As to the present proposal, we can so far identify its nature and purpose only by the series of negatives in which the Prime Minister has purported to say what it will not do and what it will not be; what it will not appear to do; what it will not appear to be; what, according to his understanding - and all it can be is his understanding at this stage - it will not do and what it will not be. [More…]
To justify itself, to hide the total failure of its policy in Vietnam and in this region, this Government, and in particular its leader, clings to its original disastrous myth about the nature of the war in South Vietnam, and the needs and nature of the continuing conflict in the whole of the old French colonial territories. [More…]
The great question of the 70s is: Shall we surrender to our surroundings or shall we make our peace with nature and begin to make reparations for the damage we have done to our air, to our land and to our water? [More…]
There are many matters of a much more partisan and possibly more controversial nature which could be raised. [More…]
Today these people are totally dependent on nature. [More…]
I simply do not believe that it is in the nature of political institutions to relinquish powers that they already exercise. [More…]
It is not a question of defending Communists or anything of that nature. [More…]
So on his own testimony the Leader of the Opposition demonstrates the falseness and the misleading nature of the attack on my veracity. [More…]
They did not have access to the domestic market for sales, they were limited by the shipping arrangements, and basically they produced a type of meat that was of a manufacturing nature which was mainly available for sale to the attractive American market. [More…]
It is quite competent for the Committee in the case of Mascot, Eagle Farm or any other airport in Australia, to come forward with facts and evidence to show that the future use of those airports provides some hazard of a nature for which there is no solution. [More…]
I say to the honourable member for La Trobe in particular that I feel that the amendment that has been moved by the honourable member for Newcastle ought to have been sought to be included as paragraph 1 (k) because the positioning and development of major airports, as the Minister for National Development (Mr Swartz) has made clear, is a problem to be resolved after great investigation, after analyses of the most technical nature, and after considerations involving the governments of the States and local government communities in the various major cities. [More…]
Sections 4 and 5 of the present Act each contain provisions setting the limits of time during which both allowances in the nature of salary, and electorate allowances are payable to senators and members. [More…]
Yet this committee unanimously recommended that America end conscription of a selective nature and substitute an all volunteer army. [More…]
In the process the Commission made some very cogent criticisms of the nature of conscription in Australia. [More…]
That is inevitable; it is in the nature of all human decisions and actions. [More…]
I do not intend to comment because the question of the nature, the size, the extent or the timing has not been decided and this is a matter for the Prime Minister. [More…]
If honourable members want to see some comments on the nature of justice 1 refer them to a very fine book called ‘New Guinea’. [More…]
A document relating to the public affairs quoted from by a Minister, unless stated to be of a confidential nature or such as should more properly be obtained by address, shall, if required by any Member, be laid on the Table. [More…]
But the Minister, under standing order 321, unless he states the document to be of a confidential nature - [More…]
Let it be said to people who find it easy to be critical from afar of the activities of members of the civil service, that the truth is that members pf the civil service look to this House of Representatives - to this Parliament - to defend them, and to defend them above all from attacks of the snide, vicious, unreliable and irresponsible nature that characterises the words of the Leader of the Opposition. [More…]
This explains many things about the nature of the statement and its omissions and defects. [More…]
Much of this material is of a descriptive nature and calls for little comment. [More…]
He is Fraser by name and phraser by nature. [More…]
I was in Fortress Singapore, and so was the honourable member for Reid, and T do not think that either of us would want to be in a fortress of that nature again. [More…]
These engineers hold this Government responsible for the unsatisfactory nature of this decision. [More…]
A delay of this nature can be extremely damaging to a man. [More…]
Many honourable members have had brought to their notice a case where a separation has occurred and a spouse has been committed to a nursing home for care and attention which obviously would be of a permanent nature and, shortly after admission to such an institution, has died. [More…]
The major proposition, which is to provide a standard rate of pension for married couples separated because of illness or infirmity where the separation is likely to be of a permanent nature and takes one partner away from the matrimonial home, merely formalises an established practice. [More…]
There are a large number of conditions, some degenerative in their nature such as coronary occlusions, cerebrp vascular accident, trauma resulting in fractured limbs, head injuries or surgical conditions, where one can be. [More…]
I presume that this legislation will benefit couples whose separation by way of admission to a hospital or nursing home is of a permanent and long term nature, which is likely to be the general circumstance of the couples concerned. [More…]
Mr Deputy “Speaker, as no doubt you have yourself, to look over the Governor-General’s Speech, which outlined the legislative intentions of the Government for the current year and I detected that nothing of a substantial nature in regard to social services was indicated in that Speech at all. [More…]
I predict that we will have some other legislation between now and the Senate election and that it will not be of a serious nature. [More…]
Both honourable members have had ample experience in this House to know that there are plenty of opportunities for them to raise questions of a general nature relating to social services. [More…]
At the same time a number of amendments have been made in relation to the functions and operations of the River Murray Commission and some minor amendments have been incorporated to delete obsolete provisions in the principal Agreement and to effect a few other minor amendments of a textual nature. [More…]
As a result of the inclusion of the Dartwouth Reservoir in the Agreement a number of consequential changes have been made to other clauses, many of which are of a purely routine nature and will not be mentioned further. [More…]
I refer now to matters more of a machinery nature. [More…]
As the Deputy Leader of the Opposition says, words of this nature are undesirable, but at this stage I cannot rule that they are unparliamentary. [More…]
By the very nature of the separate and individual powers given to the States in Australia it was inevitable that jealousies would arise and that conflict in ideas of development would occur. [More…]
These provisions authorise deductions for expenditure incurred in producing assessable income, but specifically preclude the allowance of deductions for outgoings which are of a capital, private or domestic nature. [More…]
Decisions of Taxation Boards of Review have established that expenditure incurred by a taxpayer on a course of study undertaken with a view to acquiring academic qualifications, or to enable him to take up a career, is of a private or capital nature and is not deductible for income tax purposes. [More…]
It is the practice of the Government to examine the many requests of this nature that are made for taxation concessions when it is preparing the annual Budget. [More…]
The other point raised in the honourable gentleman’s question is whether the proposed Bill will be one, as it were, which stands on its own feet as a separate Cheques Bill or whether on the other hand it will be in the nature of an amendment to the Bills of Exchange Act. [More…]
A similar type of service of an endoscopic nature costs $180 in New South Wales and $80 in Tasmania. [More…]
Companies of this nature deserve investigation and inquiry and deserve to be the subject of public scrutiny. [More…]
However, in view of the predominantly interstate nature of the Commonwealth Railways’ system the existing Commonwealth benefit is of limited value to pensioners and the Government has been investigating the possibility of affording relief for those pensioners travelling interstate over the TransAustralian and Central Australian railways.

Secondly, we must decry the absence of any systematic survey of the whole community to determine the nature and extent of the needs of the aged and the infirm. [More…]
The disease provisions have been liberalised so as to allow prescription of diseases of an occupational nature in accordance with International Labour Organisation conventions. [More…]
These diseases will be automatically accepted as due to the nature of the employment. [More…]
Partly this was due to the nature of his position. [More…]
Even more, it was in his character, and part of his nature, to believe that the problems of the people - his people - were his own. [More…]
The domino theory, therefore, is to us rather a gross over-simplification of the nature of the historical processes that go on in the area. [More…]
It does report to the Advisory Council, the recommendations of which are of a confidential nature. [More…]
Proceedings are of a private nature. [More…]
My Department does not compile statistics of this nature. [More…]
If so, what is the nature of the machinery so used. [More…]
and (3) It would be inconsistent with the confidential nature of the discussions of the Standing Committee to provide a complete list of the matters considered by the Committee. [More…]
However, because of the very nature of it, my Department takes a keen interest in the matters to which he refers. [More…]
Unfortunately, that Authority had very little to do with this dam until right at the end - and then it was only of a quite minor nature. [More…]

Does he accept that spastic centres provide treatment and training that is professional and specialised and can properly be regarded as medical or para-medical in nature? [More…]
I would not wish to give any indication as to their nature or how they are progressing. [More…]
I am also led to believe that there are going to be other meetings of this nature in places such as Narrandera and Tamworth. [More…]
The honourable gentleman will be disappointed to learn that no report of this nature was made by Sir Keith Waller, the former Ambassador to the United States. [More…]
I regret it all the more because of the special nature of the position held by the Leader of the House (Mr Snedden). [More…]
In the House this morning he clarified that report bysaying that he did not know of the nature of the amendments. [More…]
He is extraordinarily absentminded, extraordinarily neglectful of his duties, if he did not know the general nature of the amendments. [More…]
Further, he told the House that he had no knowledge of the nature of the amendments. [More…]
Two hours before, the 2 precise clauses were identified and in fact 7 hours before that the general nature of them was indicated. [More…]
I believe very wide freedom has been given in the terms and nature of amendments moved in this place. [More…]
Finally, I quote from page 407: lt is important to observe that the question whether the proposition contained in a superseded motion has been decided depends, not upon the fact that its words have been omitted, but rather upon the nature of the amendment by which the motion has been superseded. [More…]
There must be many honourable members on the other side of the House who would sympathise with the honourable member for Wills and who would have accepted what he put forward as the proper course to take under provocation of this nature. [More…]
In the nature of things tempers are raised here - occasionally by a man or two, occasionally by quite a number of people. [More…]
It is not in the nature of democracy that we all like the laws that exist. [More…]
That is true, but what one looks for is the nature of the association, it is not just the juxtaposition which makes the guilt. [More…]
lt is the nature of the association. [More…]
Bearing in mind the injustice of the receipts tax - it is based on a flat rate and it affects all people, particularly those who are least able to pay, namely, pensioners and people on fixed incomes - can he now indicate the nature of the growth factor which he has in mind, and can he explain why it would not be sufficient to obviate the necessity of presenting validating legislation in this chamber? [More…]
Whilst the recommendations are acceptable I still feel that sufficient inquiry of an independent nature has not been conducted. [More…]
The nature and extent of the relationship between these organisations is amply detailed in statements made in this House by my last two predecessors in office on 3rd September 1964 and 4th May 1968. [More…]
At this meeting, Mr Arthur Robert Quinn, described as an executive member of the co-ordinating committee, is reported as having moved a resolution to delete from the statement of the aims of the Campaign the condition that ‘all actions taken be of a peaceful, non-violent nature’. [More…]

A second point was the nature of the recommendations by the Nimmo Committee. [More…]
Structural panels cannot be used with maximum economy because building codes still specify studs of the size and nature required by traditional construction techniques. [More…]
In a country enjoying the universal affluence which is the experience of the vast majority of the community and where there are constant temptations for young people to spend their money, it is a real source of gratification to all members of the Government that the homes savings grant scheme has focused the savings habit among the younger members of the community towards a home and away from things of a less permanent .and less fundamental nature than owning their own homes. [More…]
He stated that Opposition members shared a number of misconceptions as to the nature of this legislation, that we are under a number of delusions about this Act. [More…]
The reason people have not been prepared to invest in housing is not because of risk but because it has been relatively more profitable to invest in short term lending, such as hire purchase and matters of that nature, where people can turn over their money quickly. [More…]
There are thousands of young men in Australia whose future income is assured by the very nature of their employment. [More…]
But the question is the nature Of association between members of Parliament and Communists and the character of the association itself. [More…]
I appreciate that the Prime Minister is naturally a little bit touchy and a little bit keyed up at question time, expecting that all questions will be rather curly and of a political nature. [More…]
1 hope that as a result of his having moved this amendment the Australian electorate will appreciate that the alternative government has altered its very nature - its approach to democracy. [More…]
Throughout the whole history of legislation and negotiation relating to natural gas, oil and the continental shelf generally we have from time to time pointed out the illegality and the unconstitutional nature of the various arrangements which have been made. [More…]
The information provided by these 2 investigations is being studied with a view to determining the nature of the action necessary if the needs disclosed are to be met. [More…]
Will he take steps to set up a permanent committee to conduct research into the nature and extent of poverty in the community, to identify areas of need and to develop recommendations on ‘need-meeting’ processes as our initial major assault in the campaign against poverty. [More…]
The nature of this fire was such that it would need to have been contained at the very moment it started or it would have been beyond the capacity of any fire fighting installation, no matter how large it was, to control it when we bear in mind such things as the explosion of propane gas, the explosion of oxy-acetylene cylinders and the other inflammable material that necessarily lies around the hull of a big ship which, by its very shape, causes a profound draught that serves very much to accelerate the force of the fire. [More…]
The information these people have been given has been of a loose and vague nature. [More…]
This is in the nature of the case when one is producing hospitals of 300, 400, 500 or 600 beds. [More…]
It is inevitable in the nature of the case when installing something like a central laundry and sterilising facility which economically has to be built to provide for large numbers of beds. [More…]
But in terms of the nature of the transactions involved and in terms of the critical problems associated with the payment of mortgages, the payment of other costs and so on. [More…]
Surely it would have been possible to put a proviso in the Income Tax Act to deal with allowances in the same way as the Government is providing now in relation to probate that the advantages will not accrue unless a certain part of the total activities is primary in nature. [More…]
This is why we have taken, the opportunity not to give so much attention to the little benefit that the Bill will provide but to try to draw the attention of the House to the serious nature of the problems that are now upon us and the impact that existing and prevailing systems of taxation - both income tax and estate and probate duties - have upon us and to suggest why a measure as small as this, even though it may concede benefits somewhere, is still not fundamentally facing up to the critical problems of the agricultural, primary or rural sections of the community which are still important for their own sakes, for the sakes of the people who live in them and for the sake of the future expansion of the Australian economy. [More…]
I feel that he has not collected his copy of the amendment and has completely misled the House - I presume through ignorance rather than through deliberate action - as to its nature. [More…]
I consider that such a procedure is necessary in order that when a Bill of this nature is presented to the House there will be an informed body of opinion, based on solid research, which will be able to determine whether the legislation is worth while. [More…]
It is of an ad hoc nature. [More…]
Would a campaign of this nature cost at least $300,000 to prepare and complete? [More…]
But it has also been the practice, certainly in my Department - I cannot speak for the others - that when a departure is being made from existing arrangements, particularly a departure of a substantial nature, where it is necessary for the public both to understand the new arrangements and to be aware of them so as to get the benefits additional methods are employed. [More…]
5m to Tasmania represents special assistance of a temporary nature to help the State finance its revenue deficit. [More…]
It is always a pleasure when we can get a point of agreement in this House on measures of this nature. [More…]
Such is the precarious nature of the film industry. [More…]
All along it has been these false interpretations of the nature of the conflict in Indo-China that have trapped us into false responses foredoomed to failure. [More…]
One could go further and say that if the balance is disturbed there is the strong possibility of the tidal systems of the Great Barrier Reef being also of such a nature and of such power that the whole structure of the Reef itself and the living side of the coral could be disturbed. [More…]
It is human nature, as far as I have observed it, to empire build, and, again as far as I have observed it, the academic stream of mankind is not exactly exempt from that inclination. [More…]
Were they located in a position, as I believe they were on this occasion, where the firemen could not get near them because of the nature of the fire? [More…]
The matters the honourable member for Newcastle has raised I am quite happy to refer to a technically competent committee for inquiry, but I frankly do not believe this House is competent to prejudge inquiries or to undertake inquiries of this nature. [More…]
The allowances are related to the nature of the member’s duty and or the additional responsibility or skill involved in the performance of a particular task and are varied from time to time. [More…]
Since his answer to me on 10th September 1968 (Hansard, page 874) (a) what changes have been made in the conditions under which pensioners are granted free out-patient and in-patient treatment in hospitals in each State and Territory and (b) what have been the date, nature and result of any consultations between the Commonwealth and States on the effect which relaxations of the means test have on the use and cost of State hospital facilities. [More…]
They vary by degree and nature. [More…]
But because of the nature of military orders is is very difficult to maintain an even flow of orders for factories that rely entirely on defence orders. [More…]
Their attack seems to be centred not so much on the matter under consideration; rather do they take the opportunity to launch an attack on the Opposition, particularly the honourable member for Dawson who consistently pressed for measures of this nature long before members of the Country Party woke up. [More…]
is a great militant and a great sponsor for rural and drought relief and things of that nature. [More…]
By the very nature of health services costs will increase at a faster rate than comparable costs for other services in the community. [More…]
To a large extent this is unavoidable because of the complex and extremely expensive nature of research - of improved treatment in health services - but this is no justification for allowing completely unfettered increases to occur. [More…]
The Labor Party has made i: clear that it would operate the scheme under a commission, which would decide the nature of the scheme, the percentage of income that would be taken from people to run the scheme and which doctors patients would get. [More…]
These agreed terms of reference incorporate some improvements and changes of a drafting nature from the agreed terms announced on 29th January following the conference on that date between the Premier and myself. [More…]
As I have said, the AIDC is completely non-regulatory and non-restrictive in nature. [More…]
A conference of this nature gave for the first time a chance for Asian nations to hammer out a concerted policy in an effort to end the Indo-China war. [More…]
I realise the complex nature of this legislation. [More…]
These proposals, it has been said, have been prepared after careful consideration and it is clear from the detailed nature of the proposals that this is so. [More…]
Governments also in their own way determine the nature of the government of hospitals, how they are run and the composition of their boards of management. [More…]
With the several alternatives offering to subscribers as outlined above, coupled with the subscribers having the right to choose between aerial and cable construction and since the number of subscribers on a common route, nature of the terrain, etc., all bear on the cost factor, it is not possible to estimate the effects of providing a 30% subsidy. [More…]
527 asked by the Honourable Member on 9th April 1970, involves a question of future Government policy, and as indicated in the reply given on that occasion it is impracticable to provide an answer to a question of this nature. [More…]
Other military incendiary substances are inorganic in nature and do not themselves produce carbon monoxide: however, ignition of natural combustibles resulting from the use of these incendiary substances will produce some carbon monoxide, the amount depending on the conditions of combustion and the nature of the combustible material. [More…]
I rise to inform the House that the assurance we received from the client department and the Department of Works in particular was of such a nature that it provided prospects of any problem arising from aircraft noise being attended to, even if necessary by a subsequent design submission. [More…]
The 3 honourable members put their signatures to the report and it was a unanimous report. [More…]
1 would have thought that on a matter of this nature one would have been able to make up one’s mind with some measure of finality. [More…]
I hope that when the interim report of the Aircraft Noise Committee comes before the Parliament in the very near future we will get an assurance from the ministerial heads of the departments concerned that the findings of the Committee will be taken into consideration and that if inquiries are being made into the siting of aerodromes, runways and things of that nature at least the departmental submission will include, even without comment, the findings of the Aircraft Noise Committee on these matters. [More…]
There is no provision for psychiatric services of a preventive or curative nature. [More…]
A national government must look overall at the nature of medical care and the medical needs of the people. [More…]
The common fee was given to the Government in the nature of a confidence by the medical profession and not so the Government could announce it as a standard fee that the public might be expected to pay. [More…]
Because human nature is what it is, this may well happen. [More…]
A patient may be forced to stay in hospital for a very extended period because of a condition that is not surgical in nature. [More…]
This trend will probably go on and more specialists will in fact be practising in this country because of the nature of things as we find them today because of developments in science and because of the specialised nature of many procedures. [More…]
I should imagine that any rational adult in this country in 1970 who had lived past the age of 25 or 30 years would feel that the millennium had arrived when a statement of this nature could be made in a policy speech by the Prime Minister of Australia. [More…]
At that time the honourable member for Wilmot would have regarded it as beyond comprehension that things of the nature mentioned in the policy speech could be said. [More…]
Nobody knows how these people are elected, the term of their office, the nature of their allowances or expenses and the nature of the people whom they represent. [More…]
Now, J know that argument is raised against a contract service of this nature on the ground that, unless some charge over and above the fund and Commonwealth benefit is made, people will abuse the contract by visiting doctors or asking doctors to visit unnecessarily. [More…]
Country GPs, if they carry out an examination or surgery of a specialist nature, will be entitled to a much lesser benefit than will the specialist who performs exactly the same service. [More…]
In a direct tilt at the May 8 Vietnam Moratorium, the Australian Workers Union has warned workers to be wary of being used in matters of a purely political nature. [More…]
Yet they are breaking the most sacred rules of human nature, the laws of any religion which one might like to espouse, and of the religion to which I imagine some of them pay lip service because I can hear the whispers on that side of the House when the prayers are read every day in this House. [More…]
Some of the reasons are obvious when we look at the nature of the organisation associated with the Vietnam Moratorium Campaign. [More…]
The nature of the Opposition Party and its policies has altered because the nature of its associations has altered. [More…]
So for those reasons we are concerned with the nature of the policies which have been developed by the Opposition. [More…]
When did a higher authority first learn of the facts and circumstances of these sentences and what was the date and nature of the remedial action taken. [More…]
Employees in the industry, aware of the Government’s reputation in matters of this nature, are extremely concerned that any merger will mean that the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation will take over the Government’s interest in the Government Aircraft Factories. [More…]
I hope that the Government will give an assurance that if a merger takes place in this industry in the name of rationalisation the Government Aircraft Factories will retain a controlling interest in any merged industry, because it is an industry which at this stage is engaged solely in operations of a defence nature, lt is an industry which can justify its existence only by defence needs. [More…]
If periodically those people who have developed skills in the industry are to be wiped out by retrenchment or the up and down nature of employment in the industry over recent years we will not have an industry if and when we require it - heaven forbid that we do - for national defence purposes. [More…]
Thus these teams, though they were able to observe the steady and continuous arrival of war material, including aircraft carriers with helicopters on board, were unable, in view of the denial of controls, to determine precisely the quantum and nature of war material unloaded and introduced into South Vietnam. [More…]
Naturally I do not bow to threats of this nature and the LCP, I hope, can continue as the third municipal party in Brisbane, and will be able to overcome the present proposed threat. [More…]
1 am further of the belief that Alderman Penridge was wrongly convicted by virtue of the nature of the evidence brought against him. [More…]
That is, by withdrawal of United States troops and the acceptance of a coalition government may be expected to arise out of American political weakness, the nature of which is accurately described and the intensity of which is in direct proportion to the strength of this protest movement. [More…]
To show the nature of this so-called democratic government in South Vietnam, which this Government supports, let me refer to some particulars given in answer to a question which I directed on 27th September 1967 to the then Minister for External Affairs, Mr Hasluck. [More…]
One would have to be totally innocent of all knowledge of history or human nature to believe that such a concentration of political and economic power could persist undisturbed. [More…]
The moral decisions involved must appear agonisingly difficult to all except those who have very simple-minded views of the nature of man and society. [More…]
This confusion of purpose and confusion about what has been happening in Vietnam has arisen out of the nature of the conflict. [More…]
This is an insidious and evil form of aggression but it is nonetheless aggression although its nature has changed. [More…]
In considering every application by a doctor who practises in a State or Territory which does not have specialist registration laws or by a doctor who practises in a State or Territory which has such laws but who has not been registered under those laws the clearly appropriate criteria will be applied, namely, the doctor’s qualifications, his experience and standing in the profession and the nature of his practice. [More…]
In addition, our present commitment to the project only extends to the current phase which is of R & D nature and covers functional modelling and simulation studies. [More…]
However, as the honourable member will realise, specific road traffic control devices of this nature must come within the ambit of the responsibility of State governments and authorities responsible for road control. [More…]
One would hope that by its application there may be some alleviation of road traffic accidents, particularly at intersections and corners where the volume of traffic apparently is such that a device of this nature is most likely to yield the results for which it is designed. [More…]
As T have said, 1 do not need to embroider the precedent which he has created by revealing the nature of the Cabinet discussions on this matter, and of his own relations with his leader and of his leader’s conduct in regard to this further set of minutes, but I do feel at least that this is the appropriate opportunity to point out that at least in this matter concerning the Commonwealth and the States members of all the parliaments in Australia will know what was done by the governments responsible to them. [More…]
On page 7 of the report there is a break-down of the nature of the exports that are insured. [More…]
If the United Kingdom’s experience can be taken as n guide, most of this finance is of a short term nature but the United Kingdom, like other countries exporting capita! [More…]
The resources of the Corporation are available to banks which are providing medium to longterm finance for exports of a capital nature, and ensures that finance is not a limiting factor in the development of that field. [More…]
I would hope that we take a longer term view in the decade now beginning and diversify the nature of our exports. [More…]
Of course, there was hesitation on the part of certain manufacturers and from one’s own experience there can be no denying the cautious nature in which the Australian trading banks, including the Government owned and directed Commonwealth Trading Bank, moved into accepting the insurance paper of EPIC as collateral security. [More…]
Therefore the comments I make are somewhat general in nature and I hope they will be a prelude to a fuller debate at a later stage. [More…]
It had to accept what the Minister aptly called degradation of this nature. [More…]
The information was available to the Commonwealth but, in view of its confidential nature as far as the Queensland Gevernment is concerned, we cannot disclose it here. [More…]
The only comment I can make is that, because of the confidential nature of the information asked for by the honourable member, we cannot provide it. [More…]
The dilatory nature of the approach of the Government to the national art gallery is reflected even in the appointment of the Interim Council. [More…]
But surely in this field the honourable member realises that in a forum of this nature the employee and the employer have every right to put the respective cases to the Commission, and that when the Commission makes its decision we should abide by it because this is the machinery set up in this country to deal with such matters. [More…]
What we are concerned about is the prospect of propagating at public expense information which is not of a neutral nature from a public standpoint. [More…]
The proposed publicity about the new health benefits plan will not be of a political nature. [More…]
Commonwealth benefit is payable to any person for medical treatment of a nature covered by the First Schedule.’. [More…]
We are proposing that the Commonwealth benefit should be payable to any person for medical treatment of a nature covered by these items detailed in the First Schedule. [More…]
Expenditure o a capital nature and expenditure in respect of administrative expenses (including the remuneration of members of committees established under this Act) incurred by or on behalf of the Commonwealth for the purposes of this Act shall be paid out of monies from time to time appropriated by the Parliament for the purpose. [More…]
One of the reasons why I refer to this matter is that at the present time the pensioner medical service in our view is totally inadequate in that it provides for services of a general practitioner nature but not those of a specialist nature. [More…]
But the pensioner medical service remains limited to services of a general practitioner nature and is not to be updated or upgraded in any way at all. [More…]
The treatment required was of a fairly serious nature and was fairly urgent. [More…]
The larger open schemes operating in Australia are inefficient because they in fact do these things which we criticise, lt is inherent in their nature. [More…]
All in all there are fairly large diseconomies in the way they operate because of this general inefficiency which is part and parcel of the nature of the competition between these funds. [More…]
I put it to the Minister that any cuts occurring in Government expenditure in Canada today are of a general nature and arc part of the austerity measures introduced by the Trudeau Government in that country. [More…]
In spite of that - and the Minister will be well aware of this because I brought this point to his notice as a result of communications I had with the Minister for Health in Canada - the health services in Canada operate on a provincial basis and their nature varies from province to province. [More…]

One cannot be too forthright in a matter of this nature because there are other people around the table who have their own views, but 1 personally would like to be absolutely sure that there will be no legislation presented to the Commonwealth Parliament which would face us with a fait accompli as far as the continental shelf is concerned.

While the Government concluded that the responsibility for the work of ACT law reform should rest with the responsible departments, it decided that arrangements should be made for consultation on matters of a specialist or technical nature to take place with informed sections of the community.

There are a number of reasons why Australia needs not only a corporation of this nature but also a government with an imaginative approach to our economic problems. [More…]
The Bill has the support of the Opposition because the Opposition believes that a corporation of this nature is absolutely necessary in our economic conditions as they exist now and as they have existed for many years. [More…]
In doing so I would like to ask a few questions, some of them of a rather fundamental nature. [More…]
As is well known, the Australian Labor Party has supported an institution of this nature for some time. [More…]
The main difficulty ] see about it - 1 am rather astonished at the nature of the criticism from honourable members on the Government side - is that it is a pigmy in its initial conception. [More…]

When we think of the order of overseas investment in Australia and think of the $ 1,000m approximately that has been coming into Australia each year in recent years, we can see that what has been constituted is a corporation not of a gigantic size but one of a nature which I believe and which the Government believes will be able specifically to complement those other facilities that are available within the money mechanisms of this country. [More…]
I am thinking in terms of wool processing in the future - and to facilitate industrial development on a scale large enough to expand exports of an industrial nature on a world wide industrial competitive basis; to help earn foreign exchange and so assist our balance of payments situation which will need watching, according to the figures that have already been given to us projecting future requirements of foreign exchange into the 1970’s.

I emphasise that I make no criticism of the officers of the Commonwealth Department nor, indeed, of the department carrying out that particular policy, but it does seem to me quite proper to say that at this stage of our development the Commonwealth perhaps should be taking a greater particular interest in the carrying out of projects of this nature.

In this case this is continuing a practice that has been in existence as far as the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Authority is concerned, lt has worked well for a period of 20 years for the Authority and we hope that it will continue to operate in exactly the same way for the future, lt has not been unduly restrictive where the Authority has been operating in fields of a nature similar to those in which the Corporalion will be operating in the future.

The nature of these tariffs and other forms of protection that will come from this kind of work is the type of system existing in West Germany and Japan. [More…]
To believe that Australia is in some way a more protected country than Japan or West Germany is to misunderstand completely the sophisticated nature of the protection existing in those countries, lt is time we woke up to this sort of thing and realise that those who blithely talk about Australia being over protected apparently talk about Australia being over protected in relation, to Japan or some other country.

If a State has a large proportion of its activity directed to direct export activities and if it does not go through many hands - one can think, of course, of the great mineral States, the States from which the great exports are generated within the Commonwealth - there are fewer interchanges of goods and there are fewer chances to levy a tax of this nature.

Sometimes^ case is hawked around, in my own personal experience to as many as 24 different agencies of a public and benevolent nature, and still the basic cause of the problem is not identified or even resolved. [More…]

To a much greater degree the colleges of advanced education are, as I understand it, advised and defined, or should be defined, to cope with problems of a more applied nature - accounting courses, business management and matters of that kind and many other fields which would come to mind if one applied oneself to the task. [More…]
We have to regard this as of direct relevance to the question of the salaries of those people who work in them and also, perhaps, to some extent the nature of the buildings and the institutions which are being developed. [More…]
But in both of those categories it is absolutely essential that we should be paying as much as we can pay because we are talking here - and T make no bones about this or apologies for saying it - of the best qualified people hi the community in terms of educational qualifications; in terms of what should be paid for having a certificate or passing an examination or something ot that nature.

I think it would be wrong to end my speech on a Bill of this nature without again referring to the enormity of the tragedy of the Government’s venture into the purchase of an aircraft such as the Fill, for which we have now paid more than $200m and for which we are still meeting interest payments although we have not yet received one of the aircraft. [More…]
These are some of the reasons why the Opposition believes that a Bill of this nature deserves a far greater explanation and a more concise and objective explanation from the Minister for Defence, particularly when the Bill involves this kind of borrowing and having in mind the unhappy situation which has applied in this country in relation to the procurement of defence equipment overseas by this Government. [More…]

As far as I can tell from an examination of the regulations - I am the first to admit that the complex nature of the regulations makes it difficult to follow them completely - the House should reject this regulation because it expands the number of people who will be caught up in the system and it makes it a little more difficult for perhaps a small number of young Australians and I do not believe that is socially desirable or politically just.

In answer to the second part of the honourable gentleman’s question in which he asked, in effect, why this should have happened in view of the nature of the common fee system, let me say that I would have thought that it would have been perfectly obvious that the introduction of the common fee system - a system designed to achieve a much greater stability and uniformity of charging in the medical profession - would, in fact, in the first instance - that is, immediately after the scheme has been introduced - produce the results that it has produced, because for the first time we have over a range of nearly 2,000 medical services what might be described as an indicative fee.

My broad attitude is that if public censorship of any type is to be imposed - 1 think at this point in human social development there must be some forms of public censorship - it must be under virtually constant review and of a flexible nature. [More…]

[More…]
Unless the Government can provide some legitimate and reasonable excuse for adjourning the Parliament on that day, I believe the Opposition is carrying out its responsibility to the people of this country by protesting in the only way we can protest when the Government introduces a motion of this nature to suspend the 11 o’clock rule. [More…]
The amounts included for salaries and payments in the nature of salary represent Treasury estimates of the payments which will be made on the 11 pay days falling within the supply period. [More…]

[More…]
Why do we worship uncontrolled nature so much? [More…]
Why can it not make this information available to us even if it is of a confidential nature? [More…]

[More…]
Question 539, asked by the honourable member, was similar in nature and the reply to that question occupied 49 pages of Hansard (Hansard, 10.3.71, pp 762-810). [More…]

Of course, 1 am not referring to work of a classified nature. [More…]
If the honourable member saw 10 ships waiting in Port Adelaide in the last 2 years, most certainly he has been on a trip of some sort or been doing something of that nature. [More…]
In this chamber we scarcely examine taxation measures at all, yet there are many areas which are crying out for examination and the type of investigation which could be satisfactorily carried out only by a committee of the House, such as the regressive nature of income tax deductions; whether the tax deductions which are allowed should be from taxable income or from tax payable; whether income in kind should be included in taxable income; and the definition of an investor. [More…]
This neglect is caused partly by the annual nature of the Estimates, but chiefly by the archaic accounting style in which they are presented. [More…]
Plenty of amendments of a sensible nature have been moved but they have never been accepted by the Government. [More…]
By its very nature the aircraft industry - the defence aspect of it in particular - is subject to a fluctuating work load. [More…]
If Australia is more prompt in ratifying civil aviation treaties than in ratifying those relating to other forms of transport, it is largely because of the nature of the treaties themselves and their general applicability to Australia. [More…]
Many of the maritime conventions which have not been ratified by Australia have not yet gained sufficient support from other countries to bring them into force, whereas virtually all civil aviation conventions are of such a nature that they have received sufficiently wide support to bring them into force. [More…]
The honourable gentleman obviously recognises the complex and difficult nature of the kind of legislation that we intend to introduce into the House in order to take action one way or another against horizontal anticompetitive practices. [More…]
We hope that by so doing we will be setting an example in environmental matters of this nature because I am certain that in the months to come these conflicts of interest between conservation and economic development interests will be of growing importance to the nation. [More…]
The nature of the weapons used in Vietnam has produced many more multiple injuries, many more spinal cord injuries and many. [More…]
From the nature of their wounds they will qualify for TPI status. [More…]
It is only by doing something of this nature, looking at the problem in depth, that we will eventually get a taxation system which will be equitable and beneficial to the country. [More…]
One of the problems that we find in our daily discussions with people who have difficulties in regard to by-law entries is the time that is taken to get a decision and the nature of the decision when it is made. [More…]
Everyone, it seems, from the Minister down to growers’ industrial organisations, is more intent on pursuing petty side issues of a parochial nature instead of facing up squarely to the real problem. [More…]
The other item of a large nature is the payment to industries in respect of reduced returns in Australian currency arising from the devaluation of sterling and other currencies. [More…]
But I suppose that human nature being what it is, charity begins at home, and we have to remember this. [More…]
In my opinion it indicates the relatively harmless nature of marihuana in most people’s eyes. [More…]
This is not the first occasion on which something of this nature has occurred. [More…]
The fact that a surgeon has an assistant does not in any way change the nature of the service performed by the anaesthetist. [More…]
Whether it is desirable that the Landlord and Tenant Ordinance 1949-1957 be amended so as to make provisions for the recovery of premises other than prescribed premises, and if so what the nature of the provisions should be. [More…]
I suggest to the Minister that something in the nature of a joint committee should be set up to look properly into these matters, and that this proposed legislation should not be put through in the normal way because this House is not equipped to deal with legislation such as that to be found in the proposed draft code for the Commonwealth Territories. [More…]
As stated by the Prime Minister, the Government has not abandoned its aim of introducing new long term arrangements as soon as it is practicable to do so and the increase of $1.50 a day proposed in this Bill is in the nature of an interim measure to alleviate the financial difficulties which are now being experienced by nursing homes and their patients. [More…]
Because of the nature of the programmes, schools may be spending the money in building facilities which are not at the top of their list of priorities for capital expenditure. [More…]
It seems to me that the nature of the Federal contribution towards financing education should not be on a piecemeal basis. [More…]
The people have these qualifications because of the nature of this city, with its Public Service employment, the type of employment offered at the Australian National University, in the armed forces and in other institutions that require special skill, training and learning. [More…]
The question is: How do we increase the involvement of parents, remove authority from centralised bureaucracy; and, what is the real nature of education in a modern society? [More…]
Reforms of this nature are essential if the independent school system is to survive, if State schools are not to be flooded with pupils who would otherwise be educated in the independent school sector, and if the principle of support for the independent school system is to be given the full meaning we originally intended it to have. [More…]
In view of the fundamental nature of the project and the requirement that much new work should be undertaken, it is not anticipated that a major report would be available before mid- 1974. [More…]
The changes aim at legitimising again the unconscionable plundering of taxpayers’ money and contributors’ funds in health insurance schemes in an effort to camouflage the fraudulent nature of the Government’s grotesque voluntary health insurance programme. [More…]
The effective increase in demand after we have eliminated these unusual features - unusual in their nature because they are additional to previous rates for services under the scheme - was about 9.5 per cent and this does not include any allowance for population increase or for the abnormal upsurge in demand for compounding in the winter period, a point specifically referred to in the annual report of the Department of Health. [More…]
As a result, we know very little about the following: Firstly, the distribution and accessibility of general practitioners in poorer areas; secondly, the extent to which the poor are forced to use outpatients departments of public hospitals which are not designed to meet such needs; thirdly, the efficiency and economy of the use of outpatients departments by the poor; fourthly, the incidence of illness among the poor and the nature of this illness, especially chronic illness; fifthly, the connection between the ill health of the poor and the general pattern of their life style such as diet, hygiene, social and psychiatric problems and their promptness in seeking medical care; and, sixthly, the need to link health, education and social welfare services. [More…]
Act for the introduction of a health scheme of a compulsory nature, but that Act was challenged in the courts and found to be illegal. [More…]
I have no doubt that the Government will be considering and making a decision on matters of this nature in the future. [More…]
The agreement follows the usual form for projects of this nature. [More…]
We might well have then not only the film and television training school but also a post-graduate school of industrial design, a post-graduate Australian conservatorium, an opera school and, perhaps in the future, a ballet school and a national institute nf dramatic art conferred to the one site, all self-governing, all independent, yet by their nature interrelated and the activities of any one perhaps influencing the activities of others. [More…]
An Australia-wide systematic survey of the available recreational open space has never been made, nor have reliable estimates ever been attempted of the nature and scope of future demands. [More…]
Clear ministerial responsibility must be established for the planning and use of land and other natural resources and the conservation of nature. [More…]

The Opposition is concerned that reports of this nature are being tabled in the Parliament and no opportunity is being given to debate them. [More…]
1 hope that in the near future the Prime Minister (Mr McMahon) and the Government will give serious consideration to making statements when reports of this nature are tabled so that honourable members can debate the merits of the reports. [More…]
It must be recognised that any substantia] extension of institutions and procedures for the formal review of administrative action will in the nature of things add materially both to the time taken in the administrative process and to the costs it entails. [More…]
The Committee also considered the publication of Hansard, taking a special interest in the nature of the daily and weekly Hansards. [More…]
This will not only change the nature of the Hansard from that of a reference document to a news item, but should also enable it to be produced somewhat more economically as revenue from sales should offset production costs to a greater extent than at present. [More…]
If we had compulsory acquisition we would not have this yeast of EWP or anything of a similar nature working in the industry to bring about the changes to which the honourable member for Dawson so rightly referred. [More…]
In a sense, its purpose is largely of a welfare nature. [More…]
I would hope that it can be made abundantly clear that this scheme is in the nature of a one year holding operation to allow individuals, industry leaders and the Government a few precious months in which to formulate and apply appropriate courses of action. [More…]
The open ended nature of the scheme could thus not only prove very expensive but is also another strong argument for strict adhesion to its one year operation. [More…]
What is envisaged here is in the nature of a bounty and what we are suggesting is that the bounty could be more equitably distributed. [More…]
la the words of my friend the honourable member for Eden-Monaro, even if it means having something in the nature of- a means test, means tests are not unknown on the other side of the House either. [More…]
Here he sits and here he will cast his vote tonight in favour of the measure now before this House, without any qualms or thought or anything of that nature. [More…]
On several occasions I have pointed out to the House that because of the nature of the criteria some whom we believed to be in genuine need were excluded from eligibility simply because of the inclusion of a means test. [More…]
It is not possible to specify any number for extemporaneously-prepared benefits, due to the varied nature of such benefits which doctors are able to prescribe. [More…]
The honourable member will appreciate that the issues involved are of a complex nature but notwithstanding (his, some progress has been made towards finalisation of the review. [More…]
It is not true that the Navy is dumping in Sydney Harbour anything of the nature that the honourable member has mentioned. [More…]
Honourable members have been aware of the general nature of these resolutions. [More…]
Nothing of this nature will be found in central Australia. [More…]

With regard to the detailed application of the policy, a distinction can be made between overseas investment in Australian bank shares of a portfolio nature and overseas investment with a view to exercising an influence over an Australian bank. [More…]
But without the scheme I fear for what might happen in some of the areas because the nature of the soil in these areas is similar to that in the areas which are covered by the Bill we are discussing tonight. [More…]
He used one or two other terms of that nature. [More…]
The real answer, of course, is of a political nature. [More…]
Australia has made this contribution which has been of a practical nature but once again far too little and far too late. [More…]
Some of this information, such as from a low trajectory missile, is of such a nature that action must be taken within split seconds if there is to be any effective defence. [More…]
Others are of a more long term nature, and some, regrettably, will be dependent on the provision of additional resources, both financial and manpower, which may not be readily available. [More…]
This is only the tip of the iceberg; the fact that there were 22 injuries of this nature confirms that there was a measure of substance to the allegations, that it is most fortunate that these practices were exposed, and that Judge Rapke conducted his investigation and recommended measures designed to eliminate them. [More…]
I agree with what the Minister has said about the comprehensive nature of the investigation and the dedication of Judge Rapke during the whole course of his investigation into what were at that time and, I believe the Minister would agree, still are very serious allegations. [More…]
In relation to the First and Second Schedules I detailed at some length the nature of the changes when I introduced the relevant Tariff Proposals. [More…]
One would hope that, although it is not in the nature of an appeal as I read the Bill, it would obviate some of the risk taken in trying to go to the High Court, which as I said before, is a long way away. [More…]
But the questions would be of such a nature and likely to recur with such melancholy frequency as to increase beyond suitable bounds the work load of the High Court in its constitutional supervisory role in relation to officers of the Commonwealth. [More…]
I do not propose to refer to the nature of those amendments now. [More…]
To assist widows who are purchasing homes under the scheme and who are in necessitous circumstances there is a relief scheme of a most sympathetic nature to reduce the burden of repayments and home maintenance to a level which they can meet even in the lowest ebb of their financial worry. [More…]
One matter I would like to refer to briefly is the nature of assistance given by the War Service Homes Division. [More…]
In addition to the loan funds of $485m allocated to the Home Builders Accounts, additional moneys amounting to approximately $120m have become available for lending due to the revolving nature of the Accounts. [More…]
the nature of the changes needed, and indeed the necessity of changes at all, may take on a rather different aspect. [More…]
I believe that such a committee would not reflect on those already appointed, but by its very nature it would be approved of by all interested people. [More…]
After all, it is a simple fact that if we cannot provide all those necessities we not only will create unnecessary problems and suffering of an acute nature for people already in Australia but also will seriously aggravate the situation as more people come in. [More…]
On Friday I travelled by helicopter with the State Minister along this coastline - easily the smallest operation of this nature being conducted in the area is that being conducted by the Commonwealth. [More…]
Here I refer to the Hornby light, and the buildings which are associated with it, which could be allowed to remain because of the- very historic nature of them. [More…]
I support that decision because I believe that people who live in places like Sydney, which has a high population density, must have the opportunity to get away from the box-like structures which various developers put up and get into areas of recreation where they can commune with nature, fish or do whatever they like to do. [More…]
All extraneous utterances, whatever their source or nature, would be ignored. [More…]
The power that this Parliament possesses today is utterly inadequate for the responsibilities which are cast upon it and it seems to me to be in the nature of a massive charade that the Parliament is asked to deal with disputes in this sector of ‘he economy or in this part of the continent when in essence and in truth the Parliament has no power. [More…]
In view of the nature of the production of wool, could he inform me what methods could be used to achieve such production limitations and whether any plans for such production limitations are being considered? [More…]
This is quite a common approach to problems of this nature. [More…]

I think it is important that we have clearly in our minds the real nature of the issues we are discussing. [More…]
The third issue, which is of far greater significance than either of the first 2, concerns the fundamental principles underlying the Government’s policy in relation to the defence of South East Asia and its understanding of the nature of its responsibilities to the people of South East Asia. [More…]
Because of the nature of the inquiry, 1 believe that the Prime Minister should have been aware of it sooner. [More…]
Mr Speaker, it is not uncommon for government departments themselves to engage outside consultants and to do so in regard to matters of a confidential nature. [More…]
I fully acknowledge that in his capacity as the shadow Minister in this field he has every opportunity, and certainly takes advantage of it, to deal with matters of this nature. [More…]
Whilst problems of a commercial and industrial nature may arise from time to time within any organisation, I think it has been acknowledged that the standard of operation, services and reliability of Qantas is without betterment by any other international airline operator in the world today. [More…]
I am one who believes that something in the nature of a lodge should bc provided for the Minister for the Interior in the Australian Capital Territory. [More…]
At present, cedrus deodara and cedrus atlanticus are growing on the centre nature strips in these avenues. [More…]
They should never have planted on the centre nature strips in those avenues cedrus deodara which, at maturity, have a horizontal span of the branches at the base of SO to 60 ft. [More…]
It would be better if the nature strip were planted with shrubs of low growth. [More…]
I am sure that my Department will take note of his views regarding the various varieties of shrubs and trees that he has recommended should be planted in the nature strips in Canberra. [More…]
Initially the Commonwealth Police were given authority to pay him the money as requested; this is not unusual in matters of this nature. [More…]
Had this letter appeared in some cheap rag like the Melbourne ‘Truth’ or something of that nature I would have dismissed it. [More…]
th= newspaper in my area is quick to check on any letter of a controversial nature to ensure that the person purporting to have written it actually did write it and forward it. [More…]
This is an established trait of human nature. [More…]
In many respects the colleges are facing problems of the same nature as universities and it is in the national interest that these problems should be critically examined and the Government provided with expert advice on possible courses of action to be taken. [More…]
The other clauses of the Bill are of a machinery nature and arise from the creaation of the position of Deputy Chairman, the change in name and the provisions for nominated members and Ministers of the House of Assembly. [More…]

As I understand it, the last official contribution of a public nature published by this Department in 1967 had this to say: [More…]
I have slanted my remarks a little tonight towards fuel and power because of the nature of the amendment. [More…]
We are one of the luckiest countries because the resources we have were given us by nature. [More…]
I want to illustrate a few points which are more in the nature of questions to the Minister for National Development (Mr Swartz) than anything else. [More…]
That is the general nature of the expenditure we are told is necessary to be incurred on the people occupying these ministerial posts. [More…]
When the time comes, if it ever comes, for the honourable member for Sturt to make a trip I suggest that he will find that such a trip as those which are planned for members of the Parliament - generally of a fact finding nature - are exhausting and demanding in the extreme but, nevertheless, highly rewarding. [More…]
So this matter is of a very grave nature. [More…]
In relation to part (3) can he say whether any non-Aboriginals were given economic rights over the land affected and, if they were, can he also say (a) what was the nature of these rights and (b) if the rights were extended to (i) local and [More…]
The purpose of this Bill is to obtain further supply under the appropriations for salaries and payments in the nature of salary for all departments, for war and service pensions and allowances and for certain other services amounting to $138,215,000 and will enable these services to be met until the moneys provided in the Appropriation Bill No. [More…]
1) for salaries and payments in the nature of salary is inadequate. [More…]
The trouble with systems analysis is that an elaborate superstructure is often built on the most flimsy foundations - the flimsy foundation in this case being the nature of the threat which these ships will have to counter. [More…]
We do not envisage an immediate threat of this nature, however. [More…]
Therefore, there appears to be no requirement at this time for us to feel impelled to control, or even decisively influence any part of the Indian Ocean or its littoral, given the nature of our interests there and the current level of Soviet and Chinese involvement. [More…]
Items of a capital nature which are deemed to be aids for production are eligible for a capital subsidy, but training aids such as switchboard monitors are not. [More…]
There have been occasions on which I have disagreed with the views expressed and the method of expressing them on those 2 programmes, but I hope the day will never come when programmes of this nature are dominated by political parties. [More…]
This will, unfortunately, entail work of a very extensive nature and, because of the magnitude of the task of providing new cable for quite a considerable distance, together with the large pro gramme of other new works to be undertaken, present indications are that this particular project will not be completed for about eighteen months. [More…]
He raised the old problem which has confronted the Post Office for many years and which has been discussed in debates of this nature over a long period. [More…]
I point out that 134 of these incidents occurred in Victoria, but in 69 cases, most of which could be classed as minor in nature, the offender was not detected. [More…]
By way of comparison, in New South Wales 111 pollution incidents were reported and in 86 cases the offender was detected, there being only 25 incidents, again mostly minor in nature, where the offender was not detected. [More…]
I remind honourable members of the current Press reports which show the critical nature of the situation in Pakistan. [More…]
A vacuum has been left and because nature abhors a vacuum it is filled by overseas interests. [More…]
But that was not the nature of the question; the question concerned hot money. [More…]
It has become a popular sport throughout the world to decry the efforts of the Americans at a time when America appears to be bedevilled by self doubt and racked with self criticism, when the leadership of that country is attacked by elements seeking to destroy a system which by its democratic nature, allows such elements to exist, when there is a greater persuasion to retreat to an isolationist role than for many years. [More…]
I mentioned at the beginning of this speech that one of the factors adding to the rapidly changing nature of the region is the position of the newly independent - or about to be independent - states within the region. [More…]
But our potential should make it just as plain that some day we will play a role as a great power in our region, and in this we have one abiding advantage which is dictated as much by nature as by our good intentions. [More…]
Secondly, most children’s dental requirements are of a limited nature and a fully qualified dentist is not required; in fact, using dentists alone would be a wasteful employment of highly skilled manpower. [More…]
He had not, therefore, been invested with Federal jurisdiction by the Matrimonial Causes Act, and any order of a judicial nature made by him in the purported exercise of Federal jurisdiction was a nullity. [More…]
The result is that they face financial difficulties of a very stringent nature. [More…]
Because of its all pervading nature, income tax is the most important economic policy weapon available to the Commonwealth and it is also a very important instrument in redistributing income and in implementing other social policies. [More…]
Honourable members will appreciate, from the brief summary I have given, that this Bill embraces a wide range of matters, the majority of which are of a beneficial nature, effecting a number of desirable improvements in the War Service Homes Scheme. [More…]
I gave an answer to the question which was really non-controversial and was so trivial in nature that 1 am unable to understand how any news agency could have gone to the trouble of cabling it. [More…]
Surely it must be recognised that wage inflation derives much of its impetus from protection of this nature. [More…]
If ever a country needed something of this nature to open it up and to provide the means of transport at fair, reasonable and economic rates it is Australia and the Commonwealth Government should be giving the lead. [More…]
With all respect to the- Minister, scarcely anything at all of a definitive nature was said about it this evening. [More…]
That, bluntly, is the nature of things; and the Government ignores it at the peril of us all. [More…]
It should he noted that the financial statements accompanying the interim report are also of an interim nature. [More…]
We believe that it is essential to protect the recreational nature and peace of Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park both now and for the future. [More…]
I ask the Prime Minister whether the Government has formed any view about the establishment of a system of standing committees in this chamber and, if so, what broadly it would conceive to be the desirable nature of such a system. [More…]
The members of the Senate are discharging their obligations as senators, both to the nation and to the people but we are not, with respect, doing this because the very nature of the apparatus that we have which makes it impossible for us to do it. [More…]

In the inner suburban areas which are part of my electorate are uninteresting land masses which nature has left unadorned, but also which man in his buildings has made, if not beautiful to the trained eye, at least exciting and entertaining to those who enjoy novelty and variety. [More…]
When the first Minister for Housing in this Government, the honourable member for Wentworth (Mr Bury), who held the portfolio in 1964 and 1965, and the former Minister for Housing, Dame Annabelle Rankin, introduced measures of this nature, and particularly legislation associated with the home savings grants scheme, they issued explanatory memoranda which to some extent enabled people who were interested in a Bill to understand it a little better. [More…]
1 should add in relation to the third part of the question that we are concerned to keep under close observation the nature of the capital inflow, lt is not easy to do this, because once the money comes in it gels disseminated and it is not possible always to know the ultimate destination of that money. [More…]
Did Economic Wool Producers Ltd recently complete its second sale of wool using selling methods of a very different nature from the traditional open auction method? [More…]
In the nature of injuries afflicted the Vietnam war was one of the most terrible in history. [More…]

With these observations about the nature of Australia’s future role in Indo-China, I move the following addition to the resolution before the House: [More…]
Some members of this Party more than others were singled out for special mention and in a debate of this nature today I do not think it would be proper for me to pass by the opportunity to mention 2 members on this side in particular, the honourable member for Lalor (Dr J. F. Cairns) and the honourable member for Reid (Mr Uren), who stood up to a terrific battering as to their integrity, loyalty and courage from honourable members opposite because of their opposition to this conflict. [More…]
Because of the nature of the loan, it being a repatriation benefit, it is not a loan in the ordinary sense secured upon a certificate of title of a property. [More…]
I seriously suggest that this is something which might be looked intoI know that perhaps in certain circumstances the Director of War Service Homes may be sympathetic in permitting a second mortgage but I have known of a lot of cases in which this has become a problem because of the nature of the security required for a second mortgage. [More…]
The preparation of a Bill on such a complex and important matter may take some time, but the Government proposes that, as soon as it is in a position to do so, it will announce the nature of the changes that it has decided to make the legislation. [More…]
Such is the state of the economy and the affluent nature of the Government’s finances, yet last year it obliged ex-servicemen to queue in order to borrow money at high rates of interest, lt kept them waiting for 6 months for war service loans. [More…]

Whatwork hasbeen declared, by notice published in the Commonwealth Gazette, to be of a civiladministrative or civilclerical nature forthe purposes of Section 42of the NavalDefence Act? [More…]
There has not as yet been any work declared by notice published in the Gazette of a civil administrative or civil clerical nature for the purposes of section 42 of the Naval Defence Act. [More…]

But in my opinion the present way in which grants of this nature are made is too haphazard. [More…]
He also raised the question of how long we could expect to have a Bill of this nature coming into the national Parliament. [More…]
I think it is fairly clear that even at this late stage that the Opposition does not understand the purpose and nature of this piece of legislation. [More…]
I say that the Opposition does not understand the very nature of this legislation for 2 reasons: firstly, because of the amendments that were inserted into the legislation in the Senate and the manner in which those amendments were inserted - the illconcieved nature and the poor drafting of some of them; secondly, because of some of the speeches that have been made tonight. [More…]
It is a form of legislation creating a criminal offence which places members of the business community in a situation where, because of the vague nature of the proposed offence, which involves a subjective element they do not know whether they have committed an offence until a jury finally has brought in a verdict and they find that perhaps for some years, although they may have been advised to the contrary, they have been committing an offence. [More…]
If these amendments are accepted the Bill will retain as an examinable practice supply on discriminatory terms procured by a buyer who is exercising undue threats or promises in the nature of inducement but it will not deal with the case of a seller. [More…]
It would not be in the national interest to discuss further the size and nature of these operations. [More…]
Because of the nature of these tax avoid ance measures, it is just not possible for people in the lower income group to benefit from them. [More…]
They are extracting the subsidy from the community; they do not need this subsidy at the taxpayers’ expense Secondly, because of the limited life or the exhaustible nature of our resources in this country, there must be a reassessment of our approach to the extraction of what are limited mineral resources in this country. [More…]
The Commonwealth examination is of such a nature that it is biased towards those students whose parents have the time to sit around the dinner table at night discussing current affairs issues or where the mother does not work and accordingly can talk to her sons or daughters about such subjects or, again, w,here there is tertiary education in the household. [More…]
The fact that so many measures come before the Parliament each year shows the unsatisfactory nature of the piecemeal solutions at which we have arrived. [More…]
In many respects I have often believed this sort of thing to be in the nature of internal bookkeeping rather than as a substantial argument about proper allocation of functions. [More…]
Many of them are in the nature of welfare services. [More…]
The point I am coming to is that this indebtedness by local government authorities and semi-government authorities is used on capital works, such as the construction of buildings, the purchase of land for open space, and the provision of drainage, bridges, roads, freeways and other works of a capital nature. [More…]
This is illogical because a scheme of this nature is primarily a welfare measure. [More…]
I want to emphasise again that I agree with the Deputy Leader of the Opposition than there is too much of a short term nature in the whole way that the amounts are worked out. [More…]
I will not go into the detail of what goes on in these centres or clubs as I think that honourable members will be aware of the nature of their activities. [More…]
There is a makeshift hospital on Cape Barren Island but there have been no nursing services even of an itinerant nature for some years. [More…]

However, one could put it to the Government that, given the nature of this problem and the broadness with which it occurs within the community - not in a narrow area related only to the Customs Department - and given the legislative authority which the Federal Government undoubtedly has, one would have expected a comprehensive approach by the Government. [More…]
This gives an indication of the essential nature of the problem before us, a nature which has been scarcely touched at all by the approach of the Minister in the presentation of this Bill. [More…]

A document relating to public affairs quoted from by a Minister, unless stated to be of a confidential nature . [More…]
It is not enough, therefore, to argue that it is a document relating to public affairs because the standing order states: ‘Unless stated to be of a confidential nature’. [More…]

[More…]
Here is a case where the Prime Minister has stated that this letter is either of a confidential nature - it is a private letter - or that it is not in the public interest that the whole of it should be revealed. [More…]

[More…]
This is the broad nature of the Opposition’s case against the merger which the Government seems to have in mind. [More…]
But, as I say, it is not easy because certain components of a highly technical nature cannot be produced in Australia, or else Australian production is not warranted because of the increased costs. [More…]

Tariff provides the opportunity for planning and indeed we have altered, as I say, the course of economic nature. [More…]

[More…]
The basic problem as I see it is that there is a difference between an established industry in which the resources are established and which has an infrastructure built round it - there might be communities, cities or towns, and any decision of a major nature can affect the whole economic life of that community - and an infant industry, a new industry starring up under the umbrella of protection. [More…]
As far as I can ascertain, the States will have an expenditure of a capital nature in this financial year of about $220m on the public sector of education. [More…]

However I believe that from year to year it should be possible to have presented to us in the House information on how the States did spend grants of a capital nature in the previous year. [More…]
In point of fact we are beginning to get schools of a private nature, which are not greater public schools, that are actually educationally experimental. [More…]

[More…]
The Association contended that other instruments should not be moved at all because of their delicate nature, and mentioned ophthalmic and optical instruments especially. [More…]

In all three Services there are provisions of an administrative nature, for example, requiring certain majorities of the members of a court martial to agree upon it, before imposing a sentence of death. [More…]

The 5-Power arrangements recognise the nature of power in the Asian region today. [More…]
If we are talking about something that is of an urgent nature which requires the suspension of Standing Orders, what we mean is that, for some reason, new circumstances or some particularly critical factors have emerged which means that a measure which, in this instance, came before the House last session should be brought forward tonight so that we can debate it. [More…]
The problems are of a nature which needs careful and collective examination with all the facts in hand that it is possible to glean. [More…]
I believe that the procedures of this House have allowed the honourable member at any time he saw fit the opportunity to move a motion of this nature if he so desired. [More…]

In other words, what I want to point out is the way in which question time in this House is being steadily eroded by questions of a frivolous nature and questions which waste the time of the House when what we should be doing here is building up the reputation and status of the House to make it the great national forum that it should be. [More…]
Perhaps it is not totally convincing but the argument is that in current circumstances and in view of the nature of the job to be done the commissioner will with a small staff be responsible for the whole operation; that it is a small system and it is not appropriate at this stage at least to have a representative commission, in other words, to overload the apple cart and to have a heavy administrative structure to administer something which at the moment is specifically a teaching service operating for a relatively small number of teachers. [More…]
The important thing is that whilst the numbers of teachers and students involved are not as great as are usually involved in a State teaching service, there is greater diversity in nature than any other teaching set-up in Australia. [More…]
In view- of the nature of the task involved I think there is justification for more than one commissioner to be in control. [More…]
All over Australia a concerted attempt has been made to throw off the domination of the Public Service Board, not because of any personal dislike of members of the Board but because it is recognised that the province of responsibility, the nature of responsibility or the diversity of responsibility of Public Service Boards - whether they be State boards or, in this case, the Commonwealth Public Service Board - have extended enormously. [More…]

[More…]
The nature of that equipment is a matter for discussion and decision by the Council and the Director of the Institute but I am able to say that the Government has accepted, in principle, the need for an approximately 80-foo’ research vessel. [More…]
A further point of a technical nature is the failure to specify adequately the necessity for a mode of service of a direction under new section 12e to attend a compulsory conference. [More…]

But disputes of this nature are not going to be solved if people like the Premier of Victoria say, while the dispute is on, that they will refer the matter to arbitration and then, when arbitration takes place, say they are not going to take any notice of the decision until later - in this case September. [More…]
The legislation is insidious in its nature in the precedent it will set and in the industrial electoral manoeuvering which the Government is now commencing for the purpose of this year’s election, lt sets precedents of industrial terminology which are unacceptable to any person in organised labour. [More…]
I notice that the Minister’s statement refers to the experimental nature of the permit, with future permits being governed by the United States approving Qantas or Qantair operations on exactly the same terms and conditions as United States charter operations. [More…]
The situation in Western Australia has been made more complex in recent months due to the fall off in airline traffic growth rates and the general slowing down of a temporary nature - how temporary it is we do not know - of mining development in the north western part of Western Australia. [More…]

If it is accepted that the Commissioner is in a position to take a subjective view, as it has been called, of someone’s suitability or unsuitability at a particular time, it can be accepted that at that time the man may be inept or unbalanced or something of that nature and I certainly would not gainsay that particular point. [More…]
The investigations indicated that there were on the premises of the Rhodesian Information Centre 5 films and a certain quantity of printed booklets, leaflets and material of this nature. [More…]
It would be interesting to know whether they would take positive action of a legislative nature or in some other form to halt the present discussions or negotiations between Thomas Nationwide Transport Ltd and Ansett Transport Industries Ltd.

A fortnight ago I asked the Minister for Education and Science whether he himself had succeeded in estimating the cost or whether he had commissioned the Policy and Development Division of his Department to estimate the cost of providing all eligible children in Australia with pre-school education of the nature and standard now provided in the Australian Capital Territory and he replied that information available to him indicated that the capital cost alone would be SI 60m if not more. [More…]
It is true to say that in the past fair and reasonable men and women have expressed doubts as to the nature and conduct of the war in Vietnam. [More…]
This is not because of something in the nature of the people. [More…]
Although these aspects are ones to which I give only passing reference, the very nature of the Vietnam involvement mitigated against raising a volunteer army. [More…]
Responsibility must be accepted by the Commonwealth, and there must be a reassessment of the relationships between the Commonwealth and State governments and the nature of the grants and loans that are given if we are effectively to plan our community for the benefit of man and see that we all receive a reasonable share of the community wealth and enjoyment as we should. [More…]
Of course, I cannot indicate the departments concerned, because these committees of Government, based as they are on authority of the Cabinet, are all of a confidential nature and report only to the Governments. [More…]
I point out to the Minister for Social Services that I believe what I have to say is of a constructive nature. [More…]
Of course we would like the inflow of finance capital to be in the form of loans, but human nature being what it is the people with the capital wish to take advantage of their equity. [More…]
I do not think that Opposition attacks of this nature will damage the reputation of this Minister who has in mind the needs of the people of Australia generally. [More…]
Plutonium 238 does not occur in nature - it is man-made. [More…]
Further to that, the problem had been created of the Board having to use research staff, and there was concern in the industry that material of a confidential nature may be obtained by them. [More…]
In the electorate I represent almost every industry is subject to tariff protection of a fairly substantial nature and unemployment would quickly reach the total population of the area, except for public servants if there are any still on the payroll, should tariff protection be cut out on the basis that some honourable members have advocated. [More…]
Any man who comes into this House and condemns a senior Minister for attending a meeting of this nature in some other part of the world does not really realise the situation that exists throughout the world today. [More…]

Increases occurred in semi-governmental borrowing programmes - those of the electricity trusts and semi-governmental instrumentalities of that nature. [More…]
It is for this reason that I would like to look into the future and say how important I think it is for the governments of this nature - I am being consistent in what I have said in this House two or three times previously - to be involved with the important facets of our community existence such as the formation of this provincial centre. [More…]
Firstly, we thought that it was inappropriate that a major policy change of this nature should be made by regulation. [More…]
He has assured me that no statement of that nature was made at the meeting. [More…]
Let us indicate to the electors that the matter that has agitated them to the, point of walking the streets and knocking on doors in order to enlist the aid of sympathetic people about their cause is considered to be of such a nature in this Parliament that the petitions which they tender will receive consideration by somebody with some authority in the Parliament. [More…]
If the matter is of a major nature, as is the proposal submitted by the honourable member for Corio, I think that the Standing Orders Committee should consider the matter carefully before it is presented to this House. [More…]
Mr SCHOLES (Corio) - I seek leave to reply in view of the nature of the debate. [More…]
It may be true that some of the petitions that come to this Parliament might be considered to be of a trifling nature. [More…]
If they do, we will overcome the difficulty that arises because of the time-absorbing nature of the procedures for the presentation of petitions. [More…]
Unless we can achieve a practice of adopting decent attitudes and procedures and having respect for members in the very nature of debate, there is no doubt that we will have little chance of getting the reformation of the Standing Orders that we need. [More…]
As I recall the figures, the productivity increase during the year 1970-71 compared with the previous year was only 1.4 per cent and that, of course, is an appalling level of productivity growth, having regard to the essential nature of the inflationary spiral. [More…]
In view of the fact that overseas firms and agents can buy equity interests in Australian companies, thereby acquiring not only profits but also some influence on the operations of such companies, will the Prime Minister consider the implementation of policies designed to broaden the scope and nature of overseas investments by Australian residents to allow them to acquire equity interests in overseas companies, particularly those operating in Australia but not listed on Australian stock exchanges? [More…]
Can the Minister say what was the nature and purpose of such an exercise? [More…]

Special provisions are included in the Income Tax Assessment Act to assist petroleum explorers because of the high risk nature of the industry. [More…]
That is always my approach to problems of this nature. [More…]
To show the nature of the Pavelic government I produce now a publication called “This is Artukovic’. [More…]
The isolated nature of the instances cited is clear evidence that they are exceptional cases. [More…]
However, basically the totality of the economy is still mainly of a subsistence nature. [More…]
This has been attacked by the honourable member for Riverina, but I do not think that the attack can be given much credence for obviously it is a most responsible action on the part of the Government to review a scheme of this nature, to see how it is working and, if there are certain problems or actions that should be taken, not to wait too long to correct them, or reorganise or re-aim - if I may use that word - the objects of the scheme. [More…]
Not only is it important to talk about rural reconstruction and other schemes designed to assist rural industry, but it is important also to realise that the rural reconstruction scheme or any other scheme of a similar nature cannot operate and be successful unless the primary producers in this country get a reasonable return for that which they produce. [More…]
Because of the nature of farming, a farmer does not receive a quick return on his investment. [More…]
The Government has bad 5 years in which to do something about the Navigation Act, but it has not done anything of a substantial nature. [More…]
Will the Prime Minister invite Archbishop Loane to supply him with a report on the degree and nature of hardship suffered by certain sections of the community in the Sydney diocese, derived from the information available through the welfare and pastoral services of his church, with a view to providing appropriate and more adequate aid to those who are suffering hardship? [More…]
It is a fact that military operations of a supersonic nature have taken place fairly extensively both for training purposes and also for moving aircraft out of Australia for operational purposes. [More…]
There have been extensive operations of a supersonic nature over certain areas of Australia, as well as over water, although, of course, for obvious reasons I think that most of the operations take place in areas closest to the sea. [More…]
Blends of this nature are subject to government regulations in major meat consuming countries, but the controls are aimed mainly at ensuring accuracy in labelling rather than at limiting the usage of simulated meats. [More…]
A speech of I his nature should not simply be a catalogue of what the Bill itself contains. [More…]
We believe that there are certain matters which arise in industrial disputes that, because of their very nature, should not be determined on a piecemeal basis. [More…]
On balance, we are now of the view that disadvantages and practical problems associated with amendments of the nature we had in mind could outweigh the advantages. [More…]
The Bill shows clearly the total and detailed nature of the review of the Conciliation and Arbitration Act that the Government has carried out. [More…]
One of the reasons for the inordinately high Australian cost is the nature of the manning scales. [More…]
Statements of the general course and method by which the functions of such a federal agency are channelled and determined, including the nature and requirement of all formal and informal procedures, have to be made available. [More…]
Because of speeches he made about moratorium campaigns at that time in Sydney he was disciplined and steps of a punitive nature were taken against him under what I call notorious regulation 34 (b). [More…]
This has been part and parcel of the capital intensive nature of operating most agricultural holdings, and of course this is also true of almost every other sector of primary industry. [More…]
Our history shows that events of this nature have been rare indeed. [More…]
That does not mean to say that I am going to support an indiscretion of this nature. [More…]
The amounts included for salaries and payments in the nature of salary represents estimates of the payments which will be made at existing rates of pay and employment levels over the 11 pay days falling within the supply period. [More…]

