what in certain areas would be regarded as the canons of natural justice. [More…]
In the light of recent answers that I have received from him about certain directives to hospital and medical benefits fund managements, is not a natural corollary to such action the creation of a health insurance commission, which was mooted by one of his predecessors, to ensure that the funds maintain the course that his colleague and former Minister for Health, Senator Greenwood, decreed? [More…]
It is only natural, in view of what has been happening in the Liberal Party, that accusations would be made to the effect that the Prime Minister (Mr McMahon) was seeking a wider power base within his Party by appointing Assistant Ministers at this stage. [More…]
I believe that Queensland, with its vast natural resources, mineral development and rapidly expanding tourist industry will play a very important part in the future growth and progress of Australia. [More…]
This is a young and rich land with an abundance of natural resources. [More…]
With automation, push button industry and the natural reduction in working hours, people will have more leisure time. [More…]
Due notice having been given, the matter is properly within the forms of the Senate, and if it is proper to be reconsidered natural justice may demand that it be reconsidered. [More…]
To fail, in those circumstances, so to act is a denial of natural justice. [More…]
Thirdly, in this matter there was a denial of natural justice. [More…]
There having been a denial of natural justice in the operations of a tribunal acting judicially, the proceedings, insofar as there has been a denial, should be quashed. [More…]
The denial of natural justice was this: When the report was presented to the Senate it was adopted in toto on 13 th May by resolution of the Senate. [More…]
A decision to deport an alien (in respect of which the courts have declined to require observance of natural justice) probably falls into this category, even though the Home Secretary’s decision may be based on considerations of national security or the maintenance of friendly relations with foreign States. [More…]
That is a conflict between two parties, two people - - a view that may have been based on an oversimplified interpretation of the cases on natural justice decided under the Housing and New Towns Acts - overlooked two relevant lines of cases. [More…]
First, there arc the cases in which a duty to act judicially in accordance with the rules of natural justice has been held to arise by implication from the nature of a power and its impact upon the rights of individuals, despite the absence of any express duty to follow a procedure analogous to the judicial. [More…]
Therefore, if the violation of natural justice lay in the fact that they had not been given an opportunity after the verdict had been brought in to be heard on the question of punishment or why punishment should not be inflicted upon them. [More…]
If a person, having been found guilty of an offence, is then denied the opportunity to be heard, does that constitute such a denial of justice as to amount to a violation of natural justice which requires either a quashing of the conviction or, for that matter, a retrial of the offence. [More…]
The Authorities are clear and unmistakable that if that right is denied, a violation of natural justice has’ occurred which must be rectified through the legal tribunals of the land. [More…]
It is a condign and appropriate step to take, That step, if denied, is considered a violation of natural justice. [More…]
The High Court, in the case of Coward and Stapleton, did not use the term ‘natural justice’, but it quashed the conviction of the person concerned. [More…]
failure to give counsel for the defend an opportunity to be heard on sentence was, without more, a denial of natural justice; [More…]
We consider that thereby there was at that stage a denial of natural justice to the defendant. [More…]
It is true that there is no section of the Justices Act which specifically gives to a defendant the opportunity to be heard upon sentence, but we are led to the firm conclusion that such an opportunity should be given and that if it is not so given then there is a denial of natural justice. [More…]
It is true that there is no section of the Justices Act which specifically gives to a defendant the opportunity to be heard upon sentence, but we are led to the firm conclusion that such an opportunity should be given and that if it is not so given then there is a denial of natural justice. [More…]
Senator Byrne, as a lawyer, should know that the common law doctrine of natural justice must cede to express provisions in a statute, even if the Parliament were to be regarded as a court. [More…]
It is not bound strictly by any laws of natural justice. [More…]
The fact is as I have said, that the Senate is not bound by any laws of natural justice. [More…]
I would hope though - and I believe - that it has acted according to the laws of natural justice and I would hope that when the Privileges Committee gets down to an examination of its procedures it would spell out all sorts of protection for witnesses who are called before committees and for people in the position of the journalists who were called here on that day. [More…]
They were not, to use strict language, bound by the rules of natural justice but they were under an obligation to act fairly. [More…]
Let us go back and in the name of conscience have another complete discussion on whether at all stages we have given these people natural justice.’ [More…]
We were worried about the question of natural justice. [More…]
I do not enter this debate as a lawyer because I am not one, but as one who has some respect for natural justice, particularly as it applies to the rights of honourable senators to bring before the Senate matters that they consider to be in the interests of the Senate and the citizens of this country. [More…]
But the fact that we have these rights, does not give us the power to ignore the ordinary concepts of natural justice and the forms of natural justice which have been found by the courts of England and Australia over the ages to be necessary to carry out natural justice. [More…]
Natural justice demands at least that before a sentence is passed a person found guilty should be given the right to speak at the eleventh hour in his own defence. [More…]
“Is it not natural that a brilliant trained lawyer, as Senator Byrne is, should have his doubts that, having set the precedent which we set on this occasion, we might adopt the same practice on an occasion when the offence is a far more serious one and when the sentence may be vastly different to the one which Senator Byrne referred to as ‘being flogged with a feather’? [More…]
We should not fail to take every precautionary measure to protect the natural justice that should be afforded to citizens who may at any time offend and who may have to appear before us, as a judicial tribunal, when we may be called upon rightly to impose sentences upon those people to protect the rights of the Senate. [More…]
This, therefore, gives us much higher responsibility to ensure that our forms shall not be lesser than those of the courts but instead will be even more powerful in protecting the natural justice and the rights of somebody who even wishes to plead, when guilty, for the mercy of those who are about to sentence him. [More…]
If the Senate affirms that decision, as I hope it will, I believe that that will be a satisfaction to everybody who took part in the proceedings in May, because 1 for my part would not relish the situation if it were thought by any considerable number of honourable senators that we had lacked a sense of natural justice and had not been scrupulous to observe every precaution which would ensure a proper and just adjudgment of the situation so far as the editors were concerned. [More…]
In those circumstances, we were under an obligation to have regard for judicial procedures, and it is in our departure from the observance of those procedures that, in my submission, a violation of natural justice has occurred. [More…]
It will be no discredit to the Senate if on a calm consideration of the proposition it should find that there has been a violation of natural justice. [More…]
We have natural actors and actresses. [More…]
Has the Department of Works studied the hydrological effects of this runway on the natural currents in that area? [More…]
It has resulted in massive quantities of crude oil and natural gas being found in Australia. [More…]
In this chamber a spokesman for the Australian Democratic Labor Party used the term natural justice. [More…]
I do not think that I have ever in my lifetime heard the term natural justice used so extensively. [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…]
It may well be argued that, strictly speaking, the term natural justice does not apply. [More…]
But I am of the opinion that men of goodwill would have extended the term natural justice to the Ronald Walsh case. [More…]
May I add that the present crisis in world currency exchange rates was caused by America’s natural desire to adjust its very adverse balance of trade. [More…]
Nelson, turns a blind eye to the multimillion dollar corporations enriching themselves on our vital natural resources. [More…]
Man no longer relies on the natural landscape to exist as he did for thousands of years. [More…]
Our natural resources are vanishing so fast we will not have any petroleum left in 100 years. [More…]
What purpose is served by allowing the natural resources that exist in Australia - I am thinking now particularly of my own State of Western Australia - to remain in the ground unused? [More…]
It may well be that the natural increase in population has a bearing. [More…]
Consideration has to be given to those States which are somewhat lesser endowed in natural resources than are others. [More…]
Compared with natural wools, with world production at a static 3,400 million lb a year, this must cause an inevitable fall in natural wool prices. [More…]
World non-cellulosic synthetic fibre production is now nearly 4 times that of natural wool. [More…]
This principle and this test move across the whole broad band of the spectrum of human life - indeed, from foetal life to natural death. [More…]
I reject vengeance even though when we see a brutal crime it is natural for us to have that kind of reaction. [More…]
I can sympathise thoroughly in the natural reaction that we should do something to protect them. [More…]
I suggest this as a point for contemplation by those who would see that, instead of carrying out capital punishment in the case of a heinous crime, the offender should be incarcerated for the term of his natural life. [More…]
We seem to accept as natural that violence and murder should be offered to human beings so regularly. [More…]
Although emotionally many of us can think of the sort of example to which Senator Webster refers, where it would be normal and natural for a person to feel a desire for retribution and where I can feel sympathy for anybody who reaches the stage of being overwhelmed by the desire for retribution, standing back as one responsible for the passing of legislation I do not think we can become involved in that sort of emotional reaction to what happened in a particular circumstance. [More…]
As everybody knows, life imprisonment is not for the term of a person’s natural life; it is probably only for a term of 9 or 10 years in actual fact. [More…]
That is the natural tendency of anyone engaged in selling a commodity. [More…]
I am not making these points at this stage to ask for a taxation review of policy with regard to these ancillary services but rather to link the development of our natural resources which is being undertaken with the more human development of our personal resources. [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…]
The Government suggests that this is sound economic policy, that it maintains a natural flow and that it is not interfered with at all by the Government, but the Government gives instructions to the Commonwealth Banking Corporation to increase interest rates to curtail the circulation of money and credit. [More…]
Today I have had no answer as to why acrylic fibres are brought from the United States of America and admitted to Australia duty free whereas the United States charges a duty of 25 per cent on our natural product of wool.I think the Government should take positive steps to equalise the situation, or at least to ensure that if synthetic fibres are to enter this country they should not do so completely free of duty when exported by the country that is charging such a vicious rate of duty on the natural fibre produced here. [More…]
It would appear that the Australian Labor Party takes the view that there should be a reduction in our natural birth rate and we should break down on our immigration policy. [More…]
The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State. [More…]
I suppose that it is natural for an Opposition to claim that the increases that are granted are inadequate. [More…]
It was natural that Senator Greenwood would have half an hour in which to explain his urgency motion. [More…]
That is their natural way. [More…]
It is only natural that as this policy grows and develops - with the background of the motion which we have had today - there Ls some concern in relation to Australia’s population growth. [More…]
If it is said that today we are damaging some of the natural resources there are still the untapped resources of synthetic foods production. [More…]
I do not believe that this constitutes a matter requiring the consideration of measures to curtail our natural population increase: rather do I believe that it is one requiring careful and far-sighted planning of the management and usage of our natural resources in order to meet the needs of a much larger population than we now have. [More…]
But in my opinion we have no economic problem in respect to the curtailment of natural increase in population in our country. [More…]
A major national inquiry is being conducted into all phases of population, natural growth rates - both internal and external migration - distribution and the interrelation of demographic social and economic effects of population growth in Australia and of the countries around us with which we have economic, cultural and other associations. [More…]
It is necessary to introduce Bills to cover persons belonging to Commonwealth schemes in order to correct what otherwise would be the natural operation of those schemes. [More…]
Does that mean for the whole of a person’s natural life? [More…]
If this Bill had refinements written into it, if it provided that for a certain type of killing the punishment could be for the whole of his natural life and he was never to be released, I could understand it; but I cannot accept the Bill in its present form. [More…]
1 suggested going back to the biblical days and that the ibis and other birds could play a role in combating the locusts by natural means. [More…]
Australia’s armed forces are likely to be presented with really acute problems of recruitment, of training, of equipment and of morale, in the face of the natural inclination of their political masters to cut them to the bone. [More…]
If somebody suggests that the expression ‘the term of his natural life’ should be inserted, that the grammar is wrong somewhere or something else should be looked at, we will have 27 days in which to look at it instead of having a few minutes, a few hours or even a few days. [More…]
The Attorney-General suggests that some other provisions should be included, such as ‘the term of his natural life’? [More…]
A natural corollary to the criticism that I am advancing at present has been put forward by Senator Douglas McClelland, namely, that there should be a health insurance commission to police these things. [More…]
Natural gas was discovered at Petrel No. [More…]
I think the trend is a natural one. [More…]
In some areas of Victoria a rather bitter debate has been waged between proponents in the Department of Agriculture of superphosphate fertiliser and those people who today advocate the use of a more natural fertiliser such as dolomite. [More…]
It is increasingly clear that the superb natural environment which this continent provides for human life can no longer be taken for granted. [More…]
If, as I have said, the arts should be deeply integrated into our lives, they, too, form part of the intellectual and cultural environment within which our lives are lived - offering diversity of experience and - lending form and substance to our personal and natural identity. [More…]
Clause 4 extends the obligation to comply with the Bill to all natural persons, resident in Australia or not, and to all bodies corporate, whether incorporated or carrying on business in Australia or not. [More…]
Has the attention of the Leader of the Government in the Senate been drawn to the comments of a director of Woodside Oil NL that the merger of the interests of Woodside Oil and Mid-Eastern Oil NL are a sell-out to overseas interests of great Australian natural resources and a sell-out of the last vestige of Australian control of the oil and gas leases on the northwest continental shelf? [More…]
Can the Senate be assured that the Government is alert to see that the control of our natural resources remains with the Government? [More…]
Will the Minister tell us whether he approves of the fact that Esso Exploration, a company which has no Australian equity, has, after a profit of $10m in the last year, now announced a profit of Slim for the last 6 months, these profits coming from the development of Australia’s resources of natural gas and oil in the Bass Strait? [More…]
The Indonesians said: ‘Give us the opportunity to build up our own natural defences. [More…]
That is natural and human and very much a part of the Australian character, but we feel that the responsibility rests upon some, unpleasant as it may be, to draw the attention of the nation to this situation. [More…]
The fact is - and I think that almost all of us would recognise it today - that neither our membership of the United Nations, nor our membership of the Commonwealth, nor our natural relationship with the United States, has provided us with that leverage in world affairs for which the instinct of this House continues to ask. [More…]
How can the Acting Prime Minister have the effrontery to suggest this when the Government has allowed a takeover by foreign interests of a great part of our natural resources and industries? [More…]
The Bill as drafted provided for the exemption to be given to a corporation and that was the limit of the exemption, but as I mentioned earlier the Bill regards actions by corporations or actions by natural persons as being within the framework of the Bill. [More…]
With nations and individuals in those nations now seeking sources of exploration and the commitment of capital, Australia, because of ils political stability, because of its natural resources, because of other attractive elements in the Australian investment scene, will attract this money which is now becoming available to Australia. [More…]
It is only a question of finding that balance between the inflow of capital and the surrender of the control of our own natural resources or our own national corporation activities. [More…]
A consortium of exploration companies including Woodside Oil NL, Mid-Eastern Oil and the British oil group have discovered a major field of natural gas. [More…]
The field includes the Rankin North and the Scott’s Reef structures; the former is estimated to hold reservoirs of 4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. [More…]
This is a developing area of Austrafia with immense resources of natural gas and probably potentially immense resources of natural and free flowing oil. [More…]
In each case Mr Gorton moved in and stopped what would have been the complete take-over of major Australian enterprises - one in the field of assurance and the other in the field of the control and exploration of natural resources. [More…]
The main objective of the ARDB is to assist Australian enterprises to participate more fully in the development of Australia’s natural resources. [More…]
It was said that however desirable the proposition was that a committee should be established to investigate and organise relief after natural disasters, we really could not support such bodies. [More…]
Our natural resources, industries and our land itself are coming more and more under foreign control and domination. [More…]
I seek leave to incorporate in Hansard a document which was sent to me by Mr Hughes-Jones entitled ‘Who is to Control this Key Australian Asset’, which refers to natural gas. [More…]
The reservoir intersected by the North Rankin well is thicker than any one of the Bass Strait finds and almost half as thick again as the huge natural gas field discovered in the North Sea. [More…]
Mr McDonald said yesterday that the public generally was not aware of the value of a natural gas find. [More…]
Mr Franklin said the Japanese were aggressive seekers of natural gas as an energy source. [More…]
It is not an unfair exercise ot the mind to picture a situation in which, say, the world ruling price for natural gas in liquified form is of the order of 20c a thousand cubic feet. [More…]
While it is natural, proper and appropriate to criticise a Budget measure because it may fall short in certain fields and might need to be enlarged in other fields, nevertheless the decision taken by the Opposition in this case to move a motion which would defeat a Budget Bill is something which I suggest is not appropriate. [More…]
The reason for that is a very obvious and a very natural one. [More…]
Previously the exporter selling capital goods on long term conditions, with a guarantee from the Export Payments Insurance Corporation, naturally had to carry for a long time a contingent liability which would severely circumscribe his ability to obtain finance for other transactions. [More…]
That is only natural. [More…]
Bell Bay has the natural resources to accommodate the facilities required. [More…]
The bulk movement through Bell Bay shows a higher growth rate than the other ports and it would appear that under natural growth circumstances Bell Bay would tend to become the principal port for Tasmania. [More…]
One of the essential aspects of retaining viability in the economy of Tasmania is that it have a transport system which overcomes its natural disability created by that stretch of water known as Bass Strait. [More…]
The Council respectfully prays that the Senate will investigate this proposal and its accompanying threat of pollution and disturbance of the natural environment in the district surrounding the township of Coalcliff. [More…]
and (2) I did direct my Department to prepare a Paper on Australian policy towards the development of natural resources including the mineral industry. [More…]
It is only natural that this will be done. [More…]
Of course, the period is being considered in relation to the natural obsolescence of plant that will be superseded when the imperial system is replaced by the metric system. [More…]
There is the developing method of joint practices; there is the natural instinct for medicos to go overseas in search of higher degrees and to become Fellows of the Royal College of Surgeons in the United Kingdom. [More…]
I do not need to remind honourable senators that with the natural increase in the working population and with the intake of migrants which, though reduced, will continue, the. [More…]
It was natural that as the head of a recently formed government 1 should welcome the opportunity for discussions with the leaders of 2 major powers who are traditionally close friends and allies of this country. [More…]
Realisation of these plans will, the Committee believes, provide adequate safeguards for the future, however, the Committee is concerned at the present degree of reliance on the natural self-purification capacity of the Molonglo River. [More…]
For my part I think that it is natural that if parliamentary drafting work has little appeal to persons who come out from the universities there has to be some incentive to attract to the parliamentary drafting service persons who have the competence and the will to persist in the performance of drafting work. [More…]
We have relaxed certain aspects of the naturalisation procedures so that migrants will more readily accept Australian citizenship. [More…]
The method of naturalisation of migrants has been relaxed to the extent that they no longer have to go as far in swearing an oath as they previously did. [More…]
The entitlement to the age pension has been relaxed technically, but not to the extent that a natural born Australian or an immigrant who has accepted citizenship can obtain the benefits of the age pension if he has not had 10 years continuous residence in this country. [More…]
Therefore, it is fairly natural that he should call for a study in depth of the financing and other aspects of the immigration programme. [More…]
Honourable senators will note that specific purpose capital payments to the States, excluding natural disaster relief payments, are estimated to increase by 12.7 per cent in 1971-72, compared with an increase of 7.8 per cent in 1970-71. [More…]
If the airport is established there will be extensive damage to the ecology of natural bushland over a widespread area. [More…]
I think it is very apparent that what is required in Australia today is a scientific development of our natural resources. [More…]
We have the natural resources and we have a race of people who seem peculiarly adapted to this type of work. [More…]
There is no doubt that Australia is a world leader in the production of such natural resources as fissionable materials; fuel and energy resources. [More…]
It has started to invest money, but we believe that as well as the AIDC there should be a lead from the Government as to what should be done with our tremendous natural resources. [More…]
Japan is tremendously dependent on our natural resources, and it is becoming more and more dependent on them. [More…]
In a fuel and energy policy and in looking at the development of our natural resources we must look not only at the assets that we can sell arid at the secondary and tertiary developments but also at the ecology. [More…]
We have the natural resources and we have the type of people who are very good in this work- [More…]
What the honourable senator was talking about was the need for a national fuel policy, a consideration of overseas ownership of assets in Australia, a very wide-ranging argument dealing with an examination of natural resources, national fuel and capital investments. [More…]
I refer particularly to the resources of natural gas. [More…]
Japan is very anxious to purchase natural gas from Australia or from anywhere else in the world where it can be obtained. [More…]
Its main purpose in buying natural gas is to be able to reduce the pollution of its cities. [More…]
It would achieve this by using natural gas as a fuel in heavy industry and in other ways throughout its cities. [More…]
I believe that natural gas, used in a liquefied form in motor vehicles in city traffic, will be the fuel of the future for the reduction of pollution. [More…]
In the Bass Strait area we have control by ownership of 50 per cent of the natural gas in the area. [More…]
Not one ounce of natural gas or one teaspoonful of crude oil has been found within the 3-mile limit off shore. [More…]
There is one other very large deposit of natural gas in this country. [More…]
regulate the exploration, development, transportation, marketing and use of oil, natural gas, coal, fissionable materials and generative water, [More…]
If the airport is established there will be extensive damage tothe ecology of natural bushland over a widespead area. [More…]
In its approach to this subject, the Committee has not attempted the undertaking of any full-scale inquiry into the liquefied petroleum gas industry in Australia, nor has it examined the possible effects upon the Australian market as natural gas from fields other than Bass Strait come into production, and as piped natural gas becomes available to the Sydney Metropolitan area. [More…]
The report shows that LPG derived from Bass Strait natural gas, and which is exported overseas, is not always of the proper specification for general use in Australia. [More…]
It is strange that with our great reserves of coal, iron ore, natural gas and so on - you name it; we have it - never al any time has anyone suggested that the auction system should be used to dispose of these commodities. [More…]
It is fairly natural that unless something very spectacular takes place in a rather limited area then the financial viability of that area - in this instance Tasmania - is very much related to the limits of its ability to generate its own revenue and carry out its own functions. [More…]
It is natural and, J think, encouraging, that they should look to Australia in this, and the Australian Labor Party offers no opposition to Judge Nimmo taking up this appointment. [More…]
However in accordance with the penalty provisions of the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act the court ordered the forfeiture of all sedentary organisms found on the ship. [More…]
The other Act, to which I draw the honourable senator’s attention, is the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act 1968 under which the Commonwealth controls the exploitation of sedentary species over the entire continental shelf off Australia beyond the 3 miles limit. [More…]
Has the Government allowed a take-over by foreign interests of a great part of Australia’s natural resources and industries. [More…]
Now the British people find that the very people whom they have fought for so long are their natural allies and trading partners and that the old ideals and ideas of empire have faded away. [More…]
Yet we have the spectacle of the Japanese coming in and taking over our natural resources. [More…]
The desirability of establishing a national organisation to prepare for and deal with the effects of natural disasters such as fires, floods, droughts, cyclones and earth movements. [More…]
The desirability of establishing a national organi.sation to prepare for and deal with the effects of natural disasters such as fires, floods, droughts, cyclones and earth movements. [More…]
Australia is a land which is subject to recurring natural disasters. [More…]
Therefore we must regard ourselves as occupying a country in which natural disasters of considerable magnitude are not to be regarded as a surprise. [More…]
The failure to provide properly for it was mentioned by the then Secretary-General of the United Nations on 13th May 1971 when he issued a report entitled ‘Assistance in Cases of Natural Disaster’. [More…]
to provide an orderly and continuing means of assistance by the Federal government, the States and local governments in carrying .out their responsibilities to alleviate suffering and damage resulting from natural disasters, repair essential public facilities in major disasters. [More…]
From the point of view of Federal planning in Australia for natural disasters, it can be seen that each State has its own system. [More…]
Great natural calamities might strike at Queensland in the form of a cyclone, or Tasmania as happened in the case of the great bush fire, or somewhere else in the form of an earthquake. [More…]
Without dealing with any particular situation in the past regarding requests for Commonwealth assistance, it appears that where at the Federal level there is no definite system of planning and co-ordination against national disasters, there will always be confusion when a major natural catastrophe occurs. [More…]
I do not think anyone here differs on the need to prepare for the eventuality of the natural disasters which must come. [More…]
Let us set up this organisation so that we can do the best possible for those who are affected and for our nation in the event of other natural disasters which we must expect to occur. [More…]
The desirability of establishing a national organisation to prepare for and deal with the effects of natural disasters such as fires, floods, droughts, cyclones and earth movements. [More…]
The Leader of the Opposition admits that he is using the vehicle of a parliamentary procedure to express a view in relation to how natural disasters should be dealt with in Australia. [More…]
One of the basic fallacies in our attitude to the whole question of the relief of natural disasters is that we refuse persistently and consistently to accept this as a fact of life in this country. [More…]
The erosion of a beach which is the great commercial asset of a tourist area is as much a natural disaster to that area - to the traders who operate in the area, the land holders and the entrepreneurs who expend and commit their money there - as a major drought or a major bushfire is to another area. [More…]
Another aspect that has to be rethought is this: We think of the relief of natural disasters only in terms of rectification or the compensation that follows the occurrence of a disaster. [More…]
What Australia needs is a permanent secretariat, consisting of State and Federal officials, ready to anticipate and study natural disasters, evolve contingency plans and act as the co-ordinating body when asked to. [More…]
It investigated a somewhat similar proposition - the natural destruction by substantially human agencies of our water courses, our waterways and our littoral water. [More…]
f am sure that a co-ordinating body such as we contemplate would recommend methods by which people would be encouraged to mitigate against the possible consequences of natural disasters. [More…]
We are debating the desirability of establishing a national organisation to prepare for and deal with the effects of natural disasters such as fires, floods, droughts, cyclones and earth movements. [More…]
I support the motion that has been moved by the Leader of the Opposition in the Senate (Senator Murphy) in order to enable the Senate to discuss the desirability of establishing a national organisation to prepare for and deal with the effects of natural disasters such as fires, floods, droughts, cyclones and earth movements. [More…]
Senator Murphy has mentioned, and we all know, that several other countries have plans or have implemented plans to deal with natural disasters. [More…]
But generally speaking, the way in which we tackle these problems of natural disaster on a national scale is on a voluntary basis. [More…]
Is the only problem the setting up of a natural disaster fund? [More…]
Are we worrying only about the financial side Or are we worrying also about the physical effects of a natural disaster? [More…]
There is an obligation on all of us as individuals or as members of voluntary organisations, within the terms of our normal employment, to do something to alleviate the effects of a natural disaster. [More…]
Who are the people immediately involved, regardless of the kind of natural disaster that occurs? [More…]
Naturally the work of these people is overlaid by the work of other people. [More…]
Naturally, when one suffers a disaster one needs outside assistance. [More…]
I do not think any person in this ‘chamber can condemn or criticise the Commonwealth Government for its attitude to financial assistance in respect of natural disasters over the last 22 years. [More…]
I believe that an argument may well be put forward that members of the armed Services should be trained in some way to provide assistance in areas which suffer natural disasters. [More…]
Surely the armed Services are the only group to cope wilh a natural disaster. [More…]
How will these requirements be superimposed by some director of natural disasters situated in Canberra, with regional directors all about the place, drawing no doubt upon the talents of officers in all sorts of odd departments to meet the needs of a situation of this sort? [More…]
We have found out by actual experience that most of the problems that we have with floods, fires, droughts and all the other natural disasters are handled much better on a local basis. [More…]
No State of this Commonwealth has been free of the ravages of one or other of these natural disasters, and on each occasion very great misery, hardship, tremendous distress and damage to installations and property have followed in their wake. [More…]
Wc are indebted to Senator Murphy for having instituted this discussion in which we are considering (he desirability of establishing a national organisation to prepare for and deal with the effects of natural disasters such as tires, floods, droughts, cyclones and earth movement. [More…]
That implies immediately an organisation based in Canberra to deal with matters which arise from so-called natural disasters. [More…]
The purpose of the motion moved by Senator Murphy was to enable a discussion on the setting up of a national organisation to prepare for and to deal with the effects of natural disasters. [More…]
Relief and restoration measures other than the relief of personal hardship and distress resulting from natural disasters was regarded as a State responsibility. [More…]
In lieu of that we have our own natural resources and we have our own income. [More…]
She possesses vast quantities of financial reserves, natural resources and manpower, enabling the United States to accept a large responsibility in assisting the growth and development of the under-privileged nations of the world. [More…]
That is natural for a public service. [More…]
If there is a feature of life in our generation which has come to require our acceptance, it is the conservation of our natural environment and the fauna which inhabit it with us. [More…]
‘To me it was the natural thing to move into a political ideology where you endeavour to strengthen the individual personality and responsibility and call upon individuals to act on their own initiative. [More…]
To mc it was the natural thing to move into a political ideology where you endeavour to strengthen the individual personality and responsibility and call upon individuals to act on their own initiative. [More…]
I refer to recent statements by the Prime Minister and the Minister for Works that it is the intention of the Government to preserve the natural environment of Garden Island and Cockburn Sound, apart from those areas required for the naval facility. [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…]
We have to start developing our trade in the natural areas - that is among our neighbours in South East Asia and, for that matter, the whole of Asia. [More…]
Whilst I appreciate his views on these matters it is practical, natural and absolutely essential that we should be aware of what is likely to happen in the future. [More…]
It has by natural right a locus standi in the area. [More…]
We have a natural interest in the strategic balance in the Indian Ocean generally as a component of the global strategic balance. [More…]
So it is only natural that Senator Murphy should look wistfully towards us. [More…]
What I do suggest to you is that restrictive trade practices provide for prices to be determined on an arbitrary basis, which is neither regulated by the natural forces of supply and demand, nor necessarily in the interests of other than the persons who engage itf. [More…]
The natural corollary is that if somebody wants to belong to another political party, whether it be Senator Gair’s Party or the Communist Party, that person has every right to do so. [More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Minister for National Developmen’ whether it is true that an attempt by 10,000 Australians to buy land in the Simpson Desert area for 20c an acre in order to retain it as natural parkland and thus prevent its sale to American interest has been rejected. [More…]
This Act does not apply to or in relation to the offence of murder committed by a person undergoing imprisonment for the term of his natural life where the person murdered was a member of the Commonwealth Police Force or of the Police Force of a State or Territory of the Commonwealth, or a person employed in a prison or other place of custody of offenders. [More…]
Honourable senators will notice that the difference between this amendment and the previous one is that in this case the accused is already in prison for the term of his natural life. [More…]
Not only does it have the natural advantage of large internal and close external markets but it also has the active encouragement of government to maintain efficiency. [More…]
There is an interdependability in Australia between the manufacture of boilers and power units and the use of our own natural products, just as there is between our growing mining and metallurgical machinery production and our growing mining industry. [More…]
worn out theories have proved to be not only unsuccessful but disastrous in that in a country with vast natural resources and the capacity to export we have priced ourselves out of our potential markets. [More…]
The luck that the Government had in the discovery of our natural resources and being able to sell out the farmers is running out. [More…]
It has been known for several years that Phytophthora cinnamoni has been present in soils of the Australian Capital Territory both within the city and in the natural forests. [More…]
The creation of this body is probably a natural extension, but it is a wonder, when one looks back over the whole history of the Bailey appeals system, that the necessity for such a body has not arisen before. [More…]
On the facts presented on that occasion, I do think there was a denial of natural justice. [More…]
I cannot understand why the Opposition should take this stand now when in a particular case the very sensitive matter of natural justice, in my connotation, was being attacked and assailed. [More…]
They would be better off under the tribal system where at least they would have plenty of natural food including fruit and nuts to collect as well as game. [More…]
That was a natural reaction. [More…]
It is only natural that as these Bills relate, to a degree, to both sections of our dual system of education a good deal of this debate is centring around the general and much debated question of aid to independent schools. [More…]
That, having regard to the fact that Australia is becoming increasingly urbanised, the need to preserve such a wilderness area as Lake Pedder in its natural state is considered by a large number of persons as being of vitalimportance for the well-being of the present and unborn generations of Australians. [More…]
Is it true that an attempt by 10,000 Australians to buy land in the Simpson Desert area for 20 cents an acre, to retain it as natural parkland and thus prevent its sale to American interests, has been rejected. [More…]
As I mentioned in reply to an interjection by Senator Little, the beekeepers or apiarists are very much affected by the climatic conditions that exist in our country, and especially such natural disasters as fire, flood, drought and, I suppose, cyclones insofar as the State of Queensland is concerned. [More…]
Goldfish have a wide temperature tolerance and therefore could contaminate most natural waters in Australia including trout streams and lakes in southern Australia. [More…]
In the course of examining the operative and available law and administrative procedures, suggestions would be made and I see no reason why there should be a specification of something which is normal, natural and will flow almost inevitably from the deliberations undertaken before the Committee reaches its decision. [More…]
The measurements shown are upper limits and correspond to about 0.1 and 2.2 per cent of the average annual background radiation from natural sources. [More…]
It is a natural bi-product of what I am outlining. [More…]
(b) of the Income Tax Act which gives a 100 per cent tax deduction for clearing land of natural growth? [More…]
Is this a Commonwealth subsidy to destroy natural growth to permit the uneconomical production of primary industries already in over-supply, which again necessitates a [More…]
Is the original subsidy in the form a tax deduction to be supplemented by a further subsidy so improvishing the nation, depriving it of the natural flora and fauna and at the same time creating higher taxes? [More…]
Does anyone believe that we would have had today what is a most significant import replacement, namely, our resources of off-shore petroleum and natural gas in the Bass Strait area, if it had not been for overseas capital? [More…]
I drew Senator Cant’s attention last time I spoke on this matter to the fact that Mr Tonkin, the Labor Premier of Western Australia, only recently returned from a trip overseas on which he tried to attract Japanese capital into Western Australia in order to develop effectively the natural gas resources of that State. [More…]
They said that when developed it could rank with the Great Barrier Reef and Ayers Rock as a great Australian natural attraction. [More…]
Man cannot survive on this planet without utilising ils natural resources prudently. [More…]
Under the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act I96S, three boats, involving a total of four apprehensions [More…]

On 8 November 1967, Senator Wright’s motion was amended, on the motion of Senator Murphy, to include provision for the Committee to inquire into: whether the legislation makes adequate provision for Australian ownership and/or control or Australian participation in the ownership and/or control of Australia’s off-shore resources of oil and natural gas.’ [More…]
We recommend that a national pipelines policy be implemented immediately, and that legislation be enacted - this may require the co-operation of the States - to regulate the construction and operation of pipelines for the carriage interstate or intra-state of oil and natural gas. [More…]
There are loadings going on to the cost of natural gas in Queensland because of the private construction of pipelines. [More…]
In New South Wales, the mother State of the Commonwealth with the largest capital city, there is no natural gas available yet. [More…]
But as the situation stands at the moment, because of the inability of New South Wales and Victoria to reach agreement on pricing natural gas. [More…]
The policies adopted for the development of an Australia oil and natural gas industry have caused continuing increases in the price which the motoring public is required to pay for petrol. [More…]
Also, the householder being provided with natural gas is paying more for his fuel than would be payable if, as suggested to the Committee, a pricing formula for natural gas - irrespective of where it is produced - similar to that used by the United States of America Federal Power Commission were adopted in Australia. [More…]
So, who decides what prices will be paid for oil, its by-products and natural gas in Australia? [More…]
This action in turn is adding to the drain of our natural resources to overseas investments. [More…]
But in my view the Commonwealth and the States are not receiving sufficient revenue from this great discovery of a natural resource which has potential for helping this country to do so many things which it should be able to do. [More…]
In the first place, they reveal the way in which the Communists will take advantage of the natural affection which persons who have established a new life in this country have for the homeland from which they have come. [More…]
There is a natural feeling which is being exploited. [More…]
In the last election campaign in Queensland 3 years ago it was only natural that the Country Party Premier of Queensland and his Cabinet Ministers, on their tours of the State, would come in for some criticism in country areas regarding the inequality of freight charges. [More…]
It is only natural that there is no provision whereby the Commonwealth can grant assistance to the State to provide for this circumstance. [More…]
In lots of the other States the main railway lines and arterial roads are fairly close to the capital cities and the seaboard and in some States the length of railway lines and of roads is very small in comparison with the situation in Queensland and the number of people who contribute to the upkeep of those systems is 2 or 3 times as great, lt is only natural that the cost of maintaining rail services in Queensland is great. [More…]
It is only natural for any thinking person to agree that the Queensland Government is right in getting what assistance it can, even if that assistance has to come from the Commonwealth Grants Commission. [More…]
Senator Maunsell indicated that Queensland was subject to natural calamities to a far greater extent than the other States. [More…]
We have heard sad stories from the Queensland Premier and his colleagues about all the money that the State has spent as a result of natural disasters, firstly, the big drought, and secondly the damage caused by floods and cyclones late last year and early this year. [More…]
There is no suggestion in the application by Queensland that any of this money will be used in the future to relieve the plight of victims of natural disasters. [More…]
We were told a long time ago that this area was to be preserved as a natural forest. [More…]
That seems to be the natural result. [More…]
It has now been proposed that the time limit be reduced by one-third and Senator Young has suggested as a natural corollary to agreeing to such a proposal that there should be a reduction of onethird in the time limit of all speakers in such a debate, lt would be making a joke of the whole procedure of democracy if this motion were carried. [More…]
Let me take the heat out of the debate by saying that the protection of natural justice is no monopoly of anyone in this chamber. [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…]
The day we do this will be the day we do a disservice to Parliament and to natural justice. [More…]
Let there be no doubt at all that as far as I am concerned, and I hope I speak for all honourable senators on my side of the House, if any citizen in this country feels that he has been denied natural justice let him come forward, produce the evidence and we will help him to get the full recourse of justice under the law. [More…]
The work of these groups has added much to our knowledge of the sea around us; but with the immensity of our coastline - over 12,000 miles - ranging as it does from temperate through sub-tropical to tropical zones it is clear that, if we are to make the best use of our natural resources, our efforts in the field of marine science need to be strengthened. [More…]
How must a worker feel when he knows that a government sells the natural resources of his State and receives a royalty of 5c a ton on coal and bauxite? [More…]
What must be the worker’s thoughts about his country giving away its natural resources to overseas interests? [More…]
That was a fairly natural consequence of a relatively small population. [More…]
The growth in the population of the Australian Capital Territory, bringing with it a natural and consequent requirement for a greater amount of legal advice and services, has brought about a development of the legal system in the Australian Capital Territory to the point that it now has reached. [More…]
Another important aspect is the future role of the Australian Stevedoring Industry, Authority about which its staff has a natural concern. [More…]
When it was objected to by Senator Murphy that the client for whom he was appearing had not been given natural justice because no evidence of the charge that had been laid against him had been produced, His Honour stated: [More…]
I think that the problem, if I can recall it from my earlier work, was in defining the park boundaries and obtaining what might be called a merger of the various interests which were the interests of people living in houses, people wanting natural recreation, the needs of the water supply programme and water shed protection, the needs of the park and the needs of forestry in an area which has some substantial limits for a number of the purposes. [More…]
In saying that I understand the natural wish of all honourable senators to be able to make inquiries about things that concern them. [More…]
If from time to time they claim they are being unfairly treated by the Department of Civil Aviation or the Minister, perhaps we might ascribe it to a little natural selfinterest. [More…]
Coral spreads very rapidly if it is left alone in its natural environment. [More…]
There again nature, through one of the forms of marine life which it has created, has destroyed its own natural beauty. [More…]
The programme of the Committee is such that it will be necessary for it to sit through the recess - of course, that is natural for any committee - but it would also appear that the Committee will be sitting on each Monday and Friday of the spring parliamentary session, and almost every week during the recess. [More…]
The early settlers of New South Wales who were insistent that this land be kept in its natural state were looking a long way ahead. [More…]
The burden of my remarks is that with proper planning - I am not being aggressive towards the States - there is not the faintest reason why some of the natural bushland oases cannot be protected and not sacrified to the bulldozer. [More…]
The only available information on future Soviet consumption of forest products suggests that, even if the norms of utilisation in mining construction, railroad transport, etc., are lowered by one and a half to two times, the national economy will need a yearly supply of more than thirty-five billion cubic feet, which exceeds the natural productivity of the forest’. [More…]
These considerations lead to the conclusion that countries in which natural softwood resources are deficient would do well to develop softwood plantations, as is being done in Australia. [More…]
In making this assessment the Committee has, in 2 instances, compared the levels of radiation dose due to fallout with the dose received from natural background to which populations have been exposed since the beginning of life on this earth. [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…]
In part of its evaluation of the hazards to health of the 1971 French tests, the National Radiation Advisory Committee followed a practice, adopted by the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation, namely that of comparing the radiation doses from nuclear weapon tests with the doses inevitably received by the community from natural background radiation. [More…]
The average natural background radiation dose to a person in the Australian communities is about 100 millirad per year. [More…]
However the natural background varies from place to place due to such factors as altitude and the amount of naturally occurring radioactive materia] in the soil. [More…]
In a given location, the annual dose due to natural sources also varies from person to person duc to such factors as the materials used in the construction of buildings in which they live and work and the amount of time they spend indoors and out-of-doors. [More…]
Taking all these factors into account the actual radiation dose due to natural background radiation received by persons would vary, one from the other, from the annual average by up to about 10 millirad per year. [More…]
Some of the population living at altitude or in areas of high natural radioactivity would receive annual radiation doses greater than the average by 50 per cent or more. [More…]
If the conservative assumption of direct proportionality between dose and biological effects, without a minimum or threshold dose, is applied it follows that this dose would have given rise as a total to less than 1 per cent of the same biological effects in each and every year which are due to the average natural background radiation dose. [More…]
Any biological effects would have been less than those which would result from the variations which occur in natural background radiation from place to place and for individual to individual. [More…]
The question of the development of Australia’s natural resources consonant with the protection of the Australian environment is becoming of tremendous significance. [More…]
This type of confrontation or conflict is becoming significant in every country, but perhaps nowhere more so than in this continent where there is now this tremendous drive for the exploration, exploitation and development of our natural resources. [More…]
- The State shall ensure that natural forests shall not be cleared for planting softwoods unless the particular proposed clearing has beforehand been the subject of an environmental impact study made by an independent expert on behalf of the Australian Forestry Council and the Council after considering the report of the said study has approved the particular clearing. [More…]
the retention so far as possible of what relatively little remains of our natural forests and landscapes instead of destroying them whether in order: [More…]
to replace natural forests by specially planted exotic forests which would better by planted on farm and grazing lands no longer economic; [More…]
We know there must always be found that reconciliation between the legitimate need to explore natural resources and the protection of the environment and sometimes one or the other may have to be sacrificed. [More…]
We understand, of course, that the development and expansion of a softwoods industry is a natural part of our national economic growth and part of our commercial operations. [More…]
We feel that already there has been a heavy denudation of our natural forests and this process must be impeded if it cannot be stopped. [More…]
Recently in our Federal conference we carried a resolution that we wanted to retain as far as possible what relatively little remains of our natural forests. [More…]
We know that all States are concerned and have passed legislation declaring natural forests and have surrounded them with all types of prohibitions on entry, on use and on the lighting of fires, and have expanded fire services, because this is a diminishing national asset which is extraordinarily precious and is virtually irreplaceable except over a long period of time, as nature has demonstrated to us. [More…]
I am informed that in New South Wales - I am not from that State - there are particular problems which have led the New South Wales Forestry Commission to undertake to destroy certain natural forests to enable the planting of monterey pines. [More…]
I am informed also that in one case the New South Wales Forestry Commission contemplates the elimination of a natural eucalypt forest on the Boyd Plateau in the western Blue Mountains some 65 miles west of Sydney to enable the planting of pines for eventual milling at Oberon some 40 miles away. [More…]
The Democratic Labor Party feels that the Commonwealth should lay down as a matter of principle, so far as it lies within its constitutional power to do so, that the use of land for pine plantations should wherever possible be in areas of this kind rather than in areas which would involve the displacement of the natural flora. [More…]
- The State shall ensure that natural forests shall not be cleared for planting softwoods unless the particular proposed clearing has beforehand been the subject of an environmental impact study made by an independent expert on behalf of the Australian Forestry Council and the Council after considering the report of the said study has approved the particular clearing’. [More…]
That is the type of investigation which appears to me to be completely logical and wise and it is certainly in consonance with the new sensitivity of this nation in relation to environmental protection and the general conservation of flora and fauna and natural resources. [More…]
After all, it would involve the conservation of State assets and ecology and way of natural life. [More…]
The official Opposition regards this amendment as a natural corollary to the amendment which we sponsored at the second reading stage. [More…]
He is asking the Senate to decide upon clause 9a, which states what the States shall do in relation to natural forests. [More…]
To me, ‘natural’ is the interesting word. [More…]
We are dealing purely with natural forests. [More…]
So far as natural forests are concerned, I am afraid that I cannot speak with great knowledge of the situation in New South Wales or Queensland, but certainly in relation to the natural forests which exist in my own State of Victoria and in Tasmania I am aware that there is great environmental interest if environment’ covers the regeneration of the type of forest which exists in natural forests. [More…]
I think that in relation to natural forests it would be a financial and commercial assessment as to whether the forest was of a type that could be productive or whether it was one which was best cleared, burned and planted with pinus radiata or one of the other pine species that have become established these days. [More…]
The honourable senator’s amendment refers to natural forests, lt refers to no others. [More…]
It refers only to natural forests. [More…]
It states that in natural forests there should be an environmental impact study. [More…]
I think that Senator Little or myself could probably range through an area and say whether the natural forest should be left as it is. [More…]
Perhaps that idea would appeal to us if we lived nearby or if we lived in the heart of Sydney and rode once a year, or at least when there was a bandwagon, to a particular area and declared that the area should be left in its natural state. [More…]
The first problem is the one that Senator Webster mentioned: What is a natural forest? [More…]
Senator Webster does not know, but he could tell us many areas that are not natural forests. [More…]
What is a natural forest is beyond my knowledge, but those engaged in forestry work might have a knowledge as to what is a natural forest. [More…]
Under the amendment the only inquiry is into the clearing of natural forests. [More…]
There has to be an inquiry into the clearing of natural forests. [More…]
The State shall ensure that natural forests shall not be cleared for planting softwoods unless the particular proposed clearing has beforehand been the subject of an environmental impact study . [More…]
Secondly, forests, whether natural or man made, constitute one of man’s few renewable resources. [More…]
It states that forests are a natural haven for a large part of Australia’s unique wildlife. [More…]
He said: ‘So that the natural wildlife and kangaroos from the cleared land can pass into the forest land.’ [More…]
Senator Byrne is quite concerned at the setting aside of any consideration of natural forest. [More…]
However, in the absence of measures which let the States destroy willy-nilly natural growth and animal life without affording any protection to them, one is forced into the position of supporting the amendment. [More…]
We should know all the arguments - the pros and cons - and draw the line somewhere between what we should do to protect the natural fauna and flora and what is necessary - and there must be some necessity for destruction - for the purpose of the progress of Australia. [More…]
was a sell-out to overseas interests of great Australian natural resources, and, indeed, a sell-out of the last vestige of Australian control of the oil and gas leases on the north-west continental shelf. [More…]
Does control of Australia’s natural resources remain with the Australian Government. [More…]
I regard this as the approach which we should make to most of such reports; that is, once the Senate has gone to the trouble of having a select committee investigate a subject, and matters flow from it - as they do in this report - the natural course ought to be to send those recommendations to the appropriate committees in order that they will remain alive and that recommendations might come out of those committees in order to implement the report. [More…]
In accordance with established procedures for reimbursement of eligible State expenditures on natural disaster relief, payments are made on the basis of claims submitted by tile responsible State authorities which are subject to verification by the State Auditor-General. [More…]
care to see the natural, beautiful surroundings of Parliament House upset or destroyed in any way. [More…]
In this country it is necessary toremember always that it was –the changing of the natural environment as: it was when discovered by people who .came from Europe in the early days which, has made it possible for what was once almost a desert to bloom and blossom in small parts today and give us a satisfactory way of life. [More…]
If I were permitted to hazard a guess I would say that the natural trend will be towards an increase in this trend as time goes on. [More…]
I suggest that the pink pages contain certain repetition because, Tasmania being such a small State, it is only natural, 1 think, that the various sections of the State which form one integrated unit will advertise in each directory. [More…]
The vast majority of the natural resources are owned by Australia, the United States of America, Japan and Britain, and there are some other foreign shareholders. [More…]
They are taking away its natural assets to line their own pockets. [More…]
That drop represents, as a result of the Government’s policy taken earlier this year, a natural selling by overseas owners to Australian residents which has had the effect of reducing the overseas ownership. [More…]
A few examples of those are the services provided by the departments of Primary Industry, Trade and Industry and National Development as well as the assistance given to the States for natural disaster relief, beef cattle roads, water resource projects and the like. [More…]
Pointing out that natural growth and inflation have kept Federal tax increases to a minimum, they said: [More…]
The members of the ALP want to open the floodgates to foreign immigration and at the same time restrict our natural increase in population. [More…]
They include the prevailing geographical and climatic conditions, aesthetic factors, such as natural vegetation, trees, greenery and open space, and so on. [More…]
It is natural that those who cannot gain admission to universities should turn to colleges of advanced education. [More…]
In the event of persons being convicted of sabotage and terror or conspiring to commit acts of sabotage and terror such as the recent bombings in Sydney, will the Government deport such people if they are not naturalised citizens of Australia? [More…]
What steps can the Government take regarding deportation if such persons are recently naturalised citizens of Australia? [More…]
Will the Government make provision for any persons so convicted and remaining in Australia to be gaoled for the term of their natural lives with no provisions for parole? [More…]
I remind the honourable senator of the experience of the wool industry when synthetics were making vast inroads into the market of the natural fibre and the expenditure at the present time on wool promotion. [More…]
That rate does not even keep up with the natural growth in the community. [More…]
The environment had changed completely and absolutely by the intrusion of white settlers who brought with them new knowledge and experience and who were able for the first time to apply the advantages of capitalisation to the enormous natural resources of this country - resources which at that time had not been exploited, such as the mineral resources which no-one knew existed in this country. [More…]
What we have to decide as a result of the natural sympathy that we all feel and which I had already expressed without contest, without an interjection, which exists on all sides of the House, is to do something, perhaps in different ways, to help solve these problems. [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…]
One could easily eat the natural food in 500 square miles of this territory in 6 to 12 months after which time nothing would be left but a barren area. [More…]
The natural corollary is that the way is open now for foreign ships to be dumped on the Australian market to the severe detriment of the local industry. [More…]
Australia is a land with vast spaces, beautiful beaches and all the natural facilities necessary to encourage sport. [More…]
While opposing violence, I ask that there be in Australia a human understanding that all people who have been forced out of Iron Curtain countries have, in their hearts, a natural hunger to form freedom bodies in the hope that one day they will return to their countries. [More…]
In spite of what we are told today, our immigration programme and our natural increase will never, on present tendencies, ensure that we will have a rate of growth sufficient to develop this country and to maintain th: standards that exist today. [More…]
The Australian industrial community, including not only those who arc the industrialists but also those who are working in the industry and who are dependent on it for their livelihood, has been concerned by the events which have been revealed in the last week or so relating to the construction of what may be described as the initial part of the reticulation of natural gas for Australia which is to be carried out not with pipelines manufactured from Australian steel by Australian industry but with Japanese steel imported by the Australian Gas Light Co. at a cost of about S54m. [More…]
This, naturally, has caused great concern in industry, to the unions and to the workers who could be affected by the loss of employment in the steel and pipelines industries. [More…]
Natural gas is predicted to supply, in various ways, from 10 per cent up to perhaps 30 or 40 per cent of our fuel needs by the end of the century. [More…]
United States, where there is a developing shortage of natural gas, and Japan - that there will be a worldwide demand for natural gas and that, for a number of reasons, Australia will want to develop its utilisation of natural gas. [More…]
Almost certainly it will embark upon reticulation of natural gas. [More…]
There will be pipelines joining the major cities with the natural gas supply areas. [More…]
My reading of the report is that all of those concerned with this development said that there had to be a national policy, that the Government had to be involved in the question of the transportation of natural gas and that it could not be left to develop as have our railways. [More…]
1 believe that does not apply only to natural gas in which my own company is primarily interested. [More…]
Regulate the exploration, development, transportation, marketing and use of oil, natural gas, coal, fissionable materials and generative water and prevent the depletion of fuel and energy resources needed to match Australia’s requirements . [More…]
Here is our programme - we will do the best we can to work out how these natural resources can be developed and where the pipelines will go. [More…]
When one is dealing with the prospective energy requirements of a nation, of which natural gas will be a important part, I do not think it is useful to divert this argument into what the constitutional powers may be because this is a subject which is fundamental to this nation. [More…]
Not only is the supply and movement of natural gas fundamental but also the prosperity of the steel industry and industries associated with it and the livelihood of persons who depend on those industries are fundamental. [More…]
But at the moment we are speaking about the conveyance of great quantities of natural gas in that convenient form. [More…]
The Palm Valley field has natural gas far in excess of the South Australian field. [More…]
We ought to be making a national plan now in relation to how this interstate transportation of natural gas is to occur. [More…]
are some 3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas in the Gidgealpa field and some 45. trillion cubic feet in the parts of the north .west shelf which have already been tested. [More…]
The great decisions as to what is to happen to this natural gas resource should not be made by the Pacific Lighting Corporation or by Japanese interests. [More…]
If it comes from Japan is it to be paid for by the export of natural gas to Japan or in some other form? [More…]
A national decision should be made on these issues in the context of what is to be done in the development and piping of natural gas in Australia. [More…]
But at a time when the general practitioner is squealing to high heaven about doctors not being fully utilised if we are giving subsidies as a natural corollary it is time that the Minister had talks with the Australian Medical Association. [More…]
In other words, the Agreement which is now contemplated for conclusion between the Commonwealth and the States requires that the States shall take environmental factors rft to consideration when afforestation with softwoods is being considered, natural areas are being interfered with and natural forests are being destroyed.

But it has a responsibility here to see not only that we retain the fullest interest in our natural resources but also that whatever benefit comes from them should flow to the Australian people. [More…]
We are fortunate enough to have found these new natural resources. [More…]
We do not claim any expert knowledge in the construction of natural gas pipeline systems, to express an opinion on the timing of the project. [More…]
But because of the Government’s ineptitude, Sydney has been deprived of the use of natural gas for a period of more than 5 years. [More…]

The Government should have recognised the potential of natural gas and realised that it was going to become a major source of fuel supply in this country. [More…]
Clearly, so far as the Australian Gas Light Co. is concerned, it is a matter of sour grapes because it missed out on some of the earlier exploratory rights in the natural gas field. [More…]
The Government is prepared to subsidise the shipbuilding industry and many other industries; so why does it not take the initiative and attempt to get an Australian industry retooled so that it can carry out its responsibility to provide components for the natural gas industry? [More…]

[More…]
This proposed reference to the Standing Committee on Industry and Trade relates to the controversy that has arisen out of the supply of pipes for the Moomba to Sydney pipeline from the South Australian natural gas field and provides an excellent opportunity for a thorough examination of the need for a national policy and planning on energy exploration, in this case natural gas. [More…]
Every country in the developed and industrialised world which possesses supplies of natural gas has a national policy to ensure the efficiency and economic utilisation of this invaluable power source - that is, every country except Australia. [More…]
Without any doubt the use of natural gas for domestic and industrial purposes will increase rapidly over the next few years. [More…]

This is only the beginning of the use of our natural gas resources. [More…]
It will be proved to be one of the richest natural gas fields in the world. [More…]
But somehow or other that natural gas has to be brought to the centres of population. [More…]
As a natural consequence of these huge resources being available, the present concept is that the pipeline will go to Moomba and eventually out to Mareenie where there are enormous resources of natural gas and to the tight sand oil resources in the Amadeus basin. [More…]
It is a natural step to take these resources across the desert, as has happened in other countries which have this problem, and connect up with the north-west shelf. [More…]
To allow the first stage of the utilisation of natural gas resources - onshore resources - to start off in a hotch potch way, as I see the situation at the present time, Ls something which the people of Australia will resent. [More…]
Not only from the point of view of pollution is natural gas desirable and more suitable in densely populated areas but, from our point of view as a nation, the plentiful reserves have come at a very opportune time when the use of natural gas is becoming better known and more widely demanded. [More…]

One has only to examine the report on Australia’s Natural Resources - Minerals, Forests, Water and Energy’, presented to the House of Representatives recently by the Minister for National Development (Sir Reginald Swartz), to appreciate the tremendous potential of natural gas. [More…]
As indicated in that report, until recently half of our total energy requirements were met by petroleum products other than natural gas. [More…]
It is not just a matter of providing steel tubing; it is not just a matter of providing component parts for 780 miles of pipeline to handle 0.04 per cent, according to the estimates presented by Sir Reginal Swartz, of the natural gas resources of Australia. [More…]
We in the Labor Party believe that natural gas will afford the same stimulation; that it will play a very important part in the future development of Australia. [More…]

We believe that the concept of the natural gas pipeline ignores the Commonwealth’s interest in decentralisation and does not take into account any of the long term plans for regional development. [More…]
We believe therefore that it is within the competence of the Senate to say that the Commonwealth should take some initiative to link the private development that is associated with natural gas with the long term planning for the public sector. [More…]
In point of fact, I recall that not so long ago Senator Byrne and some of his colleagues were quite vocal on the matter of the environment and the natural habitat, and with the assistance of the Australian Labor Party they were successful in carrying a resolution that the Senate request the Government to have another look at its softwoods legislation because the environment was very much affected by it.

The Australian Labor Party has made it clear and makes no secret of the fact that we will be establishing a public corporation to market natural gas. [More…]
We will work in concert with the Stales because in the main they provide the public corridors that would enable natural gas to be brought from the fields where it abounds in great quantities into the areas where it will be able to play, as it has played in many countries, a very significant part in reducing production costs and providing cheaper fuel for the consumer. [More…]
The Government said in the document presented by Sir Reginald Swartz to which I referred previously that it will not permit, except in the most exceptional circumstances, the export of natural gas. [More…]
The costs of acquiring the private property and the public property which must be traversed by the pipeline, the economic consequences of natural gas, the effects upon the environment, the effects upon the future development of new cities and an active policy of decentralisation are surely all matters which come within the province of the Commonwealth. [More…]