Although the nature of a scientific breakthrough cannot be firmly predicted, competent scientists can often give a fairly clear indication of areas in which breakthroughs may occur if adequate finance and efforts are applied. [More…]
But nature, with the cruelty for which she is so capably equipped, then brought the floods. [More…]
I am quite sure, after the deplorable performance of Government supporters this afternoon in spending 2 hours discussing an off-chance statement by a paid officer of the New South Wales Branch pf the Australian Labor Party, that if any honourable member on this side of the House had been engaged in anything of this nature, the Government would still be talking about it, if one took as a classic example its performance in this place last week in relation to Vietnam. [More…]
Standing Order 64 provides that if I obtain leave from the Chair I might be given an opportunity to explain matters of a personal nature. [More…]
If we consider natural gas from a national viewpoint, the interstate and Commonwealth wide nature of this new source of energy becomes quite apparent. [More…]
It is true that the operation of any levy scheme which is essentially beneficial by nature is designed to enable producers, as a result of research which is financed with levy collections, to sell their products a little more favourably than might otherwise have been the case. [More…]
And yet, as I have said, at the very same time Lord Casey was confiding to his diary and, one must assume to Prime Minister Menzies at least, his real view about the nature of the Viet Minh and the impossibility of a military solution in Indo-China. [More…]
This simply shows the diverse ways in which nature can wreak destruction, particularly so far as Queensland is concerned. [More…]
Liberal Government in office, we as Australians and our government play pur part in bringing salvation to people throughput the world by way of aid and things of that nature. [More…]
357 which deals with the Electoral Branch and with other matters such as salaries and payments in the nature of salaries to electoral officers. [More…]
What was the (a) nature and (b) value of the assistance sought in each case. [More…]
The discussions which take place range over a large number of matters and because of the continuing nature of these discussions they cannot be categorised in the manner suggested. [More…]
However, the Acting Postmaster-General did indicate publicly what the decision of Cabinet was, that additional power to control Sunday morning telecasting could be given to the Board so that telecasts at that time would conform to a standard developed by the Board, namely that Sunday morning might be given to the particular considerations of minority interests or groups within the community, to religious services and items of that nature. [More…]
Will the Prime Minister invite Archbishop Loane to supply him with a report on the degree and nature of hardship suffered by certain sections of the community in the Sydney diocese, derived from information available through the welfare and pastoral services of his Church, with a view to providing appropriate and more adequate aid to those who are suffering hardship? [More…]
So what in fact occurs in the Melbourne poverty survey is a gross understatement of the extent and the nature of poverty in this community. [More…]
Changes proposed by the Government, which I will shortly outline in more detail, affect principally the base period provisions, the range of items eligible for grant, the treatment of salaries and wages of employees engaged for part of the year on industrial research and development, the treatment of plant expenditure, and conditions governing eligibility of companies for grants, as well as a number of amendments of an administrative nature designed to strengthen and clarify certain areas of the Act’s operation. [More…]
Plant by its nature warrants special treatment. [More…]
Experience with the current Act has brought to light some areas where improvements of a lesser or administrative nature could be effected in addition to the major matters to which 1 have already referred. [More…]
They demand that every opportunity is given to Government and to the widest possible range of interested parties to put their views to the Commission when matters of this nature are being determined by it. [More…]
In it he made remarks that show the sinister nature of this legislation. [More…]
By its very nature wage fixing by collective bargaining virtually destroys the concept of equal pay for work of equal value. [More…]
I consider that amendments to the Conciliation and Arbitration Act and to other Acts of this nature probably are some of the most important issues dealt with by any Australian parliament because throughout Australia, not only the parliaments but also, I believe, the people believe in the system of conciliation and arbitration. [More…]
It is not easy and it is not in the nature of the task to be able to please all points of view on every occasion. [More…]
Mr Holgate, because of the sensitive nature of commentary on election matters at this time, is not actively associated with the day to day running of T.D.T., but is working on general matters answerable to me. [More…]
The Leader of the Opposition knows that the nature of the reply is in the hands of the Minister. [More…]
This would apply to all open spaces such as Capital Hill, City Hill, median strips, nature strips and other vacant land. [More…]
It has become increasingly apparent that to give full effect to this policy the independent schools need assurances for the future, including assistance of a capital nature as well as continuing help with running costs on a basis that will take positive account of cost increases. [More…]
This new measure of Commonwealth capital grants for both government and independent schools will be the subject of legislation for specific purpose payments of a capital nature to the States. [More…]
I am sorry that I have to stand here during the Committee stage of the Bill, Mr Deputy Chairman, and endeavour to point this out to the Government and to a Minister who thinks nothing of grabbing almost $40,000 a year of the taxpayers’ money and who wants to force through a Bill of this nature the purpose of which is to deny a proper and just salary to the majority members of the community. [More…]
He said that I had double standards because I support an increase in the wages of those on the minimum wage and those who are generally in receipt of an award wage, but I do not necessarily support an increase of the nature proposed by this clause and I do not support the proposition that the income of medical practitioners should be increased. [More…]
The very nature and the effects of the amendments contained in the Bill make it patently clear that either the Government has no knowledge or appreciation of what is required to improve employer and union relationships or it has deliberately set a course that not only will further aggravate the existing position but also will bring about a situation in which it will be well nigh impossible for unions and employers working in concert to prevent minor issues from becoming major stoppages. [More…]
I also indicate to honourable members that in the course of the Committee stage of this Bill I shall be moving certain amendments, most of which, I think it is fair to say, are of a technical nature. [More…]
It is part of the Government’s policy that the nature of the traditional banking system be retained. [More…]
Action of any general kind to restrain or reduce the growth of foreign ownership and control will carry implications in a number of fields - introduction of technical know-how, for example - which stem from the nature of direct investment. [More…]
Equally, action to reduce the potential for domestic economic management conflict situations to arise might not, depending on its precise nature, have any effects upon foreign ownership and control. [More…]
The only body likely to object to an agreement of this nature is the Commonwealth Government and if the Government does seek to set aside an agreement which simply gives effect to an agreement reached between the parties as to techniques and operating procedures inside a factory, the Government ought to go out on its head. [More…]
There will be different degrees of importance depending on such factors as the nature of the matter at issue and the political climate of the day. [More…]
If a mistake of this nature is made in the national wage case, the Government is not dealing with an increase of 20c a week for the person on $70 a week; it is dealing with his ability to maintain his standard of living. [More…]
This clause increases the legal ammunition which must be paid for by the community in disputes of a technical nature. [More…]
To quote a phrase of some economists, the tertiary services are by nature ‘unprogressive’, in the sense that their performance in productivity growth seems generally to be low by comparison with manufacturing (measurement is difficult). [More…]
When an application for a bans clause comes before a presidential member of the Commission the nature of the hearing is such that every opportunity will be given to the parties to resolve their differences and avoid the making of a bans clause if they are prepared to act with good will and in the best interests of their members. [More…]
I am not convinced that the Court should convert offences which are not in themselves in the nature of contempt into contempt for the purpose of obtaining a jurisdiction which it otherwise doss not possess. [More…]
It has, however, been strongly put that in many cases it is difficult to ascertain the facts which will lead to action of this nature within a period of 6 months, perhaps because of some fraud en the part of the persons in control of the election. [More…]
We have it in Australia but it would rather be a gesture in the nature or character of Don Quixote to imagine we could do anything about it. [More…]
In fact the term in the plural would not be appropriate because of the separate nature of the ballots. [More…]
Therefore, I do not canvass the issues involved, and the extent to which that question will involve the current legislation obviously will be determined by the nature of the judgment which is handed down by the court. [More…]
Is the Minister representing the Attorney-General aware of growing community concern, even within the legal fraternity, over the high cost of divorce and the punitive nature of its provisions? [More…]
I believe that the Minister’s announcement today will reassure him as to the nature and extent of Australia’s increasing interest in his country, which in so many political, economic and social matters has been the forerunner for developments in our region. [More…]
Contrast this with a land based system in which the cost and the complexity grow according to the distance covered and of course are extremely dependent on the nature and accessibility of the intervening terrain. [More…]
The previous speaker referred principally to one industry, the wool industry, developed, by virtue of its nature, solely in country areas. [More…]
Again I ask the Treasurer (Mr Snedden) to consider making an appropriate amendment to section 72 of the Income Tax Assessment Act so that specific provision of the law will allow these outgoings of a private and domestic nature to become deductible for income tax purposes. [More…]
I put it before the Committee, from my experience of sitting on the Council of the National Library, that even 7 or 8 on a council of this nature is too small a number. [More…]
Therefore we place before the Committee considerations of this nature. [More…]
It is nothing to do with local parochialisms or anything of that nature as was suggested by a previous speaker. [More…]
Who does give title to leases of that nature? [More…]
In Australia many agencies are making observations for their own projects, but the investigations are of a fragmentary nature. [More…]
Prime Minister had with the Premier and Deputy Premier of Queensland about the legislation concerning Aborigines in the State of Queensland and I said that broad agreement was reached on the nature of changes which should be made in the legislation. [More…]
The Committee’s conclusions were greatly influenced by 2 considerations: Firstly, the special nature of a career in the defence forces. [More…]
The Grievance Day debate is essentially for back benchers who have very few opportunities to speak in this Parliament because of the pressure and nature of business. [More…]
The Opposition would also undertake an extensive, and, I would hope, a sensible education programme concurrently with the prohibition of advertising of this broad nature I have mentioned. [More…]
In the meantime many people have died and many more have suffered serious ill health, mostly of a chronic nature, as a result of the effects of cigarette and tobacco smoking in the community. [More…]
One of the great difficulties about dealing with smoking induced disease is the addictive or perhaps habituative nature of smoking itself. [More…]
Let me hasten to add that I am loath and reluctant, by nature, to ban anything. [More…]
It is quite irresponsible to introduce an amendment of this nature which will reduce the time of the announcement to 3 seconds on a television screen. [More…]
No doubt if one were to look closely at the Government ranks one would find quite a lot of members holding pecuniary interests of this nature and it would be to their benefit to see cigarette advertising going to radio and television companies. [More…]
Inevitably when people who are in that situation arrive in the new country and find that it does not fit in with the stereotype picture that they had of it they are inclined - perhaps understandably, as this is human nature - to suggest that they have been misled. [More…]
I think it is time that we realised the nature, of the world in which we live. [More…]
only in the nature of the current military campaign. [More…]
In the case of our treaty relationships, it is not that relations with the United States, for example, have deteriorated but that there is a more rational appreciation of the nature of international relationships and of the strengths and limitations of the expressions of even the closest friendships. [More…]
Most of the sort of things that Papua New Guinea has to sell are in the nature of tropical products such as tea and coffee. [More…]
The Labor movement and, indeed, the people in Australia were well aware that Australia was a country favoured bv nature and circumstances, lt became the ideal of the Australian people to establish in Australia a standard that was not to be determined solely or mainly by economic or social conditions in the old world. [More…]
The length and complexity of the drafting is due essentially to the nature of general insurance business. [More…]
I also appreciate that matters of this nature concern, in this case, the members of the Opposition. [More…]
It is essential, therefore, that we preserve the great gifts nature has given us and that we keep our environment as free from man-made contamination as human skills can devise. [More…]
We must be concerned with a whole complex of man, nature, technology and society. [More…]
Because the environment is such a complex interaction of man, nature, technology and society we cannot just set up a bureaucracy and call it the Department of the Environment and expect it to solve our problems. [More…]
It is an entire complex of Nature, Man, Technology and Society, all these are interlinked, changing, evolving and influencing each other. [More…]
Up until recently we have tended to regard parts of the NatureManTechnologySociety complex as separate from one another. [More…]
The arrival in Australia of such large numbers in the last 10 years particularly, has, however, strained almost every aspect of the Nature-Man-Technology-Society System. [More…]
Problems of a complex nature do not have simple solutions or can they be solved by partial approaches. [More…]
To keep our lives human and preserve at least some of nature at all we must reaffirm our control of technology and end our mindless slavery to it and worship of it. [More…]
The term ‘privileges’ is commonly used to describe the concessions, often of a fiscal nature, which countries traditionally accord to foreign consular posts and their staffs, while the term ‘immunities’ describes the jurisdictional immunities which international law confers on them. [More…]
Thus, apart from this aspect, these Bills do not alter the level or nature of the privileges consular posts and their personnel have been accorded for the past 5 years. [More…]
Certificates of this nature are sought from time to time for use in our courts. [More…]
In reporting favourably on the proposal the Committee recommended: If tests and evaluations justify the use of carpets as an economic floor covering and if there is no doubt about its suitability, it should be used in single cabins at HMAS ‘Stirling; service scales and standards of accommodation should be amended to provide carpet as a floor covering in single cabins; the advice of experts on environmental problems should continue to be sought and implemented during development and occupation of the naval support facility; because of the widespread nature of community interest, day to day care and management of areas of Garden Island open to the public should be a State responsibility. [More…]
Whether the development of this naval base in the Fremantle area will be a major contribution to Australian defence depends on the nature of the warfare involving the installation. [More…]
All the time the Committee was sitting there were a considerable number of people in attendance, nearly all of them of a representative nature-; they were representing the substantial organisations. [More…]
If this Parliament is to delegate serious work to a committee which can examine all the evidence on the matter and bring down a useful and reliable report, we must ensure in the future that the Prime Minister, the Minister for the Navy and every other parliamentarian come to understand the independent nature of the work to be undertaken. [More…]
In many respects the amendment that is before us in respect of sub-section (a) of section 26 is perhaps an unsatisfactory solution and something in the nature of a half-way house for what has really been quite a difficult situation. [More…]
The first is the rather arbitrary nature of the 18-month period. [More…]
When the Minister introduced the Bill he indicated that this was more in the nature of an experiment. [More…]
As I see it, at least it is an attempt to do something, but it is in the nature of a half way house. [More…]
By way of illustration it is necessary to explain the devious nature of these tax avoidance devices. [More…]
Amendments of a drafting nature will be required to overcome these deficiencies but the intended effects of the Bill will not be changed. [More…]
This is not the time to consider tying such a proposal to a Bill of this nature, because there is a degree of urgency. [More…]
The Queensland branch’s practice is to forward to the Federal Conference without any recommendation any item of a federal nature. [More…]
The headquarters is to be renamed Headquarters Training Command but, because of the interlocking nature of the reorganisation, this will not take place until such time as the other commands are raised. [More…]
Other inquiries of a similar nature which have been completed and not disclosed are the report of the Committee of Inquiry into the integration of the Armed Forces, the study of army establishments post-Vietnam and the study of the armed forces of Papua New Guinea. [More…]
The Committee would emphasise that it regards deficiencies of this nature in administrative arrangements in a serious light. [More…]
The Committee would commend the Auditor-General on his initiative in conducting reviews of this nature. [More…]
I rise because of the fact that the second reading speech made by the Minister was much more extensive than I thought it would have been, in view of the restrictive nature of the Bill that is now before the House. [More…]
As this matter has been agreed on by both sides of the House it is not my purpose at this stage to seek to extend the nature of the debate, except to refer in passing to some of the points to which honourable members opposite have drawn attention. [More…]
Venezuela and the nature of the arrangements which have been made with the United States of America. [More…]
As will readily be appreciated, 1 think, both of these matters depend in the last resort on our conception of the nature of the pension system itself. [More…]
The average waiting time between application for and receipt of a first social service payment varies according to the nature of the benefit and the circumstances of the case. [More…]
Is the CSIRO researching the possible effects of the Concorde on the Australian environment; if so, what is the nature of the research being undertaken. [More…]
Proceedings of the meetings are of a confidential nature. [More…]
If no such discussions took place, does the Government accept that decisions of this nature should be taken without consultation either with governments or with the trade unions concerned? [More…]
The Government has already said that, in advance of the opening of the new wool selling season, the industry will be advised of the nature of the Government’s programme for the wool selling season. [More…]
Erosion is one of the main reasons why anyone plants trees in an orderly fashion, rather than allow nature to run wild and create problems with black spear grass, of which the honourable member spoke, wild rushes and everything else that makes so much of our forest areas unattractive. [More…]
In Melbourne on 7th September 1971, Dr R. F. Dusman, senior ecologist of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, stated: [More…]
I might say that it needs some special assistance because of the long term nature of the project from the Commonwealth. [More…]
The implication of this provision is that, for amounts of eligible research and development expenditure of less than $50,000, the achievement of these objectives is not important because, irrespective of the nature of the subject of research a general grant will be awarded where there is an increase in research and development expenditures, and other conditions are fulfilled. [More…]
The anomalous nature of the selective type of grant helps perpetuate the process by which small companies, however innovative, find it difficult to get help to develop and market useful inventions. [More…]
However, this would be contrary to the essential nature of the grants scheme, which is the provision of a general incentive to all companies provided they conform to a few simple rules. [More…]
Members of the Public Service still rely on their industrial organisations, to put their case, but immediately those Public Service organisations attempt to do something of this nature in order to gain a percentage increase, as was instanced by the honourable member for Grayndler a number of Ministers go clamouring to the Press making all sorts of statements that there must not be a flow-on. [More…]
Projects of this nature, requiring as they do highly trained staffengineers, technicians and the like - must be preceded by detailed surveys and exchange area planning to ensure that available resources are utilised in the most effective manner. [More…]
It would be inappropriate for me to indicate the nature of those discussions. [More…]
Insufficient information is available of the number and nature of the services provided by honorary and salaried medical staff, respectively, to enable an estimate to be made of the fees which would be received if payments were made for services by practitioners at present classified as honorary. [More…]
It is not considered appropriate therefore to indicate the nature or extent of the contents of the document. [More…]
Due to progress made through past efforts of States, to differences in prevalence of each disease in various parts of the continent, to limitations in the availability of trained manpower, and to other factors, the nature and extent of the action so far taken in the campaign, varies from State to State and within States. [More…]
I also refer the honourable member to the answer given to question 3796 (Hansard, 26th August 1971, pages 796-7) relating to the nature of the research work needed as a basis for further negotiations with the Japanese authorities and to discussions which took place in Tokyo in July 1970 between Australian and ‘Japanese officials. [More…]
What has been the nature and outcome of his approach to appropriate authorities, including the States, for further research into the relation between pupil performance and class size. [More…]
Because of the diverse nature of these services and the interrelationships between them and medical and hospital treatment and Commonwealth and State financial arrangements, it will be appreciated that there are many implications associated with introduction of Insurance benefits in this area which must all be given full consideration. [More…]
I ask whether he is aware of the large number of citizens throughout the Commonwealth who are concerned about the nature and extent of poverty within Australia? [More…]
Is it not so that something in the nature of a national inquiry into poverty in Australia would help the nation and governments to ascertain ibo extent and nature of poverty in this country? [More…]
It must bring into Western Australia new and more broadly diversified industries of a labour intensive nature. [More…]
The honourable member for Fremantle quoted what one of our learned judges in Canberra has said but the legal advice that was available to the Government indicated that in order to protect unleased Commonwealth lands from camping, whether it be on median strips, nature strips or areas around Parliament House, the Ordinance itself would have to be amended. [More…]
Before doing so, however, I shall re-state the Government’s conception of the essential nature of Australia’s strategic problem and its objectives for Australian defence. [More…]
The most recent report of the Committee of this nature is that dated October 1965. [More…]
The most recent report of the Committee of this nature is that dated October 1965. [More…]
He took refuge in this formula: Although the Government has conducted discussions with certain regional countries concerning joint protests, those exchanges were of a confidential Government to Government nature and must be respected as such. [More…]
The matter before the House is ‘the complacent attitude of the Government towards the serious and deep-seated nature of unemployment’. [More…]
I should like to draw the attention of the House to the terms of this matter of public importance, namely, ‘The complacent attitude of the Government towards the serious and deep-seated nature of unemployment’. [More…]
This is the reason for this discussion - the serious structural nature of unemployment. [More…]
1 think that the honourable member for Stirling (Mr Webb) has demonstrated by his parliamentary manners his real interest in the problems that have been brought to our attention in a matter of public importance by the Australian Labor Party, namely the complacent attitude of the Government towards the serious and deep-seated nature of unemployment. [More…]
The oil strike points up also the barren approach of the Labor Party to disputes of this nature. [More…]
Turning to the details of the Bill, clauses 1 and 2 are of a purely machinery nature. [More…]
It is a significant reflection of the self help nature of this Bank that of its membership of 37 countries, 23 are from the Asian region, and the Asian regional members have contributed two-thirds of the paid up capital of. [More…]
Therefore why should one produce anything of a primary nature, which is really wanted, that one expects to sell at less than its cost of production. [More…]
The archival classification given to records of this nature requires the holding for 2 years only and therefore it is possible to give accurate details only in respect of 1970-71 and 1971-72. [More…]
(a) Although the Government has conducted discussions with certain regional countries concerning joint protests, those exchanges were of a confidential Government-to-Government nature, and must be respected as such, [More…]
However, it now appears that the nature and cause of the failures are such as to make it likely that further failures will occur unless remedial measures are taken. [More…]

Is the (a) nature and (b) cost of the assistance for education in Australia in 1972 the same as in 1971 (Hansard, 23rd April 1971, page 2007). [More…]

What was the date, nature and outcome of the application by Queensland for assistance from the National Water Resources Development Fund for the Ross River Dam? [More…]
But at least somewhat tardily, I used to think, he answered my questions on the date and the nature of the negotiations which were going on between his Government and the Queensland Government. [More…]
taxpayers should be required to bear some responsibility for rural areas in such things as support schemes but I think that the taxpayer has every right to object to schemes of this nature being put up for which he pays initially and for which he is forced to pay threefold or even more later on. [More…]

The questions of the nature and functions of this authority and the timing of its establishment are being referred for advice to the Joint Parliamentary Committee on the Australian Cap ital Territory. [More…]
As I mentioned earlier, any statement on the Commonwealth’s education programme for a financial year, must, by its very nature, dwell largely on details of Commonwealth expenditure under various headings. [More…]
But I would not wish to conclude this statement without stressing the co-operative nature of the Commonwealth’s activities in education. [More…]
At yesterday’s briefing the Minister distributed a lengthy paper on the DDL destroyer couched in descriptive and analytical terms; it did not contain any material of a security nature. [More…]
It gives a totally misleading idea of the nature of spending under the programme to project spending on capital equipment in 1976-77 in terms of 1972 prices. [More…]
This exposes the misleading nature and the often hypocritical attitudes of the Government on this question of the size of the Army. [More…]
A corollary to this would be that the levels and nature of units remaining would preclude training of the kind required to develop a competent modern Army. [More…]
I will not deal with the first part of the question which was more in the nature of a statement and a comment than a question. [More…]
During the period 1970-72, total expenditure is expected to reach $ 14.1m of which $7.8m will be spent on capital projects and $6.3m will be expenditure of a recurrent nature. [More…]
But I invite the Parliament and the people to look closely at the nature of this much-vaunted proposal. [More…]

There has been a tendency for economic difficulties of an industry-wide nature to be wrongly attributed to defects in the war service land settlement scheme. [More…]
In these circumstances, having presented to me what he believed was a reasonable proposition for increasing the debating time in the Parliament to which I agreed, I can see no justification whatsoever for the Minister moving a motion of this nature at this time. [More…]
The Council pointed out the unsafe nature of sections of these roads caused principally by the heavy traffic to which they are subjected. [More…]
If it were not for a High Court ruling that sales tax is in the nature of an excise tax and therefore under section 90 of the Constitution must remain with the Commonwealth, I for one would favour the Commonwealth vacating this field of taxation in favour of the States. [More…]
On the contrary, the very nature of retirement to a new area entails leaving family ties and life-long friendships. [More…]
At the same time positive exchange control policies should be implemented to regulate and control the level and nature of foreign moneys coming into Australia. [More…]

[More…]
But it is not generally recognised that the nature of the factors which have to be decided by any authority when it is set up are complex. [More…]

If the Labor Party is sincere in its beliefs about the advancement of this country, it could use its best endeavours towards the settlement of industrial disputes of this nature which do little to help this country. [More…]
Obviously there are several alternatives but, to my mind, it demonstrates that after long and critical examination of the increased capital intensive nature of primary industry the Government is moving with certainty towards the provision of a facility which will help all primary producers to meet the servicing of their debts, which regrettably are eroding their profitability and are essentially one of the causes of the past crisis in the rural industries. [More…]
They do seem to be wideranging but the extent of that wide-ranging nature will be established, by the way in which poverty is interpreted or defined. [More…]
There is an imperative nature about what the Minister was saying. [More…]
In 1938 benefits that were provided under the legislation at that time covered sickness, disablement, old age, widows benefits, dental treatment, travel to hospital, home nursing, infectious sickness, convalescent homes and many others of a comprehensive nature. [More…]
This is sheer nonsense, and salary and wage earners are applauding the prompt action taken by the Government, lt is all right to criticise moves by the Government to reduce taxation and to say that the reduction should have been greater, but the fact is that action of a positive nature has been taken to the extent of approximately $583m. [More…]
These people mentioned figures of this nature late last year, as I have mentioned already, and it would appear that they would be in full support of increased unemployment. [More…]
I suppose, first of all, it is something to do with an expansion of society and the complexity of its nature. [More…]
I do not think I should take up the time of the House now to give details of this Bill but I assure honourable members that it will be of the most far reaching nature and that it will be considered to be extremely beneficial to these people. [More…]
Here again, the Government has been able to facilitate some expansion of Connair’s activities with the prospects of beneficial financial results, and other avenues of this nature will be explored. [More…]
State governments allow freight concessions and things of that nature, but almost in the same breath they discount these concessions by placing a limitation on the use of road transport. [More…]
I heard the honourable member for Maranoa (Mr Corbett) suggesting earlier that an amount of $20m which was included in the Budget would establish a rural bank or a bank of that nature. [More…]
The salient problems confronting municipalities today differ depending on the nature of the area for which the local council is responsible, but again they have a common denominator and that is the need for an injection of funds from outside the municipal area. [More…]
That means nothing of a comprehensive nature will be done. [More…]
But this thought has crossed my mind: Should an oath of secrecy of that nature apply to members of this Parliament? [More…]
In answer to a question yesterday I touched briefly on other aspects such as the value to Australia of export earnings, the value to Australia of having a liquefaction plant which would cost many millions of dollars, the construction of a pipeline and matters of that nature. [More…]

The power of invention having been conferred by nature upon you, there are many who seek notoriety by indulging themselves in the role of a critic. [More…]
We seek an environment where man and nature can live in harmony. [More…]

The letter dealt with expenses of travelling to and from work incurred by handicapped workers in a workshop of this nature. [More…]
The Commissioner, who was asked to comment, has confirmed that, under the present law, your request is one for consideration under a general provision which authorises a deduction for expenditure incurred in gaining or producing assessable income or necessarily incurred in carrying on a business for the purpose of deriving such income, except to the extent to which it is of a capital, private or domestic nature. [More…]
In this connection, the courts and taxation boards of review, whose decisions must be taken into account in the administration of the law, have held on a number of occasions that expenses incurred by a taxpayer in travelling to and from work are expenses of a private nature and thus not deductible for income tax purposes, even when incurred by a person whose physical disabilities preclude him from using public transport. [More…]
I suggest to the Minister assisting the Treasurer (Mr Garland) who is at the table that he have a look at concessions of this nature and see whether something can be done, particularly to make an exception in relation to those in sheltered workshops. [More…]
At a time when the Government boasts of its great contribution to the taxpayer, such as the 10 per cent reduction in personal taxation which it has given, it is tragic to think that a matter of this nature has escaped the Government’s attention. [More…]
The Bills that are being considered include a number of provisions designed to remedy this situation, which has arisen largely as the result of the interaction of rising monetary incomes and the progressive nature of personal income tax rates. [More…]
In view of the limited nature of the debate on this Bill I do not intend to take up any more of the time of the House. [More…]
As there is nothing in the Budget about this subject and this Bill covers only a couple of works of art and things of that nature, it certainly has not received favourable consideration. [More…]

I have said in previous debates of this nature, and I again say unhesitatingly, that Parliament is one of the 2 main bulwarks we have against tyranny in this country. [More…]
Although various considerations concerning the particular scheme advanced by this survey (and the inevitably ‘leading’ nature of the question asked) prevent direct comparison with our study, there are at least two common findings. [More…]
These two characteristics of the MP-assistant relationship- its continuing nature and its policy or partisan commitment - may be taken separately. [More…]
1 believe that the central nature of the place is rather more important. [More…]

Is it a fact that hitherto it has been the policy of the Australian Government to discourage the investment of Australian funds overseas - for example, in neighbouring countries - for the cogent reason that we have been, in the nature of things, a capital importing country and have been chronically short of foreign reserves? [More…]
The survey undertaken by the Bureau of Agricultural Economics has identified the degree to which such a facility will be of assistance in the changing nature of agriculture and the increasing capital intensiveness of the industry. [More…]

The removal of the Aboriginal embassy was, of course, in connection with the South East Asia Treaty Organisation conference when many distinguished foreign visitors came to Australia and the presence of an Aboriginal demonstration of that nature became embarrassing. [More…]
The inter-governmental conferences, which for the purposes of this answer include conferences of an official nature such as those associated with United Nations bodies and the Inter-Parliamentary Union, are marked by an asterisk. [More…]
What was the very important work which the Statistician would have had to set to one side (Hansard, 31st May 1972, page 3318) and the business of a very urgent nature which he would have had to delay (Hansard, 17th August 1972, page 33S) for Western Australia to gain the additional electorate to which the 1971 census showed that the State is entitled. [More…]
I am glad that has been admitted and recognised because there is a great deal of doubt and uncertainty in industry not only about the nature of the new scheme and whether it will represent any advance on the old one, which has had some successes, but because it has operated long enough to reveal its very serious deficiencies. [More…]
The Commonwealth and the States have taken decisions from time to time about the amount and nature of their contributions towards the running costs of non-government schools, but there has been no arrangement for tying either the Commonwealth or the State assistance to some factor which would permit the schools to look to the future with any certainty. [More…]
It is intended to increase substantially the incentive for organisations to provide hostel accommodation and to expand the nature and extent of the care that they provide for the frail aged residents of such hostels. [More…]
In the nature of things this same procedure is likely to be proposed regularly, at least on social service matters. [More…]
I think it is an undesirable trend and inconsistent with the nature of the scheme. [More…]
I think the Government should b2 congratulated because until 1954, when this Government was in power, nothing of this nature had been done for old people in Australia, It was this Government which initiated the idea of homes for the aged, and this has been a magnificent scheme which has been implemented throughout the length and breadth of Australia. [More…]
It will be apparent that, as I said in my second reading speech last year, because of the nature of the programmes to which the finances are devoted, a substantial proportion of the funds are being applied to the advancement of the younger generation of Aboriginal Australians. [More…]
Because of the nature of the allegation implicit in his question, I had urgent inquiries made of the Department of Supply. [More…]

The simple fact is that the present stubborn nature of the return [More…]
I have not been able to clarify my own mind about the nature of the by-law adjustments that are involved. [More…]

Major works of a labour intensive nature are needed. [More…]
The House should not have to reconstruct the nature of a major review of the scheme from a trickle of adjustments made in a series of Bills of this sort. [More…]
It is a measure of the unsatisfactory nature of the Government’s regional development and decentralisation policies that a major scheme for rehabilitation of Kangaroo Island should be implemented through the war service land settlement legislation. [More…]

Our cities will also balance with nature and the inhabitants will always be close to open areas. [More…]
One of the findings of that royal commission was that the settlers should not be liable to pay either the principal or the interest for State capital works such as dams, canals and other major works of that nature. [More…]
I think that the closing commentary by the honourable member for Hawker (Mr Jacobi) is of very real significance when we look at the nature of the problem that this Bill is intended to encompass. [More…]
I wish to quote to the chamber a comment which was made in Melbourne on 7th September 1971 by Dr R. F. Dusman, senior ecologist of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources. [More…]
Since 1964, when this legislation was first introduced, there have been incessant complaints against the restrictive nature of the legislation. [More…]
That is just one example of the misleading nature of his speech. [More…]
Credit unions, because of their very self help nature - I wish on this occasion the member for Melbourne Ports (Mr Crean) were in the House - are stable and efficient members of the Australian financial community. [More…]
The credit union movement by its self help nature, brings with it stability and efficiency at local levels which, in turn, bring about low costs of operation and a low incidence of bad debts. [More…]
If for some reason or other there is something against a public servant on the ASIO files he is denied promotion, as well as appointments abroad and things of that nature, probably for a lifetime. [More…]
As a result they might have to forgo promotion and things of that nature for a lifetime. [More…]
It is suitably acknowledged, but the nature of the Minister’s advice is that the scheme is not practical. [More…]
If that requires other opinions to be repudiated or altered the Labor Party has to weigh the consequences of making a decision of that nature against the effects in real terms on thousands of Australians. [More…]
What is happening now is that each patient has to disclose the nature of his illness on present forms and it would be far simpler to check on what a particular individual is suffering from because each individual patient has a separate file. [More…]
Another matter of a serious nature to which I wish to draw the attention of the House is the appalling treatment of some purchasers of war service homes which were built or purchased in Western Australia in the immediate post war period. [More…]
Shortly after the Minister for the Environment made a statement in this House relating to impact statements, I caused a letter to be sent to each of my ministerial colleagues, over the signature of the permanent head of my Department, giving instructions that whenever the problem of environment or pollution was involved in any submission to Cabinet there must be interdepartmental consideration and the results of that interdepartmental consideration must be mentioned in the Cabinet submission. [More…]
Instructions were given that, particularly when there was likely to be an environmental or pollution effect, a statement had to be attached to each one of the Cabinet submissions setting out the nature of the effect. [More…]
In a situation like this in which there is considerable unemployment of a fairly lengthy and worsening nature, created by Government policy, we get a reversal of the pattern of people who are unemployed. [More…]
He said then in relation to national superannuation: 1 can say that such a scheme is ready for adoption and I believe that it is of a practical nature. [More…]
We have tried to draw attention to the highly selective nature of this deduction. [More…]
I think I have seen the number of separate schemes given as something like 30,000 or 40,000 but there is no real indication of their nature. [More…]
How long do people in that section have to be contributors before they are eligible for benefits and what is to be the nature of their contribution? [More…]
I emphasise this part - with a view to eventually abolishing all distinctions of this nature, pensions at all levels other than the highest will be increased to the same level of $20 a week. [More…]
I emphasise the phrase ‘with a view to eventually abolishing all distinctions of this nature’. [More…]
As an observer, I fail to be reassured that all types of accidents would be of a nature that would not warrant elevator type equipment, particularly with the increasing size of aircraft. [More…]
I suppose, bearing in mind the realities of political parties, this is not altogether surprising, but it is nevertheless regrettable that the essential nature of deep seated problems is ignored because of short term political advantage. [More…]
At that time we did see the Commonwealth example being followed by the Queensland Government, and I just wonder how many other State governments, whether they are Labor governments or otherwise have done anything of that nature. [More…]
In view of the inextricable nature of a married couple’s affairs, is it not logical to abolish all death duties between them? [More…]
The negotiation of immense loans of this nature in these troubled times of growing general unemployment and threatened unemployment in the aircraft industry in a manner which does nothing to alleviate that unemployment in any sector of the community indicates that this Government’s priorities are completely out of touch with the needs of the community, particularly when the loan is being negotiated long prior to its actual date of requirement. [More…]
I wonder why in the last few years the Government has turned education debates into debates about the extraordinary value of the so-called independent schools and the rather offbeat, unnecessary nature of the government schools. [More…]
But all our cries for assistance in understanding the nature and the workings of the so-called Australian schools commission have been in vain. [More…]
The delay on that occasion was due to the obscure nature of the fault and it is unlikely that such a condition will recur. [More…]
Proceedings of the meeting are of a confidential nature. [More…]
It is worth noting that no sooner are changes made in the types and nature of scholarships than the new proposals attract an equivalent kind of criticism. [More…]
No public enterprise would have survived the strident criticism of the ‘free enterprise’ Liberals if a thorough, impartial inquiry of the nature of the Nimmo Committee reported so trenchantly on it. [More…]
When I was in medical practice and was on duty at night and received a call, it might be something of a minor nature and the patient could be given advice over the telephone. [More…]
In its day to day operations there is not much evidence which should lead us to want a more socialised scheme ultimately depending upon a very centralised and bureaucratic organisation, thereby tending by its nature to diminish the private relationship between a doctor and his patient which necessarily underlies the operation of any medical practice in any nation in the world. [More…]
I prefer on this occasion to keep the company of the gentlemen to whom I have referred rather than that of the honourable member for Denison who still professes to find nothing objectionable in something which, by its very nature, obviously is highly objectionable. [More…]
The reason he no longer exists is that the nature of medical practice has changed. [More…]
We must continue to bring to Australia migrants of a suitable nature to help us to expand and develop. [More…]
I believe this view is shared by the vast majority of Australians, not because they despise or look down on people with black skins or anything of this nature but because these people are different. [More…]
What has been the date, nature and outcome of representations to the Greek Government concerning the liability of Greek-born Australian citizens for military service in Greece? [More…]
found that it would have been extremely difficult for the Commonwealth Statistician to give the required certificate unless other business of a very urgent nature were delayed. [More…]
If so, will he tell me how many and will he explain the nature of them? [More…]
He said that if there were any they were certainly not of a very major nature, the inference being that there were none at all. [More…]
Imprecisions of the nature to which I have referred highlight the need for departments to exercise great care in the presentation of documentary and oral evidence. [More…]

My second point is that in consideration of matters of a contentious nature time should be allowed for a proper expression of different points of view from both sides of the House. [More…]
It became very clear to me that if mankind wishes to live in a world which is reasonably free from pollution and if it wishes to preserve for future generations a world of that nature, most of the governments in the world will have to take very drastic action and take it promptly. [More…]
It was suggested by that conference that much more research should be conducted into projects having environmental impact and that individual countries should consider adopting methods in favour of antipollutant goods and services and against certain goods and services which contribute to pollution and that these be of a fiscal nature and involve tax concessions. [More…]
We must learn that the conservation of our environment must be a joint venture between man and nature if we are to hand our country and our way of life over to future generations in good order and condition. [More…]
There is a more rational appreciation now of the nature of international relationships and of the strengths and limitations of the expressions of even the closest friendships. [More…]
One practical requirement of the new foreign policy would be for the Government to play an active role in providing the Australian public with information about the real nature of our international position and the aims of our foreign policy, in order to counter misguided views and prejudices still held by far too many Australians. [More…]
I do not know whether the honourable member for Maribyrnong understands the extent and nature of our foreign aid budget, but in terms of the percentage of gross national product we are fourth in the world. [More…]
The main comments that I want to make are with respect to the speech made by the honourable member for St George (Mr Morrison), which probably exceeded that made by his colleague, the honourable member for Maribyrnong, in its extreme nature, lack of authority and peculiarities of origin. [More…]
There are other articles, more of a machinery nature. [More…]
This is a customary and indeed necessary provision in international agreements of this nature. [More…]
Having studied the nature of the problem, the Government established a committee of officers to report on the action required for its solution. [More…]
For these fees, however, children will enjoy in government-assisted centres a quality of care superior to that otherwise available because of the nature of the facilities and the qualified staff provided. [More…]

The wheat growers and primary producers of this country need to be conscious that if there were ever to be a Labor government - pity help us - the individual producer would not have the opportunity to decide for himself, in conjunction with his colleagues, the level of production or the nature of production. [More…]
Our early discussions with the States will have as their first objective the fullest understanding of the nature of the problems to be overcome. [More…]
The nature of any later legislation will, of course, be determined in the light of experience. [More…]
But it is important to make a start in the prevailing climate of accord about the need for new initiatives and the broad nature of them. [More…]
The Minister, before he designates each shipper body, must be satisfied that its membership appropriately reflects the volume and nature of cargo in the trade. [More…]
At the time the various Tariff Proposals were introduced the nature of the changes was ‘explained at some length. [More…]
Therefore, if we have a scheme that encourages younger people to leave instead of encouraging the older group in agriculture to move out, this can have dangerous implications, not just for dynamic agriculture but social problems in the sense that we have fewer people available in the rural community to provide leadership in the community, to provide the backbone for community services required in a rural community, whether this be in regard to the school committee, the hospital or anything else of this nature. [More…]
Honourable members opposite talk about industrial relations and wage justice, and the Prime Minister (Mr McMahon) on Monday Conference’ or some other programme of that nature the other night said that in 12 months time Australia will have overfull employment. [More…]

I regret that I cannot fully divulge to this House the nature of those discussions because I must acknowledge that they were largely confidential. [More…]
I have not suggested or given assurances to anyone that the programme would be amended but I believe that the Opposition, the Parliament and the nation are entitled to be told whether there is a better proposition by which Australia would not be disadvantaged in terms of manpower requirements, expertise and the knowledge that would be gained by Australians in a programme of this nature. [More…]
Does he recall what was the nature of the communication of 8th January 1971? [More…]
There is still no reference to the nature of the document of acceptance. [More…]

The people who are presently suffering injuries or illnesses of a minor nature are treated at the 4th Camp Hospital at Pallarenda. [More…]
Admittedly this hospital is of a temporary nature, but not for one moment would anyone suggest, except for one or 2 irresponsibles - of course, they are regarded as S-star irresponsibles in any case - who have made statements from time to time in the Press, particularly in North Queensland, that the hospital has anything but the usual high standard that we provide for the Army. [More…]
I think it is in the nature of being a pious thought, because any indications that we have of the depredations of Australian seamen at present and in recent times suggest that any operation of an extension of the Australian National Line for the purpose to which he referred, would, in fact, produce almost the opposite effect to that which he wants. [More…]
There is no need for me to indicate in this House that no matter what he suggests, irrespective of whether it is of the nature he indicated, he is incorrect. [More…]
I have said that if the Bill achieves this purpose it will be by chance and that we have no specific reason to believe that there is any expectation of a more realistic nature than that. [More…]
Considering (he nature of the land involved, was it the Minister’s advice that 35 square miles could really support an economically viable operation in the cattle raising industry, the one area in which the Gurindji people have skills and training, or did the Minister have advice that if the Gurindji were to have a long term economic viability on their land the grant of land to them should be not less than 600 square miles? [More…]
Finally, as suggestions have been made that these buildings should be used for emergency housing, will the Minister give me a firm assurance that owing to the dangerous nature of its location the Wiltona Hostel will never again be used to house people, irrespective of the circumstances? [More…]
Over 6 months ago I asked the Minister the date, nature and outcome of the application by Queensland for assistance from the national water resources development fund for the Ross River Dam. [More…]
If the Queensland Government has made, an application, has he sought consent to his answering my earlier question on the date, nature and outcome of the application? [More…]
There are legal implications as well as the straight out normal evaluation that is given to matters of this nature when they are submitted. [More…]
The new code included additional benefits and these rates are also increased by this Bill which in addition, provides for some machinery amendments of a minor nature. [More…]
In the same way as the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation has now entered into the field of overseas consultation by the nature of its initial functions, there is an excellent case to be made for us to look nationally towards the Tasmanian HydroElectric Commission to try to keep in operation, whether or not it is in Tasmania, as much of that accumulated expertise as possible. [More…]
If such an inquiry could elucidate matters and be constructive in nature and could be helpful from an administrative point of view, it is right and proper and should not be criticised. [More…]
That emphasises the nature of the amendment which has been moved by the Opposition, which proposes how this should be done. [More…]
This definition of the railway role arises from the nature of the railway cost structure, in which over 60 per cent of total costs relate to items which do not vary in the short term in accordance with fluctuations in the volume of traffic, and ensures that additional traffic can be handled on specific routes at a less than proportionate increase in total costs.’ [More…]
I hope that the Government will again look at this case and at other cases of a similar nature. [More…]
The fact of the matter is that if the Prime Minister had not tried to conceal the nature of the transaction, if he had not been so touchy on any question about his infallibility or bis phenomenal memory, if he had given a straightforward account with the appropriate apologies that the right honourable member for Higgins (Mr Gorton) gave last Thursday, the whole matter could have been cleared up quickly and cleanly. [More…]
There has been a systematic pattern of delay and evasion designed to hide 2 aspects of the transaction: First, the nature of the decision to send aid to Cambodia, and second, the internal controversy between departments over the failure to observe proper procedures. [More…]
Repeatedly the Prime Minister has sought to give the impression that there was no irregularity in the transaction or that if there was it was of such a minor, technical and trivial nature as to be beyond consideration. [More…]
However, there is no legal opinion of this nature in any of the files tabled. [More…]
I turn now quite specifically to the nature of the decision to send aid to Cambodia, the first question raised by the Leader of the Opposition. [More…]
So that then was the nature of the problem. [More…]
He says that the nature of the decision to send aid to Cambodia was one which was reprehensible in terms of the actions of the Prime Minister. [More…]
In terms of the nature of the decision to send aid to Cambodia, it is true that the conditions in that country at the time were critical. [More…]
The feeling that one was using one’s skills and expertise in conflict against nature would help to allevi ate those feelings of frustrations. [More…]
I believe that it is a profound development in Commonwealth initiative in areas which are absolutely crucial to the nature and the quality of life of every Australian. [More…]
For my part I would be prepared to remain in this Parliament for a further week if necessary so that a Bill worthy of the national Parliament, a Bill which is in harmony with the States, might be passed by this national Parliament and the whole nation might advance as one in doing something of a worthwhile nature for decentralisation in this country, the building of the countryside and the restoring of confidence among the people who have lived in the country and blazed the trail and built this nation. [More…]
But it is true that there are problems of a duplicating nature which can be found in any large centres around the world, notably in the Western world where traffic is one of the base problems. [More…]
Here we have benefits of an extreme nature being provided and yet the inference that is being conveyed is that this is not the case. [More…]
Time after time since I entered the Parliament I have heard him answer questions from both sides of the House in which he unwaveringly maintained that the ABC is an autonomous institution and that the nature of its programmes is the concern of ABC management, not of the Government. [More…]
The amendments proposed in clauses 3, 4 and 6 are minor in nature and are intended to improve the relevant provisions in the Act and to avoid a loss of revenue in special and unusual circumstances. [More…]
of this section in respect of total loss of a similar nature as is equal to the percentage of the diminution of the efficiency of the faculty, sense, organ or part of the body concerned is, subject to this Act, payable to the employee. [More…]
Where an injury sustained by an employee arising out of, or during, or in the course of, his employment is the loss of genital organs or the permanent loss of the capacity to engage in sexual intercourse or of the procreative function, the amount of compensation to be paid to the employee, shall be fair and reasonable having regard to the nature of the injury, the age of the employee, and any circumstances relevant to the injury or the consequences of the injury, but the amount of compensation shall not be less than [More…]
Subject to this Act, the compensation payable under this Act in respect of an injury that is facial or bodily disfigurement to an employee is such amount of compensation, not exceeding the amount of special compensation, as is fair and reasonable having regard to the nature of the disfigurement, and any circumstances relevant to the injury or the consequences of the injury, and that compensation is payable to the employee. [More…]
of this section, entitled to weekly payments in accordance with either of the last two preceding sections and by reason of his retirement on the ground of invalidity caused by injury or disease, is also entitled to a pension under the Superannuation Act 1922-1971, the Defence Forces Retirement Benefits Act 1948- 197 L or the Parliamentary Retiring Allowances Act 1948-1968, the liability for the weekly payments shall, if the employee so elects, but subject to the regulations, be redeemed by the payment of a lump sum of such amount as is determined by the Commissioner, having regard to the nature of the injury and the age and occupation of the employee at the date of the injury, and that lump sum shall be paid to the Commissioner for the benefit of the employee. [More…]
I can well understand the nature of those reservations but I think both commissions have put their proposals forward in a spirit of experimentation. [More…]
Loans to assist farmers to make permanent improvements of a productive nature are made for terms up to 13 years. [More…]
They agreed that the arrangements should be of a nature to permit the elimination of the backlog in this period through assured annual financial provisions. [More…]

The policy of the Government is that, wherever possible, we use locally manufactured goods and local products, whether they be of a primary or a secondary industry nature. [More…]
We on this side of the House take leave to doubt that this will be so, in the light of the nature of Labor’s scheme as a whole and in the nature of its platform. [More…]
Nevertheless there is a safeguard in the Act whereby the Minister retains the right to interfere where special circumstances apply to companies of a smaller nature. [More…]
The main criticism of this legislation is that it confines itself to one thing and one thing only; namely takeovers which are of the smash and grab nature, or of the whisper and spring kind. [More…]
Rather it was seen as emphasising the interim nature of the legislation. [More…]
1 assure the honourable gentleman that there was no motive behind this clause other than to emphasise the interim nature of this legislation. [More…]
The permanent legislation will be different in nature from this legislation. [More…]
Civil aviation is international in nature inasmuch as all countries and operators contribute to common pools of information, that is, in the fields of safety, operation, traffic and so on. [More…]
Because of the nature of the documents - they are as between governments - the Minister has decided that they should not be supplied to the honourable member for Dawson. [More…]
Mrs X is unable to do this and we are satisfied on the instructions given to us that although this is a case in which, in the nature of things, corroboration of the allegations made by Mrs X would be very difficult to obtain the Court would nevertheless make the order in her favour. [More…]
I believe it is most important in matters of this nature that parliamentarians, who eventually have to assist in making the decisions and bear the responsibility, should be fully informed on these matters. [More…]
It is a pleasure to be able to say something in the Parliament about the non-political nature of this work which is undertaken on behalf of the people of this country in relation to public expenditure by Government departments. [More…]
It is a valuable statement which supplies much valuable information of a technical and administrative nature and in respect of marketing which will be of interest not only to the Parliament but to people throughout Australia who are concerned with the development of natural resources. [More…]
Mr Speaker, I support the Prime Minister (Mr McMahon) in the subject and the nature of his remarks. [More…]
We do not sufficiently realise the burdensome nature of ministerial office in this Parliament. [More…]
What has been the (a) date and (b) nature of any seminars, lectures, discussions or meetings held for liaison purposes between his Department and school principals in each State relating to the secondary schools (i) science facilities programme and (ii) libraries programme in the 3 years ended 30th June 1972. [More…]
and (2) In the nature of its business, the Australian Wheat Board receives a large number of requests for price quotations and for offers to supply wheat. [More…]
Many of these are in the nature of tentative inquiries made with the intention of sounding out the market. [More…]
As the final acceptance of overseas qualifications is a matter for employment authorities, my Department’s service is advisory in nature, and it is therefore not envisaged that the present service will be extended to the general public in the near future. [More…]
What has been the date, nature and outcome of the consultation with the States on assistance for nursing homes which he forecast on 5th October 1971 (Hansard, page 1878). [More…]
Has it been established that people in many callings and professions including the Police Force, the Armed Services, the ministry and the teaching service are often excluded from qualifying for a grant under the Homes Savings Grant Act because the nature of their profession is such that its members are precluded from acquiring a permanent home until after reaching the age of 36 years. [More…]
What was the nature and extent of assistance for Papua New Guinea by all United Nations bodies in 1971. [More…]
What was the nature and extent of assistance for Papua New Guinea under the Commonwealth Co-operation in Education Scheme and other Commonwealth programmes in 1971. [More…]
The nature and extent of assistance received by Papua New Guinea in 1971 is sst out below. [More…]
The nature of assistance received from WHO is set out below: [More…]
The nature of assistance received is set out below: [More…]
What was the (a) number and (b) nature of means of publicity used in the project through (i) radio, (ii) television, (iii) the Press and (iv) other media. [More…]
What was the date, nature and outcome of the latest consultations with the State authorities on the provision of additional hospital facilities in the area. [More…]
What was the date, nature and outcome of the latest consultations with the State authorities on the provision of additional hospital facilities in the area. [More…]
My advisers believe that the newly emerging situation in our region involves fundamental changes in the nature and purpose of Australia’s defence forces. [More…]
The circumstances which led to the forming of the new Government, the nature of recent events in our region, the opportunities and responsibilities of the national Government in these times of great change all combine to make the Twenty-eighth Parliament one of the most momentous in Australian history. [More…]
The scale of President Truman’s achievements was matched only by the momentous nature of the problems he met and the political hazards he faced in surmounting them. [More…]
I hope that the impetuous nature of his statement does not have the effect of prejudicing the intention of the Australian Government to negotiate a new Commonwealth-State housing agreement, the basic purpose of which is to make a lot more money available for housing at lower rates of interest with the object of eliminating as quickly as we can that great backlog of housing applications which has now reached the astronomical figure of 93,000 in Australia. [More…]
I am informed that, on this occasion, having regard to the retrospective nature of the legislation applying to the increases in pensions and the many time-critical administrative tasks which need to be performed, the earliest practical dates for my Department to pay pensions at the increased rates will be 22nd March in the case of age and invalid pensions and 27th March in the case of widows pensions. [More…]
At the same time I wish to announce that the Government has decided that members of this Parliament must have a special right of access to the 2 installations which will enable them to see something of the nature of their operations and be given more information than was provided in the past. [More…]
Their very nature brings them to a conflict. [More…]
So I urge the PostmasterGeneral, who I am sure has a sympathetic nature, to look very closely at the problem of providing adequate telephone services to those areas. [More…]
Were the pressmen in your office the same pressmen who carried the stories allegedly disclosing the nature of an organisation in Singapore? [More…]
The role of the 121st Signals Squadron, therefore, is routine and unexceptional in nature. [More…]
We do hot accept the proposition that a station of this nature should be located on foreign soil if there is a use for the facility in Australia. [More…]
The Leader of the Opposition is on unsafe ground when he refers to this facility and what this Government has done to ensure that operations of this nature are returned to Australia. [More…]
I think that this clears up a basic point - that ANZUK is of a consultative nature. [More…]
He was told for the first time of the nature of this unit. [More…]
It did not in fact amount to a precise commitment to undertake activity of an operational nature if we considered it to be necessary. [More…]
I do not have any ulterior motive of giving favour to anyone; rather do 1 seek that the Prime Minister, other members of the Cabinet and those other honourable members who are situated in offices on the far side of Parliament House be given an equal opportunity to participate in debates and divisions without running the risk of having heart attacks, falls or anything of that nature on their way to this august place. [More…]
They have tried to assess its role, its very reason for being; its effectiveness; whether its scope should be enlarged or diminished, and, if so, whether it should be restructured into more or less tiers or replaced by statutory authorities and ad hoc bodies; how it should be financed; and, above all, given its very delegated nature, whether it is or is capable of meeting the needs of the communities it seeks to serve. [More…]
Two points might be emphasised, apart from the imposition of this rate from above - the narrow basis of revenue raised and the restricted nature of the works proposed. [More…]
Prior to the suspension of the sitting for dinner I had traversed the traditional pleasantries and pointed out that the theme of my speech was the need for economic planning of a long term nature in order to build up our national cake so that we can get on with that job to which all of us in the Labor Party are so committed, namely, allocating fairer shares and making sure that there is a more just society. [More…]
Human nature does not change but human attitudes do. [More…]
Such type of evaluation would displace the method of dog eating dog - that is, a distinctive rating against others - which, by its very competitive nature, may cripple and destroy some and may stamp the mark of failure upon a significant proportion of other students for long periods, even throughout the whole of their school life. [More…]
Hand in hand with these negotiations must go a beginning to the task of reforming the world currency system - a move, perhaps, towards something in the nature of an ‘SDR standard” or special drawing rights standard - if some measure of stability in exchange rates, albeit with a greater flexibility than now, is to be achieved. [More…]
Governments must provide leadership, but we reject the aim of basic changes in the structure of Australian society over 3 years, especially when the Government has used only airy-fairy words and has not told us the nature of the changes and what it is the Government wishes to change. [More…]
It is a new grouping, a spontaneous coming together of persons interested in preserving the beauty that nature has given to our people. [More…]
the nature of recent events in our region, the opportunities and responsibilities of the national Government in these times of great change all combine to make the Twenty-eighth Parliament one of the most momentous in Australian history. [More…]
By their very nature, with the Commonwealth economic power behind them, they are likely to reduce State governments to mere appendages instead of healthy legislative organs vital to a healthy nation. [More…]
The relative nature of poverty to which I alluded earlier applies as between nations as well as within them, and drastic action on a world level is necessary if the great majority of the people of the world are not to become even more poverty-stricken in the future. [More…]
It is not the large financier who invests in building societies; it is the average working man who puts his savings into a building society because of the interest rate, the security and the readily accessible nature of his investment. [More…]
In view of the essential nature of this industry will the Minister examine a case for assistance to the aircraft industry to make up the 17 i per cent differential between the rate of the Australian dollar and the American dollar on US$6m worth of offset work quoted for last December by the industry? [More…]
The Bill will insert a new section of a beneficial nature for the severely handicapped. [More…]
Honourable members will appreciate that, with a comprehensive piece of legislation such as the principal Act, the proposed amendments which I have already outlined necessitate many minor amendments of a consequential nature. [More…]
Because of the itinerant nature of his occupation a regular serviceman is at a considerable disadvantage relative to other members of the community in acquiring a permanent home. [More…]
Honourable members will appreciate from the summary I have given that this Bill embraces a wide range of matters, some of which will effect significant changes in the nature and the scope of the existing war service homes scheme. [More…]
I cannot say that I wish him a long stay but I am well aware of the nature of his constituency and, with God’s help, he should be here for some time to come. [More…]
We have seen changes in some of the most basic assumptions of previous governments and we will have to try to understand the nature of these changes if we are to be able reasonably to evaluate the new Government’s legislation. [More…]
Perhaps the Government has realised that joint control in an installation of this nature is both dangerous and meaningless. [More…]
We believe that the Government has already committed itself to unprecedented levels of expenditure and should examine programs of this nature with a greater degree of responsibility than that which it has been prepared to show so far. [More…]
We say that the Government’s new proposals lend themselves to serious abuse, and by their very nature they are imprecise and vague. [More…]
In view of the Government’s substantial financial commitments, its obvious difficulty in meeting the cost of its election proposals and the inflationary pressures which it has generated, it is inconceivable that it should now initiate procedures which by their very nature will entail wastage of public funds. [More…]
One wonders at times what comes over people opposite when they get round to such pettifogging nonsense in debates of this nature. [More…]
I conclude by referring to the matters raised by the honourable member for Prospect (Dr Klugman) which I believe was a relevant matter to raise in a debate of this nature. [More…]
No amount of wealth redistribution through higher wages or lower taxes can really offset the inequalities imposed by the physical nature of the cities. [More…]
This inquiry was very important because it demonstrated the completely arbitrary nature of the pricing policies of companies such as BHP. [More…]
I think the explanation derives from 2 things - firstly, from the nature of the Australian Labor Party machine and its control over the Government and, secondly, from weakness of character in the 2 gentlemen whom I have mentioned. [More…]
We have all the social problems that a community of this nature would have. [More…]
Given the nature of defence heirarchies and the implications of Nixon’s Guam Doctrine, it seems to me that we should also review our procedure for the collection and assessment of intelligence so that it assumes a more relevant aspect. [More…]
Defence is too important to be left entirely to defence personnel and decision makers, who by the very nature of defence planning must be less informed than they should. [More…]
Criticism of the United States policy is one thing but the hysterical nature of the outbursts deeply shocked not only the Australian people but friendly nations around the world. [More…]
The Public Service Board has indicated that subject to the passage of this Bill, it proposes to amend the existing Public Service Regulations so that an additional week’s leave can be extended to temporary employees under the Public Service Act and to officers and employees who, because of the nature or location . [More…]
It was so held by the whole court having regard to the nature and function of section 41 that the term ‘adult person’ in that section should not be accorded a vague and imprecise meaning such as ‘mature person’ but should be construed as a term of fixed connotation bearing the ordinary meaning - it possessed both at law and in common usage - that is, a person at the full age of 21 years as used in contradistinction to an infant at law. [More…]
Clearly they did not have persuasion to the Court and on reading the judgment this is understandable because the Court was concerned with the nature and function of section 41 of the Constitution and how the term ‘adult person’ in that section should be accorded and that it should not be, in their terms, accorded a vague and imprecise meaning such as mature person’. [More…]
But even in a debate of this nature reference had to be made about Left wing activity. [More…]
I repeat that I was somewhat taken aback to hear in a debate of this nature reference made to the irresponsibility of youth of Australia. [More…]
Socialism is a doctrine which by its very nature must be contrary to the free-wheeling aspirations of youth in Australia. [More…]
It means simply that there is a sheer need for information about the nature of government, the structure of government in this country and, I would add, the main philosophies of the contending political parties. [More…]
Consequently it is in the nature of a formality that reference to controls on Aborigines be removed from Federal legislation. [More…]
For this reason the Opposition is concerned by the nature of the recently formed Aboriginal Consultative Council. [More…]
The old Queensland Act was very restrictive and controlled people, property, movement, marriage and things of that nature. [More…]
In a debate of this nature I believe that this Government - as was the case with the past Government - should give its private members the same form of information that is available to the Minister. [More…]
There ought to be a better way of granting loans to these countries rather than sell them produce of this nature. [More…]
I am not sure of the nature of all of the reports oh this subject but as the communique to which President Suharto and I subscribed made quite clear, the President does look forward to the time when there can be wider arrangements for consultation between his country and all its neighbours, Australia being one of Indonesia’s neighbours in which the Indonesian Government is very much involved and interested. [More…]
Others are of a personal nature, and relate to the particular needs of individual migrants. [More…]
The report points out that there are many factors influencing departure, some of which relate to the general economic and social structure of the country as a whole, and others which are of a personal nature and relate to the particular needs of individual migrants. [More…]
Without knowing the nature and extent of the new proposals it is impossible for the Opposition parties to assess what impact they are likely to have in the solution of the problems associated with migrant departure. [More…]
With the Government’s announcement that tertiary fees are to be abolished as from the 1974 academic year, I do not envisage that the need for assistance of this nature will be as great in the remaining years of the 1973- 75 triennium and, for that reason the Government decided that grants should be made in the 1973 academic year only. [More…]
I am giving a general indication of the nature of some of the requests that were made to show that they relate to the question of training specialist teachers, and other recurrent requests which any State could make. [More…]
They remove the very unfortunate speculative nature of divorce proceedings whereby an order for costs meant that if a petitioner went to a lawyer, the lawyer would act only when he was reasonably sure that he would get his costs out of someone else’s hide over a long period of time. [More…]
However growers have always found that when an issue of a difficult nature cropped up they were rarely as well placed in the argument as were the integrators with the Government. [More…]
V. O. Dickie, M.L.C., regarding the nature of the negotiations and requesting that the Minister lay on the table of the Library, the proposals of the Federal Minister for Housing and other comments and documents applicable to discussions which ensued between the Ministers. [More…]
because of the nature of the programs to which the finances are devoted, a substantial proportion of the funds are being applied to the advancement of the younger generation of Aboriginal Australians. [More…]
I do not think anybody can underestimate the difficulties, the confusions and the contradictions which must in the nature of things occur in this program, but I think that this simple program is the right program for those Aboriginals who are in the south or nearer to our way of life. [More…]
The Government also hopes to provide work of such a nature as to provide job training and responsibility, which should make a positive approach in this sphere as the finance allocated for this special project work has been directed to the areas where the problem of Aboriginal employment is most acute. [More…]
I would suggest that, when any Minister undertakes a tour of this nature - it could be a visit by the Minister for Minerals and Energy (Mr Connor), the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs or any other Minister - it is quite competent and should be the order of the day for one ot two members of the Opposition and of the Government who are particularly interested in those matters that the Minister is going to see to travel with the Minister. [More…]
A tremendous amount of ceremonial life is local and should not be the object of open study in an Aboriginal community, because from the Aboriginal point of view the efficacy or the nature of the ceremony depends upon the details of that ceremony being restricted. [More…]
My constituents feel that the money is not being wisely spent and I think the same pattern applies in other parts of the country where unemployment is acute and work of an unimportant nature which absorbs the largest number of unemployed is being carried out. [More…]
Councils in my area, particularly the City of Greater Cessnock Council, feel that if the money is allocated to obtain more capital equipment such as bulldozers and materials used in more effective projects such as sewerage works, road building and the construction of bridges it would be of more benefit to the people in the shires because it is work of a permanent nature. [More…]
I hope that it is the wish of all honourable members that unemployment relief work should be of a more constructive nature. [More…]
I think that the type of work in which some of the former unemployed were engaged, such as removing weeds and grass, had a somewhat demoralising effect because those engaged in it felt that they were not doing a constructive job of a permanent nature and from which all the community would benefit. [More…]
It is not work of a permanent nature. [More…]
I hope that the Government will see its way clear to make available a substantial amount of money to be spent on capital equipment so that work of a more constructive nature might be carried out throughout the Commonwealth, particularly in my electorate of Hunter. [More…]
The honourable member attacked the trade unions, their excesses, the demands they are making and matters of this nature. [More…]
When he was Minister for Supply he said nothing about those who exploited the taxpayers of this country by imposing exorbitant charges and other things of that nature. [More…]
In view of the unprecedented nature of the visits on 16th March by the Commonwealth Police to Australian Security Intelligence Organisation premises will the Prime Minister assure the House that the visits of the Commonwealth Police will not be extended to other Government departments? [More…]
They will also prevent cases of this nature arising in the future. [More…]
A committee which seeks to examine price levels in the private sector without having regard to the inflationary impact on the economy of the public sector will not have the capacity to examine the overall nature of Australia’s inflationary experience. [More…]
The fact that the Government is seeking to establish a series of organisations and procedures designed to examine prices rather than the overall nature of our inflation problem, is evidence of the traditional outdated thinking within the Australian Labor Party that the problem of inflation can best be met by the control or restraint of prices. [More…]
Other countries with comparable economies to Australia’s have imposed prices and incomes policies with restraints of a significant nature which have had a deep effect on all sections of their communities. [More…]
Why should this Committee not use the information coming to it through these reports to educate the community about the nature of inflation? [More…]
Any inquiry of this nature should take into account the relativity of wages to prices charged. [More…]
However, one of the facts which did come out of that case was the extraordinarily arbitrary nature by which price increases are determined by the large companies, particularly if the situation in respect of their activities is not very competitive. [More…]
What was the (a) nature and (b) extent of assistance for Papua New Guinea by all United Nations bodies in 1971 (Hansard, 17th August 1971, page 151 and 6th October 1971, page 2001). [More…]
What was the (a) nature and (b) extent of assistance for Papua New Guinea under the Commonwealth Co-operation in Education Scheme and other Commonwealth programs in 1971 (Hansard, 6th May 1971, page 2842). [More…]
By the nature of the processes, there must be some delay in assessing and approving applications for various forms of social security benefits, as they are known now. [More…]
The Committee could see no objection, as the honourable member for Bradfield indicated, to the transmission of very important debates, such as those on the budget, economic or foreign affairs or question time and matters of that nature. [More…]
Previous speakers have referred to the almost inescapable requirement to change 2 essential things - the venue, which is of course the very nature of this chamber and undoubtedly the chamber of the other place, and the procedures. [More…]
There are many differences such as the very layout of the chamber, the very nature of the way in which the business proceeds and the fact that at question time there is a series of questions on notice as distinct from our own pattern of procedure of questions without notice. [More…]
Let me say also that in some respects the Australian people have not fully appreciated the extent and the nature of the changes in foreign policy which the Labor Government in office has been introducing. [More…]
The Opposition’s objectives in disallowing the Public Service Arbitrator’s determinations were, firstly, to make it clear to the Australian public that an election promise made by the Australian Labor Party was being dishonoured on its election to government and, secondly, to object to the nature of the policy which the Government sought to implement - a policy which was discriminatory, unfair and lacking in merit and substance; a policy which in application would have created a division in the Commonwealth Public Service which was contrary to the interests of this country; a policy which sought to create a group of second-class and under-privileged citizens within the Public Service; and a policy which sought to implement union demands for compulsory unionism within the Commonwealth Public Service. [More…]
You, Mr Speaker, would recognise the very serious nature of the decision, taken in a sense by stealth, to seek to reach a contrived position without the opportunity for a full and open parliamentary debate. [More…]
Unlike the Government we believe that industrial benefits of this nature ought not to be selectively applied to various sections of the Australian community. [More…]
Any government introducing a Bill of this nature ought to have an accurate assessment of its consequent costs. [More…]
I am quite a practical sort of chap and I know that it is quite impossible to lay down in actual figures what the costs will be of any measure of this nature because such a yardstick cannot be described exactly in figures. [More…]
We know that in a measure of this nature where so much is involved there will be a cost to the community. [More…]
This Parliament, which is a responsible body, should look very thoroughly at this situation when a Bill of this nature is brought in. [More…]
The point I made at the beginning was that I was disturbed by the fact that the second reading speech did not fully explain the consequences of any major move of this nature. [More…]
I trust that in future when the Government brings down legislation of this nature involving so many people it will make available to honourable members a document setting out what is involved in the measure and provide far more information than has been supplied on this occasion. [More…]
An important thing which this legislation is designed to ensure is the representative nature of Parliament. [More…]
It provides for a 20 per cent tolerance which remains the ideal tolerance level suited to the nature and direction of Australia’s population development. [More…]
Before him was Sir Arthur Fadden - earthy, capable and a shrewd judge of human nature, with qualities of fairness and friendliness. [More…]
But it follows in the nature of things that we all tend to look at them from our individual political point of view because, as I said, our own future is tied up with such legislation. [More…]
However, the people being affected are, in many instances, patients who have been in nursing homes receiving long term care - patients who, whether of a light nursing care nature or of an intensive care nature, have come to regard the nursing homes where they are being properly accommodated as their homes. [More…]
I think they will be of a placatory nature. [More…]
What is the nature of those withdrawals and which Services do they involve? [More…]
I do not want to upset him because my nature itself would be distressed by doing so. [More…]
The report makes it quite clear, as I have already pointed out in my letter to Mr Byrne, that the viability of smaller ports like Portland will not, in the end, be judged by the nature of the levying arrangements for the guaranteed minimum wage. [More…]
The political nature of the second reading speech of the Minister for Services and Property (Mr Daly) - the Minister responsible for electoral matters - is, I think, without precedent in this Parliament. [More…]
When we look at section 19 of the existing Act and the changes which the Labor Party wants to initiate in that area we find the really insidious nature of its proposals which would have a dramatic and unfortunate impact upon representation in this Parliament. [More…]
In these discussions Australia has been seeking to identify the nature of the problems which might arise for particular commodities and to suggest possible solutions. [More…]
In the Australian’ of 2nd April there appeared a story that the Federal Minister for Transport had permitted 3 other ships of a similar nature to be imported. [More…]
In the meantime, the Government wishes to ensure that additional capital projects of an urgent nature are not delayed until after that date, and this Bill to provide supplementary grants totalling $10m is an interim measure intended to raise the level of assistance available under the existing arrangements. [More…]
I am confident that the supplementary grants will provide the States with sufficient additional capacity to carry out urgent building projects until the nature and extent of the needs in this area of education can be assessed in a systematic way by the commission. [More…]
Does he think it includes sheep, cattle and things of that nature? [More…]
If so, what was the (a) level of financial assist ance offered and (b) nature of the response from the Tasmanian Government. [More…]
He would know that it is not the practice to table or publish communications of this nature between governments. [More…]
been taking advantage of your good nature and tolerance. [More…]
As you know, questions should not contain arguments, inferences, imputations, ironical expressions, hypothetical matter or things of that nature. [More…]
Human nature being what it is, cases could conceivably arise where people who have previously lived in Australia might aim to return to Australia foi the specific purpose of receiving a pension, after which they would again leave this country. [More…]
The consultants themselves, very early in their appraisal of the problem, made a firm recommendation of a similar nature to that of the Commonwealth-State committee. [More…]
For those reasons - the method by which the Prime Minister did it, the undertaking he gave to me and the very serious nature of the matter - it is required to be subjected to examination by the Opposition. [More…]
The Northern Territory Administration was offered also responsibility for the functions of varying forms of community services such as libraries, fire brigades, building standards, bus services, cemeteries, inspection of scaffolding and machinery, and a range of other things of that nature. [More…]
T believe that it will be a committee of a non-party political nature from which the people of the Northern Territory will derive great benefit, particularly the Aborigines, who will be saved from exploitation in the fields on which I put my greatest emphasis. [More…]
All work by its very nature is hazardous because it takes a man away from the things he would wish to do or the things he would probably normally do, and in order to satisfy the economic needs of his family he engages in activities that are not necessarily familiar to him. [More…]
The nature of the atrocities that have been inflicted on these young people do not permit me to state them in detail. [More…]
This raises the third point for a judicial inquiry - the nature of the authority of Senator Murphy in taking possession of information and treatment of ASIO staff concerned. [More…]
His advocacy of so absurd a proposition is, in fact, proof positive of the pathetic nature of his attempt to discharge the burden which he sought to discharge in the course of this debate. [More…]
In addition, the nature of that information is now likely to be restricted to that information the subsequent release of which could have no adverse effects. [More…]
In spite of the many serious consequences of ASIO’s treatment and the unprecedented nature of the AttorneyGeneral’s actions, a wall of silence has been constructed not simply in this national Parliament but throughout the Australian nation. [More…]
Tactics of this nature should be judged by the public for what they are. [More…]
The nature of this aid has yet to be determined and it is worth reiterating what I have said on previous occasions as Minister for External Territories, that few independent countries, even developed countries, are really wholly independent of other states. [More…]
If I may elaborate, for the benefit of the honourable member, I anticipated a question of this nature today because when the Liberal-Country Party Government in New South Wales is perpetuating one of the greatest gerrymanders of all time I think it appropriate that the nation should know about it. [More…]
Why am I not entitled to have a question of that nature asked? [More…]
It has to be recognised that because of the comprehensive nature of these relations and the similarity of our 2 economies it is difficult to move rapidly towards more free trade. [More…]
But, also, many peripheral matters of a technical and transitional nature have had to be catered for in the drafting and, in this age of enthusiastic and ingenious tax avoidance, many safeguards of the central principles have had to be provided. [More…]
As one who came from overseas I certainly do not have any emotional ties of that nature but I think we should respect that that sort of emotion tie is felt by many people. [More…]
He would be entitled to draw the two because the British pension, being a contributory pension, is of the nature of property. [More…]
My reason at that time which still remains valid, and the acceptance of this proposition negates much of what the honourable member for Mackellar has said tonight, was that both these propositions - that is, firstly, that we should not have a different eligibility period outside Australia and within it and, secondly, that it is not our concern to have reciprocity before we advance - depend in the last resort on our concept of the nature of the pension system. [More…]
This is, I think, in the nature of things, entirely wrong. [More…]
At my direction, senior officers of the Department of Primary Industry recently had discussions of a purely preliminary and informal nature with representatives of the wheat industry on the subject of the wheat industry stabilisation. [More…]
Is it now Government policy that jobs offered to registered job seekers must be of the same trade as or equivalent in nature to the work they did previously? [More…]
The provision of assistance which is acceptable to small business will require a thorough understanding of the real nature of small business, the people involved and their problems. [More…]
A strike by its very nature carries with it the threat that the employer will suffer some material loss. [More…]
Trade unions have consistently sought legal recognition of the fact that by the special nature of their social tasks they are not predators and enemies of society but rather that they are an essential instrument for the protection of the weak and the maintenance of some fair proportion in the distribution of wealth between capital and labour. [More…]
A provision of the nature has existed in Queensland for many decades. [More…]
The Government believes that constant legislation of this nature is unnecessary and that it is far more satisfactory to remove the limitation on the number of judges who may be appointed to the Court so as to provide that the Court shall consist of a Chief Judge and such number of other judges as are appointed from time to time. [More…]
I am sure many other honourable members in this House have found that there is confusion about the nature of the Service pension. [More…]
Although he had a lighter side to his nature, Sir Arthur Fadden was an intensely responsible man and indeed a much more sensitive man than most of us ever realised. [More…]
The whole purport of the motion for the suspension of Standing Orders is to enable not just the Prime Minister, his Ministers and the Leader of the Opposition to be aware of the circumstances relating to the unforgiveable execution of 3 Australian citizens by a communist government, but also to let all members of this Parliament and the Australian community be aware of the nature of the trial, the circumstances of the judgment and the reason for and the manner of the execution of these 3 Australian citizens. [More…]
The indulgent nature of these conditions is a salient indication of the extent of the weakness of the employers, vis a vis the bargaining power of the Waterside Worders Federation, the degree to which wages and salaries are a major cost factor and the extent to which they have added to our inflationary experience. [More…]
I am glad to see in the advisers’ box one of the senior advisers from the Department of Labour who himself knows full well the outrageous nature of the condition we are now discussing. [More…]
The financial difficulties of the Authority are symptomatic of the overall nature of the problems facing the stevedoring industry at the present time. [More…]
This is exercising an influence on the general nature of our inflationary spiral. [More…]
In 1969-70, 81,205 man-hours were lost through strikes of this nature - equal to 6.7 pes cent of all man-hours lost through strikes. [More…]
The nature and extent of the increased costs are, in fact, very considerable. [More…]
He is a colleague in this Parliament who will speak out in this debate and say full well just what burden the producers and the exporters are facing at the present time because of the nature of the concessions which have been brought down. [More…]
We must not continue to build these congested areas which will necessitate future Bills of this nature coming before this House. [More…]
Some of the changes have been quite dramatic and may indicate the nature of future changes in these fields. [More…]
It is incredible that the honourable member, who has been in this place for so long, has to use this as the main argument in his contribution on a Bill of this nature. [More…]
I am very delighted to see that this is occurring in a rapid way and that the results of this legislation will be of such a nature as to ensure that many people who have been waiting for a long time for homes from State housing authorities will be able to receive assistance. [More…]
A document relating to public affairs quoted from by a Minister or an Assistant Minister, unless stated to be of a confidential nature or such as should more properly be obtained by address, shall, if required by any Member, be laid on the Table. [More…]
The honourable member cannot debate a ruling of this nature. [More…]
Although because of the imprecise nature of the estimates the exact inflationary effects, if any, cannot be ascertained, the estimate provided in (1) would suggest that any overall impact would be minimal. [More…]
If so, what was the (a) level of financial assistance offered and (b) nature of the response from the Tasmanian Government. [More…]

A claimant must be capable and willing to undertake work of a class which he normally, follows or be capable and willing to undertake some other work of a suitable nature that he could be expected to perform’ now reads, !A claimant must be capable and willing to undertake work of a class which he normally follows or of an equivalent kind’. [More…]

The administrative discretion allowing a Registrar to postpone benefits is arbitrary, coercive and in its nature authoritarian. [More…]

Despite its obvious and patently party political nature, I do welcome the initiation of this discussion by the honourable member for Moreton (Mr Killen). [More…]
The Bill provides for amendments to Part 1 of the principal Act which are of a machinery nature. [More…]
It is, therefore, proposed to extend the regulationmaking powers to cover non-continuous ports, and to remove existing limitations in relation to other ports to the extent necessary to ensure that any transitional arrangements for permanent employment of a different nature from that in existing permanent ports can be introduced by regulation pending the framing of permanent legislation. [More…]
These people experience difficulty in obtaining suitable finance for home building from traditional lending institutions due to the nature of their occupation, as was made clear by the honourable member for Bennelong (Sir John Cramer). [More…]
They experience difficulty with home finance not only because of the nature of their occupation, but also because of the disadvantages inherent in Service life in relation to the acquisition of a permanent home. [More…]
It is good to see that there are some honourable members on the Government side who have had a sense of outright shame when they have witnessed something of this nature. [More…]
We do not believe it is good for legislation to be of such a nature that a large area of discretion is placed in the hands of a Minister or the bureaucracy. [More…]
But let us be quite clear and say that by the time this legislation is next examined or amended this increase will appear as one of a very paltry nature. [More…]
It is very difficult to give appropriate advice in these circumstances because of the restrictive nature of the means test for the allowances covered by university scholar ships. [More…]
and (2) Assistance provided by State Governments to needy mothers is of a discretionary nature. [More…]
I cannot give guarantees about what will be done arising out of a report until I see the nature of the report. [More…]
Further, the interest of the Department of Foreign Affairs in travel documents and the entry to Australia of such groups is well known and no doubt the Prime Minister will be aware of the nature of the travel documents held by this group. [More…]
For the information of honourable members I present a report on the location, nature and development of institutions of tertiary education in Sydney, Melbourne and the Albury-Wodonga region. [More…]
Loans are also of a temporary and repayable nature and of a recurring benefit to students and governments alike; outright grants are not. [More…]
So, it naturally is anticipated that need for assistance of this nature will not be as great in the remaining years of the 1973-75 triennium. [More…]
Having been involved in the Department of Social Services in the past I think it is necessary that one looks both at the number of social workers and, in some instances, at the nature of their training. [More…]
I commend the Minister for the nature of his extension of these facilities. [More…]
The Government wishes to ensure that the additional capital provided is spent on work of an urgent nature and that such work will not be delayed until after 1974. [More…]

In fact, the nature of his statement is best characterised by the vital aspects which it ignores. [More…]
The first is the obvious one which I have mentioned, that is, the sheer counterproductive nature of such penalties. [More…]
When the decision was finally given in 1966 the Commission said that it did not arbitrate in cases of that nature and that it was not there to settle industrial disputes relating to over-award claims for one company. [More…]
In that case there is no need to call into question the civil law, unless something of a civil nature is done. [More…]
On numerous occasions disputes of a minor nature were expanded into major disputes because the penal provisions were invoked. [More…]
I would have thought that when dealing with a measure of this nature we would have approached it with a spirit of leisure in terms of examining it critically and in a discriminating fashion as befits the national Parliament. [More…]
It could not care less about the nature of public interest. [More…]
By the very nature of those penalties, which have been increased to a maximum of $1,000 they are referable only to the employer. [More…]
I have been involved in disputes of this nature. [More…]
The words in the Bill are of the unlawful nature’, an expression that is used more than once. [More…]

the conduct of the employer that is the subject of the charge was reasonably justified by reason of the unlawful nature of the act or thing referred to in paragraph (a) of this subsection. [More…]
If employees at a particular factory decided to knock off work to listen to the Minister for Labour and decided to remain off work until they felt tired of listening to what the Minister for Labour was saying, it would mean that they would have the whole day off, in which event the employer would be able to satisfy me court that his conduct that was the subject of the charge was reasonably justified by reason of the nature of the behaviour of the employee concerned. [More…]
If this is the nature of the Opposition’s real objection to the Bill so far, all I can say is that its objection is based upon rather flimsy ground. [More…]
I ask a supplementary question of the Prime Minister because of his totally inadequate answer to the question asked by my colleague, the honourable member for Mackellar, and the contemptuous treatment of Parliament in the nature of the reply that the Prime Minister gave to that question. [More…]
Will he in due course make a detailed statement to the Parliament setting out the precise nature of arrangements with regard to the distribution of natural gas and the timetable for the construction of the main features of the pipeline? [More…]
If we also take into account the proposal, which I do not debate here, to confer civil immunity in certain circumstances on trade unions and their members, we have a situation in which there no longer will be any sense of restraint upon the principal parties, particularly the trade unions, having regard to the very potent nature of the power that they wield at present. [More…]
That is why the Opposition is so concerned at the biased nature of the philosophy embodied in these clauses that we are debating now and that is why we intend to oppose them. [More…]
I cannot indicate the nature of those amendments just yet but they will be indicated to the Senate. [More…]
There are some 70 clauses in the Bill, many of which are long, many of which are of a technical nature and many of which refer to amendments to the main Act. [More…]
It is almost impossible to follow the nature of those amendments without a great deal of consideration. [More…]
Never before in the whole history of federation has there been put through this House with such indelicate haste a measure of this nature. [More…]
The amounts included for salaries and payments in the nature of salary represent estimates of the payments which will be made at existing rates of pay and employment levels over the 11 pay days falling within the supply period. [More…]
It is an established principle that unless words of that nature are aimed personally at another honourable member they are not objectionable. [More…]
Knowing human nature as I do, I know that the most foolproof scheme that can be implemented in any immigration office or bank is not foolproof unless the honesty of those enforcing the scheme or carrying out their duties is beyond reproach. [More…]
Does he care to know that in wool stores the seasonal nature of handling means overtime payments, which greatly increase the wages he so selectively quoted? [More…]
He has made 2 other representations, one being of a domestic nature. [More…]
I believe that women who happen to be nurses should be liberated from this prospective violation of their nature as women and this repudiation of the very raison d’etre of the nursing profession. [More…]
Deposits of this nature have all been identified on the continental shelves of the world. [More…]
If thai is the situation in this Parliament, my retiring nature has been strained so far that it will not be prepared to put up with the situation any longer. [More…]

[More…]
Is he saying that the whole thrust of decentralisation in that State is based on inquiries of a superficial and, in his own words, not very detailed nature? [More…]
I suppose anyone with a capitalist bent to his nature, stimulated by our capitalist system, would say that if he could sell a block and a house together for $3,000 more than he would receive if they were sold separately, he would be reluctant to sell only the land. [More…]
They could be brought about by rezoning, which really is outside the nature of the Cities Commission, although it doss underline the need for co-operation between all levels of government in attitudes to rezoning rather than the various levels of local authorities and local governments having conflicting and competing attitudes towards rezoning. [More…]
Knowing human nature, there are always those who want to take a punt and make a quid on land speculation. [More…]
So, as far as the nature of the guarantee is concerned, we are fully in agreement with the Government’s proposing it in this matter and with the form of the guarantee as referred to in the Bill itself. [More…]
One of the most salient advantages that the ILO possesses, and possesses exclusively, is its tripartite nature. [More…]
I want to point out to the Minister for Labour, who is about to undertake his first visit to the ILO as the leader of the Australian delegation to that important forum, that I believe he could well be disappointed with the nature of the discussions that take place there. [More…]
They are being forced through this House without the Opposition Parties having a reasonable opportunity to examine their nature or to bring their alternative policies to the attention of the national Parliament. [More…]
It is in this context that the Opposition believes it to be quite unwarranted to introduce a Bill of this nature which does not require legislative action by this Parliament. [More…]
All in all, although the measure before the House is of a technical nature, it does open up many questions for discussion. [More…]
One of the many factors which needs to be taken into account when designing a new scheme is the likely possibility of a reduced working life being considered desirable before any further review of a substantial nature is undertaken. [More…]
what is the nature and form of the proposed revised arrangements. [More…]
I want to stress the complex nature of these agreements which I believe will raise 2 questions which possibly will be debated to far greater length when we are discussing other legislation that is to come before this Parliament. [More…]
They are: The high cost on the waterfront, the cost plus position, the financial indebtedness of the Australian Stevedoring Industry Authority, the excessive cost of idle time and the featherbedding which presently obtains, surplus labour on the waterfront, the indulgent nature of conditions throughout the industry, the level of industrial unrest, the influence of overseas shippers - I put that on the record - the capacity of the Waterside Workers Federation and the Association of Employers of Waterside Labour to negotiate agreements borne of cynical exploitation of monopoly power without a sense of concern for the public interest. [More…]
The committee recommended that the fourth university should be incorporated in 1972 and that its precise form and nature should be planned over the next two triennia, a comprehensive external studies program should be instituted together with regional centres for external studies in strategically located country towns and that an initial site for the campus should be acquired in the eastern region of the Melbourne metropolitan area with the possibility that a second site should be considered in a country area. [More…]
Some further information was provided by the State Minister of Education in a letter to the Australian Universities Commission in February 1973 but the detailed information sought by the Commission had not been provided prior to the tabling on 3rd May 1973 of the ‘Report on the location, nature and development of institutions of tertiary education in the Sydney, Melbourne and Albury/Wodonga Region’. [More…]
The matters referred to are not of an unimportant nature, but they do not represent the most significant matters which could be inquired into so far as building societies are concerned. [More…]
It is just the common law of nature that if we try to squeeze a producer he will not look for additional supplies; he will take his money somewhere else. [More…]
If there were something of that nature in this Bill I would be violently opposed to it. [More…]
Other amendments, mainly technical in nature, are proposed to apply from 17th July 1972 for as long as the concessions for capital paid to mining companies continue. [More…]
1 am worried by an evident lack of Government appreciation of the nature of the current wage-prices rat race. [More…]
So the course that we were on, whereby the Full Bench of the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Commission could have become something in the nature of a pay board, a board of review of inflationary wage settlements, has been put in reverse. [More…]
It would be highly unfortunate if anything in the nature of a run were to take place against the permanent building societies. [More…]

Rather, it will be in the nature of a topping-up’ process of the financial resources of lesser endowed bodies to enable them, by reasonable revenue raising efforts on their part, to provide a standard of services to their communities that will be comparable with that enjoyed by communities elsewhere. [More…]
I have perhaps dwelt for too long on the problems of internal waters, but they are quite obviously very complex legal problems; and the considerations which I have canvassed will at some stage have to be faced by our courts because of the singularly unhelpful nature of our constitutional structure. [More…]
The primary and fundamental question for the lawyers is, apparently, the nature of the coastal States’ interest in the territorial sea. [More…]
Arguments were put forward before us then from every State in the Commonwealth, from both sides of politics, that instead of the Commonwealth introducing legislation of this nature so that it could be challenged by the States it would be better if the States introduced their legislation and the Commonwealth, in reverse, challenged it.