But once we confer the citizenship of this country upon a person who has come to this country as an immigrant and who has resided in this country we owe to that person 2 things: We owe him the obligation, firstly, that we will treat him as an equal of persons who are natural-born Australians and subject him to no penalties, prohibitions or disabilities which are different from those to which the natural-born citizens are subjected; and, secondly, that we will not deport him to a country where he may be dealt with not on the basis of his conduct but simply on the basis of his political opinions. [More…]
We have seen a host of non-natural-born Australians subjected to police raids and police searches over the past weeks, the like of which this country has never experienced in the whole of its history. [More…]
Attitudes have changed and the Government and the Opposition are as one in maintaining that there is an absolute equality of treatment which must be accorded to all Australian citizens irrespective of whether they be natural born or naturalised and that Australian’s who are not natural born Australians should not be deported. [More…]
We acknowledge the recognition, by the present Government of the steps which the preceding Government has taken and in which we take some pride and we naturally would support the Bill. [More…]
All honourable senators ought to take pride in the fact that generally there has been a bipartisan approach in regard to this type of aircraft offence, and it is only natural that the Opposition would wish this Bill a speedy passage. [More…]
But with the development of technology, with the demand for new materials and the discovery of vast natural resources on the sea. [More…]
Therefore we can expect to find that there will be a continuing necessity for Australia to be adverting from time to time to its boundary relations and its sovereignty over areas adjacent to the vast Australian coastline, as other nations wish to exploit the natural resources of a marine character. [More…]
In the other place the responsible Minister, the Minister for Minerals and Energy (Mr Connor), when introducing this Bill stated that it seeks to establish a Pipeline Authority for the transmission of petroleum, natural gas and other hydrocarbons, by interstate ring main pipeline systems. [More…]
In its essential factor, it is carrying petroleum, natural gas and other hydrocarbons. [More…]
There are a few examples in Australia of pipelines carrying articles other than petroleum, natural gas and water. [More…]
Nonetheless, the expansion of this system could go beyond the carriage of petroleum and natural gas. [More…]
There is concern at this monopoly power over the sale of natural gas. [More…]
There is the power given to the Authority to subscribe for or otherwise acquire shares in a public company, which seems to us to give it power to take over such companies and, in effect, effectively to nationalise the natural gas industry and to make it a total captive. [More…]
It rather looks to us as if there will be a considerable delay in the scheme in providing natural gas and energy to [More…]
There can be no doubt that there is a growing necessity for a national policy in relation to the conveyance of these great natural resources of Australia which are being found now in greater abundance both on-shore and off-shore. [More…]
The recent discoveries of natural gas in various parts of Australia indicate the prospect of larger discoveries of such an important source of energy. [More…]
natural gas or oil fields. [More…]
I think it is of importance to stress that the location of these natural gas and oil fields, which have .been, found and, which we have every reason to believe will, be found in greater abundance, presents ;this nation with a remarkable opportunity for .decentralisation. [More…]
It is all very well to say ;that .these natural resources should be ? [More…]
As a Western Australian, naturally I think firstly of the prospects that the discoveries, of natural gas off the north-west shelf of Australia present for the development of the Pilbara region of Western Australia, a region ‘already famous for the richness of its mineral deposits, particularly iron ore. [More…]
The Government’s object in creating this Pipeline Authority is ostensibly to provide a cheap, convenient and efficient means of conveying the natural resources of petroleum from one part of Australia to another. [More…]
What would be the point of a link of that kind when already there are perfectly adequate sources of natural gas for the eastern seaboard in areas such as Moonie, Gidgealpa and Bass Strait? [More…]
It would be wrong, at this stage certainly, to be draining the natural gas sources off the north-west shelf for consumption in Sydney when those resources present a golden opportunity for regional development in the area in which they exist, such as in the region of Pilbara. [More…]
I well imagine that there could be, or should be, serious objections from some members of the public to a pipeline being built in their area, or through a particular place of natural beauty, or where some local interest would be destroyed. [More…]
We recommend that a national pipelines policy be implemented immediately and that the legislation be enacted - this may require the co-operation of the States - to regulate the construction and operation of pipelines for the carrying interstate or intra-State of oil and natural gas. [More…]
I point out that Sydney has needed natural gas for many years. [More…]
It is simple and has the clear and definite purpose to set up an authority’ with adequate powers to construct and operate a major public utility having the responsibility of making one of our greatest natural resources available to the Australian people. [More…]
By that I mean that the farms could be farming natural resources of all descriptions such as gas, oil, minerals or any other resources with which our country seems to be so richly endowed. [More…]
We will also see that our natural resources - our iron ore deposits, our steel making processes and the long line that goes from the raw metal to the completed pipeline - will be, as far as possible, utilised by Australians for Australia. [More…]
Planned supplies of natural gas will be made available to Sydney. [More…]
The total concept will provide a completely interconnected grid system, ensuring back-up supplies in case of interruption by, natural calamities or exhaustion of supply from an individual source. [More…]
The simple purpose of this measure is to set up an authority with adequate powers to construct and operate a major public utility having the responsibility of making one of our greatest natural resources available to the Australian people. [More…]
The Arabian States of the world were not in a similar position, but this natural resource had to be exported. [More…]
When one speaks about the preservation of natural resources one could even recall the turn of the century and the schism that split the Republican Party in the United States when there was a changeover from President Theodore Roosevelt to Howard Taft. [More…]
Even in those days - and I say this with deference to Senator Webster - it was not a case of socialists being in the wings and deciding what should be done with natural resources. [More…]
I have a particular reason for saying that because at the present time in the United States the Government is extracting from the natural gas industry and the oil industry a pretty sizable rake-off which is going into the celebrated Land Water Act which set up a repository of feed-back money to the States, be it for such a mundane subject as better sewerage treatment works, for conservation or the acquisition of vast tracts of forest land. [More…]
I sincerely believe that whether it be a State enterprise or a private business enterprise a levy must be imposed to protect not so much natural resources as the natural environment so that people can at least experience the good aspects of the Australian continent and sec that they are protected. [More…]
He has indicated quite clearly to me in letters that the policy of the United States Senate towards more and more demands for conservation is that instead of the taxpayer having to pay for them, it will dig more deeply into the pockets of the big exploiters of resources, d have no doubt that under this Bill we will be able to keep a very effective hand on the tiller so far as the income from our natural resources is concerned. [More…]
I think that this legislation represents another milestone to Australia which is well and truly protecting its natural resources. [More…]
On the face of it, it appears to be setting up regulatory authority to establish throughout Australia an interstate ring main pipeline for the carriage and distribution of petroleum and natural gas products. [More…]
In the domestic area there is the real possibility that natural gas will reduce domestic fuel bills by anything from 20 per cent to 35 per cent and in the industrial area by 30 per cent to double that percentage. [More…]
So natural gas presents a very important new resource to the people of Australia. [More…]
That definition shows that the Authority does not deal just with pipelines; it is not just an Authority which deals with oil and natural gas. [More…]
It is the natural institution to do this and money would have been saved if it had constructed the pipeline. [More…]
The Opposition would not in any way oppose the idea of a pipeline authority in a regulatory sense which is set up to see that throughout Australia there is a network of pipelines carrying in an equitable fashion petroleum and natural gas to the people of Australia. [More…]
Honourable senators opposite have the audacity to say that the best way to establish the pipeline is to leave it to the same speculators who are not concerned with the building of the pipeline or with the conservation of our natural energy resources but are concerned merely with making a kill upon the stock exchange by promoting and by selling shares in a company which will build such a pipeline, to the disadvantage - it has been proven to be the disadvantage - of many thousands of young and small investors and of many investors who will place more than a small amount in such companies. [More…]
There is no such thing as free competition - allowing the price of a commodity to reach its own natural level. [More…]
The Authority is set up for the transmission of natural gas. [More…]
It has been shown by previous speakers, by surveys and by exploration that there are vast areas and vast resources of natural gas available. [More…]
The Committee turns next to a statement by Mr W. W. Pettingell,now Sir William Pettingell who, I understand, is Chairman of the Australian Natural Gas Development Association. [More…]
At the present time, we have a situation in which cities such as Adelaide, Perth, Melbourne, and Brisbane already are connected to natural gas with pipelines supplying them from the various gas fields. [More…]
I say that because the Bill allows the Authority to buy and sell hydrocarbons - liquids and natural gas. [More…]
Firstly, I presume that the Authority will set the price for transmission and also will set the price that it is prepared to pay for the natural gas at the well-head. [More…]
Secondly, the Authority could charge excessive prices for the transmission of natural gas, particularly to competitors. [More…]
As a consequence of this freeze and the high cost of getting funds into Australia for exploration, a complete killing of the incentive for further exploration of our natural resources could occur. [More…]
The situation must not develop where the Authority has complete control of natural gas in this country. [More…]
The Minister went on: of defence, of decentralisation, of population growth, of national development, of the importance of interconnected supplies to meet increasing long term demands, emergency situations and the exhaustion of particular regional energy sources, and the possible export of liquefied natural gas. [More…]
It has had, of course, the discovery of petroleum and natural gas. [More…]
What Australia may need in future is the construction of a network of pipelines to transport petrol, oil or natural gas in its liquefied form or in whatever form it may be from various places where it has been discovered in and off Australia to points where it is needed for distribution on the Australian mainland. [More…]
People in Western Australia, particularly in Perth, have natural gas. [More…]
The coal gas was so much more efficient than the natural gas that it is unbelievable. [More…]
There is nothing to say that the people of Sydney will willingly accept natural gas when it gets there. [More…]
But they may have the same opinion as many people in Western Australia have, and that is that the coal gas was far better than the natural gas. [More…]
The Government will be involving the country in the expenditure of millions more dollars in order to convert the present systems to natural gas. [More…]
We should see what happens when natural gas is connected to a city and whether the factories will use it willingly or whether they will complain that they are not getting the same value as previously. [More…]
Transmission of natural gas by an interstate ring main to ensure continuity of supplies and uniformity of price. [More…]
But, immediately natural gas has become available to those gas companies, they have converted their services to natural gas, Therefore, very little gas derived from coal is used in areas to which a natural gas supply is available. [More…]
Natural gas is a cheaper and more efficient product, I believe. [More…]
If a pipeline grid were set up it is within imagination that at some time a national authority may take, over the pipelines that already exist for the transportation to Melbourne of natural gas which has been discovered adjacent to the brown coal fields in Victoria. [More…]
Because we are seeing discoveries of reserves of fuel in the form of oil in Bass Strait, in particular, from which most of Australia’s present supplies are coming, we should not overlook the other natural resources which are largely falling into abeyance as a result of the easier usage of natural gas. [More…]
It is simple and has the clear and definite purpose to set up an Authority with adequate powers to construct and operate a major public utility having the responsibility of making one of our greatest natural resources available to the Australian people. [More…]
For example, let us assume that the Authority wishes to build in an area where there is great concern for the environmental factors or for the preservation of the natural beauty or fauna of an area. [More…]
I think the natural history of public authorities which have no responsibility to the people is to ignore or to ride roughshod over the views of those who seek to protect the environment, whereas Parliament, which is more subject to pressures and more subject to the views of the people, would be inclined to listen to these complaints. [More…]
The ANZUS Treaty reflects a natural relationship between these countries of the Pacific. [More…]
It is only natural that we should have concentrated our initial efforts on establishing the basis for understanding and co-operation in our own geographical region, but it has no way been our wish or intention to underestimate or neglect the importance of our ties with the rest of the world. [More…]
It is the area of natural resources. [More…]
Similar trends are evident in Western Europe, while Japan has long been a heavy importer as she lacks natural resources of her own. [More…]
We have taken numerous steps with a view to securing greater Australian and government’ control and supervision of the use of our natural resources. [More…]
Australia has asserted its sovereign rights to explore and exploit the natural resources of its continental shelf out to the outer shelf of the continental margin. [More…]
The natural reaction straight away, and the one which the Government no doubt wants to encourage, will be to try to cut back on prices. [More…]
I repeat that this is the Government which paid lip service to freedom, the liberty of the individual, the right of the individual to natural justice. [More…]
If it is natural justice to set up an arbitrary tribunal such as this, then I do not know the meaning of the words. [More…]
I can only regret that the Government, notwithstanding the flush of its election victory and knowing what its platform and policy stated, should have directed the work of the Committee in that way because 1 feel that we undoubtedly would have gained more from the natural evolution of this Committee’s work along the lines of the original terms of reference which had been sent to it if it had been able to come forward with what it felt was the most appropriate remedy in the circumstances as it found them. [More…]
environmental aspects of legislative and administrative measures which ought to be taken in order to ensure the wise and effective management of the Australian environment and of Australia’s natural resources and [More…]
such other matters relating to the environment and conservation and the management of Australia’s natural resources as are referred to it by- [More…]
If I wanted any further reason to persuade me to follow the course that is recommended by Senator Withers it is, again, a natural deference, which too often is denied to me but which I still claim, for consideration of my colleagues’ point of view. [More…]
I believe that regional growth centres must have a sound economic base because, pretty well without exception, all instances of successful decentralisation or regional development have as a background a history of natural resources, locational advantages in respect of transport or some other element of economic assistance or incentive. [More…]
The natural resources vary widely. [More…]
I stress that each instance of success has had a real background of real assistance because there was a natural resource present in that area. [More…]
I note that the Board and the television station representatives are to have further discussions on amendments to the system but this is a natural corollary because the proposal initially drawn up by the Board was a tentative proposal. [More…]
2 museums visited the area as long ago as 1967, collecting specimens and making observations of wildlife and natural features. [More…]
Already other natural lakes in Tasmania - Lake St Clair, for example - are incorporated in power schemes. [More…]
The body that produced this document reveals a few factors and emphasises that new discoveries are being made as to the forms of wildlife and natural life that will be affected by this project. [More…]
We have transformed Lake Pedder from a small natural lake into a big lake which will enable water sports such as boating and skiing, and other activities to be undertaken. [More…]
Many of our citizens throughout Australia prefer the natural environment of the little lake with the animal life that assembles there. [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…]
Despite any faults which there might have been in our method of administration since we were elected to Government on 2 December last - I suppose it is only natural that there must be faults because we are mere mortals - this Government is getting on with the job of building a nation. [More…]
Substantially it is a new proposal to ensure that natural gas supplied by the Authority is available at a gatevalve, delivery price that is at all times uniform throughout Australia after allowing for differences in calorific values. [More…]
So the situation is, as we now have it, that the House of Representatives has disagreed with the first and second amendments; it has agreed with the third amendment; it has agreed with the fourth amendment; and it has made an amendment to clause 13 to give uniformity in the price of natural gas to all users throughout Australia, allowing for differences of value. [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…]
I now refer to natural background radiation to which populations, from the beginning of life on earth, have been inevitably exposed. [More…]
The French Government has argued that the radiation doses to the Australian population and to other populations from its nuclear weapon testing in the atmosphere, are but small fractions of hte annual natural background doses and, indeed, that the radiation doses from the radio-active fall-out from those tests are embraced by the variations which occur in natural background doses even within a large city. [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 he stated on 12 April, in aggregate, the contribution to date of public revenue to oil and natural gas exploration alone has been $419m - approximately SO per cent of the total so expended - with more yet to be claimed for which no equity was sought by our predecessors in office. [More…]
However, we have become enriched too by the fact that circumstances forced us outside that ambit and we began to attract into Australia people from other European countries who had differing cultures from those of the people with whom we had a natural allegiance. [More…]
It cannot be foreseen that citizens who come to Australia from other countries must necessarily have a clash of allegiance if they maintain - and they cannot deny this - a natural feeling of allegiance to the country from which they come. [More…]
Among these differences are those of area, climate, topography, natural resources, size and distribution of population and productive capacity, and levels of income and expenditure. [More…]
Naturally they will want to project their own position. [More…]
That is natural and probably in a sense it is desirable. [More…]
When the Federal Government sat down to enact legislation to implement the grant of industrial power given it by the founding fathers there was a climate abroad which made a system of conciliation plus compulsory arbitration seem a natural one to adopt. [More…]
This is a natural concomitant of an industrial situation where there are large numbers of unions competing for membership, some of them with declining membership fighting tooth and nail for survival. [More…]
In view of the apparent depressed state of the shipbuilding industry in Australia I ask the Minister whether he is aware of the continued interest by BHP in the shipment overseas of liquified natural gas. [More…]
In reply to the honourable senator’s questions the Minister for Transport (Mr Charles Jones) has advised that he is aware of Broken Hill Pty Co. Ltd’s continued interest in the sale and shipment of liquefied natural gas overseas. [More…]
Equality of representation, it is argued, is a natural corollary of State representation, because the colonies were, prior to federation, politically equal; equal in constitutional power and status, although not necessarily equal in territory or population. [More…]
Can the Minister inform the Senate how sincere the Government is in its determination to preserve the natural environment in areas under its control? [More…]
(if natural persons, as I am instructed they are) I am asked to deal with by question (c)) the principal question of concern seems to be whether the amendments can properly be characterised as retrospective. [More…]
I am able to tell you, Mr President, and honourable senators that I was able to recommend to the Government, in the light of the approaches now being taken to the administration of justice, particularly the requirements of natural justice, that the decision given in 1942 should not be allowed to stand today. [More…]
Does any honourable senator want to tell me that if one of our men or one of the enemy had moved over to the other side, committing a disloyal act of treason by going over, the natural reaction of the side he left would not have been to shoot him? [More…]
That is the natural reaction in cases like that. [More…]
The one amendment to this Bill which I would support is one which pm.vides that life imprisonment means imprisonment for the term of natural life. [More…]
There is no natural water in that country except for certain waterholes on the main river system. [More…]
Gathered at these waterholes in those days were the natural enemies of the kangaroo - the Aboriginal tribes and the Australian dingoes. [More…]
While the total aggregate of sets in use has increased as a result of the natural increase in population, the simple fact is that on a percentage basis there has been a decline in set usage. [More…]
The proposed amendment of section 25(2)(b) is a natural corollary to the amendment of section 19(1) reducing the margin of allowance from the quota to 10 per cent. [More…]
This is an area in which I feel the concepts of natural justice ought to have some application. [More…]
There was a denial of natural justice to those 2 gentlemen, not so insofar as the finding of guilt was concerned because that was a finding by the Committee of Privileges after hearing evidence, but when the 2 gentlemen concerned were not called upon before punishment was imposed to show cause why they should be punished. [More…]
To my mind, as I submitted in perhaps an unduly lengthy address, that was a denial of natural justice. [More…]
I quoted many substantial authorities to support my proposition that the Senate should have given the 2 gentlemen concerned the opportunity of showing cause why they should or should not be punished, and that having been denied that opportunity there was a denial of natural justice. [More…]
This is a first step, a very commendable first step, of setting aside $107m to construct the first Australianowned natural gas pipeline. [More…]
Finally, is it proposed to ignore the statements by all conservation authorities - although the Minister is not prepared to listen now he was willing to capitalise on this before the election - that the Galston area must be preserved in its natural state? [More…]
The area is very close to the Black Mountain reserve and is very well provided with natural open space. [More…]
Alderman O’Donnell, being conversant with the situation in the area, successfully moved in the Council on 6 August 1 97 1 to have the area rezoned as public open space so that it could be conserved as a natural area. [More…]
I now say that the average natural radiation in Australia at any one time is 100 millirads or 100 units. [More…]
It can come from radiation in the natural rocks. [More…]
Throughout the wage earning community we have the natural anxiety which leads to wage claims being made on the assumption that unless wage demands are made and unless increased wages are obtained the wage earners will be left behind as prices rise around them. [More…]
And if they expected prices to go up, was it not natural that they should start to spend their reserves in order to buy before the prices went up? [More…]
It ought to be the most natural thing in the world for women to occupy the Chairs of our legislative bodies. [More…]
A departmental investigation is under way into the circumstances in which the child was returned to her natural parents. [More…]
He has been informed that she is happily placed with her natural parents. [More…]
Unless there is some technical flaw in the methods of New Zealand Government scientists the incidence of extra-natural radiation fallout is decreasing in an almost inverse ratio to that of political opposition to Chinese and French atmospheric nuclear testing. [More…]
I wish to point out, so that it will be put in perspective, that wherever one goes in the world the natural radiation varies. [More…]
As one goes to a higher altitude, as one goes to areas that are more subject to radiated rocks, so one increases one’s natural radiation. [More…]
What I want to plead is that the Government should now present to this Parliament a White Paper setting out in true perspective the whole basic background of the ordinary natural fallout and of peoples exposure to it; the elective fallouts from altitude or travel, luminous watches and X- rays; the elective fallouts if we are to have civil atomic power stations; the elective fallouts if we are to bring in civil atomic ships- and this will be real in the future because of the energy crisisand also the fallouts from atom testing. [More…]
It seems to be overlooked that Australia is the world’s leading beef exporting nation and that Australia has a natural comparative advantage in beef production. [More…]
because there were no essential medical, educational or other facilities available at their parents’ normal place of residence, have been taken from their natural parents and reared in missions, orphanages, hospitals, institutions or private foster homes. [More…]
Is the Minister for Primary Industry aware that the Australian managing director of the canned food company H. J. Heinz Co. Australia Ltd, Mr Kellow, said yesterday that Australians would have to learn to adjust to synthetic food because natural food threatened to become even dearer and in shorter supply? [More…]
Does he agree that greater production of natural food should be encouraged? [More…]
It is only natural that we must have much stronger armed forces. [More…]
Maningrida in Arnhem Land to interview Nola Garanamba, the 7-year-old Aboriginal girl who was taken from her foster parents in Darwin to rejoin her natural parents in Maningrida? [More…]
-Can the Minister representing the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs inform the Senate whether Nola Garanamba’s natural father in fact saw his daughter in Darwin? [More…]
Citizenship in our country is not an inalienable natural right for every human being born on its soil. [More…]
In view of the extreme opposition to the use of overseas capital, particularly in the oil and mining industries, by the Minister for Minerals and Energy, what assurance will the South Australian Government have that the Federal Government will not create any impediment to the supply of natural gas to this industry by way of the Pipeline Authority or other means if this industry is finally established by an overseas company? [More…]
Is it a fact that the Commonwealth Government has formulated plans for a refinery at Dampier in Western Australia to produce petrol from natural gas liquids, as was announced yesterday by Western Australian Premier Tonkin? [More…]
The only comment I would make is that the Government’s intention is to ensure that Australia’s natural resources are for the benefit of Australians and not of overseas interests. [More…]
They have only recently been matched by the development of our magnificent natural resources- minerals and the like. [More…]
What I am asking, and this is the point of the question this evening, is that if this natural interpretation of 2 very clear statements made by the Prime Minister is not a correct statement that the Government say so. [More…]
The Senate referred this matter to the Committee late last year, following the confusion surrounding the announcement that the Australian Gas Light Co. Ltd intended to import from a consortium of Japanese firms steel pipe for the proposed natural gas pipeline from Moomba to Sydney. [More…]
It is estimated that, taking into account the natural past growth rate in the assessable revenue for licence fee purposes of broadcasting stations, the revised scale is expected to raise additional revenue of some $120,000 in 1973-74. [More…]
It is thought that it will disappear as a result of the natural forces of the waves and that it does not pose a threat. [More…]
We look to all Australians to take this opportunity to preserve in Australian hands their great natural heritage and the industries established by the initiative and labour of their fathers. [More…]
We battled through that period in spite of other setbacks of natural origin- droughts, and things of that nature. [More…]
1 ) Is it a fact that the Commonwealth Government has formulated plans for a refinery at Dampier, Western Australia to produce petrol from natural gas liquids as announced on 8 October by the Western Australian Premier, Mr Tonkin. [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…]
When one is critical- I believe that one is entitled to be critical; that one ought to be critical; that one ought to deplore; and that one ought to do whatever one can to prevent actions of terrorism such as those we have seen perpetrated by .certain Arab organisations- one has to remember that this is something which seems to be almost a natural consequence of this sort of situation. [More…]
This is a nation that is capable of taking care of herself; this is not an Australia that is strong in her own right and able to protect the enormous natural wealth that is to be found in one of the largest continents in the world with one of the smallest populations. [More…]
I warn the leaders of the nation who sit in the Senate- after all, we humbly accept the privilege to be able to sit here among those who are supposed to lead this nation- that they should not allow Australia, with its enormous natural wealth and its present situation in world affairs, to become so tragically weak that it cannot defend itself in the world as it is today; in a world where there has been a ceasefire in Korea for 20 years against United Nations forces but where no peaceful settlement has yet been reached; in a world where there is a Vietnam. [More…]
I know that there is a natural concern, particularly in these days of rising land prices, the exploitation of land and a tremendous capital accretion in the value of land, by governments to make land available to the public at large at a reasonable price. [More…]
There are many other natural resources of potential for which exploration and exploitation will occur and for which administrative and regulatory provisions will be necessary. [More…]
In respect of matters such as protection and conservation of natural features and resources of the off-shore waters and the off-shore sea-bed, the question of who has authority or responsibility to act is unknown. [More…]
What is the position with regard to natural gas and uranium? [More…]
Has this Government thought that by the time we may have got around to this- not having done any homework at all and not having, I suspect, even consulted the Australian Atomic Energy Commission in Australia and certainly having no blueprint- and that by the time we had got another of these expensive situations like the natural gas pipeline but which will be twelve times as dear, the world supply probably will be in glut? [More…]
I trust that it is a result only of work which was hurried because the Government insisted that it be hurried and because there was not time to think through fully and carefully the natural results of some of the things which were being recommended. [More…]
The difficulty would be that, if we did have people representing interest groups in this way, we would have a son of multi-party miniature parliament with the leader of the State school group and the deputy leader of the private school group, and possibly a whip or two thrown in to count the numbers and work out who had instructed whom and who had made deals- all things which are not wrong in themselves but which I believe are a natural concomitant of having any organisation constituted in this manner. [More…]
A Bill substantially the same as this was introduced into the Parliament by the previous Government in April 1971, along with a Bill to amend the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act 1968. [More…]
Cancellation of a licence for contravention of a condition, or if the holder has been convicted of an offence against this Act, the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act or a State or Territory fisheries law, is provided for in clause 7. [More…]
The purpose of this Bill is to amend certain of the machinery provisions of the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act to ensure more effective administration of the legislation and, in conjunction with amendments proposed in the Fisheries Bill which I have just introduced, to bring the principles embodied in the 2 Acts into uniformity. [More…]
As honourable senators are aware, the main purpose of the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act is to enable the fullest possible protection to be given to the living resources of the continental shelf of Australia and the external territories, including the Great Barrier Reef. [More…]
Alongside the search for natural gas and for oil we must be asking ourselves these things: Should we, in fact, be conserving our coal or should we be using it? [More…]
We have natural gas. [More…]
But in my natural approach I wish to make as little contention on any subject as possible. [More…]
The territorial seas bordering Australia and the sea-bed thereof with all its natural resources are those of the Commonwealth, not those of any Federal State. [More…]
Dominion over the sea-bed and the natural resources of the whole of the Continental Shelf commencing at low-water mark, and the right to explore and exploit these, or permit others to do so, is vested exclusively in the Commonwealth. [More…]
We recommend that a national pipelines policy be implemented immediately and that legislation be enacted- this may require the co-operation of the States- to regulate the construction and operation of pipelines for the carriage interstate or intra-State of oil and natural gas. [More…]
However, we share the common concern for the future of the Reef and welcome the actions being taken to protect this great and unique natural wonder of the world. [More…]
The natural corollary is that the population of the Northern Territory probably will never reasonably approach that of the other States. [More…]
Because there has been a substantial increase in the number of broadcasting stations and television stations and because the workload now thrown on the Broadcasting Control Board is significantly greater than it was a decade ago, it is only natural that an increase in the revenue required to enable the Broadcasting Control Board to continue to give the very effective service that it gives to the Australian people is necessary. [More…]
The honourable senator does not say whether he is referring to internal, fiscal, developmental, mineral or natural resources policies. [More…]
I promised to get in touch with Mrs Kinsella for the purpose of trying to arrange a letter from the natural mother and an application from the Kings. [More…]
Is it not also a fact that Government interference has caused serious delays in the development of natural gas, particularly in relation to the delivery of South Australian natural gas to New South Wales? [More…]
It was common knowledge that endeavours were being made by great corporations outsideno doubt, with very great foresight on their part- to see that they got control of the development of Australia’s natural gas and energy resources with a view to using those resources elsewhere. [More…]
Is it a fact that since the commencement of production of natural gas from Bass Strait the previous Government allowed the export of 8 million barrels of liquid petroleum gas from that area? [More…]
I believe that it would be better to do this than to try to introduce into humanity a violation of a natural law that exists not only for homo sapiens but for the whole of the animal world where the necessity for the species to replace itself to ensure its continuity puts homosexuality outside the accepted social practices within a community. [More…]
It is the natural successor to a Bill which has had some political history in this place. [More…]
A scholarship can be terminated before its natural time only for cause. [More…]
It was an overnight surprise for an industry which already was suffering quite considerable hardship because of natural circumstances such as an over-wet season and because of an accumulation of other problems which were left over from the revaluation of the Australian dollar and the cheapening of competitive goods from countries such as South Africa on the European market. [More…]
My Department paid Mr Garanamba ‘s fare to Darwin so that he could seek legal advice in relation to Nola’s custody, as he had for some time been expressing a strong desire that Nola be returned to the custody of her natural parents. [More…]
The last of the budget matters concerns the taxation of dividends paid in respect of mining profits that have been freed from tax either under specific exemptions in the law or, in the case of profits from mining oil and natural gas, by reason of the deductions allowable for capital expenditures on exploration and development. [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…]
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 rights- even the right to life itself. [More…]
The natural growth of population continuously presents problems on the preservation of the environment, but with the adoption of appropriate policies and measures these problems can be solved. [More…]
The Opposition does not want this Government to get on with the job of developing our natural resources and off-shore resources. [More…]
The natural resources of the sea bed are becoming more and more important to our economy. [More…]
The same thing will inevitably apply to our natural seabed mineral resources. [More…]
Then in Article 2, paragraph ( 1 ) it says that the coastal State exercises over the continental shelf sovereign rights for the purpose of exploring it and exploiting its natural resources. [More…]
So that the very treaty that was produced by the national Parliament and the national government away back in 1958, in the time of the Liberal-Country Party Government, in describing the continental shelf said that it is that part of the seabed extending from a point from the margin of the territorial sea; and it said also that the coastal State- that is Australia- in its national entity exercises sovereign rights over the continental shelf for the purpose of exploring and exploiting its natural resources. [More…]
It is by this Act declared and enacted that the sovereign rights of Australia as a coastal State in respect of the continental shelf of Australia, for the purpose of exploring it and exploiting its natural resources, are vested in and exercisable by the Crown in right of the Commonwealth. [More…]
1 ) The Minister may, if, in his opinion, it is necessary in the interests of the safety of navigation or of the conservation of the natural resources of the off-shore zone, or otherwise in the public interest - [More…]
The Bill states that it is intended to secure, to the greatest extent that is practicable, participation by Australian residents in the ownership and control of companies engaged in various activities, including manufacturing, processing, treatment, transportation or distribution of goods and the development or use of natural resources. [More…]
Does the Minister representing the Minister for Minerals and Energy agree that it is vital that Sydney, Wollongong and Newcastle industries should have an alternative industrial fuel to the Middle East crude, and that the central Australian natural gas would provide this alternative? [More…]
Although Western Australia covers one-third of the Australian continent it was not until the 1960s that its natural resources were developed to the extent that one would have expected. [More…]
He went on in an irrational manner and he accused members of this unnamed junta of wanting to sell Australia’s natural resources to foreign interests for their own benefit. [More…]
specifically empower the AIDC to invest in or to form or participate in the formation of a new company, and to carty on any business or activity concerned with manufacture, processing, treatment, transportation or distribution of goods; or the development of natural resources including the recovery of minerals. [More…]
1 ) In the performance of its functions, the Commission shall have regard to the desire of the Australian Government, in pursuing the general objectives of national economic and social policy and urban and regional development, to improve and promote the well-being of the people of Australia, with full employment, stability in the general level of prices, viability in external economic relations, conservation of the natural environment and rising and generally enjoyed standards of living and, in particular, to the desire of the Australian Government to- [More…]
The clause goes on to state: the Commission shall have regard to the desire of the Australian Government, in pursuing the general objectives of national economic and social policy and urban and regional development, to improve and promote the well-being of the people of Australia, with full employment, stability in the general level of prices, viability in external economic relations, conservation of the natural environment and rising and generally enjoyed standards of living, [More…]
In addition we find a reference in clause 22 ( 1 ) to: the general objectives of national economic and social policy and urban and regional development, to improve and promote the well-being of the people of Australia, with full employment, stability in the general level of prices, viability in external economic relations, conservation of the natural environment and rising and generally enjoyed standards of living .. . [More…]
I believe that for a long time Australia suffered from what I call industry stand-off and that people regarded primary industry and commerce as the natural enemies of manufacturing. [More…]
But as soon as you get it in the development of natural resouces in remote areas the Commonwealth wants to tell you how much you can have. [More…]
When he intrudes into the field of education he goes back to his natural Neanderthal position. [More…]
Is it the desire of the Senate that the Fisheries Bill and the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Bill be debated cognately? [More…]
The Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Bill is on very similar lines to the Fisheries Bill. [More…]
The purpose of the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Bill is to amend certain of the machinery provisions of the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act. [More…]
The Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Bill contains a provision concerning the forfeiture of foreign boats similar to that which appears in the Fisheries Bill. [More…]
I shall look at this matter more closely at the Committee stage with a view to bringing into line both the provision in the Fisheries Act and that contained in the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Bill in relation to the rigidity and the mandatory nature of the terms of forfeiture. [More…]
-The Australian Country Party does not oppose either the Fisheries Bill or the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Bill, but we will support the amendments proposed to be moved at the Committee stage. [More…]
In his second reading speech on the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Bill the Minister for Primary Industry (Senator Wriedt) made one statement which is not clear and to which I would like to draw his attention. [More…]
He said: the main purpose of the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act is to enable the fullest possible protection to be given to the living resources of the continental shelf of Australia and the external territories, including the Great Barrier Reef. [More…]
But to forfeit the vessel and all the equipment thereon without a court considering the circumstances involved seems to us to be not in accordance with the principles of natural justice. [More…]
As this country has little natural water available, there is a necessity to provide water so that the land will produce. [More…]
Such discussions were a natural sequel to talks Dr Patterson had in Peking when he first visited China with Mr Whitlam in 1 97 1 , to the signing of the Trade Agreement between Australia and the People’s Republic of China in July 1973, and to the efforts to sell sugar to China pursuedatthe commercial level by the industry itself. [More…]
It was fairly natural that they would return hospitality to him. [More…]
They were being denatured- and the trend throughout the world, not only in food stuffs but in many other products, is to get back to natural products. [More…]
If the Government got up there and started to build tourist potential every one of those coastal settlements of Queensland would start to grow and expand by natural development. [More…]
The functions of the Petroleum and Minerals Authority will be to explore for and develop our petroleum and mineral resources, and to assist in implementing the Government’s policy of promoting Australian ownership and control of our natural resources and resource industries. [More…]
The world energy crisis highlights major world reliance on oil and natural gas for its energy needs. [More…]
Mr G. A. Wagner, Senior Managing Director of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group of Companies says 70 per cent of this should come from oil and natural gas. [More…]
Oil and natural gas currently provide about 50 per cent of Australia’s energy needs and there is every indication that this figure will increase. [More…]
Our recoverable reserves of natural gas are 38 trillion cubic feet. [More…]
Assuming its ready availability throughout the country, this would be sufficient to meet the demands for natural gas for about 30 years. [More…]
With complacent reliance on unlimited oil supplies, nations have ignored research and development of alternative energy sources, such as natural gas, coal and ultimately, uranium and solar energy. [More…]
Oil and natural gas will, however, remain major energy sources. [More…]
Energy is, of course, derived from other minerals than oil and natural gas. [More…]
There are other provisions in the Bill designed specifically to promote Australian ownership and control of our natural resources by requiring the Authority to assist mining undertakings to get off the ground and thereby help them to remain Australian and save them from falling into foreign hands. [More…]
We also regard this as a desirable objective in oil, natural gas and black coal. [More…]
This concept is that the continental shelf is the natural prolongation under the sea of the land mass of the coastal state, out to the lower edge of the margin, where it slopes down to and merges in the deep ocean floor or abyssal plain. [More…]
These companies would normally look to a larger operating company for the necessary help, but local Australian companies have a limited capacity to take on new ventures of this type, and therefore, they find themselves turning to overseas companies which thereby secure an interest in our natural resources. [More…]
The Corporation shall not engage in trade in competition with natural persons resident in, or corporations incorporated in, Australia- [More…]
Those resources, of course, are primarily oil, uranium, natural gas and coal. [More…]
We find the industry repugnant, unnecessary, and benefits but a few people in this country, whereas live kangaroos in their natural habitat, through their value as tourist attractions are economically far more profitable to our economy and to us aesthetically [More…]
That, especially in view of the recent natural disasters in a number of States, the Senate congratulates the Whitlam Government on its proposals in regard to the preparation for and dealing with natural disasters and their financial and other consequences. [More…]
Recently that State suffered probably the greatest natural tragedy that has happened in this country. [More…]
No doubt, this will be cleared up when the debate takes place on the question of natural disasters. [More…]
That is only natural. [More…]
As a matter of fact, there is a claim that more can be achieved by keyline farming, natural methods, chisel ploughing and perpetuating the living soil. [More…]
I think this is only natural. [More…]
As a result we went from the position of having no known natural oil of any commercial quantity in Australia to a point where we are about 70 per cent self-sufficient. [More…]
A great deal of nonsense has been spoken about Australian ownership and control of its natural resources. [More…]
Australia has been blessed with enormous natural wealth which has been discovered only recently. [More…]
Will the Minister examine and, if necessary, confer with the New South Wales Conservation Minister on the apparent repudiation of the spirit of the softwoods legislation by seeking to denude the Boyd Plateau of natural bush as a prelude to pine planting expansion? [More…]
From time to time, therefore, there would be a natural tendency for the States, having been beckoned by the Commonwealth with an enticing offer of money, to say: ‘This is something that is unpopular. [More…]
It is quite natural that at the Constitutional Convention in Sydney the Premiers said to the Prime Minister: ‘That is a very good idea. [More…]
That is a natural reaction to such a submission. [More…]
There is all this song and dance about the desire to return the Australian natural resources in their entirity. [More…]
It is quite natural for capital to flow to investment at points where there is an encouragement for such investment and a reasonable expectation of a fair return. [More…]
It would be reasonable to assume as a natural corollary that there would be an acceptance, even voluntarily, of current prices. [More…]
How natural that this should come from the Minister in charge of histrionics. [More…]
Superficially, no doubt, it appeared a natural thing for the new government to include courts of j justice of its own. [More…]
Superficially, no doubt, it appeared a natural thing for the new government to include courts of justice of its own. [More…]
Now in such a state of affairs, it would appear natural to endeavour to establish the courts of justice as independent organs which were neither Commonwealth nor State. [More…]
What must happen as a result of such a duplicated system is the creation of so many complexities and difficulties for litigants that natural justice would be denied. [More…]
It must add to endless litigation and endless costs and it must therefore deny natural justice in the course of things. [More…]
Not one ton of metal or ore, or petroleum or natural gas can be sold from Australian shores abroad unless the Commonwealth Government approves, because the export power of the Commonwealth Government is total. [More…]
The second permanent long time source of energy is clearly solar energy, and clearly in the next 30, 40 or 50 years solar energy will be developed by a direct energy conversion process so, either by fusion or solar energy, the world will move into a stage where the need for energy for electrical power generation will not depend on coal, oil, natural gas or uranium. [More…]
If that is so, then certainly uranium, coal, oil and natural gas will not have the kind of massive use that they have today. [More…]
What is our policy in terms of natural gas? [More…]
Specifically, what is our policy for taking natural gas, processing it and using it for liquid petroleum gas in the event of Australia needing to convert our motor cars to LPG fuel use if we are faced with a shortage of indigenous oil? [More…]
It has no policy at all for the development of natural gas. [More…]
The Minister, in introducing this Bill, said that the Bill was in conformity with the Government’s policy of Australian ownership and control of our natural resources. [More…]
It is our opinion that the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1967 enacted for the purpose of ensuring the legal effectiveness of authorities to explore for or to exploit the petroleum resources of Australia’s Continental Shelf, falls short of its goal and leaves much to be desired in its attempt to provide for the development in the national interest of an Australian off-shore petroleum and natural gas industry. [More…]
to regulate the construction and operation of pipelines for the carriage interstate or intra-State of oil and natural gas. [More…]
Perhaps we ought to remember also some of the history of so called private enterprise in relation to the supply of natural gas to New South Wales. [More…]
Finally, the main authorities in Sydney decided that they would do some drilling for natural gas on their own behalf. [More…]
So the people of New South Wales were deprived of the opportunity to use natural gas for many years. [More…]
The policies adopted for the development of an Australian oil and natural gas industry have caused continuing increases in the price which the motoring public is required to pay for petrol. [More…]
Also, the householder being provided with natural gas is paying more for this fuel than would be payable if, as suggested to the Committee, a pricing formula for natural gas- irrespective of where it is produced- similar to that used by the United States of America Federal Power Commission, were adopted in Australia. [More…]
It informed quite a number of people including Senator Wright and myself, of the nature of the enormous natural resources that Australia has discovered and is still capable of discovering. [More…]
Exploration increased and in 1960 the associated group found the first of many small natural gas fields in the Roma area. [More…]
But the governments of Canada, France, Italy, Norway, the Argentine, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Iran, Iraq, India, Japan, Indonesia and New Zealand all have taken an active part in the development of their natural resources and set up instrumentalities similar in varying degrees to the one that is proposed to be established by the legislation currently before the Senate. [More…]
The foreign oil companies have had a feather bedded ride through the natural resources of Australia over a long period of years. [More…]
I refer Senator Carrick and, I think, Senator Young and one or two others to clause 8 of the Bill which states quite clearly that this Bill is intended to be a means by which we will co-operate with the private sector, but we will not co-operate with overseas companies which are here to exploit our natural resources. [More…]
He either said or he went very close to saying that he opposed Australians owning their own natural resources. [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…]
Indonesia has rich soil, it has area, it has people, who are able people given the chance, and it has natural reserves of oil- that magic word today. [More…]
The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State. [More…]
Now Mr Whitlam pretends that he has appointed Senator Gair to this position out of natural love, affection and admiration. [More…]
The functions of the Petroleum and Minerals Authority will be to explore for and develop our petroleum and mineral resources and to assist in implementing the Government’s policy of promoting Australia ownership and control of our natural resources and resource industries. [More…]
They are to explore for minerals on the Australian continental land mass and elsewhere, to recover minerals from their natural site on the continental land mass or from any other place, to treat minerals for the purpose of extracting metals and other substances in Australia or elsewhere, to refine metals and other substances obtained as a result of the treatment of minerals in Australia or elsewhere, to crush, screen or otherwise treat or prepare for sale coal and construction materials in Australia or elsewhere, to buy and sell minerals, refined substances and manufactured materials and substances, whether in Australia or elsewhere, and to transport minerals, refined substances and manufactured materials and substances on the Australian continental land mass and between Australia and other countries. [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…]
It is assumed to be normal and natural that he will not be returning to some revenue producing activity. [More…]
1 m for assistance in relation to natural disasters in previous years. [More…]
The Government welcomed offers from insurance organisations to discuss the inclusion of cover for natural disasters in housing insurance policies. [More…]
Officers of the Treasury will take up with representatives of the banks, insurance companies and other financial corporations that provide finance for housing the question of their lending policies and insurance cover in relation to houses constructed in areas affected by natural disasters. [More…]
An examination will also be made of questions relating to insurance of crops and livestock against natural disasters. [More…]
I would say merely this: The Democratic Labor Party has as part of its Federal policy, and always has had, that there should be a Federal secretariat to handle the questions of natural disasters in Australia. [More…]
In fact, natural disasters in Australia are epidemic. [More…]
There is either a natural disaster by way of flood, drought or cyclone or, perhaps, where Senator McAuliffe comes from on the Gold Coast, by substantial beach erosion. [More…]
It is a very reasonable and proper provision and one which I hope every government and any government would take up, because natural disasters in this country must be treated as of regular and expected occurrence. [More…]
Then we can move to meet them without these ad hoc methods which now characterise all our approaches to natural disasters. [More…]
In view of the recent natural flood disasters around Australia, would the Postmaster-General give consideration to this commendable idea? [More…]
The functions of this Authority will be to explore for and develop our petroleum and mineral resources, and to assist in implementing the Government’s policy of promoting maximum Australian ownership and control of our natural resources and resource industries. [More…]
Honourable senators will realise the significance of the role of the Australian transcontinental natural gas pipeline which can raise Australia’s usage of natural gas as a fuel, in substitution for imported crude oil, from 6 per cent to the industrialised world average of 21 per cent. [More…]
Throughout the world today, the major nations and, above all, the multi-national oil companies, are realising the inter-relationship of crude oil, black and brown coal, natural gas and its hydrocarbon liquids. [More…]
With this expose of world energy pricing, honourable senators will clearly understand the implacable resolve of the first truly independent Australian national government to promote and protect Australian ownership and control of our natural energy and mineral resources. [More…]
It is a disgrace that the natural resources of this nation are substantially controlled by overseas interests. [More…]
The Opposition parties, when they were in Government, facilitated in every way the opportunities for foreign interests to dominate the exploration for and the exploitation of our natural resources, without serious thought of their obligation to preserve the national identity. [More…]
Even with the natural movements in population and the entry of 1 8-year-olds onto the electoral scene, the election results still reflected, with uncanny accuracy, the preferences of the electors. [More…]
The honourable senator has shown during his time in this Senate a very great interest in the natural animals of this country. [More…]
I would have thought that the honourable senator, having said what he did about the Labor Party and its rural activities and having at heart the interests of the natural animals of this country, would have said something regarding the representation in this Parliament of people who live in the isolated areas of this country. [More…]
There are some inequalities in the distribution but these are accepted as being fair since to change them would mean ignoring some of the natural unities of towns or cities or of areas unified by easy communications. [More…]
The alternative is to wait for another 10 years during which time some of the city slickers and developers will have got in for their chop and will have ruined much of the Northern Territory or, if they have not ruined it, they will have obtained ironclad leases and the natural rights of the Territorians will have been denied. [More…]
Equality of representation, it is argued, is a natural corollary of State representation . [More…]
The project has been developed with careful consideration for the protection and enhancement of the natural environment. [More…]
Measures designed to protect the natural environment will include a soil conservation program to reduce erosion in the catchment area and sediment deposit in Lake Burley Griffin; the preservation of permanent geological features including the London Bridge; a natural limestone bridge over Burra Creek which is a geological feature with tourist potential; and the undergrounding of pipelines. [More…]
People want more than they need; this is a natural human characteristic, and the Government should take note of it. [More…]
There is a natural role for government in health care. [More…]
Firstly, it is to implement the Government’s policy of promoting maximum Australian ownership and control of our natural resources. [More…]
above all, the multi-national oil companies, are realising the inter-relationship of crude oil, black and brown coal, natural gas and its hydrocarbon liquids. [More…]
So one must question how far they will go in the area of transportation of our natural resources. [More…]
You will perceive 2 constant themes in our mineral and mining policies-the preservation of Australian ownership and the maximising of benefits to the Australian people from the sale of our natural resources. [More…]
The Minister spoke of the natural resources which are substantially controlled by overseas interests and of the off-shore leases which greatly favour some overseas companies. [More…]
The Government proposed the Petroleum and Minerals Authority in the first place because it was legitimately concerned at what was happening to the natural resources of this country. [More…]
But local Australian companies have a limited capacity to take on new ventures of this type and therefore find themselves turning to overseas companies which thereby secure an interest in our natural resources. [More…]
I mention these matters only to indicate that what we discovered in the way of petroleum, natural gas and crude oil flowed from the fact that we had a joint scheme in which the Commonwealth and the States were able to work together and lay down rules which were satisfactory to each partner in the Commonwealth-State arrangements. [More…]
The Minister may, if, in his opinion, it is necessary in the interests of safety of navigation or of the conservation of the natural resources of the off-shore zone, or otherwise in the public interest, - [More…]
There has been some fall-off in the work force because of natural attrition. [More…]
I say, in no criticism of those natural demands, that the wage earner today, faced with the rapid acceleration of prices- an acceleration well in excess of 20 per cent- has only one recourse at this moment and that is to plead for more and more nominal wages and for the snowball to roll. [More…]
But that is perfectly natural. [More…]
They are the same gentlemen who voted not so many years ago to give away, as estimated by one of their own members, literally hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars of natural gas resources around the coasts of Australia. [More…]
The maximum penalty the Court will be able to determine will be $250,000 in the case of a corporation and $50,000 in the case of a natural person. [More…]
In the AIDC they provide an organisation which can do no more than coordinate large private investment projects or encourage smaller ones to influence them in the direction of Australian ownership and to assist manufacture, processing treatment, transportation or distribution of goods, or the development or use of natural resources or technology. [More…]
As the mining company has appealed directly to the Privy Council, thereby giving British judges the right to determine this important environment issue, will the Attorney-General give urgent consideration to offering financial help to the Wyong Council in its endeavours to retain this valuable natural area for the people of Australia? [More…]
Of course, it is natural that, with the nation’s economic and social development, there should be a parallel development of the financial machinery. [More…]
We have today, on the admission of the Government itself, inflation which is wage or cost push; that is, inflation brought about because the natural demands for nominally higher wages chasing inflation have beaten productivity and are therefore forcing prices up. [More…]
Mr Whitlam went on to say that in a letter to all Premiers dated 27 February he had outlined the arrangements for financial assistance from the Australian Government to the States in the event of natural disaster. [More…]
The whole purpose of the Petroleum and Minerals Authority legislation being brought in by this Government is to protect the interests of Australians in their own natural resources. [More…]
-There are enough natural feathered galahs in the Northern Territory without you adding to their number; members opposite do not need to add to their number. [More…]
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, the blanket condemnation of the scheme produced- as a reasonably natural reaction- a blanket defence of it. [More…]
The problems we have seen in so many other places are natural human problems that exist when there is no restraint on the use that is made of the services which people demand because they pay 1.35, 2 or 10 per cent, or whatever percentage of their taxable income is needed. [More…]
This legislation proposes the creation of a Petroleum and Minerals Authority whose functions will be to explore for, and to develop, Australia’s petroleum and mineral resources, and to assist in implementing the Government’s policies of promoting Australian ownership and control of our natural resources and resource industries. [More…]
In today’s world, the ever growing energy crisis highlights the world reliance on oil and natural gas for energy needs. [More…]
It is in no small measure due to the quadrupling of oil prices that a threat is posed to the economic viability and foreign exchange reserves of some of the world’s major industrial powers, which have complacently relied on unlimited cheap oil imports, and have ignored research and development of alternative energy sources, such as natural gas, coal, and ultimately uranium and solar energy. [More…]
Energy can, of course, be derived from sources other than oil and natural gas. [More…]
Petroleum equivalent derivatives can be obtained from the hydrogenation of coal, from natural gas and its liquids. [More…]
Other provisions in the Bill are designed specifically to promote Australian ownership and control of our natural resources, by requiring the Authority to assist weaker mining undertakings to get off the ground, and achieve cash-flow, thereby helping them to remain Australian, and saving them from falling into foreign hands. [More…]
The specific cases are uranium, crude oil, natural gas and black coal. [More…]
In the case of crude oil and natural gas it well exceeds 70 per cent. [More…]
There is only 15 per cent Australian equity in the consortium holding off-shore exploration rights on the North West Continental Shelf of Western Australia, where 142,000 square miles of one of the world ‘s largest potential natural gas areas are held by it- an area beyond the full capacity of even the largest company to intensively explore. [More…]
The normal pattern operating in so many comparable countries will be observed by a partnership between the national Government providing natural resources and experienced explorers providing the risk capital, technology and expertise. [More…]
It is a matter for serious national concern that we are confronted with a situation such as now exists in relation to Australia’s natural resources. [More…]
The Australian Government and the State governments already have complete control and complete ownership of the natural resources of this country. [More…]
This is natural and inevitable and government authorities have to treat with the companies in the same terms. [More…]
Firstly, it will expand the search for, and facilitate the development of the nation’s resources of hydrocarbons, especially crude oil, and natural gas and the integration of the use of the hydrocarbons including coal. [More…]
This BUI which has raised so much opposition from the Liberal and Country Parties is designed so that we may explore and develop the petroleum and mineral resources in Australia and to permit the maximum ownership and control of Australia’s natural resources. [More…]
In the case of natural gas we have instituted since we have been in office a national pipeline grid which will supply people across the nation. [More…]
Our natural resources are not the exclusive preserve of State governments whose responsibility is limited by geographical boundaries which were fixed by imperial legislators 2 centuries ago. [More…]
Therefore they find themselves turning to overseas companies, which thereby secure an interest in our natural resources. [More…]
The essential issue is what return are the Australian people going to obtain from the exploitation of the country’s own natural resources? [More…]
This country has oil and natural gas which provides approximately 50 per cent of our energy. [More…]
In addition to this we have natural oil which supplies some 70 per cent of our needs. [More…]
At the current rate of consumption our natural gas resources will probably last for the next 30 years plus. [More…]
Those countries are not worried about government participation in natural gas and oil projects but members opposite fear it because they believe it will take profits away from their friends. [More…]
All natural resources are the gift of God; private ownership of them is against natural and public interest. [More…]
The program I have outlined represents the Australian Government’s contribution aimed at encouraging natural adjustment already under way within the industry. [More…]
That is natural. [More…]
Though natural enough and, in view of the unions’ immense bargaining and intimidatory powers, almost inevitable, this has bedevilled, and is continuing to bedevil, the country’s economic stability. [More…]
I think it can be said that this is an omission from the Bill, whether it was done by design, as a result of the natural thinking of the Attorney-General about trade practices, or whether it was done from a political point of view. [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…]
This refers to either a corporate body or a natural person- is not excused from furnishing information or producing a document in pursuance of this section on the ground that the information or document might tend to incriminate him, but his answer to any question asked in the notice, or his furnishing of any other information in pursuance of the notice, is not admissible in evidence against him in any criminal proceedings other than proceedings under this Act. [More…]
We are excluding the natural persons such as directors or officers because we are relying upon the power relating to corporations. [More…]
However, we are omitting the natural persons and applying this clause only to corporations. [More…]
We are exempting the natural persons, although Senator Greenwood saw fit to expose them to the threat of prosecution and to the use of the information against them. [More…]
He does not answer what I have put, that is, that we have gone to the point of exempting from the kind of provision that he had in his legislation natural persons so that no individual would be liable to have used against him in a criminal proceeding, even under this Bill, information which had been furnished in pursuance of its provisions. [More…]
We see the natural consequence of the decline in the importance of the role and of the ability of local government to discharge its functions in the fact that able and conscientious people in the community-the type of people that one would want to see in local government- are now declining in greater numbers to involve themselves in a system for which they can claim only a mediocre performance. [More…]
I have been told that the reason for the delay in implementing the new scheme is that the number of waterside workers in the various outports of Australia still has to be reduced by about one thousand, and that the longer the present scheme runs so the number will be reduced by natural wastage through resignation and retirement. [More…]
It is fairly natural to presume that their attitude to the establishment of enrichment plants in Australia would not be likely to contribute significantly to our capacity to sell our product in that form. [More…]
to explore for, and to develop, Australia’s petroleum and mineral resources, and to assist in implementing the Government’s policies of promoting Australian ownership and control of our natural resources and resource industries. [More…]
We were told that when the Labor Government came into office its policies would be more understandable; there would be less industrial strife; the relationship between unions and government was that of natural partners; and we would see an era of industrial goodwill which Australia had never before experienced. [More…]
It is highly important that the wheat industry in this country remain attractive because it is one of those industries in which our natural advantages are quite superb, in which our history as a producer ranks second to none. [More…]
So it is quite natural where they would cut down on expenditure. [More…]
Very few of them start in life with any natural advantages in terms of money. [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…]
An amount of $75m has been provided for advances to the Pipeline Authority for expenditure on the Moomba-Sydney natural gas pipeline and spur pipelines. [More…]
Inflation is a natural concomitant of capitalism. [More…]
This is decentralisation based on natural resources which exist in the area. [More…]
So, we had a base of natural resources to work from and in South Australia through the years we achieved decentralisation- not for a year or two and not with an unhappy sort of situation of conscription towards a given area, but due to a voluntary desire of people to go to the areas because things were being offered which would give a decent way of life and assure a sound economic background. [More…]
We have cost advantages insofar as our natural pasture is concerned, but there are disadvantages which bring about a higher cost factor. [More…]
the Australian economy is still in pretty fair shapeliving standards are high, the level of employment is still (by any past standards) high, we still have our great natural resources, and we have largely escaped the consequences of the international oil crisis, . [More…]
Given this background it was natural that accompanying the strategy adopted in the last Budget was an element designed to guard against the future development of excess demand pressures. [More…]
There is a natural tendency on the part of farmers to retain plant, tractors and so on long beyond their useful life. [More…]
These levels are comparable with those found in other large marine creatures including sharks and sword fish and are derived from natural sources. [More…]
In regard to the feeding of turtles, it is not the natural dietary habit of turtles to live on fish for the whole of their lives. [More…]
We found that unless we could develop an area where we could grow natural food on which to feed the turtles we simply could not go on in the way in which we had been operating. [More…]
In answering a similar question this morning the Prime Minister said that he had not given Mr Renouf any instructions in relation to this matter and that it was natural on a trip such as that undertaken by the Prime Minister that Mr Renouf, as well as the Prime Minister and others, would talk to the Press about many things. [More…]
Bass Strait is a natural disadvantage. [More…]
We consider that the proposed legislation does not support the principle laid down by United Nation’s Covenant on Civil and Political Rights which states “The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State”, in that: [More…]
Is he also aware of reports that this cheap imported brandy is being marketed in various quarters as Australian brandy and that some of this brandy has not been distilled from natural grape juice and matured in wood for at least 2 years as required under the Spirits Act? [More…]
The natural corollary of what Senator Greenwood advocates is that a trade union secretary should rule by edict. [More…]
I would certainly support any Bill which Senator Sir Magnus Cormack introduced into this House to stop anything being erected on the site of Capital Hill because I think that, as it relates to the other hills in the city of Canberra, it is much better as a natural object without any human edifice on it at all. [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…]
The building in which we are now situated and any building erected on Camp Hill have a natural relationship with Lake Burley Griffin. [More…]
Any honourable senator who has walked out the front door of this building on a fine, sunny day such as today knows that he can walk with comfort down to the Lake which, as I say, has a natural relationship with this building. [More…]
This building is erected on a gentle slope which slopes down to the shores of the Lake, there is a very natural relationship between Camp Hill and Lake Burley Griffin. [More…]
I put it to the honourable senators that it is very natural that buildings should have a balance, one with the other, and that there should not be an overwhelming emphasis on one building above every other building in the tiers of Government which are represented in the capital city of Australia. [More…]
Within the growing up generation it is natural for girls to seek equally good vocational education as boys, and the girls who are now leaving school are probably in general prepared to have gainful employment during the major part of their adult lives. [More…]
The United Nations International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, article 23(1), with which we have declared ourselves to be in agreement, says that the family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State. [More…]
The family is a natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and by the state. [More…]
Workers’ compensation insurance poses special problems for the insurance industry due to the natural desire of governments to increase compensation rates in response to increasing community wage levels. [More…]
However, the Australian Government stands ready to provide technical and financial assistance in the way usually followed when natural disasters occur. [More…]
State government elections and State and Federal friction apart, we must remember that a large number of primary producers who have worked hard are threatened now by a natural phenomenon and must be assisted. [More…]
I have indicated in the past that the proper procedures- which were not laid down by this Government but which were laid down by our predecessors- require that in matters involving natural disasters in any State it is the duty or responsibility of the Premier to make an approach to the Prime Minister. [More…]
It was also recognised by the previous administration that where, in its judgment, a State was able to provide the financial resources to overcome these natural problems which arose, it should do so. [More…]
Is it not natural that any Minister overseas, if he saw fit to contact his own Prime Minister, would be at liberty to do so? [More…]
I ask this in the light of the fact that Senator Wriedt forwarded a letter to the Chairman of the Estimates Committee, Senator Primmer, in which he indicated that it would be only natural, having regard to the attitude of the Opposition in this place, that the Minister would be looking at ways other than by passing legislation through the Senate to have the organisation established. [More…]
However, given the attitude of the Opposition parties to many important Government legislative initiatives it is only natural that Dr Cairns and the Attorney-General, Senator Murphy, would study alternatives to the passage of legislation through Parliament should this contingency be required. [More…]
Likewise overlooked, or deliberately left out, is the axiomatic and traditional regard for the Natural Law, the impregnable rock of civilisation, i.e., marriage, as and being, the basis of human society. [More…]
I do not want to weary the Senate by reading any very long extracts from a document which already is public information but I would like to say that if one refers to statement F it states, in response to information sought by Senator Baume, that $100,000 is the estimated expenditure for the Australian Assistance Plan publicity and that $35,000 has been set aside for natural resources material and $65,000 for promotion on a regional basis. [More…]
They will include matters which concern not only unique geographical features, unique natural and botanical features of this country but also the preservation of historical buildings which are important to future generations of Australians. [More…]
But the point remains that in 23 years of government the Liberal Party did nothing about this very important question of preserving unique historical and natural features in this country. [More…]
It is quite natural for people to question whether we should be paying millions of dollars for paintings for the national art collection. [More…]
What contribution to that level has been made by (a) natural radiation and (b) nuclear testing. [More…]
& (2) The following table gives the radiation doses estimated to have been incurred by the Australian population during the past 12 months from natural sources and from fall-out from nuclear explosions in the atmosphere. [More…]
We find the industry repugnant, unnecessary, and benefits but a few people in this country, whereas live kangaroos in their natural habitat, through their value as tourist attractions are economically far more profitable to our economy and to us aesthetically. [More…]
In every society throughout this world the family is the natural and the fundamental unit of that society. [More…]
-Has the Minister representing the Minister for Minerals and Energy seen claims that the supply of natural gas to Perth could be inadequate by 1980? [More…]
I refer also to the exploitation of the very large reserves of natural gas which already have been proven at very great expense by the companies that have been drilling on the north-west shelf for some years. [More…]
Another aspect of this problem of the attitude expressed by the Minister for Minerals and Energy, which I believe is the cause of the trouble, concerns the supply of natural gas to the metropolitan area of Perth. [More…]
As I have said, on the north west shelf large reserves of natural gas have been proven. [More…]
The stalemate is so serious that there is undoubtedly a real threat to the supply of natural gas to the metropolitan area of Perth from at least 1980 onwards. [More…]
Although there may be supplies for a longer period for domestic consumption in Perth because of the resources at Dongara which supply Perth with gas, nevertheless there is already a great demand by industrial users in Perth for natural gas which cannot be met from the Dongara field. [More…]
So already there is a demand for natural gas which cannot be satisfied. [More…]
That demand will grow and by the 1980s there will be a very serious shortage of natural gas for Perth, apart altogether from the rest of the State. [More…]
Only one person is responsible for the threat to Perth’s supplies of natural gas- that is, the Minister for Minerals and Energy. [More…]
The floods of January 1974 created an urgent situation by damaging some levee banks and greatly eroding an existing natural floodwater Break-out ‘, with the result that flooding caused considerable damage to property and crops. [More…]
the need to give the widest possible protection and assistance to the family as the natural and fundamental group unit of society, particularly while it is responsible for the care and education of dependent children: [More…]
In regard to paragraph (b), the Committee will recall that those words ‘the natural and fundamental group unit of society’ are the ones which appear in the Convention on Civil and Political Rights and also in the Universal Declaration of Rights, and I am sure that their inclusion in this Bill will receive a certain amount of approval throughout the community. [More…]
It is said now, although it was not said originally, that the project will result in a wastage of natural gas. [More…]
The facts simply are that the amount of natural gas which would be used over the next 20 to 25 years until the turn of the century would represent about 10 per cent of the available known natural gas resources at the present time. [More…]
It is quite unreasonable whatever might be the theoretical arguments to say that there would be a diminution of the supplies of natural gas to other persons who would be using it. [More…]
I share the view expressed by the Minister for Transport that out natural highways should be utilised to the maximum extent practicable and would not therefore wish to see Sydney’s ferry services wither away; as has happened to so many public transport services. [More…]
We want the people to say what type of seating they want; whether or not they prefer air conditioning or natural ventilation; do they want more seats per train or more standing room. [More…]
One of the obvious things would be a natural act of kindness of a wife cooking a meal for her husband. [More…]
Any relationship specified in sub-section (3) includes a relationship traced through, or lo, a person who is or was an adopted child, and, for that purpose, the relationship between an adopted child and his adoptive parent, or each of his adoptive parents, shall be deemed to bc or to have been the natural relationship of child and parent. [More…]
and development of understanding of, the factors affecting marital and family stability in Australia, with the object of promoting the protection of the family as the natural and fundamental group unit in society: and [More…]
A liquid gas pipeline will be laid to Redcliffs, and natural gas will be provided to the 3 cities. [More…]
It has been the history of the States that they tend to look after themselves which is, I suppose, a fairly natural reaction. [More…]
One of the problems with electoral reform is that there is a natural suspicion from parties in opposition as to the government’s intention. [More…]
Admittedly, the old export payments insurance scheme- the insurance of extended type of payment or the guarantee for extended terms of payment- has been of great assistance to Australian exporters over the years, and what is provided by this Bill is simply a natural but very important development of that type of assistance. [More…]
In a situation such as this, it is only natural to expect the vigneron not to purchase beyond replacement of stocks which would be required for sale in 2 years time. [More…]
I feel that we desire people who are resident in Australia and who are desirous of becoming employed in our Public Service to become naturalised citizens. [More…]
There is a provision in the legislation, to which there has already been reference, under which persons who are not naturalised and who are migrants can become members of the Public Service provided that, in the opinion of the Governor-General, there is no detriment to the national security. [More…]
Accepting that there is that gateway that will enable exceptional cases to be covered, why should not the general proposition be that the Public Service is open to natural born or naturalised Australian citizens, people who are prepared to take the oath of allegiance? [More…]
Resistance to change and fear of change are natural attitudes when people cannot see the effects of change on themselves. [More…]
I am quite satisfied now that that was a mistake and the concentration of so many personnel in a place which is not at all natural in terms of the environment is one of the hazards facing this industry. [More…]
One speaks of natural justice. [More…]
In my second reading speech on the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Bill I drew the attention of honourable senators to world-wide concern for the conservation of wildlife and of places of natural, scenic, scientific and recreational significance. [More…]
We all share a responsibility to conserve for future generations as much of our natural heritage as possible- in terms of both area and diversity. [More…]
It enables the National Government- for the first time- to make a major financial commitment so that future generations will have the chance to see, understand and enjoy the special natural qualities of Australia. [More…]
In short, I regard this Bill as a very significant part of this Government’s response to the growing public awareness of our precious but dwindling natural heritage. [More…]
Everyone will accept that a normal measure of risk taking is the proper and natural province of a free enterprise society, but I am sure that everyone will agree that the sort of inflationary risk taking with which the Australian economy is faced today is most definitely incapable of being solved by the best managerial skills here or anywhere. [More…]
Honourable senators will be aware of worldwide concern for the conservation of wildlife and of places of natural, scenic, scientific and recreational significance. [More…]
Everywhere the natural systems which evolved with man and of which he is part are under threat. [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…]
In commending this Bill to honourable senators, I would like to stress that it is high time that this Parliament enacted legislation on behalf of all Australians to permit the Australian Government to play its proper part in the conservation of our natural heritage, which indeed is part of a world heritage becoming increasingly precious to mankind. [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…]
The advance of agricultural pursuits and the expansion of cities and their industries have been the cause of much of the natural habitat of Australia’s native flora and fauna being severely reduced and in some cases lost completely. [More…]
Our natural heritage should be fostered and our natural landscapes protected for the sake of social, cultural, educational and scientific purposes as well as for Australia ‘s future tourist potential. [More…]
The Australian Government is seeking to protect those natural resources upon which the nation’s well being is founded, in the interests of present and future generations. [More…]
With the completion of this essential first program, the Government will then assess its responsibilities in the implementation of a national plan to protect and restore Australia’s soil resources- which is perhaps, along with water, the most vital of all our natural resources. [More…]
I acknowledge that in a world in which we are in peril in this coming year of some 30 million people dying of starvation and disease it is imperative for Australia to look to the whole of its natural resources and to put them to work not just for the lucky 13 million people of Australia but to help to provide for and to feed those who are less privileged than we. [More…]
The House of Representatives Select Committee on Wildlife Conservation recommended that grants be provided to the States to enable them to acquire areas of wildlife habitat which are of natural significance. [More…]
How good it is that in the space of some 9 years in my State of New South Wales the areas of natural parks have substantially more than doubled: They have increased far more than that because some 2 million acres that were in existence before the Askin Government came to office were taken up almost entirely by the Kosciusko National Park. [More…]
The leading one on that list is the Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. [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…]
If that is the case then, of course, a problem arises in relation to all those rights and licences and permits to explore for and to develop oil or natural gas which have been acquired by various companies under the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act. [More…]
I probably do not need to reiterate to honourable senators that this is the well known offshore legislation, the exercise of cooperation between the Commonwealth Government and all States to enable the drilling for oil and natural gas around the off-shore areas of Australia on the continental shelf off the Australian continent. [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…]
It is worse when one realises that, to my knowledge, no attempt has been made to impose any statutory obligation on private individuals and companies which in my view are indulging, together with State governments, in the rape and spoliation of part of our natural resource heritage. [More…]
We see, as we did not see earlier, despoliation of our natural environment inways which were quite perceptibly occurring but the import of which was never sufficiently appreciated. [More…]
We now see the way in which the natural features of a continent are disappearing. [More…]
It is incumbent upon mankind to do what it can to preserve the natural heritage which is ours. [More…]
I know that Mr Barnard, the Minister for Defence, who is responsible for the Natural Disasters Organisation, expressed very great concern about the possibility of this happening again. [More…]
I suppose that that is fairly natural under normal circumstances. [More…]
The natural hatred of Aborigines by the policeman caused an upsurge of violence on his arrival. [More…]
The Committee was subjected to a large range of different sounds, electronic and natural, that were frightening to hear. [More…]
Naturally, the Senate bell has the higher tone. [More…]
The document also emphasises the value of the private sector in the economy and how it is the private sector- individuals and companies, as the document states- that can best develop our natural resources and employ our work force. [More…]
The disaster is the worst natural calamity in Australia’s history and this Bill covers measures necessary both to restore Darwin and to provide for the future safety of people and property of that city. [More…]
It refers to measures which must be taken to restore the devastation created by the worst natural disaster that has ever befallen Australia or any citizen of Australia. [More…]
All these people have expressed a very keen desire, and this is perfectly natural, to have an opportunity to study the Bill and to express their views to this Parliament. [More…]
If so, is this a precedent which will be followed in relation to victims of any natural disaster which happens before Parliament debates and votes on the National Compensation Bill? [More…]
We believe that if the Commission is to have a proper independent status it is only natural that the Commission itself should be the body to appoint the general manager- its executive officer. [More…]
The work of the Natural Disaster Organisation is worthy of the highest commendation. [More…]
A time of natural disaster is a great time for playing petty politics. [More…]
The local civil defence organisation was the only organisation that was partly geared to cover a natural disaster of this type in those days. [More…]
It was well equipped to handle a nuclear disaster but not well equipped to handle a natural disaster. [More…]
The organisation had never been given a great deal of information and instruction on how to handle a natural disaster. [More…]
But within a matter of hours after the Darwin cyclone the Australian Government put its Natural Disasters Organisation into operation. [More…]
When we were in Opposition we tried time and time again, by urgency motions and other motions in this chamber, to get some sort of a natural disaster organisation off the ground. [More…]
They said that we did not need a natural disasters organisation. [More…]
Major-General Stretton, who was appointed as head of the Natural Disasters Organisation by this Government, did a tremendous job. [More…]
On that occasion the Natural Disasters Organisation had its first trial of strength. [More…]
The damage that has been caused in this and other natural disasters in this country in the last few years ought not to be dealt with as a political issue and this Government has not done so. [More…]
I think that in those circumstances we are able to draw the conclusion that about every 30 or 40 years through natural causes Darwin will be faced with problems of the sort caused by the calamity that hit on Christmas Day last. [More…]
That, whether it is right or wrong, is a natural desire and it is not to be labelled subversion. [More…]
This Government is sincere in its intentions to do the very best it can for all those who suffered from this devastating natural disaster. [More…]
Honourable senators will remember that the cyclone that hit Darwin involved the Natural Disaster Organisation in its first operation. [More…]
Our Natural Disaster Organisation was a success. [More…]
Another was a Mr Lloyd Wilson, who was to be in charge of natural disasters. [More…]
In 1904 it was natural that unions looked to the Court of Conciliation and Arbitration for protection. [More…]
People are now becoming more aware of the tremendous value of these places of historic interest and of natural interest to people. [More…]
They are endemic in Indonesia and they may well be even more severe if transmitted to the Australian mainland because the natural hazards that operate against them in that country would not operate against them in Australia. [More…]
Superficially, no doubt, it appeared a natural thing for the new government to include courts of justice of its own. [More…]
It was natural in 1 900 for the Commonwealth Government to be given power to invest State courts with federal jurisdiction. [More…]
It was also natural and convenient for this type of jurisdiction to continue for many years, but the situation is now very different. [More…]
That is the statement which he made that at Federation it was natural to invest jurisdiction in State courts, but he went on to say that it was not up to us to perpetuate an historical accident. [More…]
I have said in this chamber previously that a very well known international oil organisation was able to prevent the people of Sydney from getting natural gas for a period of almost 5 years. [More…]
What we are concerned about is that these natural assets on the Australian continent and off-shore within the area described by international law should belong to the Australian people and that they ought to enjoy the benefits of them. [More…]
It is a question of whether the Australian community should derive benefits from the natural wealth of this country which is deposited both on the land and on the continental shelf and its surrounds. [More…]
They include exploration for minerals and the carrying on of operations, the execution of works, the recovery of minerals and the carrying on of operations and the execution of works for that purpose, the conservation and protection of, and the prevention of the waste of, the natural resources of the offshore zone. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has requested that a team of trained officers be sent with the initial task force to areas devastated by natural disasters? [More…]
If we had said to the senator who has left this chamber and who was endeavouring to reform society as far as companies are concerned ‘There will not be any mergers of any companies’, what a howl there would have been; we would have been told that we were trespassing on the natural rights of private enterprise. [More…]
Reading from the Bill, the Corporation will have the function of facilitating and encouraging the establishment, development and advancement of Australian industries concerned with the manufacture, processing, treatment, transportation or distribution of goods or the development or use of natural resources, including the recovery of minerals. [More…]
If it had been backed by the AIDC and by the NIF as originally envisaged by the Government I doubt whether there would be a place anywhere for any private company or for people in this country to own or operate any of our natural resources. [More…]
to facilitate and encourage the establishment, development and advancement of Australian industries concerned with the manufacture, processing, treatment, transportation or distribution of goods, or the development or use of natural resources (including the recovery of minerals ) or of technology, by- [More…]
If that is to be said to be the way in which we are to fund the exploration for and exploitation of our natural resources and /or to assist our own secondary industries and rural industries, why should that sort of technique and that philosophy not be employed through the representatives of the Australian people as elected by the Australian people and not through the board of directors of company A or company B? [More…]
From the way in which I followed his argument it seemed to me that on the one hand he was trying to say that Australians should have an interest in their own economy, natural resources and secondary industry and that on the other he talked about the importance of overseas finance and foreign investment. [More…]
The unexpected appearance in your columns ( 1 November) of the views of the ‘Modest Member’ on the Refrigeration and Compressors Bounty Bill now before the Senate obliges me to break a silence self-imposed as a courtesy natural to an issue of industrial and political seriousness under discussion with the Government in Canberra. [More…]
The third convention concerns the protection of the world cultural and natural heritage. [More…]
If this is the case then recovery in the beef market will be a natural consequence. [More…]
I think that on world tests Australia because of its grasslands, both natural and improved, and because of the management capacity of its operators and breeders has demonstrated that it can produce cattle extremely well, very cheaply and very efficiently. [More…]
The Natural Disasters Organisation and the Defence Force, the Departments of the Northern Territory, Housing and Construction, Social Security, Manufacturing Industry, and elements of other departments all contributed to the relief operations. [More…]
2) 1974-75 to assist New South Wales and Victoria in meeting the cost of agreed natural disaster relief and restoration measures. [More…]
I make the plea to the Australian Government that it ought to take the opportunity afforded by the occurrence of a number of natural disasters to evaluate the emotional effects upon people of natural disasters of the magnitude that regrettably are becoming more frequent in Australia. [More…]
Five natural disasters are referred to in the legislation, namely the disasters in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland and, we can add to that, Tasmania and Darwin. [More…]
Therefore I suggest to the Senate- I propose to follow it up with the Minister for Health (Dr Everingham)- that the National Hospitals and Health Services Commission commission a study of the emotional morbidity which is the sequel of natural disasters of the severity and the scale that Australians in Darwin and southern Tasmania have unfortunately experienced in recent months. [More…]
I hope that the Government will take this opportunity, through the Health and Hospitals Commission, to have a broad national analysis to determine the extent of medical-social pathology consequent upon natural disaster. [More…]
The fourth matter that I think could well be considered in this national survey which 1 suggest is whether the role of the Natural Disasters Organisation should be enlarged. [More…]
If one already exists I would not believe that it has been in sufficient depth to afford a guide to this nation as to how continuing natural disasters, which I regret have to be expected, can be most adequately dealt with in the public interest. [More…]
Is it a fact that the Defence Services are called upon to provide a wide range of emergency relief equipment from their own stores in times of natural disasters? [More…]
Certainly we need to seek no further in relation to the area of natural disaster. [More…]
I would say that those are the natural effects of government interference in almost any business. [More…]
The truth of the matter is that the Opposition has been caught between its own high flown rhetoric in favour of this legislation and its natural inclinations which are against it and the belated concern on the other hand of its State government colleages who have suddenly discovered that they are concerned about this legislation in the interests of their own particular governments. [More…]
Therefore, it seems perfectly natural and, to my mind, quite obvious that, when the Senate is confronted with a Bill of this type, with its size and complexity, the proper and efficient way of dealing with it, both in the interests of the Bill itself and of the Senate’s proceedings in dealing with other business and legislation, is that it should be sent off to a special committee or a standing committee to give it the type of close consideration that it must receive. [More…]
Until in the last few years Mr Justice Windeyer adverted to the limitations- shall I say- of that doctrine and the possibility that there should be more flexibility in ascribing to the persons who promote a juristic corporation agency for the principal natural persons we had that doctrine very arbitrarily applied. [More…]
It will be able to engage in specialist work such as, to give some examples, the operating criteria of multinational corporations or an examination of developmental projects involving the use of our natural resources. [More…]
It will also be covering a field of national interest insurancethose forms of insurance which are unprofitable but socially necessary, as has been found in the case of natural disasters such as the Darwin cyclone and the Brisbane flood- which private insurance offices do not handle. [More…]
They are a departure from previous Australian Government initiatives in response to natural disasters. [More…]
One of the great problems in all electoral matters is the natural suspicion between parties that somebody is trying to get an electoral advantage. [More…]
It is natural, I would have thought, that if there were a denial of that proposition the attempt would be made to have the denial made in this place. [More…]
This third arm of government is well geared to undertake a program of accelerated natural growth development. [More…]
The growth development in these other centres must be natural growth development which includes industries, commerce and all the things that go with development, and should not create another area of public servants or another area of outstanding beauty which does not provide the necessary things in order that there may be a progressive and self-maintained area. [More…]
To protect the environment and to satisfy the people there is no substitute for natural growth development. [More…]
I ask: Can the Minister say whether the provision in Australia for natural disaster crop and livestock insurance compares favourably with that available in other countries? [More…]
That while there is a need to establish in Australia a Natural Disaster Fund to provide compensation for property damage and other losses resulting from disasters such as earthquakes, floods and cyclones, such a Fund can be established, as in other countries, using the medium of the existing private enterprise insurance offices.