The vocational nature of college courses generally means a large number of classes, but still requires use of a library. [More…]
No doubt the growth of our tourist industry can be partly explained in terms of the increasingly competitive nature of international tourism, in respect of both travel costs and tourist facilities. [More…]
This is a disturbing enough matter, but in many respects equally disturbing is the deceitful nature of the second-reading speech relating to this Bill by the Minister for Transport. [More…]
This Bill provides for representation for the Territories in the Senate in a manner different in extent and nature from the representation of the States in the Senate and as I pointed out, this difference is authorised by the Constitution. [More…]
Opportunity is being taken in clauses 4 and 6 of the Bill to make some amendments of a formal nature to sections 7 and 13 of the Representation Act. [More…]
The Bills of course are part of the decisions of government with respect to the wool industry which are of a continuous and parallel nature in adapting to the changing rate of innovation or possibly the opportunities for innovation in the industry. [More…]
It is quite paradoxical that one of the principal motives laid down by the present Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) for his assumption of office - one of the claims he made in his policy speech - was that it was necessary that there be long-term planning within the whole totality of government and yet here, in rural policy, we find provisions of a short-term nature.

What is the nature and form of the proposed revised arrangements. [More…]
The nature of these problems has been exhaustively examined and the Minister has been faced with a clear set of policy options. [More…]

The detailed terms of the Agreement follow the usual lines for projects of this nature and include provisions to ensure the necessary co-operation between the Commonwealth and the State in respect of control of expenditure, repayments and interest. [More…]
I do not know the nature of the warrants and I do not want to discuss that. [More…]
I understand that cases have arisen where a proposal form had not asked the relevant question so an answer had not been given but having regard to the nature of an insurance policy, which we all understand, the policy had been held to be invalid. [More…]
It is entirely technical by nature. [More…]
I have frequently expressed the view that the changing nature of the services provided by local government makes me wonder whether the main method of raising funds - that is, through rates assessed on property values - should not be modified or amended in some generally acceptable way. [More…]
Does the ABC’s ‘Guidelines for Current Affairs’ stipulate that (a) controversial subjects must be treated with due impartiality with a view to assembling as much information as possible on the subject so that a balanced opinion will be achieved which will better inform the general public, (b) contributions to the discussion of most controversial issues must be balanced over a reasonably short period of time, and on some occasions, depending on the nature of the subject, within the same program, and (c) the achievement of a balance of views must be planned for; it should not be left to chance. [More…]
The nature and conditions of Government assistance will be negotiated with industries on the basis of market prospects where this is appropriate. [More…]
I have had representations from a gentleman named Withers in the State Parliament in Western Australia, and the nature of the campaign that he is waging on this issue, I believe, has so misrepresented the means test that it is discouraging people from applying for allowances. [More…]
For instance, it would intrude quite powerfully into the taxation structure, adding to the regressive nature of much of that system. [More…]
A further comment on the nature of these benefits is that they represent blank cheques. [More…]
can understand that because it has not been the nature of this Parliament for many years for the Government to permit any private member’s Bill to be debated, let alone to bring it right to the culmination point of a vote. [More…]
We will not enter into arrangements with the honourable member again on matters of this nature. [More…]
Transport links are one of the main problems of the Shoalhaven Shire which are regional in nature. [More…]
Whilst it is true that all 4 claimant States have put cases to the Grants Commission again in recent years, the disabilities set out in those claims and recognised by the Commission have been of a relatively minor nature. [More…]
Nobody is trying to destroy any federal systems or anything of that nature. [More…]
The word ‘upon’, which is to be substituted is a much more diplomatic word for a Bill of this nature. [More…]

I agree with the Minister that the proper approach on a matter of this nature is to seek rationalisation of the routes involved. [More…]
The maintenance of our alliance with the United States under ANZUS remains most important for our security, since by its very nature it has created and guarantees in the Pacific a zone of peace in which the peoples of the region have for the last 20 years been free to pursue their political, economic and social goals without fear of hostile intervention or attack. [More…]
Why should not a purchaser be allowed to dispose of his dwelling in the following circumstances: In the case of death, by the provisions of a will or under the appropriate laws governing succession or intestacy; in the case of dissolution or breakdown of a marriage, by the property passing to the appropriate spouse who may or may not already be a joint purchaser; pursuant to the order of a court in divorce proceedings; on transfer or removal of the purchaser to another town for reasons of employment; or for any other reason of a non-voluntary nature considered equitable by the housing authority?

But there are loopholes or escape hatches in the arrangements - they are not intentionally there but by the nature of things this is the way it has developed - and the objective of the last Government is not only not being achieved but in fact is receding. [More…]
Such an examination would cover a very wide area, but I believe that a request of this nature could be made. [More…]
I do not doubt that it has caused embarrassment to members on both sides of this House when people have come to their offices with problems of this nature. [More…]
One other important aspect of this Bill which has never been provided for in any other Bills of this nature and which makes a significant advance, is that the States through their housing authorities may provide to local government areas bridging finance so that community facilities can be provided. [More…]
Because of the more complex nature of the DFRB benefits structure, however, the Commonwealth share of each pension cannot be calculated without considerable difficulty and, if this were to be done, there would be a further long and unacceptable delay in the actual payment of the pension increases. [More…]
Those who will be eligible will be mainly the lower income families who are paying too high a proportion of their incomes in private rents or whose accommodation is of an unsatisfactory nature. [More…]
In this way the Premiers and the State governments will know what their total commitments are and they will not have to wait until a Bill of this nature goes through this Parliament. [More…]
Neither of these factors justifies the inadequate or inappropriate nature of health services provided at present in East Gippsland by the Victorian Government. [More…]
This statement has had repercussions around Australia and I believe it is very much to be regretted that a statement of this nature was made. [More…]
But what I do want to stress is that, on tha costs side of the equation, the Government not only is doing nothing but is positively reversing the course we have been on whereby the Full Bench of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission could have become something in the nature of a pay board - a board of review of inflationary wage settlements. [More…]
Because of the problems of finding an equitable solution to this disaster, because of the problems of hardship on innocent victims of sharp company practice, and because of the conflicts and the unprecedented nature of this situation, I appeal to the Victorian Government. [More…]
The Victorian Government is trying to investigate and keep tabs on company criminals, but it is understaffed and restricted by the national nature of many of the crimes involved. [More…]

[More…]

In respect of Cooma, the temporary nature of the Snowy Mountains Authority is relevant. [More…]
Similarly, given that the existence of statutory organisations is indicative of the need for their existence, once the purpose for their intended role has disappeared or changed the nature of the organisations should be changed. [More…]
Secondy, is the role envisaged by the Corporation an appropriate one for a statutory body to fill, given the basic nature of the Australian economy and poltical system? [More…]

This Association is strongly opposed to the retrospective nature of these provisions. [More…]
But again, when we are considering the best diameter for the pipe and the nature of the capital charges which should be involved it may well be that this is relevant and that the policy announced in paragraph (e) of the amendment will prejudice a proper economic decision as to the diameter of the future pipeline.

I would have thought that it was a grave as well as dangerous precedent for the Government to hand over to an independent authority controls of a vital nature to the public interest, such as export control power. [More…]

They do not need to be provided; they are already provided by nature. [More…]
Back in the days of Burley Griffin, early in the design of Canberra, a national symbol and the Parliament were thought of as one and the same whereas, I think, if we look at Burley Griffin’s reports, we will see that he spoke of having a national symbol on Capital Hill and the Parliament on Camp Hill, or something of that nature.

The remaining clauses are mainly of a machinery nature and are similar to those contained in the existing legislation. [More…]
The existing legislation provides for a 20 per cent tolerance in the quota which remains the ideal level suited to the nature and direction of Australia’s population development. [More…]
These figures illustrate that the Distribution Commissioners approach their task with objectivity, and use the 20 per cent provision only when that is necessary because of the special nature of particular electorates. [More…]
Nonetheless, I concur with the honourable member for Moreton (Mr Killen) and the Minister for Education (Mr Beazley) that it is appropriate that we recognise the significance of an occasion when we transfer our allegiance from a monarch who is essentially British by name and nature to one who is Australian by identity and by approval of this Parliament. [More…]
If the Government will not reconsider this decision because of its sudden death nature, it should do one of 3 things. [More…]
The Government should forget about the proposal, postpone it for 12 months, bring in a double rate of sales tax so that the incentive is still there to use fruit juice or phase it out over 3 years and give the industry a reasonable time in which to adjust instead of having the sudden death nature of the proposal. [More…]

I call on the Treasurer (Mr Crean) in the course of this debate to outline the nature of the current examinations of the export incentives scheme which one would hope this Government has under active consideration, the extent of the consultation taking place between the major departments involved and the extent to which the Government proposes to consult and to involve itself in a meaningful dialogue with the principal parties concerned in the Bills before the House. [More…]
It would be reasonable in these new circumstances for the Government to make available to the Opposition parties a draft legislative program detailing the business of the House and the nature of the proposed legislation for a period of, say, 6 weeks ahead. [More…]

They are ineffectual by their very nature, design and application. [More…]
It is an extraordinary exercise in dialectics to include a statement of that nature in a Budget which seeks approval for an 18.9 per cent increase in Government expenditure. [More…]
The excessive nature of the Government’s expenditure has no better illustration than the fact that, in spite of a 25 per cent increase in personal taxation revenue, the Government has now seen fit to introduce a wide-ranging series of indirect taxation measures. [More…]
Look also at the nature of the controls - the socialist and indeed communist control - which are being exercised over this Government through the trade movement and the structure of the Government’s own party. [More…]
I welcome the announcement by the Treasurer (Mr Crean) that the grant for tourist attractions of an Australian nature introduced by the previous Government will be extended this year. [More…]
I hope that the Minister for Social Security (Mr Hayden) will soon introduce a special benefit of that nature. [More…]
Two of the comments he made were of an outstanding nature. [More…]
Perhaps the greatest inadequacy of the speeches not only of the Leader of the Opposition but of nearly all the honourable members that I have heard on the other side of the House has been the lack of recognition of the divided nature of the country the Government of which they so reluctantly handed over on 2 December 1972; the divisions in the community, the divisions among citizens, the education gap which exists - not the generation gap but the education gap. [More…]
Then where would be the equity of the person who has struggled all his life to set up a first class firm of this nature? [More…]
The last of the 3 reports that I have tabled, the report on the 54th series, covers 15 minor items of a mainly technical nature. [More…]

This Budget fails to appreciate its nature and extent. [More…]
This is a socialist Budget, and there is not the slightest doubt that further Budgets brought down by this Government will be increasingly socialist and interventionist in nature. [More…]

Mr Smith rang this doctor, emphasising the urgency of the situation and was asked by the doctor what was the nature of the difficulty. [More…]
Naturally they will not embrace matters of a Party political nature. [More…]
An exception is possible in this case in view of the special nature of the references and of the report. [More…]
This shows the parochial nature of the then Government. [More…]
Additional amounts paid to amputees vary according to the nature of the amputation suffered. [More…]
It is rather interesting to note that the amendment is such a mess of nonsense and contradictory terms that the majority of honourable members on both sides of this House have concentrated on the Budget, as well they might because of the trivial nature of the amendment. [More…]
It is with this thought in mind, perhaps, that the country people, who are so generous in their nature, will look at that aspect. [More…]
I would hope that this Labor Government would give serious consideration to the proposition that, at the first opportunity when a national election is held, the people of Australia be asked by referendum to alter the Australian Constitution to enable legislation of this nature to be given effect. [More…]
If not, what was the nature of the commitment which he gave. [More…]
We have heard previously and during this debate about the antiinflationary nature of revaluation and the effects it will have in containing prices. [More…]
It is only because they wish to feel a sense of revenge that they carry out the death penalty for severe crimes of a like nature. [More…]
It is very rarely that a criminal of this nature thinks that he will be caught. [More…]
It was only in 1957 - a matter of 16 years ago - that the last person was banged in Australia, yet since that date the incidence of crimes of a heinous nature and the threats of further crimes have not lessened; they have extended. [More…]
We are not judging on individual cases; we are setting the parameters within which others more competent than we - others who have the facts set out before them - might consider and determine in the circumstances which are there to be judged the nature of the penalty that should be enforced. [More…]
I believe that there is a very real problem in our society which relates not only to the Bill that is before us and the enforcement of the death penalty but also to the enforcement of the law itself, the respect for the law, the nature of our penal institutions and the way by which, in a society where licentiousness generally is extending, there can be bred in the hearts and minds of the citizens of this world - not just of Australia - a respect for the rule of law. [More…]
All of us are aware that there have developed patterns which we would see as almost unique in our time and if there is a greater condemnation of our society, perhaps it lies in the peculiar nature of some of the perverted crimes that exist in our world today. [More…]
I have asked the Department of Air to look at the question to see what can be done and what provisions can be made for facilities of this nature. [More…]
For that reason, I believe that the concept as advanced is good, but there does need to be a recognition that, firstly, there exists a problem in ensuring that standards apply equally to products which are imported as to those which are produced domestically and, secondly, that we need to consider the diverse nature of consumers and the diverse character of persons who are affected by applying consumer standards and ensure that the members of the Commission represent as broad a cross section of the community as is possible to ensure that everyone is taken into account before the standards themselves aTe prescribed and before decisions are taken which may react adversely against those who are, after all, the generators of wealth in our community. [More…]
Indeed, I think that there are many areas of our penal law which need to be revised, the existing penalties reconsidered and the nature of their enforcement reconsidered. [More…]
I think it should be considered in 3 areas, the first of which is the nature of crime itself. [More…]
In the deterrent area the nature of capital punishment should not be lost sight of. [More…]
Who can tell whether human nature is able to bear this madness? [More…]
Burglars might do it, other types of convicted criminals might do it, but murderers hardly ever resort to violence because of the nature of the crime - and those who become useful citizens are common. [More…]
I believe that from the nature of the offences which I have just recited the purpose of the amendment which I have now moved will be apparent. [More…]
It is the nature of the punishment, the barbarity of it, to which we have directed our attention. [More…]
The nature of violence, the incidence of violence and the increasing numbers of persons who incite persons to violence are such that there is validity in the retention of capital punishment in this area. [More…]
I think the very nature of flying means that there is a peculiar reason for aircraft to be distinguished from other forms of transport, be they ships, motor cars, trains, trams, buses, ferries or whatever. [More…]
As far as our society is concerned, one should consider the nature of hijackings and the peculiar way in which a number of dissident national groups are asserting their particular views. [More…]
The incidence of bomb attacks in London in the last few weeks, the nature of the concern at the presence of Arab terrorists in Australia today, the likelihood of action by terrorists tomorrow, whatever their national origin, make up the reason for moving this motion. [More…]
The nature of any such recommendations will affect the manner in which the guaranteed income scheme will operate. [More…]
It is more in the nature, I suggest, of total amnesia. [More…]
Their approach, in merely criticising us, can therefore be seen in its true nature as an entirely negative one. [More…]
Unfortunately I have not had time to fully verify them and get corroborative evidence, which I am always anxious to do when I raise matters of this nature in the House. [More…]
During the Budget debate I referred to the analysis of the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Snedden) relating to the supposed inflationary nature of the Budget. [More…]
The RSL was not the only organisation which believed that it should be abolished, that it was discriminatory in nature and that it had been introduced by the previous Government to provide an increase in pension for a very small percentage of those who received the general rate of pension. [More…]
I venture the view that we would expect to see something in the nature of an interim report by the end of this year. [More…]
Let me take the position a little further: The commission may recommend the establishment of a corporation and also that that corporation follow the practice adopted in the United Kingdom, that as an independent body it must return something in the nature of the bond rate on capital invested. [More…]
What will this do to the business through-put of calls of that nature? [More…]
I wonder what the honourable member for Wilmot (Mr Duthie) or the honourable member for Braddon (Mr Davies) or the honourable member for Eden Monaro (Mr Whan) think of a statement of that nature. [More…]
, unless stated to be of a confidential nature or such as should more properly be obtained by address, shall, if required by any Member, be laid on the Table. [More…]
Most of the impact statements which have been ‘ prepared to date have been in the nature of rearguard actions, if you like. [More…]
All complaints of that nature which have been made to my office and which have been investigated - as far as I am aware, anyway - have not in fact been verified; that is, the doctors have been providing free treatment or in many cases in fact have not withdrawn from the pensioner medical service. [More…]
The savings will not be passed on because it is against the nature of the system that they should be passed on. [More…]
The shopkeeper - I do not blame him because it is human nature - will still charge the same price although he will be getting the goods here for less than he paid before. [More…]
There is only one way in which to stop that and that is to alter human nature, because that is the way in which human nature works. [More…]
What sort of climate does it create with the States when a statement of that nature is made? [More…]
The bashing that this Government has given to the rural community is completely vindicative in its nature and the man who introduced this Bil! [More…]
The very nature of the excellent work done by the veterinarians and the meat inspectors of the Department means that they frequently have to arrive at the slaughter works before the normal time for commencement of work. [More…]
These markets have been built up over a number of years and they will be broken down very quickly if we are to have legislation of this nature popped on us every week or so. [More…]
The multi-purpose welfare centres originally proposed for Sydney and Melbourne were envisaged as being of a pilot nature, and would have provided one means of experimenting with ways of rationalising local services. [More…]
I ask the Minister to outline the nature of those difficulties. [More…]
In any event the special needs of particular areas, for instance, have been totally neglected in altogether too many instances by the rigid nature of previous Canberra centred decision-making. [More…]
I want to refute the suggestion, which if it has not been made in words has certainly been implied, that this is in the nature of a tax. [More…]
I suppose that it is almost, but not quite, in the nature of a mortal blow to the honour.ab’e member for Riverina, the Minister for Immigration, to find that I am losing the fatherly advice of the ‘modest member’. [More…]
We made the point that there was a commission of inquiry investigating postal matters and that it should finish its hearings before the Government makes any changes of this nature. [More…]
In respect of (b), the Australian Government will certainly participate in this project but the precise amount and nature of the assistance are still to be finalised. [More…]
A document relating to public affairs quoted from by a Minister or an Assistant Minister, unless stated to be of a confidential nature or such as should more properly be obtained by address, shall, if required by any member, be laid on the table. [More…]
If he did not want to produce the document and if the document was of a special nature there are certain rights that he has as a Minister to indicate to the House that the papers are of a character that does not require him to produce them, but he did not exercise that right. [More…]
I emphasise the words ‘quoted from’ - by a Minister or an Assistant Minister, unless stated to be of a confidential nature or such as should more properly be obtained by address, shall, if required by any Member, be laid on the table. [More…]
I believe that the Committee had made up its mind, before it began its hearing, to find something conclusive of this nature. [More…]
the conduct of the employer that is tre subject of the charge was reasonably justified by reason of the unlawful nature of the act or thing referred to in paragraph (a) of this sub-section. “ [More…]
the conduct of the employer that is the subject of the charge was reasonably justified by reason of the unlawful nature of the act or thing referred to in paragraph (a) of this sub-section. “ [More…]
I suspect that the additions were thought up by a lawyer because it seems to be the nature of a lawyer to wear a belt and braces. [More…]
the conduct of the employer that is the subject of the charge was reasonably justified by reason of the unlawful nature of the act or thing referred to in paragraph (a) of this subsection. [More…]
the conduct of the employer that is the subject of the charge was reasonably justified by reason of the unlawful nature of the act or thing referred to in paragraph (a) of this sub-section. [More…]
All that the employer has to say is that the employee was doing something unlawful and that whatever he, the employer, did - whether it was dismissal or discipline in any way at all - could reasonably be justified by reason of the unlawful nature of the act or thing that the person against whom he took the action was doing at the time. [More…]
It is a complete defence for the employer to be able to say that he acted reasonably having regard to the unlawful nature of the act which the person was performing or that he took the action because what the person was doing was unlawful under the civil and crimi-nal law. [More…]
This has been caused by a variety of factors, amongst which must be included at the forefront the changing and dynamic nature of industrial relations which involve interaction between labour, management and government. [More…]
It is not only a question of wages and conditions but also of the kind of work, say, its repetitive nature, as with the dreary and unending task of tightening the same type of nut on the production line. [More…]
It is in fact a public admission of the untenable and unwarranted nature of the provisions which this Government sought to introduce last session. [More…]
A factor that would tend to lend greater credibility to the Minister’s claims that this Bill has the fundamental objective of improving the nature of industrial relations in Australia would be some mention by him of the committee of inquiry. [More…]
I remind the House of this fundamental truth, that in the industrial jurisdiction there is an overwhelming need to pay far more attention to the positive initiatives which can be taken to improve the nature of the working environment. [More…]
The few fleeting moments of joy that I get from this debate arise from the opportunity to see them together again arm in arm supporting even a minor motion of this nature. [More…]
In addition, I hope that those members opposite who waste the time of the Parliament by moving motions such as this will realise that they cannot be allowed to continue to waste the time of the Parliament and then expect to be able to have time available to consider statements or other matters of that nature which are of great importance. [More…]
This has happened not only in relation to these talks and the talks on independence which 1 mentioned a little earlier in my speech, but also in the disagreement over the airport proposals and the disagreement over the nature of aid programs. [More…]
We in Australia ought to be able to avoid circumstances of that nature if we are prepared to enter into contractual arrangements with Papua New Guinea at the time of independence. [More…]
The Minister for Defence has been in close consultation with the Papua New Guinea Government and we are convinced that this is the right way to proceed because the nature of the Defence Force for Papua New Guinea is primarily a matter for the Papua New Guinea Government itself to decide. [More…]
There has been evidence in recent years of Increasing consciousness of the right of Aboriginal Australians to a choice about the nature of the future that government policies are designing for them. [More…]
He is sincere and genuine in things of this nature and I am certain that he will go to great lengths to try to get to the bottom of it and to see that the child Nola receives the best possible deal. [More…]
I beg the Minister, knowing that he has an active interest and a generous nature in this field, to recognise that in many cases wisdom is much more difficult and much more necessary than generosity. [More…]
Opportunity is being taken in clauses 4 and 6 of the Bill to make some amendments of a formal nature to sections 7 and 13 of the Representation Act. [More…]
This is human nature. [More…]
If the Premier wanted to argue that the Commonwealth should not make grants of this nature dependent on a State Act he should have said so and should not have tried to trick people into supporting his candidates and then disappointing them afterwards. [More…]
Owing to the fragmented nature of our health and welfare facilities, people needing assistance are often unable to locate the source and they wander through a bureaucratic maze of government, semigovernment and voluntary agencies, becoming more and more distressed as they fail to overcome their emotional or financial problems. [More…]
It has equivocated, it has vacillated and it has taken piecemeal measures - sometimes of a grandiose nature to distract attention from their ineffectiveness as anti-inflationary measures. [More…]
This Bill represents a further example of the ad hoc nature of this Government’s economic decision making. [More…]
The Speaker has very little right under the Standing Orders with relation to questions - the nature of questions or answers to questions. [More…]
A committee system of this nature would not restrict the rights of members to debate legislation. [More…]
He referred also to questions on notice and matters of that nature. [More…]
I was a bit upset in a roundabout way that the honourable member for Wannon made a slighting reference to my desire to move the gag and things of that nature. [More…]
Consultations and exchanges of information have already taken place with Canada, whose experience of control of its industries and resources by multi-national corporations is similar in nature to Australia’s experience but in fact greater in degree. [More…]
This scrutiny is necessary because of the highly selective nature of the process. [More…]
But for many years the responsibility for financing education and providing the resources for the provision of education of a general nature or of a particular nature, such as was required by the non-English speaking migrants, was that of the States and of course, this is where the scheme of things broke down. [More…]
Industry, as I have said, because of its highly competitive nature is loath to place these people on its payroll. [More…]
As I mentioned a moment ago, it is too much to expect the Government to accept a motion of this nature in thelast 20 minutes of the sitting, particularly if the motion is in relation to the tabling of a paper which the person seeking to table it would not let me read before he asked whether he could table it. [More…]
In the past the special needs of particular areas have been neglected through the rigid nature of the previous administration and the way that centralised administration or decision making took place in Canberra. [More…]
This is the fragmented nature of the system that exists and will continue unless action such as that proposed by this magnificent document entitled the ‘Australian Assistance Plan’ is agreed to by this House and by the Parliament and is implemented by the Minister for Social Security (Mr Hayden) and his Department. [More…]
Now, however, local government is involved in many other activities, such as those of a welfare nature. [More…]
Naturally, there are other government departments which are vital areas of interest in the nature of economic policy. [More…]
No one seriously argues with the proposition that the Government should be able to determine the nature of its economic policy within “the framework of its parliamentary party. [More…]
The whole thesis of the Treasury White Paper was in contra-distinction to the nature of the Budget which subsequently was brought down by the Treasurer. [More…]
The restricted nature of this debate does not provide an opportunity to make detailed comments on the role of the Treasury in the decision-making process. [More…]
In spite of the severe nature of our current inflationary problem the Treasurer has failed to make a major statement to the Parliament on the economy. [More…]
The worrying aspect of the allocation of finance lies under the heading of Salaries and Payments in the nature of Salaries’. [More…]
So frequently when honourable members of the Opposition have pointed to the fact that the Budget by its very nature has contributed to inflation Government supporters have said: ‘Tell us what you would save money on. [More…]
I repeat that the allocation for salaries and payments in the nature of salaries for the Treasury - every Australian should take note of this - has risen from $91 m to $132m. [More…]
However, it is clear that because attitudes towards these groups tend to be formed at an early age, public education programs of this nature have a very limited achievement. [More…]
In Australia it has taken a European form and I think its nature can be seen from the more or less official broadsheet ‘What is Workers’ Control?’ [More…]
About half the personnel of the Department of Works comprises a technical force of engineers, architects and the like of world renown and they undertake work of a very important nature overseas. [More…]
Given the commercial nature of this activity, the financial assistance to be provided for this purpose will comprise a grant of $1Om and a repayable advance - the exact terms of which have yet to be determined - which is currently estimated at $5m but could vary depending upon the level of and trends in deposits and advances, etc., when final settlement occurs. [More…]
The scope and nature of it might wait for perhaps a fortnight, but I do not think that it should be indefinitely delayed. [More…]
That legislation will make readily available to our citizens information, whether it is to be found in reports or in documents, of a governmental nature. [More…]
The references which the honourable member for Mackellar (Mr Wentworth) made about the Minister in this regard, whether it be shipbuilding or any other aspect of his portfolio, definitely do not line up with the nature of the man as I and many other members who have worked with him know him. [More…]
If the honourable member takes frivolous points of order of that nature, the Chair will take action. [More…]
1) 1973-74 which relates to salaries and payments in the nature of salary, travelling and subsistence and other allied matters. [More…]
Is the Minister in a position to comment on the nature of the appeals? [More…]
Over a longer term I am in favour of the raising of the real wage and not only decreasing hours of work but - I think this is even more important - also using the increased leisure time coupled together in the form of extra holidays, long week-ends or something of that nature and not dissipated simply in a few minutes off in each day of work. [More…]
I am also disturbed at the complete disregard shown by honourable members opposite for the recommendations of the Interim Schools Committee in the Karmel Report, which is well known to them and which surely they must have examined, lt outlines the structure and functions of the Schools Commission, which is the very reverse of centralisation of the educational process, lt is couched in terms that allow examination of a wide variety of problems in the educational field of a structural nature and an educational nature and also the exciting prospects of future change. [More…]
I believe that the setting up of the Schools Commission, such as is proposed by the Minister, will allow us to provide sufficient resources of both a human and material nature to give the educational experience appropriate to the society of today. [More…]
I congratulate the Minister for Education on the nature of the Bill that he has brought forward to form the Australian Schools Commission. [More…]
This Government inherited certain educational structures but this year, under the guidance of the present Minister for Education, we have had measures aimed at assistance in the education of isolated children, and a very high proportion of those children, by the very nature of things, attend Catholic schools. [More…]
So we are concerned to see that the representative nature of the membership of the commission is specified in the Bill. [More…]
Clause 4 is the clause which determines the composition and nature of the Schools Commission. [More…]
In the case of agriculture and for many industrial commodities of a traditional nature, I pointed to the difficulty for all countries of making further progress in liberalising trade unless a much more realistic approach, indeed a much more humane approach, was taken to the social and political, as well as the economic, problems arising from the adjustment processes brought into play by the freeing of trade. [More…]
We feel that because of the representative nature of the Schools Commission, as envisaged in our amendment, it is unnecessary for the functions of the Commission to be duplicated by a State board. [More…]
Secondly, we believe that the clause, as it is outlined in the Bill, does not guarantee any really representative nature. [More…]
The whole of that paragraph indicates the general nature of the boards. [More…]
I add these words of support and assure the Minister that we are profoundly interested, as he is, in supporting legislation of this nature. [More…]
If that is not carnage of the worst possible nature, I do not know what is. [More…]
The nature of the legislation covers an area of concern, not only to parliamentarians, but also to people whereever they are in Australia. [More…]
Because of the experimental nature of the project it would be difficult to estimate numbers. [More…]
The choice of different bases to the statistical series does not affect the nature of the results of the study. [More…]
During question time the honourable member for Moreton (Mr Killen) made a friendly interjection which was, of course, of a sarcastic nature, to say that I had surrendered in regard to the matter of the statistics then before the House. [More…]
The international travel trade, now knows more about Australia and is generally better equipped to portray Australia to its clients as a result of the balanced and technically proficient nature of the Commission’s promotional activities. [More…]
I have outlined the nature of the Opposition’s objections to this legislation. [More…]
It seems quite clear to me that, before farreaching legislation of this nature is considered, such questions should be clearly thought through and answered. [More…]
Once again we are to see yet further proliferation of statutory organisations, each having vast individual economic powers, and able to exercise very substantial influences in the operations of the economy, its direction and nature. [More…]
Discussions of this kind have been informal, and it has been the responsibility of the Secretary of the Department to decide on the nature of the advice given. [More…]
There was nothing of a constructive nature that they wanted to offer. [More…]
I do not want to delay the Committee for very long, but I do want to say, having listened to the right honourable member for Lowe (Mr McMahon), that I think he has failed to understand the nature of this Bill. [More…]
I have asked the same questions as the right honourable member for Lowe and received privately answers which satisfied me that because it would be in the private sector, those sections of the AIDC which are operating in the private sector should be in every nature private, which means that eminent firms of chartered accountants - I do not see why we should not mention the firm in this case; it is the firm well known throughout Australia of Edwin V. Nixon and Partners - should continue in the role of auditors. [More…]
Anything in the nature of socialism would take place under the section relating to the national interest. [More…]
against the order of Nature’. [More…]
TV could be a power for good, now it is being used to propagate all that is worst in human nature. [More…]
The very nature of the type of programs the Corporation seeks to establish requires the amassing of massive actuarial reserves to meet liability under contracts stretching many years ahead. [More…]
It seems to me that the Australian people have already clearly indicated that whilst they are happy and satisfied with the general private enterprise nature of the economy, they want to see a properly constituted public authority express a little more power and a little more competitive influence in this situation. [More…]
And the serious implications of this are that we are being asked to create a powerful central planning authority with extremely wide terms of reference - far wider than those of the Tariff Board - and a body which will, by the nature of its genesis in the national Parliament and the deference with which it will inevitably be treated by the Government, exercise an influence of such power as should not be vested in any organisation outside the Government itself. [More…]
The meeting will be in the nature of a symposium. [More…]
There is no suggestion in the legislation of anything of that nature emerging. [More…]
The general nature of the Tariff Board has demonstrated that the Board has been able to provide this type of assistance. [More…]
This is one of the problems that is predominant in Australia because of the relatively dry environment and the arid nature of a lot of the area. [More…]
For example, wildlife cannot be conserved simply by the establishment of nature reserves. [More…]
When analysed in the calmer atmosphere that should prevail in a department such as that headed by the Minister, we should, if we find there are risks of an environmental nature which cause us to question politically made decisions, be strong enough to be outspoken and to have those decisions changed. [More…]
The timing of income tax deductions for capital expenditure incurred under a contract made before 22 August 1973 or for ordinary recurring business expenditure that is not of a capital nature will not be affected by the Budget proposal. [More…]
The States have been left to raise taxes and charges in the fields open to them, which are, by nature, limited and regressive. [More…]
We also consider that there is merit in seeking limitations in the application of section 96 of the Constitution to restrict the nature of the conditions which the Commonwealth can impose on grants made under this section. [More…]
Before World War II, payments by the Commonwealth to the States were mainly of a marginal nature confined to specific aspects. [More…]
I believe that the Commonwealth government should retain overall control of the direction and nature of economic growth. [More…]
Some grants of that nature are what is required for the purpose either of helping them to service their loans or of helping them in some other field. [More…]
The level and nature of the aid is evidence that the Government recognises the special place of Papua New Guinea in its policies. [More…]
Where agricultural aid has been provided, in many instances we have found that the nature of the Australian knowledge, skill and experience has been far more suitable in South East Asia in particular, but also in other areas of Asia, Africa and South America, than European skills which, of course, are not based on a climate similar to our own and where the nature of farming and pastoral conditions are so different. [More…]
I should have thought that if some of the hundreds of millions of dollars that would be necessary for a program of this nature could be secured, at the end of the next decade the enormous concentrations of gas at Barikewa might become commercial and they could be very significant in the future development of the Territory. [More…]
If United States know-how through companies of this nature can be encouraged to an even greater degree to come to the Territory there may be some possibility of Papua New Guinea more quickly reaching the stage where it will be able to develop its own programs and to stand to a greater degree than ever before on its own feet in terms of financial assistance. [More…]
It is possible, but always recognising the possibility of unpredictable contingencies at the same time, that the nature of international power itself will change. [More…]
The more I think about it and the more I drive past Capital Hill, I am more than ever convinced that God himself put Capital Hill where it is for the purpose of giving to our nation a position for its parliament house that would surpass any other position nature has bestowed upon any other country. [More…]
The nature of all such aid is determined in consultation with the recipient countries to ensure that the maximum effect is achieved. [More…]
Our strutting, our crudeness, our know-all qualities, our apparent innocence but our questionable credibility on the nature of the region and its problems, our unwillingness to listen - all these features of the behaviour of the Australian Government are making their mark on our reputation in our region. [More…]
If the honourable member for Eden-Monaro was quite content that no excess money would be raised for this purpose he should have been only too prepared to accept the general nature of the other amendment which we moved to ensure that any surplus funds would be used for the purposes that the Government intended, namely, the purpose referred to in the second reading speech which was for a meat inspection service. [More…]
There is a real difficulty because of the difference between principal States and mendicant States and there is a difficulty because of the nature of some of the war service land settlement schemes themselves. [More…]
Normally, vessels for refitting work of this nature must be taken to a yard, examined thoroughly and then negotiations entered into with the shipyard on the refitting. [More…]
My understanding is that normally for refitting work of this nature tenders are not called but that the work and its cost must be dealt with on the spot according to the requirements. [More…]
This area is another marvel of nature. [More…]
I think we have had consistent rulings from the past and the present Speakers that general comments of this nature are not to be taken as personal reflections on individual members. [More…]
Other amending sections are of a machinery nature, for example, section 6 refers to metric distance in lieu of imperial; section 10 amendments arise mainly because of changes in drafting style. [More…]
These short-term profits are essentially in the nature of income and ought to be subject to tax as such. [More…]
the House of Representatives has resolved that, by reason of the urgent nature of the work, it is expedient that it be carried out without having been referred to the Committee; or [More…]
The purpose of meetings of a private nature is to help the Committee to formulate its report and its future program. [More…]
We came to the conclusion that we should not recommend to the Parliament that a second Committee of a public works nature should be set up. [More…]
However, these reports provide no detailed analysis of the nature and rationale for individual investments. [More…]
By and large the only mistake the honourable member could make would be to interfere with industries that are going very well on the basis of an economy already set and on the basis of huge world demand, perhaps of a temporary nature. [More…]
There is no reduction in salaries and payments in the nature of salary. [More…]
The initial capital allowance has been discontinued which has meant that with the poor seasons for the last 4 or 5 years producers certainly need assistance of this nature. [More…]
The Public Service Board is the appropriate authority to consider claims of this nature. [More…]
The rapid rise of tourists to the Park, the fragile nature of the arid environment and the present management practices adopted have all led to great pressures on the area. [More…]
A number of those inquiries have been of a highly controversial nature. [More…]
If they want to suggest that Coca-Cola or products of a like nature are good for children, then I just cannot agree with them. [More…]
It has been pointed out that we will be able to take the opportunity to take new initiatives that will take the growers out of the strait jacket of the past when they were tied to a procedure which took their product and denatured it. [More…]
There was no nature in it. [More…]
First of all it portends a break from traditional methods of institutional care for mental illness in that money will be provided exclusively for community health services that are of a non-institutional nature. [More…]
It is a practice in the United Kingdom to provide centres of an informal nature which people can attend in the evenings. [More…]
I would have thought that on the basis of payment of living allowance to people in universities the matter to be assessed is really the basis of the family income - the nature of the means test - and therefore whether or not a particular student ought to be paid an allowance under the scheme. [More…]
One of the problems in debating a Bill of this nature is that so many of the Bills are interlocked and integrated that one feels some restrictions in debating them. [More…]
Some 25 years ago awards of that nature were scarce. [More…]
I fully appreciate that there will be occasions when, because of the sensitive personal nature of matters under consideration, those matters might better be dealt with in private. [More…]
It would be easy to be tempted into making comments of a Party political nature such as saying: ‘Why did you not do that in the 23 years you were in office?’ [More…]
However, I should like to forget that tonight because of the positive nature of the debate so far. [More…]
However, the nature of a meat inspection operation is such that meat inspectors are frequently required to come to work before the commencement of the kill in the morning and to stay after the conclusion of the kill in the evening. [More…]
I think the honourable member for New England will agree that this compensation is very seriously needed because there is an inbuilt fear - it is only human nature - among those who run large herds of cattle under extensive grazing conditions when getting all their cattle tested. [More…]
I believe that any misunderstanding that existed in Japan about the nature of the Government’s policies on minerals and energy and on overseas investment have now been cleared away. [More…]
Mr Speaker, Australia faces a problem of unprecedented nature and proportions. [More…]
What I ask the Minister to do is set up a committee of representatives of Federal and State governments, - as well as industry, to undertake a comprehensive public examination of the nature and extent of Australia’s future energy requirements and sources. [More…]
The limited nature of this debate does not provide an opportunity to detail all the areas of uncertainty. [More…]
I have referred to two major areas of the Bill to indicate the nature of the uncertainties which are, in fact, general to this legislation. [More…]
The penalties that can be imposed are of a criminal nature and can rise to as high as $25,000 for each offence. [More…]
It is a difficult situation in which to arbitrate because, as I have mentioned, the optimum competition which exists in the market place appears to me at least to be transitionary in nature ‘and the economic mechanisms are not stabilising at that point. [More…]
It is well established in economic theory that changes in costs of this nature are the basic factor resulting in industry-wide price increases. [More…]
But is it essential that every conceivable agreement of this nature be so outlawed? [More…]
What is the point of issuing a contract to a tenderer if he has a provocative nature or if he is going to cause industrial disputes quite unnecessarily by locking people out over matters which have no connection at all with public works projects? [More…]
In conjunction with this study several projects of a more specific nature are in progress. [More…]
Does he intend carrying out a survey on urban renewal projects, including the nature of capital funding of such projects, being undertaken by (a) State Governments, (b) local governments, (c) private enterprises and (d) any of the foregoing in conjoint cooperation. [More…]
At this stage I do not intend to carry out a survey on urban renewal projects including the nature of capital funding on projects being undertaken by (a) State Governments, (b) local governments, (c) private enterprises and (d) any of the foregoing in conjoint cooperation but I may in the future as the need arises and in line with the Government’s economic priorities. [More…]
As background, I draw the attention of honourable members to the complex nature of this particular inquiry. [More…]
Last evening, of course, I made some allegations regarding the slap-happy nature of the drafting of the Bill and my honourable friend from Griffith (Mr Donald Cameron) joined me in those remarks. [More…]
One would have thought, having regard to the circumstances, that he would have endeavoured to have given something in the nature of an elaborate explanation, but he was brevity in the extreme. [More…]
I want to make it quite plain and quite definite that any appointments that are made in a technical sphere and technical capacity by the Government should be made on technical ability and not on like sympathies of a political nature. [More…]
It is absolute nonsense to say that this is anti-inflationary in its nature. [More…]
There are also some amendments of a consequential nature which can be found in clauses 2 and 5 of the Bill. [More…]
This is brought about simply by the dilatory nature of solicitors. [More…]
In order to enable the Minister to determine whether any expenditure of a capital nature (including the replacement of capital equipment) should be approved by him, the State authorities shall ensure that: [More…]
He cites what is happening in overeas countries but presents no evidence to back up his assertions except for the hoary old fallback of human nature. [More…]
In one breath he mentions people with minor illnesses and ailments going to public hospitals rather than to a general practitioner and then says: ‘If this is free, human nature being what it is, as is experienced in the United Kingdom and Canada and, indeed, was experienced in Queensland not too long ago, a great many people will flock for treatment’. [More…]
This need is a much greater one and more difficult to meet because of its personal nature and the consequent demands in times and effort. [More…]
It will not reveal the nature of the consultation. [More…]
What the President of the Medical Society of Nova Scotia wrote goes to show that the Australian Medical Association, either being uninformed or intentionally, has misled not only the people of Australia but its own members by articles of the nature of that to which I have referred, which have been without any foundation whatsoever. [More…]
But he is not prepared to take individual strike issues of an unusual nature and get down to a face to face, nitty gritty decision. [More…]
<4) In respect of those with relatives in Australia what was the nature of the relationship. [More…]
The response of the Treasurer (Mr Crean) to the nature of Australia’s economic difficulties has been an exercise in vacillating apologia. [More…]
The degree to which the Treasurer may seek to blame overseas pressures can only denote the ineffectual nature of his own policies since, as interest rates continue to ease overseas, in Australia they continue to rise indicating that in the development of corrective policies Australia is lagging behind the world’s developed nations. [More…]
As the position has worsened it has taken a number of actions that have proved to be selective by nature and a total failure in application. [More…]
I am saying that there are other matters of a much graver nature which have tremendous financial implications for the commercial world. [More…]
I have in mind leaks of the report of the Coombs Task Force, the so-called demolition task force that has wreaked havoc, as it turns out, on the countryside by the implementation by the Government of certain policies which are typically anti-rural in nature. [More…]
If a person is paying additional tax and that entitles him, allegedly free of means test, to go into a public hospital, human nature being what it is, there will be an enormously increased demand on the services of the public hospitals in this country, which are already overtaxed and at top utilisation. [More…]
By the nature of these sorts of calculations, errors do occur. [More…]
I remind him that, in the nature of financing, in any national obligation or public undertaking there is a growing cost burden and that the cost estimates for 1972 are not applicable this year or the following year. [More…]
There is not such of a volun tary nature in the present system of health insurance. [More…]
One cannot afford to take the risk of missing out, except in those cases - they are all too often - where one is too poor to afford the expensive nature of such insurance. [More…]
The Australian Government Publishing Service does much in publishing many Government publications, some of which like Hansard are undoubtedly widely read, while others are of a more topical nature on Australian areas and Australian happenings. [More…]
I say quite firmly that in my view the Post Office, by its nature, should maintain a direct and clear responsibility to this Parliament. [More…]
For this reason I am arranging a meeting of Ministers responsible for wildlife and national parks in Australia to establish a Council of Nature Conservation Ministers to discuss matters such as those raised by the honourable member. [More…]
They are all lawyers and would be skilled in dealing with details of this nature. [More…]
I do not intend to reveal to the public the nature of those talks. [More…]
It contains provisions already announced by the Treasurer (Mr Crean) in his Budget Speech of 21 August, a number of amendments which are of an administrative nature and other amendments relating to eligibility of pensioner medical service entitlements. [More…]
The Bill includes a number of amendments which are of an administrative nature. [More…]
A further amendment of an administrative nature relates to proposals made by the Australian Society of Anaesthetists and the AMA, to the Medical Fees Tribunal. [More…]
Members must have an equal opportunity to put their views on measures of this nature. [More…]
But we will do all we can to make sure that the people of Australia fully understand the clauses of the Bill, the nature of the Bill and what it is all about. [More…]
I believe that when a Senate election takes place at the time of a House of Representatives election the very nature of this chamber, the nature of the election of government, the nature of policies that originate in this chamber and the machinations of power that those who abuse it in the Labor Party seek, are likely to distort the democratic process, and particularly the democratic process that applies to the election of senators. [More…]
But the very fact that the honourable member for Diamond Valley and the Minister for Services and Property (Mr Daly) have founded the principal substance of their argument on cost reflects the insubstantial nature of their argument. [More…]
The Karmel Committee identified a need for more general practitioners, yet I think it ignored the advice of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners which, because of the better community orientation of the Wollongong hospital and the nature of the proposed curriculum, supported the Wollongong submission over that of Newcastle. [More…]
After the work has been completed there will be no work of a comparable nature that would justify the continuation of the Royal Australian Air Force Airfield Construction Squadron in Australia. [More…]
This man, who worked on the home front, is eligible today under the old regulations for housing benefits because of the nature of his enlistment but not his service. [More…]
As a matter of historical interest social service proposals of a wide-ranging nature which were submitted at the same time obtained a majority in all States and an overall majority. [More…]
One real step forward in the creation of such a system would be the democratisation of the election procedures of these Houses, as the undemocratic nature of their composition currently would prevent their holding the respect of the electorate when they inhibited the activities of government. [More…]
By its nature, it is peculiarly well equipped to meet the diverse preferences of the population, to develop new kinds of public services and new methods of financing them, to counter the excessive concentration of population and industry in the few great conurbations and to maintain a viable system of democracy. [More…]
The nature of the breach of privilege relates to contempt of honourable members of the House generally and contempt of an honourable member of the House precisely. [More…]
It is not satisfactory for us to give to the universities a great amount of research work which is on-going in nature because basically the universities, when they have produced their doctors of philosophy and people with various other degrees, lose a continuity which can be maintained only within the confines of a professional research organisation. [More…]
The nature of this Agreement and the whole course of events since 25 January are an example of co-operative federalism at work. [More…]
I am surprised at the nature of this region. [More…]
I would suggest to those honourable members who have made statements of this nature that they should have a look at northern Australia. [More…]
I will not endeavour to describe the nature of the slur but it is based completely on false premises. [More…]
I do not have any more exhaustive list of the schemes of a non-contributory nature. [More…]
Even allowing that instructions had been followed, the very nature of my Department’s personal records on its clients, the absence of security measures to protect privacy and the easy and rapid retrieval of computer stored information make it proper that all procedures should be reviewed. [More…]
So that there will be no confusion on the nature of that access, I quote from a note I received from my Department on this matter: [More…]
As the material to be extracted from the files is of statistical nature, it will not be possible to identify any of the individuals involved from the published results of the survey. [More…]
I made it the practice that files should never be seen other than by officers of the Department and, if information were to be made available, it should be statistical information of a general nature rather than of a personal nature. [More…]
It is not in the nature of a living organism to remain monotonously the same from year to year and from age to age. [More…]
Surely issues such as the rights of individuals, or the nature of parliamentary government, are of vital concern to all Australian citizens. [More…]
As a matter of historical interest social service proposals of a wide-ranging nature which were submitted at the same time obtained a majority in all States and an overall majority. [More…]
Constitutions, by their very nature, should be hard to change, precisely because they are in effect the rules which govern the Government of the country. [More…]
It would better preserve the federal nature of the Constitution, and it is one which I hope the Government will be inclined to accept. [More…]
Although we all hope that such sinkings will not occur in the future we know that in the nature of things they may. [More…]
But its work will be backed up, I am sure, by the inquiry which the Government has instituted, and I do not cavil either at the nature of the inquiry or the personnel appointed to conduct it. [More…]
The choice of different bases to the statistical series does not affect the nature of the results of the study. [More…]
Sir Allan Callaghan, the former chairman of the Australian Wheat Board, had been commissioned by me to look at the general nature of assistance available to the wheat industry. [More…]
The political nature of the wheat deals going on at that time was very well demonstrated by Dr Patterson at the time. [More…]
The continuing high rate of inflation vindicates the comments made by the Opposition at that time and, more particularly, simply highlights the ineffectual nature of this Government’s economic policies. [More…]
The basis of taxation in New Zealand differed from that in Canada, but in both countries the Life Offices argued against any change because of the long-term nature of their business. [More…]
The Opposition cannot agree that there should be no provisions of a transitional nature as is the accepted convention in such amendments to taxation legislation. [More…]
The limited nature of this debate does not permit detailed comments on each of the 3 Bills before the House. [More…]
In his second reading speech the Treasurer stated that ‘these short-term profits are essentially in the nature of income and ought to be subject to tax as such’. [More…]
He was terribly upset about that and I can understand his concern because it was obviously based on the very special, even peculiar one might say, nature of his electorate. [More…]
This, by the way, is without even making reference to the nature of the war memorial projects themselves, all of them necessarily non-profit, and almost all of them providing reasonable and useful facilities as well for a broad cross-section of the community. [More…]
I think most honourable members will be aware of how large scale funds of this nature are raised today. [More…]
On that basis there is value in keeping the retention allowance, but of course where it is not applicable - and I believe it is unfortunate that it will be retained - is to the companies which are of a family company nature or of smaller companies with an income of less than $30,000 a year. [More…]
When that information becomes available the Government will be able to assess more accurately the nature and the amount of reinsurance being placed outside Australia. [More…]
Because of the potentially hazardous nature of the proposed plant, the environmental impact study ought to be freely published and the community should be able to comment upon it. [More…]
These complications are of such a nature that even the [More…]
Is there any justice in a measure of that nature? [More…]
I would agree with those people who point out that handicapped children, whatever the nature of the handicap, should have special treatment, special resources and a special place in the thinking of governments, whether they be at the federal or State level. [More…]
They expressed particular concern about those working in industries the nature of whose employment precluded the accrual of entitlement to long service leave. [More…]
Because of the nature of what remedial teachers try to do for the children they must have very small groups. [More…]
I join with those honourable members who have praised the allocation of moneys for special projects of an innovatory nature. [More…]
Whilst we must and do have special projects of an innovatory nature being carried out within the government school system. [More…]
I do not want to say any more about the matter, but it is atrocious that children are being used in a political concept in amendments of this nature. [More…]
I invite the right honourable gentleman to indicate the nature of the matter or matters about which he is seeking information in respect of committees with which my Department is associated. [More…]
Do the results raise questions in relation to the representative nature of the Australian Wool Industry Conference? [More…]
Several large projects of a developmental nature that even every member of the Opposition would support to the hilt, like the Redcliffs venture, have in fact been considered by AIDC. [More…]
Consequently I anticipated that a question of this nature might be asked today. [More…]
I did not hear the Minister during the first part of his comments, but because of the very substantial nature of the matters which are referred to I take it that the Minister having taken the opportunity of making a statement to the House, the Leader of the House (Mr Daly) will allow the Opposition Parties during the days that remain before this Parliament rises to debate this matter. [More…]
I presume that one can expect attacks in any operation of this nature. [More…]
It is also worth noting that last year in the review of the scheme which took place at the same time as the rehabilitation loan was increased, the maximum term for the repayment of the farm build-up loan was increased, from 20 years to 30 years and I think that indicates the very real requirement which exists for financing the operations of primary producers on terms which take account of the inevitable long term nature of much of that form of investment. [More…]
There is of course a marked contrast between the principal States and the mendicant States as to the nature of soldier settlement blocks allocated within each State. [More…]
It is unfortunate that schemes for rural reconstruction are necessary but I conclude with the words of Rachel Carson: The control of nature is a phrase conceived in arrogance, born of the Neanderthal age of biology and philosophy, when it was supposed that nature exists for the convenience of man’. [More…]
Unfortunately, this is the kind of situation to which my nature does not easily adapt itself. [More…]
Let me deal with the nature of the locusts. [More…]
The character of any nation is determined as much by the manner in which problems are resolved as by the nature of the solution arrived at. [More…]
By the very nature of our past relations and the agreed tasks, it will be substantial. [More…]
I suppose that one of the greatest advantages is the fact that there is less pollution, a better life closer to nature and less time lost in transportation. [More…]
Many of the people to whom I refer are farmers by nature, by tradition and by actual experience. [More…]
A Medical Benefits Advisory Committee will be established with the broad functions of determining the nature and scope of medical services to be included in the Schedule and the fees for those services. [More…]
As this project was planned during 1969-70 and has been held up awaiting the development of the infrastructure, particularly the port of Bunbury, will the Government reconsider its attitude on foreign capital investment in this instance, bearing in mind the true decentralised nature of the project?

If nothing else, the Winter report highlights the political nature of the referendum proposals brought down by this Government. [More…]
I guess that this country has had something in the nature of wage control for nearly 65 years. [More…]
It seeks to take away from the Governor-General the right to oversee acquisitions of a voluntary nature which’ the Department of Services and Property takes care of. [More…]
The Department of Services and property deals with literally hundreds of acquisitions of a voluntary or compulsory nature throughout the year. [More…]
Clearly, amendment of all Acts which concurrently allow statutory corporations to make their own acquisitions or arrange their own rentals would not be practicable for a long time to come, although recent amendments to the Snowy Mountains Engineering Corporation Act 1973 and to the Australian National Airlines Commission Act 1973 have included appropriate amendments of this nature. [More…]
To illustrate further the dispersal and unco-ordinated nature of research activity, the Department of Science is responsible for the annual sum paid to the CSIRO, this allocation amounting to $57m in 1972-73. [More…]
Any review of the existing scheme should take into account not only the existing policies which seek to encourage research and development but also the experience and practice in comparable countries and the nature of the recommendations to which I have referred. [More…]
It is true that the Act does not formally require all foreign takeovers to be notified, but in these circumstances it is possible for the Government to draw conclusions as to both the incidence and the nature of those proposals which are proceeded with and which cannot be revoked under the Act. [More…]
I have already outlined to the House the nature of guidelines which we would put down to govern the operation of foreignowned companies in Australia. [More…]
I ask the Treasurer to outline, during the course of this debate, the nature of any assessment which may have been made or, as a minimum requirement, to give an undertaking to provide the Opposition Parties with a detailed analysis of the operation of the Act in the near future. [More…]
The nature of the partnership between Australian and foreign equity, capital that is appropriate in each case will need to be assessed on its merits. [More…]
There are other crimes which we would perhaps consider of a tendentious or not a serious nature. [More…]
Depending on the nature of the planned campaign and the overall funds availability this support may take the form of press and/or radio advertisements placed in the local media, together with specially prepared printed material such as posters, brochures and leaflets. [More…]
In the first instance, there is the question of the inter-connected nature of this Government’s policies in urban and regional development. [More…]
The power generation equipment proposed is of a convertible nature, and if it proves to be undesirable to use oil for power generation purposes it will be quite inexpensive to switch over to the use of gas. [More…]
I would hope that we will get realistic constructive suggestions from the Opposition, and I hope we will be able to arrive at a way of using the resources of this House to allow more constructive proposals to be made at earlier stages than unfortunately has been the case when matters of this kind are debated in this way, when the debate seems to be very largely party political in nature. [More…]
The Opposition believes that the nature of the commission which it is proposed to establish and the powers which it would seek to give the commission, in the terms in which the Opposition expresses those powers by the amendments it moved and by the amendments supported in the Senate, would provide a much better commission than the one which the Government has in mind. [More…]
They are leaving this industry in 1973 because nothing of a substantial nature has been done for the past 2 decades. [More…]
The Opposition will not attempt to delete paragraph (f) of clause 6 although it does give power to the Corporation to extend by regulation its powers when we have, one would hope, in the Bill restrictions of a legislative nature. [More…]
I do not blame the Government altogether but the Bill has come in too late in the session and there is too little time for a debate of this nature which warrants about two-thirds of a day. [More…]
A membership comparison will be made, not between this marketing corporation and other commodity corporations or bodies of a similar nature, but between this Corporation and the previous Apple and Pear Board. [More…]
I ask that the Chair explain precisely the nature of the proceeding which is now before the House so that all members of the Parliament will be aware of the procedure which has taken place. [More…]
The Bill is being rushed through in a precipitous manner which does no credit either to the nature of this debate or to the procedures adopted by the Government or, in fact, to the personal involvement in this episode by the ‘Prime Minister who apparently prefers to make no comment whatever as to the reasons he has moved the motion now before the Chair. [More…]
It may well be that the Corporation, because of its particular and sectional nature, might make decisions which would unwittingly produce damage in another industry. [More…]
I do not refute, endorse or qualify reports of this nature. [More…]
God Save the Queen’ is more in the nature of a royal anthem rather than a national song. [More…]
Consequently, the national anthem is more in the nature of a royal anthem. [More…]
Our scheme features the opportunity for a person to have a doctor of his own choice and in most circumstances the hospital of his own choice, and in all cases the form and nature of health insurance. [More…]
Firstly, it is human nature for a person to conclude: ‘Well, if the Government is compulsorily adding to my taxes in order to provide me and my family with free hospitalisation then I will use it and get my money’s worth.’ [More…]
That is human nature. [More…]
Our attitude is in marked contrast to the nature of the legislation which is subject to debate at this time. [More…]
Whereas inflation, giving rise to increases in taxable incomes, yields a more than proportionate increase in taxation revenue due to the progressive nature of the taxation scale, where a levy is involved it will yield only a proportional increase in revenue from the levy and the rate of levy will have to be increased to finance improvements in health care services. [More…]
The nature of the revenue system will inhibit the trend to improved health care. [More…]
The concept of free medicine and free care can only take away the power of the patient to determine the quality and nature of his care. [More…]
It changes the whole nature of the scheme away from a reimbursement scheme, where the patient has a responsibility for his own medical expenses for which he is then substantially reimbursed. [More…]
In the case of the private hospitals, many of which are of outstanding quality, they will have to change their whole nature by setting up standard wards. [More…]
So do not let us hear any more about the revolutionary nature of a program which is middle of the road by the standards of all but the most reactionary. [More…]
In this respect I must emphasise the evolutionary nature of the program. [More…]
We are prepared to honour those contracts despite their unsatisfactory nature. [More…]
Recognising, however, that the States have somewhat limited financial resources on which they can draw in an emergency, the Australian Government is prepared to assist in financing measures other than relief of personal hardship and distress where the States are involved in substantial expenditure of an abnormal nature. [More…]
Consultations are going on between the Queensland Government and the Australian Government as to the nature of expenditures in this case and the share which the Australian Government should accept in meeting them. [More…]
They identified the nature of the problem and also the remedy of the problem. [More…]
I will be speaking more about that later in the day, but I want to foreshadow now the Opposition’s objection to the whole of this motion moved by the Leader of the House (Mr Daly) and also to point out particularly the insidious nature of including the Hospitals and Health Services Commission Bill in this blanket guillotine. [More…]
Every benefit fund of this nature which has been built up by contributors’ funds is required by government actuaries to provide for the contingencies I have mentioned. [More…]
Precisely because of the crucial and complex nature of the health question, I have regarded it as a particular duty to explain, discuss and argue our proposals over the past 2 years, especially with and through the medical profession. [More…]
Individual institutions within these groups can also show a marked diversity in the nature of their borrowings and their lending business. [More…]
What experience does he have, particularly within our Federal system in Australia, in a senior administrative role of this nature? [More…]
Two people went to see these 25 general practitioners and described symptoms, which they said they had, of a mild depressive illness which was clearly of a psychosocial nature rather than primarily a psychiatric problem. [More…]
Finally, I would like to make one further suggestion of a parochial nature. [More…]
Fourthly, was the whole tone of his message to the management of 7HO in Hobart one of a threatening nature if it did not accede to his request? [More…]
I am unable to give the detailed figures requested, but I understand such prices as are charged by newspapers are dependent upon a number of factors such as the nature of the advertisement, the time of its insertion, and the frequency of publication. [More…]
Quite clearly, decisions of this nature will be taken by the Government and there are proper processes for this. [More…]
This crisis is so deep-rooted in its nature and far-reaching in its effects that some direct government interest in the industry is legitimate. [More…]
The non-renewable resources of Australia consist of natural materials and energy sources which have been created by nature and which cannot be replaced within the lifespan of the human species on earth. [More…]
There is no guarantee that these nuclear cemeteries will not be accident prone, or that the steel caskets will hold indefinitely, or that an earthquake or some other disturbance of nature will not set off a devastating nuclear-shower. [More…]
Because of the composition and nature of the soil in areas like North Rocks one finds that homes built in some areas have experienced problems. [More…]
This would not inhibit the sale of the property because people who would be buying this property would be buying it basically as bare land for an extension of their farming operations - most likely of a grazing nature. [More…]
Not only honourable members but also employees and employers in Australia, including the Government of the day which is the largest employer in this country, must be aware - and I think that everybody would agree that this is necessary - that in making decisions of this nature an eye must be kept on considerations of productivity which must be involved because variations in Public Service conditions flow through to the whole work force in our community, once a decision to change those conditions is taken. [More…]
If the year has revealed clearly the nature and purposes of the Government, it also has revealed - even more nakedly and more unmistakably - the nature and purposes of the Opposition. [More…]
I believe we have reached a more sane and equitable balance with the countries of importance to us in the world than at any time in the past, but it is of the nature of our task that it continues with its importance undiminished. [More…]
1) 1973-74, where do the salaries and payments in the nature of salary of the employees of the Organisation appear in the Budget papers. [More…]
The salaries and payments in the nature of salary of the employees of the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation are contained in the appropriation for the Organisation - Division 450 of Appropriation Bill (No. [More…]
What was the nature of the complaint which apparently caused the Attorney-General to abolish the Branch. [More…]
As I stated in the Senate on 23 October the Council for Aboriginal Affairs has not had any meetings of a formal nature which involved the keeping of minutes since March 1973. [More…]
I am informed that much of its work since its inception in 1967 has been of an informal nature, either by way of meetings or, when these were not possible, by correspondence. [More…]
When he advised the Prime Minister as Chairman of the Council, he also informed the then Minister of the nature of that advice. [More…]
If so, is it the usual practice for tenders to be called for Government work of this nature. [More…]
Each Service may delegate to persons on terms its powers of approving applications for assistance or claims made without prior application and of requests for expenses of an unusual or unduly expensive nature in a matter. [More…]
to inquire into the nature and extent of supplies and shortages of text and reference books required by primary, secondary and tertiary students; and (if) to recommend means of improving the suplies and overcoming the shortages. [More…]
The nature of the oil and its origin, and the relative importance of the various ingredients must be indicated on the product label. [More…]
The Board has advised that cases are considered on their individual merits in the light of all the relevant circumstances, including the nature of the visit and the extent of earlier absences of the officer from Australia. [More…]
The Commissioner of Taxation has advised me that under a general provision of the income tax law, deductions are allowed for outgoings to the extent to which they are incurred in gaining or producing a taxpayer’s assessable income or in carrying on a business for that purpose, provided that the expenditure is not of a capital, private or domestic nature. [More…]
1047 in which he indicated that the Bureau of Transport Economics had commenced a study of the transport needs of disadvantaged sections of the community, what is the exact nature of the study that is being undertaken, and what are the exact sections of the community included in the study. [More…]
Dr Cameron’s quiet, gentle, unassuming nature belied the vitality and resourcefulness which he brought to ‘bear as a national figure in the Australian Parliament where he served as Minister for Health from January 1956 to December 1961. [More…]
His modest nature left it for others to raise his kindly, generous service to his home town, Ipswich, as a general practitioner, especially during the depression when circumstances were so difficult for so many. [More…]
It let nature take its course. [More…]
We recognise the compelling nature of the problems of local government, but emphasise that financial arrangements must serve and strengthen the Constitution, not undermine it Given the existence of existing State government machinery and expertise, it is a more rational use of resources to increase the flow of Commonwealth funds through those existing, or enlarged, channels. [More…]
We call for a meeting to be held with State Premiers to identify the scope and nature of local government requirements and shortfalls. [More…]
There is no reason to seek a constitutional amendment of this nature. [More…]
If that is so, the nature of that change should be made clear to the people in the question that is put to them on the ballot paper. [More…]
It goes against human nature for people having power to want to give it up. [More…]
Let me say, secondly, that I am a little puzzled about the nature of the mistake because you, Mr Speaker, in the chair, said that you were not worried about the bells. [More…]
Even though we suspend Standing Orders - I am going to vote for that suspension in a moment - it may be that the referendum itself would be illegal and open to challenge in the High Court of Australia because of the specific nature of Standing Order 263 which already has had its effect. [More…]
If he wants to ask any questions of that nature, he must put them on the notice paper. [More…]
Consistent with the arrangements adopted at the tertiary level, adult education courses have not been included, as they are mainly of a hobby or general interest nature. [More…]
Mr Speaker, as you would be very well aware, it remains excessively difficult to establish the nature of this Government’s forward program. [More…]
It is important in the functioning of this House that those who are listening on the radio and those who perhaps are not aware of the nature of parliamentary responsibility recognise that the House of Representatives has committees and that the 2 houses of parliament have joint committees. [More…]
This would be a much better place for discussion and everything of that nature if those members opposite who desire to speak spoke exclusively on the subjects in which there is interest and of which they have knowledge. [More…]
These statements demonstate if they do anything, a complete misunderstanding of the nature of Australia’s inflationary problems. [More…]
I wanted to explain to them that what had changed was not the degree of Australian involvement in the region but the nature and direction of that involvement. [More…]
This again proves the democratic nature of sport. [More…]
The bulk of tourist activities in Australia are of domestic nature - Australians travelling to discover parts of their own country. [More…]
The first such acquisition will be announced shortly, and let me add here that recent press reports speculating on its nature and whereabouts were pretty wide of the mark. [More…]
Those sections dealt with water and fodder conservation and other matters of that nature. [More…]
I would suspect, in the absence of a proper profile in depth survey of the nature of unemployment benefit recipients, that these, are the people who have become the casualties of structural unemployment in our society. [More…]
a matter of a personal nature arising inside or outside the Parliament; and [More…]
The real tragedy is also to be found in the appalling lack of understanding by the Australian Labor Party of the fundamental nature of rural industry - its fluctuating, variable and unpredictable character. [More…]
The crunch - and it will be a vicious crunch - will come when primary industry enters a downtrend, the kind of trend it always experiences because of its very nature. [More…]
The Treasurer (Mr Crean) has already quoted figures to show the completely unselective nature, the inequality and the inequity of a bounty of this sort. [More…]
The unselective nature and the basic inequality of this has to be attended to. [More…]
But the problem with the Government’s attitude to rural industry is that it is based on false assumptions because the Government is ignorant of the nature of rural industry. [More…]
But the point in this debate is that this action, coming on top of the other actions of an antirural nature by this Government, is a watershed which has meant that no longer will people in Australia place any trust in or give any credence to anything this Government does. [More…]
If he wants to ask any questions of that nature, he must put them on the notice paper. [More…]
The purpose of this Bill is to seek the appropriation of sums totalling $168,575,000 for salaries and payments in the nature of salary, including the appropriation to specific divisions of a block sum of $32.5m appropriated in Appropriation Act (No. [More…]
Honourable members will be aware that it is normal practice to seek appropriations for salaries and payments in the nature of salaries in Appropriation Bill (No. [More…]
3m is for pay and allowances payable to members of the defence force and $127.2m for salary and payments in the nature of salary for civilian employees of the Australian Government. [More…]
It also includes some $58.7m required to meet salaries and payments in the nature of salary for civilian employees as a result of awards and determinations made since Appropriation Bill (No. [More…]
The remaining amount of $36m covers other increased requirements for salaries and payments in the nature of salary arising from increases in staffs and additional overtime. [More…]
Finally, I emphasise that this Bill seeks appropriation of additional funds for salaries and payments in the nature of salary only. [More…]
As is invariably the case, additional appropriations will also have to be sought for administrative expenses, other services, payments to or for the states and items of a capital nature. [More…]
The newly emerging situation in our region involves fundamental changes in the nature and purposes of the Australian defence force. [More…]
Couple these crimes against nature with the continued shortage of amenities that affect the everyday lives of our citizens - sewerage, schools, hospitals, recreation facilities, roads and highways and one becomes aware of the ghastly lack of planning that has accrued since our society developed into primarily an urban society. [More…]
Investment of this nature is not physically evident for a long time, as anyone who has studied the planning of Canberra by the National Capital Development Commission will know, but history will pay tribute to the foresight of the Minister for Urban and Regional Development (Mr Uren) and his Department. [More…]
I remind the House again that under the Liberal-Country Party Government health care facilities of this nature received absolutely nothing. [More…]
I urge it to follow a course of conciliation and moderation, as it is only through policies of this nature that this country will avoid the tragic economic and social effects of a divided community. [More…]
I might say that the husband of the lady who wrote to me about this matter is not in good health and the family is concerned that the son should be allowed to come to Australia before anything of a fatal nature happens to the father. [More…]
There should not have been such developments of this nature and this extent on those areas. [More…]
The nature of these mental health services depends upon projects proposed by the States. [More…]
A world international monetary fund of this nature must look at those 2 points - the food situation which will obviously develop if the weather pattern does not change, and the balance of payments of these countries. [More…]
In fact, one might say that it is political immorality; and there seems to be justification for a charge of this nature when one considers how diligently the Victorian Liberal Government has worked to render ineffective any Australian Government legislation which would have been of benefit to the Victorian people. [More…]
Any speculation of the nature which we heard earlier is merely designed to try to mislead people and is mischievous. [More…]
As the United Nations Special Committee of Twenty-four is soon to visit the Cocos Islands - the nature of that committee’s work is well known - what advice will be given to it by Australia about independence or not? [More…]
I will not embark upon the habit of commenting on speculative reports of this nature. [More…]
Secondly, on ‘behalf of the Liberal Party since we have been in Opposition and following the viewpoints that I expressed when previously I was Minister for External Territories, I said that not only did we have a duty to ensure the smooth and orderly transition through self-government to independence in Papua New Guinea, but also we had a basic duty to ensure that both Papua New Guinea and Australia fully understood the nature of the relationship in a post-independence situation; that it would not be good enough to arrive at a date for independence and pass through it and then start discussions on the nature of the relationship between the then independent country of Papua New Guinea and Australia. [More…]
As this is one of the last opportunities I will have in this Parliament to put forward views of this nature, it is my duty to signal them that he has not executed his duty in this regard. [More…]
He ignored the constitutional right of the Government of Queensland and he seemed to pay little heed to the nature of the requests made by the politicians in Papua New Guinea. [More…]
It can be resolved only by negotiation and I wish the Government would pull its head out of the sand and recognise what it will have to face after 1 December if it does not discuss these 2 specific areas plus others in the nature of post-independence relations. [More…]
I now turn to the specific amendments of the Wool Industry Act 1972-1973, which are required in terms of the Government’s decision, and to a number of amendments of a machinery nature which it is convenient to make at this time. [More…]
That is, the people, the contries and the governments of South-East Asia- that what had changed was not the degree of Australian involvement in the region but the nature and direction of that involvement. [More…]
The fourth objective continued as follows: To explain that what has changed is not the degree of Australian interest or involvement but rather the nature of that interest and involvement. [More…]
The degree to which this Government has failed to maintain past obligations prejudices that opportunity, lt is well that the Government now thinks of extending the program in the broader sense that we initiated but it is unfortunate that a trip of this nature should have been necessary so that the Prime Minister could re-establish something of that close fraternal relationship that previously existed. [More…]
It has been necessary to develop technical training which by its very nature has to be concentrated in the capital city of Sydney. [More…]
As we become more sensitive to the creative nature of men - and women - we can expect more support for these particular areas of instruction in the technical colleges. [More…]
No distinction was made between full time, part time or correspondence courses of a vocationaltechnical nature, with one exception. [More…]
Under this scheme miners are forced to retire at 62 years of age and the benefits merely save the Commonwealth paying social service benefits to people forced to retire, because of the heavy nature of the work. [More…]
1 say to honourable members that if events of this nature were to develop in Papua New Guinea it would not be the people in London but it would be the people here in Canberra who would have to make decisions in relation to Papua New Guinea similar to those that were made by the honourable and gallant gentlemen in the House of Commons about Malaysia. [More…]
It is as well to remind the House and the people of the nature of this matter introduced by the honourable member for Eden-Monaro (Mr Whan). [More…]
As on that occasion, the total amount distributed will include an addi-‘ tional amount in the nature of further surplus that has accrued in the Fund since 1 July 1972 in respect of the surplus of $70,015,000. [More…]
By the nature of their volunteering, they possess a citizenship of the highest ideal. [More…]
The appropriation Bill is especially directed at provisions for salaries and payments in the nature of salaries. [More…]
We were informed that .the experiment had not been very successful, owing to the inexperience of the staff who were unfamiliar with the complicated nature of the Master Provisioning Document and the source documents, and with stores accounting procedures. [More…]
The vital nature of the Senate election is, of course, apparent. [More…]
Like the honourable member for Lyne, I too have had many cases of a similar nature brought to my attention. [More…]
I think it is true to say that in the last couple of years we have seen, or have begun to see, the results of research projects which are inevitably long term in nature, and promotion activities which although perhaps not so long term in nature inevitably cannot show an immediate return. [More…]
When speaking of the research I am thinking of such research as that which went into machine washable garments, the development of non-fade pastel dyes incorporating drip-dry characteristics in woollen garments and work of that nature, much of which I am pleased to say and as I am sure you will acknowledge, Mr Deputy Speaker, has been done in the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation’s wool-textile laboratories at Belmont in Geelong. [More…]
The other amendments in the Bill deal largely with machinery measures which stem from the changing nature of the Corporation since its setting up by the Liberal-Country Party Government in 1972. [More…]
They will probably give a quick hip fire response of an even more generous nature than we are proposing when they are pressed as to what their program really is on pensions. [More…]
I would, however, be pleased lo refer specific proposals of this nature to the Hospitals and Health Services Commission. [More…]
This gentleman is quoted as saying that the fact that the advertisements had been placed through the Department of the Media’s Government Advertising Advisory Council indicate the campaign’s non-political nature. [More…]
However, in relation to the social sciences, medical sciences and defence science, there were divergences of view as to what the nature of the council’s role should be. [More…]
Is this House, as a debating chamber, any longer competent to perform that function, given the technical nature of so much of what we have to handle, as effectively as it was conceived of being able to discharge it in the earlier history of the parliamentary system of government? [More…]
If this Parliament is to delegate serious work to a Committee which can examine all the evidence on the matter and bring down a useful and reliable report, we must ensure in the future that the Prime Minister, the Minister for the Navy and every other parliamentarian come to understand the independent nature of the work to be undertaken. [More…]
As I hope to go on to show it will be a vital part of the work of the Committee to arrive at a decision on optimum siting of the General Post Office administrative block first, that is to say, in advance of its decision as to the nature of the administrative block itself. [More…]
There is no unalterable commitment, as far as I am yet aware, as to the site or the nature or the height or the capacity of the proposed GPO administrative block. [More…]
Probably the most insistent criticism has been that the nature of the plan, with the GPO building shutting off the northern end of Forrest Place, will result in the destruction of what otherwise would be a magnificent vista to the north. [More…]
I believe that the Committee will preside over an inquiry which will be extremely democratic in nature - in fact, unprecedented in that regard. [More…]
Two are of a minor nature and one is of a more important nature. [More…]
Due to the very nature of the paper I shall start from the bottom. [More…]
If it does not and if the Bill is not passed, the stop go nature of the building industry which prevailed in the 23 years of Liberal-Country Party Administration will continue. [More…]
The fascination of this country, as of many other countries in the developed world, with the favourable comparison of, for example, Australia’s performance as a donor country has tended to obscure the real nature of development and its relevance to Australia’s foreign policy, security and external economic interests. [More…]
Nothing could be further from the truth in this case or more unfair to this Government on its record so far in cases where reports, often of a highly controversial nature, have been submitted to it. [More…]
The other problem which I can see emerging from our aid programs and which I would hope that .the Agency might turn to is that over the years, because of the nature of our Commonwealth involvement originally and then because of the constitution of a system which seems to have been successful, we have pursued a very extensive Colombo Plan aid educational program which has brought a great deal of opportunity to people who might otherwise have been denied it. [More…]
Part of the problem of the Colombo Plan is that the nature of Australian training does not always suit the employment opportunities in the country of origin of the people receiving the training. [More…]
But Australia’s long term interests surely must be a significant part of any decision that is ultimately taken as to the direction, nature, quantum and character of aid provided. [More…]
My concern is that the easy visa system is capable of abuse in the nature of the questions asked and the manner by which people are permitted to come into Australia. [More…]
There are several important new provisions but there is also a relatively large number of minor amendments to the original Bill that are of a technical nature. [More…]
Yet .it is in the nature of man, fortunately, to try to overcome problems and to find a new and better way. [More…]
There is no doubt that when the Minister was referring to the nature in which I addressed this House last night he was condemning me for relying in part on addresses made by the President of the World Bank, Mr Robert McNamara. [More…]
The complexities of drafting seem to require the peculiar skill of a lawyer and of course the very nature of drafting is of itself a field somewhat removed from the practice of law before the courts or in a solicitor’s or barrister’s office. [More…]
It does seem that because of the nature of drafting, it may not be necessary for the Institute to operate only with full-time courses. [More…]
It is necessary that the terms, conditions and nature of employment for parliamentary counsel be attractive and that their job be given the status that is necessary to ensure satisfaction in employment. [More…]
Because of this industry’s labour intensive nature, its expansion implies increased job opportunities for Australians. [More…]
Many tourist proposals involve a substantial risk element and are often conducted by relatively small operators which by their very nature are not considered good credit risks. [More…]
The pace and nature of social change are such that the absence of proper planning on a national basis must presuppose ad hocism rampant. [More…]
All honourable members will know the erratic nature of returns to areas of primary production. [More…]
The consultants argued that special consideration for investment in agriculture is the inescapability of its long term nature rendering it impossible to make significant production changes in the short term. [More…]
A meeting to establish the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers was held on 21 January 1974. [More…]
I have received many representations from individuals and organisations suggesting that areas of the States referred to be reserved for national park or nature reserve purposes. [More…]
The Australian Government is however assisting in the realisation of some proposals by providing $500,000 this financial year for acquisition of land in the States for nature conservation purposes. [More…]
During those visits our Ambassador had discussions with Government Ministers and officials to determine the nature of the most appropriate assistance that Australia could offer. [More…]
Of course the very nature of their fishing is somewhat primitive by contrast with the more sophisticated means of modern trawlers. [More…]
The general nature of the fishing industry and the fact that the prawns are very readily salable have meant that the industry in the Gulf of Carpentaria has attracted a good deal of investment. [More…]
While there is the prospect of a good prawn year ahead as a result of a wet season, the nature of the industry does create difficulties in terms of determining how we are to ensure best the balance of utilisation of these resources. [More…]
In March 1972 the then Treasurer, now the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Snedden), shortly to be the Prime Minister of this country, in tabling the reports of the ninth quinquennial investigation outlined the nature of the Treasury investigation and invited interested parties to put forward recommendations. [More…]
I think that we will always have some problems with superannuation funds of this nature because, as has been mentioned earlier today, there are the problems of variations in our currency and our inflationary rates which we are finding very high at the moment, and of the opportunity for people making contributions to such a fund over a number of years to enjoy the same standard of living, or near enough to the same standard of living, on their retirement that they have been used to while being employed. [More…]
An illustration of that neglect is that the enormous surplus produced by this scheme, is in fact money which was owed to Commonwealth public servants and which was never rightfully returned to them because the Government of the day - the Liberal-Country Party Government - was not interested enough to introduce a Bill of this nature to implement a distribution after the last quinquennial investigation report of 1967, which I have here in my hand. [More…]
Everybody knows that inflation causes a distortion in the nature of the growth of Australian industry. [More…]
The people of Australia did not give a mandate to this Government to change the whole nature of the Australian democracy. [More…]
If the Minister for Secondary Industry and his gaggle of colleagues who represent the so-called Cabinet of this country are prepared to make loose allegations as to the success of their policies so far, let them face the music, let them go to a general election so that the people of this country will have an opportunity to record their vote, and to reject the discredited nature of the present administration. [More…]
The extent and nature of these rapidly worsening national problems call for positive Government action. [More…]
I think that my Clerks are as conversant with matters of this nature as any member of the House - in fact more - and I am taking the advice of my Clerks in this matter. [More…]
I think that this debate has been a very placid but constructive one for a debate of this nature. [More…]
It is of some interest - I should not think it constitutes anything in the nature of contempt or breach of privilege - to note that the Canberra afternoon newspaper has today as its headline: ‘The Members for The A.C.T. [More…]
Regrettably, to the many people in Australia who now this week and towards the end of last week became increasingly aware of the nature of Government it will be something of a surprise to learn that major pieces of legislation such as the Petroleum and Minerals Authority Bill 1973, the Australian Industry Development Corporation Bill 1973 and the National Investment Fund Bill 1973 can be introduced into this Parliament after the upper House has seen fit to reject them, not for serious consideration and debate m this chamber but for an accele rated debate so that the measures can be pushed forward into the other chamber and can then be considered again. [More…]
The whole nature of the debate last Thursday on the Health Bills was surely cast in the mould of a Government which was well and truly afraid of the implications of going to the people. [More…]

I hope this matter will receive serious consideration by whatever Government is on the Treasury bench in the ensuing months and that when the next Budget is being prepared there will be an adequate allocation for flood mitigation funds to be spent in the respective States where schemes of an effective nature can be put forward by State governments. [More…]
It is urgently examining ways in which protection may be increased against future occurrences of a similar nature. [More…]

There should be a meeting of the State Premiers with the Commonwealth Government to identify the scope and nature of local government’s requirements and shortfalls. [More…]
On the other hand, to call for a prices and wages freeze at the time when a case is before the Arbitration Commission in respect of wages indicates to me the class nature of the Opposition parties opposite. [More…]
Knowing the nature of the projects that normally come to it for examination the Committee usually goes down to the end of the pipeline and listens for the things that are supposed to gush out. [More…]

Of course another aspect was the changing nature of the seat of Adelaide at that time. [More…]
I am very pleased that right at the start of proceedings you are pleased that I am here, and the good thing about being here, is that Lucas and Tait know that it’s my custom to come to occasions like this to say what I feel, and the first thing I want to say is that my visit is in the nature of a good neighbourly one, in that this building happens to be the accommodation for the headquarters, the Sydney headquarters, for the Department of Housing and Construction. [More…]
The enquiries that 1 have made preliminary to my visit here today have been of an endorsing nature from people in the associated industries and professions. [More…]
I have often felt that developers are in the same nature as Politicians, in the sense that we are all heaped together, and the good and bad are designated in the public mind as being of very similar substance and calibre. [More…]
I refer you to the nature of that suspension. [More…]
I do not believe, Sir, that you would have made that ruling if you had read with care the nature of the motion which the House has just passed. [More…]

Now is not the time to go into an explanation of the undemocraic nature of first past the post voting and Labor’s motives for bringing it forward. [More…]
However I repeat, we will not have a bar of this so-called Hayden or Labor health scheme because once it is implemented it will change the whole nature of medical care in Australia and will, in fact, produce an egg which a future government will find impossible to unscramble. [More…]
The first reason is that it is human nature for a person to conclude: ‘Well, if the Government is adding to my taxes to provide me and my family with free hospitalisation I may as well use it and get my money’s worth.’ [More…]
Human nature being what it is, as soon as the rights of a professional man to practise in a free competitive society is taken away and he is forced to work in a government machine, creative achievements, ingenious new techniques, and the exploration of the perplexing problems of mankind will not be forthcoming and we all will be reduced to the level of mediocrity - [More…]
Again, human nature impels us to use things if they are free, whether we need them or not. [More…]

The remaining provisions in the Bill now before the House are consequential amendments of an administrative, nature which flow from the principal provisions to which I have already referred. [More…]
Individual institutions within these groups can also show a marked diversity in the nature of their borrowings and their lending business. [More…]
Many of the amendments were of a drafting nature only - some of them to meet doubts that had been expressed whether or not the doubts were justified. [More…]
Comments that have been made on this provision have tended to overlook the very limited nature of the power. [More…]
This Convention covers conduct that is liable to mislead the public as to the nature, the manufacturing process, the characteristics, the suitability for their purpose or the quantity of goods. [More…]
I realise that these are basic and perennial questions, but I believe we have to answer them now in this Parliament because of the nature of the Government’s social welfare program. [More…]
There are targe areas of jurisdiction where there are undoubtedly many matters of a specialised nature falling within federal jurisdiction. [More…]
It is proposed that the new Court would take over the original jurisdiction now exercised by the High Court under laws made by the Parliament, except for some few cases where, in the nature of the jurisdiction, it seems appropriate for the High Court to continue to exercise it. [More…]
This provision is made having regard to the special nature of that jurisdiction, and to the fact that the Court would be, as already described, constituted in the same way as the Industrial Court for the exercise of that jurisdiction. [More…]
Although the defects are largely of a formal or technical nature, they do give rise to problems in the preparation of the reprint and it is desirable that they be corrected as soon as possible. [More…]

I think it would be useful for the House to know the nature of unemployment in the economy at the moment. [More…]

The committee must have at its disposal full information, particularly in relation to staffing, cost and the time occupied by committees in the work that they performed in the last 18 months because there has been a proliferation of committees of a nature which has created some useful results, but in some other respects perhaps a degree of repetition. [More…]
In view of the inherent importance of recent exchange rate adjustments to the actual execution of this Bill, it is appropriate during this debate to comment briefly on the unsatisfactory nature of the Government’s exchange rate policy and to put forward the positive initiatives which have been developed by the Opposition parties. [More…]
Basically, the new structure was framed on the broad basis that allowances should be taxable with the exception of those allowances in the nature of reimbursements for outofpocket expenses. [More…]
The Opposition, of course, supports this amendment which is really of a purely technical nature as it seeks to overcome any difficulty which may prevent this concession from operating in the way in which it was intended to operate - that is, that it should apply to all individuals. [More…]
They do this kind of thing because this is of the nature of what is known as Communist justice. [More…]
I have always been interested in legislation of this nature. [More…]
The whole nature of changes to legislation within this Bill must be in accordance with loyalty to the Crown and to the Commonwealth and any changes which do not embrace- [More…]
I think it must become a feature of government to table such studies with every project of this nature, whether or not it is being carried out by the NCDC Let us face it; the National Capital Development Commission should not have any prior right to be exempt from the scrutiny of the Department of the Environment and Conservation. [More…]
I know that in 1967 investigations of an advanced nature were well and truly under way. [More…]
I would like to mention something about the nature of the construction, otherwise it will probably not find its way into Hansard. [More…]
Has the Government ever given an undertaking that blueprints of this nature were required or would be provided? [More…]
Therefore he achieves nothing by quoting it, because what it demonstrates is that the interest policy of the Labor Party advanced home mortgage repayments of the home buyer by such an amount that the tax rebate of $250 as a result of this program does not compensate the home owner for the increased cost of higher interest rates, and that is the nature of the policy which this gentleman has supervised. [More…]
These roads are those whose main function is to provide an avenue of communication between those roads which were previously classified as rural arterial, between important centres, and those that are of an arterial nature within 5 towns. [More…]

[More…]
The local nature of these issues underlines the Liberal and Country Parlies’ conviction that decisions affecting local land use patterns must be taken by State or Local Government. [More…]

Although the Leader of the Opposition believes that the buildings in the Glebe area ought to be demolished and replaced with medium density development - no doubt what he is contending is of a desirable nature - I want the House to know what these competent consultants said about the Glebe area from an architectural standpoint. [More…]
In fact, we have been told by some of our consultants that if this development were left to private enterprise nobody in this country would have the capacity to acquire the whole area, to enable the whole area to be pulled down if that were wanted and redevelopment to be planned in an overall way in order to achieve a sensible relationship of one building to another, thereby getting a proper sense of perspective in relation to landscaping, public amenities and things of that nature. [More…]

I now wish to address some remarks to the more important provisions of the Bill and to indicate the nature and purpose of the more important amendments which the Opposition proposes to move. [More…]
I have stated that we will not oppose them in principle and I have indicated the nature of the proposed amendments. [More…]

[More…]
There is no need for a multiplicity of judges receiving salaries of the nature of those we have heard about here tonight. [More…]
The very nature of the projects which could be involved is such as would have to involve huge sums of money or involve investment proposals where the social returns to the community were thought by the Government or the Parliament to exceed the return to the individual investor. [More…]

What problems led to the tentative nature of the statement by the Treasurer that expenditure might be larger? [More…]
The reason for the tentative nature of the Treasurer’s statement about the $34. [More…]

This Government has modified the nature of the Bill in response to pressures perhaps from another place. [More…]
Those instruments already exist and the course of our development will be decided not so much by this Bill or that Bill but by the nature of the government in power and the intentions of the government in power. [More…]
I am afraid that the statistics do not bear out his view as to the very large nature of the Australian savings program. [More…]
There will be projects which may be of a co-operative nature and projects in country areas - I particularly emphasise, that - where if ordinary commercial principles applied the AIDC Board might say: ‘This is not a project that we ought to go into’. [More…]
Nobody complains that these services are not required but costs like those have to be met and it is for that reason, amongst others, that charges of this nature have to be imposed from time to time in order not only to provide the service but also to enable money to be available for it from the revenue that is received. [More…]
The proposed increases are an endeavour to make up this leeway and to make available money for social welfare schemes, pensions and other things of that nature. [More…]
This would leave more money to the Government for education, health and matters of that nature. [More…]
Surely no one can quibble about the increases in those charges because the service is used particularly in the business field and possibly in the residential area for the purpose of attracting customers and things of that nature. [More…]
I believe that these comments highlight the very nature of the problem with which we must deal. [More…]
What are we going to have when the business houses pass on to the people they have to deal with a charge of this nature? [More…]
That change, with so many young mothers working, with equal wages for women and things of that nature, is bringing quite a few social needs. [More…]
That Interim Report in its introduction comments that although the national superannuation scheme covered contingencies such as voluntary, early or deferred retirement, invalidity, widowed survivor, mortality grant for surviving spouse, unemployment and sickness, they, the members of the inquiry, concentrated initially on the nature of a suitable scheme for ensuring adequate income for the aged. [More…]
Consider the situation of a young person with a wife and several children, who has to pay off a house and pay for furniture, a car - an essential item for most people these days, just by the nature of labour requirements - education, health and a multitude of obligations which we all accept, and gladly accept, in our desire to give our families an opportunity. [More…]
I take this opportunity to compliment the Minister for taking the trouble to come into this chamber this evening - to set the record straight and once and for all, I hope, to show to the honourable member for Griffith (Mr Donald Cameron) just how dishonourable an honourable member can become, particularly when he uses the privileges extended to him as a member of this Parliament to enable him to be free from being called to account as he would be if he were to make statements of a similar nature outside this Parliament. [More…]
Migration policies affect the life style, the composition and the very nature of the nation’s people. [More…]
Migrants know that the inter-related nature of their problems can best be dealt with by a co-ordinated administration. [More…]
The fact that a motion of this nature is moved in this place by the Government does not in any way pre-suppose that the motion is going to be a fait accompli. [More…]
During the past 26 years there have been substantial changes in the nature of the Northern Territory Legislative Council. [More…]
I cannot see in this legislation any indication of the formation of electoral divisions in the Northern Territory or the nature of those divisions, and we must bear in mind that the election for the fully elected Northern Territory Legislative Assembly must be held before 24 October 1974. [More…]
The carrying out of a mandate should be guaranteed by the Constitution; thi; development of communities capable of becoming viable political entities should also bc guaranteed; the Constitution should spell out the nature and extent of the protection which a protected territory should be bound to receive and the identity of the national capital as such should be preserved. [More…]

Looking at the very limited nature of these grants and the task that has to be done in each of the States, it must be realised that this is only the start of a long program. [More…]
If we look at what has occurred in the last 18 months we will find that the Labor Party is not doing anything of an effective nature about this problem. [More…]
The diverse nature of the dairy industry is reflected in the fact that an economic unit at Grafton, Kempsey or Lismore may not be the same as an economic unit at, say, Rochester or an economic unit somewhere in Queensland. [More…]
These concentrated locations of marginal dairy farms have a downgrade drag effect on land values although the value of land nearby involved in other forms of production and similar in nature to the marginal dairy land may be selling at a higher rate. [More…]
The Senate’s example is proof that there is no need yet to despair completely of human nature- [More…]
He will then be doled out a few discretionary dollars which he can spend on going to the football or something of that nature. [More…]
This simply means that if people are given things for nothing without putting some form of patient moiety, it is human nature to act as though they need them and to use them. [More…]
I believe that these Bills have to be considered in the context of the accelerating inflation in this country at the present time, particularly because a health care system that is labour intensive by nature has an accelerated inflation rate of twice to three times the ordinary inflation rate in the community generally. [More…]
But the honourable member for Chisholm (Mr Staley), who participates in debates of this nature occasionally, always tries to persuade us that what he is doing is being done for the highest motives, that there is only one way of looking at things and that that is more or less the way in which the diety would wish it to be done. [More…]
The Government is of the opinion that an event of this nature would be of immense public interest and that it is important that as complete a record as possible should be preserved for the nation’s archives. [More…]
I ask the Minister now to realise the nature of the things that he has been saying. [More…]
It is not the Government’s practice to disclose details of discussions of a confidential nature with other governments. [More…]

That, in any debate or proceeding of the House or its committees or transactions or communications which a Member may have with other Members or with Ministers or servants of the Crown, he should disclose any relevant pecuniary interest or benefit of whatever nature, whether direct or indirect, that he may have had, may have or may be expecting to have; [More…]
That in any debate or proceeding of the House or its Committees or transactions or communications which a member may have with other members or with Ministers or servants of the Crown, he shall disclose any relevant pecuniary interest or benefit of whatever nature, whether direct or indirect, that he may have had, may have or may be expecting to have. [More…]
The Minister sought to have a number of additional provisions inserted which would make it mandatory to refer the principal terms of an agreement to the members of an organisation and to describe the nature of the consultation with financial members of the organisation affected by the agreement. [More…]
In many ways it would be more sensible for the ‘future of the manufacturing sector of the dairy industry in Australia to allow them to obtain loan funds so that they can switch to larger bulk milk vats of a refrigerated nature, than it would to allow farmers in other areas to make the change because this area is viable and has all that is required to continue its viability. [More…]
But if, the moment he receives this additional power from this legislation, he proceeds to act in an arbitrary manner, to penalise or attempt to penalise these organisations and, through them, the majority of the people in New South Wales, then he must be judged on this other basis of being out to kill anything of a private nature in our health system. [More…]
In the second reading speech the Minister said that comparisons of the nature I have made are misinformed and that the only really satisfactory comparison is the overall percentage of rural versus urban. [More…]
Although Sir Garfield Barwick set forth the nature of the Court and its jurisdiction which he favoured it fell to the lot of my immediate predecessor as Attorney-General, Mr B. Snedden, Q.C, to formulate concrete proposals. [More…]
It is not surprising that Australia’s capitalist system has faltered because capitalism by its nature is ill-fitted to respond to the demands of a just and equitable society. [More…]
It is clear that, no matter how one tries to assist honourable members, there are those who, like the honourable member for Griffith, by nature are ungrateful and by breeding spiteful and unappreciative. [More…]
Cancer organisations have had to concentrate on research and development activities of a limited nature and on forming nationally important policies - for example on the question of cigarette smoking - and they have not been able to adequately fund a number of areas which are of critical importance in the control of cancer. [More…]
I appeal to the Government to make funds of a substantial nature available to help in this field. [More…]
During the last Parliament he had justifiable concern in relation to his future as a member because of the nature of his electorate. [More…]
This meant that because of the nature of his electorate the honourable member would probably never be entitled to a pension. [More…]
I am sorry that the Minister for Urban and Regional Development (Mr Uren) has left the chamber because one can understand what I have just said from the very nature of the remarks that he made to me a little earlier and of the remarks that he has made in other places, quite publicly when he has referred to the North Western Distributor. [More…]
What was the nature of each visit. [More…]
Members of the Senate and members of the House of Representatives, before proceeding to the business of the Joint Sitting, I feel reference should be made to the historic nature of this Joint Sitting. [More…]

It is well and fitting and appropriate that on an historic occasion such as this, when the debate will be recorded in perpetuity, that the fallacious nature of the Labor Party’s administration and argument is recorded, particularly the way in which the honourable member for Dawson (Dr Patterson), who is the current Minister for the Northern Territory, vilified and attacked the member for Northern Territory (Mr Calder). [More…]
He did not mean to bring it up to date by any referendum proposal but by legislation of a surreptitious nature as is brought forward on this occasion- the third occasion before the Parliament of Australia. [More…]
No wonder the Opposition is not prepared to go along with legislation of this nature. [More…]
The other preliminary observation I make is that I wonder whether when those in the future come to read of this occasion- I forbear from using that adjective which seems to jar upon so many people- they will have a towering impression of the high sense of relevance that grips the Australian Parliament in dealing with a Bill of this nature, to add 4 new senators to the Australian Parliament, at a time when the economy is tottering and when disaffection is present. [More…]
If that is the best he can put up in this Parliament in a debate of this nature, I would say that he has a very shaky hold on that seat of Dawson. [More…]
On the contrary I believe that the right course for this Government and this Parliament to follow is to take this matter to the Constitutional Conventions between the Commonwealth, the States and local government, to invite Territorial representatives to those conventions, and to have protracted discussion on the future nature and structure of the Territories, their movement into full statehood and their representation in this Parliament. [More…]
Because of the inherent strengths and weaknesses of human nature, as soon as the rights and incentives of the professional man to practise in a free, competitive society are taken away and he is forced to work in a government machine, creative achievements, ingenious new techniques, break-throughs in knowledge and further explorations of the perplexing problems of mankind cease and we are all reduced to a level of mediocrity. [More…]
Human nature being what it is, why would not people who have a tax imposed on them say to themselves: ‘Well, I am being taxed for this free public ward accommodation. [More…]
That is human nature. [More…]
That is human nature. [More…]
The danger of the scheme is surely the uncosted nature of it. [More…]
The nature of the foundations laid in the formative years of the mineral revival would have effects on Australian welfare lasting for decades or (as it turned out) for generations. [More…]

I am very surprised that they do not really understand the true nature of the multi-national companies. [More…]
Because of the lengthy nature of that document I will quote only small sections of it. [More…]
I must remark that most of the authority for the establishment of a Petroleum and Minerals Authority seems to have taken the nature of abuse. [More…]
f) conspires with others to contravene such a provision, is, if the Court so orders, liable to pay to Australia such pecuniary penalty (not exceeding $50,000 in the case of a person not being a body corporate, or $250,000 in the case of a body corporate, in respect of each act or omission by the person to which this section applies) as the Court determines to be appropriate having regard to all relevant matters including the nature and extent of the act or omission and of any loss or damage suffered as a result of the act or omission, the circumstances in which the act or omission took place and whether the person has previously been found by the Superior Court of Australia or the Australian Industrial Court in proceedings under this Part to have engaged in any similar conduct. [More…]
A change is made in clause 76 to emphasise a stricter standard of proof, appropriate to the nature of the proceedings, and the penalty provided will operate in proceedings for pecuniary penalties. [More…]
The remaining amendments are mainly of a technical or drafting nature. [More…]
We believe that State governments and local authorities are in a far better position to decide whether a freeway should go through a certain area and what should be the nature of the freeway. [More…]
The honourable member knew from the news services that there might be industrial trouble, that matters might go wrong, and things of that nature. [More…]
What is the nature of the training they are given. [More…]
Unlike the traditional concept of a post-secondary or graduate institution providing training of an educational and professional nature towards the granting of degrees to persons of a certain age group, the United Nations University is visualised as an inter-connected world-wide system of academic institutions devoted to advanced research and training, through an interdisciplinary approach, on problems of human survival, development and welfare. [More…]

To what bodies have such -moneys been advanced, and what was or is the nature of the research being undertaken as a result of the grants in each of the last 3 years. [More…]

But I will not support a resolution of this nature which gives you the power to remove a member from this House perhaps months after the event has occurred. [More…]
Having observed these articles on display and consequently knowing their immoral nature, he confiscated them and returned to the kiosk, accompanied by the boys, so that they could identify the persons who were responsible for the sale. [More…]

[More…]
If we provide services in the Dandenongs and if we provide sewerage facilities of a fullscale nature, it is only natural that the people who are seeking the full services of the quality of urban life will gravitate to the Dandenongs and we will see over- urbanisation to the consequent damage of the unique character of that area.

Notwithstanding the fact that some work of a grass clipping nature was carried out, does the Minister consider the method of distribution of funds for unemployment relief in 1972-73 was made on a needs basis and therefore satisfactory? [More…]
The cost increase was attributed, in the main, to the unusual and rugged nature of the terrain through which Gin Gin Channel is being constructed, to the limited experience in Australia in the design and cost estimation of the pumping equipment to be installed in association with Gin Gin Channel, and to substantial increases in construction site allowances which were not envisaged when estimates for the project were finalised. [More…]
Owners of private aircraft of an historical nature, used for pleasure and not for the purpose of personal transportation, may apply to the Department for special consideration in regard to the level of their charges. [More…]

I think that at a time like this we should not only consider some minor change of that nature but also look at the whole aspect and machinery of question time. [More…]

The fact is that this nation is now ruled by a group of divided and desperate men apparently unable to agree to any responsible Cabinet approach to the serious nature of this country’s economic problems. [More…]

At the time the various tariff proposals implementing these changes were introduced, the nature of the changes was explained at some length. [More…]
Some relate to the peculiarities of the labour market- the changing nature of the labour market Others are explained by political factors, the political argument being that business and unions are becoming increasingly aware of the fact that governments simply cannot maintain restrictive policies for too long because they have to face elections and as a result they are prepared to ride out the rough times.

I have known the Treasurer for a long time and it is not within his nature to indulge in this kind of activity which should be desisted from by men of principle and men of character. [More…]
I do not want to go into the techniques of calculating it but I put the proposition that of its nature the consumer price index in a socialist economy becomes increasingly irrelevant as a reflection of real changes of costs to Australian homes and Australian households. [More…]
When one looks at the residual items that will have to be met by particular consumers it should be remembered that a compulsory tax of this nature is not measured by the index whereas a voluntary payment, and especially that part of the voluntary payment which is unfunded, has to be calculated by the Statistician in the compilation of the index. [More…]
The consumer index, of its nature and without any reflection on the operations of the Statistician, has to be in error in respect of these matters. [More…]
I hope the Treasurer will look at them because the nature of the Australian economy today gives rise to a situation where people do not know precisely the areas in which they are travelling, do not know the path of costs which they are traversing and have had put upon them- if only they knew this- a consumer price index misleading error as to the costs which they have to meet in looking after Australian homes and Australian households.

He does not seem to realise that the principles he is talking about in relation to expressways are all right as general principles but they do not apply to the particular position of Sydney, where the most easterly crossing of the Harbour must remain the Sydney Harbour Bridge and that, by its very nature, is related to the central business district of Sydney. [More…]
But I am afraid that that is the nature of the human being. [More…]
This is a basic facet of human nature that seems to be ignored. [More…]
It is true enough that we are promised that this area will be regrassed and beautiful trees planted, but it seems ridiculous to me that we should have to uproot and destroy a wide acreage of parkland to put in a new park which will never replace what nature took many years to perfect. [More…]
It has not been possible to ascertain the nature and extent of physical education programs conducted by local authorities. [More…]
It has been the practice not to regard activities of the above nature as research and development as such and specific information on the numbers of officers involved and the costs are not readily available. [More…]

It is in the nature of the Commission’s task that in any year some local authorities will receive lower grants than their neighbouring Councils or Shires, and some authorities will not receive any grants. [More…]

He gave an assurance that both he and the Minister for Defence would resist any move of this nature. [More…]
I am equally delighted to see that British Commonwealth ex-servicemen who, if they are not of British origin are not entitled to a service pension because that country does not provide a pension of this nature, will now become entitled after 10 years residence in Australia to receive a repatriation pension. [More…]
For instance, there may be an ex-serviceman who wishes to keep from his family the nature of a particular disease from which he is suffering. [More…]

One of the concomitants of a government’s taking a decision to provide a scheme of that nature is its readiness to do the same in relation to other people for whom it has responsibility and who are similarly placed, because I contend that there is no difference between a DFRB pensioner under the pre-October scheme and a parliamentary pensioner who retired, say, 20 years ago and whose pension under new legislation, regardless of the amount contributed, will automatically become 50 per cent or more than 50 per cent higher, depending on his period of service, of the existing parliamentary salary and any increases in parliamentary salary which might be granted in the future.

I had to firmly but gently reprimand him, not only for the interjection but for the nature of it. [More…]
A statement of that nature from him shows on what shallow ground he stands. [More…]
Today I want to mention firstly the unemployment figures for my own electorate of Warringah because I believe it is of the utmost importance that all Australians should be aware of the very serious nature of this unemployment, not just in the short term, with the short term hardships which many hundreds of thousands of people will be experiencing, but also and perhaps more significantly in the long term prospects of thousands upon thousands of school leavers. [More…]
In the time available I shall emphasise some of the background figures to the dairying industry which have given me reason to say that the problems have been of a long term nature. [More…]
It is with that sort of background in mind that we must view Bills of this nature that seek to restructure an industry on the national level. [More…]
After all the months and months of bashings we have received from it, the criticisms and the misrepresentations of our rural policy, it is good that at last we are on the same railway line and agreeing to a measure of this nature. [More…]
We have to accept the fact that probably the most economic way of producing a certain commodity, whether it be milk or any other agricultural product, is on large integrated properties which by definition at least tend to be masculine in their nature. [More…]
Not only must it be covered by this sort of amendment- naturally I hope that it will be this particular one which I have moved on behalf of dairy farmers whose entire cost structure is built up by diseconomies of this nature- but, as I said before, it has -a reflection on the price which consumers are sometimes forced to pay for the produce of the dairying industry. [More…]
However there are today major and growing sources of overseas funds, particularly sources of a governmental nature, where by reasons of law or established rules or policies it could be difficult if not impossible for the AIDC, acting alone, to gain access. [More…]
I say this because loans of this nature would need approval of the Treasury. [More…]
It has been frequently said in opposition to the proposed ground of divorce that it will change the nature of marriage and encourage persons to move into, and out of, marriage at will. [More…]
All losses and outgoings to the extent to which they are incurred in gaining or producing the assessable income, or are necessarily incurred in carrying on a business for the purpose of gaining or producing such income, shall be allowable deductions except to the extent to which they are losses or outgoings of capital, or of a capital, private or domestic nature, or are incurred in relation to the gaining or production of exempt income.

Almost by definition these colleges will vary in nature and scope in order to meet particular community needs. [More…]
It is, however, very diverse in nature. [More…]
However, speaking to the amendment which is before the Committee, the purpose of the condition which is set out in this clause which requires the States to supply statistical and other information is to obtain information on the nature of the expenditure made by the States. [More…]
Whatever the degree of importance that I may have attached to this Bill, it was certainly not shared by that great concourse of people gathered at the Gabba yesterday tendering advice, ranging from wildly sympathetic in nature to frankly hostile in character. [More…]
It caused a reference to be sent to the Temporary Assistance Authority, which operates within the context of the Industries Assistance Commission, and the Temporary Assistance Authority conducted an open public inquiry into the nature of the problem. [More…]
-The right honourable gentleman ‘s question was more in the nature of a speech. [More…]
In fact the percentage difference in terms of wages is something in the nature of 12 per cent, a figure produced by research in the Industries Assistance Commission. [More…]
Minister not show a bit of honesty and a bit of truth on matters of great moment of this nature. [More…]
Never, on any occasion, have Opposition members offered anything of a constructive nature. [More…]
There have been many generalities but not much of a particular nature. [More…]
This is being specific but I have not heard anything of that nature from the Opposition so far. [More…]
In the past, any Bill of this nature has had a different basic purpose. [More…]
I have no apologies to make about the honourable gentleman’s reference to so-called leaks because these matters have been the subject of meetings that are of a public nature between myself and the Housing Ministers of the various States. [More…]
I preface my comments on the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Bill and also the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Bill by thanking the Minister for the Environment and Conservation (Dr Cass) for his frank and ready co-operation in an endeavour to reach consensus on a number of matters that have concerned the Opposition. [More…]
For that reason I would deplore any attempt to play party politics in dealing with a Bill of this nature. [More…]
The Bill proposes the establishment of a professional service to enable the Australian Government, for the first time, to bring a co-ordinated approach to the management of nature conservation resources in areas under its direct control. [More…]
The Minister stated that the second objective of establishing a national parks and wildlife service was to ‘facilitate co-operation with the States in the national nature conservation effort’. [More…]
The States Grants (National Conservation) Bill, which provides $9m to the States for nature conservation purposes, is a highly desirable objective. [More…]
The Minister stated that the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers, set up on this Government’s initiative, will help in the development of a national approach to the conservation of our unique fauna and flora. [More…]
The first requirement will be that the Federal Govenment does not intend to take over State responsibilities for their proclaimed national parks and duplicate nature conservation programs in the States, and secondly, that it does not intend to override the States in regard to wildlife control. [More…]
Certainly the efforts of Colonel Rose, who I think has retired, have been monumental in the field of nature conservation in the Northern Territory. [More…]
In the second area of concern- the preservation of the rights of the States in regard to wildlife control- the Minister expressed the hope that the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers would help to achieve co-operation between the Commonwealth and the States. [More…]
The Council of Nature Conservation Ministers has been singularly unsuccessful in this regard, and this has been due to the present Government’s actions in respect of kangaroo conservation - [More…]
One of the first actions taken by Dr Cass was to promote the formation of a Council of Nature Conservation Ministers. [More…]
Moreover, I believe that if the Australian Government acquired and proclaimed any areas under its control in the States in the interests of nature and wildlife consevation. [More…]
The Opposition supports the initiatives which the Government is taking with regard to the management of nature conservation resources in areas under its direct control. [More…]
The Opposition supports the State Grants (Nature Conservation) Bill without reservation. [More…]
The States Grants (Nature Conservation) Bill is a Bill which will provide finance for the State governments to become further active in this area. [More…]
One is the national nature- not the State rights oneand the greater scope of control which is exercised. [More…]
They cover national monuments which are land and water areas of lesser acreage than national parks but have great significance, usually of a scientific nature; historical areas; recreational areas- (Quorum formed) Mr Speaker, when I was interrupted I was listing a number of things that are under the control of national parks and wildlife commissions overseas. [More…]
Clearly enough the draftsman has cast his net as widely as possible and the result may be that the constitutional right of the national Parliament to participate in the field of nature conservation, both within the Territories and the States, will be substantiated. [More…]
An amendment which we propose to move and to which I am optimistic that the Government will agree, will ensure that no land in a State can be acquired by the Commonwealth for a park or wildlife reserve which is dedicated or reserved under a law of a State for purposes related to nature conservation or the protection of areas of historical, archaelogical or geological importance or areas having special significance for Aborigines. [More…]
It may be that in some circumstances it may not be a matter of concern because the convention is of a minor nature. [More…]
In the Minister’s second reading speech he refers to the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers which was set up on the Government’s initiative to develop a national approach. [More…]
It is responsible for areas such as national parks, State parks, historic sites, nature reserves and Aboriginal relics. [More…]
At the end of the clause add the following sub-clause: ‘(2) Land shall not be acquired by Australia for the purposes of this Part if it is land that is dedicated or reserved under a law of a State, without consent of (he State, for purposes related to nature conservation or the protection of areas of historical, archaeological or geological importance or of areas having special significance in relation to Aboriginals. [More…]
The intention of this whole exercise- people generally will not realise it because it is accepted in this place- is that the legislation should be associated with State grants for nature conservation purposes. [More…]
state the nature of the report and of any recommendations proposed to be made in the report: [More…]
If approval or authority is to be given for mining to be undertaken on Kakadu National Park or in any other area that is reserved or proclaimed for the purposes of wildlife and nature conservation I believe that this should be done by the corporate body of the executive of the Government itself rather than that power being vested in the hands of a sole Minister who, being a Minister for Minerals and Energy could, of course, have a degree- and I do not say this would be the case with the present Minister for Minerals and Energy but at some future date a Minister for Minerals and Energy could be a mining fanatic - [More…]
-A.s I read sub-clause (2) of clause 10, what it is really saying is that not only must mining, which by definition includes prospecting and exploration, be done with the approval of the Minister for Minerals and Energy but it can only be mining of a non-private nature. [More…]
those licences depend on the interpretation of the words ‘no right, title or interest is vested in a person other than Australia’ and that those words would be wide enough to cover a right in the nature of an exploration licence. [More…]
The reason is that if it is a wilderness area, but under the plan of management it is accessible to those hardy souls who wish to pit themselves against nature in the wilderness, they do not want to feel that if they do go into the area God, in the form of the director, is hovering over them caring for their safety. [More…]
After all, if the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Bill is passed $9m will be allocated for that purpose alone. [More…]
( 1 ) An allegation, in an information in respect of an offence against this Act, the regulations or the by-laws, that any lands in question form part of a national park, historic site, nature reserve, Aboriginal area, protected archaeological area, wildlife district, wildlife refuge or game reserve shall be sufficient without proof of the matter so alleged unless the defendant proves to the contrary. [More…]
But why should there be an unlimited provision of this nature under which an averment or statement can be made and then the onus of proof passes to the defendant? [More…]
Full credit must go to the former Prime Minister, the right honourable member for Lowe, Mr McMahon, for the first initiative in recognising the environment as a dimension that should be taken into consideration when coming to a decision on any proposal of a structural nature or otherwise which might affect the environment. [More…]
So we will see the public making a contribution towards decision making with respect to projects of a significant nature. [More…]
For instance, this would apply in regard to devaluations and matters of that nature. [More…]
The Deputy Leader of the Australian Country Party (Mr Sinclair) and I have just pointed out the totally one-sided nature of the negotiations if such they can be called- arrangements involving only one side of an argument- which are proposed in section 20A (1). [More…]
It is an issue which prompts all members of this Parliament to ask pertinent questions as to the types of investigations that are carried out when appointments of this nature are made. [More…]
The Queensland Government did not have plans of a nature substantial enough to put before the Australian Government so that an estimate of cost and of the finance needed could be made and the money provided. [More…]
The reason why Australian soils are deficient in phosphate is tied up with the nature of the soils in Australia. [More…]

The Opposition supports the Bill but sounds the warning that a measure of this nature is only a palliative, purely a short-term answer to a long-term problem. [More…]
Unfounded reports of this nature might also have had repercussions in other markets of importance to Australia in that region. [More…]
Due to their very nature, they are not considered to be ‘recurrent ex gratia payments ‘ as each case is, upon receipt of the claim, considered as an individual assessment and determined on its merits. [More…]
548 (Hansard 19 September 1974, page 1621) in which the Prime Minister indicated that the form and frequency of exercises in Government Departments in civil defence preparedness are as determined by individual Departments, on what dates in the last 1 8 months have exercises of this nature been conducted in his Department.

[More…]
1 ) The Government’s ability to limit personnel growth in Statutory Authorities depends upon the nature of the Statutory Authority and the provisions of the legislation under which a Statutory Authority is established. [More…]
Since the present Government came into office the only voluntary organisation which has made a request of this nature to my Department is the Safety Engineering Society of Australasia. [More…]

Doherty ), (c) development of language problems based on the developing oral language structures used by 2Vi, y/i, 4VS, 5Vi and 614 year old children (Dr N. W. M. Hart) and (d) information technology and the education system (Professor D. M. Lamberton). [More…]
As in the case of any other taxpayer, a Member of Parliament is entitled to deduct from his assessable income all outgoings (other than outgoings of a capital, private or domestic nature) which are incurred in the course of gaining or producing his assessable income. [More…]
If so, what organisations were involved, and what was the general nature of the submissions. [More…]
I also draw the right honourable member’s attention to pages 82-83 of the Board’s 1974 Annual Report where reference is made to the arrangements used by departments to secure the services of individuals on a non-career basis to perform tasks of an isolated short-term nature where special expertise, competence and skill are required. [More…]

Depending on the nature of the release, two or three public servants in the Department of Aboriginal Affairs are involved with the distribution of press releases. [More…]
Not only are the estimates of average rental increases in each capital city in the nature of approximations only but comparisons of figures for individual cities should not be taken as providing the precise extent of differentials in increases between cities. [More…]

[More…]
As a move from our present premises no longer appears imminent, planning regarding the form and nature of evacuation exercises is again being undertaken [More…]
However, it is extremely difficult to build up a reliable statistical series of land price statistics for many reasons including availability and consistency of data, and the very heterogeneous nature of residential sites. [More…]

) To what bodies have such moneys been advanced, and what was or is the nature of the research being undertaken as a result of the grants in each of the last 3 years. [More…]
It would be an act of criminality on the part of the Opposition parties so to distort the processes of parliamentary government because, whilst the benefit to them may be of a temporary nature, as it would be, in the long term they will cause people to lose all respect for the system of government in Australia. [More…]
The Government has to understand the nature of this problem before it can seek to solve it and the great problem is that the Government does not understand it. [More…]
They underestimate the serious nature of our ills, the complex of social, economic and political factors that might yet destroy the best form of government yet devised. [More…]
In its report of its activities of the year, the Committee stated that during the year it had repeatedly urged the Australian and State governments to repeal all legislation of a discriminatory nature and to take all necessary steps to ratify the Racial Discrimination Convention. [More…]
Now however serious our own problems and however acute my concern about them- and I trust my concern is not in questionI believe as Prime Minister, in the nature of his office, has a special and at times an overriding duty to promote Australia’s place in the world. [More…]
I pointed out the disruptive and harmful nature of this action to the Australian meat industry and urged on European leaders the need for stable long-term marketing arrangements. [More…]
I do not consider the debate on a report of this nature to be a full scale debate on foreign policy. [More…]
The Prime Minister was prepared to take with him an entourage only to justify the nature of the plane. [More…]
Let us look at the nature of the impact of his visit domestically. [More…]
There can be no question whatever about the nature of this convention. [More…]
It means that an honourable member must get the permission of the Speaker or whoever is in charge of the House at the time to make a personal explanation in relation to a matter of a personal nature. [More…]
But if anybody hears, and draws the attention of the Chair to, an interjection of such nature I should certainly ask for a withdrawal or take the appropriate action. [More…]
However, I would say, without any egotism, that honourable members have had more opportunity to debate matters of that nature than they have had for some years. [More…]
The expenditure by political parties and candidates at the 1974 Senate and House of Representatives elections on broadcasting and televising time on commercial stations alone was in the nature of $ 1.5m and in this connection I quote from the Australian Broadcasting Control Board ‘s 26th annual report on its operations during the year ended 30 June 1974. [More…]
With respect to clause 6 (a), in which the functions of the Commission inter alia are expressed to assist the Australian Government in determining the desirable extent, nature and purposes of the use and development of the Darwin area’, the phrase ‘desirable extent’ is confusing. [More…]
In relation to clause 8 (3), I would like to raise the question of whether the Commission should determine the nature and extent of public investment. [More…]
While the emergency restoration went ahead, detailed investigations were made and long-term proposals drawn up of a provisional nature, it is true. [More…]
We are creating a pattern, a prototype, for other devastations of this nature that may occur in other parts of the world. [More…]
More particularly, I would like to see someone on the spot, perhaps a special magistrate assisted by a group of 3 citizens, or a body of this nature. [More…]
Many leaders in the community from the professions, among social workers and in the churches have pointed to the changes which will be introduced into the nature of marriage and threaten the stability of the family if this Bill is passed without amendment. [More…]
For the purpose of proceedings under this Act, a union in the nature of a marriage which is, or has at any time been, polygamous, being a union entered into in a place outside Australia, shall be deemed to be a marriage. [More…]
The whole nature of marriage is altered. [More…]
State interference with the family was, however, of a very limited nature. [More…]
Bearing in mind the major nature of the step and the thought that almost always lies behind it, 12 months provides a sensible cooling off period to guard against hasty divorces. [More…]
It is not possible for this legislation to transform human nature, no matter how much it may try to do so, for when one partner to a marriage contract feels wronged and hurt he or she, despite the divorce laws passed by this Parliament, will dispute with just as much determination, passion and personal expenditure matters of money and property and, naturally enough, the custody of the children. [More…]
This clause changes the nature of the prohibited degrees in marriage. [More…]
This is one of the things which is in human nature, and you cannot ignore it in the Bill. [More…]
These changes do not, I believe, reflect present community values and attitudes, for this very significant Bill would affect the nature of all marriages, not merely those that will end in dissolution. [More…]
I believe that the combination of the proposed maintenance provisions and the 12 months separation provision as the sole ground for divorce will transform the nature and legal concept for marital relationships. [More…]
Incidents of this nature cause great difficulty for the Chair for at times it is extremely difficult to determine what is legitimate political criticism or what may be a reflection of a personal nature which would be unparliamentary and should be withdrawn. [More…]

Having regard to the commercial nature of AIDC’s operations there are some matters of detail in its domestic affairs upon which it is neither required nor expected to report. [More…]

The remedies provided by the Bill will include those of an injunction restraining the doing of discriminatory acts, an order requiring acts of a remedial nature to be done, an order cancelling a contract and damages in respect of the loss suffered by an aggrieved person and the loss of dignity, and the occurrence of humiliation and injury to the feelings of an aggrieved person. [More…]
In other words, I see this as a Bill which gives some demonstration of the stickybeaking nature of the political party that now governs this country. [More…]
You cannot easily wipe out some of the more nasty features of human nature. [More…]
Amendments of this nature may or may not advantage political parties. [More…]
-One of the difficulties in a debate of this nature obviously is the fact that most members of the Parliament- and I talk of members on both sides of the Parliament- do not understand the relationship between candidate and Party, party and business and /or trade union, and all those elements and the media. [More…]
But that does give one an insight into the nature of the problem. [More…]
On a personal point, I should also add that I have been divorced once and I have been happily married twice, so I have had some personal experience of the nature of the problems that can flow from a marriage that has failed. [More…]
We will never change human nature to a great extent- we all know that- but there is no good inflaming it. [More…]
There is a very fundamental change and alteration proposed in the nature of Australian society. [More…]
So virtues claimed for the Bill, if passed, are doubtful, and the philosophic nature of it has to rest in extreme doubt. [More…]
They concern the nature of the marriage itself and make it clear that the package no fault is not a package that has any truth; that the socalled relegation of indignity and bitterness is not relegated. [More…]
The Bill, in section 48, contains a form of action in the nature of a charade. [More…]
The existing Barwick divorce law is attracted by the action of parties to take steps to divorce, but this law is attracted by the fact that people marry because it is changing the nature of marriage in the Australan community. [More…]
Before indicating the nature of the main provisions in the Bill I shall say a word or two about some of the basic requirements for such legislation. [More…]
The receipient organisation would be required to apply its grant towards the obtaining of technical assistance of an expert consultant nature that would otherwise be beyond its existing resources. [More…]
But that is the nature of the man. [More…]
However, it is also his nature to apply a commonsense attitude to a problem when it has been shown that abuses could follow from the change that was made. [More…]
Nevertheless, they can be briefly summarised as follows: The decline in the profitability of existing investment due to accelerating wage and salary costs; the degree of import competition; the prohibitive cost and the scarcity of long-term investment finance; the downturn in demand; the distortive impact of inflation and the obsolescent nature of present accounting practices; the punitive and unrealistic operations of the Prices Justification Tribunal; and the serious erosion of business confidence arising from uncertainty and confusion as to this Government’s intentions. [More…]
It is equally absurd to deliver statements and issue Press releases about the serious nature of the investment downturn and then to neglect completely the need for a decisive and long-term investment program. [More…]
We know the sensitive nature of that sort of mechanism. [More…]
Secondly, I believe that if this proposal were to pass into law it would alter fundamentally the nature and role of the Senate in the Australian Parliament, a role which in the years to come will be of increasing importance and a role which I believe is contributing greatly to effective government in this country. [More…]
… On all general questions, including even some questions of a constitutional nature having a general import … it must be recognised how much the tribunal has of late years done, and is daily doing, to stabilise and harmonise the fundamental law of the Empire, to find and enforce the basic principles of jurisprudence on which modern civilisation rests, and to assist the development of free institutions in the constitutional units of the British Commonwealth of Nations. [More…]
It may be influenced by the federal or unitary nature of the constitution and whether it is written or unwritten, by the legislative procedure in Parliament, by the ease with which parliamentary time can be found to effect amendments in the law which concern only a small minority of citizens, by the extent to which Parliament has been in the habit of intervening to reverse judicial decisions by legislation; but most of all by the underlying political philosophy of the particular nation as to the appropriate limits of the lawmaking function of a non-elected judiciary. [More…]
I am submitting to the Prime Minister and to his Government that there is a clear need for something in the nature of a Statute of Westminster to apply to the States. [More…]
Notwithstanding the force of the arguments the Attorney-General (Mr Enderby) used when he closed the debate on the last Billthat there were very strong legal reasons as to why all appeals to the Privy Council, either from the High Court or from other courts within Australia should be abolished- the plain fact of the matter is that the considerations which have brought the Government to the decision it made in respect to both Bills and which, in respect of this Bill we are presently debating, produce total support from the Opposition, are considerations of a political nature. [More…]
The information on all buildings which are unused ata particular time is not assembled normally because of its transient nature. [More…]
The extent to which the additional funds will be expended in the current financial year will depend among other things on the timing and nature of requests from developing countries and international agencies. [More…]

The main purpose of this Bill is to amend certain provisions of the Commonwealth Railways Act 1917-1973 in order to create the Australian National Railways Commission, thus providing for the increasingly wider functions and responsibilities of Commonwealth Railways including the transfer of State railways; to ensure that the powers, duties and functions of the proposed Commission are, where possible, consistent with other statutory authorities with a similar nature; to make amendments to the Act, which will bring it into line with current commercial practices of statutory authorities; and to overcome administrative problems raised by the Auditor-General. [More…]
At the same time the opportunity will be taken to make several amendments of a machinery nature in relation to financial provisions of the Act and to effect some largely formal amendments. [More…]
It was commenced in 1912 and despite the inhospitable nature of the terrain and wartime supply problems the line was finished in October 1917. [More…]
I said also in my opening remarks that one of the purposes of the proposed Bill is to ensure that the powers, duties and functions of the proposed Commission are, where possible, consistent with other statutory authorities with a similar nature. [More…]
The proposed work is of a similar nature to the previous section except that it will be constructed to the new national highway standards. [More…]
The Corporation’s activities are limited by virtual restriction to enterprises of a commercial nature, and exclusion from general promotion and exhibition roles. [More…]
Broadly, the proposed Film Commission’s functions will now include: The encouragement, whether by the provision of financial assistance or otherwise, of the making, promotion, distribution and exhibition of Australian films and television programs; the making, promotion, distribution and exhibition of any film and television programs, or the commission of these activities; assistance to a State or State authority for the purchase of Australian films of an educational nature and of national interest or importance; and the encouragement of proper keeping of films in archives in Australia and provision of financial assistance, if necessary, for this purpose. [More…]
I do not know whether anyone else in this House has had any experience of that nature. [More…]
With a collection of writers, actors, producers, directors and dancers around one table we will never acheive total unanimity, because of their temperamental nature. [More…]
There are many others who are not in gaol and who have been bailed up as bankrupts who,- 1 am sure, are capable of running their own affairs and I am sure they are capable of running a Council and boards of this nature. [More…]
There also is a close relationship between this question and the degree of independence which these committees must be given under their democratically elected chairmen because, as with any large organisation of this nature, we are running a real risk of the octopus syndrome- the heart hes in the middle, the tentacles go out in all directions to the various areas of the arts, but ultimately they are all directed back towards the centre and the administrative section of the centre grows and grows in accordance with the best Parkinsonian principles. [More…]
It is volatile because of the very nature of its activities. [More…]
Like the honourable member for Franklin (Mr Sherry), I regard this matter as part of the nature of the beast. [More…]
Therefore I come back to the point that this is part of the problem, part of the nature of the beast. [More…]
I instance in particular the major question of the nature of the organisation which was to become the Australia Council. [More…]
I advance the proposition that where as the paid officials of the Council are by nature to be permanent or reasonably permanent officers- there is a provision under clause 9 (2) (c) for departmental or statutory corporation officers to be permanent members of the Council- the artists in the field, as it were, the part-time artist members of the Council, are not in fact given permanent membership of the Council. [More…]
It is not possible to foresee at this stage the nature and extent of what may be needed by way of compensation. [More…]
We believe that the power given under the clause as it is now and as it is accepted by the Government is completely autocratic in nature. [More…]
Two other extracts from his speech are worthy of mention to expose the ineffectual and intimidatory nature of his remarks. [More…]
The nature of the departmental consortium is such that it ensures that due regard is given to opportunities for Australian industry, employment opportunities for Austraiian workmen and other important considerations including tariff matters. [More…]
Had the publishers of the newsletter taken the normal precaution which they usually take in matters of this nature they could have been spared the indignity of being described publicly as publishing a ridiculous, stupid statement that has no substance at all in fact. [More…]
It will be clear from the nature of the items included in these Bills that the granting of these appropriations could not be deferred until the time of the normal additional estimates. [More…]
It found that existing laws have not achieved and, by their separate nature, cannot achieve these objectives. [More…]
In all sincerity, I ask the Attorney-General (Mr Enderby) to note this point: One ofthe main difficulties associated with corporate crime is not so much the reliability of the kind of evidence tendered by the prosecution but that the traditional jury by the very nature of its composition is generally unable to appreciate and evaluate the evidence placed before it. [More…]
Although it is a pity that we get the idea that all people in the industry are rogues, I think some of the romantic tides to the chapters reveal a fair amount of a serious nature behind the report. [More…]
It is interesting to take note of the reactionary people sitting on the Opposition benches because it is impossible to reconcile the objectives which I have just read and the nature of the invitation with the claim that the movement is nonpolitical. [More…]
The Board, in line with established commercial practice, has made public certain details of a non-confidential nature concerning individual sales contracts it has subsequently entered into with the China National Cereals Oils and Foodstuffs Import and Export Corporation. [More…]
I ask the Minister Will he inform the House of the nature and purpose of experiments with mustard gas? [More…]
The Trade Practices Act already contains provisions with respect to unsolicited goods, but those provisions are not appropriate for credit cards, the special nature of which, when sent out unsolicited, gives rise to special objections. [More…]
All I asked the honourable gentleman to do was to give an explanation as to why there was not even a definition of ‘stock broker’ in a Bill of this nature. [More…]
Given the nature of the industry, some people are particularly vulnerable. [More…]
Here we are being invited to put into this Bill a provision of that nature. [More…]
I draw the attention of the Attorney-General to the wide nature of that provision. [More…]
Because of the nature of their work they are often able to take a broad view of a whole industry that people in the industry or a particular part of it have difficulty in taking because their experience has not given them the breadth of view that sometimes a senior public servant has. [More…]
I would have thought that ‘reasonable excuse’ certainly would include a situation of privilege such as he described or the self-incriminatory aspect, although one has to take into account also that there are plenty of examples in our law going back many years- I am thinking in particular of customs and excise type law- where because of the nature of the situation burdens of proof are put unashamedly on the accused and all sorts of prefatory averments exist. [More…]
I put to the Committee that the nature of the Australian Industry Development Corporation is something quite different from that of the normal public statutory corporation, such as, for example, the New South Wales Metropolitan Water Sewerage and Drainage Board. [More…]
Is this a set fee for every application or does it have a relationship to the nature of the corporation, the size of it, the capital of it or what? [More…]
Let me point out also that this is only the first of 2 Bills of this nature which must come before the Parliament. [More…]
Surely the answer is for the industry to learn the rules of a body which has a continuing nature and deal with it rather than to expect a similarly satisfactory situation to result from the putting of all these regulationsregulations which cannot have the flexibility that the proposed Commission’s regulations will have- into law. [More…]
It is a clause which I hope would never be resorted to by any government, because plainly recourse to a provision of this nature would be taken only in the gravest emergency. [More…]
I ask the AttorneyGeneral to state the circumstances in which he envisages there would be recourse to a power of this nature. [More…]
It could well be that a hearing before the Administrative Appeals Tribunal under sub-clause 8 of clause 65, which deals with appeals to that Tribunal, may result in the Tribunal, on hearing arguments on the point asking what was the basis, what was the nature of the particulars. [More…]
One has to declare principles in legislation, as they exist everywhere else, in the nature of an offence. [More…]
The purpose of registration, of course, is to try to ensure that false documents in the nature of prospectuses are not circulated to induce people to part with their money as so often happens. [More…]
To write into a piece of legislation a provision that without the existence of any just cause, excuse or reason for suspecting wrongdoing an officer of the Commission shall be entitled to attend meetings of this nature is to so extend the surveillance of the Commission into the private affairs of members of an exchange as to defy justification. [More…]
That is what I described this afternood as something almost in the nature of a Henry VIII clause. [More…]
Because of the nature of the gear involved, as well as the processing requirements, it is an industry which must continually seek to expand its market opportunities, particularly within an environment of raging inflation of the sort to which I have already referred. [More…]
and (4) The processing of applications may differ according to circumstances and the nature of the drug concerned. [More…]
I am sure that the constructive nature of these proposed changes in the statistics legislation will have wide support and I commend the Bill to honourable members. [More…]
It will be in a position to be an innovator in housing construction both of a technical and social nature. [More…]
I am pointing out the regressive nature of the policy and that if a virtue is claimed by the Government in that it wants to help the battler in this world and those people in the low income groups, its policies deny thai fact. [More…]
I do not think that schemes of this nature should be brought in by regulation. [More…]
These are the functions of a housing commission; these are the functions of an organisation that has the responsibility for providing and building estates of a uniform nature as we have seen built by the Housing Commission of New South Wales. [More…]
Yet the Bill contains a clause of the widest possible nature. [More…]
When the hardship is of a temporary nature, such as in the case of unemployment, it would be possible for the terms of the loan by the Corporation to be changed to reduce the concession so that assistance is not provided to people who do not need it. [More…]
These tests are very difficult because one’s understanding of the nature of a family varies with each family situation. [More…]
It regards such education as vitally significant and undoubtly a major contribution towards ensuring as far as possible that couples contemplating marriage understand what is involved, and that the marriage relationships into which they enter are likely to be of a stable and enduring nature. [More…]
Whereas the incidence of divorce may be related to the nature of the divorce laws, there is no proof that the incidence of marriage breakdown bears any relation to those laws. [More…]
This success is attributed to the voluntary nature of well-established procedures, in which counsellors can concentrate on people who have the best chance of reconciling; on counselling availability prior to filing for divorce; on the high professional quality of the conciliation staff; and on the use of formal conciliation agreements. [More…]
We are not dealing with a new heaven; we are dealing with a very old world in which the cold admonitions of the cloisters will not protect human nature. [More…]
As was observed, from the place where the present Attorney-General (Mr Enderby) sits at the table, by one of his most distinguished predecessors, the now Chief Justice of the High Court of Australia, Sir Garfield Barwick, a very great Australian and a very great judge, when he introduced the Matrimonial Causes Bill, now the Act 1959-1 can recall him standing at that dispatch box and saying: ‘It is not of the nature of human nature to have the saintliness of Hosea’. [More…]
But the great weakness of human nature is in doing it accurately and doing it justly. [More…]
Clause 43 of the Bill outlines the approach of a secular nature that shall be taken towards marriage. [More…]
The nature of marriage has changed and will continue to change despite the law and despite whether this Bill is passed. [More…]
As the Bill stands, it further threatens the nature of the marriage contract and thus, I believe, the foundation of our society which, after all, is the family unit. [More…]
Whilst I accept the force of that argument, I believe that, on balance, the uniquely personal nature of matrimonial causes proceedings demands that, except in special circumstances, courts be closed. [More…]
In addition, clause 76 has provision for determining the nature, duration and amount of payment under such orders for the maintenance of children. [More…]
For the purpose of proceedings under this Act, a union in the nature of a marriage which is, or has at any time been, polygamous, being a union entered into in a place outside Australia, shall be deemed to be a marriage. [More…]
A moral philosopher is one who seeks to discover the nature of truth, what is good or bad, what is the nature of goodness or badness and what values can be placed on the various aspects of the matter under discussion. [More…]
On those terms and on the precedent which have been set by the 2 previous Speakers on questions of this nature, the amendment is in order, and I so rule. [More…]
Let it not be forgotten that the purposes of the Murphy raids on ASIO, or the nature ofthe documents that he was so desperate to find, have never been revealed. [More…]
We find also that the Country Party is going into South Australia to try to distract attention from the disunity that exists in that State and to take the minds of the people ofl’ the rigging of electoral boundaries and things of that nature for which the Country Party is famous. [More…]
Nobody disputes these matters might well be matters in which the Commonwealth, in exercising its relations with the States, can well assist, but what we dispute is that the Commonwealth, in endeavouring to lay down as it is a platform of this nature and suggesting that it can be related to this BUI, is in fact being quite deceitful. [More…]
Is it obstructionism for us to talk about a BUI which Will if it is passed, alter the whole nature of the society in which we live and which will restructure society, as the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam) said in his election speech? [More…]
Since coming into office the Government has amended the Defence Service Homes Act on 2 occasions and has extended the nature and scope of the scheme. [More…]
The transcript of the Prime Minister’s Press conference on the previous day demonstrates the misleading nature of his policy commitment. [More…]
They are in the nature of bandaging a cancer. [More…]
It is the nature of things these days that one seeks to explain those figures away by falling back on the jargon of our dme. [More…]
If anybody wants to know something of the nature of the cerebral processes of James Ford Cairns, the Treasurer of Australia, I invite him to read the ‘Quiet Revolutionary’ because in it is a complete and utter revelation of the honourable gentleman and what he seeks to do. [More…]
There was a time when people in public life spent money in the nature of a trustee. [More…]
I withdraw the remarks, but I say that the House is entitled to see the nature ofthe apology. [More…]
the extent and nature of present unemployment in Australia, [More…]
This is because of the nature of the kind of work that the RED scheme is directed to carry out. [More…]
This simply means that the unemployment problem, to which the honourable member for Wannon has referred in six or seven other debates of this nature, continues to be a major problem and it more than justifies the foreshadowed motion of the honourable member that during the recess of this Parliament the matter be examined by a select committee of the House. [More…]
We have problems of this nature which underlie the emphasis the Opposition has been placing on the general economic policies of the Government and which show again the ultimate folly of the 25 per cent tariff reduction. [More…]
I do think it is important to refer to the subject matter of this discussion, that is, the nature and extent of unemployment, the remedies which have been adopted and also to point out that this House will be in recess and these matters will continue to be grave. [More…]
By the term ‘core of our whole society’ I mean the whole structure and nature of it- the pursuit of profit and the whole capitalist system generally, which seems to be based on the consumption of manufactured goods. [More…]
Help of this nature is of no use at all and the finance cannot be used unless interest and redemption are reasonable, fair and within reach. [More…]
In spite of the minor nature of the error the Government considers that, in view of the constitutional significance of the Bill, it would be better if it were to express the intention exactly. [More…]
I just want to say to my honourable and learned friend that a fact of life is that such is the pace in relation to the handling of legislation that the Government is insisting upon observing that errors of this nature occur. [More…]
It is hoped our report may assist in defining the nature of its powers and its place in Australian Capital Territory government. [More…]
It displayed the completely anti-social nature of a foreign-owned company interested only in screwing as much profit out of Australia as it could. [More…]
The Centre is to have dealings, often of a business nature, including sale and purchase of teaching materials, and as it will be engaging in the production and sale of educational materials it will need to hold copyright. [More…]
In keeping with the nature of its functions and operations it is proposed that the Centre’s financial transactions be outside the public account. [More…]
The proposition that resources should move freely to areas in which they could be used for the best production and to produce the most was contrary to the attitudes of the Government which of its nature and of its philosophy had to intervene in the economy. [More…]
I think the matters which are referred to are matters of debating points and not matters of a personal nature. [More…]
I think that personal explanations must be of a personal nature. [More…]
Yesterday in this House the administration of the Department of Labor and Immigration and the nature of assistance being provided to help Australia’s record numbers of unemployed, were canvassed. [More…]
Unfortunately, under the Standing Orders, the nature of the motion and the numbers on the Government side, private members’ day has been denied. [More…]
One related to the inadequacy of programs for northern development; the second related to Mr Ermolenko and the nature of his expulsion from Australia; and the third related to the circumstances of supplementary assistance for pensioners. [More…]
I believe that the family is still the basic unit of society despite the changes in the extent of its role and the nature of its role over the ages. [More…]
It is fundamentally an intimate human relationship between 2 people and therefore unaviodably subject to all the vagaries of human nature. [More…]
How far can we go in terms of disasters of any nature- natural disasters emanating from some phenomenon of nature, disasters from pure chance on the highways in motor vehicles, disasters emanating from individual judgments on matters such as whether to marry, whether to take heed or advice in a matter or whether to go in strong mind and strong will in defiance of all reasons to the contrary? [More…]
These arguments appear to begin from the premise that the traditional concept is sacred, in some way inviolate, unchanging and immutable and that any attitude towards the nature of the family which tends to deviate from this traditional concept is in someway wrong, is undesirable or is immoral and therefore must be resisted at any cost. [More…]
I do not accept this premise about the unchanging nature of the family or that any change should necessarily be resisted. [More…]
The changes in the nature of the family have many causes and have had many manifestations in the history of mankind. [More…]
The tragedy of the whole situation is that the improvement has to be within human nature and not within the legislation. [More…]
I think it should be said that the legislation contains problems which come from the whole nature of the change in our society. [More…]
I shall now turn to 2 major factors determining the nature of the trade union training provisions of the Bill. [More…]
Instructors and lecturers need to understand thoroughly their subject and the objectives and nature of the trade union movement. [More…]
I do not propose to go all over it other than to refer to the preamble m which the Minister stated: to create the Australian National Railways Commission, thus providing Tor the increasingly wider functions and responsibilities of Commonwealth Railways including the transfer of State railways; to ensure that the powers, duties and functions of the proposed Commission are, where possible, consistent with other statutory authorities with a similar nature; to make amendments to the Act, which will bring it into line with current commercial practices of statutory authorities; and to overcome administrative problems raised by the Auditor-General. [More…]
At the same time the opportunity will be taken to make several amendments of a machinery nature . [More…]
I often wonder whether unionists who were involved directly in strikes of that nature are aware of the spin-off from actions taken when they go on strike. [More…]
The main purpose of this Bill is to amend certain provisions of the Commonwealth Railways Act 1917-1973 in order to create the Australian National Railways Commission, thus providing for the increasingly wider functions and responsibilities of Commonwealth Railways including the transfer of State railways; to ensure that the powers, duties and functions of the proposed Commission are, where possible, consistent with other statutory authorities with a similar nature; to make amendments to the Act, which will bring it into line with current commercial practices of statutory authorities; and to overcome administrative problems raised by the Auditor-General. [More…]
If politics were dropped from the matter and discussions of a genuine nature took place perhaps Perth could look forward to the establishment of a standardised rail system throughout the State. [More…]
They were to ensure that the powers, duties and functions of the proposed Australian National Railways Commission, where possible, are consistent with other statutory authorities of a similar nature; to make amendments to the Act which will bring it into line with current commercial practices of statutory authorities; and to overcome administrative problems raised by the Auditor-General. [More…]
While one cannot disagree with the objectives put before us when it is sought to make the Commission an authority consistent with other statutory authorities of a similar nature or to adopt current commercial practices or to overcome administrative problems raised by the Auditor-General, one can object to what the Minister proposes to do after this, as foreshadowed in his second reading speech. [More…]
Because of the nature of the track I hope that we will rethink the question of speeds over the line both for passenger and freight trains. [More…]
Jones, being as any citizen- it could be Cohen, it could be Enderby- is summoned before the Commissioner and he says: What is the nature of complaint against me? [More…]
10) What was the nature of each project. [More…]
It is therefore necessary m some cases for these officers to interview chemists, doctors and patients, depending on the nature of the enquiries, and to ask the type of questions to which the honourable member has referred. [More…]
Those who acted for Australia as the government mistook entirely the nature of Australia’s interests and obligations and her rights. [More…]
They shared, and encouraged the Australian people to accept, a delusion about the nature of the conflict in IndoChina. [More…]
What has changed is the nature of the fighting and the level of violence. [More…]
He said that it is a civil war, that the real character of the war has never changed and that what has changed is the nature of the fighting and the level of the violence. [More…]
I will say whether they are of an equivalent nature- they are the same- or whether they are not of an equivalent nature but are different in character. [More…]
This House is entitled to ask whether the difference in action in regard to the refugees from the 2 countries depends upon the ideological background and the nature of the refugees concerned. [More…]
I will mention the nature of that program. [More…]
The United States Congress is probably more unpredictable because of the nature of Congress than it had been in past years and that is, I suppose, because there are not some significant figures who support or who are noted for a cause and who carry Congress with them. [More…]
If United States power is once challenged and found wanting, no matter what the nature of the challenge, then the free world credibility everywhere is threatened. [More…]
I was disappointed in the Prime Minister’s speech because it was narrow, negative and looking only to the past when we should be looking to the future, examining the circumstances of the world in which Australia will be living in the future and nature of the relationships that we embrace with our near and further distant neighbours. [More…]
The New Zealand Ambassador has absolute discretion as to the form and the nature of the flights by his Government within South Vietnam. [More…]
It has been aid of a proper nature. [More…]
Their peaceful nature came bounding forth when they returned; they fired shots at people walking past on the footpaths. [More…]
Whilst there are plenty of jobs, plenty of houses and plenty of educational opportunities, problems of a discriminatory nature will be subdued. [More…]
It is principally in adverse times that problems of a discriminatory nature surface. [More…]
The stress placed on those two functions clearly determines the nature of the law. [More…]
We will also seek to ensure that proceedings during the conciliation procedures are not admissible as evidence during later proceedings and also to ensure that the person making the complaint- I believe this is very important- and the nature of the complaint are known to the person being complained about. [More…]
The Bill provides a healthy breeding ground for sneaks, informers, pimps, jealousy and revenge, and an army of racial officials whose role will be of an inquisitorial nature with wide powers of law enforcement. [More…]
The weakness in human nature has led to some of the most bloody religious wars. [More…]
It is not enough to say that racism exists in other countries or to make the excuse that racism is an inherent part of human nature. [More…]
But legislation of this nature will make sure that they are equally careful not to eliminate somebody from consideration on a racial basis. [More…]
It may well be that in the light of experience of legislation of that nature it will be necessary to strengthen it. [More…]
Legislation of a roughly similar nature to that proposed by the Government has been passed, I understand, in the United Kingdom. [More…]
The project is of a humanitarian nature and involves provision of schools, health clinics, child care centres, agricultural training units and nutrition units for refugees from Southern Rhodesia, South Africa, Namibia and Angola who have temporarily settled in Zambia. [More…]
The nature and quality of the debate indicates that this Parliament is well aware of the profound effects of radical changes in the nation’s divorce laws. [More…]
On this basis I am convinced that a 12-month separation period by a unilateral decision of one partner will weaken the nature of the contract, will produce an attitude damaging to the values of the institution of marriage and therefore will not act as a buttress to society’s structure. [More…]
I am a puritan person; I am a puritan by nature. [More…]
I also rise in this debate to speak briefly because I realise that the time that has been taken up in considering this matter has been lengthy and that there is very little of a fresh nature that can be added to the debate. [More…]
To me, the Bill is a healing lotion, a balm, or something of that nature which smooths over the problems which exist in marital relations. [More…]
I cannot recall any other laws of a civil nature, outside the fair rents courts, where each party has to pay his or her own costs regardless of the issues which are being litigated or the result of that litigation. [More…]
I put it to honourable members that the delay that has taken place because of the nature of the subject- it is a matter on which people form very strong views- indicates that there will not be any solution reached in a select committee. [More…]
Of course that by itself would not be persuasive but on the information that comes to me it is not being abused and it is serving a very useful place in that other type of legislation, given the nature of the problem. [More…]
I do not think that the Government or honourable members could accuse the Opposition of pettifogging or nitpicking but we think that as a minimum requirement, if somebody makes a complaint of a serious nature like this, at least it should be made in writing. [More…]
As the honourable member for Bennelong (Mr Howard) has already said, it may be that something of this nature may need to be added subsequently. [More…]
We do not think we can go very much further than that, given the nature of the problem that exists. [More…]
It seems that having regard both to the nature of the amendments we have moved so far to this legislation, and to our attitude to the Superior Court of Australia, the existence of sub-clauses (4) and (8) are unnecessary. [More…]
There are very strong and valid reasons why jurisdiction of this nature ought not necessarily be exercised by a Superior Court. [More…]
But I will say that I deplore the nature of this Bill. [More…]
I do not believe that by an Act of Parliament one can carry out basic reforms relating to individual attitudes or reforms of a moral or sociological nature. [More…]
In my view- I admit that I have not made a formal count- the overwhelming number of the Aboriginals who would be affected by this BUI would be opposed to the proposals which the minister is bringing forward in the nature of amendments. [More…]
To what bodies have such moneys been advanced, and what was or is the nature of the research being undertaken as a result of the grants in each of the last 3 years. [More…]
For instance, in the opinion of medical specialists it may not be in the best interests to make available to a particular client a medical report of a rather crucial and personal nature, such as one advising of a terminal disease or of an acute psychiatric disorder. [More…]
That because of the unsatisfactory offer of reimbursement for the week involved and the temporary nature of the offer of agency and other unknown factors it be not taken up at the present time - [More…]
The nature of the control of both organisations deserves to be looked at extremely closely. [More…]
I believe that in order to clear the air the nature of the controls, of the rallying points, for each of these applications- the one that exists now and the one for the controlling interest in station 5KA- deserves to be investigated by the Board, and more questions should be asked than the Board has so far asked in respect of the application by Festival City Broadcasters. [More…]
I emphasise those 2 main grounds for objectionthe individual nature of the position of members of Parliament in this Parliament and the legal difficulties and confusion that will arise with party names, with the tremendously cumbersome provisions that cover 6 pages of material which, when one reads it carefully, raises a lot of questions in people’s minds and therefore does not give the certainty that is necessary. [More…]
In the process of that name change, obviously there will be periods when duplications and things of that nature will occur. [More…]
What the Labor Party is trying to do is to educate its own electors who probably do not understand, cannot read, and things of that nature. [More…]
If I as a private member of Parliament am to be forced to make an association with a party which is binding and which will be represented on the ballot papers, and things of this nature, I think that this is something which should be taken very seriously and be looked at a lot more seriously than it has been. [More…]
Many of the 34 changes are purely of an administrative nature and simply bring this legislation into line with other legislation on these matters. [More…]
Honourable members will recall the widespread exasperation and disgust in the community over the complexity of the ballot papers and the protracted nature of the count. [More…]
Development is also making grants and through the regional councils, but even though assistance of this nature is being given to local government it still has not been able to reduce the rate structure. [More…]
548 (Hansard, 19 September 1974), page 1621) in which the Prime Minister indicated that the form and frequency of exercises in Government Departments in civil defence preparedness are as determined by individual Departments, on what dates in the last 18 months have exercises of this nature been conducted in his Department. [More…]
This is the type of nature conservation problem which is appropriate for consideration by the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers. [More…]
roads, kerbs and guttering, and land acquisition but is ex elusive of headworks costs, disposal costs, and roads of a national or territorial nature. [More…]
I have had inquiries made because one always views reports of this nature with considerable concern. [More…]
To intensify the nature of our grievance, it is in fact seeking not merely to exploit Australia to the extent of that 160 million tonnes of coal but also it is seeking 1600 million tonnes and it wants $80 billion worth of coal. [More…]
I am sure you would agree that statements of this nature are quite inconsistent with Government monetary policy as stated by you. [More…]
Inflation is now built into the economic system because of the monopolistic nature of the private sector and because of the strength and militancy of organised workers. [More…]
If he had some concern of a minor nature, why could he not relate it to the Government? [More…]
Argentina, a country of similar nature and size to Australia, has been in social upheaval ever since that program was started upon. [More…]
Many of the existing facilities are seriously under-utilised either in relation to occupancy or in the nature of the service they currently provide. [More…]
I would underline the imperative nature of the close link that must be maintained between this statutory body that is being appointed and the Schools Commission. [More…]
Again, we have this link between the Curriculum Development Centre, the quality of teachers, the courses they will teach, the standard which they attain, the quality of our remedial teachers and matters of this nature which are absolutely vital. [More…]
I hesitate to break the non-partisan nature of this debate in any way, but I would like to take up 2 points made by 2 different speakers for the Government. [More…]
I draw his attention to the nature of the Australian Education Council. [More…]
I would draw the attention of honourable gentlemen opposite, who seem to think this is an authority, to the nature of the proposals which have been put forward and which it has asked me to approve. [More…]
The result in these circumstances is that such a tradesman has no understanding of the nature of change in society and little or no capacity to adjust to that change. [More…]
It must not be afraid, with changing circumstances, to adjust the nature of the Commissions and the interplay of their functions. [More…]
But technical education is by its very nature, because of the fact that in many cases persons attend such institutions on a part time basis and often at night after a day’s work, denied the kind of opportunity of social contact and the kind of social development that one would wish it to have. [More…]
I am delighted that the Bill has the support of the Parliament and indeed, of the House of Representatives Select Committee, which reported in September 1973 on the need for an authority of this nature. [More…]
There are a thousand questions of this nature that the Minister has not attempted to explain or answer. [More…]

The second matter that I want to refer to, because I think it is necessary that it be stated in this debate, is that this particular disaster, as all honourable members will recall, was one of two of an extraordinary nature that occurred during the most recent overseas visit of the Prime Minister (Mr Whitlam). [More…]
I do not think that this debate should pass without a reconsideration of the nature of those remarks by the Prime Minister and the extent to which perhaps they have prejudiced the outcome of that inquiry. [More…]
In view of the nature of the Government’s amendment the Opposition will not pursue its amendment, but I would like to make it quite clear that the matter of the representation of the States is significant to the Opposition. [More…]