It is natural that the Minister for Foreign Affairs should support his Prime Minister because, perhaps unfortunately, that is a legacy of the Party system. [More…]
That while there is a need to establish in Australia a Natural Disaster Fund to provide compensation for property damage and other losses resulting from disasters such as earthquakes, floods and cyclones, such a Fund can be established, as in other countries, using the medium of the existing private enterprise insurance offices.

The same principle applies, of course, to natural disasters. [More…]
We do not know at any time when this country, which is particularly subject to natural disasters, may be struck by the various elements, and it is necessary for a government immediately to come to the aid of people who are affected. [More…]
The insurance companies have not advised the policy holders that they ought to increase the value of the insurance on their properties so that they would be fully compensated if there were a natural disaster or any loss. [More…]
The succession of recent natural disasters has amply demonstrated this. [More…]
We do, of course, have to recognise always the possibility of natural disasters. [More…]
This is made up of $5m in respect of the Tasman Bridge disaster and $5m in respect of natural disaster relief. [More…]
As an institution at the service of everyone the Post gradually comes to appear as a natural extension of each individual’s activity. [More…]

It is natural that questions should arise as to what this will mean to the States. [More…]
He has stated that we have to look after the area of natural disasters. [More…]
In the Inter-State Commission, however, we tj have a natural, necessary, and one can almost say, an essential adjunct of one Commonwealth Legislature. [More…]
It is natural that there should be disagreement between the parties as to the extent of the powers. [More…]
I certainly believe that if an Inter-State Commission had been in existence at the time when petroleum and natural gas were discovered in Australia it could have performed- it would have performed, because it would have been empowered to do so- the function of establishing a means by which a network of pipelines throughout Australia could have ensured at reasonable rates, or at least assessed rates, the distribution of crude oil and gas right around Australia. [More…]
That while there is a need to establish in Australia a Natural Disaster Fund to provide compensation for property damage and other losses resulting from disasters such as earthquakes, floods and cyclones, such a Fund can be established, as in other countries, using the medium of the existing private enterprise insurance offices.

Following careful analysis of the situation, your Distribution Commissioners could find no reason to amend their original proposals in this area, which made use of natural boundaries such as rivers and streams, and are in full accord with all the criteria outlined in section 19 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act. [More…]
Not only do we lose any contribution that they can make to the community from their different personalities but we could be missing out on the undeveloped talents that they are holding back because of a perfectly natural instinct to protect themselves from being hurt on racial grounds. [More…]
Draw this thing to its natural conclusion: People who are of a different race and who are dissatisfied with their lot in life, could quite likely present a case to the Commissioner because they were perhaps unsuccessful in obtaining employment. [More…]
In the process of doing this they have cut clean across the traditional methods by which electoral boundaries are established in the countrynamely, on the basis of common interest, of natural features and so on- just to obtain numbers in order to make it look as though this is a fair redistribution. [More…]
The natural affinity which has existed in the country of Victoria, where there is a basic community of interest, has been destroyed in the interests of building on these notional seats in the centre of the urban population in Victoria. [More…]
I do not think we should pass a Bill of this kind without acknowledging and writing into the record that which is very well known to us- that it is very natural for people to drift towards other people with whom they have something in common. [More…]
It is natural to discriminate . [More…]

The crux of their proposition was that the Australian Government should foot the bill for national interest and/or natural disaster insurance but that the general insurance companies should act as agents for the Government and pick up a fee for providing a government service. [More…]
It is unfortunate that the pressures that were put on her after she made the statement concerning Australian natural pastures and so on obviously were a factor in her deciding not to continue as a commissioner on that inquiry. [More…]
I should have thought that the natural interpretation of the words ‘laws of Australia’ tends to exclude the States and the Territories when obviously this amendment makes the matter clear beyond doubt. [More…]
There is also concern at the devastation caused by capitalism’s regard for the natural environment as its sole preserve for the production of profits. [More…]
In other words, the conversion of natural resources into waste and pollution. [More…]
It seemed to be natural to take that as the meaning of the words ‘any person who had ceased to be a member’. [More…]
On 4 March 1975 Senator Drake-Brockman asked me as Minister representing the Minister for Defence a question without notice relating to a request by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals for trained officers of the Society to be sent with the initial task force to areas devastated by natural disasters. [More…]
In these cases, control of disaster relief operations will be in the hands of the appropriate State Organisation with the Natural Disasters Organisation providing co-ordination and assistance only as requested by the State. [More…]
The Director General of the Natural Disasters Organisation has, however, been asked to bring the Society’s request to the notice of the Directors of each of the State Emergency Service Organisations with a view to them also providing support. [More…]
On 6 March 1975 Senator Sheil asked me as Minister representing the Minister for Defence, a question without notice relating to Defence Service Stores provided in time of natural disasters. [More…]
The replenishment of Service stores used in times of natural disasters is accomplished through the normal procurement procedures of the Armed Forces based on the resulting level of stores holdings. [More…]
Normally the cost of replenishing stores provided by all three Services in times of natural disasters is met from the Defence Vote, which is supplemented as necessary for these purposes. [More…]

This figure is based on a stock count in June 1974 and allows for the 12 deaths mentioned and 5 per cent loss due to natural causes which is the average figure in such situations. [More…]
This figure is based on a stock count in June 1974 and allows for the 12 deaths mentioned above, a 5 per cent loss due to natural causes (which is the average figure in such situations), 62 1 cattle sold and 400 calves; thus the June 1974 mustering figure was 3317. [More…]
In this role the AGIC will facilitate the provision of natural disasters coverage for all Australians. [More…]
The Governments of New Zealand, India, Israel and the United States of America, to name but a few, are already involved to varying degrees in providing insurance to their citizens, and some, but not all, include natural disaster insurance. [More…]
What is more natural than to show some hospitality to the people from that organisation when they are in this country? [More…]
As I said, they were members of the Socialist International, of which the Australian Labor Party is a member, and what is more natural than that we would be talking to them? [More…]
The Government sought from the Committee for the first time in Australian history an inventory of our natural and man-made heritage. [More…]

those places, being components of the natural environment of Australia or the cultural environment of Australia, that have aesthetic, historic, scientific or social significance or other special value for future generations as well as for the present community. [More…]
I think the essential principles are set out in clause 4 of the Bill where the National Estate is defined as follows: the national estate consists of those places, being components of the natural environment of Australia or the cultural environment of Australia, that have aesthetic, historic, scientific or social significance or other special value for future generations as well as for the present community. [More…]
The three components of the cultural and natural environment forming the National Estate are those which are: [More…]
In that definition the Committee also pointed out that these things fall into many categories, some of them matters of natural environment, some of them man-made and part of our cultural environment, others archeological and others cultural. [More…]
The Minister for Health has provided the following answer to the honourable senator’s question: (1)1 am not aware of any large scale surveys into the natural levels of mercury and mercurials in the total Australian environment. [More…]
Natural accumulation of mercury occurs in fish, and considerable research is being undertaken to determine levels of mercury in other foods. [More…]

The major part of the island tended to be a national park in the form of a sanctuary for Australian wildlife in its natural setting. [More…]
The New South Wales Planning and Environment Commission has apparently recommended to the Minister for Lands and Forests that the island remain in its natural state, with the small north-eastern tip of the island to be developed as a fishing port. [More…]
This area of the island is isolated from the bulk of the island by a channel usually covered by high tide, and this small area is not in its natural state. [More…]
The Tweed Shire Council has advised that the most recent plan for the development of the island proposes that about half remain in its natural state as a nature reserve, with the remainder of the island to be used for a number of purposes. [More…]
There happens to be a nonparty prejudice on the part of those people who for so long have endeavoured to stimulate the Queensland Government into doing something which would allow the Reef to combat and protect itself against many threats, both natural and man-made. [More…]
When more modern methods of transportation are available- of course, that can be very costlypeople will realise what a wonderful place it is and more people will go to see the Great Barrier Reef, which, so far as I am concerned, is the greatest natural masterpiece in this country. [More…]
The Queensland Government is conscious of the need to look after this very great natural attraction. [More…]
$A450 million of our import bill can be replaced with the full availability of natural gas throughout Australia in substitution for imported crude. [More…]
Apart from the completion of the natural gas pipeline from Cooper Basin-Palm Valley-Dampier-Perth, provision was made for the 84 miles submarine pipeline from Dampier to the North Rankin production platform. [More…]
Provision was made for participation in the necessary petrochemical plant at Dampier, to extract the natural gas liquids for conversion into motor spirit and other derivatives. [More…]
The cost of three uranium mining and milling plants in the Northern Territory and assistance to the Cooper Basin natural gas consortium, in which the Australian Government is now a partner, was included and also the cost of the plans to economise in diesel fuel consumption, by electrification of the heavy freight rail areas in New South Wales and Victoria. [More…]
The nation, every State and Territory would benefit from the development of our uranium, our natural gas, our coalour immense natural resources. [More…]
We are determined to exploit Western Australia’s enormous natural gas potential- the North- West Shelf- rather than selling off its vital part of Australia ‘s farm. [More…]
In order to tap the natural gas resources in South Australia, New South Wales and Western Australia, we have under consideration proposals costing over $400m for pipelines. [More…]
To date 33 professional groupings, each of which includes at least one natural person, have received interim authorisations pending a detailed consideration of the practices for which authorisation has been sought. [More…]
1 was the one who discovered Mr Karidis and if it had not been for me finding Mr Karidis the Government would never have got near the point of being able to raise enough money to give Australia ownership of its own natural gas. [More…]
We agreed with a very prominent member of the Government of the day, Mr Jack McEwen, who was the Leader of the Australian Country Party at the time and who is on record as criticising the Liberal Government of the day for selling the farm and for giving away Australia’s natural resources. [More…]
As Mr Connor pointed out, the estimated value of those natural resources is not just $4 billion, it is $5,700 billion. [More…]
The Opposition parties would let overseas interests come in and take control of our natural resources as they have done down the years. [More…]
First, he mentioned the natural gas pipeline from Cooper Basin, Palm Valley, Dampier to Perth. [More…]
Thirdly, there was the petrochemical plant at Dampier to extract the natural gas liquids for conversion into motor spirit and other derivatives. [More…]

The term ‘natural disaster’ is not mentioned in the Bill in any consequential form. [More…]
We in the Opposition hold the view that the area of natural disaster calls for treatment, and I shall deal with that shortly. [More…]
It demonstrated the need for a natural disasters relief authority. [More…]
The functions would include the administration of financial disaster relief, the prescription of measures for minimisation of risk exposure to disasters and the co-ordination of the activities of various government and private agencies in the mitigation of the effects of natural and other disasters. [More…]
Secondly, the attitude of the Opposition in opposing this measure denies the public the benefits of natural disaster insurance which private insurers for obvious reasons are unable to provide. [More…]
Unfortunately this nation has experienced in recent years a number of natural disasters, in particular the Queensland floods and the Darwin cyclone, in relation to which, if it had not been for the beneficient attitude of this Government, many people would have experienced personal financial disaster. [More…]
It provides for national disasters and natural disasters, which are not provided for and are not likely to be provided for under current commercial practice. [More…]
Apart from the disaster of this Government, the insurance companies have sustained heavy claims due to natural disasters in the last couple of years. [More…]
If Senator Wright would just listen for a moment, instead of giving vent to such expressions and grunting away about superphosphate or natural manure or whatever he is talking about, he would hear what the Green Paper on Rural Policy in Australia states. [More…]
The one exception is that there is a job to be done with regard to natural disasters in Australia. [More…]
It is proper that the Government should come forward, and come forward soon, with a plan for the proper financing of insurance cover for natural disasters and it is quite competent for it to do so. [More…]
It also is aimed at providing insurance for non-commercial risks such as natural disasters and crop and stock losses. [More…]
We know that natural disaster insurance in this country is in a very poor state, and people of Darwin, Brisbane and other places who have suffered unfortunate disasters all can testify to that. [More…]
It is a piece of hypocrisy for the Government to put forward as a mainstay of the Bill that the Corporation might be directed by the Minister to engage in natural disaster insurance even though it was not on commercially sound principles. [More…]
So we will persevere when we go into government with the industry’s idea, and I have no doubt that there will be a better natural disaster scheme, based upon proposals nationwide from the industry co-operating together, than anything we could get from a public enterprise with a performance such as that of the Australian Post Office or the Australian National Line. [More…]
In addition, Federal Executive calls on the Australian Government and the insurance industry to urgently examine ways of protecting the Australian people against loss arising from catastrophe and natural disaster. [More…]
The Government has placed great store on the question of natural disasters, and I must say that that question gives me some concern, too. [More…]
The Minister must be aware of the contribution that has been made by the insurance industry with respect to natural disasters in the past. [More…]
I know in his heart the Minister agrees with me, that this is good business to attract money from overseas to pay our own natural disasters. [More…]
The same applies with respect to natural disasters. [More…]

The point has been emphasised that insurance companies have not been able to meet natural disaster requirements. [More…]
It is not for the private sector of insurance companies to make provision for natural disasters, any more than it is for any other organisation to take from the Government the task of national development. [More…]
The Opposition has indicated that it does not find it offensive that measures are being taken to establish a more equitable system to settle losses pursuant to a natural disaster of the magnitude of the Brisbane floods. [More…]
Of course it is interesting that that Party- the Premier of Queensland was expressing some fears about the problems associated with his State 18 months or so ago- has lost its enthusiasm for entering this area and assisting those affected by natural disasters. [More…]

I think that they should be welcome on the basis of guidelines that point out that we want them to become established as good Australian organisations and that within 8 or 10 years of their establishment they should by a natural process shed at least 50 per cent of their shareholding to the Australian people. [More…]
I do not think that there would ever have been those finds of crude oil and natural gas off the Victoria n coast only 8 years ago if it were not for the willingness of the Broken Hill Pty Co. Ltd to have tendered throughout the world for an overseas company to bring in its knowledge and expertise to explore and then exploit any discoveries. [More…]
Certain other innovations are indicated, including standing machinery for assessing Service pay and conditions, a Service Ombudsman and a natural disasters organisation. [More…]

The Prime Minister has determined that his love of art, his determination to spend Australian taxpayers’ money to ensure that Australia has the most expensive art collection that the taxpayers can buy, should take priority over conserving Australia’s real natural heritage. [More…]
Of course one might ask what the consequences of such a sale would be to the consumers of natural gas in Australia. [More…]
With about two-thirds of its petroleum requirement covered by indigenous crude oil, the direct impact on the Australian economy of the oil price increases has been modest and in the medium and long term Australia stands to benefit from the energy crisis with its abundance of energy resources such as coal, natural gas and uranium.

I submit that this is a natural outcome of the present stage of development of the economic system under which we are living and are likely to be living at least for some considerable number of years to come. [More…]

The proposal that the Government acquire those items for the National Museum was, naturally, a desirable one, but in a difficult year for the obtaining of funds for new programs it is only natural that there would be certain to be some disappointment about proposals of this nature, which obviously could not be taken up because of financial stringencies on the part of the Government.

Mr Fraser could save $200m by the sale of the natural gas pipeline from Gidgealpa to Sydney, and this may be a legitimate political objective. [More…]

The Government is now considering what further action it might be able to take, if that intimation is correct, to ensure that this important instrument of direct communication between the Government and the members of the Cocos Malay community is effective so that the members of the Cocos community are not denied their natural, basic and democratic rights. [More…]
A system of remission will also be applied in cases where a grower can demonstrate that he has suffered significant crop damage in a particular year through natural disaster. [More…]
The proposed remission system should substantially meet problems of individual orchardists in all States whose income from leviable area was affected because of low yields or was seriously affected by natural disaster, or by difficulties in marketing production. [More…]
In instances of very severe natural disaster, the remission as proposed may be insufficient. [More…]
Dr Feingold attributes a wide range of reactions to both natural and synthetic flavours and colours and states that complete control of symptoms can be effected by a diet which eliminates these. [More…]
I believe that if natural minerals are being exploited for a profit motive the environment ought to be protected, the health of the workers ought to be protected, decent standards and working conditions ought to be the order of the day and there ought to be a fair return of profit to the Australian people.

Let me say again that these excise duties, these levies, these 3 Bills that the Senate is discussing cognately today, unfortunately all contribute to a situation which will tend to drive down the capacity of this country to find, to research and to develop its magnificent natural resources, resources which in many cases are extremely valuable today and tomorrow will be of a value nobody knows.

Queensland has natural resources in the ground and it is well endowed with minerals, but nothing was done about them until the State had 14 years of drought, and then the State had to turn from primary industry and develop its mineral resources. [More…]

Lest time should defeat me in this, and knowing Senator McAuliffe ‘s natural antipathy to questions, I have delivered to the responsible Minister the text of some 8 questions that I pose; not to hold up the debate but, as I have said to him in my communication, to give him ample warning so that when he sums up this debate he may, and I hope he will, reply and provide answers.