On the question of privacy, do not let us get too dramatic about it, because under the existing statistics regulations which I notice were passed and amended in 1958, we can ask all sorts of embarrassing personal questions if we come to things of that nature. [More…]
Whilst that does not mean that other complaints of that nature were not made in other parts of [More…]
The terms and nature of the credit standing of a citizen with a creditor is a personal and private matter of concern between the citizen and the creditor- be it bank, lender or vendor- and, as such, details of credit rating should be privy only to the citizen and the creditor involved. [More…]
I repeat that the terms and nature of credit arrangements are a matter of the utmost privacy which ought to be known to the borrower and the creditor only and certainly ought to be made available to third parties only with the borrower’s express permission. [More…]
I do not want to go into great detail on the nature of the building. [More…]
I decide the nature of projects for support on the advice of the committee, within the terms of reference of the committee. [More…]
Inflation is now built into the economic system because of the monopolistic nature of the private sector and because of the strength and militancy of organised workers. [More…]
Although the Deputy Leader of the Opposition (Mr Lynch), the Leader of the Opposition (Mr Malcolm Fraser) and other spokesmen for the Opposition have constantly said that the cure for inflation and social ills that seem to have taken over the whole of the Western economies lies in reduced government expenditure, none of them before has ever told us the precise nature of the reduction in Government expenditure which a LiberalCountry Party government would bring about. [More…]
In seasonally adjusted constant price terms, investment of this nature is estimated to have fallen by 12.1 per cent in the December quarter following an increase of 7.2 per cent in the September quarter; there was a decline- [More…]
How sadly they must have been disappointed upon listening to today’s debate and realising how little of a positive nature Opposition members are willing to put forward when they bring before the House for discussion the economic situation in this country. [More…]
Perhaps it is a gamble the Government should not have taken, but I believe that unemployment has a more important priority than inflation in the immediate term and if unemployment can be corrected with a deficit of this nature then I think it ought to be corrected. [More…]
In 1955, after the Geneva Accords of 1954 during the 300-day cease fire and after that cease fire, the world saw the greatest slaughter that has ever been seen in a situation of that nature. [More…]

If the Government wants to show its bona fides in its wish to create an interstate commission for which the Constitution provides and which will exercise regulatory power over transport in a manner which is truly in keeping with the federal nature of the Constitution, the Opposition will support such legislation. [More…]
It will provide the means by which the transport system of an interstate and overseas nature will be placed on a basis of national efficiency, free of disadvantage to users of the system. [More…]
In 1912 powers were vested in the Commissioners of the Inter-State Commission which were of a judicial nature. [More…]
The challenge, of course, was that the Constitution provided that any appointment of a judicial nature should not be limited by years in office but should be for life. [More…]
If one goes back to the debates and to the evidence that was given before the Royal Commission on the Constitution in 1927 one will find that the emphasis there was on the investigatory nature of the Inter-state Commission. [More…]
Those suggestions in those references were to a body of an investigatory nature. [More…]
Even an attempt to pursue a measure of fiscal equalisation or a similar equalisation of standards between the local government authorities in Australia must fail because of its nature. [More…]
I put this to the Minister for Minerals and Energy (Mr Connor) who is at the table: If the one remaining claimant State is induced to withdraw from the area of the Commission, will the Government ensure that the nature of the work of the Commission between the States is continued? [More…]
Sir Charles Cutler, this man who condemns the Australian Government for being socialist in its nature, is not prepared to disseminate this money to the people at the grass roots level. [More…]
-The amendments proposed by this Bill are only of a minor nature, yet one in particular is in my view very important. [More…]
Rather, it will be in the nature of a ‘topping-up’ process of the financial resources of lesser endowed bodies to enable them, by reasonable revenue raising efforts on their part, to provide a standard of service to their communities that will be comparable with that enjoyed in communities elsewhere. [More…]
The whole nature of a scientific piggery is such that the old catch-as-catch-can, haphazard breeding methods have been replaced completely. [More…]
But the nature of the industry is such that there has been a fairly significant overall reduction in the number of pigs in Australia, so we are in a rather strange position in that pig numbers are going down although pig prices seem to be high. [More…]
One of the problems in the nature of the introduction of these scientific piggeries is the significance of larger producers, as distinct from the smaller producers. [More…]
In the Pig Slaughter Levy Collection Bill 1975 all the amendments are of a drafting nature to deal with the change of name of the relevant Department and the change from the expression ‘the Commonwealth’ to ‘Australia’. [More…]
The other amendments are of a drafting nature only. [More…]
Some of the matters are of great substance to the people concerned and other matters are merely of a machinery nature. [More…]
The Opposition considers, therefore, that in the circumstances and despite the unusual nature of their employment, flight crew officers should be treated in the same way and according to the same rules as other people within the jurisdiction of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission. [More…]

If we look back over the history of the last 60 or 70 years we will find that Governments of a similar nature have always adopted an antiworking class line. [More…]
I mentioned earlier that although these people have performed well in the past, we are reaching an age when, because of technological changes and the more complex nature of conciliation and arbitration, possibly more is required than that background of just job experience, although that experience is still extremely important. [More…]
The second amendment just expands, to some extent, the nature of the report which might come to Parliament on an annual basis. [More…]
disclose the nature of his interest at a meeting of the Commission. [More…]
They are clear and what we would normally anticipate as necessary in a Bill of this nature. [More…]
But unfortunately that is in the nature of modern legislation. [More…]
Yet the nature of anti-dumping legislation requires that this be so. [More…]
Despite this move, the comprehensive nature of the problem has not been fully recognised. [More…]
I would have liked to have heard something of that nature. [More…]
Use could be made of a police and citizens welfare club which stands idle all day or of a disused community building such as a shire office, a fire station or like buildings of a semi-industrial or office nature. [More…]

When one looks at the reasons for the 3,000 to 4,000 rejections under the scheme each year one starts to get some sort of insight into the anomalous nature of it. [More…]
Within the Attorney-General’s Department there has been developed a natural bias towards the legal nature and the legal operations of government. [More…]
He drew attention to the right of private members of this Parliament to have access to parliamentary counsel for drafting requirements and general legislative advice of the nature to which I have referred. [More…]
He must have knowledge of the law that extends right across the whole field of government, because from day to day he has to consider questions of differing nature. [More…]
There can be no doubt as to our general attitude towards legislation of this nature and the need to provide a more co-ordinated system for the review of administrative discretions and decisions. [More…]
In many ways, from the very nature of the position of the ombudsman, certain limitations of scope and operation necessarily exist. [More…]
Thirdly, it would provide a direct and centralised source of redress for all matters of an administrative nature. [More…]
What is the nature of these delays? [More…]
If the delays are noticeable, is this further evidence of the inefficient and unsatisfactory nature of the present private health insurance scheme? [More…]
There have been numerous complaints of this nature in the community. [More…]
The nature and extent of competition between the traditional Australian pack of mushrooms in butter sauce and imported mushrooms in brine was far from clear. [More…]
Between 1968-69 and 1972-73 final consumption expenditure of a non-capital nature increased by about 58 per cent, while total receipts, not including advances on loans, increased by only 49 per cent. [More…]
I could quote other figures of a similar nature. [More…]
The extent to which this will occur will depend on the nature and flexibility of the conditions imposed. [More…]
I mentioned earlier the administrative problems caused by the complex nature of the present superannuation arrangements. [More…]
In view of the nature of the legislation it is important, firstly, that honourable members be given reasonable opportunity to present their point of view and to suggest, if necessary, how the legislation might be improved and, secondly, for the Bill to be debated and decided on as soon as possible. [More…]
Let me say to the House that we are completely in accord with the idea of initiating debate on the Family Law Bill at clause 48 which is, after all, the core in a consideration of the legislation and indicates the nature of the changes which the Family Law Bill itself proposes. [More…]
On matters such as abortion reform and on other matters of a social nature it has been the practice of the Government to allow a free vote, but so that the votes may be taken procedures have been laid down and endorsed on party lines. [More…]
Therefore, I have moved this motion which is procedural in nature and merely clears the way for an omnibus question to be put deleting the word ‘Office’ wherever it occurs in the Bill and substituting the word ‘Corporation’. [More…]
That by its very nature is- [More…]
This decision is simply again a stark reflection of the haste in which the legislation was formulated and the inaccuracy and misleading nature of the second reading speech. [More…]
Practices of this nature apply in respect of a number of State Government insurance offices. [More…]
I have adverted to sufficient of them to expose the falsity and misleading nature of the claims made by the Minister in his second reading speech. [More…]
I must say that I am astonished by the nature of the attack that has been waged in this House today by the Deputy Leader of the Opposition (Mr Lynch), who spoke for the Liberal Party, and the Leader of the National Country Party (Mr Anthony) against the creation of a new insurance office which will operate, if one may say so, as a ‘pigmy’ among the 50 or so life insurance offices and 200-odd general insurance companies that already exist in Australia. [More…]
As I say, because of the nature of the society in which we live most of those areas of insurance are necessary. [More…]
It is being introduced at a time when the Insurance Acts rationalisation is taking effect and at a time when the insurance industry, like all other industries but by its very nature especially, is feeling the effects of inflation. [More…]

Mr Speaker, with a remarkable degree of anticipation I thought I might get a question of this nature so I have come prepared for it. [More…]
Given indexation of price movements for wages up to average weekly earningsthat covers people receiving up to about $150 a week- given the annual review on productivity which the Commission has decided shall apply, and given the right at any time to prove anomalies or by work value studies to prove that there has been a change in the nature of the work, an increase will then be granted and provided of course that transitional anomalies are removed after they are proven, we believe that this is the only rational way of organising wages. [More…]
What is important is the mischievous nature of the article. [More…]
It is essential that in our redefinition we have an ear not only to the fundamental nature of the institution of marriage but also to the needs and demands of a changing society and to basic principles of justice. [More…]
He suggested that, as far as possible with legislation of this nature, we should endeavour to arrive at some consensus as to the widely held views of people in the community in relation to what our divorce laws should state. [More…]
Above all, legislation of this nature must cater for the spectrum of community views on divorce and marriage. [More…]
I suggest that in undefended suits it is the procedure, which it is necessary to go through in seeking a favourable settlement, and the nature of divorce itself which cause the humiliation, bitterness and unhappiness. [More…]
Surely, in a Bill of this nature, we should not be simply seeking a compromise so that both sides have honour. [More…]
There is a notion that it is not of a permanent nature. [More…]
I was concerned at the comment that the average amount of time spent by judges in dealing with cases is in fact of a very limited nature. [More…]
Certainly when one looks at the matters in clause 48 that have to be proved to the court, they are of a very much more limited nature than the matters that formerly had to be evidenced to the court to enable it to grant a decree. [More…]
In fact, there may be nothing directly of a legal nature that the Government can do to prevent this action. [More…]
For the purpose of proceedings under this Act, a union in the nature of a marriage which is, or has at any time been, polygamous, being a union entered into in a place outside Australia, shall be deemed to be a marriage. [More…]

For the purpose of proceedings under this Act, a union in the nature of a marriage which is, or has at any time been, polygamous, being a union entered into in a place outside Australia by persons ordinarily resident in such place, in accordance with the laws of that place, shall be deemed to be a marriage. [More…]
For the purpose of proceedings under this Act, a union in the nature of a marriage which is, or has at any time been, polygamous, being a union entered into in a place outside Australia, shall be deemed to be a marriage. [More…]
For the purpose of proceedings under this Act - in other words, for the purposes of family law and matrimonial causes- a union in the nature of a marriage which is, or has at any time been - [More…]
For the purpose of proceedings under this Act, a union in the nature of a marriage which is, or has at any time been, polygamous, being a union entered into in a place outside Australia, shall be deemed to be a marriage. [More…]
I would not go so far as to say that the clause will bring about a situation in which we have a nation made up of eastern potentates with harems or anything of that nature. [More…]
But still, at the risk, as I said, of incurring the Attorney-General’s displeasure that I should presume to bother the parens patria of this country on a matter of this nature, I should like to know from the Attorney-General what he has in mind. [More…]
But it is in the nature of a new type of process that new remedies will be necessary. [More…]
We are making a fundamental change in the nature of sexual relationships in society. [More…]
In the first amendment which involves the introductory words of the clause it is intended to remove the mandatory nature of the opening words so as to allow the court a discretion in the matters which it may take into account when determining maintenance. [More…]
But during the debate on that clause a suggestion was made that if a similiar amendment were moved to clause 75 it would gain greater support, and I believe that this is a more appropriate place for the nature of the amendment I moved. [More…]
Honourable members come forward in Committee with a letter or something of that nature saying: ‘This is what someone wrote’. [More…]
Let us remember that, in the nature of things, there will be many cases where an elderly woman is deserted without just cause by a husband of similar age who is able to find a young partner, whereas the woman would have the same capacity to do so. [More…]
It is very important in this day and age that we find out the position so that not only the Australian Government but also the State governments can be well advised as to the nature of crime and the extent of crime in society. [More…]
The reason why I move this motion is that the very nature of the resolution passed by this House a few days ago, at the insistence of the Leader of the House, precludes us on this side of the chamber from canvassing any other matters whatsoever while the Family Law Bill remains unresolved. [More…]
One can see from that the phoney nature of what has been put before the Parliament this morning. [More…]
The only way we can get any assurance that we will have a debate of such a nature is if permission is given by this Parliament to have a cognate debate. [More…]
Having regard to the nature of existing divisions in Tasmania, I cannot see why it was necessary to cause confusion among the voters in that State. [More…]
The Proposals also contain several minor changes of an administrative nature which do not involve changes in rates of duty. [More…]
Surely there is no place in it for legal representatives who are concerned, in the very nature of things, with contention. [More…]
Having said that, I observe that I hope the House will never again proceed to discuss a large measure of this nature in this fashion. [More…]
That financial policy would conform more closely to the position in the private insurance companies if clause 34 were amended to ensure that the Board pursues the policy of making a profit that is comparable with sound commercial enterprises, that is, make a reasonable return to the Australian Government on all the funds employed in the operation of the business of insurance of a commercial nature. [More…]
He will not take points of order of that nature. [More…]
Honourable members will recall the recent enactment of the National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Act and the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Act. [More…]
Once the legislation is passed, the Government will be able to declare and protect zones of the Reef as national parks or nature reserves, which will then be managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service. [More…]
This is the nature of these people opposite. [More…]
Some of the people of Wimmera, which, under this proposal, becomes Mallee, would lose contact in a redistribution of the nature proposed. [More…]
Those 2 basic “principles should not bear repetition; but, from the nature of the debate, they certainly do. [More…]

The Interdepartmental Committee on International Conferences is responsible for considering all requests for assistance towards the holding of International Conferences in Australia, with the exception of meetings of an administrative nature, mainly inter-governmental, conducted in accordance with established arrangements. [More…]
What was the nature of the consideration given to any request for review. [More…]
What liaison was in existence on 24 December 1974, and what was the nature of the use made of the liaison. [More…]
The financial assistance proposed by this Bill is exceptional in nature to meet exceptional circumstances. [More…]
I must say that I could not see any work of that nature although on many roofs the iron was not trimmed off and was left overhanging. [More…]
The Government is not prepared to accept the amendment for the simple reason that what is not required, particularly in dealing with matters of this nature which require compassion, understanding and a certain amount of flexibility, is putting down in legal terms what will be the strict limitations of a person’s rights. [More…]
So before the trienniumn is over there will be further Bills of this nature to authorise additional funds to be made available to universities and colleges of advanced education with particular reference to the 1975 year, because there will be the additional costs that those bodies so funded will have to meet as a consequence of wage and salary increases and other cost rises. [More…]
In the case of non academic salaries, the index used is one based upon movements in a national index that relates to the salaries of positions of a similar type and nature in the Australian Public Service. [More…]
As mentioned in the Prime Minister’s reply on 5 December 1974 (Hansard, page 4825) publicity is given in the Public Service Board ‘s Annual Reports to the manner in which these provisions can be used by departments to secure the services of specially qualified individuals on a non-career basis, or to perform tasks of an isolated short-term nature. [More…]
I am unable, at the present time, to provide estimates of future enrolments due to the developing nature of the advanced education system. [More…]
I emphasise that I am not looking for some finalsome definitive- report, for to do so would be to misconstrue the nature of the study process which will be continuing on a permanent basis. [More…]
I was not aware that the Premier of New South Wales had delivered himself of any particular utterance of that nature. [More…]
They are to be specifically of a personal nature. [More…]

Having obtained leave from the Chair, a Member may explain matters of a personal nature, - [More…]
Every hotel lavatory, however, is equipped with an essential supply and this, despite its fragile nature, served my purpose. [More…]
But of course in a Bill of this nature, with 45 clauses, setting up an apparatus singular in Australiaindeed one that would be quite singular around the world- provision has to be made for regulations. [More…]
That just shows what a shallow, mean-minded person I was, to think the Minister and his trusted lieutenants would have left a gap of that nature in the Bill. [More…]
It contains some very rough country, some basalt country and some country which is of a more inclined nature. [More…]
Firstly, it is completely ad hoc in nature. [More…]
It is ridiculous to expect a Federal department to be able to make judgments on the priorities to be given to projects of a purely local nature. [More…]
The Commission shall, in the performance of its functions in relation to any matter, and so far as it considers appropriate having regard to the nature of the matter, consult with Departments and authorities of the States, local government authorities and community and other organisations. [More…]
The Commission shall, in the performance of its functions in relation to any matter, and so far as it considers appropriate having regard to the nature of the matter, consult with Departments and authorities of the States, local government authorities and community and other organisations. [More…]
Many of the proposals put forward in these clauses would emanate, I have no doubt, from the detailed examination made of the recommendations of the Commission by the inter-departmental working group to which the Minister referred in his second reading speech, and are generally of a non-controversial nature so far as the main thrust of the Bills is concerned. [More…]
I would urge the Government to consider the case of those who have retired and to consider more seriously than apparently it has to date whether it is equitable to include a clause of this nature in the Bill before the Parliament. [More…]
Let us look briefly at the nature of the proposed amendments and at the manner in which the Opposition wants to emasculate this scheme. [More…]
It is given in recognition of long service by people who have stayed on fairly low salaries because of lack of education qualification or for reasons of this nature. [More…]
The last part of the honourable gentleman ‘s question was, in my opinion, of that nature. [More…]
A comprehensive summary setting out the nature of the changes in the duty rates and the origin of each alteration contained in the proposals is now being circulated to honourable members. [More…]
This action is necessary because of the urgent nature of these Bills. [More…]
The truth is not that there is an urgent nature to the Bills which requires the suspension of Standing Orders. [More…]
The Minister has stated 2 premises to explain the urgent nature of the Bills. [More…]
On the last occasion when matters of this nature were debated the Opposition put up the honourable member for Bennelong (Mr Howard) to try to defend the fort. [More…]
Finally, I am extremely disappointed that my friend and former colleague, the right honourable member for Higgins (Mr Gorton), has found it in himself to support a guillotine of this nature. [More…]
I want to come back to the real nature of the problem and the realities of the situation after having been taken on a safari, as it were, by the Special Minister of State (Mr Lionel Bowen). [More…]
In addition to that, it was clearly understood that the Government, because of the nature of uranium- after all, it is a weapons source as much as being a source of energy- wanted to have some say in the sale of uranium. [More…]
I repeat my initial comments: Remarks of this kind in a debate of this nature are disgraceful. [More…]
I shall conclude with regard to this point by emphasising again the request I made earlier that, in the event of there being a substantial change in lending policies so far as the terms of loans are concerned, the Minister will make an announcement and indicate to the House and to the nation the nature of that change. [More…]
The long term nature of those programs is such that flexibility will be required in the initial stages. [More…]
In this case it is not hard to understand why the State governments have readily agreed, not only because of the persuasiveness and co-operative nature of the Minister but also because of the flow of funds to the various State governments. [More…]
This will refer not only to the Albury-Wodonga complex but also to any other projects of a similar nature throughout Australia. [More…]
The proposal that I put is that the students who wish to increase substantially the costs of running universities ought to be required to make a choice as to whether they want to see expanded building programs of the nature that we have before us or alternatively whether they want to accept some respite for the moment in advancing of separate expenditure programs in terms of increased allowances which I consider to be of an exceptionally high character. [More…]
If the Minister for Labor and Immigration (Mr Clyde Cameron) responds to the gentle stimulus which we have provided by earlier amendments and by this amendment and brings in legislation of a permanent nature before 1 July 1976 then of course this legislation would cease to have effect as from that date. [More…]
Not only does this provision recognise that there were many difficulties inherent in determining the keel laying date under a contract and sticking to the schedule involved, but it also recognises the essentially irrelevant nature of the keel laying for the purpose of determining the bounty. [More…]
I am sure he is aware of a substantial body of economic thought- I might add, with which I agree- that payroll tax by its very nature adds to the inflationary spiral all the way along the line. [More…]
(2b) Where, in relation to a proposal to which subsection (2a) is applicable, being a proposal for the collection of information relating to businesses, the Minister considers it necessary to commence implementation of the proposal at a time when it is not practicable to comply with sub-section (2a) he may authorize the implementation of the proposal without compliance with that subsection but in such a case particulars of the nature of the information to which the authorization relates shall be laid before each House of the Parliament within 5 sitting days of that House after the giving of the authorization. [More…]
It is my intention, in speaking briefly to this amendment, to congratulate the Government on going as far as it could possibly go in relation to the nature of surveys conducted by the Statistician. [More…]
I think that the Government, in giving instructions to its own survey collectors, will have to advise them to utilise whatever tact is appropriate, but under no circumstances to allow objections, whether they be valid objections or contrived objections, to destroy the nature of the survey. [More…]
As occurs in so many matters of this nature where there are genuinely held views across a spectrum, a consensus has to be achieved, and the Opposition’s view is that the correct way of approaching it is to put emphasis on conciliation and education, to decriminalise the procedures originally proposed. [More…]
The problems of racial discrimination and racial tensions in the United Kingdom are vastly different from problems of the same nature in Australia. [More…]
He must be very dry after a speech of that nature. [More…]
One of the main reasons for lack of confidence in the Australian shipbuilding market is the nature of the ships which have been constructed in Australia since 1947, when financial assistance was first granted to the industry. [More…]
The nature of the shipping industry and the risks involved are such that capital will be attracted into the industry only if imaginative and flexible credit and depreciation measures are made available. [More…]
One instance that can be given is this: If jurisdiction under chapter III were given to a person of the nature of a magistrate and it happened to be the judicial power of the Commonwealth, that jurisdiction would have to be given to a magistrate who was appointed for life. [More…]

[More…]
However, this kind of thing appears to be infrequent, and the main reason for the observation is that companies are aware of the nature of the existing legislation and the Government’s stated intention to close the loopholes. [More…]

The background to it is that during the last financial year the previous Minister for Environment made offers under the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Act to reimburse the States for the purchase of various tracts of land valued in all at about $9m. [More…]

Unless a government has a majority in the Senate to vote in favour of any Bill or motion the Senate can frustrate the Government which, in the nature of things, has to have a majority in the House of Representatives. [More…]
Partly because of the nature of this threat, partly because of the nature of this Prime Minister, we, with completely unanimous support, made a reasonable and responsible proposal on Monday which would have enabled the people of Australia to vote. [More…]
2747 on 19 August 197S, has there been an amendment to the Citizenship Act so that Foreign Affairs officers who are not Australian citizens are not precluded, by virtue of the nature of their duties, from becoming Australian citizens. [More…]
But to get back to the thing that is really niggling the Opposition at the moment: In the last couple of weeks the mood in the community has changed, if the newspapers- not just the ABC- are any reflection, if one leaves aside the schizophrenic nature of the newspapers, where the editorials are taking a line at variance with the news reports and the general commentary. [More…]
A small number of amendments of an editorial nature have been made in the report now being tabled. [More…]
The purpose and value of parliamentary trips of this nature will always be the subject of discussion and the trips will not be undertaken without attracting varying amounts of criticism. [More…]
I believe that visits of parliamentary delegations of this nature tend to break down the tension between Government and Opposition members. [More…]
But we also believe that much value has been obtained from the distinctive nature of the 2 commissions which this Bill amalgamates. [More…]
Quite often, the pitfall in legislation of this nature, which seeks to rationalise the work of two or more bodies engaged in specific tasks of a similar nature, is that certain elements tend to be shut out, to lose their identity, in the overall plan of co-ordination. [More…]
All the implications of the decision cannot be assessed until the nature and structure of the new body are known and it appears that that will not be for some months yet. [More…]
It is obvious that it is another decision that has been taken by the Prime Minister without prior notice or consultation and that it is another example of the dictatorial nature of the Prime Minister causing harm, mainly through economic mismanagement, not only to the employment of Australian people and of businesses throughout Australia but also to our educational institutions. [More…]
We can also see from the quotations that the panel expects that the Commission, the councils and their staffs will undertake ‘more comprehensive co-ordinating and management responsibilities If they persist with management responsibilities I suggest that in the very nature of things they will start to conform to one pattern and we will start to get a blurring of the difference between universities and colleges of advanced education. [More…]
The real nature of this will be determined by decisions not made by us. [More…]
It sets up no procedures even of a minimal nature to enable a particular Aboriginal clan to go before a council and assert a right to be heard. [More…]
I think that the Parliament will be advantaged and the people of Yirrkala and elsewhere will be advantaged if we pass this legislation and allow, as one might say, nature to take its course in the deliberations between human beings on this matter. [More…]
If we talk about tradition, we realise that this is the nature of the thing. [More…]
The South Australian Government has sought assistance from the Australian Government under the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Act 1974 to enable it to acquire land on Coffin Bay Peninsula to establish a national park. [More…]
Because of the delicate nature of land negotiations it is not possible to provide further details at this stage. [More…]
The Prime Minister does not understand the nature of Australian society. [More…]
I am of the belief- I am probably of a generous nature- that both of these men acted as dedicated Labor members believing that they were following through Australian Labor Party policy and that when the heat on the Prime Minister got too hot he dumped them; he cut them short. [More…]
Because of the federal nature of our Constitution and because of its provisions the Senate undoubtedly has constitutional power to refuse or defer Supply to the Government. [More…]
What is the general nature of the publications? [More…]
What is the general nature of the publications. [More…]
How many officers in the Sub-section have retired or transferred for reasons of ill health, and what has been the nature of the illness. [More…]
The Government is conscious of the need to protect and improve the nature of the environment. [More…]
We have heard a great deal from the honourable member for Port Adelaide (Mr Young) about the deceit and the lies and things of this nature which allegedly have been forthcoming from this Government since its assumption of office last December. [More…]
These were all items which had been built up and which had been provided for specific purposes over the years to encourage agriculture and to provide for the unpredictability of the weather, the markets and things of this nature. [More…]
Reports have been filtering through in recent times about the further computerisation of telephone services in the cities, the introduction of push button telephones, of telephone services that will tell the caller when a number is engaged and will ring him back when the number is not engaged so that he may make his call, and things of that nature. [More…]
The nature of the program was fully set out in that Speech but I want to comment on particular parts of it. [More…]
-The Government has received many suggestions along the lines of that put forward by the honourable member, that is, that those in receipt of unemployment benefit work out the value of their benefit at award rates on local projects or things of that nature. [More…]
The other provisions in the Bill are of a minor nature, mainly concerned with the deletion of provisions covering flights to and from Papua New Guinea. [More…]
I believe that in looking at an organisation like the Australian Broadcasting Commission, if it is possible for certain types of programs to have advertisements without interfering with the nature of the program, one could well find that this is a means of gaining for that organisation additional revenue that does not come from the public. [More…]
I make the point that the document which I have read out in the House makes allegations of such a serious nature- they may or may not be true- that I believe the Government cannot do other than immediately institute a full inquiry into the matter to ascertain whether the allegations are correct or incorrect. [More…]
These days an adobe house is not just a mud hut with some poor broken down Indian living in it, or something of this nature; it has an aesthetic and climatic value, but above all it is economical because the materials are on the spot. [More…]
The points he made were very simply these: If you do not exclude increases in government charges from indexation, you effectively deprive the Government of the opportunity of increasing taxes of this nature except against those areas of society where indexation does not apply. [More…]
I might say that he tested somewhat the normal courtesy of no interjections by the nature of his speech, but I shall pass over that in the hope that he will gain knowledge during the very short time he is expected to be in this House. [More…]
However, I ask that Cabinet further consider the proposition that the first $1,000 worth of items of a capital nature purchased under this investment allowance provision should attract some consideration. [More…]
However, there are many small businessmen who would want to purchase for their businesses items of a capital nature worth $1,000 or a little more. [More…]
I ask the members of Cabinet to have a look at this suggestion because I believe it will stimulate the economy as well as encouraging bigger purchases of a capital nature. [More…]
Then, of course, there are the theoretical aberrations which honourable members opposite call economic policy, such as the influence and nature of the deficit. [More…]
The position now exists whereby a Governor-General, if he disagreed with the actions of a Prime Minister, whether they were economic or of another nature could dismiss that Prime Minister. [More…]
An appeal tribunal of the nature that I propose could invite and encourage people other than those who fear the law to come forward. [More…]
The manner in which the dissolution of the last Parliament was brought about, the promises and policies put to the people, and the subsequent evidence of the true nature of this Government are all related issues, all linked, all part of the one great issue- the quality of our political life, the future strength and survival of our political institutions, the nature of our Australian democracy. [More…]
To hold a seat in Parliament is a great honour, no matter what the nature of cynicism in the country may be. [More…]
This unfortunate wording in the conditions of service of the Director-General appointed in 1970 were used by former Senator Murphy as the authority for his most regrettable raid on ASIO and other activities of a similar nature by the former Labor Government. [More…]
This happens in all such nations and because of their nature they attain that position. [More…]
It comes down to a different view of the nature of man in our society, and of the nature of the household in our society. [More…]
Another of the categories for this spending is the tragically unfair nature of them. [More…]
This Bill, complementary to the Wheat Industry Stabilisation Amendment Bill 1976, is a minor measure of a machinery nature to expand the definition of ‘wheat products’ as presently contained in the Wheat Industry Stabilisation Act 1974 and to transplant the definition to the Wheat Export Charge Act. [More…]
No information was given to the Premiers Conference on the nature of this consultation. [More…]
It must be very distasteful for him to have to cover up and try to manipulate and mislead people as to what is the real nature of this Government. [More…]
He succeeded before, of course, in creating a diversion, but I do not think he will on this occasion because I think more and more, from day to day, people are becoming aware of the real nature and the real philosophy of this Government. [More…]
I know that you with your great sense of humility and your great appreciation of human nature will continue the wonderful tradition of service that you have given to the Parliament. [More…]
The legislation was extended by the former Labor Government to include servicemen who did not serve overseas in a war zone in order to compensate them for the itinerant nature of their occupations and as part of the policy for a volunteer army. [More…]
But I believe that we have to consider very carefully the nature of any charges that are imposed on this industry. [More…]
All I can say is that he will have adequate time when proposals of this nature come forward to make further representations to me and to strengthen his position with me if we get to a point of redevelopment. [More…]
But statements still tend to be completely overdrawn about the nature of the guarantee that we have from the United States when all that we have is an undertaking to consult the constitutional processes. [More…]
From this reality spring all the other factors which we must recognise and contend with the illusory nature of Soviet- American detente; the expanding Russian influence in South East Asia; the turmoil of the Middle East; the recent Soviet-backed Cuban military activity in Angola which threatens to move to other areas of Africa; and, of extreme relevance to the context of my speech, the increasing Soviet naval activity in the Indian Ocean. [More…]
The challenge for our people, whether rural or urban, will be to accept responsible decision-making with the long term intent, not just of a short term nature that might be politically palatable. [More…]
Those who I suppose by their very nature should be regarded as people who would preserve the traditions, who would maintain the status quo, who would hot move for any change, are those who have become the iconoclasts on this occasion. [More…]
It is, however, small business which contributes in a very real way to the nature of the community by providing the employment for the local area and by providing support and help for local charity, sporting and community groups. [More…]
An electorate such as Bowman, because of its nature, has more than its fair share of social problems too. [More…]
I have the greatest respect for programs made by ABC radio and television, but the whole nature of the Commission should be examined before wholesale sackings of ABC staff are made, especially in the production departments. [More…]
It was the nature of those inconsistencies, coupled with allegations that a loan had been offered or, rather, a loan had been accepted, that led to the instigation of the actual inquiry. [More…]
This would allow at best in New South Wales 5 new services of a capital nature. [More…]
Surely, irrespective of politics, Government supporters can see that cutbacks of this nature mean permanent serious damage to the child care program for which there is a very fundamental need. [More…]
To bring into the House a matter of this nature at this time shows the ineptitude and the stupidity of an Opposition that is tearing itself inside out. [More…]
The rate of inflation is so high that community groups, which necessarily invest their raised funds in savings bank accounts and investments of that nature, quickly find that the resources they have raised decline in value so rapidly that they get further and further behind rather than bringing the project to fruition out of their own efforts. [More…]
I hope that that increase can be fitted into the other obligations of the Government because when these Loan Bills are looked at, and when the method of financing the deficit is looked at, it can sometimes be forgotten that the deficit in itself is not of its nature an evil so far as economic effects are concerned. [More…]
In the one sentence it is said that that under-employment and that under-utilisation of economy have been such as to warrant a deficit of that nature. [More…]
There is very little of a practical nature in that. [More…]
At this stage, discussions are underway with the States both with respect to the nature and the character of the loans. [More…]
Notice the incestuous nature of these investigations. [More…]
He asserts that the Government has refused to disclose the nature of the inquiries being undertaken by the Commonwealth Police; that the Government has refused to disclose with what authority those inquiries are being undertaken; and that the Government has refused to disclose on what advice those inquiries were initiated. [More…]
The man who was Minister for Minerals and Energy in this Parliament has never explained to the Parliament the whole of the nature of his involvement in those overseas loan transactions. [More…]
Of course this matter is of a serious nature. [More…]
Secondly, this episode is significant because it casts doubt on the implementation and nature of detente, a word which I note President Ford has said he will no longer use in speaking of relations between the super powers. [More…]
It is not my nature to pick a fight with anyone, but I feel compelled to take issue with my jovial little colleague, the honourable member for Mackellar (Mr Wentworth), wherever he might be. [More…]
I make one other proposition to him, and that concerns the nature of the Tribunal’s deliberations. [More…]
I shall mention the nature of these problems a little later. [More…]
The nature and stage of the city’s development is such that it is not too late for us to learn from the problems and mistakes which have been encountered in the development of some of the larger cities in the eastern States. [More…]
I urge caution, in both the nature and the scale of the city’s future development, and I hope, as the representative of Perth in this Parliament, to do whatever I can, no matter how limited my official role in such matters might be, to ensure that the future development of the city will be responsibly carried out. [More…]
I understand that it is customary to make mention of one’s predecessors in a speech of this nature. [More…]
I recently lodged with the Consul at the Russian Embassy a petition containing 2500 signatures protesting at the harsh treatment meted out to Soviet Jewry, decrying the discrimination against them and highlighting the consistent refusal of the Russian authorities to grant exit visas to them. [More…]
I was informed by the Russian Consul that there were 2.4 million Jews in the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics of which only 2 per cent were being detained, the reason stated being that these people were in possession of secrets of a military or state nature. [More…]
For instance, increased retention allowance is proposed to be allowed but only for such things as an expansion of a capital nature. [More…]
I would hope that when the commission of inquiry looks at this aspect it will look further than leaving retentions only for an expansion of a capital nature. [More…]
If, however, from the slender nature of the evidence, the unworthiness of the witness or the conclusive proof of evidence produced on the part of the accused they feel that the case is not sustained and that if they sent it for trial he must be acquitted they should discharge the accused. [More…]
Contentious matters or matters of a political nature obviously should go to the full House. [More…]
The first, in 1973, Road Safety, a National Authority, The Constitutional Position, Statistical Needs, highlighted the national nature of many aspects of road safety. [More…]
There has tended to be a great imbalance in the nature of the relationship between Australia and Japan. [More…]
We have a complementary nature that the 2 countries share by sheer circumstance. [More…]
This complementary nature will work eventually, and has worked, to the benefit of both. [More…]
It would seem to me, after having discussions with the Japanese, that the important thing to do when doing business is to understand what a contract is about, to understand something of the culture and the nature of the Japanese people. [More…]
The people who come into the country- the people who embark on a tourist safari of this nature- are usually people who are concerned with talking about their trips, not only with coming over for the ordinary pleasures which I suppose are in evidence here and in some respects to an even greater extent in Japan. [More…]
I consider it perfectly proper that the Government should involve itself in undertakings of this nature. [More…]
No information was given to the Premiers Conference on the nature of this consultation. [More…]
I simply say that the Commonwealth Budget, by reason of its nature, has allowed surpluses to be accumulated and transferred to the States, making the States debtors for the amounts that they have been given in the past. [More…]
In point of fact our net overseas indebtedness in total has probably diminished, partly by reason of the Sinking Fund operations and partly by reason of certain private transactions which are not fully documented but the nature of which we know something about. [More…]
There can be a lot of argument about what the Government collects and how it is distributed, but to think that you solve the problem by formulas like the one now proposed by taking a $1 billion debt out of nearly $12 billion as though you have made some great contribution to the problem, shows the essential short-sighted nature of the problem. [More…]
I am sure that the very wide experience of the right honourable member for Bruce (Mr Snedden) and his good humoured nature will ensure that he discharges his duties as Speaker of this House in a very creditable way and in a way that will reflect great credit not only upon himself but also upon the House of Representatives. [More…]
In the period since it was decided that Geelong would become an area for the promotion of growth based on the need to slow down the concentration of population in one urban area in the State- a proposition which was agreed to both by the State and the Commonwealth governments and which could not have been arrived at without the decision of the State Governmentthere have been some delays, I think unfortunate delays, while the nature of the Geelong Regional [More…]
It seems to me to be axiomatic that when we are considering a program such as the one put forward by the honourable member, involving the expenditure of a great amount of money obtained both from the taxpayer and also from investment by private industry, we should consider the likely results of the anticipated population growth both in extent and nature. [More…]
In any long term development of this nature, dependent as it is upon certain assumptions of the size, nature, composition of the Australian population in the medium and long term, obviously we must take into consideration the results of detailed investigation, as presented in the Borrie Committee report. [More…]
1 suggest that in considering committees of this nature we must attend to several matters if the committees are to work effectively. [More…]
One matter that concerns me is how Parliament should follow up reports of this nature. [More…]
The honourable member for Melbourne (Mr Innes) has outlined broadly the co-operative nature of this Committee in the past. [More…]
Members of the community- special interest groups, educators and medical people- right throughout the country have a vital concern in the nature of the work being undertaken by the Committee. [More…]
It has looked at the difficulties of remedial teachers, the effectiveness of their programs and whether they are starting to understand the complicated nature of a learning difficulty. [More…]
The Parliament may not even know at this point the extent to which the Parliament and the people are in debt to these devoted people because Aboriginal affairs are of such a nature that whereas we live with them lightly and easily, the eyes of the world descend on us very heavily and it is an area about which we still have extreme vulnerability. [More…]
That was the nature of his comments. [More…]
This is a matter with which every member of this Parliament ought to be concerned because the work output and the value of the work output, not only of the members but also of the people who work in the building and are more disadvantaged than the members because they have to work here all the time, must be affected by the unsatisfactory nature of the building. [More…]
They are housed in accommodation which is of such a nature that anyone who wanted to make any alterations would have to get out the business directory of Australia, go through it from A to Z and get approval from everyone on the list. [More…]
I am further informed that the provision of these facilities to banks and money market dealers stems from their special positions in the economy including the very detailed legislative or other close supervisions under which they operate and the special nature of their activities. [More…]
It may be that the motion to suspend the Standing Orders will not be carried, but at least I put this to the Attorney and I think that professionally he would see the justice of it: Will he table the notarised documents to which he has referred so that honourable members can ascertain the name of the person who swore this false declaration and so that they can see the nature of the allegations that were made? [More…]
But the fact is that far more substantive charges or charges of a different nature could be made against a member. [More…]
It is quite possible that charges of a personal nature could be made. [More…]
Given that the scheme’s objective is to overcome structural imbalances in the labour force, it is far more appropriate to set the allowances on criteria that reflect the labour market nature of the program rather than on an irrelevant welfare concept. [More…]
I have often heard stories of his forgiving nature. [More…]
I would give them a lecture as befits a man of my modest nature. [More…]
I guess they did and with his typical generosity and benign nature he would say: ‘Yes, certainly’. [More…]
This was probably his greatest mistake of all and it was conceived, as I said, in generosity, with typical generosity that one would expect from a man of such a benign and forgiving nature. [More…]
The complex nature of the present superannuation arrangements has caused many administrative problems and in February, when contributions to the pension scheme and Provident Account were frozen pending the introduction of the new scheme, the work of the Australian Government Retirement Benefits Office was very much in arrears. [More…]
His statement is dominated by presumptions of a largely ideological nature. [More…]
The totally arbitrary nature of this Government’s approach to cutting back public expenditure should be condemned even by those who misguidedly feel that this is the time for restraint and cut-backs. [More…]
In conclusion I state that the Treasurer has throughout his statement stressed the central nature of the problem of inflation, but the statement contains no strategy to defeat it. [More…]
Naturally, no institutional lenders will come to the aid of these canneries because of the intrinsic nature of the problems afflicting this industry. [More…]
They- perhaps I should say we- are only different because they can be directly affected by a bounty or by the cruelty and savagery of nature. [More…]
The Opposition does not query either measure as both are of a machinery nature. [More…]
It should be clear to members of this House and the Australian public that the fears expressed regarding possible threats to the autonomous nature of the operations of the ABC are without foundation. [More…]
Firstly, it highlights some of the gross omissions in the GovernorGeneral’s Speech and therefore the terribly elitist nature of this Government and its program. [More…]
The fact that the Speech by the GovernorGeneral was a vague exercise in the juxtaposition of cliches and generous but hollow sentiments is an indication of this Government’s deception and arrogance, but when one looks at what is not mentioned the really repellent nature of the document becomes clear. [More…]
I hope that nothing of the nature of what I think one day could happen does happen. [More…]
I was saying that it is not good enough for the Government to ignore the problems of the world in this forum, this Parliament, and perhaps put too much emphasis on what might be given by way of grants to some institution or something of that nature. [More…]
It is a perversion of the very nature of representative democracy that the elected representatives of the people can be hamstrung in their task of government by just those men that the people have rejected as potential administrators of the nation ‘s affairs. [More…]
In the short run a mechanism may appear to direct resources to those in need but in the long run the nature of the tests applied may be such that they create the very needs that they have sought to relieve, and create them on an even larger scale than they existed before. [More…]
Under this legislation, the socialist Labor Government would have been free to dictate the nature and the content of all television and radio material. [More…]
I apologise if the dates and the nature of my recollection were not as forthcoming as they ought to have been. [More…]
Let me give a few small examples of the sorts of gaps that have been filled by various institutions of this nature. [More…]
I recall that some years ago it was a fairly standard joke to talk in the American context about a Ph.D. who had been to one of the second rate institutions in America and had taken out his Ph.D. after 18 months of part-time study, or something of that nature. [More…]
The variety of points that were covered by him and what he had to say were all of a most constructive nature and are points which I am sure will be read with interest by the Minister for Education (Senator Carrick). [More…]
‘Some plants had built-in reluctance to improve or make changes because of the seasonal nature of the work. [More…]
These amendments are of a technical nature and are more suitable to be dealt with in the Committee stage of the Bill than at the second reading stage. [More…]
For these matters, the Industrial Court is to be given the power to make declaratory judgments and to issue prerogative writs in the nature of prohibition, certiorari or mandamus. [More…]
Finally, the Bill makes certain other amendments to the Trade Practices Act, of a technical or consequential nature. [More…]
Honourable members will recall that at the time the proposals were introduced into the House I circulated a comprehensive summary in respect of each proposal which set out the nature of the changes in duty rates and the origin of each change. [More…]
Since the generalised nature of the bounty obscures the pattern of recipients it will also tend to obscure the legitimate claims of many farm sectors for immediate and effective assistance. [More…]
It is in the nature of primary production that at some seasons there is scarcely enough production, animals or crops to meet the local demand and at other seasons there is much more than local demand can ever absorb. [More…]
Since the generalised nature of the bounty obscures the pattern of recipients it will also tend to obscure the legitimate claims of many farm sectors for immediate and effective assistance. [More…]
This Opposition which talks about priorities, subsidies and things of this nature, when in government, introduced arrangements under which there is a $4,000 subsidy for every man and woman working in the motor vehicle industry in Australia. [More…]
It is only in this time that the nature of our society has changed. [More…]
These measures are of an interim nature. [More…]
In this statement I shall therefore spell out more specifically the Government’s view of recent and prospective developments in financial markets and explain more fully the nature of our monetary policies. [More…]
I believe that it should be mentioned because the provisions of these Bills are more or less of a temporary nature pending a further analysis and examination of the Industries Assistance Commission report on both these matters. [More…]
It is inevitable that in a debate of this nature a certain amount of emotion will be generated. [More…]
All the goods were of a humanitarian nature. [More…]
The nature and value of assistance, other than cash, supplied to date by other countries is as follows: [More…]
If private enterprise is doing this basic work where no real strategic material of a harmful nature is involved, I fail to see why the Government should be involved. [More…]
I was fascinated by the immediate response from the Tasmanian Government and many people in Tasmania- comments that it ought to be shelved or thrown into the waste paper basket and remarks of that nature. [More…]
The volume and nature of investment in both the public sector and private enterprise are linked with the expected demand for the services of goods to be provided through such investment and the volume and composition of such demand are dependent on the size and composition of the future population. [More…]
Clearly that ought to be evidence to any thinking observer that these are the people who are the hard core unemployed in the community, and that is evidence of the deep-seated nature of the unemployment which exists in the community at the present time. [More…]
It is nonsense to talk about people registering as brain surgeons or lion tamers and seeking unemployment benefit, believing that they will not or cannot be directed to jobs of that nature because in the former case they are not qualified or in the latter case there are no vacancies. [More…]
A claimant for unemployment benefit will be regarded as having refused or failed without good and sufficient reason to accept an offer of employment if he is unwilling to accept and perform work offered to him which having regard to his abilities and qualifications is considered to be suitable in its nature, conditions and location to be undertaken by him. [More…]
Work of a type or nature in which the person usually engages and in which the person’s experience, qualifications and training would be used. [More…]
I believe that it is another indication of the unsatisfactory nature of the criteria in social service arrangements in this country. [More…]
The assistance arrangements we have decided upon following our review are designed to achieve an appropriate balance between the competing objectives of maintaining a viable industry producing at high levels of local content and ensuring consumers access to reliable, economical and reasonably priced vehicles.However, if a viable motor vehicle industry is to continue in Australia considerable changes will be needed in the industry’s structure and the nature of manufacturing operations in Australia. [More…]
Even more, it was in his character and part of his nature to believe that the problems of people- his people- were his own. [More…]
The RAGS Act in South Australia does not comment on the honourable member for Hindmarsh (Mr Clyde Cameron) or anything of that nature; virtually all it does is allow the Department of Agriculture to take hold of a proposition put to it by a candidate. [More…]
It may well be that if powers of that nature are passed on to the States they would be encouraged also to operate along lines similar to those adopted by the Playford Government in South Australia in its time. [More…]
Such is the nature of the penalty, the fine if you like, which social security beneficiaries have to pay because of the curious philosophy of the Prime Minister when he” says that he wants less dependency on government services, he wants a situation which will allow people to retain more of their income so that they can provide more for themselves. [More…]
That definition is in line with contemporary thinking on the nature and concept of poverty. [More…]
This involves value judgments as to both the nature of the pension and its level of remuneration. [More…]
Even the nature of the pension itself should be considered periodically and outside the constraints of contemporary or conventional welfare thinking. [More…]
I am not going to run away from the real issue because bottoms on seats is the real issue when it comes to deciding to construct a building of this nature. [More…]
A document relating to public affairs quoted from by a Minister or an Assistant Minister, unless stated to be of a confidential nature . [More…]
I believe we should upgrade the special nature of the woman as wife and mother within the home, encourage more women to take up that role and restore its pride, and remove from our society any pressures that might militate against any woman choosing that role if she wishes. [More…]
However, apart from the ludicrous nature of the game the Minister is playing, what really concerns me is the fact that this prejudice against alleged dole bludgers ignores the real tragedy of people out of work. [More…]
The nature of the apple and pear export trade, which involves long distance transportation of a bulky commodity, sold largely on a speculative basis in Europe and North American markets, is such that the transportation and marketing costs have severely eroded the profitability of much of the export trade. [More…]
Again one has to repeat one observation, without any questions about the quality of the contribution of the honourable member for Gellibrand, that it is extraordinary that the shadow Treasurer has not taken a major part in this debate as either the lead speaker or one of the early speakers, because it is a matter with great ramifications of a Treasury nature. [More…]
There is no doubt that there is a need for reviews of this nature to be done from time to time within the Public Service and that there is a need for the Parliament to give serious consideration to the results of those reviews. [More…]
Going back in time, it is true to say that for a long while the members of the Public Service were the poor relation of other sections of industry and of other sections of the community in that their levels of salary and things of that nature were not necessarily commensurate with those applying outside the Public Service. [More…]
In view of the current depressed nature of private capital expenditure in Australia, foreign investment will play a positive role in assisting overall economic recovery. [More…]
The provision to extend membership to part time employees as and when appropriate is also a sensible and enlightened development which recognises the changing nature of employment and the composition of the work force in today’s society. [More…]
When we consider issues of this nature in this place it is fair enough to take the national content. [More…]
People who have been wounded in action, or knocked about in accidents during the war or something of that nature- made slightly less efficient physically over a lifetime- cannot be recompensed adequately. [More…]
Will they be refused because of the strait-jacket nature of the criteria which the Government is using at present and which do not meet the problem and the examples which I have put to the Minister? [More…]
I am aware of a newspaper report of the nature mentioned by the honourable member. [More…]
This is consistent with the contributory nature of the scheme and the principle adopted in relation to many other kinds of service in respect of which contributions are not held in the Superannuation Fund. [More…]
However, if a viable motor industry is to continue in Australia considerable changes will be needed in the industry’s structure and the nature of manufacturing operations in Australia. [More…]
That a joint parliamentary committee be established to inquire into and report upon the provision of proportionate subsidies by the Australian government to political parties and candidates in federal election campaigns and the disclosure of the amount and nature of assistance by corporations and individuals to these parties and candidates. [More…]
While there is a case in some areas where the character of the store or the nature of the handling involves a great deal of manpower input as distinct from mechanical input, which might be slightly different from the position at Yennora, there is certainly an overall case to suggest an increase in bale weights rather than a reduction. [More…]
Of course, any considerations of a tariff nature, as the honourable member well knows, will be given in a Budget context. [More…]
Regarding the international aspect of the question, Kalgoorlie is being considered as an alternative for Perth in case of Perth airport being fogged out on some occasion or being closed because of some other difficulty of that nature. [More…]
Before 1970 we never had a Bureau of Transport Economics to study works of this nature. [More…]
Last year whilst I was Speaker of this House I wrote to both the Opposition Parties and the then Government Party because like the present Speaker I was dissatisfied with the manner in which the adjournment debate operated and also the restricted nature of only 3 speakers being able to speak for 10 minutes each on the adjournment debate and I asked whether they would agree to accept as a sessional order a 5- minute speaking period on the adjournment debate. [More…]
I think a 5-minute speaking period on the adjournment debate will in some instances be a little severe on members who wish to raise something of great importance rather than matters which are perhaps of a domestic nature. [More…]
This statement is based on an assessment of the physical problems of housing, involving, firstly, an investigation of the size and nature of the need, judged in terms of the aspirations of all Australian people, after considering demographic factors, and then an assessment of the physical resources available to meet that need, such as materials, manpower, land, technology and organisation. [More…]
The only form of grant of this nature which could conceivably be of social benefit would be one which assisted into the homeownership class that hypothetical marginal group to whom we have referred. [More…]
It is significant to note that a report from the Schools Commission recommended the allocation of an amount of this nature. [More…]
Claims of this nature are of course not new. [More…]
This is of critical importance as you would know, Sir, because it is destructive of parliamentary government unless we observe this rule- or documents of a private nature passing between officers of a department and the department, cited in debate, are not necessarily laid on the table . [More…]
We should look at the lessons to be learnt from the political mistakes made in the United States in the Watergate affair, which always comes up in debates of this nature. [More…]
To come back to the Leader of the Opposition, I say this: Such is the nature of his hide that if one were to soak him in neatsfoot oil for a month he still would not be soft. [More…]
I ask the honourable member for Port Adelaide to consider the consequences of introducing legislation of this nature. [More…]
The initial work of the expenditure committee will necessarily be of an exploratory nature. [More…]
will examine in depth and the nature of its reports to the House, subject to the power of the House to direct its attention to particular matters. [More…]
I suggest that it would only have been a matter of time, had we allowed him to go on longer, before he would have come up with a standard urban nature strip and, if we had given him enough time, probably a standard urban garbage can into which we could have put all his proposals. [More…]
Only 195 kilometres of the 832 kilometres is divided road, which is considered essential for a highway of this nature. [More…]
For instance, one of the major characteristics of Australia in terms of immigration is its highly industrialised nature and the roles that immigrants are expected to play within the work force. [More…]
The result of this immigration policy, sustained and continued by the Liberal and National Country Parties for something like 20 years, of the distribution of ethnic groups is very much now mirrored in terms of their distribution within occupations and the class nature of Australia. [More…]
That has to be balanced against the cost of new capital equipment which will so alter the nature of the system of work as to improve the quality of working life and make it more comparable than it now is to the quality of life outside the work place. [More…]
To use the word ‘veto’ in respect of the exercise of the discretion which is available under that Section of the Act is both to misunderstand the nature of the discretion that is available and also to misstate the circumstances in which the veto might be exercised. [More…]
I have taken the view, on previous occasions when matters of this nature have been raised, that it is inappropriate to canvass the particulars of individual cases which might be presented to me for consent. [More…]
International comparisons show the misleading nature of what the honourable gentleman has been referring to. [More…]
I bring these points before the House not as mere elements of debate but rather as a reminder that the topic of foreign investment is complex and the nature of various types of foreign capital is but one of these complexities. [More…]
Hot money is essentially of a non-equity nature. [More…]
I believe in the proprietary of certain investment prerogativesinvestments that suit the Australian interest taking into account the nature of the trade between Australia and the country of origin of the investment. [More…]
Anyone who studied the record would have nothing to do with trying to socialise and hand over to socialist control a mining enterprise of that nature. [More…]
I believe that the requirement of the Australian Labor Party Government of 100 per cent equity in the development of uranium is a reasonable one, given the crucial nature of uranium as an ingredient in the development of probably the most devastating weapon of destruction that the world has ever known and conceivably will ever know. [More…]
It will look at inter-company pricing and profit arrangements, royalty and licensing arrangements, availability of technology, patents, etc, export franchise arrangements and the extent and nature of parent control of Australian operations. [More…]
-Much has been said in this debate which shows the broad and complex nature of the foreign investment policy. [More…]
The honourable member for Kingsford-Smith (Mr Lionel Bowen) already has described amply the nature of the reform. [More…]
Questions of that nature are constantly before us. [More…]
While it would not be appropriate for me now in introducing a Bill of this nature to dilate on those differences, I observe that these differences exist and as a consequence of them there is a different method of updating the 2 pensions. [More…]
What was the place and nature of the GovernorGeneral’s official engagements on 24, 28 and 29 December 1975; 2, 14, 16, 23 to 29 January and 2 February 1976 (Hansard, 23 March 1976, page 927). [More…]
If so, what has been the nature of the representations, and what action has resulted from them. [More…]
The investigations have reached a promising stage where a bacterial infection of the seed can definitely be identified as the source of the toxin, and new information on the nature of the toxin is coming to light. [More…]
The exact nature and timing of this restructuring is essentially a matter of commercial judgment by the companies concerned. [More…]
These investigations include a river transport study to assess the type and nature of the vessels which may need to go under the bridge, a development impact study to assess the effects of a second bridge on land use and development in the greater Hobart region, a traffic impact study and an environmental impact statement. [More…]
Perhaps the time taken for him to reach the allegation made indicates more his lack of capacity to perceive the nature of my answer than his ability to engage in allegations of evasion. [More…]
The important thing is that the company has assured me that in no way will it agree to any increase in wages outside the indexation guidelines or enter into any agreement of a sweetheart nature or which would involve a pace-setting principle. [More…]
lm is required for the Department of Defence- $43.9m for salaries and payments in the nature of salary, which is part of the amount of $88.9m for salary increases which I have already mentioned, $ 12.6m for administrative expenses, $20.2m for equipment and stores including their repair and overhaul, and $8.3m for other Defence services. [More…]
The nature of the discretions available to the Minister administering the Trade Practices Act also emphasises the desirability of the Act being administered by a Minister in one of the great departments of state with a strong tradition of independence, such as the Attorney-General. [More…]
I personally think that matters of that nature need to be taken into account as well as some of the competitive tests in some other sections of the Act. [More…]
I agree with the honourable member for Grayndler that it is not an enormously farreaching provision because of the nature of the interpretation that the courts have placed on it which is in part due to the constitutional limitations on the judicial power. [More…]
The very nature of the philosophy that comes through in Industries Assistance Commission reports is that industry has to be economic and efficient in this country. [More…]
To get together in the terms of the Industries Assistance Commission philosophy and the old Tariff Board philosophy is by its very nature likely to cause businessmen to worry about whether or not they are going to be guilty of an offence under section 45- the restraint of trade section. [More…]
I accept that in the context of debate on legislation of this nature and because it involves a consideration of business and consumer interests it is natural that the Opposition will take the opportunity to make a few political points about alleged conflicts that exist between the consumer interest and business interest aspects of my portfolio. [More…]
I assume that he encompassed them under amendments ‘of a technical or consequential nature’ about which he ‘need not take up the time of the House’. [More…]
Some of the arguments- dismissed by Attorney-General Bowen as only of academic interest eight years ago- are based on a misunderstanding of the nature of the United States federal courts system. [More…]
I can assure honourable members opposite that they are of an entirely technical nature and are intended merely to improve the clarity of expression in clause 6 of the principal Act. [More…]
It is important when dealing with legislation of this nature to deal with it on an impartial basis. [More…]
The terms of reference of the proposed committee have considerable weaknesses for a parliamentary committee of this nature. [More…]
If a committee of this nature is to give the imprimatur of this House to inquire into expenditures of governments which this House approves, that committee must be serviced in a manner which will justify its having the imprimatur of this House. [More…]
House with high-minded ideals if one is not prepared to put up the wherewithal for those ideals to be pursued with effect and in accordance with what this House is entitled to expect of a committee of this nature if such a committee is established. [More…]
The comments that the Deputy Leader of the Opposition made tonight about multi-national companies and all the other things were of the same nature as the comments that were made in relation to the double dissolution last year when charges were laid against the then Opposition, the Senate and His Excellency the GovernorGeneral. [More…]
If the honourable member has been misrepresented, he should state the nature of the misrepresentation and the denial. [More…]

-The honourable gentleman has demonstrated once again to this House the quality of his nature and the quality of his politics. [More…]
Would the Minister agree that peaceful and orderly gatherings of this nature are a true exercise of the democratic process and in marked contrast to the rowdy and violent demonstrations seen in front of this Parliament last year? [More…]
The Prime Minister- showing, to use his phrase, the quality of his nature and the quality of his politics- said: [More…]
I would suggest that the relevant standing order is framed so that a case of this nature can in fact be taken care of, that an honourable member cannot be prevented from raising a matter in this chamber because another honourable member or that honourable member himself may have placed a notice on the Notice Paper. [More…]
If this practice is allowed to continue there will be a complete travesty of the forms of this Parliament and great damage will be done in terms of ensuring that matters of public importance of this nature are brought to life and are properly discussed in the Parliament where they should be discussed. [More…]
I refer you to some of the history of notices of this nature. [More…]
As these amendments are of a technical nature and as persons may already, unwittingly, be in breach of the Act, we do intend that the Bill should correct the identified anomalies in the Foreign Takeovers Act retrospectively to 1 January 1976. [More…]
The amendments to the legislation for this purpose are of a machinery nature. [More…]
Many of the amendments proposed in this Bill are of a technical nature and I will not therefore attempt to explain them all. [More…]
The few proposals which were not discussed with the committees are mainly of a drafting nature or designed to give proper authority for already accepted procedures. [More…]
The legislation is of a machinery nature to set up a suitable trust account, subject to normal audit procedures. [More…]
Both these bills are of a machinery nature. [More…]
I hope that other honourable members who have interests in matters which come before the House will follow a similar course of action and reveal the nature of their interests. [More…]
May I quote further from the same statement: ‘The Liberal and National Country Parties reiterate their commitment to supporting and enlarging participation in the decision-making structures relating to the AAP and reaffirm their commitment to the on-going nature of the Plan as a means of assisting individuals, groups and areas in greatest need of social welfare assistance at the community level . [More…]
Is any information available to support the view that the action is motivated by vindictiveness, spite or as a threat; if so, what is the nature of the information. [More…]
and (3) Seasonal harvest employment because of its temporary nature is not normally included in the range of employment used to work test girls. [More…]
Pursuant to section 1 1 of the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Act 1974 1 present an agreement in relation to the provision of financial assistance to Tasmania for land acquisition for nature conservation purposes- Lavinia nature reserve, King Island, 1975-76. [More…]
However, because of the complicated nature of applying this in each individual case- the formula has to be applied separately in each individual case- it seems that in practice the machinery becomes more difficult to function. [More…]
My colleague, the honourable member for Oxley (Mr Hayden), who led for the Opposition in this debate, referred to the complicated nature of these schemes. [More…]
Because of the nature of the industry there is not the opportunity to capital intensify the industry to make it more efficient. [More…]
Contingent upon the termination of this scheme the Commission recommends that the adjustment assistance measures outlined in the separate report on fruit growing reconstruction apply to the apple and pear industry and in particular that area redevelopment authorities be established in the apple and pear growing regions of south-west Western Australia, southern Tasmania and the Stanthorpe region of Queensland and that the feasibility studies necessary to determine the nature and extent of these authorities be undertaken as expeditiously as possible. [More…]
One can think of many others of a secondary and tertiary nature which have not adjusted in the way that these agricultural industries, in particular the fruit industry, have, because of union obstructionism, because employees cannot be sacked anyway, or because the industry is protected by very high tariff levels. [More…]
I know this question is with the Government at present but in view of the very harsh restrictions now being placed on fruit growers, dairy farmers and other people in Victoria, which make it by definition impossible for an owner operator to obtain unemployment benefits even though he is generally available for work and has had virtually no income, because of the so-called continuing nature of his employment he is barred from receiving unemployment benefits. [More…]
It calls for perhaps a lot more courage than we have been prepared to display in the past, but given the nature of the demands that have mounted enormously in the past several years and the availability of public finance, which has increased at nowhere near the same rate, much more courage will have to be displayed by all political parties than has been shown in the past. [More…]
It is not the sort of welfare initiative which gets votes but it is the sort of welfare initiatives which satisfies one greatly because one realises that one has discharged a very important moral obligation in society to do something for the very serious social casualties that we do have in our community, and to help the very worthwhile people who dedicate their lives to helping the men and women who are homeless and who are drifting in the community, often in a situation of that nature because of some sort of crisis that has occurred in their life. [More…]
The honourable member for Oxley in referring to this figure of $134m and what he thought a Labor government would have been able to achieve to satisfy this demand, then turned and criticised this Government for what he termed to be the open ended nature of this commitment that is inherent in this amending legislation. [More…]
The Rockdale Congregational Homes Trust had a project of a similar nature. [More…]
Even if the amount per bed is increased we should recognise that the amount would increase further over the normal time of building, and of course we are talking about one year for a reasonable sort of project of this nature. [More…]
1 ) What is the nature of records kept in respect of persons suspected, apprehended, searched and convicted under the Customs Act. [More…]
Will he give an assurance that delays of this nature will not occur again. [More…]
But this is the nature of the man. [More…]
That is a matter that the Leader of the Opposition fails to understand because it is so plainly and blatantly foreign to his nature. [More…]
-The honourable gentleman misunderstands, as I would have expected him to, the nature of this instance. [More…]
Without a special assault of a positive nature with an inclination, a sympathy and an orientation about Aboriginal interests, the injustice which has characterised Aboriginal-police relations in the past will continue. [More…]
That is a fairly tenuous series of events on which to base a speech of this nature. [More…]
We seek to consult the States in relation to massive projects of this nature. [More…]
In the Gosford-Wyong area there are 50 or 60 communities of this nature. [More…]
The full cynical nature of this Government is revealed in its cuts in foreign aid. [More…]
The short term bullish factors in the United States, by their very nature must run later into restraints that are inherent in the fundamental disequilibrium in that country. [More…]
The classical economists, particularly Ricardo, recognise the essential nature of the cycles. [More…]
In recent times we have been told of the acceptable amount of money that can be allocated to foreign aid and things of that nature. [More…]
The other project, which I think is of a more urgent nature, is the establishment of the National Animal Health Laboratories. [More…]
It is important because it affects the whole nature of the argument. [More…]
The Commonwealth Government certainly had no knowledge of the nature of any correspondence that might have taken place and is not a party to it and has no intention of being a party to it. [More…]
The Grants Commission is at present engaged in an examination that would define the nature of local government because the definitions of local government are different in different States. [More…]
We need only recall cyclone Tracy and the 1967 Tasmanian bushfire to realise the devastation that can be wrought by nature when unleashed. [More…]
Experience in the United States has shown that farmers are finding complete crop insurance is becoming more and more a necessity because of the impact of inflation on the cost of farming and the value of crops being subject to the vagaries of nature. [More…]
A flood of this nature would have a return period of 100 years or so, the last major flood of the Torrens being in 1889. [More…]
But nature is rather perverse in the way in which she responds to probability ratios. [More…]
Until 1967 the almost exclusively casual nature of waterside employment resulted in a situation whereby there was almost a complete absence of the employer-employee relationship which existed in most other industries. [More…]
Since the introduction of the Conference scheme arrangements, embodied as they were in legislation of a temporary nature, consideration has been given as to the form that future or more permanent arrangements should take. [More…]
It would therefore seem appropriate that stevedoring companies seeking to increase the prices they charge should do so in the full light of examinations of this nature. [More…]
The economic measures to which the Government has resorted in a clumsy, frequently erratic manner are not the appropriate economic measures to have been applied in this country, given the nature of the economic difficulties which we faced. [More…]
I am sure that I do not have to remind honourable members of this House of the number of tragic drownings of the children of migrant parents who are not acquainted with the basic safety precautions that are second nature to most Australian-born Australians. [More…]
I think he ended up going to lunch with the Indonesian Ambassador, or something of that nature. [More…]
I do not know what the nature of the claim is. [More…]
Its work is exploratory in nature and designed to prepare the way for a negotiating conference. [More…]
I also remind the House that it will be at the next Premiers Conference that the nature of the division between that part which goes on a needs basis and that part which goes on a per capita or per capita weighted formula basis to all local governing authorities will be determined. [More…]
I understand that there are a couple more files of a purely technical nature relating directly to the Caravelles, the Viscounts and the Electras that have nothing to do in any sense with the allegations. [More…]
As I said, it is a bit hard to understand why the Leader of the Opposition should embark upon an exercise of this nature when in fact he was Prime Minister and had 3 years either to hold a public inquiry, if he had such doubts as he expressed the week before last, or to call for the files. [More…]
The future Treasurer of a Labor Government is using words in the opening speech on a debate of this nature that I can only describe as rather crass and, to my mind, a little absurd. [More…]
In fact when that French emperor of whom the Leader of the Opposition is so keen to speak found himself in a situation where he was to be elevated from the position of consul-general or something of that nature and to be crowned an emperor, he was rather like the Leader of the Opposition, so fascinated with power that, to the amazement of all present, from the hands of the Pope he grabbed the crown and put it on his own head. [More…]
This is an extremely technical matter as the context of the 2 speeches made on behalf of the Opposition indicates, but in many respects the system of valuation that is going to be adopted will, by its very nature, remove a lot of the doubts and difficulties of construction which formed the basis of the speech of the honourable member for Grayndler. [More…]
We all know that commercial transactions can, by various routes and various associations, perhaps wittingly or unwittingly conceal an arrangement or an association between a buyer and a seller, and that the provisions of revenue legislation both at a State and Federal level are directed to revealing the true nature of the relationship between the parties to a particular transaction. [More…]
One has also to take into account the desire to minimise disruption when a change of this nature is made. [More…]
There is a recognition that for a period of 3 months transitional and administrative arrangements of this nature should operate. [More…]
There would be some genuine problems even if the implementation of this legislation were put off for a further period of 12 months because it is in the nature of commercial transactions when one changes a system of this nature which has operated for so many years that, no matter how much warning one gives and no matter how much time one spends explaining the provisions of the new requirements to those who will be required to comply with them, there are nonetheless during the transitional period understandable teething problems. [More…]
In view of the serious nature of the matter I ask that it be examined by you, Mr Speaker, as soon as possible to determine just what the situation is and, if the case is as I suspect, to bring to light this gross and disgraceful deceit of this House and a conspiracy, if there be one. [More…]
Transactions of this nature require Reserve Bank approval and must be made ‘in the normal course of business’. [More…]
I do not intend to go into the whole of the circumstances of those inquiries but Mr Fancher, Mr Rae and the Premier have all acknowledged some of the nature of those inquiries. [More…]
The unique nature of the Territory’s physical environment has bred in, or attracted to it, a special kind of people. [More…]
I hope that soon we will have before this House another Bill of a similar nature which in some way or another will mean that an efficiency audit is carried out, perhaps by the Auditor-General or by some other body of this Parliament. [More…]
As the Minister for Post and Telecommunications (Mr Eric Robinson) said in his second reading speech, this is a technical Bill and the amendments are of a most technical nature. [More…]
These days, when we have to consider the nature of Budgets and Budget deficits and the way they are financed, the economic and financial effects of the financing of Budget deficits, that statement ties in with the significance of the monthly doings of the Commonwealth that cannot be put aside very easily. [More…]
I mention these instances not as a plea for a wider investment allowance but simply to point out the two-faced and inconsistent nature of the Government’s measures and to illustrate that its priority lies not with the interests of small business but with those of their bigger brothers. [More…]
It seems a little unfair that if benefits of this nature are to be given, those with intrinsic faith, who ordered before 1 January 1976, should be exempted. [More…]
Can he detail the nature of the fishing operations conducted within 200 miles of Australian territory from bases in the New Hebrides. [More…]
What is the nature of the work done for the Department of Health by each officer and employee, and what hours did each officer and employee spend on this work during the past year. [More…]
Have any of the officers and employees undertaken courses of instruction, or other training in respect of their duties for the Department of Health; if so, who and what was the nature of the training. [More…]
I understand that we may receive an invitation to witness some form of self-determination, the nature of which I have not yet been able to examine in any detail. [More…]
The whole nature of the problem is such that many dairy farmers, as indeed many beef producers, are in ii position where their incomes are significantly less than almost everybody else’s in the community. [More…]
It has been said that nations and people may fight and war among themselves but nature will look after those who look after it. [More…]
Human nature being what it is, one can accept the reason for what has happened. [More…]
The policy approved by me for the operation of this element of the scheme will establish guidelines to be observed by the Corporation on such aspects as the overseas countries which could be covered, the categories of investment eligible for insurance and the nature of the non-commercial risks against which investors overseas would be insured. [More…]
The Papua New Guinea (Staffing Assistance) Termination Bill 1976, which is now before the House, consists of 34 clauses, most of which are of a machinery or ‘savings’ nature to preserve the residual entitlements of personnel when the Australian Staffing Assistance Group is wound up on 30 June 1 976. [More…]
The money provided is in the nature of a loan from the Government in the sense that when the companies are operating at something like their optimum level they will be paying company tax to the Government and persons will be employed and the economy will again be functioning at something like its proper level. [More…]
A great deal of assessment has been carried out by a great number of people to try to establish the extent to which investment allowances of the nature wc have before us do in fact stimulate investment in industry, either as a counter cyclical activity or in terms of some direction in economic growth. [More…]
There is no substantial evidence to justify any belief that investment allowances of this nature influence investment decisions. [More…]
Such is the nature of the lags between consideration of an investment undertaking and the actual decision to undertake that investment. [More…]
I return once again to the nature of the scheme with which this clause deals. [More…]
It does, however, recognise-as recent experience has highlighted- the nature of the nexus between the rate of increase in labour costs, especially wages, unemployment and inflation. [More…]
The remainder of the amendments are mainly of a formal nature, with a few being of substance. [More…]
The remaining amendments in the Bill are consequential upon those already referred to, or are relatively insubstantial or are of a formal or drafting nature. [More…]
Then there is a further lag of varying length according to the nature of the equipment, the source of supply and the standard of its development before it is finally delivered. [More…]
That is the nature of the lag that overhauled us. [More…]
Nowhere is the nature of the Fraser Government more clearly revealed than in the priorities set by the Treasurer last week. [More…]
In the first place nobody on the Government side says and no sensible person says that a deficit is of its nature a bad thing. [More…]
It is the measure which in fact reflects the economic nature of the society in which we live. [More…]
But he made 4 errors and the nature of those 4 errors were pointed out before the suspension of the sitting for dinner. [More…]
If it can be so organised or financed as to cause more economic activity to occur than would otherwise be the case one changes the nature of the Budget deficit to do so. [More…]
The Opposition used a deficit as an ideological commitment to change the balance and the nature of the Australian economy. [More…]
That immediately removes half of the sentence which mentions full employment but one also has to consider the nature of society. [More…]
Any grouping, from a State to a local government body, is of its nature artificial. [More…]
They arise because of long-standing differences in accounting practices between local governing bodies within States and between States, some of which are of a fundamental nature. [More…]
However, the Commonwealth is involved in problems of this nature through its representation on the Australian Fisheries Council by the Minister for Primary Industry. [More…]
Within the designated area for the growth centre, the Development Corporation will have the powers to resist development pressures of this nature and is planning accordingly. [More…]
The imbalance of trade in Australia’s favour has been characteristic of transTasman trade for a long period and arises mainly from the nature of the goods available for exchange between the two countries. [More…]
If I may, I would only say that the nature of the honourable gentleman’s question does him honour because e knows no better. [More…]
Some of the findings were of a very serious nature. [More…]
I have seen reports of the nature that the honourable gentleman outlined. [More…]
A fundamental provision recommended by Mr Justice Woodward- namely, to declare the nature of the Aboriginal land rights to their own land- was omitted from the Bill introduced by the previous Government. [More…]
In view of the nature of this report and the fact that copies of it are not available for ready distribution and examination, I seek leave to move a motion that the House take note of the paper. [More…]
Again, local government will be another area vitally affected by the nature of the cuts. [More…]
But I suggest that the child endowment payments in those areas in which the family can possibly afford it- if the family could not it would be spending its total income anyhow- will remain in the bank to meet especially those commitments to rates and the commitments of that nature that will of necessity increase because the Government has not in this package indicated a sufficient level of support to local government to prevent very substantial increases in costs in that area being passed on to the public this year in the form of municipal rate increases. [More…]
However, the socialist nature of the state will be defined in the constitution. [More…]
It is most undesirable, and I think honourable members will agree, that anything in the nature of criminal proceedings should be heard in a closed court. [More…]
Before I describe the nature of the problem that has come to our notice, let me say that the Government stands firmly and absolutely committed to the retention of Medibank, the continuing support of public hospitals in the States and the free treatment of patients in standard wards, as Medibank and the hospital agreements provide. [More…]
Besides introducing a common aim the Government has also decided that there should be a greater degree of commonality among the 3 Services’ cadet schemes particularly in the nature of the Commonwealth assistance. [More…]
What is the nature of the burden? [More…]
What is the nature of the total cost that will have to be borne? [More…]
By nature these people are courteous to one another. [More…]
From the time of that visit of mine to Aurukun with people like the legal adviser to the Aurukun community, Mr Frank Purcell, Senator Neville Bonner and departmental officers, we were aware and very conscious of the nature of the concern of the Aurukun people. [More…]
So one clear message that has come out of developing experience is that when mining companies and others go in to confer with Aboriginal communities they must first take the time to do their homework and learn the basis of Aboriginal social structure, learn the nature of Aboriginal tradition, learn where the lines of authority are within Aboriginal communities, learn who can speak with authority for the Aboriginal people and learn who ought to speak when they are conferring because only if this is done can any adequate consultation be carried out. [More…]
The survey conducted in respect of 2 000 or more hospitals in America showed that the mortality was 40 per cent higher in those smaller hospitals of 100 beds or less than it was in public hospitals when balanced in terms of the nature of illness. [More…]
The purpose is to undermine completely its credibility, the efficiency with which it has functioned, the comprehensiveness and efficiency with which it has given universal coverage and the equity of the nature of the Medibank concept. [More…]
That is the nature of the coercion injected here and the Government is dishonourable and dishonest for wanting to do this. [More…]
The dishonourable nature of this whole exercise is that the Government does not give a damn about the way in which people meet the cost of health services. [More…]
Then it becomes discriminatory by its nature. [More…]
In Queensland and Tasmania the figure has been about 80 per cent for a long time because of the nature of the systems there. [More…]
Doctors play a key role in determining overall costs because it is largely they who make the decisions to put patients into hospitals, the length of stay, the need for and nature of operations or other courses of treatment. [More…]
There will be Government provoked increases in the consumer price index of a most substantial nature. [More…]
The instruction issued by my Department on 10 July, 1975 (and clarified in a further instruction dated 1 1 July, 1975) was in the nature of a reminder that precautions should not be relaxed. [More…]
Because of the intermittent nature of this work and its integration with other management services activities it is not possible to be precise about the number of persons employed in such a capacity. [More…]
To ensure that the children’s welfare is safeguarded, the Minister for Social Security has requested that child welfare authorities continue to refer for attention, matters of an unusual nature or where malpractices occur, and has asked to be kept informed on a regular basis of the number of children in their State or Territory who are known to come within the provisions of that Act or are exempted therefrom. [More…]
That will mean that on and from that date the only applications that can be filed in State supreme courts will be those which are ancillary to proceedings already commenced or which are in the nature, I understand, of cross proceedings. [More…]
-I ask the Prime Minister to recall yesterday that he tabled some documents of a particularly sensitive and confidential nature covering communications between senior public servants and members of the Government. [More…]
Having witnessed the attitudes that were adopted by members of the present Government parties when in Opposition, I will not anticipate the attitude that may be taken by the Opposition in the Senate on a Supply Bill of this nature. [More…]
Again, like the Wool Industry Amendment Bill, these Bills are of a machinery nature to extend the total operation of the wool reserve price scheme for another season. [More…]
Tribunals of this nature, which operate on the adversarial system, depend very heavily upon the submissions of the parties before them. [More…]
I remind the honourable member that in the latest decision handed down there has been greater flexibility given in dealing with anomalies that exist in very difficult cases such as the wool dispute which involved storemen and packers and disputes of that nature. [More…]
I just remind him that the Minister has always had the right to intervene in the public interest in matters before a full bench under section 3 1, that is, the section relating to standard hours of work and wage claims based on national economic grounds, long service leave and things of that nature and also under section 34 dealing with references and section 35 dealing with appeals. [More…]
It does, however, recognise- as recent experience has highlighted-the nature of the nexus between the rate of increase in labour costs, especially wages, unemployment and inflation. [More…]
Countries demand from others standards they do not observe themselves, while too often judgments are based not on the nature of an action but on the identity of the actor. [More…]
There is a simple reason for this- a reason not linked just to the amount of industry and the size of the city but a reason which is based on the nature of the Sydney basin itself. [More…]
Obviously this cannot happen because of the nature of this Bill, but by the. [More…]
I am delighted that the Minister for Employment and Industrial Relations (Mr Street) is willing to consider the substance of the amendment and to consider the nature of this clause and the argument proposed in support of my amendment when an amendment to the Conciliation and Arbitration Act is to be introduced into this chamber later this year. [More…]
Because of the nature of the legislation we have introduced, some unions will- be catered for under section 170. [More…]
In addition there are a few small firms manufacturing limited quantities, usually of a specialist nature. [More…]
But I do not really think that these matters are particularly relevant to the nature of the discussions that have been taking place between the Commonwealth and the States. [More…]
Because of the nature of the hospitals agreements I am advised that the States’ control has also been weakened. [More…]
I also can imagine that there might be some projects which would be of such a doubtful nature to Australian investors that we would not get any Australian participation. [More…]
If one accepts, as I do, the assurance of the Minister for Transport, one understands that this legislation is machinery or administrative in nature. [More…]
I suggest that this might be consistent with the friendly nature of the people in Tasmania and the slower pace of life in that State. [More…]
We can never change the basic fundamental nature of a person. [More…]
As I have said before, this is an extremely comprehensive report and it is quite impossible to deal with every aspect of it in a short speech of this nature. [More…]

We are going back to the old system of private health insurance which means it will be more expensive for individuals in the community to cover themselves with private insurance because of the inefficient nature of the private health insurance system. [More…]
Firstly, I shall deal with the cost of Medibank and the discriminatory nature of the formula which the Government has initiated. [More…]

[More…]
Without breaching commercial confidentiality, the areas of manufacturing and mining operations covered by grants and the nature of project grant assistance will also be included in the reports, which will be tabled annually in both Houses of Parliament. [More…]
When one looks at the way in which Commonwealth programs need to be curtailed one has to examine the nature of the programs to see where it is reasonable to exercise greatest restraint. [More…]
The fifth point I made was that the nature of the means test distorts investment by inducing people to prefer ‘exempt’ assets and thus to undertake wasteful expenditure. [More…]
I am not going to raise at this moment the differences between myself and the Treasurer (Mr Lynch) as to the nature of what he is pleased to call the deficit and which I do not think is properly a deficit at all, nor at present will I raise the importance of the so-called deficit in framing Treasury policy. [More…]
This Bill seeks to uphold the institution of marriage by encouraging a greater awareness in persons of the nature, dimensions and responsibilities of marriage before they take the decisive step to enter into marriage. [More…]
The information and advice contained in the document about the obligations and consequences would, of course, be of a practical and non-controversial nature. [More…]
The remainder of the provisions of this Bill are of a more technical or formal nature. [More…]
A council is in the nature of a community corporation based on a local Aboriginal social structure serving the special interests of that community. [More…]

I might add that when a loss is sustained under this scheme it is of a fairly substantial nature. [More…]
But of course what needs to be said in a debate of this nature is that the Liberal-National Country Party Government believes in home ownership for Australians. [More…]
Bearing in mind the limited nature of the existing GATT arrangements on skimmed milk powder and milk fat and of the OECD Gentleman’s Agreement on Exports of Whole Milk Powder, Australian delegations to the ongoing MTN discussions have stressed the need for improved international dairy arrangements. [More…]
In what manner the security, environmental safety and matters of that nature could be effectively protected. [More…]
Accordingly, having regard to the nature of this petition it is felt that there is some obligation to make available publicly documents that are tabled in the chamber. [More…]
There is another matter which I think is important, and that is that the character and nature of the documents themselves have no greater validity, or indeed less validity, than they have at the moment of tabling. [More…]
I suggest, with very great respect, that what the honourable member for Kingsford-Smith has said does misconceive the nature and the effect of the motion before the House. [More…]
I first state the very general principle as to the nature and extent of any particular privilege claimed by Parliament. [More…]
Clause 8 of the Crimes (Internationally Protected Persons) Bill implements the obligation that Australia will accept under article 2 of the Convention to make the intentional commission of the offences described in that article crimes punishable by appropriate penalties which take into account their grave nature. [More…]
Thereby it becomes an indictable offence because of the nature of the imprisonment, the indictable offence being applicable because of section 42 of the Acts Interpretation Act which provides for offences punishable by imprisonment for a period exceeding 6 months to be indictable unless the contrary intention appears. [More…]
I am dealing with section 18 of the Crimes (Aircraft) Act and it may be relevant at this stage to read to the Parliament the nature of that section. [More…]
I can envisage other cases involving dangerous goods that would not be subject to his discretion; in other words, because of the horrendous nature of the matter he would think that it was a proper case to go before a judge and jury, or a judge for sentence. [More…]
I must confess that I have a great deal of sensitivity in response to the suggestion of the honourable member for Hunter (Mr James) that the sentence attached to a crime under the Act- 7 years- seems to be quite inadequate in terms of the horrendous nature of the crimes that people are inclined to perpetrate from time to time. [More…]
There are a number of other small consequential amendments and some of a machinery nature included in the Bill. [More…]
The only official bodies specifically excluded are those of a judicial nature and the elected Legislative Assemblies of the Territories. [More…]
The main differences between this Bill and that presented last October by the previous Government are, briefly, that: We have clearly defined the nature of the Aboriginal land rights we are recognising by vesting title in trusts for the benefit of all those Aborigines with traditional rights to use and occupy that land- 1 might add, a fundamental provision strangely missing in the Labor Government’s Bill. [More…]
As Woomera meteorological observations will still be available there will be no change in the nature of the information provided by the Bureau of Meteorology for aviation. [More…]
However, we must be prepared to recognise that progress will be difficult, due partly to the entrenched nature of domestic policies in many countries and partly to disagreement between the two main participants in the negotiations-the United States and the EC. [More…]

[More…]

I thank the honourable gentleman for the unforeseen nature of his question which was obviously prompted by the previous question asked from the Opposition side. [More…]
Because of the specialised nature of defence ships, it has so far been found difficult to achieve this. [More…]
The big advantage that country commercial radio stations have over our national broadcasting system is that they can provide services of a local nature to the far flung areas. [More…]
Australia, because of its very nature, because of its remote and far flung population, relies to a very great degree on an effective, efficient communications system and these new provisions will provide such a system. [More…]
-My comment is more in the nature of a question to the Minister. [More…]
I can understand that one program can invade another, but I am wondering about the nature of the programs invading or the integrity of the local areas in relation to that invasion. [More…]
This committee was given the task of investigating and reporting to the Government on the nature and condition of the National Estate and the ways in which all bodies in Australia, both government and non-government, could work together to preserve and enhance it. [More…]
During that time, in both the Parliament and the countryside I expressed our wish to preserve for posterity those things that were created by man and nature and that are unique and beautiful. [More…]
This Committee was asked to view the National Estate as comprising such things as national parks, nature reserves, historic buildings and structure of architectural merit, areas of special scientific interest, the coastline, inland waters, our wetlands and urban parks. [More…]
We must develop new instruments of foresight and protection and nurture in order to recover the relationship between man and nature and make sure that (he National Estate that we pass on to our multiplying descendants is green and flourishing. [More…]
It was in 1973 that Australia established a committee of inquiry to ascertain the nature and state of the National Estate and the role which the Australian government could play in the preservation and enhancement of the National Estate. [More…]
The very nature of the legislation, its purpose and intent demand a total commitment from this Government to the protection, maintenance and preservation of our National Estate. [More…]
The broad nature of the Committee structure was a tremendously significant factor. [More…]
The Department of the Environment’s program on grants to conservation bodies, amounting to $448,000 was a recommendation of the Interim Committee as was the program of the Department of the Environment for acquisition of land for nature conservation. [More…]
What is the nature of the training given. [More…]
I have written to the Victorian Minister saying that I am unable to accept this proposition that funds of this nature ought to be made available, on top of the $3 8m, for urban arterial roads, and that too ought to go to local roads. [More…]
For the purpose of these provisions royalties include payments for the supply of industrial know-how and other amounts in the general nature of royalties. [More…]
When economic conditions permit and when funds are again appropriated for new urgent projects under the National Estate program the Government will be looking to the Heritage Commission for advice on priorities and needs, including those of a financial nature. [More…]
I think that the Government’s attitude to the size of the Commission and its nature shows a basic lack of understanding of the nature and type of problems faced in preserving our heritage. [More…]
Finally, probably the most important reason why the size of the Heritage Commission should be left at that proposed in the original Act is that the Commission, by its very nature needs to have representatives of all interests. [More…]
They range from nature conservationists through to people engaged in national trusts and pre-history. [More…]
The National Estate is not only concerned with bricks and mortar but also with nature reserves. [More…]

It requires each state which is a subscribing party to the Convention to make the intentional commission of certain actions crimes under its domestic law punishable by appropriate penalties which take into account their grave nature. [More…]

If an amendment of the nature suggested were made to that clause, all the defendant would have to do would be to get into the witness box and say: ‘I did not know that he was an internationally protected person’. [More…]
Having done that, I shall let the honourable gentleman know the nature of that reply. [More…]
The ombudsman will have the powers and the staff which will give the teeth to make effective legislation of this nature. [More…]
We are seeing the end of all attempts to improve the nature and quality of social services, to meet unsuspected areas of need, to find new ways of helping people, and to find new ways of helping people to help themselves. [More…]
The simple facts are firstly, that the contractionary nature of the Budget will lead to vast unemployment because of the fall in aggregate demand, especially through a decline in consumer, government and business spending; and, secondly, that the whole rationale of the economic package does not attack the basic ills of the economy- that is, the structural imbalance caused by elements such as obsolescence, protection and multinational corporate activities. [More…]
The complexities of drug evaluation and the great divergence of scientific data comprising submissions received, according to the nature of the drug, make it impossible to estimate when all will be processed. [More…]
However, the whole concept of investment and the nature of the application of income equalisation deposits will be announced by the Treasurer or by me within the next couple of weeks. [More…]
Before the nature of the investment is finalised legislation will be introduced into this Parliament and it will be on the basis of that legislation that a person’s individual entitlement will finally be determined. [More…]
The assistance that the Government has provided has been of an interim nature. [More…]
I inform the honourable member for Oxley that he is entitled to ask a question but he is not entitled to predetermine the nature of the answer. [More…]
But there was never a decision of this nature by any section of the Labor movement. [More…]
It has over a long period of time become a repository of highly developed skills and expertise of a nature that is unique to the industry. [More…]
Although some production of major vessels might be commenced in such an emergency, the nature and scale of any construction undertaken would depend significantly on an assessment of the conflict becoming protracted. [More…]
When the honourable member for Port Adelaide raises a matter of public importance of this nature in the House he ought to point it more directly at members of his Party and members of the trade union organisations that he claims to know so well. [More…]
They want to make an appeal and they have raised a matter of this nature to prove their so-called real interest in the shipbuilding industry. [More…]
In their nature monetary forecasts tend to be even more fallible than activity forecasts. [More…]
I should also remind the honourable gentleman that it is a normal practice of government that reports of an interdepartmental nature of this kind to governments be not published. [More…]
In other areas, the very nature of Australia’s terrain has meant that access to abattoirs is not as it might be. [More…]
The opportunities are still there at reasonable rates because of the highly developed nature of the overseas tourist industry and the assistance that governments overseas have given to help their own tourist organisations. [More…]
Some other minor amendments of an up-dating nature have also been included. [More…]
I trust that the New South Wales Government, in deciding upon the formula for distribution will see that country councils, particularly the all-purpose councils which also control water and sewerage services, will not be penalised and metropolitan councils, whose main function is of a general nature, will not receive more than their share. [More…]
The nature of economies is such that, unfortunately, there is no such thing as a ‘quick fix’. [More…]
By his very nature the present Prime Minister is aloof and authoritarian. [More…]
To say that the sessional order means that a Minister cannot respond to items raised by private members during the course of the debate, particularly when may of the matters raised are in the nature of general political criticisms, either of the Government or the Opposition and general political attacks on the Government is incorrect. [More…]
Has he advised the States that the Government considers Australian Assistance Plan type programs, being programs primarily of a local community nature, are best funded and administered by State governments? [More…]
Let me give some indication of the nature of the problem of finding employment for young people, although the problem is not restricted to young people. [More…]
When the Leader of the Opposition says that the Budget puts big business first and people last all he is doing is displaying for all to see his utter ignorance of the nature of our economic problems and his ignorance of their cause. [More…]
I referred earlier to the frivolous nature of the Opposition amendment. [More…]
Clearly the projected sharp fall back in growth in production for the year is voluble evidence of the contractionary nature of the budget. [More…]
Such criticism as there has been has generally been of a minor nature in relation to the overall strategy. [More…]
If the Leader of the Opposition believes otherwise, he has misunderstood the medium term nature of this Budget. [More…]
The mining industry, which also took a terrible beating from the Labor Government, also receives benefits of a medium term nature. [More…]
Because of the complex nature of the economy and the difficulty of understanding its working, the onus is more on corporations to invest than it is on consumers to spend. [More…]
The Government has been concerned at the open ended nature of the Commonwealth’s financial commitment under the hospital cost sharing arrangements. [More…]
The amendments are of a rather minor nature. [More…]
Of course, they also have a very fixed view as to the nature of a Budget deficit that ought to be negotiated by the Commonwealth while giving the States that money. [More…]
The Deputy Leader of the Opposition (Mr Uren) who does not respect the very nature of the States, would not be interested in the proposition that there should be an equal deal for all States of the Commonwealth. [More…]
Nonetheless, forward orders and seasonally adjusted figures for industrial production for the period May 1975 to July 1976 testify to the deep-seated nature of our economic ills- the ills which this Government inherited. [More…]
The fact remains that even in areas where employers cannot resist over-award claims- because of the borderline nature of the operation, under capacity and a shortage of skilled workforce- the impact of the general level of wages is such that in some other area of employment someone else is retrenched or is not replaced on leaving his employment. [More…]
It is to grant financial assistance to the States in connection with expenditure of a capital nature and to authorise the borrowings of certain moneys by the Commonwealth. [More…]
We arrived at conclusions about transport, nature conservation or health programs in which we did not see much political difference. [More…]
Such is the nature of the generosity of this Government that we find a reduction .in those allocations of $27.4m. [More…]
That is the nature of the record of the man who now calls in question the mandate that was given to this Government on 13 December last year. [More…]
It will be available whatever the total value of the estate or the nature of the assets included in it. [More…]
In addressing itself to the provision of educational facilities and services it will examine amongst other things the overall pattern of institutions and courses including their objectives, the magnitude of the provision including the desirable balance between sectors, the relationship of educational provision to community and individual needs and preferences, the accessibility of education and training including reentry and transferability, the problems of special groups, for example, the handicapped, ethnic groups, Aboriginals and women, the responsibility of State and Commonwealth authorities in relation to the nature and location of institutions, preparation for employment including skilled and semi-skilled groups, the provision of recurrent education and the means of evaluating the quality and efficiency of the system. [More…]
Honourable members will see from this the wide ranging nature of the inquiry. [More…]
This involves not merely increasing understanding of the nature of change. [More…]
The remaining provisions of the Bill are of a clarifying or formal nature. [More…]
It is one of the perverse characteristics of human nature that if the responsibility of fending for themselves is removed or even alleviated they tend to be less energetic in fending for themselves. [More…]
I think the depressing conclusion that one would come to with regard to the field of technical education was that the States of New South Wales and Victoriatremendously important States- were using Commonwealth grants of a capital nature for technical education as a substitute for and not additional to their own expenditure. [More…]
As the honourable member for Fremantle has pointed out quite clearly it is often the nature of the expenditure on education that needs to be examined if it is to have an effect on the broad economic parameters of any nation. [More…]
Notwithstanding the exaggerated nature of Mr Hawke ‘s claims, the Australian public must be grateful to ACTUSolo for highlighting and emphasising the chaotic and inequitable pricing structure in the petrol reselling industry and the exceptional bargaining advantages that companies such as ACTU-Solo are able to procure. [More…]
To understand the Budget strategy of the Government one requires an understanding of the nature of this problem and therefore I will speak briefly on this matter. [More…]
He developed the idea of the continuing nature of revolution. [More…]
Mao also based his strategy for the revolution and for a new China on a belief about the nature of man which is very different from the beliefs that dominate our society. [More…]
It is closely tied up with their understanding of the nature of change and progress. [More…]
Many praised the dead Stalin before they realised the true nature of the monster. [More…]
Differences arise from the very nature of the communities in which Aborigines live. [More…]
What the Government has set about to do is to appraise Aboriginal programs, to look at the nature of housing programs that have been developed, to look at the jobs that have been provided in the form of special work programs, particularly in Aboriginal areas, and to assess whether they are really the sorts of programs that are wanted or required and to assess whether they are the programs that the people themselves, given a choice and not believing that they are doing what we want them to do, would themselves accept and want and pursue. [More…]
I might say that objectively anyone who claimed to know much about the nature at which revenue comes in and expenditure goes on would be disposed to say that it is really not until the beginning of May that an honest forecast can be made of the final deficit outcome. [More…]
I think my colleague, the honourable member for Adelaide, has done a service to the House by pointing out the nature of this measure. [More…]
Unless they develop aims that extend to individual unity of character, to co-operative relations with other workers and with nature, as well as to control and responsibility in the operation of the system of production, or to that aim that is usually called socialism, workers remain firmly within the capitalist hegemony and within power of the capitalist ruling class. [More…]
Alienation is the isolation or estrangement of individual persons from themselves as persons, from others and from nature. [More…]
It is now no longer the level of unemployment that counts, it is the nature of employment. [More…]
As the relevant sections of the Representation Act 1905 are the subject of a High Court writ, it would not be appropriate to make calculations of this nature. [More…]
Such standards require a deep understanding of the nature of professional competence and knowledge of the tasks professionally qualified persons are called on to perform, the relative importance of these tasks and the knowledge and skill necessary for their performance. [More…]
For example, it would be a higher priority to spend money on school dental health services and on the development of community health services- a whole range of community health and welfare services and other areas of responsibility of public office- rather than plugging benefits into a system which will just incite more utilisation because of the nature of the fee for service system and the sort of benefits that can be derived from that system because of the absence of adequate restraint on it. [More…]
The Government was concerned, as I said earlier, about the open-ended nature of the previous agreements. [More…]
It is the practice of the House to allow passing references of this nature to be made. [More…]
The late C. J. Dennis was one who typified the nature of the change of that society. [More…]
The Government’s deeds have exposed the Government’s true nature- its blindness, its compromise, its folly, its intolerance. [More…]
At no stage was a booking made for the All Blacks rugby team and a block booking of this nature was in no way unusual. [More…]
The furnishings are of a contemporary nature. [More…]
This involves to some degree a question of principle- that is, the nature of the proceedings before the court. [More…]
If we consider the role of the union executive pursuing his own political objectives, we can see how often in recent times the union has been treated as a political institution guided by leaders whose aims are of a nature very different from those of the union members. [More…]
The farcical nature of the politicking which goes on with some of the unions involved in that industry was made amply clear when some of those unions sent members to protest in this House. [More…]
Perhaps the most glaring area of complete ignorance is on the nature and value of profits. [More…]
This ignorance of the nature of profits and their value is typical of the Opposition benches. [More…]
It is extremely interesting to hear honourable members opposite offering comments of a very learned nature tonight following the presentation of our first Budget. [More…]
The nature of this Budget is one that corresponds to a great extent with that requirement and it avoids the wastage and the excessive expenditures of a different nature that were incurred by the last Government. [More…]
One has only to read some of the literature that is available from time to time to discover that there are many who have an ideological commitment to changing the nature of society and replacing the normal family care of children with a substitute care- care by the state- of young children. [More…]
The advice I received on that point, and again I emphasise it is subject to check, is that the apparent- I underline the word ‘apparent’- fall in July is not of significant account in itself because of the nature of these statistics. [More…]
That would not reflect the nature of agreements between governments. [More…]
It would not reflect the nature of legislation. [More…]
Clearly it would not be responsible to undertake a transfer program in advance of major decisions on the nature of our decentralisation programs. [More…]
I second the motion for the suspension of Standing Orders on this basis: It is very important that a matter of this nature be discussed as quickly as possible. [More…]
I think it should be a committee which is separate from the Public Accounts Committee and from the Expenditure Committee, because those committees, I suggest, already have inbuilt views because of the nature of their activities. [More…]
I believe that the Parliament ought to note that the Commonwealth is making available to the States payments of a revenue nature amounting to $2,484m, an increase of 3 1.3 per cent. [More…]
So that in the 2 major items- general revenue funds and specific purpose funds of a revenue nature- there are increases of 20.3 per cent on the one hand and 31.3 per cent on the other hand. [More…]
The Gundagai collection is of great historic interest because of the detail it contains and the broad ranging nature of the collection. [More…]
It is of interest to them because of the costuming, the decor of the houses, the types of vehicles and things of that nature, which are shown in great detail. [More…]
It is not unlike a book launched by the Leader of the Opposition (Mr E. G. Whitlam) in the not too distant past, in that it is a book which anybody could take proudly into his home and have no fear of his children thumbing through the pages and being confronted with pornography and things of that nature. [More…]
I submit that there is not enough analysis done on the nature of unemployment in Australia. [More…]
Others thought that the nature of the beast of being an officer in Treasury was to play the part of the abominable no-man. [More…]
It certainly would provoke far greater debate, perhaps far greater debate of a more educational nature. [More…]
It is quite clear that the nature of the Australian work force altered in a crisis way during the past 3 years. [More…]
In crises the nature of the work force always changes. [More…]
Let me look at what that crisis situation is that developed in the nature of the Australian work force. [More…]
The Labor Government left us with the position in which it was quite clear from both the nature of the work force and the nature of the economy which that work force reflected that full employment just could not have been a possibility under Labor’s own administration. [More…]
Inevitably, because of the nature of its actions, the Social Welfare Commission was going to come into conflict with the bureaucracy at all levels and whatever political persuasion. [More…]
Indeed, the Commission instead of rationalising social welfare, only contributed further to the fragmented nature of social welfare. [More…]
There were half a dozen cabinet groups, or groups of that nature. [More…]
It came to my notice today that multinational companies- I will not nominate the particular case because a fight occurred today in regard to it and my pin-pointing of it might get the individual concerned dismissed or something of that nature- are refusing to deduct contributions to Medibank Private from the pay of individuals. [More…]
No one in the House deplores the inconvenience that arises when a disputation of this nature occurs more than members of the Opposition. [More…]
With those definitions being applied in specific cases to meet the nature of our programs and the nature of federal law, I do not think that the illwill which the honourable member thought might arise in fact will arise. [More…]
Of course, some are announced and others are of a confidential nature and the confidentiality naturally is safeguarded until a public announcement is made. [More…]
I believe that very little will be achieved of a permanent effective nature until we have developed the self-reliance of the Aboriginal people themselves. [More…]
The Committee was concerned that the proposed variation might involve destruction of, or otherwise adversely affect, part of the existing nature reserve. [More…]
The Committee believes this requirement provides adequate protection for the nature reserve area. [More…]
However some of the criticisms did not go to the nature of the Tribunal’s operations but appeared to be mainly motivated by sectional considerations. [More…]
Let us turn now to the nature of the Government’s attack on living standards and real wages. [More…]
I have already indicated the very serious nature of the directive and the fact that it will be an inhibiting factor for Aboriginal legal services around Australia. [More…]
Unfortunately no consistent philosophy has been developed about housing of this nature anywhere in Australia. [More…]
The IAC made some comments on the defence nature of the shipbuilding industry. [More…]
Very little preparation seems to have been done in Australia on acknowledging the changing nature of our work force. [More…]
I agree with the honourable member for Kingsford-Smith, without in any sense agreeing with the particular matters which he used as an example to express his concern about the Bankruptcy Act- I think it was perhaps unfortunate that he used those matters- that legislation of this nature ought to be kept under very regular review. [More…]
Councillor Caterson, I think, is secretary of the Australian Federation of Air Pilots, or something of that nature. [More…]
1 ) What was the nature and extent in detail of Australia ‘s commitment at the World Food Conference held at Rome in 1974. [More…]
Thus even if it were accepted that the world food problem is primarily distributional in nature, the impact that Australia could make by departure from internationally accepted practices is minimal. [More…]
Has the acquisition of 2 1 9 hectares of land at Towra Point, Kurnell Peninsula, N.S.W., for the purpose of a national nature reserve been completed. [More…]
In view of the wide interest generated by the reports which the honourable member has mentioned I requested the Commissioner for Community Relations to indicate whether the newspaper reports were an accurate statement of what he had said, and also requested information on the 23 organisations which are alleged to be racist and on the nature of the monitoring to which he referred. [More…]
To indicate the nature of this monitoring he has provided me with a booklet prepared by his office titled Racist Propaganda in Australia: A handbook of Hate. [More…]
Firstly, I think the $ 1 7 referred to was an after tax wage and I hope it complies with the Victorian vegetable growers award which should cover work of this nature. [More…]
Indonesian Foreign Minister, Mr Malik, revealed in an interview the true nature of Mr Peacock’s visit to Jakarta. [More…]
Perhaps the real nature of these latest events lies in the words of the Leader of the [More…]
I stated that Australia’s problems basically stemmed from deep-seated structural problems of both an economic and social nature. [More…]
It also reflects the community nature of Aboriginal life and the sharing characteristic which is customary of the Aboriginal race. [More…]

[More…]

Clause 8 refers to the judgment of the High Court and sets out the nature of the judgment - that the High Court may. [More…]
I think the nature of that judgment is set out in sufficiently wide terms in clause 8 to enable the High Court to express its judgment in any form which is appropriate to a particular case before it It is not a rigid situation and it is not a matter of saying that what prevails in Australia is necessarily appropriate for Nauru. [More…]
The Nauruans have been most anxious to demonstrate, particularly in matters of a civil or criminal nature, that there are available, especially to those non-Nauruan communities, rights of appeal beyond the Supreme Court of Nauru. [More…]
Quite apart from any other consideration, this sort of arrangement, by its very nature, does not lend itself to schemes involving the payment of unemployment benefits as a result of work on public projects. [More…]

Not only is the Government denying unionists the right directly to elect their officials and providing for manipulation of officials by minority groups through continuation of the collegiate system, but it is also allowing for some persons to undertake union duties of an official nature without having to face an election.

The Government has shown a total misunderstanding of the nature of industrial relations and the workings of the trade union movement in this country. [More…]

The incestuous nature of the interlocking companies and directorships provides this small clique of proprietors with perhaps the most effective grip on the instruments of a national media that could be witnessed in any part of the western world. [More…]
What is objectionable is the arbitrary nature of the power which is available to proprietors- whether it is used or not- to fix the priorities on public issues. [More…]
Perhaps a greater sense on the part of unions of the arbitrary nature of the powers of proprietors and of the stifling structure of the private media may serve to galvanise the union movement into some kind of organised campaign to break the iron grip these few executives have upon public opinion. [More…]
When one has the experience of British and European television, one is left with the distinct impression that the standard of Australian commercial television is poor by comparison, and I believe much of this can be laid at the door of its commercial nature. [More…]

The RED scheme provided assistance of a temporary non-recurring nature. [More…]
With the massive increase in unemployment which is now occurring I believe it will be essential to introduce something of that nature again. [More…]
This legislation will destroy all that by setting up 6 State commissions which, by their nature, cannot have a national view. [More…]
The argument put by the present Minister when in opposition was that because of the special nature of the services provided by the Department of Civil Aviation it ought to have its own administration. [More…]
Civil aviation is vital to Australia because of the very nature of the country. [More…]

The changes that have been made to company taxes and things of that nature are the indicators. [More…]

Reef Marine Park Act and the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Act. [More…]
It is further seen in the Government’s stated intention to give the States the administration of the Environment Protection (Impact of Proposals) legislation, its lack of commitment to the built environment, its refusal to fund nature conservation organisations on a non-matching grants basis if funded at all and its abolition of the public environment awareness program.

All Australians are affected by the decisions of this nature made in any of the Australian States. [More…]
A further illustration of this Government’s lack of commitment to the protection of the environment concerns the nature of their grants to conservation organisations. [More…]
By making grants of this nature, the Labor Government sought to establish a permanent and growing network of action and information groups capable of influencing governmental and commercial impacts on the environment. [More…]
The nature of the amendment to the Bill is such that if a government were genuine in its intentions it could do a great deal. [More…]
From a technical point of view, the amendments which allow the Australian Government’s role in nature conservation to extend from mere land acquisition assistance to the States to co-operation in management activities should be supported. [More…]

In essence it provides that, in addition to land acquisition, the Commonwealth can agree with a State on programs of management and the provision of facilities in parks and reserves in connection with nature conservation. [More…]
This is a major breakthrough for the States in the area of nature conservation. [More…]
If a State decides that it has adequate tracts of land set aside for nature conservation purposes, it can select its priority by saying to the Commonwealth that it wishes to apportion its share of the Commonwealth funds to the management and control of those parks. [More…]

(1) Where a cause pending in a federal court other than the High Court or in a court of a State or Territory relates to a matter arising under the Constitution, or in a cause pending in any such court a question of interpretation of the Constitution is involved or arises, it is the duty of the court not to proceed in the cause unless and until the court is satisfied that notice of the cause, specifying the nature of the matter or question, has been given by a party to the Attorney-General of the Commonwealth and to the Attorney-General of each State and a reasonable time has elapsed since the giving of the notice for consideration by those Attorneys-General of the question of intervention in the proceedings or removal of the case to the High Court “(2) For the purposes of sub-section ( 1 ), a court in which a cause referred to in that sub-section is pending- [More…]

A decision has been put upon the Government by the nature of this report, which has recommended that the mining be stopped forthwith. [More…]
It goes no further, and that is the nature of the report. [More…]
Yet the nature of this report seems to accept the second proposition and not the first. [More…]
Much of this will apply in terms of export income forgone and those transfer effects that help to support large parts of Australia which of their nature are unable to compete with the rest of the world. [More…]
In view of the unprecedented nature of the decision on Fraser Island sand mining and the responsibility that must logically fall upon the Australian Government to finance this National Estate acquisition, will he give an assurance that the Federal Government, on behalf of the people of Australia for whom Fraser Island is being preserved, will accept full responsibility for the financial loss to and disruption of life style of those people affected by the decision? [More…]
For example, if, in dealing with universities, I look at capital figures, I find that in the triennium 1973-75 the capital needs were of the nature of $294m. [More…]
Commissions say, these institutions have committed themselves for a number of years to programs that are very worth while, particularly, for example, in the migrant education field and programs of that nature, and they are not able to get their recurrent expenditure, they will have to meet this expenditure from their own resources, or, alternatively, reduce some of the existing standards that they have been able to build up. [More…]
At a more general level we need to know the Government’s position and the nature of its commitment to the recommendations in this report. [More…]
We are trying to break up the authoritarian nature of the whole Australian schools system, particularly the government schools. [More…]
But because of the nature of the forestry industry in Australia and the uses to which forestry products are put, we cannot really look at each problem in isolation. [More…]
It is not good enough for the Government to announce that if future agreements of this nature are made, it will be necessary for the States to comply with the administrative arrangements of the Environment Protection (Impact of Proposals) Act. [More…]
I do not believe that enough is understood about the delicate nature and fabric of our environment or the conflict that arises between development proposals and the need to preserve our heritage. [More…]
It is a matter for caution because of the involved nature of forestry, and because of the difficulty in divorcing from a consideration of softwood forests consideration of hardwood forests, the preservation of native forest and many natural features of our environment. [More…]
If senior advisers and servants of this Commonwealth, whether they be civilians or members of the armed forces, are to take to the Press and attack politicians on one side or the other, the apolitical nature of the Public Service comes to be broken down and destroyed. [More…]
I believe very strongly that the great bulk of senior public servants in this country respect and do everything they can to enhance the apolitical nature of the Public Service. [More…]
From the nature of his question I think that the honourable gentleman is somewhat confused. [More…]
I do not seek here to deprecate those persons in the private profession who are providing services of a legal aid nature. [More…]
That debate was extensive in nature as it encompassed 8 other Bills. [More…]
It is difficult in a debate of this nature to make a valid comparison between the performance of the 2 major domestic airlines- Ansett and TAA. [More…]
If there is to be a 2-airline agreement and if there is to be disputation that requires negotiation between the union concerned and the 2 airlines, surely those negotiations, because of the very narrow nature of the industry, ought to be on a bilateral basis, that is, both TAA and Ansett should continue the negotiations together without one taking advantage of the other. [More…]
Because of my inquisitive nature I am wondering what might be the situation because it appears that we will have that area within federal jurisdiction now. [More…]
I believe that one of the aftermaths of cyclone Tracy was not only the increased premiums but also the fact that throughout Australia new standards have been set for building construction, both of a private and commercial nature. [More…]
The Minister for Environment, Housing and Community Development (Mr Newman) who is at the table came to this Parliament as a result of undertakings of that nature. [More…]

I am one of the people who, in some ways, has doubts about absolute rights being vested in municipalities, particularly concerning personal, freedoms and things of that nature. [More…]
The oil companies are not without problems and we should not forget the right of the consumers of petroleum products in Australia to have a certain level of price flexibility which is consistent with” a competitive arrangement in a market of this nature. [More…]
I am led to understand that requests for the collection of evidence of this nature for foreign tribunals would be regulated by the practices and procedures of relevant State courts. [More…]
Can the Minister tell me the nature and extent of the inquiry? [More…]
The General would know that if the Crown presents an indictment against a person charged with some offence and within the Crown case conflicts of that nature arise, any counsel worth his salt will be on his feet saying to the judge: ‘I ask your Honour to take a certain course- to direct the Crown prosecutor to return the indictment and to enter a nolle prosequi’. [More…]
I want to refer in some detail to the unsatisfactory nature of the proposals of the Minister for Business and Consumer Affairs. [More…]
Therefore, whilst many of the objectives of legislation of this nature are objectives that the Government shares in common with the views expressed by the honourable member for Kingsford-Smith and whilst the Government is committed to greater uniformity in this area and a greater involvement by the Commonwealth Government, for the reasons I have outlined the approach at this time by the Opposition is fundamentally at odds with the approach that the Government has adopted to this matter. [More…]
It is, I think, sufficient to say that clause 8 of the Bill creates in Australia offences that give effect to Article IV of the Convention and provides penalties that take into account the grave nature of those offences. [More…]
I emphasise that the precise nature and functions of these bodies need to be left flexible at this time so that final details can be worked out with the parties in the national discussions to which I have just referred. [More…]
Needless to say, the Government will need to be satisfied with the nature of the final arrangements entered into in this area. [More…]
Some of them are of a purely drafting or machinery nature and are set out principally in Schedule 5. [More…]
I recall that in an earlier debate of this nature this year the Minister made the point that the amount being provided for national highways was much greater on a percentage basis than was being provided for other categories. [More…]
That is in keeping with his nature. [More…]
I think possibly that is alien to the Minister’s nature. [More…]
I think that puts in proper perspective the sincerity of this amendment and just how much the Opposition means when it moves amendments of this nature. [More…]
I would have thought that trade with Papua New Guinea, given the unique relationship to which the honourable member for Adelaide rightly referred in his speech, would have been of such a nature as to prevent the honourable member from trying to score a mere debating point by saying that the agreement could have been more generous. [More…]
In deciding the nature of the new arrangements, the Government has been aware of the differing expert views which found expression through the Royal Commission regarding the appropriate central administrative machinery which should be developed. [More…]
There would be sufficient for, I think, a bit more than a regiment plus reserves and things of that nature. [More…]
No one can easily foresee what threats or nature of threats might be made in future but history has shown that unpreparedness leads to disaster. [More…]
I shall indicate briefly the nature of the proceedings that have been instituted in the United States. [More…]
Accordingly it follows that this is legislation of a very urgent nature. [More…]
I am not going to call for divisions or anything of that nature. [More…]
-We realise that at certain times it is abundantly necessary for the Government to introduce legislation of an emergency nature. [More…]
Out of courtesy and as a member of the Parliament of this nation I am surprised that I am asked to vote, or not to vote, on a matter of this nature. [More…]
The new pattern of management of the exchange rate will enable more frequent, more timely and smaller adjustments to be made to the rate; is appropriate to the changing nature of the world economy and to Australia’s international trade relationship; is designed to avoid the build-up of an expectation of major changes at long intervals in the future; will permit the use of the exchange rate as appropriate, as a more flexible arm of economic policy; and will require little or no institutional changes. [More…]
In spite of the grave nature of a want of confidence motion -not a step which the Labor Opposition takes lightly- we found on the only other occasion of such a censure debate in the past year that this was the tactic used. [More…]
How can Loan Council aspects be resolved until the precise nature of the arrangement is settled? [More…]

and (5) TAA’s commercial arrangements of this nature are properly a matter for TAA to decide upon, but my Department is concerned at potential hazards to passengers and aircraft resulting from increasing congestion on the aircraft apron adjoining TAA’s passenger terminal at Sydney. [More…]
The Government believed that if there were political dispute over the nature of the contract it would lead to an inevitable conclusion. [More…]
The document almost of book size we understand, was vital in persuading senior members of the former Government that the Australian Labor Parry should play down the bases issue and forget Whitlam’s pre-government promise to expose the purposes and nature of Pine Gap, North- West Cape and the other controversial U.S. bases in Australia. [More…]
There can be no certainty that further changes in the excess distribution provisions would, given the nature of the situations to be dealt with and the quite bewildering complexity of this area of the law, hold out any greater assurance of success than the amendments made as recently as 1973. [More…]
It is just one of the inevitable problems that confront people wherever they try to define race or ethnic groups or anything of this nature. [More…]
Therefore, if we have to decide a new formula, introduce subsidiary legislation or something of that nature to bring about a different deal in relation to mining rights, we should not allow the renewal of leases to continue in their present form because I believe it offends the spirit of the legislation and it will make absolutely certain that there are large parts of the Northern Territory on Aboriginal domain which will never belong to the Aboriginal in the strict sense. [More…]
His Honour wrestled with the question as to the nature of the rights which Aboriginals should have to minerals that might be found within Aboriginal land. [More…]
The granting of land to an Aboriginal council would not be in the nature of a traditional land right. [More…]
the persons (if any) shown in the Register maintained by the Council under section 24 as the traditional Aboriginal owners of that land understand the nature and purpose of the proposed direction and do not oppose it; and [More…]
This is really fundamental to the nature and structure of Aboriginal society. [More…]
Anybody who says this would not be really in touch with the nature of Aboriginal usage. [More…]
The amendment which the honourable member for Mackellar (Mr Wentworth) has moved is implicit in the legislation because, from their very nature, identification and mapping of such sites would not be done in breach of Aboriginal usage. [More…]
the amount and nature of any other interest or benefit which is proposed to be granted to, or to any person or Land Council on behalf of the traditional Aboriginal owners of the land; [More…]
e) the nature of each type of activity which the applicant for the grant proposes to carry out upon the land, and the order in which such activities are proposed to be carried out; [More…]
After a lengthy consideration of the nature of areas already held by Aboriginals as reserves and other parts of the Northern Territory, he said of vacant Crown land: [More…]
Without limiting the generality of sub-section ( 1), a person shall be deemed to have desecrated a site if, on or near the site, he knowingly does an act, or causes damage, of such a nature that the doing of the act or the causing of the damage, as the case may be, would, if witnessed by Aboriginals to whom the site is significant, be offensive to them by reason of the Aboriginal tradition in respect of that site. [More…]
Not only that, a proposal of this nature negates the whole intention of this section as it further envisages the sale of a sacred site to rnining interests. [More…]
Commonwealth financial assistance to State sewerage is of a ‘total program ‘ nature with the Commonwealth allocating specific amounts to Authorities to assist their total programs of approved sewerage works comprehending sewerage reticulation, trunk sewers and treatment plants. [More…]
Government and Catholic education authorities in each State are responsible for developing procedures for determining which of their schools should be declared as disadvantaged, and a variety of measures of the socioeconomic nature of the communities served by the schools are employed in these selection processes. [More…]
If so, what was the nature of that advice? [More…]
Why would peoplehave confidence in New South Wales when they know that the Government proposes to pursue policies of that nature? [More…]
While on this point, however, it is worth noting that even if all surplus labour is eliminated from the industry, idle time payments will still have to be made because of the very nature of this industry with its fluctuating work loads. [More…]
Therefore, I believe that any provocative act by employers or government would encourage even union leaders of moderate unions- this is human nature and I am not condoning it but I am saying that it would happen- and give them an excuse to say: ‘Right, we will take you on’. [More…]
I think the amendments will clarify both in the minds of the Tribunal and of companies which must deal with the Tribunal what view the Government takes as to the nature of exemptions and what should be the consequences of those exemptions being granted. [More…]
It stated: the exemption power contained in the Prices Justification Act complements the notification power in 2 very important ways; first by providing an optional power and second, by providing the Tribunal with the means of exercising a discretion based on the circumstances and nature of individual cases. [More…]
This will promote a greater consistency of approach between the deliberations of the Tribunal and the Trade Practices Commission regarding the nature and structure of markets. [More…]
Some of the criticisms did not go to the nature of the Tribunal ‘s operation, but appeared to be mainly motivated by sectional considerations. [More…]
The Prices Justification Tribunal of its nature cannot be an aggregate brake on inflation in Australia. [More…]
We point out that such considerations are of a general nature and should not be applied in a rigid or mechanical way. [More…]
I think the honourable member for Melbourne Ports (Mr Crean) acknowledged the enormous difficulties of a federal tribunal of this nature undertaking a comprehensive priceapproval role. [More…]
Unfortunately the objectives will be much more difficult to achieve because of the change in the nature of the arrangements for collecting the levy. [More…]
It is the nature of the beast with the apple and pear industry that one tends to get an off-year and an on-year. [More…]

The prime purpose of this Bill is to reconstitute the Australian Housing Corporation in accordance with the Government’s announced policy and to change its name, nature and function so that its sole responsibility will be the administration of the Defence Service Homes Scheme. [More…]
I return to the amendment to section 99 of the principal Act and illustrate to the House the offensive nature of but a few words which have proved to be the albatross around the neck of the pharmacists of this nation for more than a decade. [More…]
It highlights this Government’s lack of understanding of the very nature of the housing problem and this Government’s lack of overall policies and priorities. [More…]
He is probably over 36 years by now and he would have been excluded by virtue of the nature of his service. [More…]
However, there have been a number of representations to me on this amendment and as the present legislation is largely transitional in nature, I have agreed to withdraw the words ‘are to be or’ from sub-section 16(1) (c) of the present Bill. [More…]
Apart from the possibility that a provision of this nature could lead to some commercial operators applying pressure on the Government to make assistance available to alleviate financial difficulties resulting from their own commercial practices, the inclusion of such section in the Act does not, in reality, provide the Minister with any additional powers. [More…]
The next point is that one would hope that as the economy picks up, as it is showing signs of doing at the moment, it would be possible for the adjustments to this legislation to be more of an automatic nature. [More…]
In debates in this chamber on this subject it has been made clear by members on both sides of the House that the employment situation is directly related to the curbing of inflation and that the structural problems relating to employment are of a long term nature and will require a long term solution. [More…]
Already the Government is ramming this inadequate and ill-considered legislation through the Parliament without even giving itself time to understand the nature of the problems of the electronic media. [More…]
In my view this legislation will do nothing to change the fundamental nature of the present inadequate system. [More…]
Whenever economic constraints bear heavily on any organisation, the first activities of the organisation to suffer are anything of an innovative, experimental or controversial nature. [More…]
But one should understand the nature of human activity and biological functions including such things as human taste. [More…]
It is interim legislation to change the very nature of the broadcasting system. [More…]
Because of the public service nature of the ABC it was very difficult for people with talent to progress within that organisation. [More…]
Too much is left unsaid by this legislation for us to know the exact nature of this relationship, but the portents seem ominous for the ABC and, thereafter, ethnic broadcasting. [More…]
Most indirect taxes are regressive in nature but qualifications must be made to the general statement. [More…]
Because of the uncertainties of the capital market and of the nature of interest, 7 years is about the average lending period for large resource orientated loans wherever one might look in the world. [More…]
I think this is a reasonable proposition and, if companies want to take advantage of the deduction, they would need to re-arrange the articles of association and the nature of the company so as to maximise the benefit of the available deductions. [More…]
The attitude differs from firm to firm according to the nature of the business that is transacted. [More…]
They are accident prone because of the nature of the work. [More…]
People engaged in track maintenance, track construction and so forth, and heavy lifting are more accident prone because of the heavy nature of the work. [More…]
However, I will seek to explain it to him and I will take a little time, having regard for the nature of the question. [More…]
It is appropriate to the changing nature of the world economy and to Australia’s international trade relationships. [More…]
It shows the consistent nature of Government policy and the achievements of that policy, bearing in mind the constant stress by the Prime Minister that it is a long haul and that a slow recovery is what the Government is aiming for. [More…]
The problem of this across-the-board measure was very much the result of a series of across-the-board measures taken by the Labor Government- upward valuations, across-the-board expenditure, inflation which had an across-the-board effect and tariff cuts which were of an across-the-board nature. [More…]
Most of the material coming from Lidcombe to Bankstown is of a manufacturing or service nature. [More…]
But in the parliamentary sense this is not always a satisfactory procedure for reports of tribunals of this nature which are conducting inquiries and which may, as is indicated by this clause, have varying opinions. [More…]
If the Government does not accept an amendment of this nature, very clearly any advocacy its members have for worker participation and worker involvement is just a bad joke. [More…]
I suggest that this is one of the problems that has to be resolved about formal staff representation on commissions of this nature. [More…]
I believe even the honourable member for Maribyrnong would take comfort from the fact that when public confrontation of that nature occurs there can no longer be any doubt that this Government will not seek to interfere politically with the ABC and will not seek to impose its will upon the ABC. [More…]
b ) to provide programs of a specified nature; [More…]
Public broadcasting has a specific role and therefore the provisions in the Bill to provide services for people within a specified area, to provide programs of a specified nature and a specified purpose, are essential to the thrust of the Government’s policy. [More…]
Over the years it has proved practicable to settle many of these queries, particularly those of a minor nature, at operational levels. [More…]
Diversity in the characteristics of human settlements reflecting cultural and aesthetic values must be respected and encouraged and areas of historical, religious or archaelogical importance and nature areas of special interest preserved for posterity. [More…]
What was the nature of the proposed research project in each case. [More…]
Mrs Nixon and Mrs Anthony, asked to nominate the nature of the gift each received. [More…]
-The honourable gentleman completely misunderstands the nature of the new regime. [More…]
One of the reasons for the new system is to obviate speculation which, as the honourable gentleman ought well to understand, can build up where there are long periods in which there is no movement of the exchange rate, as has been the case in recent years since September 1974 and as was the case specifically during the course of recent months when there was major speculation as to the nature of the move itself. [More…]
It is quite apparent that many countries are selected and commented upon because of the nature of their regime. [More…]
I should emphasise that, while the discussion paper outlines proposals for a scheme, the Government is not committed to these proposals, as it believes that final decisions on the detailed nature of the scheme should not be taken until all areas of government, interested business and community groups and the public generally have been given every opportunity to make their views known. [More…]
I refer briefly to the nature of the assistance. [More…]
It is not affected by droughts or bushfires or grasshoppers or anything of that nature. [More…]
I am led to understand that requests for the collection of evidence of this nature for foreign tribunals would be regulated by the practices and procedures of relevant State courts. [More…]
Some concern will exist in certain sections with regard to penalties, the nature of notice and particularly the nature of the exercise of the power in respect of these proceedings in an orderly marketing situation. [More…]
The Opposition is not opposed to the principle of orderly marketing but it is opposed, perhaps, to the suggestion that the Attorney-General, irrespective of his merits or otherwise, can be given powers of this nature. [More…]
I think that a great many members on this side of the House would regard that litigation and the extent to which evidence was able to be produced as a result of letters of request issued to Australian domestic courts as very beneficial to world commerce and in breaking up of cartels of an objectionable nature. [More…]
The very nature of the Australian Housing Corporation and the innovative programs it was going to administer in every area of housing made accountability and analysis mandatory. [More…]
We recognised that to achieve our urban and regional development objectives specific housing programs of this nature were necessary. [More…]
However, I think I should remind the Deputy Leader of the Opposition that the purpose of this Bill is to reconstitute the Australian Housing Corporation in accordance with the Government’s announced policy and to change its name, nature and function so that its sole responsibility will be the administration of the defence service homes scheme. [More…]
I would suggest that temporary assistance, which by its very nature means urgent assistance, is not readily obtainable if an organisation has to wait for something Uke 8 months for a decision to be made on whether a reference to the Authority will be made in the first place. [More…]
I am a modest man by nature, with a limited kind of intellect. [More…]
The nature of such benefits, and the circumstances to give rise to them, will be the subject of discussions between the Board and employee organisations prior to decisions being taken. [More…]
The Government recognises that some sections of the community might argue that provisions of this nature should be included in other Commonwealth legislation such as the Conciliation and Arbitration Act. [More…]
It is anomalous that the Trade Practices Act should apply to private enterprise and not to government enterprise of a commercial nature. [More…]
In the time available to me, I wish to comment on the nature of this thinking and planning, its importance to Western Australia and finally what is necessary to ensure its realistic effectiveness. [More…]
The ills of this nation are of an economic nature and not of internal subversion. [More…]
This is partly due to the nature of their disability. [More…]
Those policies are of a continuing nature. [More…]
Where I part company from the honourable gentleman is in the nature of policies which are designed on a permanent and enduring basis to overcome our economic ills. [More…]
In response to my request, the Public Service Board has completed its initial examination of the matters specifically referred to it and I will shortly be announcing the nature of the further action which it has in mind. [More…]
Officials will not be authorised to discuss Government policies or to give opinions on matters of a party political nature. [More…]
Briefing of this nature will be authorised on the principle of promoting the freest possible flow of factual and background material to permit informed consideration by the committees and parties concerned of the issues involved, consistent with preserving the necessary confidence of Government and maintaining the traditional political impartiality of officials. [More…]
Officials will not be expected or authorised to express opinions on Government policies, policy options or matters of a party political nature. [More…]
Where considered necessary or desirable, Ministers may elect to be present at discussions with Government party committees, to deal with questions of a policy or parry political nature. [More…]
Where the Minister does not attend the committee proceedings, he will have the right to be kept informed by officials of the nature of the discussions and of any matters not able to be resolved by the officials to the committee’s satisfaction. [More…]
Much will depend on the nature of the request. [More…]
Having described briefly the nature of the problems that the new income tax stock valuation adjustments are designed to resolve, I turn now to the adjustments themselves. [More…]
The amendment is of a technical nature and will make it clear that any authorisation allowing mineral exploration in the nature of the former authority to prospect and the current exploration licence will be treated in a similar manner. [More…]
The work has been of a most exhaustive and, some would say, exhausting nature by way of study, analysis, consultation with Aboriginals throughout the Northern Territory. [More…]
I regret to say that this indicates a lack of understanding of the nature of an administered exchange rate. [More…]
They have not understood the nature of the change that has been made. [More…]
To do that we need to change the syllabus of existing teachers’ colleges all over Australia and we need to make sure that existing teachers in the teaching work force are retrained so that they can better understand the nature of the problems mentioned in this report. [More…]
I believe that in view of the nature of the challenge it would be very wrong if any legal point were used to prevent the full facts coming out in court. [More…]
It was a type of inquiry that probably was not particularly suited to the parliamentary forum in that it was technical rather than political in nature. [More…]
If so, (a) to which stations is the relay made, (b) where are the stations situated, (c) what is the nature and frequency of the news broadcasts relayed, (d) what is the real total cost including overheads in relaying those broadcasts and (e) what charges are levied. [More…]
In keeping with the competitive nature of the private health insurance industry, the Health Insurance Commission does not intend to release details of its private operations in advance of its competitors as such action may be inimical to its interests. [More…]
Because it is public land no distinction is made as to the nature or identity of the persons or groups using such an area for recreational uses provided the basic management principles are observed. [More…]
Section 51(1) of the Income Tax Assessment Act provides that any expense necessarily incurred in the gaining or producing of assessable income shall be an allowable deduction provided it is not an expense of a private or capital nature. [More…]
The Tribunal has had little need to seek information of any special nature from Australian Mining and Smelting Limited which has operated under the terms of an exemption order since September 1973 (E73/1S8 published in Gazette No. [More…]
The guidelines are intended to enable all listeners and viewers to have some idea as to the content and nature of the matter being transmitted in languages other than English. [More…]
I am informed that the report will be subject to examination by officers of his Department with a view to determining the nature of legislation that may be required. [More…]
What is the nature of the subjects involved in these contacts. [More…]
Which of these borrowings were for temporary purposes, and what is the nature of these temporary purposes. [More…]
Increases in workers’ compensation premiums may vary according to the nature ofthe industry and, for third party insurance, according to such factors as class of vehicle and area classification. [More…]
What was the nature and amount of all such aid? [More…]
-Mr Speaker, I want to submit to you that the explanation given is not satisfactory to the House in the sense that you have omitted to advise the Parliament that it is the responsibility and duty of the Attorney-General to certify in each case where legislation of this nature is submitted to the Governor-General that he has carefully perused the enactment and that it is in accordance with the legislation that passed both Houses. [More…]
I gave the honourable gentleman the right to speak because of the nature of the issue, but he knows that he has now gone beyond reasonable indulgence. [More…]
There is no room for mistakes in matters of this nature. [More…]
If one makes some short sharp comparisons between what happened during the Labor years and what has happened over the past 12 months one begins to see the nature of the turnaround that has occurred. [More…]
I was left wondering, after having spent some hours in the area, just why it is that we need something like a disaster of that nature to bring us together and to cause us to exhibit those qualities that we know Australians have but which all too often we seem to lose sight of in other than emergency situations. [More…]
The honourable member for Holt spoke of the unsatisfactory nature of question time in this House. [More…]
Bonuses may take many forms, may be paid at frequent intervals, even weekly, and may often be in the nature of overaward payments. [More…]
What is the nature of the subjects involved in these contacts. [More…]
Any examination of this nature would be done in conjunction with the State authority responsible for the licensing or registering of nursing homes. [More…]
Have the Queensland and British Governments informed the Australian Government of the nature of the discussions that took place. [More…]
Is he able to inform the House of the nature of those discussions. [More…]
Given their experience and temperament, and given their human nature, they are far more likely to prefer one of their own circle than an unknown from outside. [More…]
All future governments will know that appointments of this nature will not necessarily continue beyond that government’s period in office. [More…]
It is regrettable that the actions of the previous Government made legislation of this nature necessary. [More…]
It is nonetheless appropriate that the ground rules for these appointments be added to the statutes so that from this time on governments will act in the full knowledge of the nature and the extent of their actions. [More…]
It may be that an occasion would arise when a person who is appointed to a position of the nature referred to in the Bill may not have his term extended, even by the government which appointed him, because if the life of the government extends beyond the 5-year period of his appointment and his appointment is up for renewal, it may not be renewed. [More…]
If these people are interested in a career structure, they must consider whether the position which they are being offered is of a sheer political nature or whether their special talent and expertise are being recognised and they are being called upon by a government to perform a duty in the administration of government in this country. [More…]
My principal objection is the incestuous nature of the Bill where the Public Service is allowed to self perpetuate itself. [More…]
The thing that puzzles me about debates of this nature, and particularly the arguments that emanate from the other side of the House, is the obsession with ‘single authorities’ such as permanent heads, prime ministers and public service boards. [More…]
That Convention relates to the prohibition of the development, production and stockpiling of biological agents and weapons of that nature. [More…]
The first part concerns the nature of the answer by the Treasurer. [More…]
However, the introduction in 1949 of proportional representation dramatically changed the nature of political representation in the Senate. [More…]
If honourable members recall, some of those referenda were of a nature that clearly no government of our political persuasion could agree to. [More…]
An understanding of the nature of the petroleum industry and the policies which are required to bring about the cheapest possible delivery of petrol to the Australian consumers are not assisted by extravagant rhetoric of the type indulged in by the honourable member. [More…]
In those circumstances it was possible for somebody to appoint to the Public Service in the highest policy advising areas, people with a deep political and philosophical commitment which would destroy the apolitical nature of the Public Service. [More…]
As honourable gentlemen would know, the Government has introduced legislation designed to make that impossible in order to preserve the apolitical nature of the Public Service, but at the same time to make it possible for someone outside the Public Service to be properly appointed to a position on a contract basis for a particular period. [More…]
I believe that blends in a system which maintains the apolitical nature of the Public Service but at the same time makes it possible to attract outside expertise to the highest positions in the Public Service, if a particular government so wishes. [More…]
I ask the Minister: As these allegations are of a very serious nature and seem to involve millions of dollars of public funds, will he assure the House that the final report of the working party examining pathology services, due I trunk in December last, will be tabled in this House? [More…]
What is noticeable about the debate is the half-hearted nature with which the Opposition has approached the subject. [More…]
It is the opinion of the Opposition that there is no justification for writing into the Trade Practices Act provisions which, by their very nature, will cause more problems than they solve. [More…]
Finally we should note our belief that many but not all of the costs to which we have been referred have been costs of a ‘once only’ nature- usually legal and professional costsassociated with the process of becoming familiar with the legislation and ordering affairs to fit with its rules. [More…]
The point here, if ore relates that back to what the Trade Practices Commission said about the long term nature of this operation, is of course, that, there may be immediate complaint about the companies adjusting to authorities like the Trade Practices Commission, the Prices Justification Tribunal or the Industries Assistance Commission. [More…]
It is an impossible task to set up an authority like the Trade Practices Commission and expect that the nature of its operation will be as cheap- if we want to use that term- or that the costs will be as little in its immediate term of operation as they will be in the years hence. [More…]
I believe the trade practices legislation has to reflect the nature and structure of the Australian economy and the repeal of section 49 has to be looked at in that light. [More…]
It is anomalous that the Trade Practices Act should apply to private enterprise and not to government enterprise of a commercial nature. [More…]
They cannot understand how the Government’s priorities are so low that it has to take this action in order to sell some S000 extra tonnes of beef or something of that nature. [More…]
work that was done under previous schemes and insinuates that work done was of a make-work rather than of a productive nature. [More…]
However, the Minister’s statement of the works in previous schemes being of a mundane nature should be refuted. [More…]
When the dramatic boom in unemployment commenced in September 1974 nothing of any substantial nature was really done to assist the offices to carry out their functions. [More…]
The joint Commonwealth-State committees are defining the nature of expenditure which ought to be undertaken and allowed under the SO/50 hospital cost sharing arrangements. [More…]
If the honourable member is suggesting that there should be a situation in which an important area of activity, such as industrial relations, is largely conducted outside any law or outside the capacity to apply any law then he is saying something very serious about the nature of that society, and that is something that ought to be of concern. [More…]
I know that the Minister of course indicated that there might be some difficulties in relation to underdeveloped countries and matters of that nature. [More…]
At least a body of legal opinion believes that proposed section 45D could in fact be used as a major punitive clause against a union taking legitimate actionaction which any person other than a person who is totally devoid of a sense of responsibility would accept that the union is entitled to takeand could result in a suit of prosecution of a nature which would make it impossible for small unions, and there are small unions, to operate. [More…]
That should be a paramount principle in the sort of philosophy that stands behind legislation of this nature and that is what we are seeking to do. [More…]
The point that I wish to make is that the industrial work force has enough to contend with as the present capitalist system continues on its inevitable path of squeezing the work force in its quest for profits without being subjected to deliberately provocative legislation of this nature. [More…]
If you believe that is the way to get the economy going you are making a very sad mistake, and you will not succeed in improving labour conditions in this country by introducing legislation of a coercive and snide nature such as that contained in proposed new section 45D of this Bill. [More…]
We on this side would support any action taken by the Government which does something of a positive nature for the youth of this nation, because we believe that if there is one section of the Australian community now suffering from the present economic constraints imposed by the Fraser Government it is the young people of this nation. [More…]
Thus severely injured victims, whose need for economic security is greater because of the long term nature of their incapacity, are obliged to wait until medical opinion is final before their claim is settled. [More…]
The sad fact is that in a parliament of this nature we cannot even produce compensation legislation covering members of parliament. [More…]
The nature of the Act is such that the variation from quota will only ever be small. [More…]
Whenever legislation of this nature comes before us one could be forgiven for believing that the 3 groups of seats in this chamber taken up by the Liberal Party really come under the power of the National Country Party in the coalition. [More…]
If so, (a) to which stations is the relay made, (b) where are the stations situated, (c) what is the nature and frequency of the news broadcasts relayed, (d) what is the real total cost including overheads in relaying those broadcasts and (e) what charges are levied. [More…]
If so, which Australian Government bodies, and what has been the nature of the connection. [More…]
A person ‘s full recovery has only occurred when all the adverse effects of the nature quotedhave disappeared. [More…]
The extent and nature of possible conflict between the objective of reducing unemployment and other policy objectives. [More…]
That a joint committee be established to inquire into and report upon the provision of proportionate subsidies by the Australian Government to political parties and candidates in Federal election campaigns and the disclosure of the amount and nature of assistance by corporations and individuals to these parties and candidates. [More…]
Under these procedures the Commonwealth is prepared to join the State Government on a dollarfordollar basis in meeting expenditure on the immediate relief of personal hardship and distress, except where such expenditure is of a very minor nature. [More…]
The decision was based entirely upon the residential nature of the district in which the proposed development was to take place. [More…]
Despite this most recent decision and its effect on the process of winding down the rate of inflation, the discretionary nature of principle 1 is unquestionable. [More…]
In recent cases the Government has submitted that if there was an expectation of automatic full percentage indexationwe have constantly argued that there is no basis for such an expectation, given the discretionary nature of principle 1 -the acceptance of the Commission’s 2 partial percentage decision in 1976 established that such an argument no longer exists. [More…]
We are failing the Australian people because we are not giving them the opportunity of stable government or government of a democratic institutional nature. [More…]
I hope that on the next occasion this legislation is introduced this Parliament will recognise the worthwhile nature of its contents and approve it. [More…]
Pursuant to section 11 of the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Act 1974 1 present agreements between the Commonwealth and the States of South Australia and Western Australia relating to the acquisition of land for nature conservation purposes. [More…]
Medibank remains the supreme example of the Government’s true nature- broken promises, incompetent management, an abdication of responsibility, all disguised by specious propaganda. [More…]
If my remarks appear to be not of a gentle nature, Mr Deputy Speaker, I ask you to understand that they have been stimulated by an address by the Leader of the Opposition (Mr E. G. Whitlam) which must go down as the emptiest, most aggressive and mose unconstructive and character destroying addresses that I have heard in this House. [More…]
If we had something of a similar nature and if the responsibility for the works involved was placed in the hands of local government, I think that would have 2 effects. [More…]
These proposals concern the size and nature of a joint financial contribution by the 3 governments which would ensure the Banabans’ economic future. [More…]
With that, all foreign policy in fact has been atomic policy, because it has been the nature and the possession of the new weapons which have determined the course of history and the way in which the greater nations could act in order to further what they thought were their own interests. [More…]
It is an unfortunate reflection on a debate of this nature that as I speak there are so few in the chamber. [More…]
Last year, as I mentioned in my speech in the second reading debate on legislation of this nature in that year, the Tasmanian Government made an offer to the Minister for Primary Industry to extend cover additional to the stabilisation scheme to 340 000 boxes on a dollar for dollar basis with the Commonwealth. [More…]
I have heard reports of this nature. [More…]
The record of the former Labor Government clearly shows that it was anxious to stimulate congresses of this nature. [More…]
We should not just shut one eye and say that we caught some poor unfortunate drug addict peddling marihuana or something of that nature. [More…]
When referring to victimless crimes- I mentioned drunkenness, vagrancy and things of that nature- I said that an enormous cost is involved in putting people in prison for terms of less than 6 months. [More…]
What the Dunstan Government has done in South Australia illustrates the real nature of gerrymander. [More…]
As in so many things, the Labor Party when in office sought to destroy the federal nature of our Constitution. [More…]
It has become apparent that the posturing and positioning that needs to take place in the Labor Party to have the necessary effect of raising support among Caucus members is such that there have to be debates of this nature to allow the candidates the opportunity to expose themselves before their colleagues. [More…]
This is par for the course particularly in debates of this nature which they initiate and for which they cannot obtain support from their side. [More…]
I trust it will contribute to policy initiatives which will serve to redress the educational imbalance which Aboriginal people experience and which will recognise the culturally plural nature of Australian society. [More…]
As a further indication of the seriousness with which the Government views activities of this nature, I mention that the Government contemplates the making of a proclamation under section 27 of the Crimes Act prohibiting unauthorised military style training and drilling in the use of firearms. [More…]
In fact, by the very nature of their occupation they are independent and resourceful people who prefer to stand on their own feet but there are circumstances which prevail today which justify special consideration and our amendment merely acknowledges these special circumstances. [More…]
I know that fruit of the nature that we are discussing is perhaps not part of everybody’s diet, but that is a matter which I think can be dealt with by making that fruit available around the world. [More…]

These policies will shape the nature of Australian society to the year 2000. [More…]
He conveniently omitted the figures for the January to September quarters of 1976, which report a net gain in overseas movements of 21 370 persons and point to the seasonal nature of the population fluctuations. [More…]
Our population policies will determine the nature of Australian society in the year 2000 just as our past immigration programs have changed Australia over the last 30 years. [More…]
There has been some public debate about its nature and scope. [More…]
I suggest that there is confusion in the Australian community about the exact nature of unemployment. [More…]
It could examine further the nature of this problem. [More…]
Additionally, I think we need to examine the nature of our education system to ascertain whether sufficient resources are allocated to technical training and whether alternative forms of training for skilled trades other than apprenticeships are available. [More…]

In the remaining time available I would like to examine the nature of society in Australia today. [More…]
I wish to discuss the nature that I believe these advisory bodies should have if they are to serve us best. [More…]
I suggest this is the essential nature that advisory bodies should seek to have. [More…]
Unfortunately energy usage is an essential part of the economic nature of the community; hence the development and final implementation of an energy policy requires decision making at top levels of government. [More…]
What happened was that some of the magistrates themselves raised questions about the terms of the ordinance and the nature of their own independence under the ordinance. [More…]
Because of its size and nature it was held up by me for some weeks while it went under intensive study. [More…]
-The community’s need for health insurance stems from the nature of illness and its unpredictability, coupled with the very high costs of medical care. [More…]
Let us not be told this nonsense that public expenditure of this nature is, per se, inflationary. [More…]
It is true that the Press Club, by its nature, has a cloth woven pattern of membership, but its boorish attitude in providing a national forum does not bring it credibility. [More…]
We do need work creation of a lasting nature through local government and semi-government instrumentalities. [More…]
Often the nature of these adjustments to the life style of society is contrary to the objectives of the Government and to the desires and wishes of the public at large. [More…]
But for centuries humanity saw its nature and its problems as religious, spiritual and social. [More…]
So 18 months ought not to be, in the nature of the way the Government looks at things, merely a mid-term review, but a final and definitive judgment of its stewardship of the nation. [More…]
I do not normally raise matters of an administrative nature in this place. [More…]
In addition to that there are about half a dozen party stenographers, but they are normally required to do typing and clerical work of a political nature. [More…]
In the remoter parts of Australia of course the nature of the animals that are bred and used in those areas would very likely make them inappropriate for provision to countries overseas. [More…]
This principle should be applied to the payment of all grants of this nature made by departments and other government instrumentalities. [More…]

The only evidence I can find of a concrete nature through the transcript- the 1 100 pages of it which I duly read- is at page 963 where Captain Sam Benson gave evidence. [More…]
I believe that very little will be achieved of a permanent effective nature until we have developed the self-reliance of the Aboriginal people themselves. [More…]
But in this weak amendment nothing of a substantive nature has been put forward. [More…]
Because their grasp of the language was slight, they had no chance of understanding the uncertain nature of the contracts, such as they were, that were offered to them. [More…]
They had no chance of understanding the nature of the marketing of primary produce in Australia. [More…]
In my opinion it is a very serious matter that an officer, no matter in what circumstances, can place his Minister in a position which could be untenable- this would have been the situation had the then Minister continued in his position throughout the hearings of this inquiry- when it is found that evidence of a damaging nature given is incorrect and that fact is not immediately the subject of a report to the Parliament by the Committee. [More…]
If it is found on subsequent examination or admission that statements of that nature are incorrect I believe a report to the Parliament by the Committee indicating that incorrect statements, deliberately or otherwise, have been given to the Committee about a member of Parliament should be made even though the investigation is continuing because it is important that where incorrect statements are made deliberately or otherwise- I do not make any accusations in that area- the Parliament should be advised as soon as possible after that fact becomes apparent. [More…]
The extensive nature of the inquiry can be gauged from the very great response from witnesses. [More…]
May I just mention cursorily some headlines of a defamatory and damaging nature which appeared in respect of the former Minister. [More…]
Having regard to the nature of the work required to be undertaken, the related skills of the 2 staffs and the general scarcity of those skills and the high administrative cost of maintaining separate bodies, the Government concluded that the resources of the 2 Bureaus should be amalgamated to form a strong integrated transport research body. [More…]
In considering the question of an appropriate title for the new research body it was decided that, in view of the nature of the work to be undertaken, the title ‘Bureau of Transport Economies’, should be adopted. [More…]
I emphasise that quite apart from the humanitarian obligations which all developed countries have to participate in multilateral institutions of this nature, it should be recognised that there are certain benefits which accrue to the developed nations by virtue of their participation. [More…]
By doing so we will not only be clarifying the nature of our policies; we will be demonstrating a far more mature perception of women’s place in society. [More…]
Pursuant to section 11 of the State Grants (Nature Conservation) Act 1974 I present an agreement in relation to the provision of financial assistance to Tasmania for a resources survey for nature conservation purposes. [More…]
The debate has been of a non-partisan nature since it is evident that there is a very strong inclination to have regard to the need for Australia to make a contribution to the developing countries in our region particularly, but in other parts of the world as well. [More…]
As one goes through that very interesting quarterly review, it is interesting to note the nature of the disbursement of funds. [More…]
In addressing itself to its members’ needs and problems, many of which are of a long-term nature, the Bank’s efforts were directed to: [More…]
But is should be borne in mind that, as the report suggested, when we have economic problems as we do at the moment- they are not of a serious nature- we must give money in an organised manner and it must be money that we can afford without placing great burdens and strains on the Australian taxpayer and without taking funds from other sections of the Australian community where money is needed also. [More…]
We should be doing something of this permanent nature. [More…]
As a lawyer one might have hoped to amend this piece of legislation to ensure that the Australian people could express an opinion on any number of matters that the Government may from time to time decide; for example, the mining of uranium and matters of that nature could well have been encompassed in what might be called a general purpose provision. [More…]
It has been suggested that it is wrong to interfere with the freedom of individual Australians, that perhaps we should not prevent them from engaging in activities overseas, that it would be contrary to their individual rights, but if we consider the question we realise that we are talking about the right to engage in hostile activities of the nature described. [More…]
Let there be no doubt that over the years there has been a vast recruitment campaign of the nature to which I have referred in every State of the Commonwealth. [More…]

If he was in England at the time one would think that he would recall reading the article, in a debate of this nature now before this House. [More…]
The other characteristic which underlies this Bill is that it must be of a political nature, having regard to political effects in respect of Australians in overseas countries and in respect of the governments of overseas countries. [More…]
Unless those matters are understood, I am afraid that the very nature of the Bill cannot be understood. [More…]
The very philosophy and very nature of this Bill require that common sense be applied to it. [More…]

In the first place the editorial writer drew heavily on his imagination to contend that these pensions were something in the nature of a sacred cow and that they should be exposed to some form of means test. [More…]
They of course were those who made the majority decision- appears to me to be a serious departure from the federal nature of the Constitution, becomes entrenched in constitutional practice by the mere passage of time. [More…]

I would think that if this legislation had been current during the Vietnam war it would have caused a great deal of trouble to a lot of us, even those who gave money to the Red Cross for North Vietnam or something of that nature. [More…]
It would be charming if it were not for the serious nature of it. [More…]

In sub-clause ( 1 ) (b) omit ‘against the government of that country’, substitute ‘of a military or paramilitary nature’. [More…]
Nobody on this side of the Parliament would disagree with that aim, but in looking at the structure of this clause and what it talks about we interpret it to cover acts a lot wider than just acts of a sporadic nature. [More…]
To give support to our amendment, any Australian who engages in activity of a military or a paramilitary nature, irrespective of whether it is for or against a government, should be liable to a penalty. [More…]
It is said in the United States that matters of that nature belong to the sovereign capacity of a government. [More…]
enter a foreign country with intent to engage in a hostile activity of a military or paramilitary nature; [More…]
What he is doing above all is making himself a judge, making himself the conscience in respect of the activities of a military or paramilitary nature of any Australian overseas. [More…]
Nevertheless, the principal reason why the amendment ought to be rejected remain its absolute inflexibility, the absurdity of the situation with respect to the judgments which he is going to impose on Australians overseas when they engage in a very wide set of activities, for or against a government, of a military or a paramilitary nature. [More…]
If the honourable member for Lilley is unsure of the meaning of ‘paramilitary nature’, then I suppose I am just as unsure about the meaning of ‘hostile activity’. [More…]
Why does it not broaden it by using the words suggested in the amendment, that is, ‘of a military or paramilitary nature’ wherever that reference appears in a particular clause. [More…]
The real thrust of the Opposition’s amendments are that the Bill must be of a substantial nature and should not be for or against a government. [More…]
However, they were not strong enough so the Opposition prepared its own amendments on the basis of defining the nature of the operation. [More…]
It is not the kind of discretion that he has in relation to the giving of a consent under clause 10, which is a perfectly proper consent for an Attorney-General to be called on to give in proceedings of this nature. [More…]
The honourable member for Lilley (Mr Kevin Cairns), before the suspension of the sitting, as I understood what he said in the short time that he addressed the Committee, spoke in terms of what would happen if some armed force outside Australia, some recognised army of another country, were to seek people to serve that army perhaps in the capacity of programming computers, or something of that nature. [More…]
The honourable member for Grayndler (Mr Antony Whitlam) put forward a very sound proposition, I thought, as to why this clause dealing with an instrument signed by the Attorney-General and published in the Gazette should be amended so that it was in the nature of a regulation and would need to lie on the table in this chamber so that the Parliament could be involved. [More…]
-in reply-I have already indicated to the House that those proposed amendments are amendments of substance to the nature of the Bill. [More…]
We have felt it is essential for us to have a body capable of investigating roads and road transport with a view to assisting the Government in reaching its decisions as to the nature of the financial assistance to the States for roads and road transport. [More…]
Although the national highway programs have been going for 3 years, by the very nature of highway construction and the need for planning, designs and construction, the effect of the $243m spent in the years 1974-76 and the $ 156.8m being expended in this financial year have had little impact as yet. [More…]
The staff fears expressed indicate the very indefinite nature of the proposition that has been put forward. [More…]
Because of the short-term nature of the bountry proposal, provision has been made for the scheme to operate on a yearbyyear basis, for the amount available for payment as bounty not to exceed $500,000 in any yearly period and for the bounty scheme to be able to be quickly wound up, as provided for in subclause 4 (2) of the Bill, by the publishing by the Minister of a notice in the Gazette fixing the date after which no further bounty becomes payable. [More…]
Although they are generally more of a machinery than a policy nature we believe that they will contribute in a significant way to the effective supervision of the industry. [More…]

There has been little discussion within Australia about the problems of aiming simply for economic growth without regard to the effects on, for example, income distribution and the nature of society within developing countries. [More…]
The significance of this increase in our aid to the Pacific region has been its innovative nature. [More…]
So it seems to me that those who would hector and lecture ought to reflect on not merely their own inadequacies but the nature and the delinquency in the administration and nature of aid programs when they were in power. [More…]
However, underlying it all, what is really the test is not the nature of the administration of aid programs, nor indeed the percentage of gross national product- - people can have a fixation about both amounts and percentages- but the nature of those programs whether they are relevant to the needs of the people to whom they are supposedly applied. [More…]
I have no reason to believe that the changing nature of aid administration will adversely affect the Board’s decision. [More…]
-I would suggest that the honourable member for Newcastle knows that a point of order of that nature will not assist. [More…]
On a small point of a technical nature let me say that during that debate the Deputy Leader of the Opposition (Mr Uren) made the assertion that the only thing that the Minister for Environment, Housing and Community Development has done in a public debate in this Parliament has been to reintroduce on the notice paper the uranium debate, that it has been put back on the notice paper only because of the matter of public importance submitted by the Leader of the Opposition. [More…]
It also points to the size and the nature of the unlimited funds that will be at the disposal of the pro-uranium lobby. [More…]
It was more in the nature of a campaign speech for the deputy leadership. [More…]
Man invented states, not nature. [More…]
Man cannot break a basic law of nature- the immutable interdependence of nature, of which man is but a part. [More…]
I wish to raise tonight a serious situation concerning the issue of human rights and what I can only assume to be the most unsatisfactory nature of diplomatic representation by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics in this country. [More…]

My Department is unaware that any officer has received any money in payment for work of a private nature. [More…]
As I understand it, the Australian Council of Trade Unions has, during the course of the last three or four years, agreed to place embargoes on strikes of this nature as they affect Tasmania. [More…]

They are to be commended in saving us from further confusion when this floundering Government was about to break the voluntary nature of the freeze in putting a hardline submission to the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission. [More…]
I would argue that factors such as these, together with the so-called new identity for women which is espoused by the feminist movements, together with the increasing temptations of increased affluence, are all of a long term nature. [More…]
The preface of this Green Paper on immigration policies and Australia’s population indicates that the size, composition and distribution of our population will have a major influence on the nature of our future society. [More…]
The nature and extent of future manpower demands are difficult to predict. [More…]
Some might say that the waiting period should be 12 months or something of that nature. [More…]
Periodically, I suppose, those of us who were born in this country and those of us whose families have lived here for generations remark on the supposedly volatile nature and temperament of a good many people who have come here in recent years. [More…]
Unfortunately, in my view, that situation changed in recent years but hopefully the debate today has restored some of the objectivity and some of the bipartisan nature of previous approaches towards immigration policy. [More…]
What we are all talking about is the future population of Australia, how it is composed, where it comes from, its distribution and the nature of the society which comes from it. [More…]
I hope that the length of the debate in the House and the nature of the contributions will stimulate both individuals and organisations in the community at large to contribute their views to the Government in relation to the matters raised by the Green Paper. [More…]
As a result of that reflection of community views, the Government will be placed in a much better position to development immigration policies which will be acceptable to the nation as a whole and which will bring about the development of Australia, not just in the short term but, most importantly, in the medium and long term, of a size and of a nature which we would all support. [More…]
It is in our power to arrive at urban transport solutions by changing the nature of the problem. [More…]

They have argued that the uniform taxation system was bad and that in conjunction with the growing use of grants under section 96 of the Constitution the truly sovereign nature of State parliaments would be destroyed. [More…]
There are 2 things to be said about this: First of all, although true, the more generous nature of the payment is only a marginal improvement. [More…]
I would rather hope that the services of Mr McCormick- I do not know yet whether this is to be the case; I have not gone into this matter -will be retained and that his association will be of a similar nature with the new amalgamated body to that which he had with the Bureau of [More…]
When one looks at the nature of the parties involved, the experienced Premiers, how could one even allude to any sort of plotting or connivance? [More…]
But the economic problems that this Government faced in 1975 were caused by the nature and character of the former Government and it was the nature and character of the former Government predominantly against which the people revolted. [More…]

Because of the nature of the unemployment benefit and the way in which it can be tied to the motivation of the recipient, the principles of administration may be entirely different. [More…]
The Bill provides also that the payment of special allowances to apprentices under the scheme are to be subject to pay-as-you-earn deductions in the same way as similar allowances in the nature of income. [More…]
The High Court held that the pension concerned fell within the scope of provisions of the law which exempt from tax pensions similar in nature to exempt repatriation disability pensions. [More…]
The Commission believes that the employment effects of its recommendations will be minimal largely as a result of the phase-in nature of its recommendations and the increase in tractor production planned by the industry. [More…]
In considering possible recommendations on the nature and extent of assistance to the local computer industry the Commission has endeavoured to assess the opportunities for local producers to participate in this growth. [More…]
The latter consideration has been seen by the Commission as fundamental to the issues raised by the reference and has been an important factor shaping the nature of its recommendations. [More…]
While a substantial growth in demand for computer equipment, software and other services can be expected as the decreasing costs of computer power make these facilities more accessible, anticipating growth patterns and the precise nature of future requirements must be regarded as highly speculative. [More…]
Proposals submitted in response to invitations to tender should be clearly defined and demonstrably viable and should: state the nature of the Australian industry participation; define penalties in cost and dme resulting from Australian participation proposals. [More…]
I have already indicated the broad application of the integrative nature of the electronics industry which seems to be associated with almost every aspect of the lives of Australians and whose components are used by almost every Australian. [More…]
I pause briefly to express my vicarious satisfaction in the manifest pleasure of the honourable member for Wakefield (Mr Kelly) over the nature of this Bill which he sees at least as a partial vindication of his perennial arguments against the evils of the tariff system in the broad. [More…]
The matter of bounty versus tariff, highlighted by the honourable member for Wakefield (Mr Kelly), is noteworthy as it places fairly and squarely, in identifiable form, the responsibility and the nature of this expenditure inasmuch as it is linked directly and immediately with the continued employment of, in this case, 1600 Australians. [More…]
All too often we have seen in cases of government support, be they subsidies or fundings of other nature, something of a stigma attaching to what is regarded by the populous in general as the primary industry beneficiary. [More…]

From now until then we will have before us Bills of this nature. [More…]
The Government is pleased that in these instances its decisions regarding the nature or the device of assistance to be used has drawn such strong support. [More…]
The Tertiary Education Commission represents a major advance on earlier proposals for 3 main reasons: Firstly, it will include the important area of technical and further education; secondly, it recognises the distinct nature and status of each of the three post-school sectors; and thirdly, it obliges the Commission to consult with appropriate State authorities in the performance of its functions. [More…]
It is important for the future quality of education that those essentially distinctive and authentic characteristics of the various types of tertiary institutions should be preserved and developed, while recognising that the nature of individual units will change and evolve and the need for new-type institutions will emerge. [More…]
One can be excused for believing that the motion assumes that future contracts will be entered into and that what is left to be debated is the nature of the safeguards applying to exports under such contracts. [More…]

That this House notes that the agreement for a halt in incomes and prices, even for 3 months, must, to achieve whatever success is available to it, acknowledge the Federal nature of the Australian industrial system and that such an agreement involving the Commonwealth and the States was signed on 13 April 1977; however, having regard to the very significant constitutional and industrial powers that lie with States whereby some State commissions adjudicate awards for SO per cent of relevant workers, this House notes: [More…]
Bearing in mind that the ratio in 1975-76 was of the nature of three to eight- in other words the general revenue assistance was $3 billion and the total expenditure was $8 billionwill the Prime Minister give an assurance that the ratio will be maintained in the future so that irrespective of what amount is given by way of general revenue assistance the same ratio is also given for general purpose capital funds and specific purpose repayments thereby avoiding the necessity for the States to levy their own income tax?