Is the Minister also aware of the results of research published overseas which indicate that the toxicity of even comparatively high levels of naturally accumulated mercury in fish from non-polluted environments may be considerably modified and reduced by natural protective mechanisms in the fish, to the extent that Japanese scientists, working on the problem of mercury in fish, now consider such naturally occurring mercury to bc non-toxic as distinct from that occurring as results of high levels of pollution. [More…]
This report recognised that fish caught in unpolluted natural waters contain a certain amount of methyl mercury. [More…]

That the Australian Government uses its constitutional authority to assist the Queensland Government and any other properly constituted body to develop and conserve the recreational, educational and scientific potentials of the natural environment of Fraser Island for the long term benefit of the people of Australia. [More…]
If such persons chose to remain silent they could only expect the ordinary and natural consequences. [More…]
If such persons chose to remain silent they could only expect the ordinary and natural consequences. [More…]
It was a natural thing for me immediately when approached first on the matter and before receiving any documentation specifically to raise the point that it was this same crude. [More…]
Firstly, let us deal with the case of Ivan Pavlovic, a naturalised Australian citizen of Croatian origin who wishes to obtain an Australian passport to travel to Yugoslavia. [More…]
Let us dispose for all time of Senator Greenwood’s extravagant proposition that this is a natural right of any Australian citizen which has been adhered to by all Australian governments. [More…]
Srecko Rover, a naturalised Australian, would appear to have had all of the rights of Mr Ivan Pavlovic, but for reasons which it never saw fit to publicise the McMahon Government refused him an Australian passport. [More…]
As honourable senators will know, the Government has been most concerned with the effects of natural disasters in this country. [More…]
There has been a number of important initiatives, including the setting up of the Natural Disasters Organisation and the high level coordination of the defence forces in these areas. [More…]
But as a natural courtesy to you I seek leave to continue my remarks because we want to say more about this report and about the Commission at a later date. [More…]
Mr Khemlani has not been able to do more than present documents which are documents which have been passed legitimately between himself and Ministers of the Crown in respect of the Government’s overall objectives of obtaining funds so that we may purchase equity in the natural resources of our country. [More…]
I point out to you, Mr Deputy President, that a considerable number of references have been made to me over the last 10 minutes and it seemed to me to be most natural that I should rise immediately. [More…]
That whereas the natural environment of Fraser Island is so outstanding that it should be identified as pan of the world natural heritage, and whereas the Island should be conserved for the enjoyment of this and future generations, your petitioners humbly pray that the members, in Parliament assembled, will take the most urgent steps to ensure: [More…]
That the Australian Government uses its constitutional authority to assist the Queensland Government and any other properly constituted body to develop and conserve the recreational, educational and scientific potentials of the natural environment of Fraser Island for the long term benefit of the people of Australia. [More…]
As I indicated in the Parliament, it is Government policy to allow greater use of the Defence Force in natural disasters. [More…]
Consideration is therefore being given to amending current legislation to allow greater use of reserves for natural disasters and civil emergencies. [More…]
However, the actual requirement to utilise reserve units will naturally be dependent on the adequacy of the other means available. [More…]
I ask the Minister whether he will make investigations into this matter to see what action can be taken to ensure that these skulls of Aboriginal people are returned to their natural burial grounds and are not displayed for the amusement of people. [More…]
There is abundant evidence in all the reports- the Jackson Committee report, the Industries Assistance Commission reports and the AIDA comments- which have been consistently before governments over the last seven or eight years to indicate that there has been a natural decline in private sector activity in Australia. [More…]
The DPRK Foreign Minister said that it was natural that there should be ‘serious differences’ between us. [More…]
If, in fact, the development of our natural resources can be expedited by a greater degree of consultation with the States, I would think that course ought to be followed. [More…]
That whereas the natural environment of Fraser Island is so outstanding that it should be identified as part of the World Natural Heritage, and whereas the Island should be conserved for the enjoyment of this and future generations, [More…]
that the Australian Government uses its constitutional authority to assist the Queensland Government and any other properly constituted body to develop and conserve the recreational, educational and scientific potentials of the natural environment of Fraser Island for the long term benefit of the people of Australia. [More…]
I can understand the honourable senator’s natural anxiety neurosis on these matters because he has little otherwise to cling to. [More…]
On 9 February the Prime Minister stated that departments and authorities were expected to reach their revised staff ceilings by processes of natural wastage, such as retirements and resignations. [More…]
This is evident if one looks at the prospects of economic stability to be obtained from the natural resources in Australia, many of which are contained in the soils of the Northern Territory. [More…]
The chances of success in the production of natural gas, oil and minerals are excellent. [More…]
McArthur River and copper and gold at Tennant Creek and other areas, place the Northern Territory in an extremely enviable position at the top of the natural resources ladder. [More…]
Let us take natural gas for a start. [More…]
Admittedly we are not in the throes of a world war as we were then, but with anxiety increasing in the East Timor area, which is but a short hop across the water, it is only natural that a feeling of apprehension is evident in the minds of those who are most vulnerable, that is, the people of the north. [More…]
Perhaps some natural distrust arises from the fact that a government department should be involving itself in advising businesses about anything, and I guess that is well understood by the business community. [More…]
I pause only to draw the picture of the island State of Tasmania which pays almost every penalty for federation such as having to pay high tariffs because we protect the industries of Melbourne and Sydney with everything we buy and having to have every industry which uses its natural resources and its labour resources - [More…]
That time was around Christmas, when because of their own natural attitudes and habits people were contributing to the inflationary spiral. [More…]
We in this country have been sitting on reserves in our north-west shelf amounting to trillions of cubic feet of natural gas. [More…]
Western Australia would like that natural gas. [More…]
An export demand exists for natural gas. [More…]
In South Australia we have vast resources of natural gas. [More…]
However, I should explain to the honourable senator that questions on flood relief and financial assistance arising from natural disasters might be appropriately addressed to the Leader of the Government in the Senate or to the Minister representing the Treasurer. [More…]
The Labor Government as one of its initiatives during its 3 years in office set out to fund historical museums to try to retain some of the past history of this country which could be lost for all time due to natural causes and the neglect of mankind. [More…]
One is entitled, therefore, to raise very sharply whether there is any relationship, when Australia is regarded as a treasure house in terms of its mineral resources, natural gas and all the other resources that we have in this country. [More…]
It is not outside the realms of possibility that there are people who were concerned about the development of the democratic tendencies within Australia and about the feelings that existed within our country for Australians to run their own affairs and for Australians to own the great natural resources in respect of which many people such as Sir Philip Baxter, have already expressed very strong views. [More…]
One therefore is entitled to look a little more closely at the events which cut off in one swoop the attempts that were being made by a decent Australian Government to try to maintain Australian equity in our natural resources. [More…]
This approach was based on the adoption of a 10-year conversion period so that individual sectors might plan their own conversion programs in such a way as to minimise any conversion costs by taking maximum advantage of natural obsolesence. [More…]
The agriculture and the livestock have done much to enhance the natural beauty of the island, and in many fields Tasmania’s agriculture has led Australia. [More…]
Such an expansion would be wonderful for Tasmania in the utilisation of human, natural and existing transport and business resources. [More…]
Our natural resources of many kinds would be the envy of many people from overseas. [More…]
If we really want to make people second class citizens we can do no better than to deny them what the majority of the people of Australia not only take for granted but also look on as their natural right. [More…]
Honourable senators can understand the kinds of things that happen to our roads and bridges during these times of natural disasters. [More…]
At this stage it is apparent that a reduction of this size cannot be expected to come from natural wastage alone particularly as there are virtually no other job opportunities in the Woomera area. [More…]
It was a just and natural irritation which had been building up in me while Senator Douglas McClelland was speaking. [More…]
It is quite natural that he should want to do so. [More…]
It is, of course, natural that the Opposition should be so unhappy that it cannot get a breach in the walls of the education program and cannot cry ‘misery me’ for cuts which, in the whole of the Government’s economic policies, have been due to the disaster of 3 years of Labor government. [More…]
It is this: in modern countries, opportunities for all citizens- the opportunity for a complete education, opportunity for dignity in retirement, opportunity for proper medical treatment, opportunity to share in the nation’s wealth and resources, opportunity for decent housing, the opportunity for civilised conditions in our cities and towns, opportunity to preserve and promote the natural beauty of the land- can be provided only if governmentsthe community itself acting through its elected representativeswill provide them. [More…]
Having regard to the recent disastrous floods which have covered large areas of both Queensland and New South Wales, will the Natural Disasters Organisation now assume responsibility for planning preventive measures to minimise future dislocation of communities in affected areas and damage to property and livestock? [More…]
The Natural Disasters Organisation has been operating in these areas. [More…]
Generally, the scope of natural disaster activity and the type of action which can be taken to minimise damage and to ensure that compensation is available are currently under consideration by the Government. [More…]
She spoke of the need to widen the employment opportunities of migrant women by developing their natural skills by, amongst other things, assisting them with language problems. [More…]
Firstly, it was a natural development that the two should come together, so that there might be more effective utilisation of the resources available. [More…]
The Department of the Capital Territory and the National Capital Development Commission have been working conjointly on proposals for the establishment of a chain of nature parks and reserves which would incorporate the natural areas around Canberra’s urban growth. [More…]
It has natural resources, an educated population and it can pursue all these goals. [More…]
The poor in our neighbouring countries looking for help from a wealthy Australia, especially when they are stricken by famine, flood and other natural disasters, will be able to say: ‘The people who have something to give us have decided to prune it down’. [More…]
J. D. Anthony, rapidly becoming known around the mineral market places of the world as uranium Doug, has apparently used his powers of persuasion to sell most of our coal and most of our natural gas. [More…]
Based on preliminary estimates of production quality of Gippsland crude, which includes liquids (other than LPG and ethane) produced in association with natural gas, the formula might result in a quality differential some what higher than for Moonie, but the actual quality and therefore differential can only be determined after production testing. [More…]
In fact, it seems that most, if not all, existing refineries will require expansion to meet the growth of the lightproductmarket.Astheyexpand,theywillalsoadjust their plant to take advantage of the greater use and higher quality of indigenous crude and the alteration in the balance of products required by the market because of the introduction of natural gas. [More…]
Firstly, there are what I shall term natural factors, the birth and death rates. [More…]
About 35 per cent of that growth was from immigration and 65 per cent from natural increase. [More…]
Therefore, Australia’s projected population in the year 2000 should be in the order of 17.5 million, based on both immigration and natural trends. [More…]
However, the greatest relief will be experienced in the major cities, since they have absorbed more than their share of natural increase and most of the post-war immigrants. [More…]
The large company which exploits the natural resources of say Western Australia, Queensland and Tasmania is likely to have its head office located in a large building in Sydney or Melbourne. [More…]
That whereas the natural environment of Fraser Island is so outstanding that it should be identified as part of the World Natural Heritage, and whereas the Island should be conserved for the enjoyment of this and future generations. [More…]
that the Australian Government uses its constitutional authority to assist the Queensland Government and any other properly constituted body to develop and conserve the recreational, educational and scientific potentials of the natural environment of Fraser Island for the long term benefit of the people of Australia.

At this stage it is apparent that a reduction of this size cannot be expected to come from natural wastage alone. [More…]
Not to disturb natural millable timber without the prior approval of the Director and the Conservator of Forests. [More…]
It is natural that their leaders should want to come together to improve their lot. [More…]
We the members of the National Congress of the Aboriginal people and the Torres Strait Islanders, assembled at Canberra, Australia this 10th day of March 1 976, do hereby, as the democratically elected representatives of our people, solemnly and unanimously resolve that we claim for our people the following inalienable rights:- the right to natural justice, the right to self determination as a separate and distinct people, with our own laws and customs, languages culture and heritage, living in our ancient home-land and with the right to a full voice in and influence on our own affairs, the right to be free from the racial oppression and discrimination imposed upon us by the uninvited European people who have invaded our country and imposed their own laws and way of life upon us, the right to preserve in perpetuity for our people the surviving tribal lands reserves and sacred sites in all Australian states and territories, the right to fair and just compensation to our scattered tribes, our detribalised and urban people, for the lands seized from our forefathers, and for the inhuman and violent treatment of our people. [More…]
We the members of the National Congress of the Aboriginal people and the Torres Strait Islanders, assembled at Canberra, Australia this 10th day of March 1976, do hereby, as the democratically elected representatives of our people, solemnly and unanimously resolve that we claim for our people the following inalienable rights: the right to natural justice, the right to self determination as a separate and distinct people, with our own laws and customs, languages culture and heritage, living in our ancient home-land and with the right to a full voice in and influence on our own affairs, the right to be free from the racial oppression and discrimination imposed upon us by the uninvited European people who have invaded our country and imposed their own laws and way of life upon us, the right to preserve in perpetuity for our people the surviving tribal lands reserves and sacred sites in all Australian states and territories, the right to fair and just compensation to our scattered tribes, our detribalised and urban people, for the lands seized from our forefathers, and for the inhuman and violent treatment of our people. [More…]
Of course, it is natural in any parliament that the extravagances of temperament can lead individuals to make claims which sometimes they later regret and which one can write down at times as being simply a personal expression that does not convey the will of the party to which the speaker belongs. [More…]
Let me relieve the honourable senator’s natural anxiety early by replying to her penultimate question. [More…]
It must be doubtful whether there would be acceptable and feasible means whereby an Australian government could seek to increase fertility even if it were the community view that our natural population growth rate was too low. [More…]
The agreed policy was that Australia’s population should increase by an average of 2 per cent per annum, approximately 1 per cent resulting from natural increase and the balance from immigration. [More…]
There are groups which see our standard of living increasing by upgrading the skills of our workforce and developing our natural resources without the assistance of further immigration or even population growth. [More…]
We even have our own natural disaster in Western Australia in the Premier, Sir Charles Court. [More…]
In addition, detailed information originally compiled by the State Emergency Services has been supplied through the Natural Disasters Organisation. [More…]
That whereas the natural environment of Fraser Island is so outstanding that it should be identified as part of the World Natural Heritage, and whereas the Island should be conserved for the enjoyment of this and future generations, [More…]
That the Australian Government uses its constitutional authority to assist the Queensland Government and any other properly constituted body to develop and conserve the recreational, educational and scientific potentials of the natural environment of Fraser Island for the long term benefit of the people of Australia. [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…]
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…]
It will promote mutual visits by selected persons, research and comparative studies in the social institutions of the 2 countries, the social and natural sciences, industrial and creative arts and the humanities. [More…]
The reason why they will not eventuate is that it is not in the natural order of things, if I may use an expression which probably was more current in medieval times than now, that Australians as a people should find the Japanese culture particularly fascinating and should find the study of the Japanese language particularly rewarding. [More…]
It is with that sort of base that over the years which have interceded since the Second World War we have seen fit, for obvious and natural reasons, to become trading partners. [More…]
It has fantastic opportunities, I believe, in the area of natural gas which must be of great importance to the development of the Japanese nation. [More…]
I refer particularly to natural gas, the dry hydrocarbons of which Indonesia has an abundance. [More…]
In case some of the members opposite want now to present themselves as latter day trendies, as latter day greenies, and they value this for its mystical qualities, I point out that among other things the payment of a superphosphate bounty has encouraged the destruction of vast areas of natural forest and natural bush much of which in my own State has subsequently been turned into saline wastelands which are polluting the major water supplies in the hills. [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…]
If tests were to be applied based on the quality of the soil, based on the cadmium concentrates, based on the proximity of the soil on which the superphosphate was to be spread to the catchment areas of town water supplies, or if some regard were to be given to the effect of superphosphate on natural eco-systems which ought to be preserved, these would be standards which would have some relevance. [More…]
I believe that in looking at the legislation we should not consider it solely as a subsidy measure, lt should be looked upon also as a means of protecting our most vital natural resource. [More…]
That important natural resource is the soil fertility of this nation. [More…]
There a growing interest and concern in all sections of Australian society for the conservation of the environment, natural and man-made. [More…]
The Government has stated that departments and authorities should reach their revised ceiling levels by processes of natural wastage, such as retirements and resignations. [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 is a natural consequence of the increasing responsibility in the public sector of our country. [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…]
There is a growing interest and concern in all sections of Australian society for the conservation of the environment, natural and man made. [More…]
So the natural inclination of the student numbers to rise now that assistance is being given has not been matched by the same per capita assistance this year. [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…]
I refer to the recent report of the Committee of Inquiry on Museums and National Collections which recommended measures to preserve Australia’s cultural and historical materials, both as a means of preserving our natural heritage and of protecting some hundreds of millions of dollars worth of materials in Australia’s major collections, including material valued at over $100m in the National War Memorial. [More…]
It is only natural that local government authorities are unable to gain all their revenue through the imposition of rates on their citizens. [More…]
It is only natural that there should be one taxing authority which will even out this burden so that taxpayers generally foot some of the bill for the requirements of local government. [More…]
The Finniss River and East Branch have not been returned to their former states although the process of natural regeneration has begun. [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…]
There is a growing interest and concern in all sections of Australian society for the conservation of the environment, natural and man-made. [More…]
The question refers also to the advocacy by General Stretton of the Natural Disasters Organisation for better cooperation between the Bureau of Meteorology and the Natural Disasters Organisation. [More…]
Natural Disasters Organisation is one which I cannot answer accurately for the honourable senator. [More…]
I know that there is direct contact between the Bureau and the headquarters of the Natural Disasters Organisation. [More…]
I have no doubt that all the information available to the Bureau is telexed directly to the Natural Disasters Organisation. [More…]
The selection of areas for consideration as national parks and reserves’, the assessment of the extent to which existing parks and reserves include representative examples of the major plant communities, wildlife habitats, ecosystems and landscapes; the assessment of long term changes in flora and fauna; and the ecological background for other and more detailed studies of natural biophysical resources. [More…]
Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage [More…]
Parties to the Convention, which will come into force after twenty countries have ratified it, are obliged to preserve areas of objects of our cultural and natural heritage. [More…]
Australia will be obliged to preserve natural features consisting of physical and biological formations which are of outstanding universal value from the aesthetic or scientific viewpoint, and geological and physiographical formations and natural sites of similar value from the point of view of science, conservation or natural beauty. [More…]
Nevertheless this matter is important, just as it was important to analyse the effect of radiation, whether natural or from bomb explosions, upon the people of the world. [More…]
My concern arises because such a situation affects the right to medical care of the people who live in the Territory, who have already had enough to put up with from natural disasters in the last year or two. [More…]
While I agree with some of the things it does, I do not agree with all of them, and that is natural in human life. [More…]
On11 December 1975 the Premier of Western Australia wrote to the Prime Minister seeking Commonwealth support under the present natural disaster assistance arrangements for the provision of a range of measures for relief and restoration purposes following the severe damage caused to Port Hedland by Cyclone Joan on 8 December. [More…]
This amount relates to the State’s base expenditure amount which, under present natural disaster relief arrangements, is to be paid by the State out of its own resources on agreed relief and restoration measures, with expenditures beyond that for these purposes being borne by the Commonwealth in any one financial year. [More…]
In reply to the Premier’s requests the Prime Minister has agreed that the Commonwealth will support, subject to established natural disaster relief arrangements with the State, expenditures by Western Australia in relation to the costs of: [More…]
Does he also recall that the Institute was established to promote, by encouragement and co-ordination of research and other appropriate means, activities directed towards the protection of the family as the natural and fundamental group in society? [More…]
-No honourable senator has been more interested than has Senator Jessop in the possibility of using our natural resources for producing energy. [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…]
In addition it would encompass the whole spectrum of academic disciplines and would not be confined to the natural sciences. [More…]
That is quite natural because here is something of great moment and of great practical interest. [More…]
That is natural. [More…]
Most likely, natural wastage through resignations and retirements will be sufficient to achieve the ceiling cuts. [More…]
I refer to the decision that, in the case of custody of children, the Act was valid only to the extent that it applied to proceedings between the parties to a marriage for the custody of the natural or adopted children of both of them. [More…]
The expression child of a marriage has been limited to the natural or adopted children of both parties to the marriage, although the existing, wider meaning has been retained for the purposes of section 63- which prevents a divorce becoming absolute unless the court is satisfied as to the welfare of children of the marriage. [More…]
With its known natural resources guaranteeing it a secure economic base, allied with the strength, resourcefulness and initiative of its people and under the guiding hand of the Territory’s own fully elected legislature, the future of the Territory must surely be bright. [More…]
But things are improving and rather interestingly the high price of oil is forcing synthetic manufacturers to raise their prices, thus helping the natural fibres. [More…]
Later, after the natural father has disappeared, we could find that the husband leaves the wife and he may not be responsible for the maintenance of the children. [More…]
What is the Government’s policy on exports of liquefied natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas and how does this policy differ, if at all, from the previous Labor Government “s policy. [More…]
It is this Government’s policy to encourage exploration for and development of more gas reserves by allowing the limited export of liquefied natural gas. [More…]
While the Labor Government continued to supply to Japan, and our other major trading partners, whatever liquefied petroleum gas we could reasonably export, it was committed to the view that all natural gas produced from the North West Shelf would be purchased at the wellhead by the Pipeline Authority and any exports of LNG would thus become its responsibility. [More…]
I agree that this is natural and understandable. [More…]
Would foreign aid be far more beneficial if small solar energy stations or packs were built to enable small communities to conserve fuel and other natural resources; if so, will the Government initiate the research required for the development and production of such solar energy power units by immediately providing funds. [More…]
crude oil and natural gas liquids, and the unit used is the American barrel. [More…]
1 ) What is (a) the total known and (b) the total inferred, reserves of natural gas in Australia. [More…]
1 ) As at 3 1 March 1976 the total known reserves of sales natural gas in Australia were estimated at 815 billion cubic metres. [More…]
(The ‘sales’ natural gas is defined as that remaining after the removal from the ‘raw’ gas of most of natural gas liquids (NGL) and non-hydrocarbon gases). [More…]
The total inferred raw gas reserves in Australia have recently been suggested by the Bureau of Mineral Resources to be between 1700 and 2500 billion cubic metres (reported in a paper entitled ‘Australia’s Natural Gas Reserves and Future Natural Gas Potential’ by L. E. Kurylowicz et al at the 47th ANZAAS Congress in Hobart, Tasmania, May, 1976. [More…]
My reason for speaking on the adjournment debate tonight is to raise the serious problems which face people living in the electorates of Macquarie and Calare in New South Wales because of this Government’s decision concerning growth centres and decentralisation and because of the long delay in construction of the lateral gas pipelines to bring natural gas to these areas as part of the national pipeline grid. [More…]
The issue of natural gas laterals is also directly linked to that of decentralisation and development. [More…]
I refer, firstly, to the matter of natural gas. [More…]
We all know that natural gas is a clean form of fuel. [More…]
It is economical and it is preferable to most other forms of fuel for these reasons: Industry in the areas of Lithgow and Bathurst-Orange, including decentralised industries, are eagerly awaiting natural gas supplies to fulfil their fuel and energy requests. [More…]
Natural gas means job opportunities and security. [More…]
That now seems a remote possibility and unless the Government rethinks its position the people of Lithgow and Bathurst-Orange will not have natural gas this decade. [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…]
I am happy to inform the Senate that all the reports which I have read or heard in the media suggesting a 50 per cent cutback in migrant education are based on a complete but natural misunderstanding of the Budget papers. [More…]
My question is addressed to the Minister for Industry and Commerce and refers to the concern expressed last week by Senator Sibraa in relation to the failure to construct laterals from the natural gas pipeline to Lithgow, Orange and Bathurst in New South Wales. [More…]
Did not the Labor Government’s involvement in the Pipeline Authority delay the whole natural gas supply project by over 12 months and greatly escalate the cost? [More…]
Moreover there was to be a uniform rate for natural gas throughout the system. [More…]
Mr Connor, however, allowed the laterals to be constructed at a suitable time, which in real measure abandoned the chances of natural gas being supplied to the aforementioned country centres. [More…]
-The Minister for Science will recall that recently I asked him whether or not in his opinion sufficient weather and other information was available to the Natural Disasters Organisation to enable it to perform its duties properly. [More…]
Will he look again to ascertain whether the Natural Disasters Organisation has the best equipment possible to enable it to perform its national duties? [More…]
-When Senator Bishop first raised this question it referred to information flowing from the Bureau of Meteorology to the Natural Disasters Organisation. [More…]
I shall look into the matter to see whether any channels of communication should be available between any organisation under the Department of Science and the Natural Disasters Organisation, and I shall advise the honourable senator. [More…]
Proserpine has a very productive sugar industry and the flood mitigation works should enable the industry to exploit more fully the natural advantages of the region. [More…]
The widespread use of broadcasting translator stations will also be necessary in respect of frequency modulation services as they are developed in order to fill in gaps in coverage caused by natural and manmade obstructions, for example, hills, tall buildings and so on. [More…]
It is of no use everybody being terribly pious and talking about the role of Senate committees, about the need to have a Senate committee as a watchdog of the people’s rights and liberties- as the Regulations and Ordinances Committee is often referred to- with the necessity to have parliamentary intervention against the always natural desire of the Executive to bypass the normal, standard procedures of Parliament. [More…]
-It would be a natural rhetorical question also to ask the honourable senator how he relates his statement today that he knew that page 7 of Budget Paper No. [More…]
The Government has sought to rationalise its interblending of human, capital and natural resources in such a way as to serve the interests of the economy and the welfare of the people generally. [More…]
I recall drawing to the attention of Senator Cavanagh, who, in the Senate was then representing the Minister for Transport, the fact that the Broken Hill Pty Co. Ltd was interested in building tankers for the transport of natural gas. [More…]
It means that the Natural Disasters Organisation cannot get any information on any earth movements for several days. [More…]
But what can be expected from a State government which has its own natural disaster in the Premier, Sir Charles Court, who has already increased charges for public utilities. [More…]
There is the provision of drought relief for affected areas under the natural disaster assistance arrangement with the [More…]
Natural wastagethat delightful term which has been inventedmeans that anyone at all can go from within a department. [More…]
Hence there is a need for the Government again to give incentives to an industry which can make such a contribution in looking for natural resources in Australia and in turn create so much revenue for this country and a position of independence in this important resource. [More…]
The Government removed the restriction on the sale of natural gas abroad, thus prejudicing Australia’s future supplies. [More…]
Every effort has to be made, however, to work in greater co-operation in matters such as machinery sharing, experimentation, better extension services, concentration on improving quality, and the best use of natural resources, climates and conditions. [More…]
Because of its natural resources and geographical location, Australia is fundamentally a trading nation. [More…]
Finally, strict social control over the environment, to enable us to cope with the exploding problems of urban life and to plan for the responsible use of our natural resources. [More…]
I said during the adjournment debate recently that the natural gas laterals in connection with Bathurst-Orange and Lithgow are in danger. [More…]
In these circumstances, with Australian jobs in the motor vehicle industry disappearing- but I emphasis above all the loss of work in the basic industry of steel making in which we used to produce the best and the cheapest in the world because of the natural advantages of having an abundance of coal and iron ore resources in Australiaand the loss of jobs in other basic industries, do honourable senators opposite still maintain that we should spend more? [More…]
-A11 who have visited St Helens would agree with the honourable senator about its natural attractions. [More…]
First, in relation to the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act, the Bill places the statutory powers conferred by the Act in the hands of the Minister for Primary Industry and the Secretary to his Department, rather than in that Minister and the Minister having responsibility for external Territories, as in the past.

While I certainly have no quarrel with our immigration program I believe that in these days when we are nearing zero growth and when our population is nothing more than static, the natural Australian family must be encouraged. [More…]
Hand in hand with the development of our natural resources and with the healthy growth rate of our population we have a responsibility to Australians of the future to provide an adequate defence system. [More…]
It is natural, in correcting this situation, that we should ensure that the Aboriginal people get value for their money and that the money that has been allocated by the Government gets to the Aboriginal people. [More…]
Perhaps an additional point worth emphasising is that, if the Inquiry were to recommend mining at Ranger, we would consider that action should be deferred until the area was examined with regard to its suitability for acceptance as part of the World Heritage under the Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. [More…]
They have been deprived of their natural way of living. [More…]
A natural swamp of some ecological importance runs parallel to the road. [More…]
A critical complication is caused by sewerage seeping to the natural water contained in the swamp, posing a continual health risk to the community, particularly to adventurous children. [More…]
Honourable senators will recall that whilst the Government might have felt a bit miffed- that is a natural human reaction- there has not been, nor could there have been, any disciplinary action taken against those colleagues either by the parliamentary Party or by their Party organisations. [More…]
Indeed this action is probably a combination of natural politeness, and their attitude to someone in authority. [More…]
The Government promised to limit the export of liquified natural gas. [More…]
It has since removed the restriction on the sale of natural gas overseas, thus selling out our national resources, or, as the saying goes, giving them away. [More…]
It is natural that employees should have come together to better their lot and to improve their pay and working conditions. [More…]
As such the civilian manpower costs shown do not include amounts for civilian manpower associated with Defence Science and Technology and the Natural Disasters Organisation. [More…]
These amounts are included under the categories for ‘Defence Science and Technology Establishments’ and ‘Natural Disasters, Civil Defence and Other’. [More…]
On 24 August Senator Bishop asked a question without notice concerning the Natural Disasters Organisation and the Bureau of Mineral Resources. [More…]
Warnings of possible major natural disasters caused by meteorological conditions are provided to the NDO. [More…]
It is natural, therefore, that the Victorian State Government has intervened with regard to Victoria. [More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Primary Industry whether he is aware of the threat to much of Australia’s natural eucalypt forests, particularly in Victoria, Western Australia and Tasmania, caused by the fungal disease phytophthora cinnamomi and the disastrous effect it could have on the export woodchip industry, the paper manufacturing industry and our national forest heritage. [More…]
It was natural that someone like myself and the Government would be trying to keep whatever shipbuilding activity we could within Australia. [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…]
In moments of some anger in this place it is only natural to have strong debate. [More…]
Under the Labor Government’s administration the IAC was obliged to have regard to the desire of the Government- a Labor Government was in power when this legislation was pursued in Parliament in 1973- in pursuing the general objectives of national economic and social policy and urban and regional development, to improve and promote the well-being of the people of Australia, with full employment, stability in the general level of prices, viability in external economic relations, conservation of the natural environment and rising living standards. [More…]
It is natural that we will still be seeing downturns in figures in July which are the result of previous actions. [More…]
Has Australia ratified the international agreement to monitor the incidence of heavy metals occurring in natural waters? [More…]
To me it was the natural thing to move into a political ideology, where you endeavour to strengthen the individual personality and responsibility and call upon individuals to act on their own initiative. [More…]
Whether the resources be labour, capital or natural resources, the employment of resources within the rural sector is rapidly declining because of the disincentive approach of the Labor Government towards the rural sector. [More…]
I think one of the problems I encountered on Christmas Island- it was a natural difficulty which the people had- was that I was the fifth Minister to arrive in just over 3 years who said: ‘Yes, the resettlement program is about to commence’. [More…]
I think there was a natural feeling abroad in the community that people flew from Australia, said kind and soothing words, but nothing happened. [More…]
I was a practitioner in local government and I suppose it is only natural that I should display some interest in its welfare and well-being. [More…]
This coastal area is anticipated to become a natural growth centre of Australia with rapid increases of people. [More…]
We also believe the natural streams in the lease areas have a large influence on the capacities of the underground water supplies. [More…]
The underground aquifers could follow a similar path to East End as that of the natural streams. [More…]
In the absence of a precise topographic survey and in ignorance of the actual wastage rate and the extension of the limestone below the floor of the present quarry, there is a natural reluctance to estimate total reserves. [More…]
Despite all the allegations that Labor had done nothing for agriculture and the assertions that the position of agriculture would change dramatically once the natural rulers of this country were back in their proper place, we find in fact that there is a net payment of $25m to revenue in the estimates for this year from the agricultural sector. [More…]
We could raise the young turtles up to the age of IS months, when we had to let them loose in the natural sea in the fenced off area where they would feed upon the seaweed which had been cultivated. [More…]
That whereas the natural environment of Fraser Island is so outstanding that it should be identified as part of the World Natural Heritage, and whereas the Island should be conserved for the enjoyment of this and future generations. [More…]
that the Australian Government uses its constitutional authority to assist the Queensland Government and any other properly constituted body to develop and conserve the recreational, educational and scientific potentials of the natural environment of Fraser Island for the long term benefit of the people of Australia. [More…]
He was the Minister responsible for natural disasters. [More…]
The Minister for Science will recall that recently I asked him whether or not in his opinion sufficient weather and other information was available to the Natural Disasters Organisation to enable it to perform its duties properly. [More…]
Will he look again to ascertain whether the Natural Disasters Organisation has the best equipment possible to enable it to perform is national duties? [More…]
On 24 August Senator Bishop asked a question without notice concerning the Natural Disasters Organisation and the Bureau of Mineral Resources. [More…]
Has there been any instance where the head of the Natural Disasters Organisation has stated that communications with the Minister’s Department are satisfactory or that they need to be improved? [More…]

Natural misunderstanding arose because people looked at a line entry in the Budget and thought they saw that an expenditure of some $20m last year on migrant education had been reduced to $ 10m this year. [More…]
It may be a valuable guide to any future situation arising from such a natural disaster as occurred in Darwin. [More…]
I refer the honourable senator to a submission made by the CSIRO to the Senate Standing Committee on Natural Resources which contains a great deal of information relating to the work that the CSIRO is doing in this field. [More…]
When the Committee adjourned last night I had raised a matter about a question which I put to the Minister for Science (Senator Webster) on 24 August this year and an earlier question about general relationships and communications between his Department and the Natural Disasters Organisation. [More…]
Will he look again to ascertain whether the Natural Disasters Organisation has the best equipment possible to enable it to perform its national duties? [More…]
You will recall your question without notice on 24 August, and my answers both then and on15 September, relating to the Natural Disasters Organisation. [More…]
Senator Bishop raised a question in relation to weather information being made available to the Natural Disasters Organisation and another question concerning the Bureau of Mineral Resources. [More…]
I can affirm- this was verified by Mr Killen ‘s office as late as yesterdaythat the Natural Disasters Organisation has available to it not only sufficient weather information but also sufficient other information to enable it to perform its duties properly. [More…]
It is natural and convenient for people to hop in their motor cars and go anywhere they want to go but they should not expect the taxpayer to provide parking areas and to provide for sufficient development of the road systems. [More…]
The extent, location and design of the highway network will be such as to minimise energy consumption, provide a high level-of-service for off-peak freight and private car usage, and protect the natural and social environment. [More…]
The aim of decentralisation, if it is to be truly achieved, is to establish areas to which people want to go, spontaneously, and to which, because of the environmental circumstances and the natural attributes of the area, people have a natural desire to go. [More…]
The decision of the federal executive has been attacked upon the ground that there was a failure to conform to the principles of natural justice - [More…]
The complaint was that there was a failure to conform to the principles of natural justice- [More…]
I find that the union resorted to conduct which was designed to ensure that the claimant had every opportunity to take advantage of the rules of natural justice. [More…]
In those circumstances, I can find no ground whatever for reaching a conclusion that there was any departure by this Union in this case from conformity to the principles of natural justice. [More…]
Chief Justice Spicer, Justice Smithers and Justice Evatt heard the case and found there was no denial of natural justice. [More…]
I think that is basically a denial of natural justice. [More…]
Senator Jessop has drawn attention to the natural concern about the symphony orchestras. [More…]
Equally, the Government has made it clear that it accepts a role and responsibility for the conservation of our National Estate, whether it be of the natural environment or of the built environment. [More…]
It was to be expected and it was natural that the States would object to the Bills. [More…]
Growth occurs in the first place, one would hope, by the natural situation. [More…]
Although production from known petroleum resources is expected to begin to decline from about 1981, this will be a gradual process, and indigenous crude oil will still be making a useful contribution to Australia’s energy requirements in the year 2000, while natural gas will be a major energy source well beyond that date. [More…]
Present proved and probable reserves of natural gas in fields declared commercial, together with theoretically recoverable reserves in fields which are either geologically proved or are considered uneconomic under present conditions, or are awaiting further appraisal, are estimated to be adequate for domestic consumption and export until the end of the century.

In speaking to these measures I think it is natural that those of us who are involved should refer to the areas with which we have had some connection or some particular interest. [More…]
It was felt by some of us that because of its lack of autonomy, because of its distance from the main campus, because of the natural tendency, about which I heard Senator Martin speak in this place on other occasions, of some people in education to indulge in empire building- a tendency that is not confined to education, a tendency that I believe is probably worse in medicine and even occurs in Parliament - [More…]
I am simply saying that, although there would be a natural escalation in costs, it seems odd that this project should now cost 3 times the original amount. [More…]
If any commitment of the natural environment which would form part of the National Estate and appear on the register in accordance with the terms of the Act is in danger of destruction, despoliation or is in any way adversely affected, the Government must take immediate and urgent steps, on the advice of the Commission, to preserve or maintain that component. [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…]
I ask: Is either of the Ministers aware that the Iranian Government recently cancelled a US$5.6 billion project to export liquefied gas to the United States and Europe, the American company named being the El Paso Natural Gas Company? [More…]
If these reports are true, will the Government deem the entire Alligator River system off limits to uranium extraction and regard the area as being suitable for acceptance as part of the world heritage under the Convention for the Protection of World Culture and Natural Heritage? [More…]
Some time ago I put a question on the notice paper directed to the Minister representing the Minister for Natural Resources. [More…]
About this time the natural conditions of the Murray-Darling areawhich includes their tributaries the Ovens and Goulburn, the Lachlan and Murrumbidgee, the Macquarie and Gwydir, and the Bulloo-Paroo-Warrego systems- began to shape his observations. [More…]
Others found their haven along the east coast in the natural swamp refuges, many of which are now threatened by land reclamation and real-estate development. [More…]
We in this Parliament are charged with the government of a country which is particularly subject to a variety of natural disasters. [More…]
On the general question of staff ceilings the Department of Construction is achieving its specified ceiling targets by natural wastage. [More…]
As natural wastage occurs efforts are made to redeploy existing personnel to overcome difficult situations. [More…]
It has not dismissed staff although its staff numbers, by natural wastage, have declined. [More…]
The removal of the duty would naturally increase the possibility of new projects and help them get off the ground. [More…]
Coal is a natural resource and something should come back to the people of Australia. [More…]
What measures, if any, have been taken to prevent a similar thing from happening in any future natural disaster. [More…]
I am informed that the Bureau of Meteorology holds records which indicate that the Natural Disasters Organisation was informed of the situation. [More…]
2 ) Following the cyclone, investigations on a Departmental level were initiated to see if certain allegations of deficiencies in procedures existed and what steps should be taken to ensure they do not occur in any future natural disaster. [More…]
The Natural Disaster Plan currently adopted by the authorities in the Northern Territory provides for full notification of all key personnel in time for action to be taken to mitigate the possible effects of a disaster. [More…]
In view of the limited quantity of natural caviar available and the increaing world demand for it, will the Minister investigate the viability of a similar substitute commodity being produced in Australia for local and overseas markets from our abundance of milk, with the aim of further assisting our dairy industry? [More…]
In view of the limited quantity of natural caviar available and the increasing world demand for it, will the Minister investigate the viability of a similar substitute commodity being produced in Australia for local and overseas markets from our abundance of milk, with the aim of further assisting our dairy industry? [More…]
-I understand the very natural interest of all Tasmanian senators in this second major reform- the south-bound equalisation. [More…]
I say here and now that I believe that royalties are a natural thing which should flow to the people of Australia; but when governments impose royalties they should take into consideration the profitability or otherwise of the mines concerned so that royalties do not have a detrimental effect, as this coal export levy did. [More…]
The Nitrogenous Fertilizer Subsidy Act 1966 authorised subsidy payments on the basis of the nitrogen content in natural sodium nitrate, and in manufactured nitrogenous substances produced and sold in Australia as fertiliser. [More…]
where moisture is provided by natural rainfall rather than irrigation. [More…]
They are determined that everything, even a desert in central Australia that is producing nothing, should remain in its natural state. [More…]
Perhaps an additional point worth emphasising is that, if the Inquiry were to recommend mining at Ranger, we would consider that action should be deferred until the area was examined with regard to its suitability for acceptance as part of the World Heritage under the Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. [More…]
Those dose levels can be compared with the natural background radiation level of about .1 rems per annum in many parts of the world. [More…]
Those facts escape our notice when we deal with natural radiation because there is no emotive sense of urgency about them. [More…]
But let us consider the less emotionally alarming biological effects of radiation from natural sources. [More…]
Everyone in the Senate would know that there are 2 types of radiation to which we are subjected in our natural surroundings. [More…]
Two studies have been conducted relating to natural radiation. [More…]
Judged on a statistical basis, it was shown that the incidence of these factors was not dependent upon background radiation, This is a natural example of people being exposed to radiation. [More…]
As far as I am concerned, the mining and processing of uranium are of far less consequence than the natural radiation to which we are exposed from day to day, even in Canberra. [More…]
Of course the more civilised we get the more energy we require and the faster we use up our natural resources. [More…]
Uranium is a natural element that is found in many coal mines and there is nothing we can do about it. [More…]
Most of it is natural. [More…]
We do not see any mass exodus of people from the high natural radiation areas to the low natural radiation areas. [More…]
This means that Darwin, for example, already enjoys a natural daylight saving in that its true local time is about %-hour behind Standard Time. [More…]
That Aboriginal lands include total rights to all natural resources, and that present mining and prospecting be suspended until negotiations are held with Aborigines. [More…]
New capital expenditures on facilities for the transport of minerals, including oil and natural gas, that are now deductible over 20 years will, at the option of the taxpayer, be deductible over either 10 or 20 years. [More…]
The area is of significant scenic value as an integral part of the Walter Burley Griffin Canberra plan, a plan which has been adopted by Canberra’s citizens and which embodies the concept of a garden city; the natural bushland of the foothills being a vital element of that concept. [More…]
902 he indicated that there were only 20 years’ reserves of U308-they will expire in about 1995-37 years’ of crude oil and 38 years’ of natural gas. [More…]

3 ) Where there are no convenient natural waters on land referred to in sub-section ( 1 ), an Aboriginal is entitled to use bore waters on the land for drinking, cooking, washing or watering horses. [More…]
It provided that Aborigines be entitled to remain on any pastoral lease except within one kilometre of a homestead, to use natural waters and to kill wildlife for food. [More…]
Bore waters may be used where there are no convenient natural waters, but an Aboriginal is not entitled to disregard any reasonable requirements of lessees regarding the use of bore waters. [More…]
It is in terms that a reservation in favour of the Aboriginal inhabitants of the Northern Territory shall be read as a reservation permitting Aborigines to enter on and be on lease land, to use the natural waters and springs on the lease land and to kill upon the lease land and use for food the birds and animals that are natural to the area.

In other areas outside Arnhem Land- good potential areas for uranium and natural gas- h ow long will it be before the 1 8 existing licences are renewed and more are granted? [More…]
In a business of primary production, or other business in which livestock is held as trading stock, the adjustment will be calculated generally by reference to the cost values adopted for income tax purposes so that where a standard cost has been ascribed to natural increase the adjustment will be a proportion of that figure. [More…]
It was therefore decided that the Rural Adjustment Scheme should include a standing facility to enable loans to be made for essential carry-on purposes in times of severe market downturn or similar situationbut excluding circumstances covered by natural disaster arrangements- in those rural industries where the Commonwealth and States agree from time to time that it is necessary. [More…]
The translation of Government strategic broadcasting policy into detailed plans for implementation is a natural extension of the processes of policy formulation. [More…]
In summary the policy provides for cyclists and pedestrians, efficient local bus services, development of an express intertown public transport system, discouraging the use of private cars for commuting, a parking policy to reinforce these provisions, and the development of a road network which provides a good level of service for freight and off peak car usage, and protects the natural and social environment. [More…]
There are two aspects to this matter: contents of warnings issued by the Bureau and disseminated via the media and other channels; material issued by Natural Disasters Orgaisation, State Emergency Services and the Bureau to educate the public with respect to cyclones. [More…]
I would like to assure the honourable senator that the Bureau of Meteorology, in conjunction with the Natural Disasters Organisation and the State Emergency Services, makes continual reassessment of the effectiveness of the warning system. [More…]
These impediments include the immobility of some rural capital, imperfections in the capital market, the limited off-farm occupational opportunities in rural areas and a natural reluctance and often inability for farmers to relocate. [More…]
We are prepared to give legislative support to a concerted effort which, we feel, should be made now to establish the necessary administrative machinery at the national level to cope with the continued need that will exist for rural adjustment measures as a natural consequence of this Government’s ill-conceived economic policies. [More…]
If recycled often enough through FBRs, natural uranium can give up about 70 per cent of its stored energy instead of about 1 per cent as in present thermal reactors. [More…]
One’s natural sympathy goes out to people in that position. [More…]
I suggest to the Minister that last year when he answered a question by me natural wastage was greater than the target set for the year. [More…]
On 30 November Senator Bonner asked me as Minister representing the Minister for National Resources whether I was aware that the Iranian Government had recently cancelled a SUS5.6 billion project to export liquefied gas to the United States and Europe, the American company named being the El Paso Natural Gas Company and if so, whether the feasibility had been explored of further developing our country’s reputed vast reserves of this commodity on a viable basis so as to capture part of the lucrative overseas market in the United States and selected European nations. [More…]
The Acting Minister for National Resources has advised me that he is aware of reports of the cancellation of the 2 billion cubic feet a day LNG project involving export from Iran to El Paso Natural Gas Company of the United States and Distrigaz of Belgium. [More…]
We would be the first to agree that that development is part of the totality of Australia’s development of its natural resources. [More…]
Our second objective, of course, was to ensure that financial resources were available to develop our natural resources throughout the Commonwealth. [More…]
Of course he wants more, and it is natural that there is this conflict. [More…]
We have 66.82 1 million cubic metres of liquid natural gas and 410.1 129 billion cubic metres of gas of which only a maximum of 70 per cent can be recovered. [More…]
Australia has very large reserves of coal and uranium but we are relatively depleted in oil and natural gas. [More…]
They have great natural resources. [More…]
The main advantage is of course that it has natural gas close by on the North West Shelf which can be supplied very cheaply. [More…]
The other area with which the White Paper has failed to deal adequately is the South Pacific, the region in which Australia is strong in natural geographic interests along with New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and Fiji. [More…]
Consequently I suggest that the obvious and natural need for defence in the foreseeable future of this land must lie in a top priority being given to maritime and air strength strike and reconnaissance capacity. [More…]
This will take in vast off-shore sea-bed resources, especially oil and natural gas in the south-east coast between the mainland and Tasmania and also on the North- West Shelf. [More…]
He referred to reducing living standards so that international capital can get its hands on the meagre savings of the Australian people and so that capital intensive industries can develop the remaining natural resources of the world. [More…]
This is on top of the natural disadvantages arising from distance including the problems of freight costs. [More…]
Of course, there is another criterion which should be applied to the question of who should be appointed to senior positions in the Public Service, and that is whether the appointees are people who, as a result of many years of service in the Australian Public Service and many years of residence in this sociological wasteland of Canberra, have assumed a natural conservatism in all their decision making, or whether they are not victims of that process of hardening of the bureaucratic arteries which arises from long term service and long term residence in Canberra. [More…]
That is natural. [More…]
But I observe that a lot of the forecasts about Australia’s glowing and brilliant future in the 1980s will fall to the ground if we do not do something more about finding more oil and natural gas in this country. [More…]
To act as a national forum and educational medium for issues related to the built and natural environment, housing, community life and leisure. [More…]
It brings about a softness of the natural muscle and that is largely preserved. [More…]
Any high school economics student who failed to grasp the significance of being at the end of long transport routes and who failed to grasp the significance of what economists call natural protection and to realise that, other things being equal, import competing industries which are at the end or which provide a market at the end of long transport routes require not more but less protection, would richly deserve to fail. [More…]
We could even speculate again that that second factor might be offset by exports of natural gas from the northwest shelf or by exports of uranium. [More…]
I think that is natural. [More…]
Those honourable senators who can speak in the manner in which so many can will continue to speak that way because it is their natural style. [More…]
As those Parties that she supports have been in government for 4 years out of every 5 years since Federation, it is only natural that there would have been some achievements. [More…]
The entire strategy of the Fraser Government has been directed not at trying to overcome the problems of unemployment in our country but at trying to turn the clock back and trying to improve the lot of a very small number of powerful overseas companies to make it easier for them to exploit and develop our natural resources. [More…]
A number of natural disasters have occurred in Queensland in the last 3 months or 4 months. [More…]
To some extent, these benefits derive from our vast range of natural resources. [More…]
Australia clearly enunciated its goal to achieve through immigration an annual population growth of 1 per cent to supplement natural increase which was also expected to be about 1 per cent. [More…]
Australia’s record in providing a place of refuge to those who are displaced by war, natural catastrophe or civil disruption, has been a notable one. [More…]
Australia’s natural resources are truly superabundant. [More…]
Since that time the valuable natural history collection and other equally important items have been stored in temporary facilities and such exhibitions as could be mounted have been displayed in rented buildings. [More…]
The ASEAN countries have a very natural and understandable fear that unless some other great power maintains interest in the region they could be crushed between the 2 communist giants competing for influence. [More…]
It is natural that if one major power moves into an area, another major power will follow shortly after in order to protect its own interests. [More…]
We had the ludicrous stand of the Deputy Prime Minister (Mr Anthony) on the export of minerals and other natural resources. [More…]
Naturally, the Japanese fear dislocations to their economic activity in any sphere, but particularly in this sphere. [More…]
Of course, there was a natural link between Vietnam and France, because many of the aristocrats in Vietnam had a French education. [More…]
Furthermore, apart from the need of conservation of seal life as an ecological aspect in natural balance, the method of killing is by clubbing the seals, not humanely by shooting; bullets may damage the pelt and clubbing is cheaper. [More…]
That could be a very natural circumstance because these are indigenous people who have lived all their lives very close to Australia’s shores. [More…]
I would have thought that that would have been accepted by any person interested in natural justice. [More…]
Sections 5.6 ‘Sandmining on Fraser Island: Methods of Mining’ and Section 6.3 ‘The Environmental Aspects of Sandmining on Fraser Island: The Natural EnvironmentFlora’ of the Commission’s final report provide a documented reply to this question. [More…]
I think when we are looking at an urgency motion of this nature- indeed, when we are looking at any urgency motion which criticises the performance of the Government- the primary and natural thing to do is to look at the Government’s record. [More…]
A natural transfer process takes place when we help with aggregations of capital and resource to develop countries that are less well developed. [More…]
The young people who have learned to read and write, have learned the basic skills, have learned some English language skill- already having their own natural language skill- have not been able to use those things. [More…]
I can understand the natural desire of all persons connected with conservation to have a more intimate knowledge of procedures as such. [More…]
American policy is based on friendly relations with Jakarta and Indonesia is important because of vital natural resources and its strategic position in Asia. [More…]
4- Convenor, Mr G. Lynch, Former Director, Esso Australia Ltd. Production and utilisation of oil and natural gas in Australia. [More…]
I believe that a Senate inquiry into the East Timor position would be a natural step in the progression of steps which have been taken by the Senate in these other areas. [More…]
From available scientific data produced by recognised authorities like the International Atomic Energy Agency, and the Australian Radiation Laboratory, the concentration of radon in the atmosphere will be increased by uranium production, by about one ten-thousandth of the concentration of radon naturally occurring in the atmosphere, due to its natural release from the earth ‘s surface. [More…]
In the absence of specific legislation governing compensation payments, and having regard to the fact that similar payments have not been made to the victims of other natural disasters, it has been decided that the payments made in respect of the period of special difficulty that immediately followed the cyclone, and the period of adjustment that has subsequently occurred, are not to continue beyond 3 1 March 1977. [More…]
The Commonwealth has already agreed to a request by the Queensland Government that it support, under the natural disaster assistance arrangements, expenditures by the State on certain relief and restoration measures necessitated by the recent flooding in northern coastal areas of the State. [More…]
In view of the fact that Australia produces over 75 per cent of the world’s zircon and that the depressed prices are having a severely adverse effect on the Australian mineral sands industry, what steps will the Government take to maintain the floor price and prevent the fiercely competitive sales practices adopted by the Australian producers which cause Australia’s natural resources to be sold cheaply overseas. [More…]
What we try to do in the White Paper is to say what will be the broad shape of the economy, how its employment characteristics will move, how we will look to maximise the opportunities of the people of Australia, what the best way is to look after those people and to help them to do the best possible job for themselves and their country, what should be our balance of trade position and the balance of local opportunity, how we should best add value to the natural raw materials we find or grow them in the ground, and how to maximise the opportunities for the Australian people. [More…]
If we simply take proposals for a new international economic order they encompass such issues as trade and development of raw materials and primary commodities, tariffs, the international monetary system, financing of development generally, industrialisation, the transfer of technology, the operations of transnational corporations and sovereignty over natural resources. [More…]
Studies of the mass of a building show that a balance can be achieved between the lines of a building while retaining the natural beauty of the site. [More…]
The Commonwealth has agreed, subject to the application of established terms and conditions relating to natural disaster assistance, to a request by the Queensland Premier that it support, in respect of these floods, expenditures on the following measures: relief of personal hardship and distress; restoration of State, local and semi-government assets; concessional loans to eligible primary producers; and concessional loans to small businesses. [More…]
There may be flood, fire, cyclone or any similar natural disaster with which we are so familiar in this country. [More…]
It is not necessarily the case that polling in an election takes place everywhere in Australia on the same day, although naturally as we all know by and large that is the case, and that is what is to be intended to be the provision in this proposal. [More…]
As would be natural on a subject of such interest, honourable senators took the opportunity to roam rather widely on major problems concerning roads, transport in general and local government interests in particular. [More…]
Another figure worth remembering, just to give more weight to this industry, is that in the field of natural disasters the cyclone in Darwin cost the fire and general insurance companies between $180m and $200m. [More…]
4m for Aboriginal advancement programs; $3.4m for the growth centres of AlburyWodonga, Bathurst-Orange and Macarthur; $10m to meet Commonwealth commitments in respect of recent natural disasters including floods in New South Wales and Queensland, bushfires in Victoria and a cyclone in Queensland; $2.6m to cover increased costs of the Tasman Bridge reconstruction and associated assistance for which the Commonwealth is liable under the agreed arrangements; and $15m for the new rural adjustment scheme which took the place of the rural reconstruction, dairy adjustment and beef carry-on finance schemes all of which expired on 31 December 1976. [More…]
They do not have the natural pests and predators to kill them off in this country- as we have in the Senate- and therefore they nourish and spread. [More…]
The only question for the Court will be whether the action is lawful, in the sense that it is within the power conferred on the relevant Minister or official or body, that prescribed procedures have been followed and that general rules of law, such as conformity to the principles of natural justice, have been observed. [More…]
It was natural that the House of Lords should be deprived of its power over money as early as perhaps the middle of the last century and finally in 1911. [More…]
In terms of the future growth of manufacturing industry, Australia’s endowment in capital, labour, skills, natural resources and market opportunities would seem to indicate that the best prospects for manufacturing industry development in Australia in the long term lie in activities which are based on Australia’s natural resources, which are innovative in terms of skill or design, which meet specialised local needs, or which have a high degree of natural protection. [More…]
In the past year we have seen the force of natural disasters and their effects for people with associations with Australia. [More…]
Australian energy needs to some extent for transport, for electricity, for industry and for domestic uses break up into the following figures: Some 50 per cent of our energy requirements come from crude oil, 40 per cent from coal, and the other 10 per cent from natural gas, hydroelectricity and so on. [More…]
We in Australia have been very fortunate with regard to our supplies of natural resources. [More…]
I refer not only to crude oil and natural gas but also to many other minerals. [More…]
The Minister understands that recent CSIRO studies indicate that in areas where game and other natural food is plentiful, native dogs tend to take this food in preference to domestic livestock. [More…]
The Opposition, of course, questioned the natural justice of such an action in taking all benefits from all unemployed school leavers to catch a few who might be cheating on the system. [More…]
Australia, when it comes to natural gas, is in a very fortunate position. [More…]
One could be concerned that it perhaps should have included more discussion on the growth of the natural population. [More…]
The Commonwealth agreed to support, under the natural disaster assistance arrangements, expenditures by the Queensland Government on the following relief and restoration measures arising out of the hailstorm which struck Toowoomba in January 1 976: [More…]
How is this project progressing and when is it likely to be of such a scale that it will reduce Australia’s domestic demand on the country’s precious and limited reserves of oil and natural gas. [More…]
The Government will continue to use its best endeavours to raise the standard of living on the islands so that the people who are natural born Australian citizens- and there is a greater number each year- are considered. [More…]
This turnoff is far less than the natural increase and the district is thought to have a population excess of about 100 000 head. [More…]
Stock values, taxable income and tax are all affected, and that seems the natural way to proceed. [More…]
The review of relativities would be a natural extension of the work now undertaken by the Commission. [More…]
My question is directed to the Minister representing the Minister for Transport and relates to the economics of the proposed natural gas pipeline from the North West Shelf to the eastern seaboard. [More…]
Is the Minister aware also that the United States Federal Power Commission has recommended that a planned pipeline to carry natural gas from Alaska’s north slope be built across Canada and that the Commission’s economic study indicated that the cost per thousand cubic feet delivered to Chicago would be 80c? [More…]
This turn-off is far less than the natural increase, and the district is thought to have a cattle population excess of about 100 000 head. [More…]
So, overall, there is a rapidly increasing cattle population where the natural increase far exceeds the turn-off to the various States. [More…]
If it is a fair comparison and if Australia’s future depends on it being free of brucellosis and tuberculosis by 1984, the fact that the cattle populations of the Northern Territory are out of control for various reasons- the excess of natural increase over turn-off; the fact that the cattle stations in the Northern Territory at present, at least, are not viable economically in many instances; costs are defeating the operator; he is not in a position to control his herds properly; and mustering is allowed to slip by- means that this eradication program must break down. [More…]
This is natural at this time of the year. [More…]
I understand Senator Georges’ natural disappointments of today. [More…]
In view of the continuing poor economic conditions of the Northern Territory pastoral industry, the fact that it is not economic to transport beef, in some circumstances, to market and the fact that because the natural increase of beef numbers is far outstripping annual turnoff, the cattle population has increased by some 680 000 head since 1972, will the Government give consideration to the reintroduction of the freight subsidy for Northern Territory beef? [More…]
He did everything he could to hound her off the Commission because of some remark she made about natural grasses. [More…]
Is the Minister aware of a statement attributed to the Acting General Manager of the Australian Gas Light Co., Mr M. J. Williams, in which he called on the Federal Government to construct a natural gas pipeline from Dampier in Western Australia to the eastern seaboard? [More…]
Completion of the rehousing and reconstruction program awaits the finalising of negotiations between the Queensland State Government and the Commonwealth on natural disaster relief. [More…]
What, if any, consideration has the Government given to the proposal for the establishment of a natural disaster research unit, made by the Member for Hawker, on 6 May 1 976 (vide House of Representatives Hansard, page 2005 ). [More…]
Consideration has been given to issues raised by the proposal made by the Honourable Member for Hawker in the context of the question of a natural disaster insurance scheme. [More…]
The Government recognises that the success of such a scheme- to which the government is committed in principlewill depend, in part, upon the formulation and pursuit of appropriate policies to mitigate the incidence of losses to property arising from natural hazards. [More…]
This is one of the considerations which led to the proposal (outlined in the discussion paper on a proposed natural disaster insurance scheme released on 8 December 1976 by the Minister for Post and Telecommunications and Minister Assisting the Treasurer) that a Mitigation Committee be established to advise on appropriate policies directed at improving natural hazard risks. [More…]
It is envisaged that, as the question of a natural disaster insurance scheme is further considered by the Government examination will be given to the question whether, and if so what, action to facilitate improved co-ordination of research in this area on a continuing basis would be appropriate. [More…]
These have included displaced and stateless persons, those seeking political asylum, defectors, members of oppressed minorities and victims of natural disasters. [More…]
and (2) The Commonwealth has agreed to support, under the natural disaster assistance arrangements, expenditures by the Queensland Government on the following relief and restoration measures arising out of Cyclone Ted: relief of personal hardship and distress emergency repair and protection works restoration of State Government assets restoration of local and semi-government authority assets loans to primary producers road and rail freight concessions to primary producers. [More…]
Because of the nature of the natural disaster expenditure cost sharing arrangements it is impracticable to specify what proportion of total expenditures arising out of a particular disaster are met from State resources and what proportion from Commonwealth resources. [More…]
I believe it is natural that people arriving in this country will find it difficult to find a job in the immediate sense in terms of one week or two weeks but it seems from the statistics that are available that there has been a fall in the period of time that migrants have spent looking for work after their arrival in this country and that, in fact, this trend is continuing despite the present difficult times. [More…]
All sections of the community must work together to harness our abundant natural and human resources, if we are to restore vigour and purpose to our national development. [More…]
They represent, thus, enlightened and considered thought on the importance of the early weeks and months in the parentchid relationship, with particular reference to the role of the father and the importance of natural feeding as long as possible. [More…]
The beneficial effects, both physical and psychological, to mother and infant of natural feeding, have been convincingly established, and the present provisions for paternity leave recognise the positive good a father’s assistance and participation at this stage in his child ‘s development can do. [More…]
In this geographical part of the world we have a natural responsibility to assist the developing nations. [More…]
When we look at the waste releases we find that 7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide are released from a coal powered station, 1 million tonnes from a fuel oil station and 60 billion cubic feet from a natural gas powered station. [More…]
The control rods went in, stopped the nuclear fission and they were able to bring in an outside pump to get water in and stop the heat that was generated by the natural radioactive decay. [More…]
So we have a natural built in moratorium whether we like it or not. [More…]
So it is worth mentioning that the world’s resources are mainly coal 70 per cent, with important contributions from oil 14 per cent and natural gas 12 per cent. [More…]
Our resources of oil and natural gas are much smaller. [More…]
Oil accounts for just over one per cent of our fossil fuel reserves, and natural gas for about Vh per cent. [More…]
The first is that oil and natural gas represent a small proportion of our non-renewable energy resources. [More…]
We depend today almost totally on the non-renewable energy resources, so it is worth mentioning that the world’s resources are mainly coal (70 per cent), with important contributions from oil (14 per cent) and natural gas (12 per cent), while uranium currently makes up less than 5 per cent of the world’s non-renewable energy resources. [More…]
Our resources of oil and natural gas are much smaller; oil accounts for just over I per cent of our fossil-fuel reserves, and natural gas about Vh. [More…]
The first is that oil and natural gas represent a small proportion of our non-renewable energy resources, and so these fuels will rapidly become scarce or expensive (or both). [More…]
In summary, both Australia and the world generally do face an energy crisis during the next 10-30 years as supplies of oil (and, to a lesser extent, natural gas) become scarcer or more expensive or, most probably both scarcer and more expensive. [More…]
Techniques for producing liquid and gaseous fuels from coal, natural gas, and liquid petroleum gas exist. [More…]
In summary, both Australia and the world generally do face an energy crisis during the next 10 to 30 years as supplies of oil and, to a lesser extent, natural gas become scarcer or more expensive, or most probably both. [More…]
Our natural gas will last 170 years. [More…]
The significant thing about him was that his contribution to this country changed not only the policy of the Australian Labor Party but also the policy of Australian governments, because there is no question that since 1972 there has been a much greater awareness on both sides of the Parliament and in the Australian community at large of the tremendous importance of the development of our natural resources. [More…]
He fought for that point of view within the party room and at the last Federal Conference of our party which he attended at Terrigal in New South Wales where he made the important distinction that our natural resources should be developed by the public sector so that the tremendous benefits from such development would flow directly back to the Australian people. [More…]
Is it a fact that because of the inclusion of primary producers’ taxation returns under the stock valuation concession scheme hundreds of tax accountants in rural areas have run into insoluble problems in assessing primary producers’ incomes under the market selling value criteria where flocks or herds comprise animals born on the property, that is, natural increase, and others bought in? [More…]
This decision, taken in a period of economic constraint, is a clear recognition by the Government of the need to ensure that Australia is in a position to benefit from advances in space technology particularly where such benefits lead to better exploitation and management of our natural resources. [More…]
The potential of LANDSAT as a tool to aid the monitoring and managing of natural resources is perhaps greatest in the agricultural, forestry and rangelands areas. [More…]
In this category the major applications of LANDSAT have been associated with coastal processes such as defining inshore currents and upwelling using sediment as a natural tracer. [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…]
For Australia, with its large landmass and sparse population, satellite remote sensing offers an effective tool whereby the nation’s managers could obtain the type of information necessary to develop and conserve the natural resources and environment. [More…]
The Green Paper indicates that Australia is very fortunate in terms of underlying natural resources that might be exploited and the potential for growth in our economy. [More…]
Is it the Government’s intention to continue to make funds available for a freight assistance subsidy on the movement of cattle to abattoirs, rail-heads, markets et cetera, in the Northern Territory in view of the depressed situation in primary industry and the fact that the natural increase in cattle population means that cattle numbers in many areas will be far in excess of the safe cattle carrying capacity of the country. [More…]
It is urgent that the Senate and the House of Representatives in the Parliament assembled, will observe natural justice and proper humanity by inviting only authorised representatives of the present Rhodesian Parliament to Australia, to do what they have been deprived of doing previously, present their case fully and publicly so that this can be examined and tested, without interference, and so that the eventual impact on Australia ‘s own security and defence alliances can be gauged with better accuracy. [More…]
It is natural, I think, for the ship to accommodate helicopters as, indeed, the Thala Dan does. [More…]
At the same time negotiations would be set in train in respect of the long term contracts for the sale of liquefied natural gas- LNG- to overseas markets. [More…]
The second proposal is to amend the petroleum mining provisions of the income tax law to include within the range of allowable capital expenditures of a petroleum mining company the cost of a liquefaction plant for use in processing natural gas. [More…]
-This is the first official indication from the Liberal-National Country Party Government that it supports the concept of large scale natural gas exports. [More…]
What we have said is that an incoming Labor Government will allow exports of natural gas from the North West Shelf sufficient to justify development expenditure but no more than should be allowed in the national interest having regard to Australia’s domestic needs for hydrocarbons. [More…]
Firstly, the infrastructure established by an export market can supplement Western Australia’s vital energy needs with natural gas in the coming decades. [More…]
Whilst we agree with the export of natural gas we are also vitally concerned to ensure that adequate reserves are maintained for Australia’s future domestic requirements. [More…]
We firmly believe that natural gas will provide an energy foundation block for Australia’s industrial development between now and the end of this century. [More…]
Further, with the agreement by the Government for the exporting of natural gas to the various overseas markets, if this gas were to be exported from Sydney, there is a great risk that we would be confining ourselves to one market only and that would be the American market. [More…]
At the present time the Cooper Basin producers cannot meet their contractual obligations to supply gas to the Adelaide and Sydney markets without producing a very large proportion of these natural gas liquids to which I have just referred. [More…]
Ethane, sold as natural gas, commands at present only $2 1 per tonne, but if it were used as a petrochemical feedstock it would obtain a price of more than $100 per tonne. [More…]
Together with Mr Hall as he then was, Senator Hall now, who was leader of the Liberal Opposition in that State, we did our best to persuade the then Labor Government to spend an additional Sl.Sm to provide natural gas to the Spencer Gulf area. [More…]
Many of our trading partners, both developed and less developed, have little in the way of natural resources. [More…]
Naturally, they see resource rich countries like Australia as vital to their own economic future and stability. [More…]
Our action reflects the concern and dedication of this Government to protect Australia’s unique natural heritage, not only for Australians but in the interests of international conservation. [More…]
The area is important in relation to obligations and responsibilites deriving from Australia’s commitment to international agreements especially with regard to migratory birds, wetlands, endangered species and the protection of the world cultural and natural heritage. [More…]
Representations from eminent international conservation bodies such as the World Wildlife Fund and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources have stressed the global significance of the park. [More…]
The second element recommended by the Ranger Inquiry was the development of specific arrangements to protect the natural and historic features of the Alligator Rivers environment, to protect the Aboriginal people who have lived there for centuries and to protect the mine workers and their families who will take up residence there. [More…]
The Ranger Inquiry recommended that the total level of activity in the region should be limited to minimise the impact on both the natural environment and on the lifestyle of the Aboriginal residents. [More…]
The only question for the Court will be whether the action is lawful, in the sense that it is within the power conferred on the relevant Minister or official or body, that prescribed procedures have been followed and that general rules of law, such as conformity to the principles of natural justice, have been observed. [More…]
That the underhanded methods used to bring alleged charges against TTLC Secretary Bob Watling and Peter Imlach, the denial to them of their rights and adequate notice, the breaches of ALP rules which have been perpetrated by the Rules Committee and the tribunal are so fundamentally opposed to natural justice and the good name of the Party as to require the firmest challenge. [More…]
A large proportion of the real profits that we should obtain from the export of natural resources is lost to this country because of the costs involved in shipping. [More…]
It is natural that there should be some protest, and one respects the right to protest. [More…]
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Transport the following question, without notice, on 31 May 1977, relating to the economics of the proposed natural gas pipeline from the North West Shelf to the eastern seaboard: [More…]
Is the Minister aware also that the U.S. Federal Power Commission has recommended that a planned ipeline to carry natural gas from Alaska’s north slope be uilt across Canada and that the Commission’s economic study indicated that the cost per thousand cubic feet delivered to Chicago would be 80c? [More…]
It is urgent that the Senate and the House of Representatives in the Parliament assembled, will observe natural justice and proper humanity by inviting only authorised representatives of the present Rhodesian Parliament to Australia, to do what they have been deprived of doing previously, present their case fully and publicly so that this can be examined and tested, without interference, and so that the eventual impact on Australia’s own security and deference alliances can be gauged with better accuracy. [More…]
I refer to studies undertaken, as reported in the Natural Resources Journal of January 1977, which conclude that the utilisation of Antarctic icebergs as a fresh water source is a technical and economic proposition and is environmentally acceptable. [More…]
The meeting came out of a situation that arose when I was talking to them last year and I was saying- I repeat it here because I think it is worth repeating- that Australian manufacturing ought to be capable of being based upon the adding of value to the natural materials we have and the products and resources of the Australian countryside, whether they are grown, harvested or mined in the ground. [More…]
That does not mean that there are not natural restraints, and very valid natural restraints, on anybody here. [More…]
We know that the size of the Public Service has been decreased by the so-called natural wastage. [More…]
One of the great problems is that the river is a natural stream, but because of the dams, the construction work, the irrigation work, all the things that have happened on the river over the centuries, it has more or less become a drain for artificial purposes and not a natural water course. [More…]
The position they take is quite natural and we should face up to it realistically. [More…]
But even the indigenous politics cannot spoil the natural beauty of the place. [More…]
Of course if we do not have the funds here to retain the expertise which has been so evident in this country, it is only natural that those people will go to a country like America where ample funds are available so that they can expand their knowledge in the development of solar energy. [More…]
Present pricing of natural gas is well below world parity and there is not the profit return expected for risk capital ventures, (e.g. [More…]
Dividends from shares on Australian natural resource companies could be tax free in the hands of the investor or alternatively a dividend tax credit to some major extent to encourage investment. [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…]
The installation of solar heaters would save this electricity often generated by the burning of precious finite reserves of oil and natural gas. [More…]
The past S years have witnessed a dramatic increase in international research investment, especially that concerned with the potential uses of natural energy resources as complementary sources of energy to fossil fuels and nuclear power. [More…]
Dwindling supplies of oil and the transition away from oil in major energy consuming economies will ensure growing markets for the energy resources, surplus to Australia’s forecast needs- steaming and coking coal, liquid and natural gas and uranium. [More…]
-On 13 September 1977 (Hansard, page 737) Senator Keene asked me, as Minister representing the Prime Minister, a question without notice relating specifically to the recent bushfires in the Kilcoy area of Queensland and generally to the type and level of assistance that is provided by the Commonwealth to a State in the event of such a natural disaster. [More…]
The States have significant responsibility for the implementation of natural disaster relief and restoration measures. [More…]
When natural disasters causing damage and destruction occur in a State, the Commonwealth stands ready to join with the State Government concerned on a $ 1 for $ I basis in meeting expenditure on the immediate relief of personal hardship and distress, except where such expenditure is of a very minor nature. [More…]
I suppose it is natural that there are many complaints throughout the whole community. [More…]
In view of concern that has been widely expressed about this organisation and its activities relating to young people and the natural anxiety of parents when Children of God seek recruits in the immediate vicinity of schools, can the Minister say whether any action can be taken to restrict such activities near schools and attempts to have young people join an organisation such as the Children of God? [More…]
There are natural advantages involved in being a worker in industry- a fitter and turner, a boilermaker, a person who is involved in heavy industrial work. [More…]
Of course, the Prime Minister seems to be a natural disturber. [More…]
The cost of 3 uranium mining and milling plants in the Northern Territory and assistance to the Cooper Basin natural gas consortium, in which the Australian Government is now a partner, was included . [More…]
The nation, every State and Territory would benefit from the development of our uranium, our natural gas, our coal- our immense natural resources of energy. [More…]
The Natural Disaster Relief Fund will provide $3,454,500, covering both Mornington Island and Burketown. [More…]
Its President (Mr K. R. James) said that, despite two options for Federal funds under the Natural Disasters Relief Scheme, the SA Government had been incapable of making the right choice. [More…]
SA farmers have not been disadvantaged by the natural disaster funding formula and, in fact, under the formula adopted they now have access to unlimited Commonwealth funds for loans over a seven to 10-year term at 4p.c. [More…]
It is only natural that the Public Service Board should say what it said. [More…]
This Bill deals with a number of matters associated with the new standard rate system of personal income tax, with the Budget proposal to increase the Australian tax of film royalties being paid overseas and with two of the measures announced in the general statement dealing with the North West Shelf natural gas project. [More…]
The Government recently announced its decision to give taxation concessions which would be of benefit to the North West Shelf natural gas project. [More…]
The other measure includes within the range of allowable capital expenditures of a petroleum mining company the cost of a liquefaction plant for use in processing natural gas. [More…]
The River Murray will take the Dartmouth waters and is being used as an irrigation canal rather than a natural river. [More…]
Hydrocarbon liquids associated with ‘wet’ natural gas reserves will also supplement our crude oil reserves. [More…]
In addition to its reserves of liquid hydrocarbons, Australia is fortunate in having large supplies of three alternative energy sources- natural gas, coal and uranium. [More…]
Natural gas is of course a premium fuel which poses less of a pollution problem than most energy sources. [More…]
Both Australia and th world face an energy crisis within the next 10 to 20 years as supplies of oil and then natural gas are depleted. [More…]
Australia is urgently in need of a comprehensive energy policy which aims not only to develop our natural resources optimally but also to encouraging efficient use and greatest conservation. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that, because of delays in the proposed construction of the natural gas spurlines to the New South Wales provincial cities of Lithgow, Bathurst and Orange, the Bathurst City Council may be obliged to spend some $400,000 on up-dating its gas works. [More…]
to supply natural gas to those country cities and towns. [More…]
The main policy initiatives we as a Government have taken in the field of energy policy over the last couple of years have been in the areas of mining taxation incentives, energy pricing, the administration of export controls, foreign investment guidelines, decisions on the development of uranium and natural gas resources, assistance to energy research and development, and the formation of energy consultative and advisory bodies. [More…]
A project where the Commonwealth has been able to provide substantial assistance is the natural resources survey now being undertaken jointly by the Commonwealth and the State of Tasmania in the south-west area of that State. [More…]
It is natural and proper, particularly in commercial practice, that matters which are viewed to be confidential- I dealt with this last night- should have their confidentiality maintained. [More…]
When we add drought, bushfires and other natural hazards such as the waiting period in the case of grain crops, from the sowing of the seed to the harvest of the crop, together with the uncertainty of seasons and overseas markets, to the factors I have mentioned which compel the necessity of long term finance in primary industry, surely it can readily be appreciated by those who want to understand that there is a great need for legislation of this kind. [More…]
In breast cancer the natural history of the disease at 2 years allows for about 2 patients in 20 being alive - [More…]
To the Tories of this place it may seem like par for the course and in the natural order of things that a GovernorGeneral would dismiss an elected Labor government and put them in its place. [More…]
Paris, after all, was a natural choice. [More…]
It is an attempt to offset some natural forces. [More…]
The standard of living of people in Melbourne and Sydney is brought about largely as a result of the exploitation of the natural resources distributed throughout our nation. [More…]
It is at the extremities of the shelf that oil companies are most hopeful of finding if not oil, at least commercial quantities of natural gas. [More…]
Woodside is the multi-national with which BHP is planning to develop the huge natural gas fields on Australia’s North West Shelf. [More…]
In the second half of the twentieth century, there has been a thrust in law making for areas clearly that are beyond the natural jurisdiction of nations- for example, the moon, outer space and the seabed. [More…]
In that regard it is in a fortunate position compared with various other countries both in its own area and in the world generally because of the rich natural resources contained in .its vast open spaces. [More…]
They managed to have Monto rather than Eidsvold, which was just a few miles closer, recognised as their natural centre. [More…]
We have permitted the mining interests to interfere with and even to stop the natural germination process that occurs from the high combustion caused by bush fires. [More…]
True, very true, but because our State governments did not have the foresight to cater adequately for the needs of a growing metropolis it has been found necessary to pump up from our water-table millions of litres or millilitres- I am not terribly sure about the metric system so perhaps I can just say millions of gallons- into our natural catchment system. [More…]
The honourable senator will recall that in 1974 the Australian Ionising Radiation Advisory Council recommended a survey of the dispersion of radioactivity by natural forces in the Maralinga area. [More…]
Its purpose is to monitor seismic disturbances in the earth’s surface in such a way as to aid in distinguishing nuclear explosions from natural phenomena such as earthquakes. [More…]
Mr Toomer ‘s original sin was that, as a public servant, he said in public that our quarantine regulations were sub-standard; that we did not have adequate protection from exotic diseases; that we did not have protection from such diseases as foot-and-mouth disease and bluetongue; that he condemned the fact that he was unable to take unto himself authority to destroy vessels which had landed illegally on the west coast of Western Australia and which he considered could have contained some vermin which we did not need, which could have affected our natural flora and fauna, and which he wanted to prevent. [More…]
The countries represented have a wide variety of human and natural resources with many pressing problems of population and development. [More…]
It is only natural, I suppose, that members of committees react when they appear to be overlooked. [More…]
The Commonwealth has always accepted a contingent commitment in respect of flooding disasters, and this particular program has without any doubt considerably reduced the destructive effects of these recurrent natural hazards. [More…]
It is basic to this country because of all the commercial enterprises in this country, I suppose primary industry is the one with which wc are most richly endowed from a natural resources point of view. [More…]
I refer again also to the fact that primary industry is the greatest natural enterprise that Australians can follow. [More…]
The principal functions of that unit are to improve the laboratory methods used by government and private enterprise in the search for new petroleum and natural gas resources, assess the characteristics of Australian coals, and thus enable them to be used to their maximum advantage. [More…]
Consideration is also certainly justified for segments onprocessing our natural resources or primary production. [More…]
The Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act, which is administered by the Minister for Primary Industry, the Minister for Administrative Services, the Minister for the Capital Territory and the Minister for the Northern Territory, is yet another piece of legislation in this area. [More…]
I am not blaming the Commonwealth outright; I know that of some of the States one could say, ‘Oh ye of little faith’they are so timid about what should be retained in its natural state. [More…]
Naturally, the provision of water will take a great deal of money and planning, but water is a necessity to the area. [More…]
We have the materials, the natural wealth, the expertise and the skills required; it is just a matter of getting people to work to do something with the country’s future and have a bit more faith in what they can do. [More…]
Many do not have in Australia a father or husband, as Senator Button has pointed out, who can adopt the role which is natural in a Timorese community where the father makes decisions about education, the home and other matters. [More…]
It is natural, I think, that the debate on this Bill, which is innocent in itself should have taken the length of time it has taken. [More…]
It is natural that honourable senators in some States, notably [More…]
It would be natural for him to make such a visit. [More…]
The immediate purpose of the visit was to familiarise the Committee with features of the Region, including its topography, ecology, natural drainage, Aboriginal sacred sites, points of scenic interest, and places in the neighbourhood of the projected mines and town sites which could be effected by their operation. [More…]
The visit was arranged in the wet season- I stress that point- so that the Committee could more accurately observe drainage in the Region and put into perspective the siting of projected mining operations with respect to natural water flow. [More…]
This is significant because methanol can be produced from both natural gas and coal. [More…]
It is a myth that Aborigines are natural stockmen, just as it is a myth to say that white men are natural stockmen. [More…]
As so many Australian workers are engaged in the industry and because of a natural concern about the delay that has occurred in the presentation of the final report- over three years have elapsed since the reference was sent to the IAC- can the Minister say whether the Government has received the final report from the IAC or give any indication of when it is likely to be tabled in the Parliament? [More…]
I am aware that the report of the Australian Government Committee of Inquiry into Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Homeopathy and Naturopathy which was tabled in the Commonwealth Parliament last year stated that in July 1975 the New South Wales College of Osteopathy closed and the chiropractic section was absorbed into the Sydney College of Chiropractic; the osteopathy section into the South Pacific College of Natural Therapeutics; and the naturopathic teaching into the International College of Natural Therapeutics. [More…]
-Will the Minister representing the Minister for National Development make available to the Senate for tabling the 104-page report on nuclear energy prepared by the Environment, Energy and Natural Resources Sub-committee of the United States Congress? [More…]
The Australian religious community; the Aboriginal community; a national voluntary environmental organisation; the Northern Territory community; the Australian Council of Trade Unions; a person with experience in energy matters; the Australian uranium industry; a nuclear scientist; a medical practitioner or health physicist; an environmentalist with experience in natural resource development; an economist with experience in natural resource development; an expert in national, and international affairs or law. [More…]
As indicated by the Minister for Environment, Housing and Community Development, provision is being made in the Bill to amend the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act to protect wildlife and natural features in the Stage 2 area. [More…]
There is no ideal standing committee to which this matter could go except the Constitutional and Legal Affairs Committee which does have some natural advantages in that it has a secretariat and members who are used to looking at constitutional matters and examining them. [More…]
He made reference also to the difficulties the industry experiences by reason of the absence of an adequate insurance system against loss if a crop is destroyed by storm, tempest or other act of God; in other words, by natural means. [More…]
Under a normal program under which the State applies to the Commonwealth for assistance in the event of some natural disaster, the Commonwealth imposes a certain base figure on every State before it will commit itself to any assistance. [More…]
With the natural development which has taken place, plus the concentration provided by the extension of the 200-mile economic marine zone, we are looking forward to a very rapidly expanding industry which will grow from what it has been, substantially a cottage industry, into a very large scale big-ships, sophisticated equipment industry, where all of those involved will need a high degree of training and qualification to enable them to operate the type of equipment which will be involved. [More…]
Whilst senators are responsible for matters anywhere in their State, I think they can be forgiven for showing perhaps a little more devotion for the area in which they live than for any other area; that is only natural. [More…]
The Commonwealth agreed to the State’s request under the natural disaster assistance arrangements and is currently supporting expenditures on the following drought relief measures: [More…]
Under the longstanding natural disaster cost-sharing arrangements the Commonwealth meets all expenditures in excess of $2m by Queensland on agreed relief measures in respect of all major disasters in any particular financial year. [More…]
Commonwealth natural disaster assistance to Queensland (and other States) takes the form of grants for measures where the State provides grants, and non-interest bearing loans where the State provides loans. [More…]
Is the Minister aware, for example, that at Edinburgh airfield in South Australia a number of what I believe to be Orion aircraft can still be seen every day standing quite a small distance apart on the tarmac, providing a disturbingly ready target either for natural destroyers, such as storms, or man-made ones? [More…]
Between December 1976 and June 1977 the number of registered regular waterside workers at all ports fell by 1,101 from 11,437 to 10,336 workers as a result of the application of the redundancy arrangements and natural attrition. [More…]
One of the results of a country such as Australia having an extraordinarily rapid population growth, both for natural reasons and from immigration, which then slows down, is a sudden burgeoning for a number of years of academic staff appointments. [More…]
The inability to predict what will happen in two, three or four years time has been sufficiently demonstrated for us not to attempt to predict what will happen in the year 2020- especially when one considers that wars do occur, that natural disasters occur and that great economic dislocation occurs also. [More…]
Such forests are also subject to various pest infestations, to natural disasters and to the sort of root rot problems from which the jarrah forests are suffering in Western Australia. [More…]
Action also is in hand to mount an educational program in collaboration with the Natural Disasters Organisation and the State emergency services to inform the public and all authorities of arrangements made to institute and advise on severe weather watches should natural disaster circumstances similar to those associated with tropical cyclone Alby occur in future anywhere in Australia or its territories. [More…]
The natural habitats contain a wealth of flora and fauna of great potential interest not only to Australians but all mankind. [More…]
Aboriginals, with their long involvement with and concern for the natural environment have a key role to play in park management. [More…]
Under the provisions of Clause 6 of the Bill, a conservation zone will be established over this stage to ensure that the wildlife and natural features of the area are adequately protected and conserved pending its incorporation in the national park. [More…]
The establishment of Kakadu National Park is indicative of this Government’s concern for the natural environment and Aboriginal interests. [More…]
The fact is that the Commonwealth is determined that this great natural resource will be preserved in perpetuity. [More…]
I think he would agree that the main aim of us all, particularly of Senator Wood, coming from Mackay, is to see this great natural resource preserved. [More…]
Division 846 deals with payments to or for the States for natural disasters and restoration. [More…]
Because by comparison only a small amount of cane is grown in New South Wales, I suppose it is only natural that the New South Wales Department of Agriculture has not developed the expertise in cane agronomy that has been developed in Queensland. [More…]
From what I said earlier about the value of the sugar crop to Australia and to a number of people who work in the industry- of course, this relates especially to Queensland-honourable senators would see that it is natural that I would want to see the best done that can be done for the industry. [More…]
That Aboriginal lands include total rights to all natural resources, and that present mining and prospecting be suspended until negotiations are held with Aboriginals. [More…]
The Aborigines are not to be given prior dominion over the land and its natural assets. [More…]
In 1 975 oil supplied some 45 per cent of the world’s energy needs; coal supplied 30 per cent; natural gas supplied 18 per cent; and hydro-electric and geothermal power supplied some 5.7 per cent. [More…]
There is a limited amount of oil and natural gas in the world. [More…]
It has been estimated that at the present rate of consumption, and taking into consideration also present known reserves, oil could be depleted in some 30 years or more, natural gas in a little longer period, and brown coal and black coal could last for about 200 years. [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…]
It is a natural consequence of this legislation that at this very moment in the Northern Territory the Deputy Prime Minister (Mr Anthony), the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs (Mr Viner), a member of the Senate and a member of the House of Representatives are confronting a problem that is pressing now and will grow. [More…]
In their own way, using their own natural ability to foresee events in order to ensure their own survival, they are making an issue of this matter now before it is too late. [More…]
What we must do is process the hexafluoride so that the U-235 which is fissionable material found in its natural state in yellowcake at around .7 per cent or, to be more precise 7202 per cent can be enriched up to 3 per cent, to enable fission to take place. [More…]
As I have said, because of the natural radioactive decay process the amount of U-235 found in the mother material is 0.7202 per cent. [More…]
From one of those pieces of scientific detection which come along every so often and which make interesting reading the French scientists were able to determine that between 1 .7 and 1 .9 billion years ago we had natural reactors. [More…]
We have patted ourselves on the back because of our great introduction into the nuclear fuel cycle, but we had natural reactors, as I have said, between 1.7 and 1.9 billion years ago. [More…]
What is more, the reactors operated in the natural environment for 1 50,000 years. [More…]
The reactors were formed because the right amount of natural U-235 was available at the time. [More…]
Natural reactors were operating here on Mother Earth for 1 50,000 years without any help from the Government side and without any opposition from the other side of the Senate. [More…]
I think we must regard ourselves as being somewhat responsible for providing energy to countries which do not have our natural advantages. [More…]
Therefore, I think we are obligated to allow these Bills to pass as quickly as possible in order that we can pursue the economic advantages overseas and provide other countries without our natural advantages with a resource that is most important to their development. [More…]
I refer to a document entitled ‘Conclusions and Recommendations of Report “Nuclear Power Costs” Environment, Energy and Natural Resources Sub-Committee of Committee on Government Operations, United States Congress’. [More…]
Then an environmentalist with experience in natural resources development will be appointed to the Council. [More…]
Next there will be an economist with experience in natural resources development. [More…]
Two of these, the general extension by two years of the 20 per cent phase of the investment allowance and the inclusion in allowable capital expenditure of the cost of the natural gas liquefaction plant, have already been carried into legislation. [More…]
It is result of natural leaks and people have been experiencing the effects for years. [More…]
As one of the founders of ANZUS and the South East Asia Treaty Organisation, he was fully aware of the need to consolidate Australia’s natural bonds with its neighbours. [More…]
I have seen them in their natural or feral state. [More…]
1 ) Has the Minister seen a report by Professor George Seddon entitled ‘An Open Space System for Canberra’, which states on page 65 with respect to recreation facilities in open space that ‘Special attention should be given to the needs of present and future residents north of the Molonglo because of inequities in the distribution of natural resources for recreation ‘. [More…]
The natural resources referred to by Professor Seddon as being unevenly distributed in the ACT are the resources available for riverside recreation. [More…]
What are the details of the drought and natural disaster relief measures suggested by the Premier of Queensland and approved by the Prime Minister, referred to in the Brisbane Courier Mail, 31 March 1978. [More…]
Following discussions on drought between Commonwealth and State officials in Adelaide last month, the Commonwealth moved quickly to approve support for a number of drought relief measures already instituted by States and which were outside the agreed core measures for assistance under the Commonwealth/State natural disaster arrangements. [More…]
In respect of other natural disasters: these special revisions to allowable freight concessions have also been extended by the Queensland Government, and subsequently been granted Commonwealth support, to those Queensland primary producers affected by northern bushfires in November 1977; for primary producers affected by either the northern bushfires or Cyclone Ted in December 1976, the maximum repayment terms of loans has been extended. [More…]
Relief assistance by the Commonwealth to drought affected States generally is now being reviewed to see whether improvements in natural disaster relief arrangements might be warranted. [More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Post and Telecommunications whether his attention has been drawn to a High Court judgment handed down recently by His Honour Sir Keith Aickin, in which judgment His Honour declared null and void the granting of licences for two commercial radio relay stations in Queensland on the ground that the former Australian Broadcasting Control Board in its hearing had denied natural justice to the parties concerned? [More…]
If any single accumulation of liquid hydrocarbons or natural gas, or if any other mineral deposit beneath the seabed, extends across a boundary line so as to come within the jurisdiction of both countries, and the part of such accumulation or deposit that is situated on one side of the line is recoverable in fluid form wholly or in pan from the other side of the line, the two Governments will seek to reach agreement on the manner in which the accumulation or deposit shall be most effectively exploited and on the equitable sharing of the benefits arising from such exploitation. [More…]
From the large amount of information on the presence of various radioactive isotopes in different parts of the human body, plus some other well known information, it has been found that the mean number of Americans killed by ingesting uranium or its daughters from natural sources is 12 per year. [More…]
I think people ought to start reading books like that to inform themselves on the relative toxic effects emanating from natural sources. [More…]
The refuge, called a range because it is vast and harbors diverse wildlife, has been pegged as the possible depository of from 6 to 20 billion barrels of oil and possibly 1 1 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. [More…]
The anticipated fight over designation of wilderness in the possibly oil-rich Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is perhaps the best example in the Alaska lands legislation of the conflict between the natural value of land and its potential for development. [More…]
The United States Secretary of State went on record as saying that at present the United States appears to be deficient in petroleum and natural gas resources but the last place in which exploration would occur would be these wilderness areas. [More…]
The Board stated that it was ‘anxious to acquire a large tract of country in the northern portion of the Northern Territory whilst it is still available, so that it could be developed as a National Park for the enjoyment of the public and preservation of its natural features. [More…]
We know that it is a natural element required in nuclear explosions. [More…]
That is one of the main themes to have emerged from a 104-page report on nuclear energy which is soon to be released by the Environment, Energy and Natural Resources SubCommittee of Congress. [More…]
The natural habitats contain a wealth or flora and fauna of great potential interest not only to Australians but all mankind . [More…]
The Minister assures us that steps will be taken in the second stage zone to ensure that the wildlife and natural features are protected adequately. [More…]
Yet into an area like this which we have the nerve to call a national park we are bringing an industry that with the amount of material and number of people involved could very easily introduce species that would take over and wipe out the natural, rare, interesting and previously unknown species that exist there. [More…]
That is natural because the issue has been a great one. [More…]
To get it in perspective, in Canberra the millrad level from natural radioactivity in the atmosphere is something like 102 millirads, plus another 2 millirads for all the atom bombs that have been exploded. [More…]
Is it a fact that Australia’s natural grape ripening process encouraged by Australia’s sunny climate is the subject of considerable envy overseas? [More…]
Alongside a reasonable consular concern and natural sense of compassion for those convicted and punished overseas, there must, however, also be a balanced view of the significance of many of these drug offences. [More…]
Many migrants who are naturalised Australians, or in some cases their children who are natural-born Australians, may be regarded by their country of birth, or their parents ‘ birth, still to be citizens of those countries. [More…]
This assistance includes: enquiries relating to the welfare and whereabouts of Australians; repatriation and financial relief of distressed Australians in the form of a repayable loan as already mentioned; welfare visits to persons in gaol, hospital or in an asylum; assistance in natural disasters or emergencies; and making available to Australian citizens who have been arrested a list of local lawyers who may be able to assist them. [More…]
There is in fact something of a natural tendency for those overseas not to seek private assistance, for example the advice of a local lawyer, and to appeal instead for official help. [More…]
Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Amendment Bill 1978 [More…]
The purpose of this Bill is to amend the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act 1968. [More…]
The other amendment is of a machinery nature only, and results from certain amendments which were moved and accepted in the Senate to the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Amendment Bill 1973. [More…]
As to the principal amendment, section 1 5 of the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act 1968 creates certain offences relating to the taking of sedentary organisms from the Australian continental shelf by unlicensed persons or vessels. [More…]