We believe very strongly that the proper democratic forum- that is, the election of people at elections- is the way in which to see who ought to govern and the nature of the opposition itself. [More…]
But despite this, all of those 7 gentlemen believed on 13 April that the nature of the circumstances in which we live in Australia at the present time demanded this type of bipartisan approach. [More…]
One would want a conference of that nature to succeed only if one were prepared to support the objective in principle. [More…]
Frankly, previous Liberal and National Counry Party governments- let us face it- because of their conservative nature and philosophy, had virtually ignored that need. [More…]
I am, of course, referring to the interventionism of the so-called wage and price freeze which is before us at the present time, particularly now that it is compulsory and no longer voluntary in nature. [More…]

The situation may be summed up by saying that the difficulties of this industry depend upon the overwhelming truism and simple fact that it cannot run an unfunded scheme and that the nature of the funding of that scheme lies at the heart of what one considers in relation to any insurance industry. [More…]
But the disputes that arise in insurance are of a technical nature. [More…]
It is correct to pursue a policy where such investments are long dated because the liabilities of the offices are of a long term nature. [More…]
Whilst the nature of the Australian capital market precludes switching of the large amounts of stocks already held there is no reason why an office, when subscribing to a new government loan, should not restrict itself to the short end if it thinks those rates will rise. [More…]
The nature of these companies’ investment is somewhat different from that of life offices as their liabilities are of a much shorter term nature. [More…]
It was found in Great Britain that because of the very nature of the insurance industry different criteria applied in that industry from those applying to an ordinary company on the stock exchange. [More…]
So, while indices provide a useful guide in assessing whether the basis is up to date, it is necessary in view of the long-term nature of life insurance that liabilities are valued conservatively, thus ensuring stability of the industry. [More…]
Above all, what is the nature of the decisions which will come out of that consultation in terms of the interest rate for the assessment of the minimum rate of value of liabilities in the various statutory funds according to Schedule 2? [More…]
We recognise the need to seek greater co-ordination between the bodies involved in tertiary education and we believe much of the value of the 2 Commissions has stemmed from their distinctive nature. [More…]
One of the real problems in this area is that many people avoid remedial courses of this nature because of the embarrassment that may be caused to them personally. [More…]
I am aware of the immense significance that a strike of this nature could have to [More…]
If so, will the Prime Minister now apologise to the House and the nation for having given a completely misleading account of what transpired at the Premiers Conference and for having distorted the true nature of the heads of government agreement? [More…]
I am saying that they have a different nature. [More…]
The second point that worries me, apart from the fact that the guidelines really are beginning to overthrow the nature of the commission system, is the eclipsing of the Technical and Further Education Commission when it had existed for only 2 years. [More…]
The Tertiary Education Commission represents a major advance on earlier proposals for 3 main reasons: Firstly, it will include the important area of technical and further education; secondly, it recognises the distinct nature and status of each of the 3 post-school sectors; and thirdly, it obliges the Commission to consult with appropriate State authorities in the performance of its functions. [More…]
It is important for the future quality of education that those essentially distinctive and authentic characteristics of the various types of tertiary institutions should be preserved and developed, while recognising that the nature of individual units will change and evolve and the need for new-type institutions will emerge. [More…]
In my second reading speech in 1974, as the then Minister for Housing and Construction, I mentioned that this program was of a temporary nature while a survey of pensioners was made by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. [More…]
The second point I make is that both the report of the Commission of Inquiry into Poverty and the 1974 aged persons housing survey establish that the nature of occupancy is central to determining the extent of poverty. [More…]
I hope that others- I will not use the description for which I was called to order a moment agowill not again use the pensioners of this country as a means by which to stir up political propaganda of a cheap and unworthy nature. [More…]
I want to draw attention tonight to 2 subjects of a very parochial nature. [More…]

Obviously, because of the nature of this statute there will be argument throughout this entire debate and argument even after the debate is concluded, no matter whether it is concluded tonight or in 6 months time, as to what the Act in its amended form in certain areas means. [More…]
Notwithstanding the arguments which the honourable member for Corio has put, I do not believe that the change in this area is of such a nature that it is not possible to form a view as to whether one supports or opposes the change. [More…]

I know that no argument that I will be able to adduce in the few moments I intend to take tonight will be sufficient to persuade any member of the Opposition that it is appropriate to include a clause of this nature in a trade practices Bill, or indeed that this provision is other than a deliberate attempt by the Government to discriminate against the trade union movement. [More…]
The honourable member made the very valid point that, if the Government wishes to confer an advantage of this nature on small business, then as far as possible that advantage should be equally available throughout Australia and the drawing up of the provision should not be such as to provide for an advantage being more readily available in, say, Sydney than in Perth or Hobart.

[More…]

An inquiry of this nature is a judicial inquiry. [More…]
So I move from that to talk more specifically about the nature of some of the dismantling of the five-year defence program outlined in the White Paper for which the Minister was responsible and which he presented to this Parliament on 22 September this year. [More…]
If the Government is cutting into programs which make demands on our external account, that has particular significance which is beyond the general nature of economic discussion in the community. [More…]
The nature of that balance of payments deficit problem is this: Following the devaluation of late last year exports have not picked up as much as the Government had hoped. [More…]
So our electronics industry ought to be maintained not just for the purposes of employment in this country, which I regard as important, but because of its vital nature with regard to defence. [More…]

Has the Queensland Government ever put forward a proposal either directly or through the appropriate Commission for the establishment of a technical college at Redcliffe in the Electoral Division of Petrie; if so, on what dates were the submissions made and what was their nature. [More…]
In doing so I draw the attention of the House to the serious nature of the matters concerned and the great importance- [More…]
-The honourable gentleman is required to inform me of the nature of the course of action. [More…]

I endorse what the Chairman of the Committee has said when he indicated that the members of the Committee are unanimous in the view that the alcohol problem among the Aboriginal people is of such a serious nature that no member of the Committee who returns to the next parliament would be prepared to see inaction on the recommendations that have been made. [More…]

Committees should be concerned with the nature and comprehensibility of the financial information presented to the Parliament. [More…]
It is unfortunate that the public at large appears to have the impression that Parliament is little more than a venue for gladiatorial contests between political parties and because of the nature of the system it is unaware of the considerable work done by parliamentarians of all parties behind the scenes in committees such as that of public accounts. [More…]
The high cost nature of the Australian market for passenger vehicles is confirmed by details of prices of similar vehicles in other major vehicle markets. [More…]

It is the general procedure of the House to allow some minutes of introductory comments which frequently are of a political nature. [More…]
Until 1968 the industry was of a casual nature. [More…]
That all words after ‘That’ be omitted with a view to substituting the following words: ‘whilst not declining to give the Bill a second reading, the House is of the opinion that the Bill (a) contains changes to the personal tax system which are regressive in nature and which will have little effect in stimulating economic activity, (b) repudiates the Government’s commitment to full tax indexation, (c) fails to take measures to alleviate the increase in family tax burdens which have arisen as a result of the Government’s failure to index family allowances, and (d) contains insufficient measures to counter tax avoidance practices ‘. [More…]
2) 1977, he emphasised this point and repeated his belief in the revolutionary nature of the new system. [More…]
Unfortunately, the revolutionary nature of the change does not stem from any of the differences the Treasurer found between the new scales and those previously in operation. [More…]
The changes made are unashamedly regressive in nature, as we say in the amendment. [More…]
This is the essence of the regressive nature of the changes. [More…]
I would like to explain to those people that the Government’s attitude is not to do anything of a detrimental nature to genuine trusts, but the Government is sincere in its desire to clamp down on the various tax avoidance schemes which have been built around trusts in the past. [More…]
This legislation provides for an extension of that investment allowance for a further two years, designed mainly to assist those organisations that are involved in investment of a very large and continuing nature, in construction programs that extend for many years and in expansion programs that require a number of years to complete. [More…]
May I say that the Treasurer in putting forward this legislation has no desire to disadvantage those trusts of a genuine nature, as I mentioned previously. [More…]

[More…]
Has the Treasurer informed him the full nature of his financial interests and responsibilities? [More…]
This Government has created unemployment that is not only different in degree from anything in modern experience but also different in its nature from anything that has gone before. [More…]
But, because the policies which have produced this record unemployment are intrinsic to the very nature and purpose of this Government itself, the only way the policies can be changed is by changing the Government. [More…]

[More…]
In the light of the nature of the role of the Grants Commission it is clear, in spite of claims to the contrary by the Queensland State Government, that the ability of that Government to improve the standards of public services falls considerably short of what other States are able to provide. [More…]
It is on rare occasions that I mention anything of a parochial nature. [More…]
I related those figure to Parliament tonight because companies of this nature too often are run down by people who do not realise their benefit to Australia both in developing the industry and in providing employment for good Australians. [More…]
There has been a great deal of misunderstanding in the minds of the people of Queenstown on the nature of the LAC report and the procedure to be followed in handing down the report and making decisions based on the report. [More…]

[More…]
It seems to me that this device is the only insurance we have against those evils coming about because the Minister has no autocratic power to determine policies on the nature of broadcasting systems. [More…]
It seems perfectly logical to me that the elected Government should determine the nature of our systems and, having done that, to hand over to the Australian Broadcasting Tribunal the power to apply the statutes- not to usurp from the elected representatives the responsibility for determining the nature of the system but to apply the criteria determined by this Government as to the system we should have. [More…]
In addressing oneself to a Bill of this nature one should be aware that broadcasting and television services in Australia are not restricted to the great metropolitan areas. [More…]

They have been subject to commission reports and the various commission reports should be considered because of the criticisms they contain of the sorts of guidelines that this Government has laid down- not only the guidelines which do not allow for real growth in expenditure but which are so restrictive in their nature that they prevent the commissions from making the true choice in the allocations of funds on needs. [More…]
I have said this jokingly sometimes: If by some jest of nature the Australian continent were turned upside down overnight so that all of us were drowned, we would be the least missed country in the world and the greatest grievers would be Greece and Italy which have supplied our most recently arrived migrants. [More…]
Consumers find it very difficult, because of a lack of funds, to participate in all discussions of bodies of this nature. [More…]
It relates to the evidence about the nature of the transaction. [More…]

[More…]
The Committee went on to talk about the possibility of an insurance company purchasing a wrong chair, or something of that nature. [More…]

It was only after the Labor Government set up the Hope inquiry into the National Estate that there was any real change in the attitude to preserving some of our national heritage whether man-made or by nature. [More…]
History has recorded in its pages many instances of complete destruction when people have challenged nature. [More…]
It also has recorded that when people have worked with nature they have lived to enjoy the benefits of that co-operation. [More…]

We have continued to subscribe in a very vigorous way to and have provided leadership for two councilsthe Australian Environmental Council and the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers. [More…]
Ever since I entered this Parliament we have had discussions of this nature. [More…]
I did this not just because I felt that what was being done here on the economic scene was wrong; I did it also because I believed that what was being done here was part of something on a world scene which was being done wrong and that the establishment, by its restrictive policies, by its failure to understand the real nature of the economic process, was precipitating the world again into 1929. [More…]
He should have been tougher but it was not in his nature to be as tough as he should have been on the type of people with whom he was dealing. [More…]

[More…]
With reference to his requirement for Ministers to inform him of the full nature of their financial interests and responsibilities (Hansard, 16 August 1977, page 9), has his attention been drawn to a report in the Australian Financial Review of 3 November 1977 of a statement by a director of Grosvenor Nominees Pty Ltd, in which Mr Peter Leake has sworn that the Treasurer has a pecuniary interest, that the company merely acts as a nominee company and that if someone is uncomfortable about his name appearing in a share register he can use the company to register his holding.

I feel that the explanation published by the newspaper suggests that the newspaper was not as careful as it might have been in making clear the real nature of that advertisement. [More…]
He ought to be aware of the highly qualified youth who visit our electorate offices daily, disillusioned with society and this Government because all their studies are wasted as they go out on the street to work with a pick and shovel if they are lucky enough to be able to find employment of that nature. [More…]

[More…]
That is the nature of the problem facing us. [More…]
I ask him: What about the oil pricing policy and a few other policies of that nature of his Party? [More…]

From time to time there will be circumstances where short term problems are of such a nature and of such basic importance that they are immediately critical to the long term future of the industry. [More…]

[More…]
On this occasion, the first occasion on which I speak as the member for Dundas, I would like members of the House to know a little of the nature of the electorate and of its problems. [More…]

I suggest that if the Government wants Mr Justice Hope to hold any inquiry then it should set up an inquiry headed by him to find out just what did happen at the Hilton Hotel on Monday morning of last week, how it happened and who was responsible for the obvious failures in the general nature of security at that hotel. [More…]

The way in which government can assist these industries in a general sense- this has been done over the past 2 years by this Government- is to look at their cost factors and to assist them in overcoming increasing costs which result from inflation, high interest rates and factors of a general nature which affect the whole community. [More…]
At various points in the Governor-General’s Speech the increasingly diverse nature of Australian society is acknowledged. [More…]

That sounds very good but if one cares to analyse the situation one realises that any Bill that comes into this House by its very nature must be debated by the Parliament- not only by this House but by the other place as well. [More…]
Schemes surrounding outer suburbs of capital cities of a comparatively small nature should, of course, be financed and built by State authorities. [More…]
The first concerns the nature of the proposed Act and the second concerns the control we will be able to exercise through this Parliament. [More…]
Let me remind honourable members of the nature of that damage. [More…]
The income tax cuts will increase disposable income and help to raise the overall level of demand but the benefit will be reduced greatly by using only half tax indexation in the middle of this year and by the biased nature of the tax cuts. [More…]

Indeed, last May Cabinet rejected a proposal to conduct a major inquiry into the nature of the present unemployment situation. [More…]
However, in many other ways, as I have indicated in the amendment, the Government will probably go too far and in doing so, threaten the very nature of the IAC. [More…]

We have only to look at what has happened in recent years to see the nonsensical nature of this directive. [More…]
That is the element, the nature and the requirement of its independence. [More…]
No matter how we change the rules of the IAC and irrespective of the nature of the report it brings back, the Government cannot do one thing. [More…]
This alters the competitive nature of Australian industry to its detriment. [More…]
When one looks at this whole argument it seems that it overlooks the way in which manufacturing industry in Australia has developed over the years in what I would describe as the regional nature of manufacturing industry. [More…]
I say to this House- we all have to look at thisthat the nature of mineral development involves a high degree of technology and in many areas it is not particularly a labour intensive industry. [More…]
The governments of other nations in the Western world, by virtue of their geographic location and the nature of their work force, work on the basis that any worker will be retrained during the course of his working life up to three times. [More…]

Part of the nature of this country is the development of political pressure groups on a State basis. [More…]
Is the nature of the links of the Australian Government with Taiwan completely acceptable to China, that is, to Peking? [More…]

If a full understanding of the precise nature of its examination had been in the Government’s mind at that point, different decisions might well have been made earlier. [More…]
I can only say that it leaves a very unpleasant flavour in one’s mouth to find that the Prime Minister should be goaded into action by IBM Australia, an organisation which in recent times has had association with the Government of such a nature that it was able to persuade the Government to change the trade practices law contrary to firm attitudes expressed by the Government at an earlier stage. [More…]
Having created record unemployment they appeal to all that is worst in human nature and campaign against the jobless, labelling them bludgers. [More…]

Mr Deputy Speaker, I seek leave to incorporate in Hansard a list which gives some simple examples of the nature of these suppressive laws and regulations. [More…]
Perhaps it is time to encourage a different view of society and of the nature of the individual in society. [More…]
This would of course depend on the nature of the charging arrangements that were introduced. [More…]
As the Australian Financial Review points out today, there are at least half a dozen precedents this year of the nature of the Harragan one. [More…]
The Bill also includes provisions of an administrative nature. [More…]
Because of the shortterm nature of the proposal, provision has been made for the scheme to cease on 30 June 1 979 or such earlier date as is fixed by proclamation. [More…]
Calls from the Metal Trades Industries Association of Australia, the Housing Industry Association and the Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Ltd for more expansionary policies are among a whole stream of calls of that nature from what one would think would be from the point of view of honourable members opposite highly respectable circles, but this Government goes on blindly with its policy of attacking inflation first.

The first level relates to the status and the nature of a ministerial statement. [More…]
I am sure that I voice the views of every person sitting in this Parliament when I say that it would be absurd in the extreme to think that a committee of that nature would be exposed to, or would be vulnerable in the least to, any blandishment that could be offered by any company in this country. [More…]
Honourable members will recall that the first suggestions for a new collective approach of a non-military nature to the problems of the region came from the last Labor Government. [More…]
I do not think that we recognise the integrated nature of society and the importance of each individual. [More…]

I think that in the case of Barker the situation is probably more difficult because the ‘L ‘-shaped nature of the electorate tends to increase the amount of travelling time with which the local member has to contend. [More…]
In my electorate, where by its very nature the unemployment rate is high, the youth rate was about 21 per cent of the total at the end of February. [More…]
The Gill figures reveal the situation only with regard to males but in the past few weeks a project conducted by four Melbourne students under the control of a professional social worker entitled ‘A Study of Homeless Women in Melbourne’ has unveiled a crisis in Melbourne that the nature of the homeless women problem generally has hidden from society. [More…]
But I reject, as I feel bound to do by the nature of the wording of the question, any implication that this Government has not stood by Israel’s right to exist. [More…]
The point that is often overlooked in relation to railway services is that because of the historic nature of those services- because railways were in so many ways the pioneers of our development during the latter part of the last century and the early part of this century and because of the role that they play in pioneering development- communities and activities tended to develop around the rail corridors which were established. [More…]
Of course, the two governments were in philosophical agreement about the nature of the railways takeover. [More…]
It exposes the Dunstan Labor Government as being similar in nature to the Whitlam Labor Government which this country suffered from 1972 to 1975 as regards financial management. [More…]
I realise that for those intelligent people in this House who are taking an interest in a complex measure such as this- of course that includes everyone on my side of the House- my speech is of a riveting nature, and they are enjoying learning about this complicated measure. [More…]
The nature of the thinking involved in this Bill, in the proposals it makes, and in the IAC report deserves to be applauded by the House both for its sense and for its balance. [More…]
The Parliament and Ministers in Parliament suffer because of the nature of that report. [More…]
It is an inevitable requirement of overcoming our present dilemma that there should be some common understanding among Australians as to the nature of our dilemma and the formula that might lead us into the more prosperous times that Australia might freely regard as its entitlement, being a land that is so bountifully served by national resources. [More…]
Each Contracting Party shall promote the conservation of wetlands and waterfowl by establishing nature reserves on wetlands, whether they are included in the List or not, and provide adequately for their wardening [More…]
Without establishing the nature of her complaint or dealing with her courteously, her passport was taken from her, her personal effects were demanded, her cosmetics case was confiscated and the articles were spread on the floor. [More…]
Mankind has already entered into a ‘Faustian bargain’ with Nature, trading evident and desirable increases in material standards of living for unknown and unforeseen costs. [More…]
Why then should there be any special concern now about the nature of this bargain? [More…]
But the nature of the bargain is now one where the losers are future generations who, by definition, have no voice and hence no chance to alter the behaviour of current generations. [More…]
The other matters to which the honourable gentleman has referred are of a serious nature and I shall have them referred to the Attorney-General and report the details to the honourable gentleman just as soon as I can. [More…]
It is impossible in a debate of this nature to recount the hundreds of incidents that have taken place even during the past 30 years but let me recount a few of the more heinous of these crimes.’ [More…]
-Mr Deputy Speaker, as you will appreciate, honourable members are always at a disadvantage when matters of this nature come before the House. [More…]
Perhaps it would have been better if the Prime Minister and the Government had first of all instituted a royal commission into the whole operation of the oil industry so that the real nature of that industry and the exploitation of the Australian people by the large oil companies could have been properly examined. [More…]
It can adopt that amendment that is before the House and in doing that it would at least recognise the nature and the dimension of this problem and move into a position where it could take further action to deal with it. [More…]
But there is a distinction between the pricing arrangements that the oil companies make through their retail outlets and the nature of the Bill. [More…]
This is just a matter of temporising, of fooling around with the whole nature of the petroleum system. [More…]
-I want to indicate the nature of the problem. [More…]
The Government believes that it should not be tolerated in a normal civilised society that specific groups can determine the nature and extent of Australia ‘s exports. [More…]
Thirdly, can he tell us what is the nature and role of No. [More…]
At this time I must take time to compliment both those bodies for the comprehensive and valuable nature of those reports. [More…]
We could set up some low level force which would do a job of some nature with equipment which would be paid for either by reducing the amount of funds available to the defence forces for their operations or by an additional appropriation of funds. [More…]
I suppose it would not matter all that much if all these vessels caught most of the fish that they look for now, but there is no doubt that Australia’s fishing resources are of a limited nature and we must not allow them to be taken from us. [More…]
To curb abuses of the system by both doctors and patients through the use of unnecessary services, particularly pathology services; to end the open-ended nature of the Commonwealth financial commitment to the States under the original hospital cost-sharing arrangements; to restore the competitive position of private hospitals by ensuring that public hospital charges were raised to more realistic levels; to ensure that benefits are no longer paid to relieve governments, public authorities and employees of costs that would, but for Medibank, have been borne by them; to legislate so that insurers accept their responsibility in workers compensation and third party insurance cases; to introduce major improvements to the Nursing Home Benefits Scheme to give financial security to all patients and share the financial load with the private health funds. [More…]
A great deal of the response of the conservatives in the coalition parties has in fact been of this nature. [More…]
It is the nature of many Government spokesmen to suggest that bulk billing, which we introduced as part of the Medibank scheme, was responsible for a substantial increase in the cost of health insurance. [More…]
In discussing the nature of cost increases, certain increases took place when we were in government that were thoroughly justified. [More…]
His proposals for possible solutions, of course, will be the centre of keen discussion, but no specific solutions can really be forthcoming until there is a general community awareness of the size and nature of the problem. [More…]
The nature of the system might have been different, but the principle and the thought behind it were similar. [More…]
Clearly the nature of the industry, the long-term investment period and other factors necessitated government assistance. [More…]
The funds are available to non-metropolitan centres with sound growth prospects, for projects of a capital nature which generate additional long term employment. [More…]
My Government had earlier arranged for a review of Departments ‘ purchases of newspapers and periodicals of a general nature. [More…]
) The nature and cost of advertising was: [More…]
For the information of honourable members I present the summary report of the sixth meeting of the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers, Cairns, 29 July 1977, and the summary record of proceedings of the ninth meeting of the Australian Environment Council, Canberra, 1 1 August 1977. [More…]
The very nature of that sector makes close involvement between public broadcasters and the communities they hope to serve axiomatic. [More…]
The nature of the broadcasting system in Australia until quite recently, together with the physical limitations of the availability of broadcasting frequencies, has tended to serve mass audiences well but to overlook those members of the various mass groupings with additional and quite specific interests outside those catered for in mass appeal programming. [More…]
On the same page of the statement reference is made to the very nature of the public broadcasting sector which makes close involvement between public broadcasters and the communities they hope to serve. [More…]
They would have given Aboriginal people land rights and they would have ended the sweeping, intrusive and coercive powers of the Queensland Director of Aboriginal Affairs- powers, intrusive and coercive in their nature, which no white person would tolerate. [More…]
We hear so much from the Minister in this Parliament and elsewhere about the special quality and nature of the relationship between Aboriginal people and land. [More…]
I believe that it is very important that Aboriginals in their own communities are able to make those decisions which affect their well-being and they are able to make decisions as to whether they wish to be assimilated, if that is the nature of the Queensland Government’s policy and approach, as against a slower and more gradual approach which, I believe, would be to their benefit. [More…]
To suggest otherwise shows a total misunderstanding of the nature of law and its effect. [More…]
For a senior public servant to become deeply involved in political argument of this nature I think is scandalous. [More…]
I ask the Minister to accept amendments Nos 5 to 8 which change the nature and the balance of forces in clause 5. [More…]
That explosion was not attributable to a grain handling operation and fortunately was of a relatively minor nature with no permanent serious personal injury resulting. [More…]
If so, what was the nature of the representations and what action resulted from them. [More…]
The terms of each contract for the sale of news bulletins are, like normal business transactions of this nature, confidential between the parties. [More…]
Government to government negotiations by their very nature must be confidential. [More…]
Is there any truth in Fourth Estate suggestions that foreign secret service agents are now applying personally to the Prime Minister for visas to enter Australia for purposes of a vacational and vocational nature? [More…]
This is a matter that is concerning us greatly and any requests from industry to investigate dumping action of this nature will be dealt with expeditiously by my Department and appropriate action will be taken. [More…]
For example, if the Land Fund Commission were to buy a farm or something of that nature for an economic purpose as well as for a social purpose, inevitably there will be an on-going financial commitment upon the Government. [More…]
the extent and nature of possible conflict between the objective of reducing unemployment and other policy objectives. [More…]
I have selected these three terms of reference from a much wider range of terms of reference of one committee to show that the Government’s refusal to accept our proposal to establish a joint committee on unemployment is a blatant political decision taken at the highest level of the Government- in this case by the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser), who believes that the sole aim of the Opposition in having a committee of this nature is to embarrass the Government. [More…]
So it is odd but welcome to see someone from the Opposition acknowledging the extent and nature of possible conflict between the objective of reducing unemployment and other policy objectives. [More…]
In these circumstances, to include members of the Labor Party in investigations into the nature, extent and incidence of unemployment, into the social implications of unemployment and an examinaton of employment-creating schemes operating in overseas countries would be nothing more than a sham, an empty political exercise and a hypocritical one at that. [More…]
Why should there not be a committee of this nature looking at those kinds of contributions which are being made overseas to overcome the unemployment problem and the extent to which unemployment could be reduced by implementing and extending manpower programs? [More…]
I should like to concentrate on paragraphs ( 1 ) and (2) of the motion, which deal with the extent of unemployment and the degree to which it has become a long term problem, and paragraph (7), which deals with the extent and nature of possible conflict between the objective of reducing unemployment and other policy objectives. [More…]
Coming to the last question, that is, the extent and nature of possible conflict between the objectives of reducing unemployment and other policy objectives. [More…]
Because of the nature of world sugar trade it has long been accepted that some form of regulation of supplies on the so-called free market is essential if sugar producers are to receive reasonable and stable returns for their product and if sugar consumers are to be assured of reliable and stable supplies at reasonable prices. [More…]
I do not think that people would normally join the Forestry Commission unless they were of that nature. [More…]
We import quite a lot of softwood timber products in the form of fruit racks, milk cartons and items of that nature. [More…]
As I mentioned earlier, a tree on a plantation which was previously bare ground must be something of an improvement to the nature or the character of the land. [More…]
In the Opposition’s view it is fair and reasonable that where there are criminal proceedings against a person there must be restrictions on admissibility of evidence, because of the serious nature of those proceedings. [More…]
In other words, they would be records which are not just minor records but which are of a major nature and could not all be signed. [More…]
This results from a very important rule, that is, that records are of their very nature second hand evidence, and documents cannot stand up in a witness box and be cross-examined. [More…]
We also thought that the Bill should be withdrawn and redrafted to prevent preparations in Australia for incursions in foreign countries on the basis that there would be a stockpiling of weapons, training, drilling, recruitment or any action at all that could be deemed to be of a preparatory nature to hostilities in foreign countries. [More…]
The Opposition objects most strongly to the fact that clause 7 still allows action of this nature to take place on the basis of being deemed to be on behalf of the government of a foreign country that we recognise. [More…]
Are we to have a situation in Australia in which people can urge the stockpiling of weapons, drill armies and engage in other matters of that nature in order to support some action on behalf of the Portuguese Government? [More…]
The acts referred to in clause 7 are not illegal unless they are of a preparatory nature to an offence against clause 6. [More…]
A few years ago examples were claimed of breakaway groups training in Australia or mounting activities of a paramilitary nature. [More…]
Let us not create legislation which by its very nature will become impossible to enforce and will create more problems for the Attorney-General of the day because of its provisions, which, given some of the situations which historically have arisen in Australia, are difficult and complex enough to be dealt with by the government of the day but which certainly will not be solved in any way at all by this legislation. [More…]
This House should demand a cool explanation of the nature, form and possibilities of terrorism in this society, some critical examination of the threats we need to guard against. [More…]
It is an unfortunate fact that in situations of this nature some parts of the media tend to lay stress on the ethnic background of people involved. [More…]
I would hope that all areas of the media in reporting instances of this nature would keep in mind the effect that their reports can have on the successful integration of people into the broader Australian community. [More…]
On the one hand, publicly, he pretends to support Aboriginal welfare programs which are of the same nature as those which the Aboriginal movement presents and on the other, privately, he enters into sleazy, secret deals with the Queensland Government, allowing the Government of that State to maintain raciallybased policies on Aboriginal welfare. [More…]
I say at once that the honourable gentleman does not understand the nature of the legislation establishing the Aboriginal Land Fund Commission. [More…]
I would have thought that it would have been in the interests of Aboriginal people throughout Australia to look at the possible conjunction of the activities of the Land Fund Commission and the Aboriginal entitlement capital account referred to in the policy statement of the present Government of November 1975 and also to look at that account and its particular nature related to the question of dispossession and dispersal of Aboriginals which, as I pointed out, is the very fundamental purpose for the creation of the Commission along with other activities in this area of the Department and other instrumentalities of the Government, namely the Loans Commission and the grants-in-aid for enterprise purposes provided by the Government. [More…]
Due to the complex technical nature of the legislation the Government does not intend to resume the debate on the Bill for at least a few weeks to allow adequate opportunity for comment on the technical aspects of the Bill. [More…]
The Corporation requires this power in the event that its funds, which are derived from a levy on exports of fresh apples and pears and a levy on apples and pears used for both processing and for sale on fresh fruit markets, are not sufficient to meet promotional expenditure costs of the seasonal nature of the receipts. [More…]
I refer now to the other half of this legislation, the half concerning pears, because as is usual in debates of this nature, particularly with Tasmanian members of Parliament and to a certain extent my friends the honourable member for Hume (Mr Lusher) and the honourable member for Calare (Mr MacKenzie), the subject has been apples. [More…]
The Bill does not state to what extent the Corporation is having difficulties or the nature of them. [More…]
Highly skilled and innovative persons sensitive to the special requirements of the Aboriginal people and sensitive to the unique nature of the environment in the Alligator Rivers region will be needed to ensure the success of the Government’s intentions in this field. [More…]
Certain minor amendments of an administrative nature are also proposed to update the Act. [More…]
It is now considered that safeguards requirements are both regulatory and prohibitive in nature. [More…]
A number of minor amendments of an administrative nature are also proposed. [More…]
We noted particularly the very specialised nature of the nuclear industry, the likelihood of potential hazards involved in the nuclear fuel cycle and the limited extent of the nuclear industry in Australia at present. [More…]
However, it is our judgment, after considering all relevant factors, that a contingency provision of this nature is a proper and responsible discharge of our duty to provide for the health and safety of people in Australia, and the environment. [More…]
In this regard the Government is presently examining the nature of environmental requirements, consistent with the environmental controls agreed on by the Government last August, that would be included in the grant of a mining authority to the Ranger consortium. [More…]
It is not in the nature of the public broadcasting licences as they are proposed to provide those services which are provided by the commercial and national networks. [More…]
Because of the nature of public broadcasting, many stations there have in fact gone broke. [More…]
Has his attention been drawn to the observation included at page 136 of the Report of the Inquiry that the laboratories have gold plated windows; if so, what is the nature of the windows used in the laboratories. [More…]
2, 1 refer you, Mr Speaker, to the nature of that motion. [More…]
I also suggest that the alteration of the articles of the society brings in the question of whether alterations of that nature accord with the relevant State legislation, because the body in question is registered under the laws of the State of Victoria. [More…]
If it were suggested that moneys of this nature be made available to some of the less popular organisations in this country, honourable members opposite would be on their feet demanding to know exactly where, why and how the funds were to be used. [More…]
The Minister should be very pleased with the nature of the debate that has followed his statement. [More…]
I will not comment on the accuracy or otherwise of those despatches from the confidentiality of the party room, but I was interested to note that afterwards I got many letters and telephone calls of congratulation from people who said ‘Good on you for sticking up for the ABC, or ‘Thanks for protecting the ABC, and other messages of that nature. [More…]
One gets complaints about particular groups controlling the licence or, in the case of ethnic radio programs, a particular faction in an ethnic community getting control of the hour’s time slot for that particular ethnic community and putting over propaganda which is divisive in its nature and which produces tensions within that ethnic community. [More…]
A local newspaper cannot produce the sort of journalism that one finds in the Melbourne Truth or in the Sunday Observer or newspapers of that nature because local newspapers fundamentally are dependent on the goodwill of their local communities and the sort of feedback they get from them. [More…]
I expect what he means is that in these public broadcasting stations it will be possible for a sponsor to have his message put across by the announcer saying, ‘The following quarter hour is brought to you courtesy of Joe Bloggs, your friendly local butcher’, or ‘The following municipal information is brought to you by the Croydon City Council’, or giving some brief message of that nature. [More…]
Much depends upon the precise nature of the legislation which has to be determined by agreement in discussions and consultations between the Commonwealth Minister and State Ministers and officials. [More…]
I must say that there was some extensive and, as the agreement notes, earnest and sometimes vigorous discussion in relation to it, but I believe that the nature of the agreement indicates that both governments approached the matter with cooperation foremost in their minds. [More…]
One may well ask, in view of the nature of the interjection, just how seriously the honourable member regards this distressing situation. [More…]
-Before I call the Minister I point out that a question of this nature, calling for such detailed informaton over such a period, is beyond being what could be regarded as a reasonable question to ask of a Minister. [More…]
Of course the honourable gentleman, being a resident of Queensland, would appreciate that any local government is, by its very name and nature, a self-governing or self-managing authority in respect of the area over which it has authority. [More…]
I have at no time withheld from you the nature of my pecuniary interests. [More…]
So clearly, on the former Treasurer’s own statement, the Prime Minister knew or ought to have known or was in fact fully informed by the former Treasurer of the nature of that right honourable gentleman’s business transactions and dealings. [More…]
He was appointed when the parameters for development and initial planning guidelines were being established, and the nature of the role that he played in land development on the Mornington Peninsula in the two years in which he was chairman meant that Mr Leake was an active participant in all the relevant planning decisions in the Westernport area. [More…]
To answer that question one has to understand the nature of existing developments and what occurred in Hastings to very many old sub-divisions. [More…]
Not only did they not present the facts in a manner and form which demonstrated that they had an understanding of the nature of the events in the days when their Party was in government, but also they said nothing until, perhaps, the honourable member for Lalor (Mr Barry Jones) said that really it was all a matter of revenge. [More…]
It is important that this Parliament should realise that the honourable gentleman indicated by the nature of all that he said that it was really a matter of revenge. [More…]
Many of the services provided to travelling Australians are essential and humanitarian in nature. [More…]
By their very nature, most of these development projects encompass a range of activities from initial design through to actual construction and purchase of equipment. [More…]
Nature put the people of Western Australia to their biggest test and uncovered a combination of fortitude and inadequacy. [More…]
There are, in addition, the usual provisions of a Bill of this nature concerning the appointment, terms of office and remuneration of Council members, and acting members, and related matters. [More…]
We can find nothing of that nature in this statement except a euphemistic sort of statement which says: ‘We will encourage the long term development of more competitive industries’. [More…]
One would have thought that the Deputy Prime Minister when making a statement of this nature could have indicated how the Government will help the travel industry and encourage people to come to this country. [More…]
In other words, if there are penalties for late delivery and matters of that nature surely we would expect a better performance than that. [More…]
It is, in addition to the continental shelf legislation already in place, the first of a number of measures which will be taken to create a full exclusive economic zone, when the nature of that zone is more clearly defined by international agreement. [More…]
There are also other amendments of a minor nature, many of which relate to providing reference to the Australian fishing zone throughout the Act as appropriate. [More…]
The other amendment is of a machinery nature only and results from certain amendments to the Continental Shelf (Living Natural Resources) Amendment Bill 1973 which were moved and accepted in the Senate. [More…]
In the case of a person who has privileges, such as the right of access to this building or something of that nature, it can remove that right of access or in some other way reprimand the person concerned. [More…]
However, because of the nature of the items in the report I am not sure whether this includes a minor component for operations other than airline activities. [More…]
A copy of a Press release has just been made available to me and I am seriously concerned at the nature of what is contained in it. [More…]
The decisions that will be made by the Minister for Transport (Mr Nixon) in the coming months regarding aviation reviews are most important and will affect the whole nature of aviation in Australia in the years to come. [More…]
-One can agree with the previous speakers that both of the Bills dealt with in this cognate debate are unexceptional in nature. [More…]
So quite clearly the House can expect very little of a contractive nature from the honourable member for Shortland. [More…]
In fact some of the States, recognising the unsatisfactory nature of clause 8, made lengthy submissions to the Minister urging that the full $300m of the program be allocated at the beginning and that it be incorporated in the schedule of this Bill. [More…]
The national estate financial program, established to look after what has been created by man and nature- that which is unique and beautiful- was undermined. [More…]
So that history is not improperly recorded, I inform the House, for the benefit of those who do not know, that it was as a result of an Australian Transport Advisory Council meeting in South Australia in July 1972 at which I tabled a report of the Bureau of Transport Economics on the needs of urban public transport that the first Bill of this nature was introduced in 1973 after the change in government. [More…]
There is a relationship between this Bill and urban planning, and there is a lot of work done by the Australian Transport Advisory Council and the State Ministers on the impact of urban transport expenditure of this nature on urban planning and urban growth as a whole. [More…]
There is a difference between myself and the Commission over the nature and extent of the Government’s commitment made at the last election where the Commission believed that the promise to extend the free line plant entitlement from 12 kilometres to 16 kilometres should be with respect only to those areas which are programmed for conversion to automatic within two years or where there is already an automatic exchange. [More…]
With a considerable part, but by no means all, of unemployment cyclical in nature there would, on the face of it. [More…]
The honourable member also asks me about the nature of discussions which were held with the Prime Minister of Japan and with other Japanese Ministers. [More…]
If so, will he indicate clearly the nature of the reductions and the areas where the reductions will fall? [More…]
I am not sure about the nature of this so-called get-to-know’ campaign of the Leader. [More…]
Charter operators by their very nature cannot expect to be given a guaranteed monopoly by governments. [More…]
Perhaps there have been instances of bank managers making these excuses as an easy way out when in fact the application for credit has been refused either because of the inability of the business involved to meet the requirements of trading banks, which are not in a position to provide developmental finance, or because of the incapacity of the business man or woman to show proof of an ability to service a larger debt in the necessarily short term nature of trading bank overdrafts. [More…]
As I said- and it is worth repeating- Treasurers are seldom popular; it is the nature of their job. [More…]
Should any animal fail a disease test, it might be necessary, depending on the nature of the disease involved, to destroy all animals at the station or return them to their countries of origin. [More…]
1 ) Have investigations been carried out into the circumstances of the fire which occurred in Qantas Drive, Mascot on 15 October 1977; if so, what was the nature of the investigations and their findings. [More…]
What was the nature and extent of damage caused to specific installations of individual lessees within the airport and what has been the cost of repairs in each case. [More…]
The Government has maintained the policy in relation to supplementary benefits of largely allowing private health insurance organisations to determine for themselves the nature and extent of supplementary benefits they may wish to offer, and the terms and conditions applicable to the payment of those benefits. [More…]
There were other discussions at a particular point about the difficulty of a certain situation which was of a passing nature and the Premier knew that full support would be available from the Commonwealth within its resources. [More…]
Also, of course, it established the very important principle that no one organisation or group should have a right to determine what other people can sell, or the nature and direction of Australia’s trade, especially when it is of such economic importance. [More…]
Can the honourable gentleman advise the House what other countries will be attending that meeting, what is the nature of the agenda and what particular commodities will be under discussion? [More…]
He well knows, and people in South Australia, Victoria, New South Wales and other parts of the Commonwealth where the motor industry is so important well understand, the nature of the protection that we have afforded this industry- a protection which is greater than was afforded in the past and which has been made necessary by the policies over which he and his Party presided through three disastrous years. [More…]
With technological research and with efforts of this nature there is no doubt that they could find a way to produce it economically. [More…]
It is usual in important and complex legislation of this nature for amendments of this kind to be made. [More…]
Some honourable members have been suggesting that the very nature of the legislation should be reassessed. [More…]
The very nature of the provisions is such that they have to be enforced by a court of law. [More…]
It is the policy of the Government to foster schemes of this nature to undertake research into the problems that exist in our rural industries. [More…]
The purpose of the visit was to familiarise the members ofthe inquiry with the nature of quarantine inspections. [More…]
Was the ship inspected by quarantine staff; if so, by whom and when and what was the nature of their report. [More…]
1 ) If he is satisfied that no statement of this nature was made by any departmental officer, can he advise the means by which he satisfied himself in this respect. [More…]
Naturally, a happening of this nature ought to cause any government to look again at the legislative procedures which govern an industry. [More…]
It is interesting again to note that the honourable gentleman is seeking to belittle the nature of a report which is highly creditable to Australia. [More…]
The Prime Minister is showing his opportunist nature and the manner in which he is willing to manipulate the truth and the manner in which government services are conducted or ought to be conducted in order to achieve his own political advantage. [More…]
It is worth noting that some of the recommendations of that Committee were intended to be of an interim nature to pave the way for further amendments at a later stage. [More…]
I say further that, not only in terms of domestic markets for industry but also in terms of support for the population, the nature of the Australian population is important. [More…]
We know that the nature of the changeover from the tax rebate scheme to the family allowance scheme was first class, putting that money directly into the hands of the mother. [More…]
However, some proceedings can be of a highly complex nature, as the case of Moore v. Doyle and the litigation involving the Shop Distributors Association illustrate. [More…]
Finally, the Bill makes provision for some minor changes of a machinery nature. [More…]
I doubt that any other operation of this nature would involve the imposition of that sort of penalty on someone who spoke to the public. [More…]
That is the point I am concerned to make and I invite the Minister in the consideration of clause 2 to inform the House, as is his duty, of the nature of the representations that have been received and the details of what has taken place between the Prime Minister and the Premier of Victoria or any other Premier for that matter. [More…]
Our concerns are of such a nature that we feel they can only be dealt with adequately in serious discussions at the highest level. [More…]
It is important that the stage at which fines of that nature might be imposed should never be reached. [More…]
The Government believes it proper that any view expressed by a State must be given due consideration, particularly as the nature of this Bill represents a new concept in CommonwealthState legislative arrangements. [More…]
It should be noted that prior to the introduction of the Bill the States had been advised of the nature of the Bill. [More…]
I have been silenced by the Government Whip each time despite the historic nature of the Environment Protection (Nuclear Codes) Bill which was alluded to by the Minister for Environment, Housing and Community Development (Mr Groom) when he introduced it. [More…]
This Bill gives the Northern Territory Supereme Court jurisidiaion to make orders in the nature of an injunction or a specific performance on application by the Director of the Australian National Parks and Wildlife Service or a land council in relation to the Alligator Rivers Region where uranium mining operations occur. [More…]
After hearing some of the comments made in the House this week of a very pessimistic nature about future employment prospects, we should think a little about our Australian inventiveness which is here and which is taking place and the marketing potential which we have if we are positive in our approach. [More…]
What was the nature of the alterations? [More…]
For the Labor Party to take up the time of the House on a matter of this nature when there are other important matters to be debated again demonstrates the paucity of the Labor Party’s policy proposals. [More…]
The changing nature of the labour market in Australia, particularly the emergence of structural imbalances, has required successive governments to introduce manpower programs such as the National Employment and Training scheme- NEAT- aimed at overcoming labour market problems suffered by particular groups within the community. [More…]
The time has not only come to stop the particular schemes we know about but to ensure that no schemes of a similar nature can be marketed in the future. [More…]
If any arrangement had or was calculated to result directly or indirectly in the type of tax advantage described in the lettered sub-clauses of the section, the Commissioner should have the right to disregard it for taxation purposes, unless the arrangement was an ordinary business transaction creating rights or obligations that would normally be created between business people dealing at arm ‘s length in a transaction of the nature in question and effected by means normally employed in such a transaction, or was made in the ordinary course of making or changing an investment, or was a bona fide arrangement of a person’s or a family’s affairs, and the Commissioner was satisfied that the arrangement was not entered into solely or primarily for the purpose of obtaining the tax advantage or that one of its main objectives was to obtain the tax advantage. [More…]
Nevertheless, it means that this Government and members on this side of the House could not possibly tolerate the disgraceful suggestions being made by honourable members opposite that commercial transactions, even of a very reasonable nature, should be carried on at risk of continual retrospective legislation, which is what the party opposite is now presenting to us in this amendment. [More…]
Secondly, did they understand the nature of the offences they were charged with? [More…]
The document was compiled on the basis of confidential reports on the nature and subject of threats that are around and which cannot be detailed. [More…]
I object strongly to this non-factual style of reporting and suggest that more harm is done to the prestige of the Parliament by reports of this nature, particularly when they are untrue. [More…]
It is all very well to talk about all those conceptsimproving productivity, improving economies of scale, the rationalisation of product lines and company structures and marketing procedures and so forth- but one cannot, in the same breath, condemn the Government for having a high protectionist policy, which is designed to enable a climate to be established in which companies will make decisions of that nature and which, as a consequence, will lead to some unemployment. [More…]
To do so is to be ignorant of the history and nature of the economic problems in the industry. [More…]
A discretion would then lie with every assessor who applied himself to the particular problem and, because of the subjective nature of deciding what is appropriate, there would then be no certainty present at all. [More…]
My problem is simply this: Having voted for and strongly supported that proposition in 1974, I, bearing in mind the respect in which I hold my colleagues who take a contrary view, find it possible to vote publicly now for legislation which creates, as I will demonstrate, a precedent in Australia, because this is the first time in this country that legislation of this nature and the known implications of it passing are to be dealt with by the Parliament. [More…]
The present situation is really one of an ad hoc nature that is being argued not on principle or convention but on the grounds of loss of revenue, blatancy or the fact that there would be only a minimal loss to those who have subscribed to the Curran scheme since last August. [More…]
This was done in 1974 when the tax situation was changed in relation to the tax free nature of earnings from gold mining companies and certain copper mining companies. [More…]
But the fact that the company did not distribute that money meant that when the Labor Party came to power it retrospectively destroyed the tax free nature of those reserves amounting to something like $25m. [More…]
The strength of the presumption against retrospectivity in any particular case, and accordingly the ease or difficulty with which it may be overcome, must, I would think, depend on the nature and degree of the injustice which would result from giving a statute a retrospective operation. [More…]
The Government should never have been placed in the situation in which it now finds itself, and we should never have been placed in the situation in which we find ourselves, of being obliged to take a decision of this nature. [More…]
In doing so I would like to set the context of what I am about to say by agreeing with what was said by the honourable member for Moore (Mr Hyde) when he spoke on the nature of principles. [More…]
I believe that it was pejorative in nature and was intended to be so. [More…]
It has been a substantial contributing factor to the recessionary nature of the Australian economy over the last two years, particularly in 1 977. [More…]
The nature of the world economy debate is on these lines: The growing world unemployment has caused alarm in many areas. [More…]
Also, in Fanny Bay gaol in Darwin there are some crew members of a vessel against whom serious allegations have been made regarding the nature of their acquisition and control of the vessel. [More…]
With a considerable part, but by no means all, of unemployment cyclical in nature there would, on the face of it, seem to be strong reasons to turn to more expansionary policies, to try to alleviate the problem. [More…]
I urge this Government to have the courage to stay on its present course, which is the only proper course for solving problems which are essentially of a long term nature. [More…]
But, in looking at that increase in private investment, he sounded a warning that whilst private investment would be stimulated by factors such as the 40 per cent investment allowance and other favourable taxation provisions, all these stimuli for private investment were, by their very nature, capital intensive. [More…]
The Government, by its attitudes to public spending and other matters, must accept full responsibility for the stagnant nature of the Australian economy. [More…]
1 submit that it is not too late to bring these provisional tax payments into line with the taxation concessions of a general nature granted as from 1 February 1978. [More…]
There are one or two other comments of a general nature which I make on two particular schemes. [More…]
I am fascinated that he still supports the nature of this report. [More…]
1 ) What was the nature of the relaxation of airworthiness requirements in the distribution of aircraft parts referred to in paragraph 4, page 49, of his Department’s 1976/77 Annual Report. [More…]
and (3) The effect on the efficiency and capacity of the Defence Force of re-introducing national service would depend on the nature and objectives of the particular scheme proposed. [More…]
Have any Commonwealth public servants and, in particular, officers of the Bureau of Narcotics, received any formal or informal instructions not to co-operate fully or provide unsolicited information to this inquiry; if so, what was the source, nature and justification for these instructions. [More…]
As the Prime Minister has indicated, it is a matter of the greatest concern for all responsible citizens when incidents of this nature occur. [More…]
However, the nature of the United States’ concern was a compound of the Vice- President himself having previously served on an agricultural committee of the United States Congress and hence having some understanding of the general pressures that exist within the United States to try to increase returns to cattlemen. [More…]
Any insinuations of this nature are entirely without foundation. [More…]
I ask the Minister: What is the precise nature of the modifications to be made to the aircraft, where are the modifications expected to be carried out, what is the estimated cost of the modifications proposed for each of the aircraft and will the total cost of the modifications be cheaper because two aircraft are to be modified rather than one? [More…]
If so, can the Minister inform the House as to the nature of the decision? [More…]
He allowed all these matters to be discussed throughout the conference so that when Australia made its decision on how its votes would be cast on these issues it had been made after a rational discussion among the members, a full understanding of the nature of the different views and an acceptance of the right to differ. [More…]
The result was always predictable and the tragedy of the situation is that it seems debates on issues of this nature are superfluous because the power blocs have their preconceived attitudes. [More…]
I also thank Dr Ron Howard of the Department of Foreign Affairs, whose advice and assistance was always freely available and was first class in nature. [More…]
Whilst the Constitution makes specific provisions for the welfare and benefit of Aboriginals to be the responsibility of the Commonwealth there are many matters of a constitutional nature which have not been determined and there are many aspects of this matter which, if pursued to the final point of confrontation, would end with us in litigation in the High Court of Australia from which there would be no solution and no worthwhile result for the Aboriginal people involved. [More…]
An officer or employee who is stood down will not be entitled to salary, wages or other remuneration and allowances in the nature of salary or wages in respect of a period for which he is stood down. [More…]
Honourable members will recall that, when the Tariff Proposals were introduced into the House, a comprehensive summary in respect of each of the Proposals was circulated which set out the nature of the change in duty rates and the origin of each change. [More…]
Much is said about the ineffectual nature of the back bench and private members. [More…]
People have not been able to meet death duty liabilities without going to extraordinary costs in terms of life insurance and things of that nature, which obviously is at the cost of other consumption or other asset improvement. [More…]
Furthermore, some income is produced by public authorities and public enterprises, which, in the nature of things, never pay estate duty on their assets. [More…]
Given the nature of the economic system and the production processes in various industries there ought to be a large difference between the figures being compared. [More…]
-The three Bills we are debating cognately are of a routine nature. [More…]
I do believe most sincerely that where that legislation is of a noncontentious nature this Parliament should not debate it unduly. [More…]
It is true that the three Bills before the House today are virtually of a procedural nature. [More…]
Indeed, in the Tribunal report once again special mention is made of the nature of advertising and station promotions that are being used by some commercial television stations during those children’s hours- 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. and at weekends. [More…]
I think the Tribunal probably has a job there to look at the nature of some of the promotions, especially those that are being played by some of the commercial television stations to promote their night time program. [More…]
I trust that the members of the Broadcasting Tribunal will look carefully at the qualifications and the nature of those people in the community who are looking to operate a licence. [More…]
So with these changing values and attitudes there is a constant challenge to the nature of the curriculum and teaching and to the very organisation of our education system. [More…]
In respect of the fifth point, I refer to page 105 of his book, in which he casts serious doubt on whether a private enterprise system such as that of Australia can by its very nature negotiate trade with China. [More…]
There are some rather undergraduatish comments upon the nature of our system, but under those circumstances I say without hesitation or reservation that Dr Fitzgerald has insufficient judgment, insufficient understanding and insufficient balance to fill this most important position- one of very great prestigeas the first chairman, recommended by the Government, of the Australia-China Foundation. [More…]
One of the main grievances in its report was about the lack of adequate data on which to assess the number and nature of industrial accidents and diseases. [More…]
I am concerned- I have expressed this concern in this House on a previous occasion- about the continual statements of the Minister for Defence (Mr Killen) in which he has made it quite clear that he is seeking to remove surveillance of the nature mentioned by the honourable member for Dawson, that is, coastal surveillance of territorial integrity, from the function of the Defence Force, despite the fact that in the Government’s White Paper on defence that function is clearly set out in a number of places as being an accepted function of the Defence Force. [More…]
If there should be- and we hope not- incidents of an international nature of a type of terrorist activity that comes near our shores, which are matters that the Federal Government obviously has an interest in and which might have to be dealt with under federal law, then surely we in this Parliament want to know that any persons convicted will subsequently be held in the appropriate maximum security prison. [More…]
In 1949, rural research was that most demanded by the nature of the economy. [More…]
We have looked for a treaty settlement which will have the capacity to adapt to changing circumstances on matters of day-to-day significance while at the same time retaining a durable certainty about the distribution and nature of the rights of the parties concerned. [More…]
Major roadworks include the reconstruction, realignment and upgrading of Fairbairn Avenue and the realignment of Majura Road and of the Paddys River Road to the Tidbinbilla Nature Reserve. [More…]
The requirement for agreement by the bank is consistent with comparable provisions in the Commonwealth Banks Act 1959, the Reserve Bank Act 1959 and the Banks (Housing Loans) Act 1974 and is also consistent with the cooperative nature of the whole venture. [More…]
I believe that the Parliament should be cognisant of the attitudes of both employers and employees to legislation of this nature coming before the Parliament. [More…]
As the Minister has pointed out, in State jurisdictions matters of a similar nature in the first instance would be dealt with by magistrates. [More…]
The Minister makes the point that proceedings of this nature involve only determination of matters of fact which are not complex and that further litigation would be likely to be factionally motivated and should be discouraged. [More…]
To a large extent factions in trade unions are born out of the very nature of a free trade union movement. [More…]
However, it is the policy of our Party that only matters of law should be subject to a hearing by the High Court and matters of an industrial nature should remain within the confines of the industrial division of the Federal Court. [More…]
We would be against any blending of the industrial division of the Federal Court with the general division of that Court which could lead to far less expertise being available to deal with industrial matters of such critical nature. [More…]
All that the amendments do is to maintain what has generally been the practice concerning Part IX inquiries, and to provide consistency in the treatment of matters of a similar nature. [More…]
By their very nature these cases are often lengthy, extensive and involve considerable exercises in the interpretation of rules. [More…]
That being so, the very nature of the contest is such that from the point of view of the Minister it would be a saving in time and cost and a better use of the capacities of the Court if right from the start these cases were subject to a process under which they were dealt with by a Full Court. [More…]
Service is to be successful many of the programs will be long term in nature. [More…]
Obviously figures of this nature do not show up in the Commonwealth Employment Service’s monthly unemployment figures, nor would they show up in the Australian Bureau of Statistics’ figures because they would have to be actively seeking work seven days before the survey date’. [More…]
It could be expertise in advertising, in interviewing, in dealing with certain categories of staff, in administering tests of a psychological nature such as aptitude tests and personality profiles, and writing reports. [More…]
If officers of the CES are to be involved primarily in the placing of people in suitable employment, it may well be that at times when they have a peak of activity of that type they do not have the time to collect the statistics to do all the administrative procedures such as lapsing people from the rolls who have found employment through other means that would be needed in order to ensure accurate statistics of a general nature. [More…]
I believe it should be responsible to the Parliament and I am pleased to hear the honourable member saying so because this is the very nature of the legislation. [More…]
I am not trying to run away from the nature of the problem having regard to the pace at which we can move because of changing attitudes. [More…]
The very nature of the special works projects scheme was to fund employers, local government authorities and State government instrumentalities so that they would take into their service Aboriginals who would gain experience while employed. [More…]
I have stressed in my address the positive nature of the Government’s initiatives. [More…]
Unless something of that nature is provided they will have to get out. [More…]
The Bill is of such a critical nature that it needs to be examined very closely to see where the weaknesses he. [More…]
Once again I put it to the Minister that any scheme of this nature must fall to the ground without such a policy. [More…]
While the Whaling Amendment Bill may be basically of a technical nature it necessarily raises an issue of basic concern to Albany and the electorate of Forrest. [More…]
Nature is itself cruel and does not allow animals, in their wild state, to decline into peaceful old age. [More…]
Suddenly the whale has become a supreme symbol in a new campaign to preserve nature. [More…]
He was a man with a conservative nature. [More…]
I felt that my contribution might be of a slightly more personal nature by my pointing out that, apart from his greatness, apart from his statesmanship, apart from those great qualities to which we have paid respect this afternoon, he was a very human person. [More…]
He was not without some familiarity with personal physical suffering, and in his family life from time to time he was subjected to great stresses that were tragic in their nature. [More…]
If so, what is the nature of these studies. [More…]
Because of the nature of the services and concessions available to pensioners holding a Pensioner Health Benefit card, there would be major difficulties in providing for entitlements to be ‘tapered’ as non-pension income increases; the proposal would also involve additional cost to revenue. [More…]
1 ) and (2) It is in accordance with usual practice that the nature of communications which may or may not have passed between a Prime Minister and a Premier should be treated as confidential. [More…]
For this reason the Government has maintained the policy in relation to supplementary benefits of largely allowing private funds to determine for themselves the nature and extent of supplementary benefits they may wish to offer, and the terms and conditions applicable to the payment of those benefits. [More…]
I have answered a question in the House on the matter of the United States considering legislation which will be of a countercyclical nature. [More…]
Depending upon the nature of that inquiry, it will be examined fully and properly at that time. [More…]
I will give some indication of the nature of the sales. [More…]
Changes of an administrative nature are also contained in the Proposals. [More…]
In my electorate where, by its nature the unemployment rate is high anyway, the youth unemployment rate is about 2 1 per cent of the total as at the end of February. [More…]
I do not want a confrontation with any Executive over an issue of this nature- Liberal-National Country Party or Labor. [More…]
Much goes through the House now of a tariff nature relating to industries which ought to be the subject of close attention by honourable members, but they do not have the opportunity to debate the issues as they should. [More…]
Even if it were possible to overlook the highly protectionist and isolationist nature of the Government’s approach to tariff policy, as disclosed in the Government’s White Paper on Manufacturing Industry, and even if one were to concentrate on the long term, pro-change, element outlined in the White Paper, there is no more cause for optimism. [More…]
Certainly, we on this side of the House will be saying a great deal more about these matters in debates of this nature during the year. [More…]
Thirdly, can it lend a false image of judicial independence and impartiality to matters that are politically controversial and partisan in nature? [More…]
It seems to me, with respect, a quite improper use of ratepayers’ funds and taxpayers’ money to embark upon a political exercise of this nature. [More…]
Finally, may I say that literally hundreds of judgments of that nature are exercised every day, every week, year after year. [More…]
I am sure that my honourable friend would not expect me to reveal publicly the nature of those discussions. [More…]
The House needs little reminding of the nature of these crises. [More…]
This is a reaction against the Government’s misguided reliance solely upon market forces to determine the nature and structure of our industries. [More…]
Unless the ramifications of a decision of this nature are considered, the Opposition is apprehensive that this would be yet another move to hand over a public service to private enterprise. [More…]
It is all very well to talk about private enterprise coming into this area, but the facts are that the geographical nature of Australia, I would think, would almost preclude private enterprise from being even remotely interested in it. [More…]
Certainly the Royal Flying Doctor Service does a marvellous job, but if that service can be added to by this form of communication, when a government of this nature is concerned with the welfare and the health of the people of the outback areas, so be it. [More…]
Because of the very general nature of the description of the 1 879 line, it is almost impossible to use it to construct the border with the precision required for an international boundary. [More…]
Because of the very general nature of the description of the 1 879 line, it is almost impossible to use it to construct the border with the precision required for an international boundary. [More…]
He never informed us of the nature of those conversations, and to my knowledge he did not break confidence to any of his shadow Cabinet colleagues. [More…]
The Bill also contains some amendments of a drafting nature. [More…]
The remaining provisions of the Bill are of a financial nature and are required either to overcome procedural problems and technical omissions or, consequential upon the Defence Service Homes Amendment Act 1977, to facilitate the operation of the financial arrangements applicable to the Corporation as from 1 July 1977. [More…]
The latter amendments include authority for the transfer from the defence service homes trust account to Consolidated Revenue of fees and other moneys of a non-capital nature. [More…]
Science and technology are major components of social change, natural resource use, education and the changing nature of work- to give just some examples. [More…]
By contrast, Labor, after its election in late 1972, undertook a full and independent review of Australian science, and also sought to encourage informed comment on the nature and role of appropriate science policy advisory machinery. [More…]
At page 1515 of today’s Notice Paper there is a list setting out the House of Representatives appointments to committees of this nature. [More…]
It shows a misunderstanding of the nature and function of the Council. [More…]
An officer or employee who is stood down will not be entitled to salary, wages or other remuneration and allowances in the nature of salary or wages in respect of a period for which he is stood down. [More…]
He shall, as soon as reasonably practicable and within eight hours of the commencement of such absence inform the employer of his inability to attend for duty, and as far as practicable state the nature of the injury or illness and the estimated duration of the absence. [More…]
1 ) What is the nature of anti-hijack procedures followed by (a) domestic airlines and (b) international airlines at Australian airports. [More…]
The extent and nature of the Commonwealth Public Service’s participation in such schemes would be determined by the nature of any proposals and the legal and other difficulties that might be thrown up in detailed examination. [More…]
The Australian Government has made it quite clear that it is concerned that if there is to be any increase in this quota, it be of a global nature enabling all countries to tender, instead of being exclusively for the United States. [More…]
But when one examines in detail the nature of the proposal and the qualifications that are hedged around it, one finds that it is a proposal that would affect less than 20 per cent of world trade. [More…]
There have been dramatic developments in the volume and nature of consular work in the past two decades. [More…]
But it is important that we recognise that the consular service is a 24-hour- a-day job, 7 days a week, by the very nature of the services which have been outlined at length by the Minister. [More…]
We have certainly ended the abuses and excesses that came about because of the open ended nature of the scheme the previous Government introduced. [More…]
The experience was clearly there in the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada that a universal scheme of that nature was not satisfactory. [More…]
The industry is particularly affected by the vagaries of mother nature. [More…]
One-third of the money will come from revolving funds through the ongoing nature of the bank. [More…]
In spite of the well developed Rural Bank and the standard settlement scheme, the New Zealand Government has found it necessary to establish a special settlement scheme of a more generous nature to ensure that young people are given a chance to become farmers in sufficient numbers for the future. [More…]
There are plenty of opportunities for this House to discuss matters of this nature which involve home ownership and low income families seeking to acquire their own accommodation. [More…]
Why is the former Treasurer so reluctant to reveal the nature of his association with Joseph Henry Jones? [More…]
I am told that they do not even cover the monthly production index or monthly retail prices, that there is an unreliable import prices index, and other inadequacies of that nature on matters which would be basic to the Department of the Treasury. [More…]
In terms of environmental planning, estate planning and the whole paternalistic nature of that authority and its relationship with it tenants, it has a bad record. [More…]
I suggest that it is Bills of this nature which make the distinction between support for the Government and support for the Opposition so dramatic. [More…]
But the bulk of what will be provided in addition will be through the revolving nature of the funds- funds will move backwards and forwards between co-operatives and between purchasers more rapidly than they would under normal circumstances. [More…]
Land in the Northern Territory, other than land in the Uluru (Ayers Rock-Mt Olga) National Park or in the Alligator Rivers Region as defined by the Environment Protection (Alligator Rivers Region) Act 1978, shall not, without the consent of the Territory, be acquired by the Commonwealth for the purposes of this Part if it is land that is dedicated or reserved under a law of the Territory for purposes related to nature conservation or the protection of areas of historical, archeological or geological importance or the area having special significance in relation to Aboriginals. [More…]
Whenever the interests of nature conservation and national parks have clashed with other interests- whether they be the development interests of States, the bureaucratic interests of Federal departments or the interests of developers, especially miners- this Government has put national parks last. [More…]
for purposes related to nature conservation or the protection of areas of historical, archaeological or geological importance or of areas having special significance in relation to Aboriginals. [More…]
The terms and nature of that inquiry have not been settled between the two governments. [More…]
Further, what effect do statements of that nature, and those statements in particular, have on the conduct of Australia’s representations on these matters. [More…]
If the Leader of the Opposition will nominate a senior front bench member of his Party- I do not want to condemn any person by nominating somebody but may I suggest the Deputy Leader of the Opposition- I will nominate a Minister to see whether there is agreement about the nature of the anomalies and the remedies that should be pursued. [More…]
From that outline of the various steps we will be taking, I am sure honourable members will appreciate the comprehensive nature of these proposals. [More…]
It takes many days for a matter of this nature to be heard and then one finds that the special disarmament conference has commenced. [More…]
People will say: ‘But it is human nature to go to war’. [More…]
I do not think that it is human nature to go to war. [More…]
These are all indications of the fact that the economy is anything but likely to stage a brilliant recovery in the near future and, being as unbiased about the situation as one can be, it is difficult to have any optimism about economic recovery of any substantial nature in the near future. [More…]
It is important that the stage at which fines of that nature might be imposed should never be reached. [More…]
It is a form of VD which is not only gonococcal but also nongonococcal in nature. [More…]
I have had to take into account the nature of the work to be carried out at the Special Session and the structure of the meeting. [More…]
I am not aware of the precise nature of the information that has been conveyed to existing commissioners but I understand that the Chairman of the Commission would have indicated to the retiring commissioners that they are eligible for consideration. [More…]
There should also be within that delegation an opportunity for His Honour Mr Justice Frost to participate and to consider the nature and character of the International Whaling Commission and the conservation practices for which it was constituted. [More…]
The Minister seeks to brush over the dimensions and nature of this new facility as an upgrading’ of satellite terminal equipment, again of no great significance. [More…]
Strict control by the Minister in this area is essential because of the wider question of the impact of changing technology on the strategic fucntions of the United States installations in Australia and on the nature of the United States-Australia relationship itself. [More…]
Private members of Parliament and the Leader of the Opposition cannot write a letter and give it a classification of that nature. [More…]
Australia does not and, as a result, cannot adequately deal with the serious international complications which can arise when ‘embassies’ of this nature are established. [More…]
Following legal advice it is not certain that the Act does this in respect of mining companies in the Alligator Rivers region because of uncertainty as to the nature of their interests in that area. [More…]
There are only about eight Cocos-Malays left who, if they offer themselves for work, will be provided with work of what is described as a municipal nature. [More…]
Mr Deputy Speaker, I will remind you time and again, so that I am speaking to the nature of the Bill, that the tariff is very much part of an industry policy. [More…]
The first, of course, is that the size of our quota in the Fund determines how much we can borrow from the Fund when we have balance of payments problems of a temporary nature. [More…]
The seventh quota review which comes up before too long is, I should hope, likely to be of a more equi-proportional nature than this review. [More…]
In line with what I said earlier, there was a great deal of suspicion on the part of some trade union officials and many employers that the broad definition of trade union training contained in the existing Act might allow a number of courses of a very broad ideological nature to be introduced into the trade union training syllabus. [More…]
This Bill to amend the Trade Union Training Authority Act 1975 is the result of the Government’s nearly total lack of understanding of the nature and aims of the Australian trade union movement. [More…]
The present Government simply does not understand the nature or aims of the broad labour movement in Australia. [More…]
This will avoid a great amount of confusion because the emphasis must not be on educational matters, as I have said previously; it rather should be of a practical nature. [More…]
It is sad because it involves an issue which until the introduction of this Bill virtually was dealt with in this Parliament on a bipartisan basis, with all parties agreeing on the need for trade union training and with all parties in broad agreement on the nature of the structure that ought to be established. [More…]
The honourable member referred to the longterm nature of the benefits of trade union training. [More…]
This is particularly so when decisions are made on the Conciliation and Arbitration Act or matters of that nature, or when discussions are held on such matters as Commonwealth Employment Service offices. [More…]
The very nature of industrial legislation and the views taken by the two sides of the House on it, make it inevitable that there will be occasions on which it is not possible to reach unanimity. [More…]
If the Minister does not believe that trade union training authorities, or, to be specific, the Trade Union Training Authority by its nature is an educational institution, let him say so. [More…]
Firstly, I want to underline what has been said by previous speakers about the nature of speeches made in second reading debates in this House and to say that the intelligence of members has been insulted repeatedly by speeches of the type we heard during the debate on this Bill. [More…]
The third point I want to make, which takes me more closely into the Bill, is to draw attention to the way in which the power has been shifted within the nature of the Trade Union Training Authority so that we now have elevated in place of a broadly representative board- other honourable members have referred to this- a National Director appointed by the Minister operating in the context of an executive which clearly can be controlled by management when the Chairman appointed by the Minister is prepared to go in that direction. [More…]
-by leave- The purpose of this statement is to set out the nature of the regulation and control which the Government will exercise over the export marketing of uranium. [More…]
I do not therefore see a need to proceed with legislation in the current sittings, and prior to consultations with the States on the nature and desirability of legislation. [More…]
I might add that in view of the nature of the advice that the Authority would need to provide, it would not be appropriate for its members to be chosen from the companies which were participating in the marketing of uranium. [More…]
However, given the import of it and the impact on the Australian uranium industry I think it would have been reasonable if the Government had demonstrated some confidence in the confidentiality that the Opposition would observe and had given it much prior notice of a statement of this nature. [More…]
This has not enabled us time to really consult with the States as to the nature of the legislation and the desirability of this legislation. [More…]
I hope that during the recess period I shall have an opportunity of being able to discuss with the States the nature of the legislation I intend to bring forward as a forerunner to establishing a marketing authority which can advise the Government on action it should take. [More…]
It is odd that the Minister for Primary Industry is in this House, but other people, imputed as committing offences of a lesser nature, but nonetheless serious, are not in this House. [More…]
It is the seasonal nature of farming which really makes a farmer eligible to receive the unemployment benefit. [More…]
with the impressive nature of the idea and the quality of the script it remained satisfied that the usual requirements which it has in mind in looking at the national program were met. [More…]
The Committee throughout the inquiry concentrated its attention on the nature and extent of problems related to motorcycle and bicycle safety and measures by which the safety of these vehicles could be improved. [More…]
The bipartisan nature of our report reflects the attitude to the work of parliamentary committees in Canberra whereby the two political parties can agree and make contributions for the national good. [More…]
The report because of its interim nature does not contain recommendations for future Government policy. [More…]
It is published to show the important nature of the issues involved. [More…]
Not only is total expenditure in excess of $ 130m in 1977-78 but it is likely also that because of the nature of DSHS similar sums of money will be required in perpetuity. [More…]
As I have indicated, they are of a machinery nature and will up-date the statute book. [More…]
Like the Administrative Changes (Consequential Provisions) Bill, the provisions made by this Bill are of a machinery nature, designed to give effect to the December administrative changes. [More…]
I wish to turn then to look at the federalism package so that we can properly understand the nature of this legislation which is before us. [More…]
Members will be required to contribute 1 1 te per cent of the additional salary, or allowance in the nature of salary, received as a Minister or office holder. [More…]
If so, what was the value and nature of these projects and how many sewerage connections would have been provided in each State with these funds. [More…]
The Committee acknowledges that forestry operations are by their very nature long term investments. [More…]
One cannot escape the view that those whose responsibility it was to manage the programs felt it was not appropriate to expose their unrealistic and wasteful nature. [More…]
I have an instinctive feeling that the sheer extent of public expenditure in Australia and the very nature of public enterprise make it almost impossible for that expenditure to be properly accounted for on behalf of its shareholders, the Australian taxpayers. [More…]
I am referring, of course, to governments of a progressive nature- governments like an Australian Labor Party government. [More…]
There has been a major change in the nature of the training, the change being from formal training courses to on-the-job training. [More…]
But I put it to the House that that would cause a political confrontation of the nature of the confrontations that arose when the colonies of Great Britain were themselves seeking either full independence or self-government. [More…]
Some staff members might well regard enquiries of this nature as an invasion of their privacy. [More…]
Anyone who has looked at the level and the nature of the income tax relief which this Government has given, both in terms of tax indexation and the restructuring of the rate scale that came into force in February of this year, would have to acknowledge that this Government has been, above all, a government of taxation reform. [More…]
We have problems of a continuing nature in the unemployment field, and I will come back to that if time permits. [More…]
The review was proposed by the Public Service Board against the background that the present Act presents numerous technical difficulties of a legal and administrative nature and that changes in the size and nature of Commonwealth Government employment have also meant that it is now operating in quite a different situation from that which existed in 1928, when the Act was introduced. [More…]

[More…]
In proposed sub-section (3) of the same section, we believe that a land council should not give a direction under section 23 to a land trust with respect to any matter in connection with the land held by that land trust unless the Land Council is satisfied that the person shown in the register maintained by the Council under section 24 as the traditional Aboriginal owners of that land understand the nature and purpose of the proposed direction and do not oppose it.