regulating or prohibiting the pollution of soil, air or water in a manner that is, or is likely to be, harmful to people or wildlife in, or to the natural features of, parks and reserves; [More…]
I say that Parliament is bound to rectify the system and show to the country that members of Parliament recognise that we are here- I will not use Pitt ‘s words ‘ to serve the country and not to plunder it’, I will use words of my own- as representatives with an obligation to restrain our natural selfishness when it comes to participating in the general moneys that our taxpayers provide under the compulsion of law that we enact. [More…]
The Opposition did not worry about whether the sub judice rule, parliamentary procedure or ordinary natural justice was involved. [More…]
Our aim is that the National Park shall afford to those who live in it a chance to make a living in a competitive world, and to those who visit it the solace of natural beauty. [More…]
The natural flora and fauna will be available for them to enjoy. [More…]
Of the Corio Bay area of 34 square kilometres, 32 are actually in a natural fish habitat. [More…]
It will take cognisance of the natural environment and seek to use it and keep it in its natural form and yet make it available so that the public can enjoy the beauty of the flora and fauna of that area. [More…]
The hinterland is virtually a natural garden with almost every variety of flora and fauna, and views of ocean and mountains. [More…]
The scenery- natural bush, wildlife, island-studded ocean, fishing and a magnificent beach are all superb- and can only be fully appreciated by inspection. [More…]
I welcome the construction of” the resort in the natural environment of the central coast area of Queensland. [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…]
This is a natural and desirable form of evolution. [More…]
The blacks are being made the victims of a political philosophy disguised as a desire to promote their welfare, and such victimisation will distort their natural development. [More…]
There is a natural change. [More…]
Let us get out of the stratosphere which is Senator Carrick ‘s natural habitat and into the street brawling arena where his leader is more comfortable. [More…]
1 is entitled ‘Payments to or for the States and Local Government Authorities NEC and Natural Disaster Relief. [More…]
It also includes outlays for natural disaster relief, not all of which may be paid to the States. [More…]
Since then I have received a letter from the Townsville and District Natural History and Conservation Society which deals with the Iwasaki resort. [More…]
Additional expenditures for the beef industry and natural disasters are likely to be significant items, but on the other hand substantial shortfalls will occur on the original estimates for health and public debt interest payments which partially offset these additions. [More…]
The traditional flow of store cattle turnoff to other States has been disrupted by movement restrictions and a natural reluctance by traditional purchasers to take cattle from bluetongue control areas. [More…]
A permanent crocodile enclosure encompassing 50 acres has recently been constructed which is capable of holding 700 crocodiles in natural terrain. [More…]
But if the restrictions which had been introduced in the economy to achieve this were imposed for too long, it would be a savage price to pay in terms of unemployment in a country with Australia ‘s rich natural resources. [More…]
However, the definition of ‘parent’ for the purposes of the Scheme is very broad; any person who has accepted financial responsibility for a school-age senior secondary student who is no longer in the care of his natural or adoptive parents may apply for benefits on the student’s behalf. [More…]
Moreover, the previous arrangement had led to some anomalies, including the possibility of payment of full benefits to some students who, whilst no longer supported by natural or adoptive parents, were none the less in the care of quite well to do relatives or friends. [More…]
Our objective of a strengthened and more export oriented manufacturing sector geared to our abundant natural resources depends on the availability of a growing world market, particularly in Asia. [More…]
It is natural that we of Anglo-Saxon stock would look towards Westminister not only because it is part of the old country but also because it is the system which has been adopted by many countries not only those with this sort of ethnic origin. [More…]
Can the Minister confirm that if Public Service or other Commonwealth Government staff levels are to be further affected by such decisions, any cuts will be achieved by the process of what is usually referred to as natural wastage, such as retirement and resignation, and not by retrenchments in the public sector? [More…]
It has been and remains the Government’s basic policy that where there are to be adjustments to staff ceilings those adjustments should be made by normal or natural attrition or wastage. [More…]
I am advised that should it become necessary to examine Budget expenditures along these lines and a reduction in staff numbers is decided upon in the light of circumstances then existing, it would be the Government’s continued approach to seek to achieve the reduction, wherever possible, by natural staff wastage. [More…]
The only occasion on which I have done so was to hear a program called, I think, The Waterside Workers’ Breakfast Show, which was presided over by one Jack the Hat who was a natural cornmedian now, unhappily, deceased. [More…]
The question of uniform standards for organic and natural fertilizers has been considered by the States, and it was recently agreed that a condition for registration by State Fertilizer Boards or other controlling agencies, of special fertilizers with low concentration of conventional plant nutrients, is that adequate efficacy data be submitted prior to acceptance of registration. [More…]
-Senator Button should restrain his natural personal enthusiasm. [More…]
I support the Fisheries Amendment Bill 1978 and the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Amendment Bill 1978 which are under consideration. [More…]
We do not have any of the major natural facilities that go to make good fishing. [More…]
in reply- The Senate is considering a most important Bill, namely, the Fisheries Amendment Bill 1 978 and, with it, the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Amendment Bill 1978. [More…]
Comparatively little damage has occurred there, with the exception of Nauru and Ocean Island, where the mining of rock phosphate has caused serious harm to the natural surroundings. [More…]
It is very good that they should seek new directions but it is bad if their natural urge to do these things is thwarted because, if it is thwarted, those efforts and those natural drives will be turned in bad directions. [More…]
That country is also a small nation, and it has a remarkably small share of natural endowments. [More…]
The resource tax would be implemented to cream off some of the excessive profits of mining companies which are exploiting a natural resource which belongs to Australians- a fact which is recognised even by the Queensland Government in its taxing of mining company arrangements. [More…]
Not only would this absorb the natural increase in the work force- about 1 10,000- but also we could expect to see unemployment reduced by 50,000. [More…]
As a result of living in decentralised areas of small population with easy access to an unsurpassed natural environment we have not been angered by the unjust concentration of sumptuary incomes and wealth in the south-east mainland. [More…]
It is not good enough for the nation merely to tax profitable enterprises, although it ought to do that, especially by a resources levy when great natural energy resources are being exploited for extraordinary profits. [More…]
But in order to ensure that the community is well served by these firms the nation should be taking the further step of participating in the ownership and management of these enterprises, whether they are dealing with our natural resources or those resources which simply flow from our community expenditure on education, research and technology, as with [More…]
This is a natural compliment to the new export incentives scheme afforded by this Budget. [More…]
Since grapes are the Riverland ‘s most important crop, it is natural that growers in the region would be particularly sensitive to developments likely to affect their domestic and export wine trade. [More…]
I think that all honourable senators will know that the spectrum is one of the really valuable and limited natural resources that we have. [More…]
Perhaps as a result of this report being published, perhaps with the natural interest with regard to drug use problems, generally in Australia, extra information has continued to pour in to the Committee since last October relevant to the kinds of problems to which we addressed ourselves- problems related to alcohol, tobacco, analgesics, canabis and general matters of drug use policy. [More…]
Aside from Alaskans themselves, the most vociferous opponents of the 02 bill are oil and mining companies, which complain that vast amounts of natural resources could be permanently Mocked up.’ [More…]
There may also be plenty of natural gas, and mining firms claim they have discovered a $6 billion deposit of copper, lead, zinc and silver extending into the proposed Gates of the Arctic National Wilderness in the western Brooks Range. [More…]
Let me stress that, as Senator Gietzelt will know, the island of Timor is one of the most formidably inhospitable places, particularly in the hill country, with very little natural resources in terms of foodstuffs, and that in ordinary times the people have very poor health generally and very poor nutrition. [More…]
Methanol can be produced from any municipal, industrial or agricultural waste, wood or natural gas. [More…]
Using that basis of a threshold rate of return of 1 5 per cent after company tax, I seek leave to incorporate in Hansard a table prepared by the Finance, Industries, Trade Development Group of the Legislative Research Service which shows the revenue raising potential of a resource tax applied to Gippsland crude oil, natural gas and liquid petroleum gas production. [More…]
Columns 1 to 4, assessable receipts, are based on estimated crude oil and natural gas production figures supplied by industry sources, and on the crude oil pricing policy announced in the 1977-78 Budget. [More…]
It is assumed that all the natural gas is sold at 32c per thousand cubic feet, whilst the parity and non-party prices for crude are assumed to be $ 13 and $2.33 per barrel respectively. [More…]
For some reason the imposition of this particular resources tax was abandoned by the Government on 2 July and the only reason in the absence of any technical Treasury reasons advanced by the Government- that has not been done- is simply that the Government is succumbing to political pressure from those industries which extract Australian natural energy resources. [More…]
In any case, I believe that the Australian people are beginning to see that this Government does not regard our natural energy resources as belonging to the community. [More…]
In law our natural resources do belong to the community, as the mechanism of vesting legal title in the Crown shows. [More…]
The Australian Labor Party strongly believes that these natural energy resources belong to the Australian people. [More…]
Yet we hear from time to time this great plaintive wail from Government supporters that we have to provide hundreds of millions of dollars as incentives otherwise the oil companies and those associated with the exploitation of our natural resources will not come to the party. [More…]
Where has it put down in any statement or in any contribution or conference, least of all to the Parliament, that suggests that this Government is concerned about the misuse of our natural resources? [More…]
If there is oil or natural gas somewhere it does not have to be discovered in 1976, 1977 or 1978. [More…]
This is an inescapable fact of bureaucratic life and, coupled with the very natural inclination of Ministers to get the full political advantage out of the political risks they run, means that legislation introduced into this Parliament will always tend to be biased towards overcentralisation, whatever the political colour of the government- though no doubt this will occur less flagrantly with some than with others. [More…]
I find that, despite my natural sense of optimism, I have become increasingly angry that the foundations of our State’s prosperity are in danger. [More…]
It is an economically viable, natural resource development which will lead to the spending of $900m in capital equipment manufacture and will create, in addition to the employment of 4,500 people in the establishment phase, a set of permanent jobs for 1,500 people. [More…]
Lighter steers which prove positive are only fetching low prices and thus there is a natural inclination to hold them over for another year and then sell them to the works. [More…]
At stake is an interesting and valuable set of near natural ecosystems and the breeding grounds for a multi-million dollar fishing industry. [More…]
The major proportion of ‘development’ will be aimed at enhancing conditions for and the preservation of natural wildlife habitats, development of botanical gardens, provision of open space, and water features. [More…]
The terms of reference of this inquiry into water resources underline a problem that is not shared by other committees: Almost without exception, areas of natural resources come within the purview and /or responsibility of the States. [More…]
Therefore, the natural feelings of compassion that should come from community involvement are stifled. [More…]
My natural sense of selfpreservation leads me to direct that question to the Minister whom I represent in this place. [More…]
My understanding is that research at the University of New South Wales is not directed at breeding the bacteria since that occurs freely in the natural environment. [More…]
Because complete recovery of the metal from waste ore by natural biological leaching can take 20 years or more, the university team headed by Professor [More…]
Ralph is concentrating on determining the optimum physical conditions and the management procedures which could accelerate this natural process. [More…]
For instance, with a prospect of a much reduced supply of oil over the next decade from existing Australian fields, the CSIRO ‘s Minerals Research Laboratories have stepped up their research with emphasis being placed on the way in which oil and gas are generated from rocks and on how oil and gas subsequently migrate into natural rock traps. [More…]
The process involves the initial production, using established technology, of crude methanol from a coal or natural gas feedstock. [More…]
South Australia existed because it had a marginal advantage previously, not because it had some inherent massive advantage such as being close to a market or having huge natural resources like water or minerals. [More…]
South Australia is short of natural resources. [More…]
We know that whilst South Australia is short of natural resources, there are opportunities for development in our State. [More…]
Another potential area for natural resource development in South Australia that is of particular interest- I believe the State Government ought to take this up- is the Roxby Downs area. [More…]
-Has the Minister representing the Minister for National Development seen reports of another natural gas find of some 200,000 cubic metres per day in the Cooper Basin which is regarded as a new field of great potential? [More…]
It is natural that they should seek to bring these people on the aircraft of the carrier of the country which has looked after them, which speaks their appropriate language and which can give them the relevant service. [More…]
The other says that agriculture ‘s fortunes are largely dependent upon natural or contrived supply-demand relationships and the money actually allocated by governments to the agricultural sector has a peripheral influence only. [More…]
Mr Dunstan went on to make some comments about what the Prime Minister had done to the economy of this country, comments which my natural modesty and sensitivity to the delicate sensibilities of Government senators prevent me from repeating in this chamber. [More…]
I suppose that it would be natural if I referred with special interest to my colleagues on both sides of the Senate who come from South Australia. [More…]
Honourable senators will be aware that there is an organisation set up- the Natural Disasters Organisation- and that it does have links, both State and Federal, with both the civil and military forces. [More…]
At a time when liquid and gas fuels are becoming scarce, it is pertinent to ask whether alumina production on the scale envisaged is the best use of a versatile energy resource such as natural gas. [More…]
Third, the ERMP gives a misleading impression of the costs of leaving certain parts of the Darling Range in their natural condition. [More…]
It assumes that natural gas from the North West Shelf will be available to the project after 1987. [More…]
Therefore it is probable that the alumina industry will need to import fuel oil or natural gas. [More…]
I ask the Minister representing the Minister for Post and Telecommunications whether his attention has been drawn to a High Court judgment handed down recently by His Honour Sir Keith Aickin, in which judgment His Honour declared null and void the granting of licences for two commercial radio relay stations in Queensland on the ground that the former Australian Broadcasting Control Board in its hearing had denied natural justice to the parties concerned? [More…]
As the power to distribute wealth is transferred to Australian governments, it is natural that individuals and groups in the community at large will look to those governments to meet more and more of their needs, whether it is reasonable to do so. [More…]
My question is related to the Commonwealth Government ‘s decision not to allow sand mining on Fraser Island but instead to preserve that island’s natural environment. [More…]
where death of a proprietor creates financing difficulties; capital expenditure involving fixed and structural improvements including farm buildings, fencing and pasture improvement; recovery from flood, fire, drought, plague and any other major adversity or to mitigate the effects of future such adversities, including re-establishment of pastures and water conservation, not covered by the provision of any natural disaster recovery scheme; purchase of fishing vessels and facilities, machinery and farm equipment and stock; expansion of existing farm development and fishing projects; refinancing, in appropriate cases of existing debt (particularly short term debt), and/or the rearrangement of existing borrowings in times of special need. [More…]
We believe that when we have a natural resource the tax on that resource ought to remain and the revenue gained from it ought to be distributed among people who own this country and who own those products. [More…]
Does the Minister realise the legal consequences that may arise from Mr Gyngell ‘s present behaviour at the hearings which, according to the Broadcasting and Television Act, are to be conducted according to the rules of fair and natural justice? [More…]
I believe that the honourable senator, who has a natural interest in this matter, will appreciate that this must be left to the Premiers Conference. [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…]
That 10-year gap is immensely important because, in the last 10 years there has been such a rapid development of technology, particularly computer technology that the natural movement towards employment in the service sector that might have taken place is very likely to be aborted by the replacement of employees by technology. [More…]
It is a country with almost no natural resources. [More…]
In fact, as I understand it, there has been a staff reduction through natural wastage and not through dismissals. [More…]
it is a manufactured nitrogenous substance or natural sodium nitrate; [More…]
That is a natural condition of free enterprise which we would encourage. [More…]
Bowen has a natural harbour and is only some 120 miles by road south of Townsville. [More…]
According to the Government, projects must contribute to the development of Australia’s natural resources and the balance of payments, must help to strengthen the structure of industry and must contribute to employment. [More…]
In addition to those problems one could also clearly state that unless the problems are met, properly investigated and understood then the overall standard and acceptance of the Reef as an area of tremendous natural beauty might in some way be diminished. [More…]
It is stated in a document I have before me that in 1974 the University of New England offered diploma courses in natural resources. [More…]
I refer to Professor Chipman ‘s call yesterday for a new national school examination to evaluate the basic skills of children in arithmetic, elementary natural science, English expression and comprehension and clear thinking. [More…]
A further project could involve the liquefying of natural gas in Western Australia. [More…]
This was perfectly natural staff work. [More…]
Natural disaster cost-sharing arrangements do not involve sharing the costs of particular disasters: Their purpose is to provide a basis for sharing all expenditures by a State attributable to major disasters in a financial year. [More…]
-On 21 September 1978 (Hansard, pages 816-817) Senator Walsh asked me, as Minister representing the Treasurer, a question without notice seeking details of the new natural disaster assistance cost-sharing arrangements between the Commonwealth and the States and inquiring whether the new arrangements would apply, in the case of Western Australia, to expenditure arising from damage caused in the previous financial year by Cyclone Alby. [More…]
The new natural disaster cost-sharing arrangements are as follows: [More…]
Here I maintain that the bounds of natural morality, the natural human right to proportionate self-defence, ought not to be exceeded; that is, if the life of the woman who is pregnant is threatened by the continuation of her pregnancy, she is entitled as a matter of natural law to the abortion. [More…]
We are not a natural resource to which a country can turn at times when it needs a greater population and then dismiss and put under wraps when it no longer needs an increase in population. [More…]
Bearing that in mind, I suppose it was natural that those in power at the time developed manufacturing policies designed to substitute Australian made goods for imported goods. [More…]
They have grown unnaturally in one State or in a region of that State. [More…]
We have to face the possibility that some industries may move because of natural pressures in the economy from imported goods and cheaper labour available outside Australia. [More…]
For many years it has been said that our natural resources are being sold out to overseas interests. [More…]
In my opinion and in the opinion of many people the real purpose for not carrying out these surveys is that the Government is trying to cover up, from Australia at large, what countries and companies are investing in Australia and buying our natural resources which, in whole truth, belong to Australian citizens. [More…]
Is it possible for an organisation such as the St John’s Ambulance Service to purchase a four-wheel drive vehicle without having to pay the import duties and tariffs normally associated with a transaction of this nature, bearing in mind, of course, that the vehicle would be a fully equipped ambulance to be used solely to bring aid to those injured in off-road accidents or to render assistance in areas devastated by natural disasters such as bushfires or cyclones similar to Cyclone Alby which brought great havoc to a large area of Western Australia not long ago? [More…]
These principles can be summed up in the following way: the primary aim of disciplinary provisions should be to facilitate efficient administration and public confidence in the integrity of the administration; there should be no unnecessary concern with the private lives of staff members; provisions should be seen as a complement to other management processes of supervision, leadership and staff counselling, with disciplinary action generally being a last resort; the disciplinary process should continue to be essentially administrative rather than judicial, but the principles of natural justice and fairness should be observed. [More…]
However, I would expect that, as in the past, reductions in staff will be achieved through natural wastage, and not by retrenchments. [More…]
Natural Disasters Organization, Department of Defence, ACT [More…]
It has been my experience that generally those Aboriginals who have vehicles themself or drive for a company are good natural mechanics. [More…]
My question is directed to the Leader of the Government in the Senate and relates to the ever-growing concern and alarm of the Australian people about the takeover and rip-off of our natural resources by multinational organisations. [More…]
Is this expected return on investment consistent with the Government’s attempt to curb rising health costs, especially those generated by hospitals, and is it not considered almost unethical and immoral for multinational organisations not only to monopolise our natural resources but also to plan to turn the misfortune of sickness and ill-health into a profit-making investment? [More…]
It is only in comparatively recent decades that the natural quarantine protection afforded by Australia’s geographic location has been eroded. [More…]
The comforting isolation of our island position and the natural barriers of time and distance have become less relevant as transport has become speedier and more flexible, and trade and travel has increased, particularly from areas where many exotic diseases are well established. [More…]
In the end Australia would have been a substantial owner of money and its important natural resources. [More…]
This Government realises that the capital is not available in this country to develop our enormous natural resources. [More…]
I would put forward the view -I cannot believe that the Government would argue against it- that adopting parents need that second provision, the time to establish a relationship with a child, just as much as natural parents do. [More…]
In the mineral field we should be making more use of our natural resources, our abundant energy in the form coal and natural gas, and we should be processing minerals further and further along the road to their final application. [More…]
Instead of trying to manufacture everything in the world, I would like to see this country plan and concentrate its efforts so that we use to the limits those natural advantages we possess. [More…]
The new disciplinary code which is referred to makes various changes to the existing provisions to take account of the principles of natural justice and fairness, which are again always matters which come into consideration in any disciplinary clauses. [More…]
Some of the rights which have been emphasised in this legislation are regarded as rights at natural law and are not necessarily incorporated in legislation of this kind. [More…]
By dictionary definition, a documentary is a film in which natural characters or objects are used for educational or instructional purposes. [More…]
The Committee’s attention was drawn to advertising that sought to exploit the natural credulity of children and encouraged them to pressure their parents for products they saw advertised. [More…]
Later it says that the Environment Energy and Natural Resources Sub-Committee of the United States Congress published its findings on the cost of nuclear power. [More…]
The transfer document noted Georgina Hinze ‘s receipt of 10 shillings and her passing the land to Russell James Hinze “in further consideration of the natural love and affection I have towards my son. [More…]
It would be natural, therefore, whatever may be the quality of others coming forward, that his services, particularly in these difficult times, would be sought. [More…]
The original intention was that the Bill would be debated together with the Fisheries Amendment Bill and the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Bill. [More…]
It would appear natural to endeavour to establish the courts of justice as independent organs which were neither Commonwealth nor State. [More…]
This is a natural feeling that any of us might indulge in. [More…]
I suppose that there are those innocents who would reply that planning is not necessary, that one needs only to leave the economy to the natural forces of the market place and all will be well. [More…]
It was the natural forces in the market place that eventually placed vast areas of Chinese property- virtually all Chinese property- in the hands of two related families, the Chiangs and the Soongs, and created the strains that led to the success of the communist revolution late in 1949. [More…]
It is quite proper and natural under the present system for honourable senators to wish to join the Executive. [More…]
That is quite proper and natural if that is one’s aspiration pyramid. [More…]
I suppose it is a natural consequence of increasing years. [More…]
The boundaries bear no relationship to the natural divisions of the people, to the geography of the country and to tribal or national origins. [More…]
As a result, supplies of both goods and services have declined; human resources are wasted, capital resources are not used and natural resources are left under-developed. [More…]
Because the Redcliff project would use indigenous natural resources as feedstock, would it not be to the advantage of Australia for the Government to encourage the setting up of a chemical plant at Redcliff in South Australia? [More…]
It certainly has the natural potential to be that. [More…]
In view of increasing development of natural resources in the marine environment of particular interest to Australia, such as proposals to explore for oil on the Great Barrier Reef, and also because of the growing risk of pollution of Australian coastal waters, the following matter be referred to the Senate Standing Committee on Science and the Environment: Australian marine science, including the development of a marine science program for Australia, in the tropical, temperate and sub-Antarctica waters and the coordination of research efforts between the various agencies involved in these areas of marine science, fisheries development and oceanography’. [More…]
I would say that we in Queensland are getting a little bit tired of the gratuitous advice we seem to be getting from the south about the management of our natural resources. [More…]
Strange as it may seem, it is estimated that 600,000 metric tons of oil seep to the surface throughout the world every year through natural seepage from the oilfields underneath. [More…]
The Red Sea and the Gulf of Suez are also noted for their corals, yet they contain a number of natural oil seeps. [More…]
It must be said that the Santa Barbara area also has natural oil seepage all the time. [More…]
Obviously if there is no oil there the clear indications are that there are other types of hydrocarbons available on the Reef, to wit natural gas. [More…]
It is not an academic argument; it is a case of whether we are to save the Barrier Reef or whether we are to rape it in the same way as we do many of our other natural assets. [More…]
Senator Collard ‘s arguments would be understandable if he were in the old brigade, in his 70s or 80s, because then he would not be too worried about what was done to our natural assets. [More…]
In 1975 when the Government came into power its members made all sorts of pious utterings about how they would protect our natural wonders, including the Great Barrier Reef, but they have progressively moved away from that stance ever since. [More…]
At least we have some values in respect of the natural wonders of the world. [More…]
The reef is one of the natural wonders. [More…]
I preface my question to the Leader of the Government in the Senate by stating that despite commitments by Mr Lynch in March 1976 and Mr Eric Robinson in December 1976 that the Government would introduce a natural disaster insurance scheme, the Government has now, three years later, decided to scrap the proposal. [More…]
I ask: Is this not a sellout of property holders in potential natural disaster areas? [More…]
The departments which will be co-ordinating the arrangements include my own Department of Science and the Environment and the Department of Defence which also incorporates the Natural Disasters Organisation. [More…]
There is, and no doubt there always will be, a basic conflict of interest between say, the United States purchasers of Australian resources, whether they be alumina, zinc, uranium or natural gas, and the Australian business enterprise exporting the commodity. [More…]
That country’s chief exports are dependent not upon natural resource-type products but rather upon manufactured products which are gauged against and sold against a very competitive market in the rest of the world. [More…]
to promote, by the encouragement and co-ordination of research and other appropriate means, the identification of, and development of understanding of, the factors affecting marital and family stability in Australia, with the object of promoting the protection of the family as the natural and fundamental group unit in society; and [More…]
To be more specific, there is a reference to the protection of the family as the natural and fundamental group unit in society. [More…]
I think that there are some reasons for querying whether we are stuck with the notion of the nuclear family as the most natural and desirable group unit. [More…]
Natural disasters were also mentioned, in which case the Commonwealth and State governments publicly agreed on the policy guidelines that were to be followed in administering loans. [More…]
But the immediate reaction, of course, as I assume the Premier intended, was a wave of sympathy for the Beggs family: How could anyone be so cruel, it was implicitly argued, as to criticise the providing of a bit of financial assistance by way of cheap money to a poor Western District family that had been burnt out of house and home by a natural disaster? [More…]
But the view of such a disaster, if relevant- and it ceased to be relevant in this instance as soon as the SEC paid the compensation- would be that it would be wrong to compensate people who lost property in natural disasters if they could insure themselves against such loss. [More…]
On the question of natural disasters- since some people have related this whole question to natural disasters- it should also be put on the record that on 9 June last year, Mr Anthony, presumably in the capacity of Acting Prime Minister, sent a telex to the South Australian Minister of Agriculture regarding payments of Commonwealth funds for disaster relief because of the drought that State was suffering last year. [More…]
Funds flow also to people in rural areas through the natural disaster relief arrangements which also were the subject of criticism by Senator Walsh. [More…]
The Rural Finance Commission makes loans solely in accordance with its own judgments and in accordance with guidelines determined by the Commission itself and in the case of natural disasters on guidelines determined by public agreement between governments. [More…]
One such purpose is our old friend, the natural disaster purpose. [More…]
I checked a natural impulse to inform him that I was a member of the Federal Parliament- I thought there would be no easier way of ending up in the watch house. [More…]
Australia has a number of very great natural advantages in terms of climate, beaches and so on which, as the commentators to which I have referred point out, should give us a particular advantage compared with many other countries. [More…]
There seems to be one exception and that relates in a sense to a natural advantage which we have. [More…]
Involvement in the IEA’s long-term cooperation activities concerning energy conservation, including the forthcoming major IEA conservation campaign; the development of alternative energy sources, for example steaming coal and liquefied natural gas, and joint research and development projects; [More…]
The development of the North West Shelf natural gas will facilitate the displacement of fuel oil presently used in large industrial markets in Western Australia. [More…]
I inform the Senate that the essential ingredients of printers’ ink include dyes, pigments and synthetic and natural resins. [More…]
That was natural, perhaps, but not very helpful overall. [More…]
The second deputy secretary is responsible to the Secretary for the Strategic and International Policy Division which includes defence representation abroad, the Force Development and Analysis Division, the Programs and Budgets Division, the Natural Disaster Organisation and the three service chiefs of materiel. [More…]
The whole natural movement of fish on our coastline will be ruined if this project is allowed to continue. [More…]
If we support the principle that those who have the power to advertise can do so with impunity and in fact with the support of the forces that are so influential within our society, this is a natural corollary. [More…]
They are influencing young people, who regard it as proper and natural that they should drink the moment they can drink and that they should smoke the moment they are able to smoke. [More…]
In Australia, the policy is to allow the disease to circulate in the community thereby allowing a natural immunity to develop in a significant proportion of the population. [More…]
That is why the development of natural gas deposits, the proper and controlled exploitation of uranium, trie development of coal, et cetera, are all proceeding with expedition. [More…]
I have commented that, in the generality, in the natural course of things, those who are now teachers, with few exceptions, transferred from school to university or college and then back to school without obviously being able to gain any kind of practical experience of the outside world. [More…]
But there is also now wide acceptance that authorities involved in urban planning and development have a responsibility to preserve important elements of the natural environment not only for their own sake but also as an essential element in the future urban environment for a variety of recreational and educational purposes. [More…]
In that report Professor Seddon noted inequities in the distribution of natural resources for recreation within the ACT and made particular reference to the lack of recreation areas in Belconnen. [More…]
This should ensure there is no undue intrusion of housing development on the natural areas of the creek in this area. [More…]
The Committee is conscious of the lack of natural recreational areas in Belconnen when compared with other parts of Canberra, and its recommendations are intended to assist in overcoming this imbalance. [More…]
Developments arising from the Government’s budgetary action in increasing crude oil price to world parity have given rise to fuel switching including the greater use of natural gas instead of fuel oil, and liquid petroleum gas instead of motor spirit. [More…]
We are far away from our natural allies and far away from what we have regarded in the past as being our normal areas of support. [More…]
It is common knowledge that when the North West Shelf gas field comes on stream the developers intend to export 6.S million tonnes of liquefied natural gas annually. [More…]
It is natural, therefore, that he should ask a question on this subject. [More…]
It is desirable, naturally, that relevant development of petrochemical plants in Australia should be pursued. [More…]
Indeed, if it can be sustained that its location there and its proximity to natural gas supplies are economic, of course that must be a good idea. [More…]
Is the Minister aware that insects which once lived in harmony with eucalyptus in their natural state are now killing them? [More…]
What action does the Minister propose to take to ensure that major changes in the environment are not made without first considering the effect they will have on local species of plants and animals, so that our nation’s natural beauty may be preserved? [More…]
This would be farcical if it were not so blatant a denial of natural justice. [More…]
The only remedy was the courts, either through the uncertain and complex route of the prerogative writs in situations when the Administrator had acted either beyond or in excess of his jurisdiction or in breach of the rules of natural justice, or through specific court remedies created by the particular enabling legislation. [More…]
I do not know how many honourable senators have had the opportunity actually to see large numbers of whales in their natural habitat. [More…]
We have been in a situation in which a valuable natural resource has not only been squandered and destroyed but also in some areas has been brought to the point where it is close to extinction. [More…]
The way in which the people working on that project went about establishing their case, explaining their case, appeared before the independent inquiry, presented their case and persuaded the inquiry of the validity of their case is an exercise in real participatory democracy on the one hand, in that people who are interested and informed can bring recommendations to the Government; and a real outpouring of concern for natural resources, the environment and conservation on the other hand. [More…]
In natural justice, then, we are held to compensation. [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…]
There is a natural community concern about an activity which threatens the extinction of any species, particularly when it is directed against a species as special and intelligent as the whale and there is a fear that the continued existence of these special forms of wildlife are threatened by continued exploitation. [More…]
All honourable senators who have read the report will agree that it is a well reasoned and comprehensive document and it has led to this Government’s total commitment to protect the whale so that present and future generations of Australians can have the opportunity of seeing these wonderful mammals in their natural habitat rather than seeing them merely as exhibits of an extinct species in a museum. [More…]
This is five times the natural background, and is well above the typical exposure of 200 millirems a year that Americans get from all sources. [More…]
Implementation of the land use strategy was recommended to be achieved through the mechanism of a formal plan of management as provided for in the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act on the basis that this provides flexibility, co-ordinated management and consequently efficient use of human and natural resources. [More…]
These include the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, the Agreement between the Government of Australia and the Government of Japan for the Protection of Migratory Birds, Birds in Danger of Extinction and their Environment, the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance Especially as Waterfowl Habitat, and the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. [More…]
Aboriginals, with their long involvement with and concern for the natural environment are seen as having a key role to play in Park management. [More…]
Although the United States is faced with fuel problems, he pointed out that even though they thought natural gas existed in that area it would not be exploited. [More…]
Sir David Brand was a natural leader of men. [More…]
He showed this natural flair for leadership in all of the walks of life in which he engaged. [More…]
Having explained the Government’s intention to have more vehicles currently burning petrol converted to natural gas he said on page 26: [More…]
What is the Government’s policy in respect of the pricing of natural gas? [More…]
As Mr Keating eloquently pointed out in his paper, the Victorian Government is producing base-load electricity from natural gas priced at 20 per cent of opportunity cost and is talking about producing simultaneously synthetic oil from brown coal. [More…]
Mr Keating’s second point was that geologically, there is more prospect in Australia of finding natural gas than oil and that gas is the best raw material for a liquid fuel substitute for petroleum, much cheaper and simpler with present or foreseeable technology than either ethanol from crops or synthetic oil from coal. [More…]
Does it endorse the Victorian Government’s current actions of generating base load electricity from natural gas, which is technically and economically by far the best substitute raw material for liquid fuel, while the same Government talks about producing synthetic oil from brown coal? [More…]
This Government, which controls enormous reserves of brown coal which is suitable for the generation of base load electricity and totally unsuitable for the production of synthetic oil, burns natural gas to produce electricity and talks about turning brown coal into synthetic oil. [More…]
It is fuelled by natural gas. [More…]
We were told also by Mr Newman, through Mr Cotter, how unwise it was for governments to tamper with natural market prices. [More…]
On the next page he was boasting about what a great idea it was to tamper with the natural market price of fuel in inland centres by subsidising the freight costs. [More…]
Senator Walsh mentioned that he thought that natural gas was a better proposition than fuel ethanol, of which honourable senators will know I am something of a sponsor, although I do not believe in any way that it is the answer to all our problems. [More…]
Because the Redcliff project would use indigenous natural resources as feedstock, would it not be to the advantage of Australia for the Government to encourage the setting up of a chemical plant at Redcliff in South Australia? [More…]
That having occurred, it is natural that Senator Tate would ask such a question. [More…]
Having said that, I reassure the Senate that since the Government came to office it has had one view clearly in its mind- that is, that the Great Barrier Reef shall be preserved against any kind of attack by natural or unnatural activities. [More…]
Clearly running through those answers has been an assurance by the Federal Government that it will do everything within its power to see that no harm is done to one of the world ‘s great natural phenomena and resources, the Great Barrier Reef. [More…]
14m is being provided as additional working capital for the Government Printer Trust Account to enable repayments to Consolidated Revenue of operational charges and other balances which have had to be withheld due to operational losses and working capital requirements; $3m will be provided as additional working capital for the Government Aircraft Factory to finance additional stocks of Nomad aircraft; $4.78m is being provided to accelerate the Tarcoola-Alice Springs Railway with a view to achieving completion by November 1980; $!2m is needed to meet the Commonwealth’s contribution towards natural disaster relief and restoration; $ 1 1 .Om is for payment to Medibank Private to assist in building up reserves and to ensure that the fund would continue to operate in the market place without further Commonwealth backing. [More…]
Apparently the Academy of Science is referring to something which is a natural experience for all of us. [More…]
-Has the Minister representing the Minister for National Development noted the remarks of Mr Keating, the shadow Minister for minerals and energy, calling for the raising to import parity of the price of natural gas produced at the Cooper Basin fields in South Australia? [More…]
That one of the great natural wonders of this planet should be the play thing of miserable political attitudes and equally miserable commercial interests is evidence that those responsible must stand condemned, not only in the eyes of the Australian people but in the eyes of the whole world. [More…]
As such, it is of national significance and in the opinion of some, is a potential candidate for world heritage status under the United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s World Cultural and Natural Heritage Convention, to which Australia is a signatory. [More…]
Australia has a particular interest in securing access to the U.S. market for natural gas. [More…]
We were able to impress upon Dr Schlesinger and other senior U.S. officials Australia’s potential as a stable supplier of LNG and have suggested further detailed discussions at official level aimed at enhancing Australia’s opportunity to supply natural gas to the West Coast of the United States. [More…]
Australia has a major role to play in this area and I believe the future oil supply and price situation will strengthen Australia’s ability to win a share of the U.S. market for natural gas. [More…]
Significantly, Mr Anthony says nothing about whether the natural gas which Sir Charles Court at least hopes to sell off to the United States will be accepted by the United States. [More…]
Of course, sales of natural gas to the United States or the future development of the North West Shelf gasfields almost certainly depends on whether sales can be made to the United States. [More…]
At times there have to be departures from the rules of natural justice. [More…]
Commission’s concern that at times there have to be departures from the rules of natural justice. [More…]
But I am just not persuaded as yet by what I have seen of written material or what I have heard from the Attorney or any other spokesman on this, given the suggestions in the royal commission report and given the fact that the royal commissioner was sufficiently concerned to preface these remarks with the statement ‘at times there have to be departures from the rules of natural justice’. [More…]
These are fundamental basic natural justice considerations. [More…]
I feel that with goodwill on both sides and on the basis of the active and deeply respected natural links between Australians and Maltese we can overcome our problems and restore the relationship to its traditional pattern. [More…]
With the passage of the Bill, the Authority will no longer have unlimited power to buy and sell petroleum nor will it be required to ensure: Continuity of supplies of natural gas that is free from impurities; uniform gate-valve delivery prices throughout Australia; the retention and processing in Australia of condensate, petroleum gas and other substances derived from natural gas; and the control of petroleum reserves. [More…]
I think that if it were owned by private enterprise and if it were in direct competition with another private enterprise airline, we would be more likely to have the natural development of a greater degree of competition and, whichever party was in government, it would be more likely to start to review the two airline policy with a view to achieving that which most Australians seem to want, which is a departure from what Australians see as a marked lack of competition. [More…]
I am advised by scientists who have had some experience in this area that the natural discharge of the great rivers of Queensland also has an effect on the Barrier Reef. [More…]
Can the Minister inform the Senate of the present position of the listing of this important national heritage, in view of its special natural and scenic qualities and its importance as a national park to the residents of Brisbane and surrounding areas? [More…]
I therefore ask: Has the United States Public Health Service Advisory Committee on Immunisation Practices recommended the use of measles vaccine in children exposed to natural infection up to 72 hours previously? [More…]
Measles vaccine usually prevents the disease if administered even after prolonged interval following the exposure to natural measles and that no untoward reactions can be expected from the vaccination. [More…]
Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Act 1968-s. 9, s. 5. [More…]
In fact, it is a mining council representing the multinational organisations that have been given franchise to exploit and develop the very rich natural resources in this country. [More…]
Perhaps it is a situation which has arisen out of ignorance on the part of zoo officials as to these animals’ natural habitat. [More…]
I am advised by scientists who have had some experience in this area that the natural discharge of the great rivers of Queensland also has an effect on the Barrier Reef. [More…]
So as a matter of natural tax law one would expect that tax would be paid on amounts which are claimed as tax deductions by mining companies. [More…]
I was seeking information regarding the relationship between the financial benefit to Australia through the proposed export of 6.5 tonnes of liquefied natural gas and the financial burden to Australia through importing a quantity of oil that would have been used for similar energy potential. [More…]
It is probably used to dampen down the natural effervescence of people travelling to Tasmania who are overjoyed at the prospect of arriving in such a beautiful part of Australia. [More…]
As a result, supplies of both goods and services have declined; human resources are wasted, capital resources arc not used and natural resources are left under-developed. [More…]
It is only a matter of honestly facing up to those problems and laying down an energy policy involving the use of fuel alcohol, electric cars, natural gas, the condensate from gas, and perhaps at some stage oil from coal or shale, and we can guarantee into the indefinite future the traffic mobility that we need to keep our society reasonably prosperous in our nation of such great distances. [More…]
The reef is a natural asset of world importance with sporting, fishing and tourist facilities. [More…]
We would be a poor, weak people, would we not, if we could not do that with our natural advantages, if we were to say to ourselves that we have no alternative but to rip out what future generations may need, that we will not even try to do without this oil, that we are prepared to devastate natural resources just because we want it now, like a child wanting a toy. [More…]
The policy of the Australian Conservation Foundation, supported by the Australian Democrats, is that the entire continental shelf waters, from the Queensland coast to the outer extremities of the reef, are an intimately associated natural system. [More…]
I agree that we must take certain steps to ensure that tourism itself does not damage our natural assets. [More…]
Calculations on this basis, with cautious assumptions on local meteorological conditions, indicate that, under natural conditions, resuspended dust will very rarely, if ever, present a plutonium hazard. [More…]
Secondly, it plays upon the fears and possibly the natural concern of many people in Australia regarding refugees generally. [More…]
Is it a fact that agreement was reached between the Wagga Wagga City Council, the Cootamundra Shire Council, the Australian Gas Light Corporation and the National Pipeline Authority for the development of a natural gas pipeline to be constructed to serve the cities of Wagga Wagga, Cootamundra and Young in New South Wales? [More…]
Some of the treaty’s provisions, including arrangements for the sharing of the area’s natural resources, will be the subject of continuing negotiations and cooperation between Australia and Papua New Guinea. [More…]
There are people in this country who do not give a damn about conservation or protecting our natural environment. [More…]
I am quite sure that people reading today’s Hansard, if they bother to read further than the commencement of this debate, would not imagine that the Opposition is so divided within its ranks that it believes that the natural thing in politics is that there must be intrigue behind every statement. [More…]
The only reason for the inclusion of that Department is that any proposal which may directly or indirectly affect Aboriginal relics and which may in any way affect land upon which Aboriginal relics may exist through alteration of present land use in any area of land which has not undergone major alterations from its natural condition has to be considered. [More…]
Mr Wells said any amount of radiation (including natural background levels) would produce cancers and genetic defects in human beings. [More…]
There would be nothing there, except the natural food that could be caught by the Aboriginal people. [More…]
They are restrained from preventing the Aboriginals exercising their legal rights under the Crown Land Ordinance, namely that within 2 kilometres of the homestead they have a right to bc on the land, to use natural water, to take or kill natural animals and vegetation, and to use educational, medical and similar facilities. [More…]
Although wool has a great advantage as a natural fibre for attributes of quality, feel and warmth, in the harsh economic realities of today demand can be sustained only by adequate promotion and this grower plus government support falls far short of the encouragement which is given by the international synthetics industry to its own products. [More…]
This resistance to flame has been improved as a result of the International Wool Secretariat’s scientists’ finding a cheap and flexible means of improving wool ‘s natural flame resistance by adding titonium or zirconium salts to the dye bath. [More…]
Considering the damaging earthquake that occurred at Cadoux in Western Australia over the weekend and recalling the Darwin cyclone and the many cyclones which have occurred in north Queensland over the years, we would like to have had a look at this paper just to see what the Government’s policy is in respect of national disaster insurance, and whether it covers these sorts of natural disasters. [More…]
He wrote home asking who was responsible for sending several wombats to a small base enclosure when they naturally made rapid attempts to dig their burrows. [More…]
Climate and lack of natural surroundings and diet obviously would affect them too. [More…]
One gorilla was caged there in reasonable area and seemed resigned, but of course neither of these would have been imported from Australia and were in their natural climate and environment. [More…]
The Surong lurd Park in Singapore seems well run and very natural but I did not have time to look for any ‘imports’ there so cannot give opinion of that place apart from it being very well set up and usually clean. [More…]
I would sincerely suggest though that all export of Australian fauna be stopped to Malaya, it is most unsuitable in every way for our animals and besides they have such interesting and lovely creature of their own, if they can bc encouraged to provide natural habitat and keep it clean. [More…]
In addition to completing the natural armoury of offences in this area, the inclusion of this particular offence will significantly improve the investigatory powers relating to narcotics offences. [More…]
Staff is kept at the same level until there is some natural decline through transfers, people getting new jobs or resigning from old age. [More…]
the preservation of the park or reserve in its natural condition and the protection of its special features, including objects and sites of biological, historical, palacontological archaeological, geological and geographical interest; [More…]
Indiana Democrat John Brademas saw another reason for the vote, urged along by persuasive conservationist lobbying: ‘There is a feeling of protecting the great natural legacy of Alaska. [More…]
Those who were associated with that day in Australia thought out the title which was used, which I think was very appropriate, and indeed had good media coverage so that people could consider that which we wish to retain- our natural environment. [More…]
Petroleum products and natural gas, burned by residential and industrial consumers at the point of use, remain the real energy workhorses. [More…]
Unfortunately this seems to be the natural environment of this Government. [More…]
The Bill denies the fundamentals of natural justice. [More…]
Surely this must be an abuse of natural justice. [More…]
‘Staff cuts would be obtained by natural wastage’ was the statement. [More…]
A $7,000m oil import Bill inescapably will mean further drastic contraction of Australian manufacturing and rural industry, skyrocketing structural unemployment and accelerating foreign takeover of Australia’s natural resources. [More…]
The surveyors’ field notes were processed by the CSIRO computer in Canberra which produced tape from which, in turn, the Surveyor-General’s data plotter produced natural surface profile plans. [More…]
Natural justice can be denied any member under this clause, and we say that it requires a complete rewrite. [More…]
The principal source of radiation in Australia, as elsewhere, is the natural background radiation of about 100 mrem per year. [More…]
An additional radiation exposure to our population arises from medical use of X-rays and this is by far the greatest contributor to all radiation above natural background. [More…]
In general, in developed countries this increase is equal to about half of the natural background and gives rise to cases of radiation-induced diseases the number of which is very small compared with the natural incidence of the diseases in society. [More…]
One of the sad difficulties is that employers- I suppose it is natural enough- are choosing to employ the mature person rather than the adolescent. [More…]
Fluoride is a natural constituent of surface and underground water. [More…]
It is not only bad for an employee who remains in a work situation unhappily because financial reasons dictate that he should do so but arguably it is also bad for the economy generally in terms of the prevention of natural mobility of labour and natural choice of career and job. [More…]
If the Crown retains ownership, will it reimburse the Aboriginal company for (a) agistment of approximately 3000 head; and (b) for natural increases to the herd at current market rates. [More…]
My attention has been drawn to Mr Bridges’ letter, the thrust of which appears to relate to pricing arrangements for natural gas from the Cooper Basin rather than taxation as such. [More…]
Cooper Basin natural gas for distribution in Sydney is purchased from the producers by The Australian Gas Light Company. [More…]
Until quite recently, the Sydney city gate price of natural gas was higher than any other Australian capital city. [More…]
Is it not a fact that last week the South Australian Government was claiming that there would be a wine tax and a levy on natural gas in the Federal Budget? [More…]
That the natural resources of Australia and in particular the uranium deposits of the Northern Territory should be exploited by companies which have substantial Australian interests so that the benefits accrue to all Australians. [More…]
There cannot be any doubt that what has occurred in Zimbabwe is in many ways the natural consequence of whatever happens when a small minority of people attempt to impose their will on the great mass of the country of which they have become the occupiers. [More…]
It is natural, therefore, that there should be some kind of charge. [More…]
We have vast amounts of natural gas and we have great potential in the area of shale ore, just to mention a few. [More…]
This Government is giving away our natural resources because in some areas- we would be hard put to prove it- it is getting some kick back to run its election campaigns. [More…]
The fact that the Labor Opposition is not interested in natural justice, in ordinary justice, for the individual or for the community as a whole does not invalidate what I am saying. [More…]
I am not criticising him for that because it was a natural misunderstanding, but I think that what was at the basis of his criticism was quite right. [More…]
The real problem in relation to General Business matters on the Notice Paper is that there may be few speakers on the early items but honourable senators quite naturally do not expect later items to come on for debate. [More…]
Because of our geographic situation, natural resources and technological skills, Australia is uniquely placed to capture a significant share of these new and growing Asian markets. [More…]
That is a natural, understandable and proper attitude to adopt. [More…]
It was reported in the Hobart Mercury of 3 April this year that the writ alleged that her pension was cancelled in October, 1977, and that this cancellation was upheld in reviews by Messrs Wraith and Lanigan; that in December 1977 she reapplied for a pension, but again this was refused by Mr Wraith and Mr Lanigan; that the reviews were contrary to the principles of natural justice’; that she was not informed of the grounds for cancellation of the pension; and that she was not given the proper opportunity to advance argument and make submissions about why the pension should not be cancelled and why it should not be refused. [More…]
After criticising the Labor Party for trying to borrow money for productive investments- for controlling our natural resources and for buying back the farm- this Government turns around and puts Australia in hock to the tune of $4,700m. [More…]
This is a natural sequence for a country that is developing and which has an increasing standard of living, because of higher wages. [More…]
Naturally he will pay a little more. [More…]
I find that, despite my natural sense of optimism, I have become increasingly angy that the foundations of our State’s prosperity are in danger. [More…]
For the coming two years only 1.5 per cent of all the investments that are being clearly foreseen throughout Australia will go ahead in South Australia yet South Australia is the State abundantly rich in natural gas, uranium, copper, iron and of every other kind of natural resource. [More…]
It has been a persistent one and I notice that he is embarrassed by a growing amount of money in his pocket, which is natural enough under the trends of the Fraser Government. [More…]
At the beginning of the century the harvesting of our natural forest was indiscriminate. [More…]
In warmer States a good natural regeneration occurs but Tasmania, although it grows splendid timber under natural conditions, has a colder climate and therefore there is a greater risk that land can drop out of production unless seeding is done after burning off. [More…]
Traditionally foresters have relied on the haphazard method of natural regeneration. [More…]
Softwood forests, though necessary, are relatively barren and lifeless in comparison with our native forests which are the natural sanctuaries of fauna and flora. [More…]
It is only natural that a child will be influenced by television. [More…]
It is natural, therefore, that there should be some kind of charge. [More…]
It was unnatural for many years, but it is natural now, according to the Minister. [More…]
Has the Atomic Energy Commission also been advised that at least one of the important buildings at Lucas Heights will not withstand a natural disaster such as an earthquake? [More…]
That the natural resources of Australia and in particular the uranium deposits of the Northern Territory should bc exploited by companies which have substantial Australian interests so that the benefits accrue to all Australians. [More…]
Put simply, the table shows that the estimated number of deaths for the production of 10 gigowatt years of energy would be: Coal, 800 deaths; oil, 700 deaths; wind, 450 deaths; solar or space heating, 95 deaths; uranium 8h deaths; natural gas 2Vi deaths. [More…]
I have pointed out already that burning fossil fuels- coal, oil or natural gas- is raising the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere worldwide and that is potentially the most serious environmental problem facing the world. [More…]
When suspicion is expressed about the honesty of someone, apparently it is natural for Government supporters to think that it concerns a National Country Party member. [More…]
Do both these articles suggest that the Great Barrier Reef is, in fact, not being adequately protected and is being endangered by the improper exploitation of its living natural resources? [More…]
Of course Queensland fisheries legislation applies to living natural resources in the territorial sea adjacent to the mainland and its off-shore islands. [More…]
The Central Office of the Department of Veterans’ Affairs is a member of the Natural Disasters Organisation and, similarly, actively participates in that Organisation’s exercises. [More…]
Nobody here could give ordinary natural justice to individuals. [More…]
These groups have insulted, libelled and ostracized members of the Slovenian community, denying them even the natural social intercourse in their own community. [More…]
That is a natural attribute of Treasuries and Commissioners of Taxation. [More…]
Surely the point is that the natural environment of Australia is not a sectional interest; it is not a sectional viewpoint because it is a common heritage of benefit to the entire community. [More…]
As to the substance of what is being said, it is completely outside all the normal procedures of natural justice and of this Parliament that one should seek to form prejudgments on part of a report and in the knowledge that it is in the hands of a government to take action. [More…]
If it is to be a question of standards, what about the standards of a State Labor government which yesterday quite obviously sought to “give every kind of preference to the Labor Party by giving prior knowledge and advantage of a situation and which did not seek, in terms of natural justice, to put the whole of the report together in one tabled statement. [More…]
Are these the standards of natural justice? [More…]
In the meantime I ask that those who have even a shred of sense of values in terms of natural justice wait till the report is complete, till the State Government has made its recommendations and, if those recommendations involve prosecutions, to leave it to the courts to decide the truth in terms of judgmental values. [More…]
To make those prior judgments is to be in contempt of this Parliament and in contempt of natural justice. [More…]
Will the Minister representing the Minister for Primary Industry give urgent consideration to the protection of the natural breeding grounds of the black marlin when final negotiations take place with the Japanese in respect of long line fishing off the north Queensland coast? [More…]
I do not know whether its aim was to act as a subsidiary to the law of the sea conferences and the codes established by them, but that seems to have died a natural death. [More…]
A marine park differs substantially from a national park which typically protects the natural landscape and allows only limited human use. [More…]
But in the Great Barrier Reef area, we will only have the time up to the next low tide because once large areas of the reef, which virtually are exposed at low tide, are exposed to either oil in its natural form or oil which has been treated with dispersants, we know from what marine biologists have told us over and over again that there will be damage and that it is not possible to get into those areas with anything bigger than a rowing boat and not even that. [More…]
A marine park differs substantially from a national park which typically protects the natural landscape and allows only limited human use. [More…]
The average population growth in Australia between 1950 and 1970 was 1.9 per cent, representing an increase of 1.1 per cent by natural growth and .8 per cent by immigration. [More…]
We wanted to work towards an objective of 1.1 per cent increase or thereabouts from natural growth and immigration combined. [More…]
Your petitioners therefore humbly pray that your honourable House will take no measures concerning the Royal Commission on Human Relationships Report that will further undermine and weaken marriage, child-care or the family which according to the United Nations is ‘the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the state ‘. [More…]
The Government’s decision was reached after detailed examination of the proposal by the Foreign Investment Review Board in terms of the guidelines for foreign participation in new natural resource projects, including uranium. [More…]
It is a real people’s movement which began at the grass roots level and sought to bring about, through the enactment of government legislation, a recognition of the need for us to apply ourselves to conserving our resources and our natural environment. [More…]
It is an area of great natural wealth and beauty. [More…]
It is a gap that was brought up in evidence quite often before the Senate Committee on Natural Resources, as indeed was the whole question of the powers of quarantine officers. [More…]
that a breach of the rules of natural justice occurred in connexion with the making of a decision; [More…]
That the National Capital Development Commission has plans at an advanced stage to auction off for medium density development Fisher Place Park (Section 3 1 ) Ainslie, a unique natural parkland bounded by Hassall, Duffy and Ebden Streets and Herbert Crescent, Ainslie in the Australian Capital Territory, contrary to the wishes of the residents and other Australian citizens. [More…]
That perhaps involves something unconstitutional but certainly something which denies natural justice to the parties because somebody who will be involved in saying whether a decision should be certified has not listened to the arguments put forward by the parties. [More…]
That is a grave denial of natural justice to the parties involved in an industrial dispute. [More…]
Briefly, I indicated at that time that many migrants who are naturalised Australians, or in some cases their children who are natural born Australians, may be regarded by their countries of birth, or of the parents’ birth, still to be citizens of those countries. [More…]
It will be a natural reaction. [More…]
The seventh point I raised related to the matter of natural justice. [More…]
In normal circumstances natural justice requires that he who decides the matter must hear it. [More…]
In this circumstance this particular proposition is against natural justice. [More…]
Might I point out to the Attorney-General that this proposal is the reverse of what is contained in section 30 of the Act which maintains the principle of natural justice insofar as he who decides must also hear. [More…]
That is a fundamental principle of natural justice. [More…]
Natural justice has also been considered and we believe that it is a quite accepted principle in administrative law that to seek advice on policy matters does not infringe the independence of the tribunal. [More…]
Nor does the process of the consultation as outlined detract from the independence of the commissioner and thereby infringe natural justice. [More…]
Its faculties reflect the priorities of the region- education, natural resources, agriculture and social and economic development. [More…]
These migrations are as inevitable and, if I may say so, as unstoppable as a natural disaster. [More…]
The Bill seeks to repeal provisions which give to the Attorney-General the power to deport persons who are not natural born Australians- notwithstanding the fact that they may be naturalised Australians- and who have committed certain offences under the Crimes Act. [More…]
The Bill seeks to assert the principle that ail Australians, irrespective of whether they are natural born or naturalised, have an equality under the law and should be treated equally. [More…]
Every time they are further complicated, some unfortunate person, through no will of his own, gets himself into strife because he is placed in a situation where his natural shame and fear and wish not to be on the dole is compounded by these extra regulations which have the effect of forcing him into absolute poverty and degradation. [More…]
Is the Federal Government prepared to reexamine existing and proposed contracts for the sale of liquefied petroleum gas and liquid natural gas overseas in the light of the changed circumstances of the last 12 months with a view to preserving energy supplies which might be essential to Australia? [More…]
The year saw a continuation of Service involvement in a range of international forums including the Whaling Commission which I have already mentioned, the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, and the Endangered Species Convention. [More…]
He says in his statement that the Park is an area of outstanding natural beauty and contains much of scientific, cultural and environmental interest. [More…]
I have been lucky enough to see national parks and areas of natural beauty in various parts of the world. [More…]
That will happen provided one important condition is met- that is, that the Kakadu National Park stays in its present pristine, completely natural state. [More…]
There are very few parts of the world left where a park of that size and of such tremendous diversity of interestcontaining as it does such things as jabiru birds, saltwater crocodiles and an enormous wealth of natural life- is available to a world body of tourists of increasing size who make a cult of that sort of thing and who are prepared to spend almost any sum of money to go to a place which they regard as being worthy of inspection. [More…]
I am quite sure that we will get into the Park tourists from Japan, England and America, in large numbers provided that they can go there and find it to be an area of natural wonderland. [More…]
Will this move, which is a very common one, be regarded as a natural progression or as a change of course? [More…]
It is a natural human urge. [More…]
It relates to CSR Ltd, a company which has had a lifetime of association with Queensland, a company which is a major Australian company, a company which wishes to become further involved in the development of Australia, a company which I believe is well managed, a company which is significant and a company which ought to have the opportunity, if the market forces permit it, to be able to participate in a take-over and development to maximise the efficiency of the operation of the whole capital market system without interference by a State Premier who apparently regards anything which comes from south of the border of Queensland as beyond the pale and, if necessary, to be kept out of the development of a national attitude, a national development, a national efficiency on the basis that a company, even with that background of association with Queensland, is not to be allowed to participate in a take-over or a take-over attempt, which is natural within our total system, because it is not based on a totally Queensland shareholding. [More…]
I think we are all realistic enough to realise that, granted its natural instincts, sections of the Public Service would be only too happy to create that bottleneck simply because it was a bottleneck. [More…]
But their instinct naturally is against open government, and this is because of tendencies that have prevailed in this country for so long. [More…]
Their natural instinct is not to stick their necks out. [More…]
I think that is another natural thing which has to be taken into account. [More…]
The Queensland Minister for Aboriginal and Island Affairs, Mr Porter, complains about Commonwealth interference at Yarrabah because the Yarrabah people have approached the Australian Government for natural justice. [More…]
The only exceptions allowed were for operational emergencies, natural disasters, emergency and mercy flights and instances of significant passenger hardship. [More…]
The total amount of electrical charge contributed to the atmosphere by particles from electrostatic precipitators would be very small and would be greatly outweighed by the charges associated with natural phenomena such as electrical storms and thunderstorms. [More…]
Since 1975-76 the notices of price rises processed by the PJT have naturally fallen. [More…]
If it has not the staff to process them and the guidelines are increased that is a natural extension. [More…]
If we want wages justification, we would see a natural corollary in prices justification. [More…]
This is the most grave injustice, the most complete perversion of natural justice, that I have ever seen in this country. [More…]
This is the most grave injustice, the most complete perversion of natural justice, that I have ever seen in this country. [More…]
In the bleak post-war years of the 1950s and the 1960s when development was taking place and migration was increasing the hazards and problems of population congestion in our cities and suburbs and when a natural increase caused our population almost to double, governments of the present Government’s philosophy turned a blind eye to the problem and answered no to the pleadings of local government to be recognised. [More…]
During 1978-79 Australian production of natural noncheddar cheese totalled about 33,000 tonnes compared with non-cheddar cheese imports of approximately 6,600 tonnes, from all sources except New Zealand. [More…]
Many of our colleagues have pointed out that our countries are democratic and are deeply impregnated with a sense of freedom; they believe in morality and in natural law . [More…]
It was not until a later stage, until Aristotle and Cicero started trying to formulate some sort of conception of natural rights, that is, rights inherent in every human being, rights without which the definition of the term ‘human being’ ceased to have any meaning. [More…]
There are no such things as natural rights- no such things as natural rights opposed to, in contradistinction to legal . [More…]
Natural rights is simple nonsense: natural and imprescriptible rights, rhetoric nonsense- nonsense upon stilts. [More…]
Which brings me back to natural justice and the need to embody it in law. [More…]
I understand that this assistance will be financed under the joint State and Commonwealth aid scheme under which the State is required to meet the first $3m of natural disaster assistance in any one year plus 25 per cent of outlays above this level. [More…]
Did the Leader of the Government in the Senate see the article in today’s Australian relating to a report yesterday from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation to the Senate Standing Committee on National Resources which called for much greater Australian use and, by implication, consumption of natural gas as opposed to exporting this valuable fuel? [More…]
As this report from the CSIRO is so obviously relevant and correct, will the Government immediately increase the incentives for the use of natural gas and other hydrocarbon gaseous fuels in Australia so that a total embargo on the export of gaseous hydrocarbons can be brought down as soon as possible? [More…]
We learn that at Ranger no effort will be made to ventilate the open cut pits; that natural convection will be relied upon to clear radon gas. [More…]
These are aimed at assisting the fulfilment of the objective of encouraging conservation of energy- in particular, liquid fuels other than LPG- and promoting the use of alternative energy sources such as natural gas, LPG, coal-based electricity and solar energy. [More…]
These provisions will exempt goods for use in the conversion of internal combustion engines to liquefied petroleum gas or natural gas operation; non-oil burning domestic space heating appliances; and various solar energy appliances. [More…]
As compressed natural gas is emerging as an alternative motor vehicle fuel, it is proposed that the exemption for engine conversion kits apply to goods for use in conversions to natural gas as well as to conversions to LPG. [More…]
But any political passion for equality wrecks any hope of freedom because natural law springs from two principles; firstly, self-preservation; and, secondly, a natural repugnance to unwarranted infliction of pain and death. [More…]
Recent theoretical models for Pacific co-operation advanced by academics are based on the striking economic growth achieved by a number of developing countries in the region in recent years and growing economic interdependence as well as the vast natural endowments and rapid technological change in the region. [More…]
Between the Commonwealth and the States there exist very clear and definite arrangements regarding natural disasters, including financial and physical arrangements. [More…]
We can only record the regret of the Commonwealth Government that people have suffered and its willingness to be helpful in the sphere of natural disasters. [More…]
Naturally, the Opposition is concerned that the mentality or philosophy that seems to be characteristic of mining companies is seen in a proper perspective, having regard to our fundamental commitment and obligation to protect the rights of Aborigines. [More…]
Nobody in the Senate or in the Parliament would deny, I am sure, that here we have a major area of public conflict between the landowners and those who want to develop the land for various reasons, including the exploitation of natural resources in a particular region. [More…]
In response to the way in which that extravagant behaviour in a number of respects was going on the democratic process took its natural course. [More…]
The foreign exchange that overseas tourists bring to this country and the great natural assets that we have for the tourist hold out the promise of rich rewards to our balance of payments and, most importantly, provide employment for many people in this country serving those tourists. [More…]
We would understand, if not entirely applaud the Government’s attitude, if it simply did not want to create a proliferation of statutory bodies perhaps because of some intimidation from Senator Rae, who seems to regard it as a matter of moral evil for a statutory body to be created these days unless there is some overwhelming justification for it, such that all mortal men, natural or otherwise, would unequivocally agree. [More…]
If it is the practice of the Department to conform to these basic rules of natural justice: (a) for what length of time is the notice which is provided; (b) what details of the evidence are provided (for example, reports of field officers, the names of informants, and copies of all statements); and (c) is the pensioner or beneficiary permitted to make an oral or written representation to the Department. [More…]
Will the Department, if the notice, information and opportunity referred to in (1) above are not provided, restructure its procedures in view of the serious invasion of the rights of pensioners and beneficiaries involved in such a denial of natural justice. [More…]
We believe even more urgently that there should be incentives to Australian industry, perhaps totalling $200m or as close to that figure as possible, to work, especially with the Northwest Shelf consortium, to ensure that there is rapid construction of at least one plant, possibly two 5,000 tonne a day plants, based on known technology, to produce methanol and other forms of alcohol useful as a motor spirit from the North- West Shelf natural gas fields. [More…]
The real goer here is methanol from our natural gas. [More…]
We could then have higher consumption of methanol as we built more plants on natural gas fields. [More…]
The industrial revolution happened, and could only have happened, in a society that had developed a theoretical intellectual system, natural science and a pre-industrial technology of a high order. [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…]
The complex interrelationship of the natural ecology is gradually being accepted. [More…]
It could be said that this is an encouragement to develop our natural resources, but the whole situation rests on the fact that the Government is allowing our resources to be pillaged by people whose interests are overseas. [More…]
That the natural resources of Australia and in particular the uranium deposits of the Northern Territory should be exploited by companies which have substantial Australian interests so that the benefits accrue to all Australians. [More…]
But the natural long term irregularities of the global stratospheric ozone are plus or minus 5 per cent and short term variations- that is, perhaps over one year or two years- are even larger. [More…]
Perhaps the most significant part of that sort of aid is that it is closely related to the natural history and development of those societies. [More…]
The developments are also a natural consequence of the findings of the Committee of Inquiry into Education and Training. [More…]
-The purpose of the Bill before the Senate is to authorise the Pipeline Authority to construct a natural gas pipeline from Young on the main Moomba to Sydney pipeline to Cootamundra and Wagga Wagga. [More…]
When completed the pipeline will be operated and maintained by the Pipeline Authority, carrying natural gas from the Cooper Basin gas fields in South Australia. [More…]
Introduction of natural gas to Cootamundra and Wagga Wagga will aid the Government’s liquid fuel conservation program by providing further opportunities for significant fuel substitution. [More…]
Employment opportunities in Cootamundra and Wagga Wagga will be improved as a result of the stimulus provided to local industry and commerce by a natural gas supply. [More…]
That extension would connect the Cooper Basin and Bass Strait gas fields with the major cities and establish an east coast natural gas pipeline grid. [More…]
Construction of the pipeline is expected to commence early in 1980-81 and natural gas is expected to be reticulated in Cootamundra and Wagga Wagga in mid- 1981.I commend the Bill to the Senate. [More…]
We believe that there should be orderly and balanced development of our natural resources. [More…]
Overseas travel by the Directors, including the Chairman, and by the General Manager and other officers is undertaken pursuant to resolution of the Board as a natural and necessary requirement for the purposes of carrying on the Company’s business of international air transport with world wide services. [More…]
1 ) What is the relationship between the financial benefit to Australia through the proposed export of 6.5 tonnes of liquefied natural gas and the financial burden to Australia through importing a quantity of oil that would have a similar energy potential. [More…]
However, I would point out that the proposal was examined by the Foreign Investment Review Board in terms of the guidelines for foreign participation in new natural resource projects, including uranium. [More…]
Where a project does not meet the Government’s guidelines in respect of the generally required level of Australian equity (50 per cent in respect of natural resource projects other than uranium and 75 per cent in respect of new uranium projects ) the Government may, where it considers it appropriate to do so, require that the level of Australian participation be increased to meet the guidelines over an agreed period. [More…]
the search was accomplished as quickly as possible bearing in mind the natural hazards of the area, including numerous shoals/reefs and swift tidal currents. [More…]
Is the Federal Government prepared to re-examine existing and proposed contracts for the sale of liquefied petroleum gas and liquid natural gas overseas in the light of the changed circumstances of the last 12 months with a view to preserving energy supplies which might be essential to Australia. [More…]
There are currently no contracts to export liquefied natural gas from Australia. [More…]
A particular condition of the export permit will ensure that Western Australia is so supplied with its natural gas requirements from this project. [More…]
Did the Leader of the Government in the Senate see the article in today’s Australian relating to a report yesterday from the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation to the Senate Standing Committee on National Resources which called for much greater Australian use and, by implication, consumption of natural gas as opposed to exporting this valuable fuel? [More…]
As this report from the CSIRO is so obviously relevant and correct, will the Government immediately increase the incentives for the use of natural gas and other hydrocarbon gaseous fuels in Australia so that a total embargo on the export of gaseous hydrocarbons can be brought down as soon as possible? [More…]
Has the Minister representing the Minister for Minerals and Energy seen a statement made by the Minister for Minerals and Energy that there is a shortfall of between 0.8 and 0.9 trillion feet of natural gas reserves in the Moomba-Gidgealpa field in South Australia to meet the requirements of Adelaide, Sydney and the proposed petrochemical industry at Redcliffs in South Australia? [More…]
That Aboriginal lands include total rights to all natural resources, and that present mining and prospecting be suspended until negotiations are held with Aboriginals. [More…]
Will the Prime Minister be prepared to make a statement condemning this outrageous waste of human and natural resources? [More…]