[More…]
The debate in this House tonight expresses to me the unsatisfactory nature of this legislation. [More…]
The issue between us has never been the fact of immigration but the quantum and nature of intake. [More…]

I hope that this does not eventuate because, once again, it would show the parochial nature of the dairying industry when a national approach is needed. [More…]
I think the nature of the question is an examination of the Acting Prime Minister in a way that runs the risk of making it appear that the Royal Commission would take into account matters which were not evidence before the Commission but debate in this chamber. [More…]
In view of the serious nature of public disclosures on these matters, will the Acting Prime Minister assure the House that these Ministers, including himself, will appear before the Royal Commission to respond to allegations of a ministerial conspiracy to subvert Parliament and the Royal Commission? [More…]
It ill becomes the honourable member for Robertson and any other Opposition member to ask a question of this nature when, I submit, they are the guilty men. [More…]
The Committee regards this inquiry as one of an interim nature and at a later date will undertake a more complete investigation into further .matters which relate to the Commonwealth’s legislative publishing program. [More…]
Perhaps that observation is more relevant to the nature of political debate in this country than the substance of matters which are applied in administration. [More…]
But I am concerned about the blanket nature of the guidelines which have been put forward. [More…]
The rush is because he wants to say something overseas and is prepared not only to risk the bipartisan nature of the attitude towards foreign investment which has been developed by this Parliament but also the confidence that has developed behind the guidelines enumerated by an earlier Labor Government and laid down almost in mirror fashion by the present Government in 1976. [More…]
Convinced of the arbitrary nature of the detention of Deputy John Marie Seroney in view of the above provisions, [More…]

If those who complain of the accommodation standards of new Australian ships took the trouble to have a look at the level of accommodation and realised that the main determinants in constructing a ship are the weight and the nature of cargo and the engine required to power that vessel they would find the accommodation to be placed on top of the superstructure, on top of the hull, is one of the minor factors to be taken into account. [More…]
I suspect that the Minister questions my reasoning about structure and determinants in the nature of designing a vessel. [More…]
There is a difference between myself and the Commission over the nature and extent of the Government’s commitment made at the last election where the Commission believed that the promise to extend the free line plant entitlement from 12 kilometres to 16 kilometres should be with respect only to those areas which are programmed for conversion to automatic within two years or where there is already an automatic exchange. [More…]

Did the Department of Science and the CSIRO both support the nature of the windows at hearings of the Joint Parliamentary Committee on Public Works; if not, what opposition or reservations did they express. [More…]

It is clear, therefore, that any figure supplied concerning the research component of the development assistance program is in the nature of an approximation and not a statement of precise amounts. [More…]

1 ) Has his attention been drawn to the concern in the fresh apple and pear industry over the ad hoc nature of the current stabilisation scheme. [More…]
Insofar as the general question of air safety is concerned, I am able to tell the House that in terms of statistics- mark you, statistics are never satisfactory to those people who are involved in incidents of this nature- the fact is that there has been a declining trend over the last 10 years in incidents of this nature. [More…]
Incidents of this nature are a very vexed problem. [More…]

Also, with the further projections of the movement down in inflation which comes out of the nature of this Budget, the prospects for further, sustained and increasingly significant reductions in interest rates which will flow right across the whole community obviously are coming much nearer than they would otherwise be.

Pursuant to section 11 of the States Grants (Nature Conservation) Act 1974 1 present a supplementary agreement in relation to the provision of financial assistance to Western Australia for land acquisition for nature conservation purposes 1976-77. [More…]
The purpose and nature of overseas trips will be subject to clear guidelines. [More…]
As I have already indicated, the new arrangements for the program were announced at the time of the Premiers Conference in June, and of course are fully in line with the Government’s policy of federalism, which recognises that State and local governments are well placed to assume greater responsibility for locally based programs of this nature. [More…]
Another question which comes to mind is the nature and extent of the monopoly profit problem associated with these quota arrangements. [More…]
There are some grey areas which always arise in any legislation of this nature. [More…]

They pointed out, and I think probably rightly, that a lottery of this nature would be a State matter. [More…]
We now have a group of people who receive authorisation under an Act of Parliament to carry out a particular function and who are holding themselves out to perform a number of so-called services which are of a much wider nature and for which they are no doubt seeking funds, although in appropriate cases, as the honourable member has suggested in relation to marriages, they may not charge a fee. [More…]
I believe that those sorts of people who have evidence on the public record that they are in it purely for the purpose of making money through the sort of services that they are prepared to conduct, not for any of those values that they publicly expressed in the newspapers and articles that I have referred to, ought to be looked at more closely and that some limit ought to be put on the time of their appointment so that we can review the very nature of the sort of role they are carrying out in the community and the wider functions that they are taking onto themselves through the statutory authorisation they have received. [More…]
It means that religious, charitable and local government bodies have to raise a down payment in the nature of $650,000 for such a home. [More…]
This leaflet completely misunderstands- one can only assume deliberately- the whole nature of the contribution these people are making to Australian society. [More…]
There is always room for debate about the exact nature of those guidelines, and I know that I and other honourable members present continually make representations to the Minister about particular people in whom we have an interest and about aspects of the guidelines that we think could be changed.

It has been longestablished practice, accepted and adhered to by the previous Labor Government as it is by this Government, that staffing for Opposition parties is the responsibility of the government of the day and is not a proper matter for determination by the Tribunal whose comments on the matter, therefore, the Government regards as being of a recommendatory nature. [More…]
Yet we find that that is the very purpose and nature of the legislation now before the House. [More…]
Sub-clause (2) makes it clear that when an Australian private organisation becomes aware that the Corporation is either negotiating with a view to the formation of an Australian consortium or is negotiating with an overseas government it can protest and, according to the nature of that protest, the responsible Minister may direct the Corporation to cease its operations or negotiations.

The second category covers housing which must be provided by an employer to encourage people to take up employment in an industry, encouragement being needed because of the nature of the industry, the isolation of its location or the unfavourable climate of the location. [More…]
I do not mind if people want to criticise the policies that are pursued by the Government and, justly in their view, to offer constructive comments about the nature of the Government of this country, but it is another matter, at a time when there is not an election campaign under way, to undertake the organisation of mass rallies, to harangue crowds and to set about to undermine people ‘s confidence in established institutions and law and order and to undermine their attitude to someone else ‘s property and person. [More…]
I believe that, by the very nature of the speeches that were made, by the very nature of the provocative advertising in the Press and by the very nature of the environment which was created, large numbers of people felt compelled to act not in a law abiding way but in an emotive way towards people against whom they had no complaint whatsoever. [More…]
When we look at the nature of the events leading up to these rallies last weekend we find that they were not something spontaneous, they were not put together without thought or preparation; we find that there was a detailed involvement and planning in a determined way to bring together the largest group of people that was possible and to provide for the Leader of the Opposition a forum at which he could vent his spleen against the Government. [More…]
They were not of a spontaneous nature. [More…]
-The freedom of this country is owed to those people who played a part in a number of contests of a world nature. [More…]

Later on it says that that is not to qualify it but simply to flesh out the nature of matters that might be looked at. [More…]
Whilst I accept, in general terms, that the committee would have an ability to look at this matter, for the same reason as we have detailed other matters that ought to be looked at I support the general proposition that the committee ought to look at the effects of the Family Law Act on the nature of marriage and the family. [More…]
The nature of the family situation when you are dealing with custody of children becomes an important matter. [More…]
Family Law Council because I think that they highlight many important dilemmas, some of a legal nature and some of a more practical nature, associated with this legislation- but with some very practical aspects of the legislation that I believe this Committee when it is set up will have to look at. [More…]
It might be fair enough, in terms of an exercise in political polemic, to ask: What are the effects on the nature of marriage and the family of the operation of the Family Law Act? [More…]
To ask this proposed committee also to engage in some sort of analysis of the effects of the Act on the nature of marriage and the family I think would be to refer an area of inquiry which ought not to be properly the purview or responsiblity of the committee. [More…]
If the honourable member for Lilley (Mr Kevin Cairns), who is sponsoring the foreshadowed amendments, were to propose the establishment of a parliamentary committee to look at the whole question of the nature of the family in Australian society and the pressures upon it, I would support him. [More…]
Given the complexity of the legal problems that have to be considered, I do not know how the proposed committee, on the basis of 2Vi years’ experience of the operation of an Act which essentially involves an exercise in legal operations- it is a legal concept- can say that that Act has had any effects on the nature of marriage, and if so, what effects. [More…]
What do we mean by the nature of marriage? [More…]
The nature of marriage really involves questions of polemic which in themselves can involve philosophers. [More…]
I suggest to the honourable gentleman that we are living in a society in which the rate of change and the nature of our economic system have put the family under tremendous and inordinate pressures. [More…]
It seems to me that to add to that the interesting question of the effects on the nature of marriage and the family and to isolate the operations of this Act in terms of that very important question is to confuse the very important question of marriage breakdown with the question of divorce. [More…]
In sub-clause (a), after paragraph (i) insert the following paragraph: (ia) its effects on the nature of marriage and the family; ‘. [More…]
The purpose of this amendment is to allow the proposed joint committee to investigate the provisions and the operations of the Family Law Act 1975 with particular regard to the ground of divorce and whether there should be other grounds and its effect on the nature of marriage and the family.

So I do not know why the honourable member for Melbourne Ports should be frightened about the committee looking at the nature of marriage. [More…]

[More…]
As the war histories record many other unfortunate wartime occurrences of a similar nature which took place in New Guinea, I can only assume that objective historians although they have known through verbal accounts and through allusions in files which have remained and are available for research, are not prepared to write history without the necessary supporting evidence. [More…]
Checks to date of those documents closed in this manner reveals that none so closed relates in any way to trials of any nature. [More…]
The investigation would need to establish the correctness of conflicting allegations and is therefore of a nature we are unable to undertake. [More…]

It was suggested that there would be new terms of reference but that the Liberal Party would look at the nature of them. [More…]
But most important of all, due to the very nature of the problem of homelessness, this program needs to be administered predominantly by church and charitable organisations. [More…]
To understand why these organisations are so important one needs to understand the very nature of the problem. [More…]
It seems to me that further inquiries should be made as to the very nature of this problem, because that is a very serious difference of opinion between professional people working in the field. [More…]
What does this comment on the nature of the problem mean in terms of the appropriate response from the community and from governments? [More…]
The nature of the problem, as outlined in this report, requires a compassionate response from the community at large, quite apart from the official governmental response I referred to earlier. [More…]
Finally, in supporting the Bill, I hope that the Government will use the review period to look at some of the matters I have raised, such as the definition and extent of homelessness, the inherent nature of the problem, the responsibilities of the various levels of government, the proper and potential functions of homeless persons centres, and the adequacy of present subsidy arrangements with eligible organisations. [More…]
the new arrangements Tor the program were announced at the time of the Premiers Conference in June, and of course are fully in line with the Government’s policy of federalism, which recognises that States and local governments are well placed to assume greater responsibility for locally-based programs of this nature. [More…]
I suggest to the Minister for Health (Mr Hunt), who represents in this chamber the Minister for Social Security (Senator Guilfoyle) that although I agree completely with the view that matters of this nature are better determined at a State government level by virtue of its proximity to the scene, I would very much like to see the Commonwealth having some say, or exercising a larger interest than may have happened in the past in determining whether these projects are needed. [More…]
Until we face the fact that the number of people looking for work is probably double the number included in the unemployment statistics, we will fail to appreciate the nature of the problem confronting us. [More…]
The Australian people must be given the true facts about the extent and nature of the problem. [More…]
Certainly no comments of that nature were made in the chamber. [More…]
All of us have a responsibility to understand the nature of the problem first and then to start to work out in consultation, not in confrontation, appropriate policy. [More…]
The United States Senate has already approved the Bentsen Bill, which is slightly different in nature. [More…]
They are purposely trying to undermine the private enterprise nature of this economy and, as a result, purposely pushing more and more people on to the unemployed list. [More…]

Is it a fact that in the light of changing patterns of import trade sources, Australia is likely to experience changes in the nature and variety of exotic pests introduced with imported goods; if so, will he initiate the following steps: (a) an assessment of the existing data available for the identification and control of exotic plants, and vertebrate and invertebrate animals, (b) an independant opinion on the sufficiency and accessibility of such data for emergency use, and whether the channels of communication within and between Australia and State quarantine and pest organisations are adequate to meet such an emergency and (c) and investigation to establish the potentially most serious vertebrate and invertebrate pests yet to enter Australia, and whether scientific expertise, control techniques, support facilities, and illustrated descriptive matter suitable for distribution in an emergency are available within Australia.

I ask the Treasurer whether in view of the very great number of representations that have been made and the complicated nature of the Bill itself, as well as the prospects of endangering employment in Australia because so much of the products used are constructed here, just as importantly the probability of endangering our foreign relationship in South East Asia; and also prejudicing the viability of overseas subsidiary corporations if the changes are made, will he give an assurance to the House now, before he goes overseas, that he will give the most careful attention to all the representations and ensure that if necessary, the Act is amended in order to make it more presentable and acceptable to the Australian people? [More…]

In view of the serious damage that has been done to the parliamentary insitution, does the right honourable gentleman now agree that it is important that all members of this House as a matter of urgency should indicate that they are prepared to disclose their income tax returns as well as the nature of the assets and liabilities of their wives and families and that this be done without any further delay? [More…]
Having said that, I refer to an issue of an environmental nature. [More…]
That net loss to the community of 3.3 per cent is not the only evidence of contraction; it is also important to note the nature of the areas where government funds are being spent and from where they are being collected. [More…]
One does not have to be an Einstein to know that the nature of expenditure in this Budget is such that, for instance, the building and construction industry is starved of stimulus, is starved of government expenditure, or that the burden of taxation falls most heavily on the have-nots of this nation rather than on the haves. [More…]
There has been a major change in the nature of the training- from formal courses to on-the-job training which is more directly related to industry’s needs. [More…]
At the Premiers Conference in June and, of course, since then, it has been made perfectly clear to the State governments that the Government, in line with its policy on federalism, recognises that both State and local governments are well placed to assume greater responsibility for locally based programs of this nature.

This inquiry should investigate all grains and all transport, storage and handling facilities for grains, should identify the most effective ways of dealing with existing and potential problems, and should consider the nature and extent of any government assistance for the implementation of its recommendations; .

The proposition deserves to be considered not only in relation to the nature of the Parliament but also in relation to the nature of its economic considerations. [More…]

There is a need for a new office block to house Commonwealth public servants because of the scattered and largely inadequate nature of the rental accommodation presently offered. [More…]
At the same time, bearing in mind the decentralised nature of the city, there would be a contribution to the local economy if some sort of building activity for Commonwealth public servants were embarked upon. [More…]
When I bring to the Government next year the question of amendments of a significant nature to the Broadcasting and Television Act, I will particularly ask the Government to consider this type of matter. [More…]

This is the type of aspect that the group must look at to make sure that the balance of nature is left and so that we can develop and exploit the reef- I do not use the word ‘exploit’ from the point of view of trying to take everything out of the Reef- in harmony with that natural balance. [More…]
There are disciplines that have to be imposed in order to preserve the natural balance of nature. [More…]
What we must do, if we look, for instance, at the Iwasaki project, is make sure that, if Iwasaki commences development because the laws of Queensland and the laws of the Commonwealth are such that he can now start development, that development conforms not only to the laws of local government, the State government and the national government but also to the laws of nature, and that if the development is there it is only to enhance the natural aspects of the area and certainly not to destroy them. [More…]

Within 50 years the nature of the average Australian must change- and it will change. [More…]
the traditional Aboriginal owners (if any) of that land understand the nature and purpose of the proposed action and, as a group, consent to it; and [More…]
the nature and course of technological change in industry; and [More…]
I have indicated that the Government takes the South Pacific seriously for a variety of reasons, but it is not merely my rhetoric and my undertakings made in this place or in announcements made at South Pacific Forums which are important; it is the very nature of the amounts given under the aid program. [More…]
At this juncture, not only is the amount not settled but also the nature of those programs has not been settled. [More…]
Of course my Department has been studying the possibility of encouraging organisations of that nature to establish in Australia. [More…]
If so, what was the nature of any such discussion and will he table any record of conversation of that discussion. [More…]
I think the answer that I gave last week made the nature of the discussion perfectly plain. [More…]
What effects will increases of this nature have on employment opportunities? [More…]
One of the main criticisms in that case arose from the fact that no expert evidence was called from people who might be considered leading authorities on the nature of Aboriginal land claims, namely, anthropologists. [More…]
This legislation will give some assistance of a declining nature to a section of the dried fruits industry. [More…]
It warns the growers that, unless they are able to require undertakings given by members who purport to represent them, they can expect further legislation of this nature and of the nature of the nitrogenous fertiliser legislation to withdraw direct government supportother than talk- from their industries. [More…]
This is only human nature but it is no use growers saying afterwards that they were not consulted. [More…]
I ask the Minister for Immigration and Ethnic Affairs (Mr MacKellar), who is at the table, to make sure that before another Bill of this nature is produced for Parliament to scrutinise copies of the legislation, or at least information on its general thrust, will be available to the industry more readily than as happened with this piece of legislation. [More…]
If it found that those things should happen, it was to inquire into what the nature and extent of the assistance should be, as well as for what period of time any recommended assistance should be provided. [More…]
We need to review the nature of and access to the foreign service. [More…]
Papua New Guinea has been put on notice tonight by the honourable member for Bonython (Dr Blewett) who indicated quite clearly that the quantum of aid to Papua New Guinea, quite apart from its nature, ought to be re-examined. [More…]
So not only did the Hayden Budget reduce aid expressed in terms of a percentage of the gross national product but also the aid program pursued by the Labor Party did not embrace the sorts of concepts which the honourable member for Bonython was calling for and which was implicit in the speech of the Deputy Leader of the Opposition, namely, a change in the nature of the aid programs. [More…]
The most dramatic changes that have occurred in the nature of Australian aid programs have occurred during the period in office of this Government. [More…]
Changes that we have made in the nature of our aid programs, particularly to the South Pacific to which the Deputy Leader of the Opposition referred, illustrate not merely that we can increase quantum in that area. [More…]
Not only has this Government introduced a conceptual framework to our foreign policy, restored relationships with other countries and furthered our role in the region in the important area of economic relations and trade relations with ASEAN and the South Pacific countries but also in the particular areas of importance to us as well as to them- we should never dismiss that element which is of some importance, namely, that we have a responsibility in our own region and not just to distant lands- we have not merely increased the amounts of money available but more particularly we have changed the nature of the programs to provide both flexibility and forward planning. [More…]
I regard this as being very much in the nature of a freak threat to the revenue collections of this country. [More…]
There has been a change in the nature of demand and the demand for steel belted radials has increased. [More…]
The exports from the rest of Australia were worth something of the nature of $600 per person. [More…]
We do not believe that people in Canberra can dictate the precise nature and structure or corporate and market size of a company, which the Opposition seems to believe it can do. [More…]
If the report is couched in the terms I have indicated- namely, that this building just cannot be brought to modern fire protection standards because of the manner in which extensions have been made to it, the nature of its structure and the complete lack of any rational communications or accesses within the building- I think that someone ought to say something about it and try to undertake the necessary corrective actions if possible. [More…]
We find first of all a whole series of broadcasts designed to prove, in the words of one of the broadcasters, ‘the inherently fascist nature of Zionism’. [More…]
Secondly, quite apart from the finances of the station, surely the Australian community can do without incitement to racial hatred of this nature. [More…]
Is it a fact that, at the time this sales tax was imposed, citizens of Australia were permitted to hold, possess and deal openly in gold coins of any nature in Australia, without having to seek the approval of the Reserve Bank of Australia. [More…]
Suspension of Pan IV of the Banking Act on 30 January 1976 removed the necessity for Australian residents to seek the approval of the Reserve Bank of Australia to hold, possess or deal in gold coins of any nature in Australia. [More…]
I asked the Premier the nature of the representation that he was hoping to achieve at the conference. [More…]
There is no doubt, if we are prepared to face what had been occurring plainly in Australia, that the tax laws of this country- the weight of taxation, the punitive nature of death, estate and gift duties- had caused people in small businesses of many kinds, whether in country towns, in the cities, or on farms, in an effort to hold those businesses together and to leave something to their children, to enter into a degree of complication in their affairs which was providing the only possible avenue of survival, especially in a low income situation which has been typical of many small businesses, whether on farms or otherwise. [More…]
He changed forever the nature of federal politics in this country, and not even the most conservative government this country has ever seen, the present Government, can ever change that. [More…]
I think we should recognise that the nature of the area is changing very dramatically as the honourable member for Werriwa clearly pointed out. [More…]
Committee information of a confidential nature which it considers essential to its purposes, without endangering the preservation of essential confidentiality. [More…]
The following list will give some indication of the possible nature of the material referred to in paragraph 21, but it is important that each matter be considered in the light of the particular circumstances: [More…]
In relation to oral evidence, the same considerations apply as to the contents of a classified document and as to information which, while not contained in a document, is of a Confidential, Secret or Top Secret nature. [More…]
Where a Parliamentary Committee is one which, by its nature, concentrates on the administrative aspects of government and the subject of the Committee’s inquiry is directed towards the examination of departmental administration and practice it is for the Permanent Head, with the general consent of the relevant Minister, to use his discretion as to the extent to which aspects of these guidelines such as the clearing of written evidence and the selection of witnesses, are to be followed. [More…]
These funds, which are broadly in the nature of accumulation trusts, are taxed at a rate equal to the maximum rate of personal tax and, in consequence of the proposed temporary increase of 11/2 per cent in the rates of personal income tax for 1978-79, the rate of tax applicable to the income of these funds is to be increased from 60 per cent to 6 11/2 per cent for the 1 978-79 financial year. [More…]
I understand that registered organisations are already familiar with the nature of the information to be maintained and furnished and that the provisions in the Bill generally are in accord with the wishes of that committee. [More…]
Undoubtedly if we were in the same position as the Senate with its Estimates committees which would enable us to dig more deeply into these aspects in all probability we would come up with a better understanding of the nature of the sorts of figures that he has offered to us tonight. [More…]
I do not think that anybody can logically disagree with that, although the very nature of the way in which we approach these matters demands some sensitivity particularly for the people who are in the unfortunate position of having to need welfare payments. [More…]
I believe that we have been looking at the nature of the programs themselves and developing the areas of need to a greater extent than previously has been the case. [More…]
We need therefore in this area to remove all the highly emotive language and all the value loaded speeches and to look at the nature of the conclusions to which Dr Podder came. [More…]
In a society where human nature abounds, we find that people have their own definitions of need and that some people regard themselves as being in great need when, in fact, they are jolly well off. [More…]
Because of the success that the Government has had in tackling inflation it is not unreasonable to make an adjustment of that nature at this time. [More…]
If we look at the very nature of the justification for the panel, it is they who have been making the important contribution, a contribution that will be available to the communities in the future. [More…]
Those members of this Parliament who have had the opportunity to visit remote Aboriginal communities where unemployment benefits are simply paid to the community, and there are no job opportunities- as there can never be, in view of the nature of the community- have found that to do that without a corresponding form of community development function has been destructive of the morale of the people and of their ability to develop and maintain their community. [More…]
-Never before have I spoken in this House on South Africa or southern Africa; but today is a very important day in respect of that part of the world for one overriding reason: Today the SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations is to suggest to the Security Council the nature of the United Nations peacekeeping or supervisory force which is to go into the former territory of South West Africa, the territory of Namibia. [More…]
The present system of penalty rates applying to the tourist and accommodation industry is in fact completely incompatible with the nature of an industry which is a seven-day-a-week around-the-clock industry. [More…]
I enjoy the continual carping of the honourable member for Chifley, who keeps reminding me of his basic nature, but I do feel that on matters as important as this it does seem right that the Opposition should adopt a slightly more serious tone. [More…]
I must say that I welcome the introduction of measures of this nature as I welcome the introduction of measures aimed at stopping tax avoidance of an improper nature which is, in effect, evasion by people using tax devices of a kind that this Government has worked so hard to oppose. [More…]
One has to look at the nature of a number of Aboriginal communities in outback areas and wonder about their long term economic viability. [More…]
Has the AAEC or any other Government instrumentality provided printed guidelines of the counter measures necessary depending on the nature of the possible accidents at the AAEC establishment at Lucas Heights, for the use of [More…]
Specific arrangements to be made at the time of an accident depending upon its nature, location, severity and prevailing climatic conditions. [More…]
The decision to discontinue particular collections took into account the nature of those collections: it was necessary to choose self-contained projects so that their termination would not have major repercussions on any related projects and therefore on users, and it was also necessary for the chosen projects to be small to medium in size so that it was possible not to concentrate the whole of the impact on one sector. [More…]
1) A private survey of a limited nature was conducted by J. H. Martin of the Cancer Institute, Melbourne in 1955. [More…]
That is blatant action of a vested nature and of a political kind by the Australian Labor Party. [More…]
Mr Killen will soon provide details of nuclear waste buried at Maralinga … Mr Killen is also expected to reveal for the first time the extent and nature of weapons testing at Maralinga. [More…]
My Government believes that a searching public enquiry of this nature is essential if full and effective information is to be gathered, and the quite understandable fears of the public at large are to be allayed. [More…]
Because of the nature of the allegation implicit in Mr Barnard’s question, I had urgent inquiries made of the Department of Supply. [More…]
“We have monitored the areas, we know what is there and we have discovered nothing unexpected in our monitoring either in nature or quantity. [More…]
Because of the nature of the allegation implicit in his question, I had urgent inquiries made by the Department of Supply. [More…]
We have monitored the areas, we know what is there and we have discovered nothing unexpected in our monitoring either in nature or quantity. [More…]
I should have thought that that would have established the circumstances in which one would have wanted to ask further questions about its very nature. [More…]
But at the same time I would have thought that, having in mind the fact that the recommendation of AIRAC was seeking to overturn the suggestion or recommendation of the Australian Atomic Weapons Tests Safety Committee, the nature of the recommendations would have caused him to ask questions. [More…]
The circumstances and nature of that event, I hope, will be looked at and regarded by other young people who might fall under the influence of such organisations as perhaps being a lesson for them and not such as which would induce them to follow and do likewise. [More…]
I have since been informed that there has been a diminution in the capability of the State Dockyard with respect to a ship of this nature. [More…]
All I wish to do is to draw attention to the fact that the attacks are based on inaccurate information, whatever may be their style and their nature and whatever they show about him. [More…]
State intervention must therefore be of a different nature than just organising capital more efficiently. [More…]
Its intervention needs to be of the nature whereby major private firms are taken into public ownership and investment expenditure decisions in those firms made from that position. [More…]
Does it have a policy of arrant and rank socialism of this nature? [More…]
State intervention must therefore be of a different nature than just organising capital more efficiently. [More…]
Its intervention needs to be of the nature whereby major private firms are taken into public ownership and investment expenditure decisions in those firms made from that position- that is, the position of public ownership. [More…]
The reality is that in an election situation the Prime Minister and his responsible Ministers committed every honourable member opposite clearly and unequivocally to the view that if this Government were to be re-elected every pensioner in Australia, no matter what was the level of the pension or the nature of it, would not have his situation made worse. [More…]
It does seem to me that in its discriminatory nature this is a peculiarly vicious provision, but it also seems a rather odd provision to be introduced at the very time when the Government is beginning to admit its responsibilities in relation to unemployment and the unemployed. [More…]
-I enter this debate to take up some of the points made by the honourable member for Murray (Mr Lloyd) and to say that, given the nature and the dimension of the problem of unemployment as it is in Australia today, nothing will justify to the young people of this community or to those who are unemployed the sorts of specious arguments that have just been advanced by the honourable member for Murray, although I believe that he was well motivated. [More…]
The sooner this Parliament says as a parliament that there is no simple remedy, that there is a deep and profound economic crisis right throughout the Western world which is affecting Australia, and that when it occurred the Whitlam Government was in office and its great tragedy and its great mistake was that it did not perceive either the nature or the dimension of what was occurring in Western society and continued to try to implement its program unconscious of the fact or unable to comprehend that the great boom in Western industrialised society was over the better it will be. [More…]
But, and this is most important for patients from the two wars, even where treatment was effective, and there has been no relapse, it took time sometimes a very long time for the healing process of nature to assert itself. [More…]
That is the nature of medical practice in the large industrial and metropolitan areas of Melbourne. [More…]
Some will choose to bulk bill, given the nature of their practices, and some will not. [More…]
I can see that great and positive advantages can accrue to charter operators who, by their very nature, have to promote very hard overseas to generate more and more traffic to this country. [More…]
The Government is loath to allow any development within the marketplace of a protective or privileged nature. [More…]
Both Australia and New Zealand are working in the closest harmony, goodwill and cooperation to achieve objectives that will ensure the development and continued peaceful nature of the Pacific generally. [More…]
It falls far short of the standards that I thought he would have upheld in matters of this nature. [More…]
In addition, I have received a large number of individual complaints from travel agents, all voicing concern at the discriminatory nature of the ACTU Jetset proposal. [More…]
what was the nature of these breaches, and [More…]
This improvement in competitiveness could result from the additional size or the complementary nature of plant and equipment, staff, finance, know-how or property which amalgamation may achieve. [More…]
Let me say that if the honourable gentleman felt that there was a matter that he should pursue he should know, although I must admit that the knowledge of honourable members opposite of the Standing Orders is fairly defective, that under the Standing Orders a motion of that nature could be canvassed in this House at any time by means of a substantive motion. [More…]
In some respects this argument clearly is correct, but it overlooks the fact that in many cases the task performed by the machine is of a repetitive or at least an uninspiring nature. [More…]
Sometimes these restraints have been of a political nature, but generally they have been financial. [More…]
Recently in the course of handling a constituent’s social security problem I had the occasion to talk to a departmental officer whose job, I believe, is to handle problems of this nature. [More…]
2 ) What is the nature of these works. [More…]
Does the Corporation propose to undertake any more shipments of this nature; if so, when. [More…]
Any further shipments of this nature will depend upon a detailed assessment of the outcome of the trial. [More…]
In these areas, the display of notices of a political nature would not be condoned by Australia Post. [More…]
An investigation led by Professor David Ferguson of the School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine, University of Sydney into the health of employees at Lucas Heights has been undertaken and in the preliminary report there was no evidence to show that the health of employees was being affected because of the nature of the industry. [More…]
Is it a fact that under the Aboriginal Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act the Northern Land Council must be satisfied that traditional land owners understand the nature and purpose of the draft Ranger agreement and as a group consent to it? [More…]
I think the Government’s continuing response in relation to situations of this nature would provide not only the Lebanese community butother Australian residents with confidence that we would react positively and humanely to situations which may occur. [More…]
I take this opportunity to say that there is often much criticism in Australia about parliamentary delegations of this nature. [More…]
Secondly, particularly in relation to a delegation to India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, it is very difficult for most Australians, certainly most Australian politicians- this includes myself- to make the imaginative jump between the nature of our society and the nature of the societies they are visiting. [More…]
So I hope that instituted in these departments will be more programs anticipatory rather than reactive in nature. [More…]
While the rail and tramway services provide relatively high quality travel on a radial basis from the city, there is a tremendous lack of services of the circumferential nature. [More…]
Almost nowhere in that corridor is there any proper co-ordination between different modes of transport so that people involved in changes from train to bus are inevitably suffering waiting periods, sometimes of an extensive nature, rarely with proper provision for shelter. [More…]
The selection of routes for public transport tends to be highly arbitrary in nature and after-hours services, that is, services of an evening or at a weekend, are next to impossible. [More…]
I can understand all these problems but it does seem to me that it is far more important for this Parliament to say clearly to the Minister for Transport so that he will say to Qantas that, given the nature of Australian society- it is a nation that has people drawn from many origins and religious beliefs, or none- as a nation state operating internationally there is no way we will accept a position where we will be told that any Australian citizen who seeks to fly out of Australia to anywhere in the world will have his rights restricted by the views of another nation state in terms of its perceived view of a religious belief or of a political belief. [More…]
The Commonwealth does regard this conference as important because of its specific nature. [More…]
The second case is similar in nature. [More…]
If the Government is not considering something of a more attractive nature, such a project, in my view, would be ideal for absorbing at minimum cost, the unemployed Vietnamese and many of our Aboriginal people in the Northern Territory. [More…]
This relatively inflexible nature of fuel use also reflects the high level of capital investment in farm machinery. [More…]
State schools, particularly secondary, are seeing the changing nature of the migrant intake. [More…]
-I suggested earlier that the honourable member for Hotham withdraw a remark of a similar nature when it was objected to by the honourable member for Reid. [More…]
They do not have any real effect upon the present structure and nature of the Queensland Labor Party. [More…]
The misguided nature of the Government’s economic policies is now widely recognised in the community. [More…]
I want to discuss a few of the programs which show the baseless nature of the Opposition’s matter of public importance today. [More…]
Although the nature of these further amendments will depend on the final decision of the court, it is envisaged that amendments may be necessary either to ensure that employers do not suffer any loss of deductions or to ensure that employers do not gain any double benefit-for example, by having had a deduction when payment is made and by also being found entitled to deductions at the time of accrual. [More…]
Following consideration of comments from the export community and further study by departments, the Government intends to move a number of amendments to the Bill which are essentially of a technical nature. [More…]
Not the least of those interests would be manufacturing interests, some of a joint interest nature, particularly in the solar energy field, and agricultural interests, the difficulties of which we have been discussing. [More…]
The State teachers college was located in fibro buildings of a very temporary nature which, like this Parliament House, were expected to serve for a much longer period than temporary structures ought to serve. [More…]
When the nature of the Australian Conservation Foundation is considered, other honourable members also may seriously question the propriety of giving that organisation one cent of the taxpayers’ money. [More…]
Anyone who doubts the nature of the ACF need only examine its publications. [More…]
In the ACF June newsletter, ACF councillor, Mr K. Vallance, openly proclaimed the political nature of conservation. [More…]
He defines conservation as: ‘The planned management and wise use of nature’s resources- as a whole as well as separately’. [More…]
He outlined to this House and to the country the long term nature of unemployment and the associated social problems that must be recognised and taken to heart not just by the Government but by every person and every section of our society. [More…]
I refer briefly to the subject of industrial safety and health in Australia with particular reference to the nature of the Australian work force which is increasingly multi-cultural. [More…]
The House might be interested to know the extent to which certain rates have moved down over the course of the year and the nature of the reductions: Australian savings bonds by one per cent; finance company oneyear borrowings by 1.25 per cent, and five-year borrowings by 1.37 per cent; industrial debentures, 10 years, for top companies, by 1 Vi per cent- it is worth noting that borrowing by the Broken Hill Pty Co. Ltd broke through the 10 per cent barrier a little while ago; life office commercial mortgage rates, by one per cent; finance company mortgage rates by up to 2 per cent; bank bills, 180 days by 0.9 per cent; long term Commonwealth bonds, by 1.54 per cent; and, as I am advised, in respect of larger borrowings, trading bank overdraft rates, by 0. [More…]
At this point I am not inclined to give the assurance sought by the honourable member, not because I want to create speculation that there might be some decision taken that would allow Bankstown Airport to have jet facilities, but because I have purposefully- I use that word advisedly- not come to any conclusions on any of the suggestions of that nature simply so that when the MANS study is properly concluded and has reported individually to the State Minister and to me on the needs of Sydney we will be able to come to tight decisions without too much emotion. [More…]
The suggestion by the Minister that the deferments or cut-backs- use what word you wishare of a temporary nature is very similar to the suggestion of a former British Prime Minister, Mr Pitt, when he introduced income tax. [More…]
We need to redefine the nature of work. [More…]
The most dominant of its responsibilities covered in the estimates is the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation which is dominant in both the scale of its operation, with an appropriation of $ 141m of a total of $224.5 m, with a total staff of over 6,700 and in the nature of its work. [More…]
One of the important factors, of course, is the unique nature of the biological resources in Australia; the fart that so much is found that is unique to this continent. [More…]
If so, what is the nature of these studies. [More…]
I think that says something about the nature of this prosecution and something about the purpose of this prosecution. [More…]
The outlook for Australia’s security is one in which threats of a traditional nature are not visible. [More…]
They were wrong for 20 years about the problem developing in southern Africa because of the nature of the regimes there. [More…]
A number of other amendments of a routine nature are to be made to the principal Act. [More…]
I think the morale of the forces, depleted though they be, is of a very high nature, particularly in comparison with what it was just a few years ago. [More…]
The situation that applied before was such that because of the restrictive nature of the legislation and because of difficulties in administering it, it became in practice virtually impossible to prosecute public servants for acts of negligence concerning Commonwealth property. [More…]
-The Audit Amendment Bill normally would not be ventilated with the same exuberance as is being demonstrated tonight except for the fact that legislation committees are meeting this evening and it is the view of the Parliament, in its corporate state that there ought to be nothing of a highly controversial nature taking place in the House. [More…]
Nothing of an adequate nature can be said about the chairman of that inquiry, Dr Coombs, not only in respect of that report but also in respect of so many other matters. [More…]
-The nature of the question indicates a misapprehension on the part of the honourable member for Bonython as to the effect of the announcement I made yesterday about the Government’s decision not to go ahead with the proposed foreign tax credit system. [More…]
Although I am a New South Welshman, because of the very nature of what is proposed, I acknowledge immediately that it is appropriate for it to be in western Queensland; that it is a project specifically to recognise the Australian stockman. [More…]
Reports of marine pollution, both international and Australian, continually reminded the Committee of the topical nature of the subject throughout the course of the inquiry. [More…]
Opposition to the project has ranged from genuine criticisms in respect of the dangers to the local environment to the possible infringement of civil liberties and the reasonable demand that projects of this nature should have some Australian equity. [More…]
I have not time, in a debate of this nature and with the limited time at my disposal, to deal with all the erroneous charges that have been levelled against the Farnborough project. [More…]
The second reading speeches on the Bills describe their nature and what the Government will be achieving with these important pieces of legislation. [More…]
In response to broad responsibilities for pollution abatement and the assessment of the state of the environment, the Government has sought to establish consistent nationwide approaches through the Australian Environment Council and the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers. [More…]
This Bill, which is largely machinery in nature, will facilitate the use of the IED Trust Account for that purpose. [More…]
But the very nature of the Western Australian economy requires a substantial public infrastructure presence, particularly in the field of telecommunications. [More…]
I am not entering into the merits of the argument and the nature of the call that was made, but I do not think it was appropriate then for Judge Kirby to say in respect of that call that this test before an election of the conscience of a politician and the conscience of the electorate when voting for members of parliament represented an undue pressure on politicians. [More…]
What is evident is that this kind of licence is producing a disastrous situation in the two areas in which it has been granted and I suggest that the experience of these two radio stations clearly should indicate to the Broadcasting Tribunal and to the Minister for Post and Telecommunications (Mr Staley) that this kind of licence should never again be issued and that steps should be taken to alter the nature of these licences so that these stations can either become fully commercial stations and, therefore, fully answerable to the requirements of the Act in other matters, or become non-commercial. [More…]
I understand that the board is united in its opposition to the methods adopted by the previous management but I do regret that it does appear that the former management was correct in ignoring the requirements on the Broadcasting Tribunal, because, I am told, those requirements on advertising cannot be effectively enforced due to the bad nature of the Act. [More…]
In view of the very serious nature of circumstances being investigated by an official inquiry in New South Wales into his private company affairs, and covering incidents subsequent to January 1976, will he consider standing down until that inquiry is completed, as did three of his ministerial colleagues in circumstances which could be said to be somewhat similar in that their propriety was cast into serious doubt, as his clearly has been? [More…]
The nature of the payments and whence made must also await that report. [More…]
-AU I am putting to you, Mr Speaker, is that on precedent that you have established here you have allowed questions of a similar nature to be raised. [More…]
1 do not know the nature of the allegation, but I heard the remark. [More…]
the traditional Aboriginal owners (if any) of that land understand the nature and purpose of the proposed action and, as a group, consent to it; and [More…]
This Bill proposes a number of amendments of an administrative nature to the Weights and Measures (National Standards) Act 1960 that have arisen from experience in its operation. [More…]
It reveals the fraudulent nature of the so-called new federalism, the misconceptions or deceptions involved in the Government’s economic strategy, the Government’s remarkable unconcern at the appalling plight of the building and construction industry, the doctrinaire approach that marks the Government’s continued assault on the public sector and the way in which the Government’s policy is exacerbating the already horrendous problem of unemployment. [More…]
I refer those who might question whether my charge about the contracting nature of the Government’s economic strategy is correct to the figures in the Budget. [More…]
Receipts are expected to increase by 1 1 per cent overall whereas expenditure is expected to increase by only something in the nature of 7 per cent to 8 per cent. [More…]
Let me now back up the charge I make about the myopic nature of the Government’s policies. [More…]
That is merely one illustration of the myopic nature of the policy adopted by the Government in introducing these measures in isolation. [More…]
Indications of the nature of the industry can be gleaned from the fact that the local manufacturing witnesses at the IAC inquiry employed about 1,400 persons and made up just over 40 per cent of the domestic market. [More…]
However, our temporary, reluctant pessimism is associated with the limited and misguided nature of the Fraser Government’s policies. [More…]
The basis for this report was a referral by the Minister for Business and Consumer Affairs in December 1976 of the question whether assistance should be accorded to the manufacture in Australia of metal working machine tools after the termination of the Metal Working Tool Bounty Act 1972, the provisions of which have been extended until 30 June 1979 and, if so, what should be the nature and extent of any such assistance. [More…]
The pattern of delegation varies from department to department and reflects such considerations as the nature and purposes of individual appropriations and the size and individual spread of departments. [More…]
If so, what is the nature of those arrangements. [More…]
What is the nature of the data stored by each computer. [More…]
If so, (a) what is the nature of the new structure under consideration, (b) what prompted the move, (c) on whose direction is the move taking place, (d) what consultation has taken place with the Public Service Board, (e) what has been the outcome of those consultations and (f) when will he announce the nature of the Department’s new arrangements. [More…]
Any idea which tends to promote Australia’s trade and the export of its primary products, be they of an agricultural or a mining nature, certainly is deserving of encouragement. [More…]
Honourable gentlemen might be unaware of the nature of the inconvenience that can be caused to other passengers. [More…]
The nature of the regime does not matter nor do its economic policies. [More…]
It is not a matter for the Commonwealth Government to get involved in funding projects of that nature. [More…]
The peculiar nature of agriculture in Australia has led to a situation where those involved in agriculture are peculiarly in need of long term finance. [More…]
I am staggered to find that honourable members opposite do not even seem to realise the nature of the Bank. [More…]
For the first time rural producers will have certainty in their borrowing for development, for the refinancing of their existing short-term debts and for rural land acquisition purposes of a developmental nature. [More…]
This Bill, which is largely machinery in nature, will facilitate the use of the IED Trust Account for that purpose. [More…]
) If so, what is the nature of that interest. [More…]
What is the nature of the data stored by each computer. [More…]
Mr Finnane has also made it perfectly plain that some earlier allegations about the nature of some of his inquiries or the purpose of a letter were in fact untrue. [More…]
It is to be hoped that the Government of the Soviet Union will do likewise and direct its energies towards the same objective and refrain from further activities of a nature likely to damage mutually beneficial relations. [More…]
The serious damage done to the public interest in Australia by the provocative nature of the Government’s industrial legislation. [More…]
All of the Government’s legislation has been of a punitive nature. [More…]

Apart from amendments implementing the recommendations of the Family Law Council, the Bill also includes a small number of amendments of a largely formal or minor nature to facilitate the operation of the Act. [More…]
I realise that it is not always easy to assess the effect of advertising of this nature, but I think we should try. [More…]

At the beginning of the honourable member’s address to this chamber I thought seriously about raising and canvassing that issue but in view of the nature and relationship of the Prime Minister (Mr Malcolm Fraser) to the individual who received the loan I felt that it was hardly the right and proper thing to do.

A number of large-scale works of this nature pass through this House at fairly regular intervals. [More…]

It should be made clear that judgments which are penal in nature are already not enforceable in Australia. [More…]
However, if a judgment is in part penal and in part compensatory, the non-penal part of the judgment can be enforced if it is severable from that part of the judgment which is penal in nature. [More…]
I do not think that anyone would doubt that treble damages are penal in nature. [More…]
A company might not like the amount of damages awarded by a foreign court, but provided the damages are not penal in nature and the foreign court had jurisdiction to decide the case the company is not entitled to complain. [More…]

As the honourable member for Hawker has indicated to me that I should utilise the time that is remaining for General Business matters, let me point out that the whole gamut of what I have been saying is set out in Article 14 of a convention of the United Nations which, in part, says that all persons shall be equal before courts and tribunals; they will be entitled to be informed promptly and in detail in a language which they understand of the nature and cause of the charge; they will be entitled to have adequate time and facilities for the preparation of defence; they will be entitled to be tried in their presence and to defend themselves in person or through legal assistance of their own choosing.

Until now, the backroom nature of the involvement of the organisers has made investigation, and subsequently proof in the courts, virtually impossible. [More…]

[More…]
I should like to take this opportunity to explain to honourable members in some further detail the nature of the obligations Australia is now assuming as these relate to the Government’s existing policies. [More…]
When we first read the Foreign Minister’s statement, despite the somewhat grim nature of the events he is describing, it is impossible not to detect a note of relief because international politics have, according to him, turned from international economic matters- of which the Foreign Minister has never had the best comprehension- to the traditional issues of power politics which are now of fundamental importance. [More…]
It has been suggested in some quarters that the nature of the Pol Pot regime of Kampuchea provided some justification for Vietnam’s invasion. [More…]

Let me say something about the nature of the amendments which are contained in the legislation. [More…]
To explain this position I need to give some background by setting out the original nature of the Tribunal’s operations, by outlining the rationale for a PJT body, by surveying this Government’s history of what I call malign neglect of the Tribunal’s role and, lastly, by establishing the destructive effects of these major amendments of which I have reminded the House. [More…]
Firstly, there were the 1976 amendments to the Act which substantially modified the nature of the Tribunal’s role and considerably reduced the number of firms subject to the surveillance of the Tribunal. [More…]
To try to make the equation that the Arbitration Commission considers wages, therefore a Prices Justification Tribunal has to consider prices, is to forget the nature of the Australian economy with which we deal, to forget that there is no equation in that kind of argument. [More…]
The Tribunal is going to be able to engage in public inquiry measures of a wider nature than it does now. [More…]

Having regard to the deliberate and repeated use of the word ‘unlawfully’ in Section 65 of the Crimes Act 1958 and the nature of the offence created and the history thereof and in light of the authorities and views of learned authors to which I have referred, it appears to me that necessity is the appropriate principle to apply to determine whether a therapeutic abortion is lawful or unlawful within the meaning of Section 65 ‘. [More…]
On principle there seems to be no distinction between the nature of the crime committed because of an alleged necessity. [More…]
In an ideal world we would not have abortions apart from those induced by nature itself. [More…]
The item number clearly identifies the nature of the medical procedure. [More…]

[More…]
To indicate the relevance to honourable members, I would hazard a guess that problems of this nature beset the wives- or mothers in the case of the few younger honourable members- of at least 30 members of this House and probably more. [More…]
Such intuitions about the nature and the value of new human life are shared by both those who welcome and those who would turn away from the unborn. [More…]

Because of the nature and, as it would seem, the increasing tempo of industrial disputes at the present time, mostly related to increased wage claims, the Government will be looking with some urgency at the nature of the immediate response that ought to be given by its own employing agencies, instrumentalities and statutory corporations. [More…]
Since, by their nature, the advances are contingency funds no precise estimate of requirements can be made. [More…]
I raise this matter because this is one of the few opportunities which arise in this Parliament to deal with specific matters of this nature. [More…]
My criticism of this Bill has been based mainly on its restrictive environmental nature and, further, on the rather niggardly attitude of the States concerning the period of repayment of the amount involved. [More…]
What we are looking at is an authority which will be able to appreciate both the symbolic and functional nature of the task upon which it is going to embark. [More…]
The Committee in a sense will be the watchdog of the Parliament and in another sense will tell those who are vitally interested the detail and nature of the building and the interrelationships between various facilities. [More…]

The 7 per cent reduction in manpower costs has been achieved even while well-deserved improvements to service terms and conditions were being made and while qualitative improvements, in the nature of long-term investment, were also being made- and continue to be made- in Australian defence manpower. [More…]

I believe that the nature of this legislation will improve significantly the administration of the passport jurisdiction. [More…]

The fact is that the Minister knows, because of the very nature of the utterances that he has made, that the statements that he has made are designed not to produce industrial settlement but to provoke and inflame the situation. [More…]

I now wish to deal briefly with another dispute of a different nature. [More…]

The role of the Committee has evolved over this period with the growth and changing nature of Canberra itself. [More…]
14 are of an administrative nature only. [More…]
It allows a relatively small group of individuals to shift their tax burden to those who cannot enter into such schemes because of the size or nature of their incomes or to those who, while being able to do so, choose not to participate. [More…]
Students of our taxation law and practice will be aware of the formidable nature of this task. [More…]
Scales and tables presented to this House by the spokesmen on this issue for the Opposition last night indicate clearly the reasons for the uncompetitive nature of many rail operations. [More…]
It would appear, regrettably, at least to this point, that governments continue to avoid serious consideration of the fundamental question whether railway facilities essential to the nature of our country- with its vast distances and sparsity of population- should be free from the crippling yoke of interest payments which seriously limit their ability properly to service the community in the national interest. [More…]
But established clearly on one’s first introduction to the island is the fact that the island is so unique in character that any significant intrusion of more sophisticated civilised societies- I mean no offence when using that term- could imperil the delicate nature of the society and the island.

They are shoved from country to country and left to the mercy of nature. [More…]

With some knowledge of human nature, having been involved in many investigations of serious criminal matters before I was elected to Parliament I believe that to be true. [More…]
I should imagine that he would do everything to voice his opinion and to get the Norfolk Island people to protest at this situation, although it does not actually affect the indigenous people who, particularly when I first went to the island in 1961-62, have lived by the principle of ‘give me neither poverty nor riches’ because they want to live in contentment with nature. [More…]
Everything that the honourable member for Hunter said about the island and the place that it represents, the fishing, the nature of the people there and their customs, is absolutely correct. [More…]
The Chairman may be wondering what relevance my remarks have to the clauses we are considering, but I think that I ought to be allowed some leniency because of the complicated nature of the amendments and the way in which they were presented. [More…]

1 ) Does the Government allow the import of whale products; if so, what is the nature of the products imported. [More…]
If so, what will be the nature of the representation and what will be the classification of those persons attending. [More…]
The situation is that there is a relationship between the Reserve Bank and the Wheat Board in the nature of a banker-customer relationship just as there is between any other bank and customer. [More…]
In addition, the problems of suburban dwellers are vastly different from those of people living in rural areas, and this creates representation difficulties for a Member representing a seat which is mainly of a suburban nature. [More…]
But the large part of the sub-division which is of a rural nature, and which has nothing at all in common with the rest of the Perth seat, does not, and cannot, receive adequate representation from me. [More…]
Information services so far tend to be largely personal in nature and, therefore, labour intensive. [More…]
He -argues, I think very plausibly, that if one examines the various categories of people who would, like to work but who for various reasons, having regard to the nature of the labour force, are reluctant to compete with other people who are obviously unemployed and perhaps unemployable, one will find that we have a large concealed unemployed and under-employed figure. [More…]
But obviously the unstated purposes for which these amounts have been increased are not of a desirable nature. [More…]
If we are to present a truly representative Budget- representative of the full extent and nature of public expenditure- then it is necessary for us to recognise that many taxpaying individuals and many taxpaying families receive cash benefits from the Government. [More…]
However, there are a number of other urgent matters of a bilateral nature which need our constant attention. [More…]
The mentioning of it would be unduly sensitively received not by the community as a whole but only by those who hold a doctrinaire commitment to socialism or something of that nature. [More…]

The honourable member for Bendigo has indicated the nature of his point of order. [More…]
To treat them the same is to miss the whole nature of the drug trade. [More…]
Of course, that will take some time because of the extensive nature of the region and the extensive nature of opium poppy growing in the area. [More…]
I am somewhat alarmed to find, and I have mentioned this before in this House, that one of the problems we have in this country, aside from the importation of drugs, is that drugs of a chemical nature can be manufactured by persons with some reasonable expertise in the field of chemistry. [More…]
But when we consider the nature and the requirements of research into the wool industry we see quite clearly that there can be no fall off in the funds made available for such research. [More…]
I support these Bills wholeheartedly, as does the entire National Country Party, which always take a significant, permanent and positive interest in matters of this nature. [More…]

The words which I quoted are now appearing in second reading speeches, irrespective of the nature of the Government’s decision on IAC or the TAA recommmendations. [More…]
Also, the Commission was given 12 months in which to consider the nature of long term assistance required in the production in this country of rotary cultivators. [More…]

Remembering that this recommendation came from the Temporary Assistance Authority and is of a temporary nature only, an Industries Assistance Commission inquiry is going on at the same time to determine what the long term nature of assistance should be. [More…]

I wish to refer firstly to the enormous task undertaken by the Minister for Transport in tackling what was one of the toughest problems confronting tourism, that of the nature of air fares and the relationships between this country and, I think, 39 or 40 other countries as well as the problem of the internal transport situation.

However, I thought that my better nature demanded that I stay on it. [More…]

I just hope that at some time in this place we can gain from the people opposite the courtesy we will never gain by any means other than example- certainly not by appeals to their better nature. [More…]

In some cases overseas companies have placed orders in Australia as offsets which because of their nature will be spread over a number of years. [More…]

I do not think I need to repeat just what a fantastic masterpiece of nature the Great Barrier Reef is. [More…]
The joint nature of these arrangements is underpinned by the constitutional questions which are now being discussed by the AttorneyGeneral, Senator Durack, and with the Queensland Ministers. [More…]
It is a response we should make, not only because we have committed ourselves to certain official international obligations but also because the very nature of this horrendous situation demands a spontaneous and humanitarian response. [More…]

An examination of the personnel and structure of that Committee will indicate the difficulties which exist in having it meet on any regular basis and certainly one can see the difficulties which exist in examining proposals which would be considered to be of a reformist nature. [More…]
By its very nature it is a status quo committee. [More…]
I assume that the Opposition would not be satisfied with an annual report that just listed the name of the DirectorGeneral and said that the organisation had functioned; it would want information about the nature of the organisation, what it is doing and the way in which it exercises its special powers, particularly the powers that are designed to assist it in collecting information. [More…]
It will be of more advantage to Russian security organisationsthe KGB or something of that nature- for them to know how much money is going into ASIO, where it is spent and what are its priorities. [More…]
The Opposition strongly opposes clause 8 (2) (c) for its restrictions on the power of the Attorney-General to give specific directions ‘concerning the nature of the advice that should be given by ASIO to a Minister, Department or authority of the Commonwealth’. [More…]
The approach should be one of national importance, not parochial in nature. [More…]
I repeat that we accept that this interim report from Mr Justice Williams is of a confidential nature. [More…]
But the other two matters- that is, the communication of intelligence relating to individuals and the nature and advice to be given to a Minister- are matters that should not fall within the sole jurisdiction of the DirectorGeneral. [More…]
The honourable member cannot lay a charge of that nature unless he does so through the proper forms of the House, and this is not such an occasion. [More…]
The Standing Committee’s report has been drawn to the attention of members of the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers, the Australian Environment Council and the Recreation Ministers’ Council. [More…]
Despite their claims, the ORV enthusiasts have not succeeded in rewriting these rules in the way that nature understands. [More…]
That was the name of the portfolio in earlier days- request the Council of Nature Conservation Ministers to develop national guidelines for legislation and management policy regarding off-road vehicles. [More…]

Of course, if the subversion is very real and very dangerous there must certainly be a fair amount of evidence as to its reality and the dangerous nature of it. [More…]
However, this would not allow it to conduct surveillance of people because they might engage in rhetoric or have something in the constitution of their organisation to bring about an ultimate change in the nature of society. [More…]
He was concerned not merely because it was another strike, but because involved in that strike were quite powerful communist elements, who made no bones of the fact that they intended to alter the nature of government within Australia. [More…]
The very nature of the ASIO beast ensures that security will remain a matter of subjective definition. [More…]
I guess that many Australians are concerned to see some quite fundamental reforms made to the nature of the Australian state. [More…]
Inevitably it will affect groups of people who certainly have no revolutionary purpose, no purpose whatever to change the nature of the state of this society. [More…]
From the very nature of the subversive acts intended to be kept under surveillance it must be a matter of judgment, both by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation as well as by society, because a mixture of social, political and constitutional elements of the framework of Australian democracy are involved. [More…]
The point is that we should not give our security intelligence forces responsibilities for legal interpretations which by their very nature must involve some subjective analysis as to whether there has been force, or whether the actions in question, are an essential part of the political fabric of the particular organisation which is under scrutiny, and use of that force is part of the ongoing methods that they regard as both legitimate and proper. [More…]
Some people have an inquisitive nature. [More…]
If it were maliciously damaging property or something of that nature such activity would be unlawful. [More…]
Supposing we take the criticisms expressed in another place by Senator Hamer, for example, about the ramshackle nature of our defence operation and how ineffectual it is. [More…]
Reform of institutions of this nature is very slow. [More…]
The nature of some of the examples given would not be harmful even to the extent that they may obstruct, hinder or interfere with the performance of the Defence Force in certain circumstances. [More…]
What we are saying is that if that is what it is all about, then that of its very nature is an illegal activity. [More…]
The intelligence authorities must be able to make a judgment of the character and nature of the activities of people. [More…]
There are situations which, on the balance of probabilities, warrant surveillance and warrant our being aware of certain activities because of their very nature, particularly those directed to promoting violence or hatred between groups that endanger the peace, order or good government of the Commonwealth, which have the character described by the honourable member for Lilley (Mr Kevin Cairns). [More…]
I always thought that it was the conservative parties that had the rather pessimistic view of the nature of man. [More…]
This is occurring despite the fact that revelations regarding some aspects of the scandalous nature of that fund have been made by members of the . [More…]

the allowance of deductions for outgoings to the extent that they are incurred in gaining or producing a taxpayer’s assessable income or are necessarily incurred by a taxpayer in carrying on a business for that purpose, except to the extent that the outgoings are of a capital, private or domestic nature. [More…]
Let me say to this House and to this nation that if I were to have clear evidence, even a shred of evidence, that the senior members of my party were associated with a scandal of great magnitude and of this nature, not for one moment would I be speaking to this motion. [More…]
The cost of the service to people who do not have a telephone and who need a service of that nature is exorbitant. [More…]
They will tolerate a level of taxation significantly below that which is tolerable in West Germany, for example, owing to the different nature of its people. [More…]
I want to address myself to matters of a general economic nature, particularly in light of the amendment of the honourable member for Gellibrand (Mr Willis). [More…]
Whilst eventually he perished at the ballot box- that is something to be regretted by people who did not vote for him then but who would like another chance- at least historians will probably regard the period of his rule, from 1972 to 1975, as one of the Camelots of Australian history; as a period when things of an egalitarian nature did happen and when a quality was returned to people so that they could expect that they would get something like a fair share of the cake. [More…]
My attention has been drawn to the Official Report of the Australian Parliamentary Delegation to Japan, July 1978.I have studied it with interest and would like to compliment members of the Delegation on its wide-ranging and detailed nature. [More…]
Because of the complex nature of the subject this examination requires some time, and advice and recommendations from Council are not expected before October. [More…]
You have, by precedent, allowed a question of an exactly similar nature. [More…]
On each occasion when we have sought to raise this matter in the Parliament there has been a determined and, I must confess, successful effort by members of the Government, spearheaded by the Prime Minister, to silence proper debate, to prevent the functioning in this Parliament of proper procedures, designed to establish whether in fact impropriety of a serious nature has occurred. [More…]
They have gone out of their way to commit sabotage of a physical nature, to commit industrial warfare on the building industry and to bring it to its knees. [More…]
The current inquiry into the Nature and Terms of Employment in the New South Wales Housing Industry being conducted by Mr G. A. Burns, former NSW Conciliation Commissioner, is creating widespread public interest. [More…]
Both these statements are false and their conflicting nature must raise in peoples minds, … a grave doubt about the credibility of statements made by the HIA in respect of this inquiry. [More…]
If an economic strike bears the nature of a spontaneous outburst, it does not thereby lose its political significance. [More…]
Presumably, because he alone knew of the nature of the earlier transactions, he was in a hurry to ensure that annual returns were concluded. [More…]
At the time when I was supposedly putting these false signatures on the documents not only did I do so knowing that I was handing the whole of the affairs to independent chartered accountants, but also I was doing it in the face of the fact that I had instructed those accountants to prepare and amend those very annual returns if they proved to be incorrect. [More…]
I certainly did not know of the nature of the dealings that were referred to in all of the accounts of the companies. [More…]
I told them of the nature and the manner in which I hoped to resolve them. [More…]
Quite plainly the Opposition has failed to understand from the outset that this matter involves an inquiry from the New South Wales Government and that if anything were to take place it would have to depend upon the outcome of that inquiry and the nature of the report. [More…]
We need to know and understand the nature of the Finnane inquiry. [More…]
I think it is worth noting that the Leader of the Opposition should understand precisely the nature of his own behaviour in these particular matters. [More…]
I told them of the nature and the manner in which I hoped to resolve them. [More…]
It is a perversion of justice and a prostitution of the laws of this country to carry out a conspiracy of this nature. [More…]
I point out to Liberal and other members of this Parliament that as they go through that Finnane report they will find that it is a well argued judgment of these affairs and that the findings are quite convincing in their nature. [More…]
It is our view and it has always been our view that when allegations of that nature are made the Minister, whoever he be, should stand down in order to maintain the integrity of office. [More…]
If counsel acting for and on behalf of a client believes that the nature of a jurisdiction or, indeed, the judge or the investigator, is for any reason likely to have bias in the conduct of an inquiry- it has happened time and again as you would be aware Mr Speaker-it is respectfully and properly pointed out and it is dealt with. [More…]
It probably would have been much more successful had the management arrangements for construction and marketing over a long period been more of a commercial nature. [More…]
A comprehensive summary setting out the nature of the duty changes is being circulated to honourable members. [More…]
Because of the essential nature of this airport, because of its location in respect to the tourist industry of Australia’s east coast, the Opposition wants to see services there approved as soon as possible. [More…]
It is premised on some basic misunderstandings of the nature of the economic crisis which faces the Western world and the nature of the problems which face Australian society. [More…]
Before World War II, I can remember well the learned discourses by experts in politics and military arts about World War II being unthinkable, that it could not happen, that no sane person could possibly plunge the world into another world war because of the horrible nature of modern weapons. [More…]
A Commonwealth-States working party has been set up to identify the exact nature and extent of unmet needs in the teaching of English as a second language in schools. [More…]
The nature of the grants is such that they should be a continuing program. [More…]
I would like to deal in some detail with the Government’s view of the deficit because clearly, over the last several years, there has been a great deal said in this Parliament and outside it about the nature of the deficit. [More…]
They are the matters on which the honourable member for Gellibrand spoke at such length, namely, the nature of the deficit to be made up of the credits and the debits ofthe three funds- the Consolidated Revenue Fund, the Loan Fund and the Trust Fund- as well as the conception of the interest rate structure in the Australian economy. [More…]
Traditionally the Loan Bill is a mechanical Bill that has to do with the nature of funding of the Consolidated Revenue Fund that is carried on so that the normal services of government can be developed during a particular year. [More…]
The nature of the deficit to which the Bill is directed needs to be supported because it deals not only with the economy this year but also with the burdens which will lie upon the Australian people in the mid-1980s. [More…]
We would welcome your views about the nature of the various training programs. [More…]
That is the sort of mess that we find ourselves in when we come to a debate of this nature. [More…]
The Constitution states that the Federal Government has powers to legislate for a Conciliation and Arbitration Commission to settle disputes of an interstate nature. [More…]
The requirement of consultation raises problems of a legal, industrial and constitutional nature, all of which illustrate that the proposed amendment is ill-conceived and ought to be withdrawn. [More…]
When it suits the Government it introduces legislation of this nature for the express purpose of attempting to cajole the unions and the Commission into giving effect to its policies. [More…]
In addition, the protracted nature of a section 143 hearing would have ensured that even if the application were successful substantial injury to the public interest would have occurred from any protracted industrial action. [More…]
When has legislation of this nature ever solved a major industrial dispute? [More…]
An officer seconded for duty as Private Secretary to a Minister or member of the Federal Executive Council or to the Leader of the Opposition in either House of the Parliament, shall, upon the termination of his employment in that capacity, be entitled to appointment to an office in the Service of such status and salary as are determined by the Board, having regard to the office held by the officer prior to his being seconded for such duty and to the period and nature of his employment as Private Secretary. [More…]
Have the petitioners been advised of the falsity and defamatory nature of those allegations. [More…]
It is the responsibility of a Land Council, rather than that of its Chairman, to satisfy itself that the traditional Aboriginal owners of any Aboriginal land understand the nature and purpose of any proposed action in connection with that land. [More…]
Quite plainly one of the factors- let me stress it would be only one of a number of important factors- taken into account will be the nature of the offer, whence it comes, whether it involves Australian ownership or otherwise. [More…]
It should be noted that these exemptions are of a transitional nature as they apply only to students already in Australia. [More…]
The honourable member for Dundas did not talk about the name of the Bill or the nature of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission which is charged with the responsibility of settling industrial disputes. [More…]
I could understand if the Government had gone a little further and said that in cases of this nature a commissioner must sit with the presidential member. [More…]
The proposed statutory requirement for consultation is clearly procedural in nature. [More…]
The word ‘consult’ is by its very nature not a specific one but its meaning is evident. [More…]
What is the nature of the claims that come before the Commission? [More…]
I think we face a period of potentially very great instability, very great uncertainty and very great sensitivity in industrial relations when the whole nature of employment as we have traditionally known it may be changed- undermined, as the honourable member for Melbourne Ports said, by technological change and similar developments. [More…]
Changes may occur of a nature which we do not yet fully comprehend. [More…]
We should conduct a debate in this House without restriction before we allow laws of this nature to go through the House. [More…]
We treat ourselves as a secondary partner on laws of this nature. [More…]
The Government would not dream of introducing, let alone implementing, laws of this nature against employer organisations. [More…]
If young men and women in Australia leave school with that sense of frustration and because the nature of training at school is one of the causes of unemployment- I emphasise that it is only one- they have difficulty in getting work, the sense of frustration and lack of achievement can only be compounded. [More…]
The problems of transition from school and the nature of work at school are of great importance. [More…]
That absolutely discredits the whole of his argument and it shows the political nature of this false attack upon the Government. [More…]
In essence they receive pension for their long service rather than disablement which, because it attracts only a C classification, is invariably of a minor nature. [More…]
Human nature being what it is, drivers are only too likely to take risks and attempt to pass where they ought not to with the predictable results. [More…]
One can register surprise at that and quite legitimately say: ‘Is this reasonable for the council to spend what is, in effect, taxpayers’ money on a new position of that nature at such an exalted salary?’ [More…]
Everybody in the community would be aware of this Government’s obsession with indirect taxation, which is, of course, regressive in its nature. [More…]
These will: Firstly, authorise the appointment of a second Deputy DirectorGeneral of Social Services; secondly, authorise the appointment of directors of social services in the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory; thirdly, make amendments consequent upon the new self-governing status of the Northern Territory; and, fourthly, make several drafting amendments of a correcting or consequential nature. [More…]
I ask the honourable member to desist from remarks of that nature. [More…]
Having accepted that, the logic of the position is simply this: If it is judged that there are attempts to alter the very basic nature of apartheid in South [More…]
When we have that direct assessment I think we will all be in a better position to make a judgment on whether a parliamentary delegation, which can pose some security and other problems in Kampuchea itself, is the best way of getting additional information to the Australian Government and people about the nature of the assistance which is most required in Kampuchea. [More…]
One of the presidential members of the Conciliation and Arbitration Commission has also expressed his opposition, his grave misgivings, about the nature of this legislation. [More…]
I point out that the proposed requirement is procedural in nature. [More…]
There are any number of cases which illustrate that as long as the amendments to the Conciliation and Arbitration Act are procedural in nature, there is nothing unconstitutional in them because no legislative controls are imposed over how a commissioner may exercise his discretionary powers to prevent and settle industrial disputes. [More…]
The amendments in the legislation are of a minor nature. [More…]
3) which, as the honourable member for Fremantle (Mr Dawkins) said, is of a minor technical nature. [More…]
-I do not wish to take up the time of the House any further, but I make the point that the proposed legislation before the House is of a relatively minor machinery nature. [More…]
Those provisions show the concern of the Government to bring a bipartisan approach to the operation of ASIO consistent with the responsibilities of government and with the special nature of the Organisation itself. [More…]
Concerning the nature of the advice that should be given by the Organization to a Minister, Department or authority of the Commonwealth. [More…]
Honourable members will notice that clause (2) provides in the performance of his functions under the Act the Director-General of Security is subject to the general directions of the Minister but that the Minister is not empowered to override the opinion of the Director-General concerning the nature of the advice that should be given by the Austraiian Security Intelligence Organisation to a Minister, department or authority of the Commonwealth. [More…]
The sub-clause means that the Minister cannot override the DirectorGeneral in respect of matters concerning the nature of the advice that should be given to a Minister, department or authority. [More…]
But we say that paragraph (c), which relates to the nature of the advice which should be given by the Organisation to a Minister, is fundamental to the whole arrangement of an intelligence organisation. [More…]
In summary, clause 8 provides that the Minister is not empowered to override the opinion of the Director-General on whether the collection of intelligence by the Organisation concerning a particular individual would or would not be justified by reason of its relevance to security, on the question of whether the communication of intelligence concerning a particular individual would be for a purpose relevant to security or concerning the nature of the advice that should be given by the organisation to a Minister, department or authority of the Commonwealth. [More…]
But, regardless of resources, it is a problem inherent in the nature of national security functions. [More…]
The nature of these problems and of the issues involved strongly support the view taken in the past that general security policy is a matter for the Prime Minister. [More…]
concerning the nature of the advice that should be given by the Organization to a Minister, Department or Authority of the Commonwealth. [More…]
Clause 8 (c) provides quite specifically that the Director-General is empowered to pass information ‘concerning the nature of the advice that should be given by the Organisation to a Minister, Department or Authority of the Commonwealth’. [More…]
Paragraph (c) specifically states that the Minister is no empowered to override the opinion of the Director-General: concerning the nature of the advice that should be given by the Organization to a Minister, Department or authority of the Commonwealth. [More…]
concerning the nature of the advice that should be given by the Organization to a Minister, Department or authority of the Commonwealth. [More…]
But in this chamber the Government has been prepared to sit by and watch the Opposition raising quite substantial objections to the nature of the legislation very often in terms of basic tenets of Liberal Party philosophy. [More…]
It talks about the Director-General forming an opinion concerning the nature of advice that he is giving to a Minister. [More…]
If the Minister could give directions as to the nature of the advice, the Minister could give the Director-General directions to provide him with advice such as I have suggested. [More…]
The clause clearly provides that the Minister will not be able to direct the Director-General as to the nature of the advice that he must give to him. [More…]
We are arguing that those opinions about the nature of advice to be given by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation to a Minister, a department or authority of the Commonwealth, are matters of general moment as distinct from - [More…]
One can see that coming out from the nature of the exceptions provided for in clause 8(2) which in paragraph (a) says that the Minister- that is, the Attorney-General- is not empowered to override the opinion of the Director-General, firstly, on the question whether the collection of intelligence by the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation concerning a particular individual would or would not be justified by reason of its relevance to security. [More…]
Paragraph (c) states that the Attorney-General cannot override the opinion of the Director-General concerning the nature of the advice that should be given by the Organisation to a Minister, department or authority of the Commonwealth. [More…]
It feels that the appropriate relationship between the AttorneyGeneral and the Director-General is one where the operation of the Organisation is under the control of the Director-General and whilst he is capable of being given general directions by the Minister, he cannot be given specific directions regarding the collection of intelligence and the communication of intelligence or the nature of advice to be given by the Organisation to a Minister, department or authority of the Commonwealth. [More…]
That can be the nature of the advice and therefore the advice is nil. [More…]
I do not want to delay the chamber unnecessarily because we have to go into what is our solution in the proposed amendment to clause 8, but it is no good the Government painting the picture that we are going to get some information simply because we will get the nature of it. [More…]
The nature of the advice could be that the Director-General should not give that advice. [More…]
I would have thought that the words the nature of the advice ‘ in that paragraph mean what they say. [More…]
I suspect it was the sort of speech that ought to have been delivered in the general debate rather than now because it obviously had very wide-ranging implications and went to the fundamental nature of the legislation. [More…]
If one takes the trouble to look at some of the speeches on the nature of the Bill generally it would be appreciated that the scheme of the legislation is to enable a security organisation to collect information. [More…]
Has the Australian Government entered into any specific trade agreements with ASEAN, if so, what is the nature of the agreements. [More…]

He has authorised me to say that any alterations to the greens of the questions or the debate on the matter of public importance were made by Hansard staff and were of an editorial nature only. [More…]
-Mr Speaker, I do not know whether the House appreciates that the Principal Parliamentary Reporter authorised me to say that any alterations to the greens of the questions or the debate on the matter of public importance were made by Hansard staff and were of an editorial nature only. [More…]
I ask a question of the Prime Minister which follows questions to the Minister for Defence and answers by that Minister in relation to a senior military officer who has accepted an appointment with a firm which is likely to be a supplier to the Government of expensive electronic equipment of a nature with which he has had intimate policy association on behalf of the Government. [More…]
Formidable difficulties of a political, legal and practical nature stand in the way of progress on dual nationality problems, either by way of bilateral or multilateral agreement. [More…]
Exemption from the 2 per cent duty on these goods has been made because of the temporary nature of imports of ships and similar vessels and the Government’s desire not to impede oil exploration in Australia. [More…]
I said to him: ‘If you want to say anything more to me that is likely to be of a confidential nature I ask you not to proceed because our telephone is under tap’. [More…]
We suggest that because of the enforcement nature of the warrants the period should be reduced to 30 days. [More…]
There is no reason at all why warrants of this nature, particularly in relation to narcotic offences, should remain in force for more than 30 days. [More…]
They are not something to be used in relation to speeding fines or offences of that nature. [More…]
That is why matters of this nature are to come before a judge. [More…]
Or three weeks or whatever- that the circumstances of this case make the use of a warrant to tap a telephone imperative because there is no other effective method available, having regard to the nature of the suspected offence, which is likely to be successuful. [More…]
He knows that if he gets a client before judge A as against judge B and given the nature of the offence, he is far more likely to get a better result for his client. [More…]
I would hardly think it possible that, without disclosing anything dangerous, this Parliament could not be provided with information as to the number of times warrants were granted or matters of this nature were dealt with. [More…]
Given the nature of the proceedings in the chamber yesterday, I issued a statement, which I now read: [More…]
I warn the honourable member for Port Adelaide that if he persists in interjecting and taking points of order of the nature of that he has just taken I will have to deal with him. [More…]
Because of the special nature of government activities it is subject at times to demands not encountered in the private sector and must act within government policies and procedural arrangements. [More…]

With the consent of the commissioners and upon written application, detailed information on the location and the nature of the place listed would be made available to interested persons. [More…]

Because of the nature of our country, geographically isolated from the nearest television transmitting neighbour, people will most likely have the choice of the city programs beamed into their local areas, with the very great probability, I would think, of destroying the regional television industry, such as it is. [More…]
The very nature of satellite technology, the idea of placing half a tonne of advanced electronic circuitry into orbit 22,300 miles above the earth, is quite astounding to many people. [More…]
I will be interested to see how many honourable members from both sides of the House will get massive complaints from their constituents who will lose out on their unemployment benefits because of the mandatory nature provided in the amendments to the legislation. [More…]

We are in the business of understanding the nature of change and the problems thrown up by it. [More…]
The cost problems in Australia are enormous and the Opposition has always failed to understand their deep-seated nature. [More…]
I am surprised and disappointed that again the Opposition, instead of joining enthusiastically with us, is not recognising the long term nature of what we are doing, namely, improving our capacity to create jobs which are satisfying and secure. [More…]
It is a question of human nature. [More…]
The co-operative nature of the Agreement is clearly set out in clause 38 of Part XI of the Agreement which states: [More…]
It was the most extensive, most thorough and the most searching inquiry of any nature I can recall in this Parliament, and certainly the most substantial one to have been undertaken in this particularly important area, and yet here, several years later, the key thrust of what Senator Rae and his colleagues reported has been totally ignored. [More…]
However, the honourable member for St George (Mr Neil) not only traversed issues which by their very nature are sub judice but also, in so doing, was concerned to attack the Attorney-General of New South Wales and Mr Finnane- he agrees with that- as part of an ongoing campaign which suggests that company investigations which have been carried out in that State have been unique in as much as they have involved bias, prejudice and procedures which were completely at variance with any principle of natural justice. [More…]

Has the Government investigated claims that Japanese anti-nuclear activists are training local anti-nuclear activists in Australia: if so, (a) what is the nature of the alleged security threat?, (b) how many Japanese anti-nuclear activists are suspected of being in Australia?, (c) how and when did they arrive?, (d) is there evidence that they are training local activists or anti-nuclear groups to use nonlegitimate methods to express their anti-nuclear activity: if so, what are these methods?

It seems to me that when we talk about the overall relationship between Commonwealth and State capital spending we ought to be asking questions about the nature of our society, the nature of economic growth and what kind of growth we want to encourage. [More…]
